A very odd thing in fans was brought
from London as a present. This fan is
a flmy affair of gauze stretched in a
black frame and is the most simple and
innocent looking of the fan species when
it is folded up and lies demurely on a
lady's lap or reposes peacefully upon her
dressing table. But let a pretty woman
unfurl and hold it before her face, and
the most incorrigible woman hater will
become dimly aware that even his peace
is menaced by the fine coquetry of the
dainty weapon.
In the middle of the black gauze is set
a tiny velvet half mask, through which
a pair of merry, tawny brown eyes can
do awful execution. The thin fabric
upon which it is placed is distractingly
becoming to the fair and delicate tints
of hair and face, and the long, slender
ebony sticks, decorated with bow and
streamers of sable velvet, are in strong
and pleasing contrast 10 white, slender
fingers,
This is what a man will see in the
Kendall fan-called so because Mrs. Ken
dial invented and patented it-bLt look
you now what follows and you shall
learn what a finds in the dainty
toy when she investigates its true in
wardness, On IL side of the outer stick
is a small oval mirror set above a velvet
bow, in the loops of which bangles q
little black satin bag rs round and only
a trihe larger than a French franc. 1t
contains u morscl of a powder puff. In
an u~nsuspeCted ~crevice behind the mir
ror are three hairpins. On the opposite
side of the fan II clasp holds in place a
Wee pencil, glove buttoner and folding
scissors, and in n groove are, stuck half a
dozen pins, while II miniature vinaigrette
is slowed away at the conjunction of
sticks, streamers and soft fngers.-Ex-

Take n seat at Il popular dress counter

shoppers who stop Mt the counter to ex-

that as n patron of the store she is en-

II is 4 common remark in extenuation
of the inconvenience of not having very
much money that people of ordinary for
tune can eat rs much rs ~millionaires;
and if we find that we can love as easily
and as extensively on small incomes as
on greater ones, we may safely consider
that we nave the better of the rich again.
Perhaps we can; wealth offers so many
diversions hat sometimes the pleasure
there is in loving is overlooked.
The impression certainly exists that
great riches have IA tendency to clog the
affections; and great inequalities of for
tune are a barrier between man and man,
not insurmountable but appreciable.
Love is personal, and very great posses
sions almost inevitably throw personal
qualities into shadow. We love men for
what they are, not what they represent,
We cultivate the muscles because it is
:1I to use them, and because it brings
us the happiness that comes of health.
For like reasons we make a business of
the cultivation of our minds. How sim.
pie it is of us to neglect to the extent
that most of us do the systematic cult
yation of our hearts.-Scribner's.

The longest speech on record is be-
heyed to nave been made by a member
of the Legislature of British Columbia
named De Cosmos. 1t was in the inter
est Of the settlers who were to be ousted
from their lands. DE Cosmos was in the
hopeless minority. The job had been
held back until neal the close of the ses-
sion; unless legislation was taken before
ton would fail.
The day before the expiration of the
limitation De Cosmos got the floor about
10 a. IN and began a speech against the
bill. Those in favor of the bill cared
but little for what they supposed would
be an hour or an hour and a half speech
from De Cosmos, thinking that they
would have no trouble in putting it on its
passage as soon as he was through. One,
3, 4 and . o'clock came; still De Cosmos
talked rs though he had ages in which
to finish his remarks. AT q o'clock he
produced a fearful bundle of evidence;
then, for the first time, q suspicion of
the truth dawned upon the majority
De Cosmos intended to speak until noon
of the next day, the time for adjourn
ment, and thus kill the bill.
They tried to shout him down with
their frequent and noisy interruptions,
but soon saw that that only gave him a
chance to digress and make his talk less
laborious. AT midnight the members
slipped out to lunch and returned only
to fall asleep in their seats; still De Cos
mos went on. Day dawned over the
sleepy assemblage with tired looks and
11Aal.l.t a,aa atf11 fha eatt1arof hnrn
kept the floor. Six hours more of talk
and noon, the hour of adjournment,
came to the baffied majority; a single
man had ~triumphed. His lips were
cracked and his chin smeared with blood
from the cracks; he tottered and fell
from sheer exhaustion, but the land was
saved. De Cosmos had spoken twenty
six hours.-St. Louis Republic.

WHEN mALLows ARE IN BLOOM.

Wen wander down the beach again,
When mallows arc In bloom;
Through verdant wood and dowery lane,
When mallows are in bloom;
Wen talk Of summers long ago,
OF joys and hopes we used to know,
And SGT the old time fires aglow
When mallovs arc In bloom
Twas here we met each other first
When mallows were in bloom;
And here our youthful fancies nursed,
When pAllows were in bloom;
And now they seem In Natures bower
For vermor to mark the hour
For love attained is perfect flower
When malioVs were In bloom
The meadows seem with jewels SET
When mallows are In bloom;
The ocean wears a carcanet
When mAllows are In bloom;
The h~ushandmAn his sickle Wields,
Each breeze a thousand perfumes Yields
And we arc in Eysian fields
When mAllows are In bloom
Lost visions are restored to us,
When mAllows are In bloom;
And we, renewed, exalted thus,
When mAllows are In bloom,
Forget the present grief and pain,
And down the beach and through the lana
Like two young lovers, stroll again,
When mallows are In bloom.

BERLIN's SAMOAN TREATY.
The Agreement Signed by Malietoa
and the Consuls at Apia.

The Agreement Signed by Malietoa
and the Consuls at Apia.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-The steamer
Zealandia, which arrived last night, brings
from Samoa particulars of the signing of
the treaty by King Malietoa and the Ameri-
can, British and German consuls on April
10. Great interest was manifested in the
event, and large number of natives and
nearly all the white population of Apia
assembled around the house where the
treaty was ratified. The king and the three
consuls gathered around table in tho
kings house on which copy of the treaty
was placed.
AFFIXING OF THE SIGNATURES.
The certificate was read and translated
and then handed to King Malietoa, who
signed it. The three consuls then attached
their signatures. Several days before the
treaty was ratified, the three consuls sent a
letter to King Malietoa inclosing a copy. Of
the treaty as adopted by the Berlin confer
ence and giving the following explanation: /:
"This treaty will allow the people of Samoa
to form a government under their own
native king strong enough to prevent fur
ther civil war aud to keep peace and good
order in Samoa, thus Offering every security
forIthe future welfare of its people.
FOREIGNERS BEAR THE EXPENSE.
''The carrying out of its pro visions will
it is true, cause considerable expense, but
it is not on the shoulders of the people of
Samoa, but it is on those OF the foreign
residents of the island that the heavier part
of these charges are laid. 1t will therefore
be best for the Samoan people that this
general act be as whole assented to and
accepted by the government of Samoa"
