A Historic Bed.

In the corporation records of Leicester,
there is still preserved a story curiously
illustrative of the di rkness and pre-
caution of Richards character. Among
his camp baggage it was his custom to
carry a cumbersome wooden bcdstead,
which he averred was the only couch he
could sleep on but in which he contrived
TO have a secret receptacle for treasure,
So that it was concealed under weight
Of timber. The owner Of the house after
ward discovering the hoard, became
suddenly rich without any visible cause
He bought land, and at length became
Mayor of Leicester.
Many years afterward his widow, who
had been left in great aillucncc. was
assassinated by her servant. who had been
privy to the affair ; and at the trial Of this
culprit and her accomplices the whole
transaction came to light. Concerning
this bed. public print of 1880. states
that, "about half century since, the
relict was purchased by furniture broker
of Leicester, who slept in it for many
years, and showed it to the curious" It
continues in as good condition apparently
as when used by King Richard, being
formed of oak, and having high polish.
The daughter of the broker having
married one Babbington, Of Ruthley.
near Leicester. the bedstcad was removed
to BabbingtOn's house, where it is still
preserved.

The Chinese Cuisine.

The sharks fin is delicacy which is
rarely omitted from the menu of Chi
nese feast. 1t is one of the great clas-
sic dishes forming the pieces de re-
sistance of an official banquet, and is
eaten either i'll the form of Il Joint, gar
nished with crabs. or served up in small
pieces in cups placed before each guest.
The consumption Of ruts, though it
seems To- be somewhat on the decline. is
the cause of very important traffic in
the principal towns of certain districts.
and especially in a street in Canton
called Hing-Loung-Kai. Here these
animals may he seen in enormous multi
tudes hanging up in the shop windows
among chickens and ducks and geese
They are for the most part dried and
,,alted. and when in that state are es-
tecmed a sovereign recipe for those
whose hair is getting thin.
Beside the dishes peculiar to the Ce
lestials alone, there are variety of diff
ferences i'll their mode of eating and
cooking food unknown to our cuisine,
Hams, for instance, are kept for year,
or even two wears, buried i'll heaps Of
sawdust, which imparts to them taste
of wood much appreciated by the gour-
NETS. Broad beans are fermcnted, and,
after being mixed with salt, form very
favorite sance eaten with all sorts of
viands. Finally, the habit of eating
"rotten eggs" which sounds SO strange
to European ears. is explained by show
ing that the so-called rotten egg is only
ducks egg preserved for a long time in
an air-tight envelope made Of ashes,
chalk, tca-leaves, and number of other
strange substances, until the yelk turns
first to green color, and then to fine
black, when it is considered fit to be
eaten.

The Directory Man.

A writer in Chicago says: II meet
the directory canvasser in my rounds,
and occasionally pluck a few interesting
secrets out of him. A weary, wayworn
wanderer he is at best, but this year he
is full Of unspeakable trouble. It's
tough work, he remarked swabbing the
perspiration from his brow, tough,
tough work to get people to give up.
Give up what?' 1 said. Give up any
thing said he; why, do you know there
are whole rows Of good families that try
in every way to dodge away from us, and
when they can't dodge us they go to the
company and almost 60 down on their
knees to have their addresses left out.
What's the object?' quoth /. 'Blest if
know, said he. but 1 can tell you have
just been offered, right here on Ohio
street, by lady, $40 bill to keep her
husbands address out of the directory.
Maybe the husbands in debt, or they
afraid Of their granger cousins swarming
in upon them at the conventions. Don't
know, of course, all the reasons, but ]
know it's like drawing eye-teeth to get a
name out Of 'em. They make me feel
like personal tax man. I've got to fish
up neighbors all the time, and poke into
family secrets like detective"

Dainty Eaters.

A menagerie elephant eats about one
hundred pounds of the best timothy hay
every ytwenty -fourho Giraifes camels,
zebras and deer are also hay-eating ami
mails, but are not so particular in reference
to its quality as the elephant Sea-lions
have to be fed on fish, usually fresh and
salt mackerel, each animal taking twelve
to fifteen each meal twice day, and con-
suming altogether one hundred pounds
Of fish daily. Next in point of delicate
eaters come the polar bears, whose regular
diet is bread soaked in milk, with fish now
and then for change. The black bears
are also given bread, one hundred pounds
being used daily. Vegetables of almost
every sort are fed literally to the different
animals - cabbage, potatoes, carrots.
onions and turnips. The elephants are
great cabbage eaters, In addition to their
standard diet, hay. The gilaffes. singular
ly enough, are great onion eaters, while
the deer and goats, and animals Of the
COW species, eat carrots and turnips and
potatoes. Bran and oats and corn are
also literally distributed once or
twice week-among the hay eating
animals. But the orang-outang is the
most dainty feeder of all, living on bread
and honey, beef and potatoes-a diet
alarmingly like that Of humanity.

How to Write for the Papers.

The Boston Post hits the nail on the
head when it says: Communications
should he brief, and there are several
reasons for this. In the first place,
newspaper space is valuable. The mo-
dern newspaper is never troubled with
the Old-time complaint of needing
something to fill up" The editors
scalpel is constantly reeking from the
slaughter of live news matter and inter-
esting miscellany. Short communica.
tons are much more likely to find read
crs than long ones are, and unless they
are to he read it is much better not to
publish them. More contributions can
i've represented where the articles are
short than when they are long, and one
man has rs strong claim upon the col
umns as another, provided he furnishes
as interesting matter. A short article is
usually more pithy and pointed than a
long one. A subject should have many
ramifications to demand more than half
a column i'll a newspaper, while all that
can he saved even from that limit up to
a certain point is apt to be an improve
ment. That prince of journalists, the
late Samuel BOwles, once apologized for
a long editorial, and gave as his excuse
lack of time to write short one. He
expressed an important truth in his
usual epigrammatlc way

A COIN is in itself history. There
was once lost city which owes it's place
to coin. For over a thousand years no
one knew where Pandosia was. History
told us that Mt Pandosia King Pyrrhus
collected those forces with which he
overran Italy, and that he established a
mint there but no one could put their
finger on Pandosia. Eight years ago a
coin came under the sharp eyes Of
numismatist. There were the letters
Pandosia inscribed on it, but, what was
better, there was an emblem, indicative
Of a well-known river, the Crathis Then
everything was revealed with the same
certainty as if the piece of money had
been an atlas, and Pandosia, the myth
cal city, was at once given its proper
position in BruttiUm. Now, a coin may
be valuable for artistic merit, but when
it elucidates doubtful point in history
or geography it's worth is very much en-
hanced. This silver coin, which did not
weigh more than a quarter of dollar,
because it cleared up the mystery Of
Pandosia, was worth to the British
Museum 1900. the price they paid
