this is MY 81sT BIRTHDAY"

Frederic Mis'ral, the famous French
author and pc WIS born i'm the little
village of Maillane, i'm the heart of
Provence, September s. 1880. His ed
ucation was received i'm boarding
school at Avignon, which was few
miles distant from his home. After
leaving school he studied law at AK.
but soon he abandoned law for liter
allure. Though Mistrars poems have
won wide popularity for the charm OF
their romance, his chief work, and the
one that brought him the important
prize of the Institute of France, is his
Provencal- French dictionary, in the
preparation of which he spent ten
years. The poet is n leader in the
movement to preserve local Language
es. literature and traditions. He be-
lieves that the historic sections of
France. Spain, Italy Flanders, Hun
gary and all countries where localities
had been strong enough to create a
language. deserve attention for the
revival of these. Year by year the i'm
portance of Mistral's work has come
TO be more generally recognized, and
i'm his old age many honors have been
bestowed upon him.

THE ENGLISHMAN'S TAIL.

II Is said that the natives of south
ern Arabia still believe that Chris
tians wear hats only to hide their
horns. Formerly the continent of
Europe was firmly convinced that the
Englishman's neither garments con-
cealed a tail. AS late as the reign of
Edward VI. according to Bale, An
Englyshman cannot travayle i'm an
other land by way of merchandise or
any other honest occupyinge but it is
most contumeliously thrown into his
tethe that all Englyshmen have tails"
The belief probably arose from the
legend of the "Kentish longtails." The
people of Canterbury, as the legend
las IL, Knocked at Beckett as he rode
by on an ass, and they cut off the
ASS tail. Wherefore they and their
descendants were cursed with tails
thenccforth. At least so said the Jest
crs OF other countries, and the SANDER
eventually reacted upon England in
general. Another version substitutes
