GRACIOUS BED OF WARE.

 Persons Comfortably.

The great bed of Ware is famous not only for it's size but because of Shake speare' allusion to it in Twelfth Night. When Sir Toby Belch urges Aquichuk to send a challenge to his supposed rival he says: Put as many lies in a sheet as will lie In 1t, although the sheet were hig enough for the bed of Ware in Eng land" This enormous bed is 10 feet g inches square and feet 6 inches high. It is made of Spanish oak, elegantly carved, and is a wonderful specimen of antique furniture that for three centu- ries has beer the pride and glory of the Saracens Head at Ware. The top is solid canopy of beautifully carved wood made in one piece. At the base of each footpost. are boxes. It was the custom In old times for newly arrived guest who had never seen it before to drink toast to the bed in a can of beer. Twelve per sons have slept in 1t at one time and 1t is asserted in the old chronicles that twenty did so at pinch.
 When Elihu Burrett. the learned Amer ican blacksmith, went on his walking tour from London 10 sthe Lands End. he turned aside to see the great bed of Ware and might have slept in 1t, but didn {.

HOW s1oKINa HURTS BOYS.
Tsbul, ted Statement of Observations
 n . Public Institution.

In d late number of the School Journal tfcre are presented some interesting ob- servations of the effect of cigarette-smok- ing upon boys in public institutions. A public school of about 500 pupils was taken as an example, and in tiiis school 1t was found that the boys were very much Inf srior to the girls in every way. It was also found that a large majority of the boys were habituai cigarette smokers. An investigation was ordered to ascert ain exactly how far the smoking was to blame for the boys inefficieacy and low moral condition. The investigation ex- tea led over several months of close ob- servation uf twenty boys whom 1t was known did not use tobacco in any form and twenty boys known to be cigarette fiends." The non-smokers were drawn by lot The report represents the observa- tions of ten teachers The pupils inves- tisated were from the same rooms m the same schools. No guesswork was all lowed Time was taken to get at the facts of the case on twenty questions of in- quiry, hence the value of the report.
 The ages of the boys were from 10 to 17. The average age was little over A.. OI the twenty smokers twelve bad smoked more than a year and some of them several years. All twenty boys used cig- arettes, while some of them also used pipes and cigars occasionally. The fol- lowing table shows the line of investi- eation and also the results:

STAGE TRICK THAT FAILED.
Magician's Confederate Succumbs tc
 the Seductions of Ices.

As is well known. many of the tricks performed by conjurors upon the stage are successful in deceiving the audience only through the connivance and assist ance of confederates seated in the body of the hall. Carl Hertz. one of the best Of modern illusionists, tells a good story on himself. In Nashville. Tenn, Hertz the cooperation of a youth who was hanging around the stage door. Want to see the show?' asked the conjuror Yes, sir' Very well, I'll pass you in if you will do little thing to help me Take this marked dollar. put it in your left trousers pocket and when I cali for 1t from the stage come up on the plat form and hand it to me-" The delighted youth promised implicit obedience and was duly installed in seat near the front.
 It was late in the evening that Hertz proceed to the trick of which he had iaid the foundation. He saw that the boy was in his place and proceeded to mys- tify the people with a marked silver dol lar He palmed it, swallowed it. passed 1t through tables and bottles. fired 1t through a pistol into an orange and per formed other astonishing feats in his own ininiitable way. He threw the coin into the air. It vanished. 'There!" cried MT in his pocket. Come on the stage-you! He pointed to the boy, who slowly rose and scrambled awkwardly to the plat form, Nov" said the triumphant con- juror, give me that dollar piece out of your left trousers pocket" The boy, distressed, fished out handful of small coins and cried: i've only got 80 cents left; I've been out and had some oranges and ices!"

COLONY OF CHINESE JEWS.
Discovered After Centuries of Isola'

 Public Opinion.
 known that there was a colony of Jews at Kaifengfu, in an interior province Of China. An effort to establish communi- cation with them about f1fty years ago was thwarted by the Tai-ping rebellion. A similar attempt was made in 1900 by regularly organized committee or Jews at Shanghai and messages were inter changed through Chinese messengers, but the boxer rising brought this communica- ton to a premature end, although not until some members of the colony had actually been induced to visit shanghai. The visitors expressed themselves as anixous to estabnsh close relations With their co-religionists' and to take up the practices of their ancient religion.
 N E. D. Ezra, in the June Menorah (New York;, recounts what has been learned of the colony through messen- gers and through the colonists who vis- ited Shanghai. "As to whether any of them knew anything of their religion, they said that for long period before the Tai-pins rebellion they were gradu- ally declining and their religion was get ting forgotten, and at present they do not observe any of the ordinances of their religion, nor do they observe the idolat- rous practice of the heather, With re- gard to the number of Jews still remain ing, they said that quite number had gone out of Kalfcngfu on business and had thus been lost, but those that they know who are members of the seven clans in the colony do not number more than 40 adults. They are at present in such a deplorable condition that they have no leader, no synagogue, and no schools in which to educate their chil- dren. With regard to their synagogue they have been told by their fathers that once upon a time they had place of worship which was the heart of their community but for a considerable pe- riod the buildings have been completely destroyed. The ground on which the sym agogue was erected used to be in the name of their people but at the time of the Tai-ping rebellion the title deeds were lost It is now a water hole with stone standing alongside:s on this stone the names of Abraham. Moses, Adam, etc., are mentioned, with an account of their religion.
 They have few traditional commands that they still remember and are even trying to observe. They are under no circumstances allowed to use heather mu- sical instruments in marriage They are to take out sinews before preparing the eat pork. One man stated mat he remem- bered his father telling him that in the olden days when they entered their syn agogue they always took off their shoes. They never knew of the existence in any parts of the world of any Jews besides themselves Their first knowledge of their co-religionists was when they received the letter which the Shanghai Jews sent to them. They denied that any of their sect had embraced Buddhism or Moham- mechanism, but it Is true that the few who had left Kaifengfu have never been heard os and these they consider as lost.
