when Hoops Began.

When were hoops "in" for the first
time? According to Strut, ''trundling
the hoop is a pastime of uncertain or
igin, but much in fashion at present.
QSOD. Dr. Murray's dictionary, Incl
dentally remarking that the original
hoop affected by boys was a barrel
hoop, gives no English reference to 1t
earlier than 1892. But the hoop was
we'll known to ancient Greek and Ro-
man boys, who called it ''trochus"
(wheeD. Their hoops were made of
bronze, and representations Of them on
gems show that they were driven by a
little hook with wooden handle, very
like the modern boys hoop stick. This
was called by the Greeks "elater"
(driver) and by the Romans "clavis'
Rey). Sometimes the ancient hoop had
bells attached to it, and modern Lon
don may be glad to be spared at least
that exasperation.-London Chronicle.

FRAUDS IN OLD BOOKS.
Ancient and Rare Volumes DOctOred
Restored and Initiated.


A well known collector acquired
what he took to be a book published
by Aldus in the year 1889. He paid
$1,000 for it and believed that it was
an original Aldus, because the publish
er's press mark, dolphin coiled round
an anchor, appeared upon it. When
the book was shown to an expert it
proved to be beyond shadow of
doubt 4 modern antique-that is to
say, it was simply a copy of the orig
inal work printed by an ingenious book
fakir. So clever was the imitation
that only an expert could tell it from
the original and rare book. Scores of
persons during recent years have
bought facsimiles of rare works under
the impression that they were getting
the originals. Dickens Sunday Un-
der Three Heads has been faxed
many times and sold as original to
collectors who no doubt treasure them
as rarities. Genuine copies of this
little book are worth a good sum, and
some INSCRIPTIONS dealers, taking ad-
vantage of the circumstances, have
had it reprinted and palm off the
copies on unsuspecting bibliomaniacs
for the genuine first edition.
Many men make a living by doc
toring" old and rare books for un-
scrupulous dealers. These men are
adopts in the art Of book restoring and
are quite able to make good any part
of an imperfect copy. For instance
if a rare book has leaf missing it is
handed over to a restorer, who re-
prints the page with battered type
the paper upon which it is printed be-
ing afterward discolored with chem
icals or tobacco water in order to give
it the true antique hue.
The first folio Shakespeare is, of
course, Of great value, and it is safe
to say that every possible deception
has been practiced in fitting up copies
of this work for sale. At one time the
manufacture of first folio Shakespeares
was quite trade A first folio having
several leaves missing had leaves in
serted from the second folio, while in
one case the entire play of "Cymbe
line' was reprinted and inserted in a
first folio. The ''faked" pages were
so cleverly done that several experts
were at first unable to detect them
when turning over the pages of the
work in question. Book restorers, as
rule, are most ingenious artists, and
they can produce an imitation of a
page of a rare book which will deceive
hundreds of collectors. One particu-
lar restorer has "doctored" more than
a thousand old books during the last
two years, producing pages in facsim-
lie and supplying colophons or deco
rated capitals. There Is not thing
wanting to make book complete that
this man cannot skillfully "fake."-

The Poet and the Reautx.

One of the finest houses in southern
England is Penhurst Place. the birth
place of Sir Philip Sidney. Under the
trees of its park Edmund Waller paid
his addresses to the naughty Lady
Dorothea, whom he celebrated as Sach-
arissa But the heart of Lady Dorothea
Sidney-who was the most beautiful
woman Of her time-was untouched by
Walters amatory verses, and she re-
jected the poet in favor of the Earl Of
Sunderland. Many years afterward the
countess met Waller and, reminding
him sentimentally of the old days at
Penhurst, asked him when he would
again write verses about her. "When,
madam" said the poet rudely, you are
as young and as handsome as you were
then"

WAGER OF BATTLE.
1Ae First DueIs Are Said to Have
Been Fought In italy.


The first duels were fought in Italy,
according to Millingea, who speaks of
n manuscript discovered at Cassel and
describes a duel betweep a father and
a son in the reign of the Emperor The
odoric. When Charlemagne forbade
wager of battle among the Lombards
he encountered the liercest opposition
from the mobiles. Early in the ninth
century De Medicis, Il knight. defeated
in single combat the bandit Mugel,
who devastated the Florentine district
now called after him. Mugello. Otho
III. granted the prayer of the nobility
for the establishment of wager of
battle in 9SS. Women and priests
were not compelled to accept it The
Normans showed less gallantry. With
them a woman had to accept, nor could
she name a champion. Her male op-
ponent, however, was buried to his
waist in the earth. Armed with q
club, he tried to strike her as she cir
cled around him, his weapon being a
ball Of iron at the end of a cord. If he
failed to touch her at the third at
tempt He WAS NdIQulSueu, WHICH,
meant to him death with dishonor.
Beccarin says that the reason so
many duels We're fought in Italy in
the early days is that where the law
does not afford protection one must
look to single combat to retain the re-
spect of ones fellow men. In the mid
die ages the ferocity of Italian duels
passes belief. Amy way of putting an
enemy to death cogni modoD is good
enough says one of their writer's.
when an Italian spares his vanQuish-
ed adversary" says Brantome, "he
mains his arms and legs and gives
him as a memento of his kindness and
generosity 4 hideous cash across the
face" Lampagnano practiced on a
painted model of GaleaZzo Sforza be-
fore he stabbed him. Dueling was
called ia schema cavalleresca." Corn

The Gentlemanly Leopard.

The cheetah has a reputation as one
of the most gentlemanly of beasts. A
story from Ootacamund shows what
fine manners the animal has. Three
Calcutta visitors to the hill station
were out on tramp when they were
oyertaken by n thunderstorm, accom-
panied by sheets of rain. They spied a
cave in the side Of the hill, and into 1t
they rushed. When the rain stopped
they came out and, to their surprise.
found cheetah sitting licking the
heavy wet off his waistcoat and his
paws. 1t was his cave, but rather than
deprive his visitors of their shelter the
polite creature had sat outside in the
driving tempest. With friendly new
and gracefully wagging his tail, the
cheetah bade adieu to his guests and
walked with dignity into his house.
