History Depicted on Fans.

In this country fan can scarcely have
any more serious definition thar an ele-
giant adjunct to the toilet of a lady. But
in Japan even the commonest variety
may possess deep political significance,
and even in the present day, according
to London paper, fans have occasion
ally TO be suppressed for much the same
reason that a Western newspaper has
been confiscated-for being vehicle in
vented to SOW ill-teeling and contempt
for statesmen or officials by means of
cartoons and epigrams.
On examining an ordinary bamboo
fan it must not be supposed that it is
mere creation of the artists fancy.
Those queer little men and women, to
our eyes the fac-similes of each other,
represent to the Jap well known histori-
cal or romantic characters. Those i'm
possible looking landscapes ON the reverse
side all depict localities around the capi-
tai, famous shrines and pilgrim goals, at
once recognizable by any traveller in the
country,
A collector of japanese fans of ancient
date finds himself in possession Of a com
plete history of the times, for before the
newspaper was established in the land,
the fan to a large extent supplied its
place. There is no doubt, US an in.
stance of this, that much of the i'll
feeling displayed in Japan against for
eigners some thirty-siX years ago was
due to the extensive circulation of fans
bearing outrageous caricatures of Western
life and manners.

Dream Of an Onyx King.

According to William Cooper, the
Mexican onyz king, there is enough onyx
in Mexico to last about a decade and
then it will become an extinct material,
unless mines are discovered elsewhere.
Such a great demand exists for onyx,
both in this country and Europe, | can
not supply with all my mines, he said.
/ keep hundreds of miners at work
quarrying onyx, and yet l cannot half
supply the demand. No man now
would think of erecting a fine house
without having the interior decorations
largely composed of the finest onyx. A
certain millionaire who is building a
house on Fifth avenue intends to have a
grand stairway of onyx, which will cost
something like $500, 900. The famous
stairway of the famous peacock mansion
Of Mr.. Leland, of London, will sink into
insignifcauce beside this grand
Corinthian stairway of translucent onyx.
/ expect to see a solid edidce OF onyx in
this city. 1t would stand longer than
the Coliseum. ---AeD York Herald,

The Esquimaux live by fishing and

Sunbeams viii Sing.

A wonderful discovery has been at.
tracing the attention of scientists. A
beam of sunlight Is made to pass through
a prism, so as to produce the solar spec
trum OF rainbow. A disk, having Sits
or openings cut in it, is made to revolye
and the colored light of the rainbow is
made to break through it and fall on
silk, wool or other material contained
in a glass vessel. As the colored light
falls upon it sounds will be given by the
different parts of the spectrum, and there
will he silence in other parts. If the
vessel contains red worsted and the
green light flashes upon it louds sounds
will be given. Only feeble sounds will
be heard when the red and blue parts of
the rainbow fall upon the vessel, and
other colors make no sound at all.-NsW
York journal.

The proof of the adage that where
there is a will there is a way to break it
is seen in some statistics in Boston legal
journal. They show that in the United
States last year 1000 wills were contested,
240O of which were broken. Large as
they seem, there is no reason, confesses
the Chicago Herald, 90 doubt the accuracy
of these figures. The contested will case
has become familiar feature of every
Probate Court, and the s5,' lawyers
in setting aside wills has become proven
bal. Even the will of so subtle a law
yer as Mr.. Tilden was successfully CON
tested. The situation is an unfortunate
one for the man of wealth. At his death
he can neither take his riches with him
nor be certain that they will be distributed
afterward in accordance with the behests
of his will.

Robert Bonner is authority for the
statement that in 1856 there was not a
horse that had trotted mile in 2:2O,
and not over twenty horses in the
country in the 2:30 list. The great
change which has occurred during the
fervening years, notes the american
fhiryman, is indicated by the fact that
bring the past year almost one thousand
prses were added to the already very
rge number who had covered a mile
2:30. Tho greatest record thus far

"rHE INVISIBLE"

The red men, whom we so despise
And proudly try to civilize,
Are wiser in some ways by far
Than we and all our teachers are.
We preach the after-life and range ~
Through natures round of ceaseless change
And search the hopes and fears Of men
To prove that we shall live again.
We only half believe; at best
Our faith stands not the greatest test,
For when our friends depart we weep
More than those who do but sleep.
And on each marble slab we write
Some legend of the spirits fight
Lest, passing by, we might forget
That he who died is living yet.
The Indian, with a single phrase,
The ghost of doubt and terror lays,
And lifts the viewless curtain spread
Between us and the so-called dead.
He knows no dead" just for a space
His friends have faded, form and face,
Through Natures strong and subtle spell
They have become invisible"
We are too fine and wise: we need
Much less of logic and of creed.
Oh, let the untaught forest child
Teach us his credence undefiled!
Let us no longer say "Our Dead"
Nor think that those we love have fed.
They are Invisible as we
Shall close our eyes some day, and see.

Has the ancient city of Moscow, Rus
sia, gone down on its knees to the Mer-
chant Jermokoff7 This is the question
now agitating Moscow society. 1t seems
that a subscription for certain charity
was being raised in Moscow, and of the
million rubles required there was a de-
felt of 800, 900. The Mayor bethought
him to make an appeal to rich merchant
of his acquaintance,for the required sum.
He did so; the tirstltime in vain. But
on another visit themerchant said; $50
down on your knees'and beg me to give
you the money" "And why not2" re-
turned the Mayor. Like Lady Godiva,
he sacrificed his pride and gained the
money for the town. And now So
ciety is much concerned to know if
it, honor was lost, and casuists are
arguing on both sides of the question
Moscow has got something to talk about.

The Sandwich Islanders believe, de-
clares the Chicago RTIld, that Kala-
kaua was poisoned by the doctors and
they feel very bitterly toward Colonel
Baker, friend and companion of the
King in his illness, who, they think,
should have made sure that the medicines
administered to him contained no poison
by first taking dose of them himself.
This was duty due to Hawaiian royalty
which the Colonel failed to perform, and
though some very good reasons for it
may be apparent to others, he will never
be able to show the Sandwich Islanders
why he should not have taken the
alleged poison himself and saved the life
of the King.

them. Nearly one hundred and sixty

spent in railway freights, and, figuring
upon basis of 1000, 900 population,
this would make SIG for every man,

sum would pay the national debt, or
supply free education to all the children

The Indians Made Maple Sugar.

That maple sugar has been made by
the Indians from a remote time, accord
ing to Henry W. Henshaw, is shown by
their language, their festivals and their
traditions. They collected the sap in
birch-bark vessels, and eyaporated it by
throwing hot stones into the reservoirs.
They ate the sugar with corn, and boiled
yenison and rabbits in the sap. Some.
times the pure sugar was their only diet
