We the well known eye} Beautiful and Imposing They | But Not Comfortable. 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. 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 embroiJered 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 Compeiled Thought of Writer and Philosopher. While among the dark, piney preci- pices of the Chartreuse bills, one day, the famois John Ruskin saw for the third time what he thought tbe 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 smaii 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 biack, cold, herbless rocks trat 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 tre birds are not identical with the old Greek “tr lus” or “runner” bird, which, a ing to Herodotus; enters] the laws of the sleeping crocodile and obliged its big friend by picking leeches from his throat. .Tho Spanish name for the humming bird is “tominejo”—meaning a third of a dram, and referring, of course, to the bird’s minuteness. Rut the prettiest names are those, such as the French “froufrou,” which refer to the humming noise sometimes pro- duced by the alm i vibration of the w her wings” is 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 Loudon 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, end soon every one was as keen about the news as if the war had becn 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 bei-¢ kept up to the end of the expedition. want to give youa Phonograph A Busy-Bee * _ Get Tickets on Every Purchase.

Frank W. Pettygrove of Seattle has | the penny that named the city of | Portland, Ore. On the toss of this | coin ‘depended the question whether the Willamette metropolis should be known as Portland or Boston. Twice the coin turned “tails,” and the town was named after Portland, Me., the former home of Mr. Pettygrove’s father. { A. L. Isovejoy of Massachusetts, a member of the party that laid out Portland, desired to name it Boston, after the most important city in his | state. Pettygrove wanted to name it Portland, after the most’ important city in Maine, his native state. They | agreed to toss a penny, heads to be Boston, tails to mean Portland, the best two in three to be the choice. Pettygrove won the first toss; Love- joy won the second, and the third proved to be tails, and Portland it was. “The younger Pettygroye still has the identica: penny and would not “take any amount of money for it.

The young woman then wrote an appeal to the governor, which he forwarded gb the secretary of war, with this indorsement: “This case appeals to all our sym- pathies, as patriots and gentlemen, | and I appeal to the chivalry of the department, of war, which presides over more heroes than Homer ever dreamed of, and better and braver men than his muse ever sung.

It is Odd Experience of a Man Who Once Wrote a Book. “T have been told,” said a man of tor men to spend muca thought and toil over inventions of one sort and another, only to find when they took these things to Washington to be pat- ented that the same ideas had long before been worked out by somebody else and that patents had already been issued on them. I had that ex- perience, once, with a book. “I spent fourteen years, once, writ- ing a book and I had it all but com- pleted. And then one day, stopping at a second-hand book stall, I picked up from among a lot of books offered at five cents each one that bore a title in the very words that I had decided upon for the title of my book; and the opening sentence in this book was al- most identical with that in my own. “Somebody else had had the same idea that I had worked over so long, and had written and published a book about it fifty years before.” Hopping From World to World, Few children reach the age of 8 years without having worked out a cosmology of their own and their own system of metaphysics. A group of youngsters of that mature age were. going home from school the other day when one began to instruct the others what to do in case of a certain crisis. “When the end of the world comes do you know what you want to do?” asked the manikin. “Well, you want to give a little jump like this.. The world will slip out from under you and you'll light on the one a followin’ it and be all right.” Then the young. _ ef, uanszal sters began practicing the sort of jump that was necessary to give them im ES
