The BEDS OF NTIQUITYS bout
the earliest data that we have concel H.
ing beds are of Egyptian origin. and
they are very slight. Sir Gardiner
Wilkinson thinks that the Egyptians
usually slept on their dav couches.
which were long and straight some
times with back, sometimes with
carving of the heads and feet of animals
at the ends, made OF bronze. of slabas-
ter, of gold and ivory, Of inlaId wood,
and richly cushioned. Where these
we're not in use, mats replaced them,
or low pallets made of palm boughs,
with a wooden pillow followed out for
the head. What Egypt had, the AS

improved upon other countries no
tions; and the Greek couch, Judging
from the bas reliefs on many vases,
were of great elegance The Romans,
although receiving SO many Of their
customs and 50 much of their art from
Greece, had very simple beds until
after their Eastern conquests. Indeed
beds which. with their pillows, were
merely hollows in slab of stone, have
been found among Roman remains.
But from the period when their AsIatic
dominion incre ased, the Romans bor-
rowe0 fashions from the conquered
and they developed strong taste for
luxury, especially in the matter of
beds. Examples OF the Roman form
of bed were still preserved in the days
of Charlemagne. In the meantime, of
course, in the barbaric life of Nortlit RI
and Western Europe, these forms
generally being lost, it was an advance
in civilization when the bench became
the bed, and people were fastidous
enough at last to feel above sleeping
on bundles of straw OF heaps of skin
upon flags
