one of it's corners revealed bed when
the top was turned down-a somewhat
rough invention, from which our wooden
sofa bedstead has descended.
The furniture and general arrange
ment Of the room were generally of the
simplest kind; settees with stiff, high
backs, enc or two large tables of pine or
maple, a high, deep chest Of drawers,
containing the wearing apparel Of the
family, and a corner cupboard, in which

eighteenth century; sofas and sideboards
were not yet in use, nor were carpets.
rhe floor was sanded, the walls white
washed and the wide mantel of the open
fireplace was of wood. The windows
admitted light through small panes set
in leaden frames A few small pictures
painted on glass and looking glass with
a small carved border adorned the walls.
Weather people had damask covered
couches, instead of settees, and their
furniture was of oak or mahogany, but
in the same plain, stiff style. They used
china cups and saucers, delftware from
England, and massive silver walters,
bowls and tan%ards. Plated ware was
unknown, and those who could not
afford the real article were content to
use pewter plates aud dishes. Not a
few ate from wooden trenchers. Lamps
were scarcely known. Dipped candles
in brass candlesticks gave sufficient light
at night.

It appeals that many people who have
telephones in their houses or places o1
business, and use them frequently, find
their hearing bettered. The best testi.
mony, however, comes from the central
office: At each switchboard sits an
operator, generally a girl, who, from
morning till night, haggles with I'm.
reasonable. subscribers till her head
fairly rings with ''hello," "all right, u
Ego ahead" Now, her ear is drilled tc
catch the faintest sound. If an operator
were to take switchboard one day in
tho week, only, and do all the work re,
1uired on that day. the practice would
doubtless be detrimental, because il
would be exhaustive to both the muscu'
lar and nervous makeup of the ear
Systematic use Of the telephone seems te
develop the hearing above it's normal
acuteness. The difficulty which people
find in working the telephone comes
from inability to fix he attention OF
what IL heard
