HOW TO MAKE A BED
Process BY Which Henry

Prepared for Royal
Slumber.
SIXTEENTH CENTURY METHODS

SIXTEENTH CENTURY METHODS

mere are many women and maids who
think they know the art of making q
bed a %restfnl, ease-giving, good dream
producing bed; but should they compar
their efforts With the performance gone
through with making a bed in the Six
teenth century, they will thank the fates
no such duties are included in the cata-
logue OF the h~ousekeeper's work, says the
Philadelphia Press.
A bed with It's coverings was a fine
and usual thing to bequeath in those
days. No wonder. l should like to have
one myself.
This is the chronicle of making Henry
the Seventies bed.J
First, a yeoman or a groom of the
stuffs Of the wardrobe must bring in the
stuffs and the curtains be drawn and a
gentleman usher must hold the curtains
together, the sid curtains and the foot
curtains; then must two squires of the
body stand at the beds head, one on
either side, and two yeomen of the crown
at the beds foot. and all the stuff be laid
at the BEDS feet on a carpet before the
yeomen of the stuff: then a yeoman Of
the crown or Of the chamber to leap upon
the bed and roll him up and down and
assay the litter; then yeoman
to lay dow the canvas again:
then lay on the feather bed
and beat it well and make it even
and smooth; then shall a yeoman of the
stuff take the fustian and take the assay
and cast it upon the bed; then shall
squires for the body lay hand thereon and
yeomen and lay it straight upon the bed
without wrinkles, and the sheet in the
same wise; then take both the sheets
and fustian by the border and put them
in under the feather bed at both sides
and at the feet also; then lay or the
other sheet n the fsqutfess for the body
to take the sheet and gather 1T round
and go to the beds head. strike 9 down the
bed till they come down twice orcthrice
and shake the sheet at the beds feet and
lay it fair n broad on the bed; then lay
on the other stuff of fustian above, then
take a pair or two of martens and lay
and lay above and then lay o. the mar
tens; then roll down the bed the space
of an ell; then let the woman take the
pillows and beat them up to the squires
for the body and let them lay them on
the bed as it pleased the Kings grace;
then take a head sheet of ermine and lay
it above; then take the other side of the
head sheet of regnes and lay it over that;
then the squires for the body to lay the
bed again on top the pillows. Then take
and over, every side; then the usher knits
the curtains together and a squire for
the body to cast holy water upon the
bed"
It is satisfying. to know that after all
this work the various men Who performed
it are ordered to partake of bread, ale
and wine. And they are to have all they
want of each.

THE DAY ROBBERY.
CIarke,s Second Trial for P~lunderfng
the Old Boatman Commenced

the Ola BOatfDan Onlm need
1t was eleven o'clock this morning
when the General Sessions Court got
ready to try Joseph Clarke for breaking.
entering and larceny. and for felonious
assault. This is Clarke's second trial.
When he was tried before at the De-
cember term he and Martin Rudolph
were convicted and sent to State prison.
Clarke got a writ of error and secured
a new trial. Ex-Congressman John
Dunn is defending him. The case is the
celebrated Day robbery which was com
mitted on September 7, 1893. Robert R.
Day, a rugged old boatman, lived with
his aged wife on a deserted boat at Ber-
gen Point About dusk on September 7,
when the old couple were thinking about
retiring for the night, two men WHOM
Day recognized as Clarke and Martin
Rudolph broke into the boat. Rudolph
struck hin with a black jack and Clarke
probably ave come out on top but for
the fact that four other men jumped in
Clarke struck him with his fisf. When
they lgot him down on the floor they
bound him with a rope and one of them
forced him to give them the combination
of his safe, but they were unable to open
1t. Then they accused him of giving
them the wrong combination and threat
ened to kill him. Day begged them to
spare his life mi he would open the
safe. He opened it and they took $4OO. the
cid copies savings of a lifetime, and a
watch. Day positively identified Clarke
and Rudolph by the light of a lamp they
held for him when he was opening the
safe. He had known them for ten years,
he said, and could not be mistaken.
The old man told the story of the rob-
berry in a very dramatic manner. The
defense is that Day was mistaken in his
Identification and that after the robbery
Clarke and only identified Rudolph by

THE CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Why SO Many Are Suffering at This
Time and What They SHOULD dc.

,..,When the Weather is hot. you perspire.
Inc pores OF the snf- are opened, the
plood moves quickly through the veins
ana all impurities are thrown out of the
system. But when the weather Is cold,
me pores are closed; the blood becomes
properly and you feel weak and shiyery.
Most people feel chilly in winter for this
reason, and that is why colds and chilIs
are so prevalent. There is, however, one
way TO Keep from feeling these chilly sem
satlons and avoiding the dangers of win
;ler-tlme. Many people have fortunately
discovered this way and are giving others
the benefit of their experience.

These cases and thousands of other

u~neoualed. Nothing has ever compared
