T.
Unlike the Hebrews, Greeks and Bo
roans, our English forefathers -were un
used to the luxury of the bedstead. Their
makeshifts durlntr the troublous times

dignified bv the name of -bed." which
is primarily an outcome or. peace ana
prosperity. As the country became less
turbulent, the warrior did not find it
necessary to sleep armed for attack upon
the rude board table or upon the long
chest on top of which bags of straw
had been thrown; so that as early as the
10th century permanent recesses covered
with sacks of straw and curtained off
from the main room were constructed in
the great halls. Even these primitive con
trivances were considered the luxuries of
the nobility, and the "bed reafs" and
curtains were handed down from genera
tion to generation as treasured legacies.
Although after the Xonnan conquest their
resting places presented a less shelf-like
appearance, in some antiquated places
they are in use at this day. Frederick
Litchfield, in speaking of a recent visit
to a farmhouse in Brittany, alludes to
the curious beds which he saw there,
"consisting of shelves for parents and
children, which form a cupboard In the
wall and are shut in during the day
by a pair of lattice doors of Moorish de
elgn." He furthermore states that these
perches are reached by means of an
oddly carved Moorish chest, which serves
as a step. This quaint furniture was
doubtless made in the middle of the 15th
century, and has been many times handed
down from father to son. These rudi
mentary beds were also a feature of
colonial furnishings, and a veritable one
Is described by Alice Morse Earle In her
"China Collecting in America" as a part
of the appointments of ah old New Eng
land farmhouse. Such a bed was called
a "slow bank," which term, says the
author, "is a corruption of 'sloap bancke,'
or sleeping bench, and the slow bank
was the great-grandfather of our mod
ern cabinet folding bed. At one end of
the room are doors apparently belonging
to cupboards, which, upon being swung
wide open, disclose the oblong frame of
a bed with a network of ropes to serve
as springs. This bed frame Is fastened
at one end to the wall with heavy hinges,
and was hooked up against the wall In the
daytime and at night was lowered to -horizontal
position and supported on
heavy wooden-turned legs, which fitted
into sockets In the frame."
For many centuries bedsteads were used
only by Kings and Queens, and were
stately affairs, richly carved, un wieldly
and of enormous slse. A typical royal bed
of the time of the French renaissance
was taken from the chateau of Pau,
where it was the property of Jeanne
d'Albret, mother of Henry IV. This huge
oaken affair is carved with the date 1562,
and, judging from the proportion of space
occupied by the figure reclining upon
it, must realty have been an openwork
wooden room or box, or else must have
exercised a most dwarfing effect upon
its inmates. Possibly, like its contem
porary, the Great Bed of "Ware, it was t
intended to accommodate eight persons.
Shakespeare alludes In "Twelfth Night"
to the immoderate size of this bed when
he makes Sir Toby Belch say: "And as
many lies as shall He in thy sheet of
paper, altho' the sheet were big enough
for the Bed of Ware in England, set 'em
down,' go about it."
These huge constructions were gradu
ally made with less woodwork at the
sides and with broad, heavy cornerpleces,
which In time evolved into the lighter,
old-fashioned four-poster, with its pan
eled tester and draped canopy, known as
the "canopy bed." For this style of bed

Chippendale in the latter part of the ISth
century devised many forms of pillars.
His sketches for a state bed, as well as
Sheraton's for a canopy bed and the ta
pestried bed of Marie Antoinette, all be
speak statellness rather than comfort. In
fact, designs for state beds are Inter

our modern beds have been modified. Pos

hangings, but n the other hand we have
gained 1b cleanliness, "lightness and free
dom from dust.
Strangely enough in feudal days the
bedstead was considered a most suitable
furnishing for the jarlor. The "parlolr"
or "talking-room" was the first offshoot
from the common hall or "houseplace."
It was then furnished with carved oak
settles, the ubiquitous chest and the liv
ery cupboards fr drinking vessels and
unused viands which had formerly stood
on the dais and was not otherwise encum
bored with the tkousand-and-one unneces
sary addenda which transform our mod
ern living rooms Into a combination of
conservatory and curio shop.
The next division of house room (about
the time of the Reformation) was the
"prlvee parlolr" an outcome of the pars
ing of feudalism, and the days of relig
ious persecution when masters of the
i household had fear of the mischief -which
Trg? rTioliie - -- lrtri"nlTTr TtTntrtHT"J
might make. Both church and govern
ment took great exception to this -withdrawal
from public family life; and bish
ops inveighed against "sundrie noblemen
and gentlemen and others -who doe much
dellghte to dyne In corners and secret
places." In spite of Invective against
tnis .separation of class from class, tne
partition of the house Into bedroom, bou
doir and dra-wlng-room went on, and this
division into smaller rooms quickened the
general Interest In procuring the furni
ture suitable to each room. Sir Henry
"Wotton, an Ambassador In the time of
James I, thus quaintly defends the grow
ing love of plenishing the. home: "Every
man's proper mansion house and home,
being the theater of his hospitality, the
seate of his selfe fruition, the comfort-

his son's inheritance, a kind of private
princedom, nay, the possession there of an
epitome of the whole world, may well
deserve by these attributes, according to
the degree of the master, to be delight
fully adorned."
The hedstead was accordingly banished
to the 'sleeping-room and replaced In the
drawlng-rooom "by the "day bed" prob
ably a carved oak settle containing cloth
lng within its chest seat, the lid of which
was made comfortable as a daytime
lounging place by means of movable cush
ions. Next the banqueting table was rele

table was substituted In the living-room.

designed by Sheraton. These latter were
invariably made of mahogany. Sheraton
depending mainly upon his marquetry for
decoration.
Mahogany came Into general use early
In the 18th century, owing to the per
sistence of a Dr. Gibbon, who wished to '
convert some mahogany planks sit him i
by his brother, a West Indian captain, i
into a candle box for his wife. The i
Joiner found this foreign wood too hard
for his tools; but the undaunted doctor

doctor, delighted with the peculiar grain,
toughness and susceptibility and high pol
ish of this richly colored wood, next or
dered a bureau made, which so took by
storm the court party that It quickly be
came the rage. Litchfield thinks that the
expression, "putting one's knees under a
friend's mahogany," probably originated
about this time.

Fortnes In Yearling: Horses.
London Mall.
It Is no exaggeration to say that the
I nonraclng public have but the fainest idea
I of the extraordinary value of first-class
. blood stock at the present dav. It will
i Improve their knowledge to learn that
at Newmarket -recently 12 yearlings bred
at the famous Eaton stud by the late
j Duke of Westminster sold at auction for
40,Sw guineas, giving an average of 3G0S
guineas. (About flS.OCO each, American
money.)
Excitement was anticipated chiefly by
reason of the presence among the year
lings of a brother to Flying Fox." the
Derby winner of last year, and for whom
In the Spring M. E. Blanc paid the fab
ulous sum of 37,E guineas. It was,
however, not by the Fox's brother, but
by another youngster, that the previous I
yearling record was eclipsed. I
Early in the sale. Mr. Jslevpr struck the j
note of high prices by giving CW guineas '
for the colt hy Orme, from Gantlet, and j
OaU
i
hls blood being up, he knocked all prece
dents Into a cocked hat by paying 10,000
guineas for a filly by Persimmon; while
later he supplemented these purchases
by taking the filly by Trenton, from San
dlway, at 5500. He had previously ex
pended the trifle of 700 for a colt by Orme.
These results In themselves would have
been sufficient to make the sale memor
able for all time, but In addition, the colt
by Orme, from Kissing Cup, was knocked
down to the young Duke for S100, after
his opponent had retired at a hundred
less. For Flying Fox's brother, the
commoner, reconsidering his determina
tion, made no bid, and so the Duke got
him for 5700 guineas, which was a sad
blow for those who had prophesied his
fetching five figures.
VERY CAREFUL OF A WILL .
Extraordinary Precautions to Pre
serve a Millionaire's Testament
Philadelphia Bulletin.
Few men have sailed the sea with
$3,000,000 or Its equivalent in their pocket.
This responsible office fell upon Sheriff
J Samuel M. Clement, who departed from
Paris on the steamer St. Paul with the
famous Evans will tucked away in his
inner pocket. Should this will be lost
Philadelphia would lose $3,000,000. This
Is a low estimate of the sum left by the
former royal dentist, Dr. Thomas "W.
Evans, for the building of a museum and
dental institute In this, his native city.
Mr. Clement went as the special com-
'mlssloner of the Orphans' Court, which
j sent him In order to have two signatures
to the will proved. The witnesses whose
signatures are to be proved live In Paris
and will not come to this Country. Hence
It became necessary to send the will to
France to secure the necessary legal proof
before the will can be probated here. The
court enjoined Mr. Clement not to permit
the will at any time to leave his hands,
and there is no man who would be more
conscientious about holding the injunc
tion. Here is what Mr. Clement took:
Original will In a rubber waterproof
case, tightly sealed.
Photograph of the original will.
Certified copy of the original will.
These three will sleep, eat and ride with
the commissioner for a month, as he
will keep them by his side throughout
the trip, and will have them with him
when he retires for the night, he having
had special pockets made for the pur-
j pose.
The object of Incasing the will In a
waterproof envelope Is to prevent It, In
the event of disaster, from becoming lost
by obliteration from washing of the wat
er. It was deemed advisable to have the.
valuable envelope put In a safe, as in
case of accident there might bo some
doubt as to its whereabouts.
While the photograph and certified copy
might not be of great legal value were
the original lost. It was thought the part
of wisdom to have them In reserve They
will be specially valuable after the proof
of the signatures Is obtained, and might
be used to effect in court.
The necessity for extreme care Is appar
ent. The vast estate of Dr. Evans is in
litigation and the heirs would not weep
if the will devising funds for a great
museum happened to be lost, as there
then would be $5,000,000 to divide.
The step taken by the court could not
be avoided, as in order to strengthen the
city In its position the proof of the signa
tures had to be secured.
I Mr. Clement, who is accompanied by
1 Mrs. Clement, will return within a month.
i His trip is about the fifth made necessary
to Paris by an official representative of
the city since the litigation began.
Vote Canvassing in the South.
Indianapolis Press.
Primitive rules as to vote canvassing are
observed in some Southern State3. At a
recent general election In Georgia there
were no returns from one of the counties
in consequence of a fire In the Court
house, so the vote In the county was Ig
nored. At the recent election In Virginia
one of the counties was omitted from the
canvass owing to the fact that some of
the local officials had neglected to open
some of the polling booths In It because
election day was rainy.

There's something about the little
black dress that touches a man in a very
tender spot. He pats the little one on
the head, puts some pennies in her hand,
swallows hard and then starts out to
make his own children fatherless. There
is no doubt that many a man ic taken
from his family by neglect of simple
precautions which would preserve hio
health. Disease generally begins nowa
days in "stomach trouble" because the
meals are hasty and the food not di
gested. From that beginning come dis
orders of the blood, liver, kianeys, heart
or nerves. The use of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, for diseases
of the organs of digestion and nutrition
will avert the catastrophe of more seri
ous disease. It strengthens the stomach,
purifies the blood, nourishes the nerves,
and builds men up in both brain and
body.
I can say to yon, one bottle of your 'Golden
Medical Discovery' has cured me sound and
well after suffering two Ion; years with stom
ach disease, writes Y. H. r.raswell, of McAden
ville, Gaston Co., N. C. My health is worth all
the world to me. I will praise you as long as
1 live."
