ABOUT FANS.

The Origin and History of a Useful and
Ornamental Article.
According to the learned Froissard,
the fan originated from the necessity
felt in all hot climates of something for
keeping off flies, whether from the sa-
cred offering in the temples, or from the
faces and hands of officiating priests.
In China and India the original model
of the fan was the wing of a bird. The
fans of the high priests Isis were in the
form of a half circle, made of feathers
of different lengths. Such, too, were
the fans carried in triumphal process
sions, and which among the ancient
Egyptians and Persians served as mill
tary standards in the time of war. The
fans carried by the Roman ladies dur
ing the Angustan age were not like the
most ancient Chinese fans, made in one
piece, but were composed of little tab
lets of perfumed wood, specimens of
which can be seen at the museums of
Florence and Naples. The fans of the
middle ages were worn in good society
suspended by gold or silver chains fast
ened to the girdle, and were usually
made of feathers: Tie fan was intro
duced in France by Catherine de Medici,
where it was quickly adopted by bellies
of the period and also by effeminate
tops. France has since led the world in
fan-making, and designing decoration
of fans has become a fine art. A fan
was made for the ex-Empress Eugene
which cost the equivalent of two thous-
and four hundred dollars in our money,
and one for the Princess of Wales which
cost one thousand, six hundred dollars,
Partisan fans are esteemed all over the
world for their artistic beauty and work.

BOOM.LAND.

Due east Of the sun and due west of the moon,
In o region of lights and glOoms,
In q place full of sound and of silence lies the
faint, far Land of Blooms,
Where is stalled the great stud of dark horses
which Ambition heedfully grooms.
There talk.geysers spout on forever, and the
word-pump never tires:
statesman himself coyly admires.
While Mount Evarts threatens the plains OF
speech with sluggish volcanic fires.
All day and all night are heard there the max
ing and breaking of states,
And the buzzing of bees in the bonnets OF
professional candidates.,
And the neigh of dark horses waiting in the
stalls Of the mighty Fates.
There wise men feed on the husks of hope
and drink of the juice of corn,
And are Iulled with lies that reach their souls
through the cheating gate of horn,
sure as they are born.
Like the lightnings of midnight the eyes there

For in wild reverberauce "Hooray for

A Cry to

The Legislature of Connecticut has
followed that of Maryland in praying
Congress to provide an adequate sys-
tenn of coast defenses. Directly or in
directly, it is of vital interest to every
State that the blackboard and seaboard
shall be put in a state of strong defense.
To some of the States this question is
one of self-preservation.
This great State of New York gives
of all the States the most hostages to
the fortune of war. A hot-headed Sec
rotary of State OF a wrong-headed for
eign diplomatist might bring ruin to
the property of more than two millions
of the inhabitants of New York. A few
hours might work damage that a gen.
Grafton could hardly retrieve. The
payment of an enormous indemnity
would be the only safeguards against
absolute ruin, and that indemnity would
be a tax long and deeply felt in al,
branches of industry and business.

the business men of New York City
and the tributary adjoining citiel

TEXAN SNAKES,
A Great Country for Monster Specimen
of the Rattlesnake Persuasion.

A OEeAt country IOr monster specimens
of the R~attlesnake Persuasion.
The largest rattlesnakes are in Texas,
on the lower Rio Grande, where they
sometimes attain the length of twelve
feet and are heavy in proportion. The
smallest are the ..horned" rattlesnakes
of Arizona, New Mexico and Southern
California, which seldom reach a length
of two feet. They have two little ex-
c%rescences over the eyes and are full of
devilment. They have ~rattles, but sell
dom use them, preferring to lie half
when they demonstrate. The sand or
dessert" is also small, and pretends to
be on neighborly terms with the prairie
dog, whose burrows he occupies. I
have reason to believe that when the
rattlesnake inserts himselfin the bosom
of a prairie dogs family he d, es SO on
fraudulent grounds and is unwillingly
entertained. The prairie dog carries
no life insurance and can not afford a
quarrel, and the snake is mean enough
to take the advantage of him. There
is a little brown and very comical owl
who likewise takes up residence with
the prairie dog, but he makes at least a
show of earning his rent by remaining
at the entrance and acting as ~janitor,
politely bowling to everybody who
passes. Neither snake, dog nor owl
seems to mind the others presence, bui
are exceedingly sociable. -NashUSM

SPRING GARDENING.

The gentle Spring has come
And men, who garden some,
Leap from their beds while yet the morn 10
gray,
And, like q tramp arrayed,
With barrow, rake and spake
Courgeously attack the soggy clay.
They furiously dig
A place-notv very big
Then gently rake 1t smoother than q floor,
Then, on their hands and knees,
Drop in the precious peas,
And pun, and pant, and sweat from every
pore.
E'en at the breakfast bell
These heroes will rebel,
And shout they're. "nearly through" and
But not till breakfasts cold,
And wife begins to scold,
Will they quit work, all ready for q row.
They can't wash on the dirt;
They struggle in q shirt,
And finish at the table, where In pain
They choke-no time to taste
Then rush with nervous haste
Across the lots. and miss, of course, the
train.
At night, with blistered hand,
And broken back, they stand
a swearing at the neighbours wicked chicks,
Who've scratched up all the seeds,
So nothing grows but weeds
Which shows It doesn't pay TO rise at six.

THE PRESIDENTS DESK.

Many Subjects that Demand Mr.. Cleve-
lands Attention-His Autograph.
The Presidents desk in the early
morning presents a queer sight. When
the Chief Executive lays aside his
Havana to go to work, there are upon
the table all sorts Of things. Papers of
every description, pertaining to almost
every known subject under the sun,
are there, and the writing on the en-
velopes is a study. People resort tt
every means to reach the Presidents
ear and eye, and present their claims
after their own style. personal" is
always written ON letters addressed to
the President, but nearly all of his
mail is gone through by Colonel
Lamont and the UNDERGRADUATES,
and the really personal or import
ant letters sifted and laid on
legion. His desk is always neatly
arranged in the morning, but it
presents a sorry appearance when the
days work is done. The President re-
ceives a good many papers from callers
during the day, and these he lays on
his table. He is a quick worker, and
in an hour generally has every thing in
order, and a majority of the cases
either disposed of entirely or properly
referred.
One of the most pleasant yet diff
cult duties he has to perform is appeas-
ing the autograph craze. Doorkeeper
Lefher generally has a dozen or so
autograph albums lying on his table.
When the President comes to his Office
in the morning Lefher takes in his
little load, and if the President APP
pears to be in a good humor he lays
them on the table, and the President,
with a laugh and some remark about
the craze, writes his signature nearly
always this way:
Grover Cleveland,
Feb. 81, 1886.
When the books have all been signed
Lef1er takes them to his desk and
keeps them until they are called for.
The President sometimes varies the
way of writing his autograph, occa-
slonally following the date by 'Exscu-
tive Mansion or ''White House," but
never putting president" before OF
after his name. A great many of the
autograph books are left by Senators,
members and other high officials, bu,
almost every caller has a book in which
they want the Presidents signature.
If all these were sent in the labor
would keep the President busy fol
twenty-five hours in the day, but Mr..
Le ~ler has a way of keeping the PEG.
pie %. The President never refuses to
sign his name in the books, as not more
than a half dozen at a time are taken
in to him, and these only about three
days in a week.
Some ladies interested in one of the
charitable institutions of this city called
on the President a month or so ago anG
requested that he donate his signature
to be voted for at a fair to be given fol-
the benefit of the institution. The
President seized a piece of paper; ther
stopped, and opening a drawer pulled
out his check-book, filled it in for 8
substantial amount, and signed it
giving it to one of the ladies with tn,
remark: 81 guess that autograph will
do more good Washington Post.

Fire Customs in China.

The following extract from a lerue.
from a lady in Pekin, China, written tc
a friend in Chicago, will interest a good
many people: Last week there was
quite a fire not very far from us, quite
an unusual thing l am told, for the
buildings are of brick with tile roofs.
Several stores burned, and three men
were burned to death. A strange GUS
tom in connection with any fire is, that
the n of the building where the fire
breaks out is taken to the yarmin (place
of public business, police court, etc.
and severely beaten, l suppose the idea
being that he must have been careless
to have let it happen. In this case the
man was hurt at the fire and died from
the beating. Another strange thing is,
that all the stores near, for several days
are obliged to sell their goods cheap,
out of gratitude that they did not burn
down too. "-Micaqo Inter- Ocean.
