cARPETs wgRE UNKNOWN.

How the Fourteenth Century Mansions
Were Furnished.
Carpets in the fourteenth century were
unknown 1uXuries, says Good Words.
but the fashion of strewing the apart
ments with rushes was being gradually
abandoned. Rushes were still used in
the retainers' hall, butt the better
rooms sweet-scented herbs and fragrant
twigs were usually employed.
In the fourteenth century windows
to admit light, but to exclude wind. The
walls also were frequently hung with
cloth or tapestry to protect the inmates
of the room from the many currents of
air that penetrated the strong but bad
ly built walls. We learn from various
ancient documents that it was the duty
of the serving men and pages to sweep
out the principal apartments, but as the
use of water is rarely mentioned, damp
and fragrant leaves and twigs must
have aided not only in collecting the
dust, but also toward refreshing the at
mosphere in such costantly closed
rooms, fresh air being only admitted
through the doors opening on to the
battlements or balconies.
From old inventories at Thurleigh
and elsewhere we ascertain how scant-
lily furnished were these ancient man
sions, although they seem to have been
abundantly supplied with fogons and
drinking cups in gold,' silver and finely
engraved pewter, besides an infinite
number of black jacks or cups made OF
leather.
