FAN AS A GARMENT.
The Feathery weapon of Flirtatio Is

The Feathery Weapon of a Filtration
Belle Put to Practical Use.
New York Letter in San Francisco CALL
Did you suppose that clothes were always
for warmth and fans for coolnesss Well,
then, you are mistaken. Your theory is
sound in tbs main, but the ball belle reverses
it. She goes to the gay gatherings of dan
GERS bare-breasted, in the fashion sanctioned
by polite usage. From shoulder to shoulder,
and from neck to a perilously low point, she
has no covering whatever. 1t is clear as can
be that her ga1b has no reference to warmth.
She is by it exposed at her most sensitive
area to cold. Every draught of air threat
ems her with pneumonia, and each change
from the temperature of a room to that of
colder one menaces neuralgia or rheumatism.
In this quandary she bethought herself of
making her fan paradox. She employs
that article of adornment, Irritation and re-
frigeration for still another purpose. She
gets big one constructed of feathers on the
outside: or else lace affair which looks as
airy as her own corsage; but the inner sur
face is covered with swans down, under
which is thick wadding. Armed with that
sort of fan, like the shield of Joan of
Arc, she defends her breast against the darts
of death. If door is opened to let in cold
air on her while she is engaged in quadrille
she spreads the fan closely on her bosom, and
thereby is instantly much dressed as
though high-necied gown, chemise and
channels underwear had been suddenly
donned If in the circles of a waltz she has
to pass an open window, the fan is clapped
into place White fur is, in some instances,
used for these fans o They are a great com
fort during the ball and opera season I as
sure you. But I had to laugh at the unse-
phisticated fellow who, the>other night, was
discussing with matron the charms of
maiden who sat at the opposite side of the
hall.
''She is really 80 modest" he remarked;
las gushing as a school girl. See how she
defends herself with her fan against the eyes
of the man who is bending over her"
The fact was that she sat in breezy spot
and was using her fur-lined fan.

THE PROBLEMs OF LABOR.
A Plan of Investigation Outlined b.
Commissioner Wright.

Plan of investigation Outlined by
Commissioner Wright.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Hon. Carroll D.
Wright, commissioner of labor, has submit
ted letter to the Secretary of the Interior
outlining plan of investigating the labor
problems. These plans embodied in the let
ter given below meet the hearty approval of
Secretary Lamar:
To the Hon. Secretary of the Interior:
1 have the honor to recommend for the
work of this bureau for the present year an
investigation outlined as follows: That the
bureau shall investigate the question of in
dustrial depressions, involving a study of
their character, their causes and whether
they are contemporaneous in the
great producing countries of the
world, and whether to duration, Sc
verify and periodicity they are alike in such
countries. Such an investigation would in
volve the question of the influence of depres-
sions on the cost of living, the extent to
which industries have been developed and
the cost of production reduced through the
use of machinery in the great industrial CEN
tres and the difference in rates of wages in
like Industries in different localities of the
United States, the influence of climate on
the use of machinery, the rates of wages and
the cost of living, the influence of taxes on
all matters relating to living
and as TO INDUSTRIAL d6pr6SSlOnS:
how far corners may be influential in such
matters the productivity of labor in various
localities, the influence of distribution and
transportation of foreign immigration and
the employment of foreign contract
labor in bringing about depressions;
what industrial, commercial and finan-
cial conditions have produced such depres-
sions, and whether large importations OF
expectations or extensive railroad building,
ETC., have preceded them. This rough out
line will indicate to you the scope of the
proposed work of this office for the current
year. Should it meet your approval it will
be my purpose to SO push the investigation
as to be able to make report early
in the session of the next Congress
say January, 1886. It does not
seem to me to be profitable or expedient for
the bureau to attempt more than one investi-
lined strikes at the constitutional disease SO
far as the labor question is concerned, and,
if ernducted judiciously, must result in pre-
senting to the country classified information
not before given. Should you deem it wise to
approve the course 1 have marked out the
plan would involve the employment of at
least three special agents from three to ave
months in Europe, including the great in
dustrial centers, and eight or ten such agents
from four to six months each in the United
States. These agents. should their employ
ment be authorized, should be assigned to
their localities and duties without delay.
Your obedient servant,
(Signed) CARROLL D. WRIGHT,
Commissioner of Labor

General Grants Condition.

New York, March 19.-Dr. Douglass said
tonight after his visit to General Grant:
''The general slept seven hours continually
last night. He was very well through the
day. He asked for roast mutton and ate it.
During the afternoon and evening the gen.
sral revised enough of his book to keep the
printers busy three days. When I left the
general tonight he was inclined to sleep.
His throat looks better and it has not the
angry appearance it has had. There was
catarrhal difficulty in the morning that
caused gagging but no bad results. Cocaine
is not now being used and there is no pain.
It is mental occupation that renders the
general wakeful."

the Russians under General Koaaroff have

vague origin is that Lord Dufferin, viceroy
of India, has threatened TO resign unless the
government gives him fuller power to carry
