Chinese Beds.

There are two kinds of Chinese
beds, and both are arranged for a
complete shutting in by means Of
hanging curtains and tapestry. The
expensive kind is like a sort of cage,
having fiat wooden roof, just the
size of the bed proper, supported at
a height of about eight feet from the
floor on four corner posts and two in
termediate ones. Then there is a
sort of frieze or entablature work
running around horizontally, above
and below, so that when you are in
bed you are safely penned in a sort
of cage, and cannot possibly tumble
out. The carving Of these beds is
sometimes very rich, and they cost
much; but the ordinary and cheaper
kind is made of two frames of wood
shaped something like the skeleton
of an old.fashioned "settle" which
are stood up on the floor, facing each
other. A mattress is placed on the
projecting parts Of these frames, and
a couple of slight sticks across the
top; then curtains and hangings shut
all in, and make it look as pretty as
the taste and money of the owner are
able. Inside, there is cotton quilt
laid on the mattress frame. The oc
cupant of the bed lies on this, hav
ing little roll of stuff for the heac
and for the covering a very thick
cotton quilt.
