Nobody in America has quite mastered
the art of folding fans. That difficult art
has been developed best in the fine French
fans that are for sale at prices ranging
from $50 to 500 apiece. In folded fan
the edges Of all the sticks should be paral.
lei and even, the shoulders should be OF
equal height. aud the silken body should
be snugly and evenly disposed within the
inclosing sides. a French fanmaker,
unique among his fellows, having mastered
the whole art Of fanmaking, came to this
country not many years ago and was EN-.
ployed by famous firm 10 make fans. He
took charge 81 a factory and was told to go
ahead. lie was supplied with Skilled work
men and not uncomfortahly limited as to
expenditure.
For few years the factory turned out
excellent fans. Even the folding was well
done Then the head workman died. and
it was feared that with him had almost
persisted the art Of fan folding in this
country, but he left his secret behind him.
Ii was very simple secret, the tools being
primitive enong 30 and the process apparent
ly not difficult, bat as the whole art lies
in the delicate manipulation that comes Of
long practice. his place has never really
been filed by those TO whom he impaired
his secret.
Fan painting Of the finer kind is almost
as little practiced in this country as far
folding. The same firm hatemployed the
French workman sought high and low in
New York for fan painter until a young
woman with undoubted artistic genius
was found. She had just sold painting fol
large sum, and she WAS asked to paint
three fans. No limitations in regard tc
subject. time or price were fixed. In the
course Of time the work was done, but ii
never saw the light. Her genius was not
for fan painting.-New York sun.

II is indeed hard to believe that the
little caravel Of 240 tons at the outside
could have made such a voyage, and
when one compares it with the large
sailing vessels Of today be may well be
incredulous. With the achievements
of steam and practical science we are
tolerably familiar, but the fact then
Though sailing vessels antedate written
history, the progress therein since l4s2
is as great as in anything else comes to
one as a great surprise. Compare the
little Santa Maria with, for instance,
the magnificent Shenandoah, the Ameri-
can four masted bark and queen of all
sailing vessels, which a few months ago
went from San Francisco TO Liverpool
with 5000 tons of wheat on board.
Consider first the big sailer. The
Shenandoah, commanded by Captain
Murphy, was one of the five which left
the Bay Of San Francisco last year on
the famous race around the Horn. They
sailed at high tide, Of necessity, as they
drew twenty-seven feet Of water. Inc
weight Of wheat aboard, 5,002 tons, was
the greatest cargo Of the kind ever
placed in a vessel and equivalent Z

that is, the sails are pulled into place
by little donkey engine, and Of all
glorious sights to the seaInan's eye there
is none more glorious than TO see hel
swell from bare poles to full rig Of
snowy sails in less than FIVE minutes.
The Santa Maria might have been
placed on the deck of the Shenandoah
without adding perceptibly TO her
weight of cargo. She was decked yes

not deal in exact measurements they are
so minute in details Of her capacity that
her size is known. Captain Gustavus

CHICAGO. July ia lively CORE
spondence is going on between General
passenger Agent Sebastian, OF the Rock
Island road, and Chairman Caldwell, of
the Western Passenger association. A
resolution adopted few days ago by
the Western lines limits to continuous
passage the return portions of tickets
issued by them on account of the Chris
tan EndeavOr and national educational
conventions in New York and Saratoga,
making it compulsory for the holders of
tie tickets to take passage OH trains
west of Chicago within two days after
such tickets are stamped by the trunk
line agent in the East.
In a letter to the chairman today Mr..
Sebastian says that the position taken
by Vlce-Chairman Donald. of the Cen
tral Traffic association, is evidently the
correct one. The position is that the
Eastern roads had waived the restric-
lions III honoring the tickets of West
ern connections to New York and that
the same privileges should he accorded
returning passengers. In his reply to
tins the chairman reminds the Rock
Island that it had it in its power to pre-
vent the adoption of the resolution by
voting against it at the time it was in
troduced. Having failed to oppose the
action at the proper time it was not now
In position to set it aside, except in
the manner provided by the agree
ment. The Rock Island, he says, will
be held to strict account for any acts it
may take contrary to existing legisla-
ton on the subject.
MIR. Sebastian says his company Will
either allow stop-over privileges or send
the passengers to Chairman Caldwell
for redress.

turbance and disease. Take the case of
Mrs. Q. E. Prescott, who resides at s
Worcester street, Cambridgeport, Mass.
Mrs. Prescott Says that she had had
nervous headaches of the worst sort ever
since she could remember. And she
would have continued to have them but
for the discovery of Prof. Phelps, of
Dartmouth college.
Says Mrs. Prescott. speaking of the
remarkable benefits she has received:
"There is nothing like Paine's celery
compound. 1t has helped me wonder
fully. For more than five years [ have
been troubled with constipation. Nv
heart was so weak that [ could not do
any kind of work without a terrible
throbbing. Ever since | can remember

marvellous amount of good that want
others to know of its value"
Thousands of women have had the
same experience, and hundreds of them
have gratefully acknowledged the Dene-
hts they have received from this famous
compound, in letters like the above to
Wells, Richardson & Co. They owe a
great debt to the genius of Dartmouth's

OMAHA, Neb., July 19.-The session
of the interstate commerce commission
in Omaha was very short and apparent
ly valueless. CIV. Varney, of Lincoln,
appeared before the commissioners. He
was placed under oath and his testi-
mony was that upon numerous occa-
sions during the past year Reynolds
Bros, of Toledo; Gill d Fisher, of Bal
tlmore, and other heavy export firms,
have paid more for grain than it was
worth by from two to four cents, after
deducting the published freight rate
from the prices paid in New York.
"These men have paid so much per
ILL.,, ana time and again they have paid
two TO four cents more than we could
get in New York." said Mr.. Varnev.
Now, it is perfectly plain to a man in
the grain business that these firms must
have had an inside rate. If they had
not. then they lost money, and we all
know that men do not engage in the
grain business simply to throw money
away. This scheme in shipping
via Chaplin, ILL.,, is another in
dication that there was a Sc
cret understanding between the
Wabash road or the lines interested and
the firms in the deal. We grain men
are thoroughly convinced that the rail
roads have been comforting favors upon
these Eastern buyers and we would like
TO see>the exact facts in the case laid

turned over to Capt. Day, of the central sta
