Chicago Nationals Win Johnstone One of the Umpires. New York, Aug. 8.-Everything pass ed off quietly at the Polo grounds to day and Chicago beat the New York team by 3 to 2. It was learned early in the afternoon that the local club would not prohibit the entrance of any umpire assigned by President Pulliam to the grounds. When Umpires Johnstone and Emslie reached the gate they were ac companied by President Pulliam, who had come hastily from Saratoga, and as soon as he had seeti the pair gain admittance without interference he scurried away in an automobile without going inside the turnstile. Neither Manager McGraw nor Third Baseman Devlin was to be seen to-day, as each had incurred the penalty of sus pension for a few days. There was no disturbance during the game, and Reulbach, who pitched a fine game for the visitors, was frequently applauded for his good work. ' After something of a delay with the bases full in New York's half of the ninth inning Brown relieved Reulbach in the box for Chicago, which proved to be a winnirig move on the part of the visiting manager.

NEW HAVEN MORNING JOURNAL AND COURIER. Without a visor. His two sons were his clerks. A bevy of wealthy native ladies were trading at the opposite counter, but he did not leave us to go to them. The loose-flowing silk gar ments of these iladiejs were light as air bordered with gold. Some of them were bespangled with chips of diamonds and rubies so light and small as scarce ly to be seen yet they glistened and gave a pretty stage effect. This Indian style of adornment is unknown in nothern countries. "This merchant built a modern pal- ace and temple in the suburbs of Cal cutta at which rich and poor may worship, and in which he and his fam ily worship every morning of their lives. We were shown, through it. It was series of gardens containing every plant and flower of the tropics. Cool fountains played streams of clear wa. ter through mouths of broze lions or fishes. The white marble walls were figured and carved. Grim statues of Indian warriors in marble guarded every entrance. Inside were Mosala halls, the walls alive with, bright colors and dusted with precious stones. Panel pictures relieved the scene and gave the whole a quiet effect. Silent dark specters in short swords, weaving flow ing- robes, sashes and turbans stood as servants and guards at the portals. It was a rare sight sight to us.

Lunatics Sometimes Devise Really Use ful Articles. It Is stated in all seriousness by the resident physician of a large .asylum for the insane near Washington that persons confined in such institutions frequently display an inventive turn of mind. One of his patients, declares this official, believes himself shut up In the asylum because of his inability to pay the Natonal debt, and n the hope of raising the wherewithal to de fray this trifling obligation and bo ob tain release, he has devoted himself to inventing things. Shtange to say, among a host of ab surd ideas he has produced, two are really practicable. His friends and the physician quoted have supplied him with such harmless materials as he re quires, and he has lately finished a sim ple automatic contrivance for the head of a tennis racket, to pick up the balls and abolish stooping. It acts perfectly and so convinced are a number of offi cials in the institution that there Is money in the idea, they have advised the lunatic's friends to secure a patient for him, in case he became cured. His other invention is of a different kind, being a really efficacious prevent ive of seasickness; it is Very simple; two of its compent parts are in every kitchen and the rest in every drug store. As an instance of the cleverness of the Insane. It is interesting to note that a very valuable improvement con nected with machinery, now In daily use everywhere was'invented by the Inmate of an asylum In Massachusetts, well known to everyone by name. As he is now quite cured and is a some what prominent man, name cannot, of course, be given, but his invention, de signed and modeled as a diversion while absolutely insane, has since brought him in thousands of dollars. A lunatic in an asylum In Louisiana invented a flying machine, together with a unique method of suspending it in midair. "Atmospheric pressure be ing fifteen pounds to the square inch," he said, "I have simply to exhaust all the air from above my airship by an enormous air pump fixed over the whole deck and the air pressure underneath will support the ship. The official humored this gentleman by telling him the idea was a good one, but that he would need a second air pump on top of the first to exhaust the air that would be pressing down that pump, and another .that, and so on, but he declared he once made a model that worked splendidly, He said: "It flew about the room like a bird. Un fortunately the window chanced to be open at the time, so It flew out and I therefore lost it." The superintendent of another asylum tells of a patient who evolved a plan for laying a cable around the world In two day. His idea was to send up a powerful balloon to the highest possl his altitude with a cable attached. By the revolution of the earth on its axis the cable would, he declared, he had completely around the earth in 24 hours Philadelphia Record. CALLED TO WEST TORRINGTON. The Rev. Charles M.

Development of a Useful Article of Household Furniture. One of the very earliest, as. well as the most important, .pieces of furniture to be found in mediaeval homes was the chest. Its companions in the rude dwelling of that period were a stool of most primitive form, a board set on trestles, which served to hold the wood en trenches and drinking cups, and oc cassionaliy a bed. When the hunter, lord of the manor or ploughman came home from his labors he threw him self on a couch on the floor on which were spread some shins or rough wol len cloth, which served for warmth. In many homes of some pretension there was but a single, bed, in which the knight and his lady rested, while the remainder of the household lay up on, the floor, or stretched themselves upon the chest, which contained the fortune of the family. There were no banks, no places where property might be stored and papers deposited, and each man held on to his goods by force of arms and the strength and secret contrivance of the ponderous locks which he had placed on his chests. They were rendered more secure at night by having a sleep with his sword near at hand, occupy ing the lid, and in the day the mistress o fthe manor and the faidens were at work all the time on their, endless spin ning or tapestry work near at hand. There are "very few chests remaining which can be identified as having made prior to the thirteenth century, only one or two, in fact and one of these at Stoke 'dAboron Church, in , Surrey, England, is made of oak, with the re mains of three ponderous locks and some simple Gothic carving. One or two, said to be equally ancient, have ornamentation of Iron work upon them, the design showing great skill in the working of the metal and beauty In the design. By 1233 we come to the period of documentary evidence as to what was In use by royalty at least, and from that series of papers known as the "Close Rolls," still preserved in England, can be drawn many details as ta what was in use. Commands of the King; with reference to painting the rooms of himself and his Queen ' date fiom 1239. Though chairs did not come into common use till the sixteenth century there were benches with high backs for those who could afford them and always the chest. The chests in which we are Interested are of a later period ,and the earliest are of oak, carved or inlaid, standing flat on the ground, or on legs made from the continuation of the : stiles. The decoration was applied to the pan els of the front, of which there were commonly three, and to the upper rail, the lower one being plain. It was in choice specimens only that the sides were panelled, and where the carving was made in Holland was often the case in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries) and then sent to England the wood of the body of the chest may be different from the panels. The tops or lids are plain with few exceptions. Many of the chests to be found here have the lids of pine, though I have also sen many black oak, heavy and solid, though the mortised ends have had to be strengthened with nails. 'Standing chests," or hutches, as they were also called, were named from 1 a chest of similar style and 0 French make, called "huohe." Every nation used these articles, and the indididual- ! Uy of each is stamped upon their prod uct. No Italian family was without its cassone," or marriage chest. In it waa stored a wealth cf linen and silk, 1 jewels and velvet, the portion of the daughters of the house, which were freely displayed when callers came, so that the wealth of the family would be known and bring suitors forward, no matter how unattractive the lady. All Italian literature deals In one way or another with the chest. Lovers, and other criminals hid in them. Paint ers lavished on them tne choicest la. bors of their hands. Cabinet makers vied one with another as to which should produce the finest specimens, and besides the wood carvers artisans were employed to inlay them with and anything that could add to their richness. Gold leaf was added to all the other things, and a little coffer or chest for a lady's Jewels had, tn addi tion, trays lined with choicest Genoa velvet or silk from Damascus. Spain was not behind other Continen tal countries in her work upon chests and produced a kind of standing cabi net or chest which is always handsome and usually very ornate. I have seen soma made of ebony and painted with the most charming designs, each one different even the small drawers be hind the doors of the larger panels hav ing their painting, too. Red velvet and gilt nails were affected occassional!? by the Spanish on the legs of these chests, which was very poor art and perishable as well. It is rather interesting to compare theso flowers of art with the simple pieces which were made in such num bers in England and later in this coun ivory, toroise shell, pearl, lapis lazuli try. They were sometimes called "Bible boxes," since the precious book was car 190G; 11 1 1 iimiiii ,, You will scarcely be lieve a soda cracker can be so perfect until you tastejtbeione perfect Soda Cracker nee So deliciously baked so tender and flakyso won derfully preserved by a moisture proof package. It is the only real Soda Cracker. ried in them along with such . small store of money and few papers as, the owner had. They were small, twelve or fourteen inches long, and had occasion ally slanting tops, on which writing could be done. In some the two upper sets of draws are false, being really a chest with mock handles and locks, only tie lower ocks, being of use. This was a common usage after the chest acquired draw ers in its upward fight. Just why it was so made it is hard to tel. Perhaps it saved the work of grooving the sides of the drawers so that they could move' on runners, which were fastened on the carcass of the chest. This is o the kind called a wainscot chest, made of mouldings with tha upper and lower sets of drawers splayed and the nail heads set on ffor ornament. The grain of the oak shows plainly and the piece is enormously, heavy, as it . is oak throughout. Indeed, the usage of mak ing art of these chests of ulne was not without its merits, since it made them lighter articles to handle. It was not the cabinet maker onlc who put together these wainscot chests for the local carpenter was often called upon to do it and to set up the wain scot, which -was brought by the fott, as well, and it was not difficult to make such a chest. Iron was the metal allied to the an cient oak furniture. Wooden knobs were not usual on these chests, and I think these have . been aaded, too, though I have found them on seme cupboards of about this same, period,, that is the last half of the seventeenth or the first quarter of the eighteenth century. . . J When the chest once began to rise on legs it went up very high. In fact it. be came decidedly Inconvenient, for how was It possible to see the contents of those upper drawers? Presumably wo men did not keep their bureau drawers In any better order than they do to-day and It must have been discouraging to find a handkerchief say, in one of the two small upper ones. It was a curious fancy which led the makers of these chests on legs to put four legs in front and only two behind, with stretchers to steady them. This was the pattern of all the early ones, and when the two middle legs in front were no longer used, the pieces" where they had been were marked by two carved drops, or ornaments. Many of these chests, "highboys" we call them now, have ornate tops, being finished with a broken arch conlce, or carved ornaments, or with a lattice work aroh. From Wood Craft.
