Personnel of Our Earlier Presidents.

feTSOnnel OF Uur earlier HroSl0entSs
The Presidents of the United States
were generally men of goodpersonal ap-
pearance. The extremes in point of
stature were Polk and Lincoln-the lat
ter of whom was six f~eet.four, while the
former was a little more than five feet
three. Van Buren,, also, was a small
man. The first four were men of much
dignity. Concerning Washington, moth
ing need be added on this point. He was
! the beau-ideal of manly beauty, even in
his latter days, and when Stuart under
took to paint his portrait, the artist was
SO overcome with the majesty of his pat
ron that at first he was unable to proceed
with his task. John Adams lacked
Washington's noble stature and gran
deur of mien, but he was man of much
dignity. Jefferson was of noble per-
sonnel-tal1, well-built and of imposing
appearance. Madison had merely a re-
spectacle look, and, being dressed in
black, presented much the appearance
| of a clergyman. Monroe and Washing
ton were the only Presidents that served
in the field during the Revolution. They
were together at Trenton, where Mon
roe was a Lieutenant and received e ball
which he carried through life. He was
| the last of the Revolutionary Presi-
dents, and wore the cooked hat and
continental uniform, which became him
to a remarkable degree. John Quincy
Adams, like his father, was stout,
thick-set and deficient in point of
stature. jackson was tall and gaunt,
with bristling hair, and a nervous but
deficient countenance. Van Buren,
lacked personal dignity, and, indeed,
was the most deficient of all u Presi-
dents in physique excepting Polk. Har-
rison was a man of much personal dig
nifty. Tyler was a ~spare-faced man, with
a broad, thin nose, which gave him
rather a comical appearance. It vas
his station as President that won the
hand of the rich woman, Gardiner,
rather than any personal attraction.
Polk was, as has been said, a small man,
with a cold, repulsive ~countenance, and
a hard, staring pair of eyes that were
singularly free from anything like a
kindly, genial look. Taylor was a
h~eavy-built man with a rough visage, as
might have been expected of one whose
life was passed on the frontier. He was
bred a soldier, and loved the service.
His face had a pleasant smile at times,
but was often impressed with the stern
character of military life. Fillmore had
a Emphatic countenance-dM, except
when Lit up by business OF pleasure.
He was agreeable IL society andinterest-
ing in conversation, to a degree much
beyond many of his predecessors. He
was OF more than an average size, and
of proportions that suggested dignity if
not elegance. Buchanan was a feeble
looking old gentleman, whose white
choker suggested the clerical order.
His countenance, however, showed that
he wa not a man of progress, and
rather suggested the fossil order of in

Something About Fans.

Kan 81 was the first lady who carried
a fan. She lived in ages which are past,
and. for the most part, forgotten, and
she was the daughter of a Chinese a
DARN. Who ever saw a mandarin, even
on a tea-chest, without his fan? In
China and Japan co this day every n
has a fan, and there are fans of all sorts
for everybody. The Japanese waves his
fan at you when he meets you, by way
of greeting, and the beggar who solicits
for aims has the exceedingly small coin
"made on purpose " for charity present
ed to him On the tip of the fan.
In ancient times, among the Greeks
and Romans, fans seem to have been
enormous /; they were generally made of
feathers, and carried by slaves over the
heads of their masters and misstresses,
to protect them from the Gun, or waved
about before them to stir the air.
Catherine de Medicis carried the first
folding fan aver seer in France; and, in
the time of Louis XIV, the fan was a
gorgeous thing, often covered with jew
els, and worth a small fortune. In En-
gland they were the fashion in the time
of Henry VIII. ALI his many wives
carried them. A fan. set in diamonds
was once given to Queen Elizabeth upon
New Years day.
The Mexican feather fans which Cor
tez had from Montezuma were marvels
of beauty, and in Spain a large black
fan is the favorAe. 1t is said hat the
use of the fan is as carefully taught in
that country as any other branch of
education, and that, by a well-known
code of signals, a Spanishlady can carry
on a long conversation with.any one, es-
pecially an admirer.
The Japanese criminal of rank is po-
litely executed by mean of a fan. On
being sentenced to death he is presented
with,a fan, which he must receive with
a low bow, and, as he bows, presto ! the
executioner draws his sword and cuts
his head off. In fact there is a fan for
every occasion in Japan.-Harper's
Young Folks.

The bills of lofty endeavor and high

afford we need not complain that it is
because of the insuperable limitations of

The New Shock to the Nation.

The news OF an alarming change in the Presi-
dents condition was so unexpected that it was
like shock to the country. Favorable reports
OF the Presidents progress had gone out from
day to day, until the public mind settled upon
the conviction that he was out of danger. re-
lapse was not apprehended. The first infOrma-
ton sent cut from the White House Saturday
morning was of an assuring character. 1t eau
tlously alluded to a slight febrile rise of the
night before. and closed with reference to a
" gain in the Presidents favor" This conveyed
ang this within an hour or two was the bulletin
OF the surgeons stating that the President had
passed a restless night and had had a slight
rlgor that morning The figures given showed
an increase of fever. which caused general alarm
The fear that the President was i'm greater dam
ger than the bulletins Indicated took possession
OF the people. and every face was marked with
the deepest anxiety. The news to-day is reas-
suring, and it now looks as if hope may reason
ably take the place of fear again. The surgical
operation performed yesterday was followed i'm
mediafely by good effect. and it has apparently
removed the cause of all the trouble The Pres
ldent rested well last night his fever has Once
more a0ated. the discharge of pus from the
wound continues to be free and everything looks

danger remains of the formation of other alb
