In olden times beds were very sump- |. tuous articles of furniture, and the [| gift of one in a will represented in many cases a large sum of money, the bedstead with its fittings frequent- ly having cost several hundred pounds. In Elizabeth’s time’ and earlier, bedsteads were imposing crea- tions of oak, richly carved in all man- ner of quaint device, with, perhaps, a grinning saiyr peering from behind a pillar, sufficiently grotesque to mur- der the slumbers of the most somno- lent. Those were the days, too, of heavy silken hangings, valances and quilts, all richly embroicered in silk and gold and silver thread with heavy bullion fringes to add weight and ma- jesty. Such beds may be seen in some of the valuable collections at the museums and at English country seats, such as Warwick castle and other notable old places. To modern eyes they compare very unfavorably, despite their intrinsic value, with the simple, dainty beds of modern times. DREW ADMIRATION OF RUSKIN. Alpine Bird ‘Compelled Thought of Writer and Philosopher. While among the dark, piney preci- Dices of the Chartreuse bills, one day, the famous John Ruskin saw for the third time what he thought the most wonderful of all Alpine birds—a gray, fluttering, stealthy creature, about the size of a sparrow, but of colder gray and more graceful, which haunts the sides of the fiercest torrents. He wrote: “There is. something more strange in it than in the sea-gull— that seems a powerful creature, and the power of the sea not of a kind so adverse, so hopelessly destructive. But this smai! creature, silent, tender and light, almost like a moth in its low and irregular flight, almost touch- ing with its wings the crests of waves that would overthrow a granite wall, and haunting the hollows of the black, cold, herbless rocks tat are continu- ally shaken by their rvray, has per- haps the nearest approach to the look of a spiritual existence I know in ani- mal life.” The Humming Bird. Scientifically humming birds are “trochilidae,” and those who make a special study of them are “trochi®- diste’—although the birds are not identical with the old Greek “trochi- lus” or “runner” bird, which, accord- ing to Herodotus; entergd the laws of the sleeping crocodile and obliged its: big friend by picking leeches from his throat. The Spanish name for the humming bird is “tominejo”—meaning a third of a dram, and referring, of course, to the bird’s minuteness. But the prettiest names are those, such as the French “froufrou,” which refer to the humming noise sometimes pro- duced by the almost incredibly rapid vibration of the wings. “Purring with her wings” is the expression | of Thomas Morton (1632), the first Eng- lish writer to mention the humming bird. Arctic Expedition Amusements. In the British arctic expedition of 1875 one of the chaplains had a file of the London Times twenty years old containing the Crimean: war reports. One copy was given out to each ship daily; the officers had it first, then it went to the forecastle, and soon every one was as keen about the news as if the war had been proceeding. The clergyman in control of the press was besought to issue an evening edition, and when Sebastopol was about to be taken excitement ran so high that the newspaper office, a locker, was almost stormed. The editor, however, was firm, and continued with his daily is- sue, the interest being kept up to the end of the expedition. American Safety Devices. In spite of the fact that the United States lead the world in the invention of safety devices it has been shown that we stand first in the record of acciden‘s. The proportion of miners killed here is nearly three times as great as in France and about double that in other European countries. For every five men killed by accident in this country there are only three in all the nations of Europe combined. It is claimed that with all our quick- ness in inventing the things that make for safety we are slow to adopt them, and that many American inventions of this kind find their first recognition in Europe.—Hartford, Conn., Times. Mistakes of Authors. “I do wish,” said the Omnivorous Reader, “that these fiction producers would be a little more careful in their descriptions of people. I hay-~ become hardened to a girl with eyes like vio- lets, lips like cherries and hair like spun gold;.though such a one must be a creature fit only for a dime mu- seum. ‘ But here is Ponson de Ter- rail, my favorite French feuilletonist, who says, ‘The man’s hands were cold and clammy, like those of a serpent,’ and ‘The count walked up and down the garden reading the newspaper with his hands behind his back.’ Now? | wouldn’t that jar you?” Would Kill What He Could. The following anecdote is told con- cerning Edward Sharpe, a shoemaker by trade, who resided at East Bridge- water, Mass. At the outbreak of the civil way he was called upon to defend his country in-the army. At the time of enlistment and examination he was” asked if he preferred the infantry. “Well,” he replied, “I hain’t much of a gunner, ‘but I'll go and Kill whet I can.” $ 5 Wordsworth Seemingly Unduly Proud : of Simple Joke. = A rare old’ book, called The Living Authors of England, published in 1849, commences with a study of Words. worth, in which is recorded what is said to be the only joke the poet ever made. At a friend’s house, after din- ner, it appears, the conversation turn- ed upon wit and humor. Thomas. Moore, who was present, told some anecdotes of Sheridan, Wordsworth observed that he did not consider himself a witty poet—“in- deed,” he said, “‘I'do not think I was ever witty but once in my life.” Being pressed to tell the company what this special drollery was, the poet said, with some hesitation: “Well I. will tell you. I was standing some time ago at the entrance of my cot- tage at Rydal Mount, when a man ac- costed me with the question, ‘Pray, sir, have you seen my wife pass by?’ whereupon I answered, .Why my good friend, I didn’t know till this moment that you had a wife!’” The company stared and upon realiz- ing that this was all there was to the poet’s joke, burst into a roar of laugh- ter, which Wordsworth smilingly ac- cepted as a genuine compliment to the brilliancy of his wit. REMARKABLE FEAT OF MEMORY. Children Learn and Recite Thousands of Bible Verses. The pastor of a church in a Jersey town wished to stimulate the memo- ries of the children in his Sunday school. To this end he offered two prizes, the first to pupils. over and the other to pupils under twelve who during an interval of three months would learn to recite the greatest number of verses from the Bible. A committee was appointed to: hear the contestants for the prize and register the number of verses memorized. The first prize was taken by a young girl of sixteen who had com- mitted to memory during this interval of ninety days 12,236 verses of Scrip- ture. These passages covered the en- tire New Testament with the excep- tion of two genealogies and included liberal selections from Psalms, Gene- sis and other parts of the Old Testa- ment. The winner of the second prize was a little sister of the other prize winner, a child of eleven years. She had learned 715 verses. During the contest some 19,000 verses were mem- orized. Husband’s Best Points. A happily married woman writing to one of the household magazines says that the qualities she most admires in her husband are these, says the Philadelphia Bulletin: “A readiness to be pleased is one of his traits which brings much quiet happiness into our married life. In the management of the home he trusts me entirely, and, though he may suggest, he never dic- tates. He is seldom too busy or tired to listen interestedly to all I may have to tell him. Though he tells me his business vexations, he does not make me suffer on account of them, and is always ready to do the helpful lit- tle things that mean so much to a woman. In money matters. he takes me into his full confidence and part- nership.” Phenomena of Lightning, Ali the phenomena of lighting and all its forms are determined, doubt- less, by the kind and. amount of resis- tance it encounters. Its light is due to the resistance of the atmosphere. Its noisy and often terrifying but quite harmless, accompaniment of thunder, is due to the sudden separ- ation and reunion of bedies of air from sudden heating and cooling, and perhaps in part to.the explosion of gases into which watery vapor is de composed by the intense heat of elec- trical flashes, the result of such ex- being their recombination in the proportions of water. Stage Tears. The true heroine, of the accepted type, must know the secret of weep- ing for hours at a time, without in any way blemishing her beauty. Further, in moments of deep emotion she must he’ prepared to bite her lips till they bleed, and yet exhibit no subsequent sign of swelling or disfigurement. The tears of the heroine who.would be pop- ular must be controlled by the ordin- ary laws of gravity, so that they hang indefinitely on the ends of her long lashes, and give rise to the well-worn simile of “Violets washed in dew.”— Daily Dispatch. Failures and Successes. ‘Men have two kinds of ambition— one for dollar-making, the other for life-making. Some turn all their abil- ity, education, health and — energy toward the first .of these—dollar- making—and call the result -success. Others:turn them toward the second— into. character, usefulness, helpful- ness—life-making—and. the sometimes calls them failures; but history calls them successes. No price is too great to pay for an untar-. nished -name.—O. S. Marden in Suc’ cess Magazine. world Songs That Have Won Favor, The intensely popular song is not the only one which it is very profita- | ble to write. Among the most! suc- cessful of better-class songs may be mentioned “Violets” and. “Oh Dry Those Tears.” The manuscript of' the former was offered to and rejected by nearly all the principal publiskers in London before it was eventually accepted. and printed. It speedily won its way to favor, and its sale has been both large and regular ever since.. aREAT POET'S ONE WITTICISM. | whereupon - epeenehsedseqnesedsesivens Sessescnessessssnssescess Wanrep. — Men in each state to l\ravel, post signs, advertise and leave samples of our goods.
