Signor Arditi tells the following story
In his autobiography: During my first
long stay in America our company was
announced for one night, during a ter

son? 1t was as though we had sudden

compelled to come on the stage wear

Why do we no longer find in these
magazines the long essays that were
the backbone of the old style period
icals? Is it because there are nova
DAYS no men who like to and are able
to take their pens in hand and ramble
on and on aimlessly over hill and dale,
with many a leisurely pause and occa-
sional airy flights? Is it because the
editors can find no writers who are
surcharged with views on all sorts OF
abstract subjects and could be moved
to impart those views at length to the
readers of magazines? Certainly not.
Almost every man who writes at all
would like to write essays-long es-
says. But the wise editors won't have
them any more, because the people
won't read them and won't even take
magazines that get the reputation OF
harboring them. If an editor Graves
a small circulation in this day let him
gather the essayists about him and
freely turn them loose upon his pages.
Success.

Some one has been hunting up the
history of the mattress. Its beginning
was the collection of rags, husks or
reeds which were bound together and
thrown down anywhere to form rest
ing place for the kinds and serfs Of the
rich. 1t is suggested that their names
of shakedown and makeshift were de-
rived originally from the Arabic
word "matrah." In the middle ages
feather beds found favor with the
wealthy and the mattress was not used
by them. Inventories of estates owned
by the American colonists show that
mattresses were then worth 5000 each
being made of hair. In England mat
tresses of rabbits fur were once useC
and vegetable fibers of various kinds
have served their turn.

AhOUt Magnets.

Magnets are frequently made in the
form of horseshoe or letter U, but a
horseshoe magnet is really nothing
more than bar magnet bent. AS both
poles will attract iron it is apparently
twice as strong as when in the bar
form. A piece Of iron laid across the
poles is attracted by both of them. In
this case the poles act on opposite ends
of the iron and do not destroy each
others effects, for each pole magnetizes
the portion of the iron. opposite 1t. The
iron therefore becomes strong mag
net with its north pole touching the
south pole of the horseshoe magnet and
its south pole touching the north pole.
This is popularity called keeper" be-
cause it "keeps," or preserves, the
strength of the magnet, which be-
comes much weaker when the keeper
is left off.-St. Nicholas.

Queer Legend of Tailed Men.

When a native Hollander wants to
show his hatred for an Englishman
he simply refers to him as "steert
man"-in other words, "the man with
tail" The legend says that Thomas
Beckett cursed the Kentish men who
spitefully cut off the tail Of his horse
while he was riding the animal
through the country, and that the en-
tire generation of Kent which followed
wore tails like those of horses. John
Bale, Edward Wis bishop of Ossory,
mentions the legend, but gives some
variations as to the cause of the ig-
noble punishment. He says John Cap
grave and Alexander of Esseby say
eth that "for castynge fyshe tayles at
st. Augustine Dorsetshyre men had
tayles ever after that"
But Polydorus applies it to Kentish
men at Stroud, by Rochester, for cut
tinge off Thomas Beckets horses
tayle." One account says that only
those living in Kent at the time Of
the curse were afflicted with large,
dropping tayles, like brutes; their pos
terity being not so affected"

Bamboo OpaIs.

Bamboo opals are peculiar gems
which are sometimes found in the
stem of the bamboo. This gem is very
rare from the fact that not one in a
thousand bamboo stems contains it.
These vegetable growths are called
tobacur by the Filipinos. Some of
them are so similar-that is, they ex-
hibit so perfectly the characteristics of
the opal-that even experts frequently
fail to distinguish them from the real
gem,
