BEDS.

The enormous beds in fashion in the mid
die sges, in which not only the whole flmi-
", bui fAvorite domestic animals, hunting
dogs, cats, etc, repOsed together, excite our
hTeiiest astOnishmeus. In thIss days the
aIistocrscy did not find it undisui5ed to
share their touches with friends or guests
who sought their hospitality. 1t was on the
contrary, considered 4 mark Of sincere
friendship.
Il is now commonly believed that where
two persons sleep together, one abstracts
from the other some amount OF vital force.
This is especially the case where cid and
young persons share the same bed. Be
sides in q room where there is no decided
current of air, the emanations from the
lungs and skin of the sleeper p,isOn the at
mosphere for considerable Oi5tsnc3. In
the public wards of the great hospitals,
never less than two and half feet is allow
ed between each bed, for this reason. In
the sleeping apartments Of royalty and
nobility single beds are everywhere
the rule, aud nowhere the exception. The
Emperor of Germany sleeps upon q narrow
bed and hard mattress. The single bed
covering is q wad1ed silk quilt. The
Emperor and Empress Of Austria lsks their
royal slumbers on similar beds, with the
same description of eoverlet. One of the
principal advantages of these narrow beds
is that the mattresses are more easily aired.
Even the poorest housewives in Germany
recognize the fact that bedding requires
daily airing, and on pleasant dag in win
ter, aud nearly every day in summer, one
may see stretched out of the court yard
window for an entire half day the feather
beds and Coverings so dear 10 the heart Of a
German frau.-Gdtary.

TEse zransitOrv OK,

Day by day the number Of oxen seen at
tsChed to vehicles on the streets, "grow
gradually small and beautifully less" an d
in few days those patient beasts will have
departed for their country homes from
which they were brought TO help US out of
the horse dilemma, and soon it will be as
strange sight to see an OK team upon our
streets as IL was ten days ago.
Does the country al large appreciate the
service which has been rendered by these
tIusty, plodding aDimalsP At the first sp-
pearauce of the horse disease in Eastern
cities, oxen were brought in from the rural
districts by the hundreds, They vera at
tsched to wagons, to carts, to bUggies, to
hesrses-tO everything aud anything-f0r
which horses had been the propelling
power before the epiZootic crossed the Cana
dian border. as the disease travelled South
ward aud Westward, oxen were cali
ed for with an ever-increasiug de
mand. The fears which agitated
the pu bic mind lest the commercial inter-
ests o f the county would be seriously af-
fected by the spreading distemper,
have been allayed by the substitution of OK
power for horse power, and business has
Oeen carried on with but little, or no Sc
rious interruption.
In this City, our horned servants have
performed their duties we'll. They have re-
CURED bat little feed, and have worked
early and late in Transporting all kinds of
freight to and from the railroad depots; in
hauling coal and wood, etc. Now that they
are about to return to the places from
whence they came, it is perfectly rignt and
proper that those whom they have so great
Iy benefited, should express their gratitude
for ssrvi. es rendered in the hour OF need.

AKINaLY PRANK.

4 very characteristic snecd0te is relate1
of Charles XIV, late King Of Sweden. AS
is known, he treated all rules Of etiquette
with the utmost levity, and was never hap
pier than when he could pass himself OF as
some other person. His favorite place OF
residence was his castle, called Ulgiksdsie,
situated in the environs CT Stockholm.
Here be passed his summers, and not I'M
frequently part Of the winter. One day
alone, and dressed ia simple summer COS
tune, he took walk in his park, which
was always opened to visitors. Here
be encountered a family Of strangers
who, not recognizing the King,
walked up to him and asked if it were per-
mitted to visit the castle. "Certainly," re-
piled the King, "be SO good as to follow
me-" And be conducted them from hal TO
ball, explaining everything In manner to
do credit to the most volable ciceT0ne. The
strangers were intelligent, and pleased the
King, who pleased them in his turn. At
the moment OF separation, they begged bin
to tell them in what manner shey could
show their gratitude. 81 like photographs
very much," said the King. "Lst rs change
portraits" They agreed TO this, and in he
evening, when the strangers returned to
their hotel, they found large Photographic
portrait awaiting them, a. the foot Of which
was written the words, ''Fr0m Charles XIV.
King Of Saeden."

FELONIOUs GYPSEES.
Bold Attempt to Steal Child from its
Home.

Only last week Memphis had a womsn
who had such fondness for other peoples
children that she often would follow q
mother to steal her offspring. 1t seems that
her conduct has induced troupe OF gypsies
to visit Memphis and srousing a spirit of
jealousy in their wild breasts caused them
to practice old tricks which are said to
be characteristic of these eXiled wanderers
from Hindostan. The Memphis Appeal
Nov. p, says:
"At the hour of twelve, when the chill
dren attending the St. Msry's school, on
Poplar street, were retiring for lunch, one
of them, little Mamie Crockett, remained In
the yard by herself. 1t was only mo-
ment, as she thought, when person with
q string of beads round her swarthy neck,
with big black eyes and long black hair
rushed into the yard, and grabbing her with
two Drawny claws, chucked her head up
under an odorOus armpit, and placing the
big dexter mauleT' over her mouth, and
covering her up with shawl, marched out
and away down Poplar street with rapid
and gigantic strides. The little girl was
nearly choked and suffocated, and could
not scream out even, so tight
was the hand clssped over her
mouth. The gypsy turned off Poplar
street at Berton's corner, and on Adams
street. The course she then took was out
Adams to Brinkley avenue, from thence to
Court street, right in the neighborhood of
the child's home. The gypSey was making
in toward the city again, and the little ones
heart was sinking within her, for she could
sac her home from under the folds Of the
shawl that was thrown over her head. In
passing the grocery st the corner she in
stnctively feiG that if she didn't get free
then, she never would, 50 she bi the hand
that was across her mouth SO severely the
gypsy was induced to drop the child and
continue on her journey alone. Little
Mamie, only seven years old, ran to her
house, thinking at every step that the ter
rible woman was after her. She feared to
stop in front of the open gate, but rushed
round to the back Of the house, and got in
through hole in the fence. She fell sense
less the moment she felt safe, and was fund
10 that condition by her mother. Harry
Cranmer arrested "yallar" woman later.
ia the evening, whom he suspects of doing
the kidnapping" Whether the witch be-
longs to the congregation that went down
the river on the John Kilgour, or belongs
to camp of gyPsies that are out on the
Pigeon Roost road, is not known. The
blood was drawn fcom her wicked hand by
the little girl 10 her desperate attempt to get
free,
