How Our Forefathers Slept.
In tho earliest times the whole
family slept la the common ha'.L
The first Improvement was the erec
tion of the solar or upper chamber.
1 h s w as abovo the hall, or a portioD
Df it. or over the kitchen and buttery
attachf d to tho halL The arrange
ment may still bo observed In many
:f the old colleges of Oxford ant
Cambridge.
Tho solar was first the sleeping
room of the lo d and lady, though
aiierwards it served not only for thl?
purpo.e,' b .t also as an ante-chambet
to the dormitory of the daughters and
maid servants. The men f f the
household still s'ept in tho hall be
low; later on, bed recesses were con
trived in tho wall, as one may find in
Northumberland at tho present day.
The bed was as a rule, eiccpt fur
the ladies of the house, merely a bag
stuffed with straw. A sheet wrapped
round tho body formed tho only
nighidre.-.s. But there were also pil
ows, blankets, and coverlet3.
The early English bed was quite as
luxurious as any that followed after,
until the invention of the spring mat
tress gave a new and hitherto un
hoped for Joy to the hours of night.
The second step in advance was the
ladies' bower, a room or suitof rooms
i-. t apart for tho ladles of the bouse
n 1 their women.
For the first time, as soon as thli
room was added, the women could
loll w their own avocations of eia
brolderv, spinning, and l eedle work
of all kinds apart from the rough
ind noisy talk of the men.
Probably the only woman who is of
ficially commissioned to represent a
f .roigu government at the World's
Fair is aiis .Margaret Avindeyer,
diughter of Sir William Windeyer,

DRESS OF THE NINETEENTH
CENTUKY.
Ardern Holt
White was much in vogue in the
early days of tho century, worn with
eolored "spencer. Xhey were short
walbted, and the junction of skirt and
bodice was hidden by a fold of the ma
terial much as it is worn now. Hussar
hats with high crowns, trimmed at the
side with a huge plume of feathers,
bad a bordering of white frills framing
the face, being, in foot, a cap, which
was then called a "oornette;'1 but the
curious part about it was that the frills
were continued from the top of the
cap to the front of the jacket which
tpened A'-shape, and so disap
peared. In 1817 horizontal stripes were in
troduced on dresses, and were carried
ap to the knee, and there seemed to be
general rejoiciog that silk was mnoh
more to the fore. The large veils of
white and black lace, which were
brought down over the face only aa
jequired.were beginning to be a neces
sary accompaniment to every bonnet,
ind happy peoplo who now poseessj
them find they are almost large!
enongh to cover the front of the
'ress.
In a few years the modes begin tc
ipproach more nearly to our modern
notions. Wreathes are worn in the
cvenicg, short dresses and longer
bodiocs, which, as a rule, took tbS
form of corselets, of some colored,
t-atin with white alceves, and with
trimmings to tho upper portion of the
bodice. A eood deal ox attention was
bestowed on the trimmings at the edge
of the skirt, whioh consisted mostly ol
cross-cut pieces of material, full, and
caught down at intervals with bows
which were surmounted by bouquet.
A dress of white net over white satin
Lad a blur bodice, turquoise ornaments,
and corn flowers. The favorite colors
were pink, tea, pearl grey, sky blue,
jonquil, and vermillion. Turbans were
made of metallic gauze, ornamented
with silver, when it rejoiced in the
name of the "Waves of Factaloa"; in
gold it was called the "'ands of Fao
lalat." For driving, the ontloor garment
t-ere in themselves a dress, semi-t-
tiDg, made with pelerine capes, and
elaborately trimmed down the front.
The hats were then called a la Marie
Stuart, bnt looking at them, I should
consider them to be a bonnet worn
over a frilled cap, and exceedingly
wide in front. Those who crit.ciaed
fashion then had a good deal to say on
the undue length of the waist, but, in
truth, we should consider them short
low.
Egyptian taste prevailed in orna
ment, and the hair was plaited, to
whioh there were many objection.
The bun that we are trying to discard
had a prototype in those times. It was
garlanded with roses for evening wenr,
and bordered with jewels; but it was
also supplemented by a hearse-like
plume of feathers in front, which would
crush any ordinary matron in onr day.
Turbans were worn by elderly wo
men. These were expensive articles of
dress, and were made of gossamer ma
terials in bright colorings, forming the
foundation for a liberal display of
jewels.
Another favorite form of trimming
was a couple of rows of bias bands ol
stuff drawn through the incisions is
the skirt, forming a series of puffings.
There was no room for pockets any
where, and everybody carried a reti
cnle, made to accord with the dress.
Sometimes the gowns were open at the
neck, acd were filled in by a double
cross-cut handkerchief of gossamer
net, very softening to the appearance
of the neck, and a fashion which old
'jiea continued for many years.
These bands were frequently caught
down with roses, made of white satin,
as they are ofteu now used for the base
of feathers ia millinery. Above thii
there wore plumes arranged in semi
oircnlar fashion.
A Court dress worn at this period has
;he petuco.it f white satin, trimmed
with peach-colored satin, matching the
train, which is bordered at the base in
the same way. A diamond buckle
fastens the waistband of the short
bodice, and tho peach satin train ia
evidently shorter than we wear them
now. ISut it is to tho headdress that I
wonl.i call your attention. It consists
of dozens of plumes encircling the
head like an aureola, and shows what
wo niay come to, if we once begin to
indulge in a superabundance of feath
ers. The then chroniclers of fashion
peidc in admiring terms of the new
Uourt hoop, but I see no traco of it tr
tnia arena
j?anstable straw was reckoned pecn
iimly "gentetl," according to tiie
phraseology of thoa days, and speuj
cers and pelisses were worn out of
doors, and cream color (then called
Uibelle"), primrose, and royal blue
were the colors ot the year. Kainbow
tints are in fashion now, bnt we have
not as yet patronized a rainbow rose, a
novelty then brougut from larn;
every leaf represented the brilliant
colors of tho rainbow. Spiral flowers,
standing erect, as they aro at present
worn, were employed with broad rib
bons. Two large flowers on separate
stalks were introduced on the summit
of the hats. Kanunoulus and iris were
the favorite flowers, and sprigs of Ulaj.
White gowns were embroidered with
bloebelhi and other natural-colored
blooms. Gaiters made of grey oloth
with mother-of-pearl buttons accom
panied half boots of light grey kid.
White parasols had painted flora
borders, and a nosegay was carried ia
the hand by everybody; not a large
one, bnt just a handful of roBes, vio
lets, or heartsease. We are usiDg
straw in many enrious fashions, but
we bave not yet come to straw feathers,
although they were the mode at the
beginning of this century.
The hair at this period was dressed
in curls on either side of the face, and
from 1819, when the waist started im
mediately below the bust, the bonnets
increased in size, and the skirts also,
the waist by degrees lengthening; but
it was not till 1823 that the dresses
widened out at the feet, after the man.
ner that we are beginning to favoi
now,
Perhaps some of yon have by you
.hose jewelled coronet combs, which
were worn at the back of the head, in
front of the boas of hair that were con
sidered so beooming in those days.
AVe read from a Paris correspondent
of a coiffure a la cerise intermixed
with ears of corn; and in e very-day life
full curls were worn over each temple
and forehead, the bats being put on very
far back. It was difiloult then, as it is
difficult now, to bring to the mind's
eye the veritable articles of dress as we
see them, but the accounts given then
of the black velvet hats, with upstand
ing plumes, would apply almost equal
ly to those of to-day, The fans were
ul infinitesimal size so small, indeed,
that they oould be of no use, and were
limply ornamental.
I raut endeavor to bring beiore
you a walking dress of because
of its originality. It is really a low
bodice with long sleeves, but filled in
to the nook. Tho material is lavender
colored gros de Naples, and it is bor
dered at the foot w itb what was then
called a cork-screw rouleau made of
satin. It has a tohn a la Henrielte,
with a double frill of Vandyke lace,
that was worn beneath the bodice.
The cap, still called a oornette, was
made of Mechlin lace, trimmed with
roses, and the ornaments were corne
lian. A whits cashmere shawl hance
on the arm. These were in the very
height of fashion and showed superb
border; of variegated colors.

gwrded a ReUtlM.
From the earliest times mythology
las usurped the iluce of veritable
history la tha popular mind. All na
tions had their
it 'ds and heroes,
and In moro mod
t rn times the popu
lar love of giants
ant) supernatural
beings led many
countrlo3, that
should have known
better, to provide
gigantic figures foi
the grand fete days
cf the people..
Prominent among
the giants of real
o3 ad legendary his
tory are Gog and Magog, whose
itatues ad -rn the old Guildhall of
London. One legend runs that the
330 daughters of the Emperor Dio
clcslan killed their husbands, and
being put In a vestol provisioned fof
six months, weie sent to sea lo
punishment for their crimes and
drifted to Biltaln. Hero tho Evil
One created visionary husbands foi
them and they y ave existence to a
race of horrible giants. Subsequent
to the fall cf Troy a man named
Urutus visited Britain and with all
hu followers, the Trojans, entered
into war with the glaut Albion, who
ruled over the country. The Trojans
eventually were successful; Albion,
was slain and bis brothers, Magog
and Gog, were taken to the site of,
the present city of London. Hero
Brutus built a castle and the giants,
Magog and Gog, wero chained at the
gates. AVben they died their effigies
were set up as they now appear in,
the GulldhalL Another legend Is
that after the defeat and death
if Albion only one brother,
Gcs-magog, survived and be was slain
by another giant, Corlncus, both of
whose figures are in the Guildhall
These giants were

and vast strength
and had for arms
ii go clubs "of

It Is hard to re
press a smile while
reading such de

scriptions, and difficult to lmaglnt
how rational beings could bave ever
regarded such legends as real, yet the
fact Is these giants were for a long
time believed In and their history
soberly recorded. The statues ot Ma
go? and Gog or ot Gog-magog and
Corlneus used to be carried through
the streets of London on great occa
sions, being drawd in two gorgeous
chariots allotted tpcra for the pur
pose. These statues were twice de.
stroyed, but were replaced SDd now

Fooling the Snakes.
A chicken richer living near Mil
Ion, Wash., was brought to the v5rgb
of ruin by great quantities of snakes
that migrated to his neighborhood
and swallowed his eggs and his young
chickens. He tried many plans de
signed to disperse the reptiles and
save his stock and fortune, but una
valllngly. A happy thought struck
him two or three weeks ago, and be
bought a big lot of porcelain nest
eggs and scattered them promlscu
ously over bis premises. The snake
were marrelously fooled and bave
been swallowing them with aridity
and with fatal results ever since. It
Is assumed they die ot Indigestion,
'bough It may be of chagrin.
The Treasury Taulls of the United
States now contain about $175,000,000
ox silver, lnoluding bars, dollars and
subsidiary coin.

INDEPENDENT WOMEN.
Not ao very long long ago the Inde
pendent woman used to be "talked
about" Her independence attracted at
tention, created alarm, stirred the so
ciety in whiob she moved to its depths.
She was Independent sometimes at the
expense of her character, and had
to endure the sneer of scandal,
the jeer of injustice, the blight
ing jibe or venom, mo sorrow
sometimes of mistaken pi ty. She
had to assert, not merely to be, to bat
ter at the doors instead of quietly
opening them, to trample, when she
only desirod to be allowed to tread. In
the old days a dog's space of life al
most ago to be independent required
an immense amount of character, an
energy almost blatant, a strife not grace
ful or quite womanly, perhaps, a virility
exhausting itself in violent and aggres
sive action. The independent woman
had to be the pushing woman, the self
assertive woman, the woman who cried
herself up and others down, like the
man who beats the drum on the booth
steps in the oouutry fair, and after
wards changes his clothes and becomes
the paiJ-for show inside. The inde
pendent woman ot old days was not
always, or evoa generally, attractive.
She had an air of clutching, and to
clutch even at one s rights is to appear
Tulgar and to lcok dreadful and undiir
nified. But the independent woman
of to-day is often a very different be
ing. She has a peculiar, frank charm,
a fresh healthiness, an honesty and a
dignity that frequently surround ner
with an atmosphere both refreshing
and invigorating. For she has won
her position fairly and fully. She is
recognized in-deiu of me-ely snubbed,
and so she ft els nt ease, and instead ot
being blatant is often oontent to be
bricht It is a mistake, made too
often, both by women and by men, to
fancy that independence and push are
one and the same thing. Independence
is the sensible following out of one's
own views; push is the vulgar endeavor
to imnrcss those views and more es
pecially their holder upon the unfor
tunate people round, i ne pusum? wo
men is quite one of the most odious
features in modern life. The sensibly
independent woman is one of the most
healthy and most pleusant. Independ
ence does not necessarily imply coc
oeit, but push, at least, implies the as
sumption of it, and the pnBhing wo?
man is a sort of society town-crier, in-Oi-ssantly
bawling her own merits, if
she writes a i-tory she goes about tell

She would emerge no doubt in hysterics,
but she would emerge a ilwout mem
ber ot society. But the independent
woman who is not wildly proud of
her independence, is often very refresh,
in?. If she is nnmarird sbo is
oftu a tbor ugh bael elor. She is not
afraid to walk alone, nor ceed she I e,
for she is thorough! v, and rightly,
oapable of .taking cure of herself. She
thinks less of eliqnr t'.e than of good
sense, and more ot morals than of man
ner. She has certain work to do in the
wot Id, nnd the a: cans to do it as well
as or better than a man would do his
work. S e lets tiothiurr stand in 1 er

knows what is wrong and avoids it.
She does not always rare what is
thought wrong and avoid that, for sue

She h too ualurnliy dignified to know

Catarrh of tho mM l'e rr is t ie
most frequent cause of oWuesi, Tie

the Eustachian turns 10 iu jp-""
If the attack ia acute, earajhe s pro
duced. This mar p s rfl in a short
time, bnt unless the pittent is properly
treated, a slight dullness of hearing
SSal-y remain-. Other attacks si nost
invariably follow, and the e fina y
lead to chronic catirrh of the m:ddlo
ear and obstinate deafness. In many
cases the catarrh gr dwiVy 1. Beets
the ear. and no pain w cxpsri
enced. Dullness of beam? and per
haps buzzing in the ears are the first
symptoms noticed. These slowly in
crease in severity, until at Isat convex--ration
can no longer be heard, an I the
roaring in the head" is exceedingly
anuoying.
As catarrh of the noso and throat s
the most frequent eanse ot this diffi
culty, it may be reaiilv inferredthat
if we can avoid "catching cold, we
shall do a great d;al toward preserv
ing our hearing To do this, we
should, in the first plaeo, take plenty
of fresh air. Thosi who remain a great
. - 4i. in a flo-iP over-
part VI mo , rj,
heated room most easily take cold, lo
add to the difficnltv, such persons are
apt to wrap themselves np too much,
and as a consequence, leeome sensi
tive to the least atmospheric change.
Sitting in wet clothes should always
be avoided. Little children are often
times improperly dressed, having
scarcely any covering on their legs,
while the bod v and upper extremities
are warmly clad. They ate led through
the streets in this way when the weather
is raw and cold. In consequence they
take cold, and often suffer from ear
ache. Passing from a room, when
warm and perspiricg, into cold, open
air, is a frequent cause of acute ca
tarrh. Also sitting in draughts, espec
ially when heated. Fathers who re
main in the water too lone, and who
dive frequently are apt to sufTer from
catarrh of the pharynx and ears.
Travelling men aro often troubled
with catarrh. This is mainly due to
the faot that in a car tbero are ttroug
draughts of air and a constantly chang
ing temperatnre We might enumer
ate many other causes of cold, but as
they are familiar to almost every one,
it is not necessary.
When, during an attack o: acute
catarrhal inflammation of the ear, the
iiillommatory proocBs runs so high that
1 us is formed in the tynopanum, we
have a much more serious disease. The
pnrulent deposit rapidly increases,
until at last the tympanio membrane
is ruptured, and the pns esonpes from
ti auditory canal. What is commonly
known as a "running from tne ear '
ilien exists. It may cease in a few
Iuts, or become chronic, and continue
fr years. Measles, small-pox, soarlet
t. ....r .nil n hnnni n . rumpli are f reauent
t ii-ses of this trouble; and when rhy-i-ioiuns

al vsts at such t;mes to consult a doe

Auiflcial flowers were at'ac hed to
1 1 rat-ches of trees by Nageli; some of
these were scented with essential oils;
t usee is were attracted to these in an
unmistakable manner, while others,
which he left nuoeuted were almost
neglected, says an interesting writer in
Chamber's Journal. Tho perfume ap
pears in genera) to proceed from the
honey, which constitute s the chief
attraction inducing insects to frequent
flowers. In tho anemone, poppy and
St. John's wort we have examples of
honeyless flowers which are, however,
sought by insects which feed npon
their pollen, of wbich they prodnee an
ezoess. The more attractions a flower
presents the better will be its ehanee
of cross-fertilization, and the greater
the likelihood of its offspring surviving
and spreading, lneonapicnons flowers,
on the other hand, are in danger of
being overlooked by insects. Accord
ingly, most small, obscurely. colored
dowers are either self-fertilized or are
adapted to have their pollen trans
ported by the wind. Wild-fertilized
flowers snch as the rye grass, nettle
and ash, have small flowers without
conspicuous coloring, honey or scent.
When we look at the flower as mere
ly a pbase in the development of the
fruit, and when we consider tbat its
end is served as soon as cross-fertili7a-tion
bss been accomplished, tho short
duration ot the blossom becomes in
telligible. Onoe the stigma has been
pbllenated, a flower seldom lasts any
lime. Gardeners are well aware of thi,
and take precautions to exclude bees
from their green-houses; otherwise, they
would find it impossible to keep their
Cowers in good condition tor any
ldngth of time. On the other hand it
is wonderful how long a flower may re
main fresh and bright if it has not
been visited. We have already noticed
this in the flowers of the mrrant when
protected by muslin. The fuchsia ia
another example. This plant when
