HOW WE SLEEP.

Various districts of even one coun.
y,rem srks an English house furnish.
er, exhibit marked peculiarities In de-
manding special sized articles. Take,
for instance. the matter of beds, which,
one would naturally suppose, would be
standard throughout the world over.
In northern England the stock size
of spring mattresses Is only five feet
nine inches, while in the Newcastle
district it is elk feet, and in London
five feet eleven inches. The. west of
England and Ireland, however, REQUIRE
six feet two inches, and many of the
mattresses made for export to South
America are at least eight feet six In
ches long.
In the matter of width there is also Q
vide difference to be observed. In
Scotland, four feet Ia considered the
width of q standard double bed, while
In Newcastle three feet nine inches is
sufficient for two people. In Ireland
tbs rule 10 four feet elk inches. The
South American mattresses before re-.
ferred to are often eight feet wide.

dishes were cleaned in the same way,

the wives Of less distinguished men have
done ever since. Probably, too, she
found that her best pieces Of tableware
