Tho Moltko had fine weather nil of tho way, and tlie englnca wero driving lior at a Boventeen-knot gait when tho gulf wtrcam wn encountered. For two daya before this the hlp had dropped in her pecd in an almost unoxplalnablo manner. On Monday tho midday reckoning showed 401 knots, tho noxt day 307 knots, then 389 and 382 on tho following days, and Captain Ituacr began to Beck fpr tho cause. Tho water suddenly began to grow warmer, and in streaks, or, aH the cap tain said, "llko flngera," and thoro wero high temperatures thnt were atnrtllng. Coming out of water showing from 12 and 07 degrees Fahrenheit, tho thermometer registered 80 degrees. At this tlmo the ship fell off in her speed fully a knot and a half an hour, and the water took on the blue Ungo ao not!ceab in tho tropics. For five hours, n distance of nearly eighty miles, this high temperature was recordqd, and all day tho peculiar activity of tho gulf atream was ap parent When tho day's run was compared it was fouud that Uio ship had logged only 807 miles. ANCIENT FURNITURb. TJio Couch Who 51 out Important n II omen of Kuyptlaiia. The couch was one of tho most im portant pieces of furniture in tho homes of the people of ancient Egypt. It was used at meal times to recline upon, aa well an at night for a bed. Probably tho earliest mention of the bed is to be found in II. Kings, iv. chapter, of tho Old Testament, when Ellsha visited tho Shumenito about fel5 11. 0., and we are told of tho preparations for the reception of tho prophet, "Lot us make n little cham ber, I pray thee, on the wall, and let us set for him there a bed, nnd n table, nnd n utood and a candlestick," nnd another incident Is about 420 years later, in tho "book of Esther," when upon alluding to tho grandeur of tho palnco of Ahnnucrus, we arc enabled to catch a gllmpso of Eastern magnificence in tho description of the court of tho garden of tho king's pal nco, "where wero white, green nnd bluo hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen nnd purple to sliver rings SOMA COUCH. and pillars of murblo; tho bods wore of gold and silver, upon u pavement of red and blue, nnd whlto und black marble." Tho beds of tho masses then consisted of coarso stuffed pil lows or cushions thrown or piled in n corner of the room or plnced nround Its aides and used for seats by day and bctla by night. There were n great many head rests in vogue at that time, uaed In connection with a large straw sack, upon which they slept. Later a platform a little higher than a seat was built up at ono end of the room and the bed was prepared for tho (deeper by placing cushions around It. The Egyptians were tho first people to make movable beds. With the advent of the Greeks, "who received their first rudiments of art from the Egyptians," came changes and elaborations of the old forms. The furniture and utensils of tho early Grecian honse could not compare with that of modern times in completeness and variety, yet they wero by no means wanting in design and construc tion. Couches were often richly adorned and frequently wero cast of bronze or made of wood and Inlaid with ivory and silver, tho feet grace fully formed, of bold design and ele gant proportions, endfng usually in lion's paws. Figures of men nnd nnl mals frequently appear In these deco rations. Peculiarly rich and ornament al were tho chairs and couches, tho former being uHod by the women and the latter by the men, who loved to rad, write and take their meals as the ISgyptlana before them in a ro cllntng position. The couch, which in dnytlmo waa used chlofly by tho mon had as a bod atoad a kind of bench, either with out a back or with a low hoadbonrd; a footboard being not bo common. Tho covers which wero laid over It, and which were afterward superseded by cushions filled with feathers, wero of various klnda. rough or Binooth, heavy or light, aomeUmea woven in colored designs or embroidered with gold or silver, and trimmed with fringes and tasaela; and a similar drapery ofton Burrounded the lower part of the couch and concealed the feet Thoy were used on "the eouches for reel lu ng, as -well as for the bed, which only differed from th former in hav ing a eoyerlld and sheets of unon. Karly reference to Greek furniture Is made by Hester, who describee cover lids ot dyed wool aa part of the ac cessories of a great man's residence centuries before tho period which we recognize as tho "meridian" of Greek art Tho bedding was never kept In largo presses or closets, but in chests of tho same form as tho caskebj for cosmetics and Jewelry.

For want of an artistic stylo of their own they were dependent at first upon tho GreokB, but Instead of following the simplicity of that stylo they cxag gcrated tho decorntlvo treatment In accordance with their love for splen dor. Their beds were made with ex traordinary beauty and costliness. They had mattresses stuffed with swansdown, woolen blankets nnd rich ly embroidered sheets. After the fall of Home bedB and nil other articles of furniture returned to the most prlml tive forms, the household goods of tho masses consisting of nothing but a bench, a chest and a few Bklns. Tho chest was used as a table by day, and with the skins thrown over It ns a bed by night About the eleventh century furniture became more gen erally used, and the peoplo of tho Anglo-Saxon raco began to build nl coves or recesses ln the walls of their homes and sacks of fresh straw wero laid on a bench or raised boards and curtains were hung to conceal the same from tho rooms. Goat nnd bear skins wero then used as coverlets. Cincinnati Enquirer. WILD AND WOOLLY WEST. Antic of a Steer MuyjFtirthcr Muddle Kontern Idcaa. It is much to be regretted that news got nbroad of the steer running amuck In the streets of Alton, sluco tho in telligence is likely further to embar rass us ln our efforts to convince tho effete and obtuse cast that our mid country western metropolis nro alto gether civilized and eufe. It Is with no little difficulty even at this late day that the confined con servatism of New England admits that wo are on the map as real cities and not ns mere rough centers of the wild life of tho plains. Tenaciously a good many peoplo "over east" still cling to tho notion that everything this sldo of the Alleghanlcs Is a sort of vague beyond, peopled principally by buffalo, Indians, range cattle, cow punchers, sago hens nnd prairie dogs, and occasionally enllvenod by the moro conspicuous types of n Buffalo Bill or a Roosevelt, but wholly lm posslblo as a habitat It Is discouraging, therefore, to have It go out over tho wires that "a steer brought up from St Louis to Alton Wednesday held tho streets un til 11 p. m., tcrorlzlng tho citizens nnd cutting up pranks. At North Alton, among other things, tho steer ran Into H. Wutzler'B Btoro door, but backed out again without doing any dnmagtv Then It ran Into a horso nnd cnrrlago. Tho occupants fortunately Jumped from tho vehicle Finally Ed. Adams succeeded ln roping tho ani mal." It la n reflection of additional dis comfort to us that tho steer hailed from St Louis. When this city shall have streng thened n littlo further ns n financial center so that It can supply funds not only to nil tho southwest, but to tho Mlddlo States as well, and consequent ly no longor feel tho need of borrow ing money from tha Easterners ln Wall Btrect and ehjowhero, wo shan't tnko tho troublo to puncturo their thickly roluctnnt intelligences with tho truth about our civillzodncss and even cosmopollto culturo and polish; but in tho menntlmo wo ought cither to lay a great deal of stress on facts about our finished conditions of living or to foneo up our Btock.st ixmia Republic. When you find thexo Is nothing in your "doctrluo," how foolish you feel I JOHN AND THE BIRDS. A Little Htorjr of tlio III lUiie-Oray AlulteMo find tlio Jiiyn. John was a most magnlflcent-looklng specimen of tho domestic cat a Mai lose. His blue-gray coat was like tho finest, silkiest velvet, and ho had a proper care in keeping Jt in tho best condition. Ho had tho most fastidious habit eating nothing but tho choic est of morsels, nnd selecting tho soft est, downiest pillows to repose upon Ho was a much-pampered cat, says tho riilladelphla Record, His mistress had Indulged his whims to such a degree that ho bec-amo Intensely selfish and exacting, as spoiled children nnd pets aro apt to become. John lived ln a great house In the mlddlo of a largo square whero there were perhaps a hundred or more noble trees. You should see John's superati tlous manner how his nose went up in the air when any stranger cat ven tured upon his preserves. Every par ticular hair seemed to quiver and stand on end becauso of injured dignity. He seemed to say, "Why do these common cats como betwixt tho wind and my nobility?" Ho feared, too. nerhans. that hi share of birds would be matcrfally les sened. Ho himself played sad havoc with tho robins and tho wrens. I am not sure whether tho Jays, who had a largo colony on tho grounds, were nble to hold their own against him. . Ono warm morning ln early summer as I sat on tho piazza my attention was attracted by the loud cries of the Jays, and thero sat John nt the foot of a tree waving his tnil ln Impotent fury, for three Jays wero at his head, first ono and then another tweaking out witii their bills great bunches of beautiful fur. "Take that! Take that, you murderous villain!" they exclaim ed, or rather shrieked ln unmistakable tones of revenge. "You have had your way with our blrdlings; now vre havo you. Take that, and that!" and out Hew great bunches of silken, fluffy fur that had been so carefully combed and cleaned only a few bourse earlier that warm Juno morning. John glared nt his tormentors, gnashed his teeth, but to no avail. At last apparently satisfied with the vengeanco they had wreaked on their enemy, the cat. tho Jays, with wild, exultant cries, flew off to their rookery In the old trees back of the house John, humbled and discomfited, made his way off, too. Whether ho profited by thodrubblng the Jays gave him, I cannot tell. One more episode, ln which John was an actor, I must relate. A beautl fill little black and tan had been given to mo some months after I went to live ln the house where John seemed to havo such undisputed sway. I was ill when tlio little creature was brought to the house, and for a few days was obliged to He on the sofa much of the time. Gyp, affectionate as It Is the nature of dogs to be, would come to me, put her paws on the sofa and look Into my face ns much as to Bay, "Why do you He here? Why don't you come out for a run under the trees?" One day he sat on the side of the fire, John on the other. Instead of coming to my 6ofa by the direct line, Gyp, fearing John, went In n round about way. John from his place sprang up to Intercept Gyp and gave her a re sounding whack on the sldo of her face with his open paw. Ho had seen already that Gyp had- won a place ln my affections and took this way of Allowing his anger nnd Jealousy. Dear little Gyp, every ono loved her. For ono friend tnnt John had, she had twenty. Indeed, I am not quite Buro that John had ono friend, -while Gyp had legions. Many admired him for his beauty and grace, but "handsome is that handsome does," you know. Bird Travol Falling Off. "A henvy falling off ln bird travel 1b noticeable of late," said Mrs. Louise Schull. Union depot matron, this morn fng. "I am trying to reason out the cause of it" "Bird travel?" asked tlio one ad dressed. "Birds migrate by wing and not on railroad tickets. What do you mean?" "Tho birds did not pay fare, but they traveled by rail extensively, Just the Bame," tlio matron replied. "At ono tlmo nearly every woman thnt boarded or disembarked from a rail road train carried In addition to threo grips two or three cages of parrots or canaries. No woman seemed to think of traveling without n bird cage or two. Now n bird cage is seldom aeon. Good sense, probably, has ban ished tlio birds to the caro of tho housekeeper or to tho boarding aviary -whllo their mistress travels." Kansas City Sta Ills Huuoeas.
