Took Many Years to
Produce Modern Bed

Included in the worlds long list of
human benefactors is the unknown
man who first invented beds. The

tian paintings. Ages ago the Egyp
tians either slept on their day couches
which were long and straight, some
times possessing a back made OF
bronze, alabaster, gold, or ivory, ana
richly cushioned, or they reposed on
low pallets made of palm boughs, with
wooden pillows followed out for the
head.
A recent writer reminds us that the
evolution Of beds in England stretches
over a period of 700 years. Through
out the Thirteenth century even kings
beds consisted very largely of straw
In later medieval times people all
but sat up in their beds, so high at
the upper end were the long mat
tresses lifted on piles of cushions
After the Twelfth century beds were
occasionally made of bronze and 9th
er metals, but more often of wood
carved and encrusted with ornament
Narrow, at first, they gradually in
creased in size until they reached
width of four yards. In such hug
beds, we are told, parents, children
and sometimes dogs. were wont to
take their nights rest"

Bread of Guefersloh
Boosted BY Bismarck

Guetersloh was town of some
1900 inhabitants some years ago,

young lieutenant took up his quarters
there. This lieutenant came from
Pomerania, where they also make
black bread of fine quality, but he
liked the peculiar flavor of the West
phalia article. His name was Bis
marck.
In the year 1870 Bismarck was
again travelling through Guetersloh.

was with him, and when the train
stopped the prime minister called out
genially to the crowd that had come
to meet them:

As a number of reporters were pres

fortune of the Guetersloh black bread
was made and it speedily became the
fashion all over Germany. The craze
for Westphalian pumpernickel spread
far and wide. cunningly furthered by
the bakers. who now baked for ex-
port only small one-pOund leaves, for
the purpose of making it look more
like a delicatessen" as they say.

tribes. which then lived in camps
which they moved rom place to

attacks by rowing bands of robbers
from the north. They divided their
nights into convenient watches of
about four hours each. II appears
that they adopted the custom from
