Beds I'm the Russian Empire.

Not until recently have the iahab-
itants of Russia known the use OF beds,
excepting in the case of the luxurious
patricians who were able TO purchase
them. The peasants slept on the large
bake ovens TO be found in nearly every
house. while the soldiers were provided
with a sort Of cot without bedding
The middle classes and the students,
on the other hand, coEtented them
selve. with wrapping blanket bout
them and lying down near rather prim-
itive-looking stoves Not long ago beds
were introduced into the boarding
schools which abound in that empire,
and now the use of beds has become
rather general. AS is usual in this & D.
solute monarchy. the introduction of
these articles of comfort had TO be
brought bout by special edict from
the car of all the Russians. and as
ma tier of course the servile sehoolbovs
and others. who have been allowed 20
use them by royal behest. naturally
look upon his highness as great ben
efactor. They might well do SO. for
never before have the ba bies even
known the existence of cradles, cribs
or cots--House Furnishing Review
