THE OLD TRUNDLE BED.
Once a Real Domestic Treasure, 1t Is
Now Mainly Memory.

Once heai DOMESTIC lFSdSuei -
Now Mainly a Memory.
There are still a few of us left
who remember the trundle bed
but for which it would have been
impossible to bring up the old fash
toned family of good proportions
Houses were small and families
were large in those days, and pro
viding beds was a problem So it
was solved by the trundle bed-a
low structure that rolled beneath
the regular" bed-and which was
trundled out at night and filled
with children. There was no more
inspiring picture than trundle bed
full of little pink children-and all
trundle beds were generally full OF
them.
But the disorder of the room
would run the modern housewife
crazy. Clothes were dumped IN
piles upon the floor. Shoes were
tossed into the corners. Stockings
were mixed up generally and to be
found all over the room, but some
way an hour or so after the morn
ing dressing everything disappear
ed, the trundle bed was not in sight
and order came out of it all while
"mother" was busy with other
things than Strengthening up the
ROOM"
It was a feather bed of course
big and thick and soft. You sank
into it's very bosom. No danger of
a kid falling out; no more danger
than there would be of raisin fall
ing out of cake. For the children
fitted into the feather bed for all
the world like peas in a pod-a
nestlike formation holding the tiny
form. Besides, if you did fall out
of a trundle bed you didn't have
far to fall, only an inch or two, for
be it remembered the trundle bed
was built low SO it would roll I'M
der another bed.
But it was a glorious invention!
A billowy, downy couch fit for the
angels-and angels slept in them.
The temperature didn't matter. In
memory they were always comfort
able. Warm in winter and cool in
summer-they must have been
sweet and clean and fresh always.
That's the way we recall them, any
way, SO it is the way they must have
been. The night had no terrors
after one was tucked away in a
| trundle bed, and sleep came quick
ly to "knit up the raveled sleeve OF
| care" The morning came instant
ly, it seemed, but you were refresh
ed and ready for the rough and
| tumble work or play that beckoned
to you.-Dayton News.

Gypsies and Death.

The custom Of placing the prop
erty of the dead in their graves has
always been followed by the true
Romany gypsies. It is due to some
old tradition Of i'll luck attending
the possession Of an article whose
former owner, is gone, and much
valuable property is buried in this
belief. There is also sentiment
among gypsies against the posses,
sion of anything that has belonged
to a dead person, because it serves
to remind the living of the depart
ed and inspire in them dread OF
death. The custom of burying their
property with gypsy dead dates
from the earliest history OF the
Romany tribes.
