JAPANESE FANS The qualities Of
native paper now used are not nearly
so good as those of which the old fans
were made, and, i'll consequence, the
STYLE of manufacture has had to be
changed. Instead of first pasting the
two faces Of the fan together and then
running in pointed ribs, the ribs are
square and are pasted in their places
in the manner described above The
outside lucquered pieces and the fai CIV
work are all done in Osaka and Kioto,
and so ne of the designs in gold lacquer
on bone are really artistic; but the
demand for the highly ornamcntcd
description of fans is not sufficient to
encourage the production of large
quantities of first class work. When
the iasides are dry, the riveting of the
pieces together, including the outer
covering, is rapidly done, and a dash
of varnish quickly finishes the fan -
The highest price that was ever given
for fan in the days of seclusion from
tie outer world rarely exceeded q SOW
ereign but since the arrival of for
eigners in the country, some few have
Dten tEOtC 10 OTtleI dI DElCcS VARYING
from f2 - f3. The general prices OF
ordinary fans range from 2 to 8 shil-
lings to f3 per hundred, though an
extraordinarily expensive fan is turned
out at fl0 per hundred. The sale of
fans in olden times. seldom exceeded
10000 year for the whole country ;
but in recentyea no less than 8 ,O0O.-
600 per annnm have been exported
from the ports of fOsaka and Yokohama
alone. In concluding these b.ief notes
it may be interesting to mention that
the number of fans ordered in Japan
for the centennial exhibition at Phila-
delphia reaelfeartife large figure of
00,000. the estimated cost of which
was 100000. and that :hese we're over
and above the ordinary annual export
alluded to before Chambers Journal.

FEEDING FOR NEAT-The Boston
Journal Of Chemistry says that poor
animals consist of abou. two thirds
water while fat ones are only one half,
in the total weight, and compares poor
! animals to bog meadows. 1t adds,
that when the fa.tening process begins
water commences to disappear, and
fat or suet takes its PLACE; and the in
crease in bulk during the process is
largely of adipose matter. 1t is
curious circumstance that during the
fattening, the proteids or nitrogenous
compounds, increase only about I per
cent, and bone mSterials, or inorganic
substance, only per cent.
The cost to a farmer of fattening an
OK is much greater at the close of the
process than at the commencement
that is. increase in bulk or dry weight
at that period is much more costly.
1t costs cents a pound for bulk for
the first month after n poor animal Is
put in the fattening stall; il viii cost 5
cents the last month. If, then, a far
mer consult his money interests, he
will not carry the increase in fat be-
yond certain point. provided he can
turn his partially fattened animals to
fair advantage. Farmers have, per-
haps, learned this fact from experience
and observation. and hence compara-
lively lean beef abounds in cur markets
While this is of advantage to the
farmer, il is very disadvantageous to
the consumers of the beef, for the flesh
of a fat animal in ieveIy case is much
richer in fixed nourishing material than J.
that of the lean, ana it is never good /.
economy to purchase lean beef 1t is .
better to purchase. the poorest part of
a fat ANIMAL than the best of Il lean
one. The best piece of fat OK (the /
loin) contains from twenty one To
twenty eight per cert. more fixed ma
terial than the corresponding part of a
lean one; and curiously enough the
worst piece in the lean animal (the
neck) is the richest in nourishing MAJ
terial. The flesh Of the neck improves
very little i'll fattening hence, economy
considered, it is the best portion to
purchase, as its value in measure is
a fixed one.

TIE END OF THE R4TNBOW.

according to popular belief. the
eXtremltles OF a rainbow ALWAYS touch
streams, whence it draws water. by
means of two large golden dishes
That Is why it rains for three dsvs
after the appearance OF rainbow, be-
cause the water must fall again on tie
earth. Whoever arrives at the ri~ht
moment at the spot where the rainbow
Is drinking, can take possession OF the
golden dish, which reflects all the
colors Of the rainbow: but if nobody
Is there the dishes are again drawn up

once happened at Reutlingen. in Sws-
hia. 1t broke in several pieces. but

Tor it. AT Tubingen. people used to
run to the end of the rainbow. which
appeared to be resting over the NCcNar
or the Steinlach, to secure the golden
dish. Usually it is considered wrong
TO sell the dish, which ought 20 be
kept as an heirloom in the family. for
1t brings good luck, A shepherd IN
the Swabian Alps once found such
dish, and he never afterwards lost
sheep. An unfortunate native {.
Henbach, who sold the treasure a.
high price, was struck dumb on th.
spot. Small round gola Coins, marked
with cross or s-ar are frequent
found in Swabia, and the peasants de.
ciared that they were manufacture
from tie rainbow dishes bv the Romans
when they invaded Germany. In the
Black Forest, the ainbow uses golden

MILK CURE.

There IS wellknown CASE ~ n
befeS in Columbia which has ba,., :.
tracing 1.-The attention of the med,
Fraternity for some tine. and inst -
is made the subject of report and Az
cussion of the Lancaster county M;
cal society. The patientisa rentIe,,''
who is willing that the public ,ra-
know the different treatments AMI,
and how the use of skinned Mill, -
fects the disease, that others NAV nros,
thereby.
Diabetes is a disease in which 81
food, liquids, &c, are not assimilatoa
but are wasted through an excessive
and morbid discharge of saccbar;rs
urine.
For long time different remesi,.
were tried. Physicians in Colum1i.
Sinking Springs. Reading, Iarcqste-
and Philadelphia were consulted enc
their remedies, in turn, adoDted ana
directions followed The treatnc,t
frequently showed opposite extremes
One physician consulted, for instanca
would not permit the patient 20 eqt
anything containing sugar.-rfe ne.
would recommend him to carry Iosy
sugar in his pocket and eat it at ulsqs
ure. Medicines of almost every kfrl
and in large and small quantities were
tried.
At one time he was taking from raur
TO nine doses Of strong medicine. surb
as tannic acid, &c, in twenty.faY-
hours Then he was advised to drirt-
liquor and he drank ale. beer. brandy
German and claret wines in great
quantities. At one period he drank
large quantities of brandy daily, but
never felt well.
A prominent physician of Philadal-
phia, the last consulted before adontiDr
the skinned milk cure, told his b7
could not live more thai wear even
IT he followed his advice Upon beioo
asked how long the physician tbouolI3
he could live if he did not adopt his
treatment, he replied nine months
The patient preferred to foreqo the
treatment and shuttle off this mortal
coil that much sooner rather than
swallow such enormous quantities Of
medicine.
1t one time he drank in fluids. such
as coffee. tea, beer. etc, on an average
seven gallons day, and discharged il
uri"e about nine gallons. He ate at
one meal as much as three hearty men
would eat. He could drink three OF
four pints of the coolest ice water in
succession, or even swallow crushed
ice, and in five minutes have parched
tongue and lips. He would have to
lise every hour during the night. cir
culation did not extend to the extrsm-
tiles, and the effects Of the disease
were more and more apparent.
About seven weeks ago he com,
mebced the skinned milk cure. This
consists in absolutely restricting tie
diet TO skinned milk-eating ami
drinking nothing else. At first il re-
quired two gallons a dav to qperch his
thirst and appease his appetite. Now
this week-he required but three
quarts day, one quart at each meal,
and this is sufficient to sustain life
His thirst has left, the swelling sud
soreness of his feet have been red, eel
he sleeps all night, rests well, aai
when he rises lie feels refreshed

MUSCULAR POWER IN BEETLES
Dir. Gosse relates the following anec-
dote of a three horned beetle. which is
not larger than the ordinary English
stag beetle: This insect has Just
astonish~d me by a proof of its vast
strength Of body. " hen it was first
brought to me, having no box imme-
diateIy at hand, | was at loss where
to put it until | could kill it; but a
quart bottle full of milk being on the
table, | clapped the beetle for the
present under that, the hollow at the
bottom allowing him room to stand
upright. Presently, to my surprise,
the bottle began to move slonlv, and
glide along the smooth table. propelled
by the muscular power of the impris-
oned insect, and continued for Some
time to perambulate the surface, to
the astonishment of all who witnessed
it. The weight of the bottle and it's
contents could not have been less than
three pounds and half, while that OF
the beetle was about half an ounce, SO
that it. readily moved q weight one
hundred and twelve times exceeding
its own. A better notion than figures
can convey Iill be obtained of this
feat by supposiEg lad OF fifteen to be
