THE PROGRESS OF COMFORT.

lnhe first period of occupation of England
by mankind, there is no doubt that as the
flesh of animals served for food, so their skins
served for clothes. They had no wooden
tabrcks to use for such purpose; they had
neither manufactures of their own, nor
money, nor other articles of barter, 10 ex.
change for the clothing materials made by
the nations of the continent, who we're more
advanced in knowledge and comfort. VOL
len clothes, (frst in England in 1917 and
those o flax, we're the early products of ad.
Vancing knowledge and civilization. Those
OF silk were not made in England until about
the year 1910, Shoes were not produced,
of the present fashion, until 1888. AS to
furniture, the early inhabiants of England
employed leaves aad dried grass for beds;
logs OF wood or stones served the office of
ceairs and tables; the earth was their foo. -
1t was only by gradual degrees that benches
and other raised seats were used. The floor
was at length garnished with rushes and
straw, mixed with sweet scented hay or
flowers Another long interval elapsed be>

England. The beds on which ou, ancestors

THE ROCHESTER KNOCKERS,

What mocking spirit may have assumed
