Our ancestors would have had small
respect for the modern single bed. We
all know their old four posters with
their ample room to spread, but these
were quite cramping In comparison to
some Of the really big beds Of the
world. The great carved oak bed OF
the Saracens inn, at Ware, England,
now a curiosity Of Ryehouse, at Hert-
fordshire. measures twelve feet square
and can hold four people comfortably.
But no one on record seems to have
wanted SO much night room as Og,

had an area Of 100 square feet and
was eighteen and three-quarter feet
long and eight feet wide.--London Sat

Levs Fer tha Beautiful.

Let us learn to love and appreciate
the beauty which we see around rs
every day. There are beautiful things
everywhere. Some OF Us see them:
some do not. Ii all depends on our
education. beautiful dover may
grow BY the wayside. One person may
pass 1t by and not even see It. Or be
may trample it under foot and call 1t
an ugly weed. Another may see the
same dover and as be looks upon it
marvel at ifs beauty and recognize the
handiwork OF God One OF these per-
sons has no love for the beautiful In
his soul-and the other has-that is the
difference. Some people will tell You
that it IS not practical to care for
beautiful things. but 1t really Is prac-
teal. because It helps to make life
sweeter and better You will find it
well worth cultivating. this love for
the beautiful. and when you once have
1t in your hearts you viii never be
willing to part with it-Maxwell's Tai
