The Bed In Colonial Days.

Toward the close of the seventeenth century the bed increased in impor- tance. A list of the household fur nishings of Salem merchant, in 1890, included T great oaken bedd, truckle bedd of maple, 1 large sack bottom bedd, 6 Camblett bedd curtains, ? calicoe bedd curtains, blankett sheets, l paire silk bedd curtains" The settee, which was a link between the settle and the sofa, was sometimes used as bed. This piece of furniture was both of imported and domestic make. The back and seat were usual ly incased in turnkey work. With the exception of the arms and braces the entire frame was concealed. The con- struction of the colonial settee was identical with one type of the Renais- sance seat. From Italy 1t passed into France, and from France to England. Holland had no part in it's develop ment. From the Italian palace of the sixteenth century to the New England home of the seventeenth was a far away cry and yet, barring crude work manship, the colonial bench was a faithful copy of the Renaissance de sign. Tho Dutch settlers were unfa-

 to the boulevards.
 Meanwhile Francois had been ar
 rested on some trifling charge, and
 Avril still was in jail. The crimes in
 which they had been concerned were complete mysteries to the police, and 1t seemed that they would always re-
 main so, when Francois dropped a few words which made the police suspi- cious, and they drew from him the story
 of the attack upon the bank messen- ger. Avril's conscience became active about the same time, and he told of the Chardon murders. So it came to pass that the poet was arrested, and when he learned that the discovery
 was due to his accomplices, he made full confession his only object, he said, being to take the betrayers to the guillotine with him.
 The trial was famous one. The
 most celebrated people of France
 crowded to the courtroom to see the laughing Lacenaire, who was dressed
 like q prince. He laughed and jokeG tnfOuSnout the proceedings, ana urOVe
 Avril and Francois to a frenzy time
 and time again by his ridicule. Upon several occasions the guards had to hold them, they were so anxious to
 get at his throat.
 Francois was sentenced to life i'm
 prisonment, and Lacenaire and Avril to death. So one day in 1885 these two made their last appearance in public. Avril died first, and met his fate with brutish calmness. Lacenaire tried to appear jaunty and joyous, but it was with an effort. He was excited
 and nervous. Being man of imagina-
 ton, a poet and artist, death meant more to him than to an ordinary crimi- nal He fought for self-control with

the house, and went to an inn, where, over sundry bottles of cheap wine, Lacenaire planned larger and better crime.
 He rented an office and painted an assumed name on the door, thus cre- ating the impression that he was a business man. Then, by laying his plans carefully, he arranged that a bank messenger should call upon him in his office on certain day, the cho- sen day being one on which collections were sure to be large. It took great deal of skillful maneuvering to bring this about, but the details are not es- sential to this story.
 Everything being in readiness, Avril was so foolish as to be arrested, while trying to rescue lady friend from the police. So, at the eleventh hour, Lace naire had to go forth and seek another assistant. Reliable help of that kind Is hard to find when most needed, but after much trouble the poet accepted as his partner a gentleman named Francois, to whom homicide was fad It was said of him, in his own haunts, that he would kill a man for a sou, which was cheap enough, to be sure.
 Francois, however, should have known better than to eat oranges be- fore committing a crime. Or, if he couldn't get along without oranges, he should have realized that it was bad to drop the peel on the floor of busi- ness mans office.
 At the appointed hour the bank messenger arrived at the office with his little bag fairly bulging with money, and securities. Lacenaire. the smiling the fascinating. asked him to seat himself at the tabYe and examine certain papers. The messenger did so, and while the poet engaged him in

a mental courage that is more heroic than any physical courage. Badly scared, he tried to seem undaunted. But 1t was his fate to undergo an ex- traordinary ordeal that would break down any courage. The guillotine wouldn't work. Time and again the ax descended to within an inch or two of his neck and then stuck, and the executioner fumbled with 1t, raised 1t, and let 1t fall again. The tortured man twisted himself around so that he could look upward, and uttered an awful, agonized shriek that was never forgotten by those who heard it.
 But the shriek was cut in two. The ax worked at last.

conversation, and held his whole atten- ton, Francois came up behind, dag ger in hand, to stab him to the heart Francois, who had studied murder un- der the old masters, knew how to reach the heart from any angle or po- sition. This looked like an easy and sure job! But, maledictions on the orange peel! His foot slipped just as he delivered the blow. The messenger was stabbed, but not mortally, or even seriously. With a yell of terror he leaped for the door and reached 1t first, and ran down the stairs yelling murder. Francois also sped away, and Lacenaire followed close at the messengers heels. also yelling murder, thus diverting suspicion until he reached the street and was lost in the crowd.
 He felt that Paris was no place for him just then, so he departed for the provinces, where for a long time he lived opulently. He wrote much poetry at this time, and it was good poetry, which sold readily; but he was too wise to depend upon the muse for living, so, when not embalming things in song he devoted his genius to for gerry, and with great success. When he returned to Paris he was attired in

LAUGHING LACENAIRE.

On December IA, 1884 a gentleman of distinguished appearance walked briskly along a quiet street near the Chopinette barrier in Paris.
 This pedestrian who looked distin- guished even under the handicap of threadbare garments, was about thirty i've years old. He was rather small of stature, but carried himself proudly. His face was refined and intellectual he face of poet and dreamer. h. 1eed, at that hour all Paris was whis- ding and singing one of his songs, "The Fife and the Drum." He had the hands and hair of an artist, and the joyous carefree laugh of a boy. It was good thing to hear Lacenaire augh.
 Behind Lacenaire there walked a nan of vulgar appearance. His name was Avril. He was quite young, not more than twenty-two, and he had been so unfortunate as a criminal that Lacenaire was sorry for him, and was determined to give him a chance to do better work.
 Presently they stopped before a dwelling of prosperous appearance.
 This is the place. said Lacenaire. Do you remember my instructions quite clearly? Yes? Then allons vite p
 The poet rang the doorbell, and the door was opened by young man.
 ..Ah, my dear Chardon," cried Lace naire. i've have come to see your moth- er on a trif1e of business-the mere Eigning of paper
 ''We are greatly honored, M. Lace naire," replied Chardon. Mother, as you know, is an invalid, and is in her bed, but she can do what you ask"
 They stood face to face, Chardon and Lacenaire, and the latter gossiped gayly of one thing and another, while Avril stole quietly behind Chardon, and, having stationed himself prop erly, at wink from the poet he threw his arm around Chardon's neck and garroted him. Lacenaire drew dag ger then, and stabbed the victim sev- eral times, to make the job complete, then he went to the room of the in- valid mother and slew her with the weapon that killed the son.
 There should be 10000 francs here somewhere, according to my informa- tion," said Lacenaire. Lock the door, my friend, and we'll search till we find the money"
 Avril locked the door, and they searched and searched, but all they found was 500 francs. Lacenaire, whose sense of humor was abnormally developed, laughed until the tears rolled down his cheeks. It was this insensibility, displayed on many tragic and narrowing occasions, that made him one of the most famous criminals of modern times.
 ''Is the joke on us or on the Char dons?" he asked, as he wiped the joy ous tears from his face. He wanted to get away. Those dead people were getting on his nerves. So they left
