In one corner appear the only luxuries a large pail full of water, a green basin, a bottle, and a glass. Some books are piled on a rickety cane-seated chair; and a second chair bears a plate of beans and some bread. The place indicates extreme poverty, but is clean and orderly. The feverish man complains of the cold, of the dampness, of the dark.
The room should be comfortably furnished with a single enameled bed the plainer the better and more easily cleaned an inexpensive dresser and washstand, the bowl, pitcher, etc., for the latter preferably of the white porcelain enamel ware, a comfortable high-backed rocker, and one common cane-seated chair.
There were big, old-fashioned, cane-seated and backed easy-chairs, with hard cushions covered with chintz, other tables, a chintz-covered couch, a bookcase with diamond-paned glass doors. On the broad marble mantelpiece were an Empire clock and some old china, and over it a long gilt mirror with a moulded device of lions drawing chariots and cupids flying above them.

A fat man sitting outside a livery stable door in a tilted, cane-seated chair offered a possibility of information. "Do you know where I can get a room around here?" asked Eugene. The lounger looked him over. He was the proprietor of the place.
To the right of the shop was the dining-room, a neat looking apartment containing a sideboard, a table, and several cane-seated chairs of light oak.
In the original Indian snow-shoe, from which our drawing was made, the net work was constructed from strips of moose hide, which were interlaced much after the manner of an ordinary cane-seated chair.
Brainard lounged Hugh Breckenridge as nearly as one could be said to lounge in a plain, cane-seated chair without arms. At one side of the group was Webb Atchison, the rich bachelor of the party where all were possessed of wealth in plenty. Next Atchison sat Miss Helena Forrest, the one member of the company who had not known where she was going until well upon her way there.
