Beds OF ALL NATIONS.

The Japanese lie upon mating with
stiff, uncomfortable wooden neck rest.
THE ancient Greeks or Romans had
their bed supported on frames, but not
fat like ours.
THE Chinese use low bedsteads, often
deliberately carved, and supporting only
mats or coverlids.
THE Egyptians had couch of pc
euliar shape, more like an old-fashioned
easy chair with hollow back and seat.
In England the old four-posted bed
stead is the pride of the nation; but the
iron or brass bedstead is fast becoming
universal. The English beds are the
largest beds in the world.
In the tropics men sleep in hammocks
or upon mats of grass. The East In
dian unrolls his light portable charpoy,
or mattress, which, in the morning, is
again rolled together and carried away
by him.
"A REGULARITY of the German bed is
its shortness; BESIDES that it frequently
consists in sort of large down pillow
or upper mattress, which spreads over
the person and usually answers the pur-
pose of all other bed-clothing combined.

WISE AND WITTY.

IDoLATRY is disease of the imagina-
ton; idealism the aspiration of the
spirit.
A WOMAN must pity the man she
loves, even if she has to hurt him in
order to do SO consistently.
WHEN we say that q person has good
sense about most things we mean, of
course, that about most things he has
the good sense to agree with us.
THE fatal draw back to most reforms
is that their execution would be likely
to entail an injustice greater than the
wrong of the original conditions.
ONE need never regret the time spent
in dissecting the personal and private
affairs of his neighbors, for he may be
assured that they are doing as much for
him.
IT is chiefly at the mile posts of the
year, when the wayfarer pauscs with
the circle of his friends about him, that
he notes the faces missing, the new
ones grown familiar by their presence,
and the changes that closed in around
him while he journcyed.-Iudge.

At a recent corner stone laying IN
Newark the corner stone was swinging
in the grasp of powerful crane above
the hole left for it to fit in. Down in
this hole an Irishman was fussing
about with bed of mortar. Suddenly
portion OF the tackle slipped and
down came the stone with u run. 1t
lit on the Irishman's back, and every
body expected to see him fiattened out
thin as paper when the stone was lift
ed half minute later. No sooner was
the stone clear of the hole, though.
thnn the man sprang up like a jack-in-
the box. He was covered with mortar
from head TO foot and was coughing,
sncezing and splitting to get it out of
his nose and mouth. AS soon as he
could speak he addressed the men man
aging the crane: Here, now! Here
now!" he yelled. ''Oi can stand joke
as well as any mon, but any of yees

put on his coat and went away, per-
suaded the highly respectable assem-

Now Sheridan Preserved His Clever Say.
ing for Future Use.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan, who died
July Z. 1916, was celebrated for his wit
ty sayings. These were not always the
result Of inspiration, for he often
labored at them for hours. and when he
had polished them up to the required
brilliancy, stored them away for future
use. Moore, his biographer, tells this
story: "A curious instance Of the care
with which he treasured up the felici-
ties Of his wit appears in the use he
made Of one of, those epigrammatio
passages which the reader may remem-
Der among the memorandum for his
comedy OF Alterations and which, in
Its arst form ran thus: He certainly
has great deal Of fancy, and a very
good memory; but. with a preverse In.
gonuity. he employs these qualities as
NO other person does-for he employs
his fancy in his narratives, and keeps
his recollection for his wit-when he
makes his jokes you applaud the &C.
curacy of his memory, and It's only
when he states his facts that you ad-
miro the flights Of his imagination
After many efforts to express this
thought more concisely. and to reduce
the language. of it to that condensed
and elastic state in which it alone gives
force to the projectiles of wit, he kept
The passage by him for years, till he at
length found an opportunity Of turning
1t to account in reply to Mr.. Dundas,
IN the House Of Commons; when, with
the most extemporaneous air. he brought
1t forth in the following compact and
pointed form: The right honorable gen.
tlsman is indebted to his memory for
his jests. and to his Imagination for his
facts. '"-Chicago News.

ANCIENT VEGETATION.

.kaants Found In the Catacombs and
Monuments Of Egypt.
The National Museum of Egyptian
Antiquities at Dulak contains a very in
teresting collection of plants, which
have been found in the catacombs and
sepNchral monuments of the country.
Or. Sehweinfurth was the first to study
this ancient flora. which contains no
example Of a plant that does not grow
to-day in the Nile valley. Nor does the
most minute examination show the
least difference between the vegetation
that fourished fifty centuries ago and
that Of the present time. In some cases
the colors Of the flowers can DO clearly
distinguished, as, for instance, the pur-
pie larkspdr, the red poppy, the reddish
brown saffron i the blue lotus.
The leaves Z. Nc watermelon contain
grains of ehlorophyll perfectly visible in
the microscope All these were found
In great numbers In the burial places Of
the fifteenth dynasty, 5000 years b. c.
and in .tombs OF the same time some
ears of barley. In later monuments
were discovered mustard, fax, cucum-
bers, lentils, pine cones, juniper berries,
dates, hollyhocks, chrysanthemums,
figs, olives, onions and grapes. Around
the necks and upon the breasts of the
mummies of HOO B. C. were garlands of
cefery leaves and blue lotus flowers. In
regard to the various specimens OF grain
discovered, it may be added that no at.
tempt to make them grow has ever sue
ceeded, the plants having been subjected
to great heat at the time of the embalm
ing and burial, which, while 1t preserved
them. destroyed their terminating pow

is said to have been raised are due
simply to the fraudulent mixture of

An unfortunate young man was
sharply rebuked for inaccuracy of
speech while going up in a Madison av-
enue horse car day or two ago. He
had been talking iuterestedly with a
rather superior-looking young woman
on the subject of common acquaint-
ance. Finally he remarked:
Lets see He lost his wife, didn't
hep"
There was the frozen sweetness of
ice-cream in the young woman's smile
as she answered amiably:
''If you mean TO ask whether Mr..
Blanks wife died the answer is that
she did"
The silence was broken only by the
slight litter of the hearers until the
youth remarked:
