FANS AND POCKETS.
Historical Information Seasoned
 with Timely Hints.
Fans Were in Vogue in the Orient Thou sands of Years Ago-Thrcc Pretty Now elties-Outside Hanging Pock-
 cts in Great Variety.

The origin of the fan can be traced
 to the most remote antiquity. "It is ascribed by some historians to kan-si,
 daughter of a Chinese mandarin, and by others to the sibyl of Cum@, who is said to have used fan during the de- livery of her oracles," History repeats itself. How many of our modern sibyls deliver their oracles while gracefully manipulating their fans. But even long before the days of the sibyl the fan was commonly used in Egypt, as is evident from it's having been painted on the walls of the tombS at Tbe5eS,

where the king Is represented sur rounded by group of fan bearers.
 In Greece traces of the fan have been found as early as 800 E. c. Fans were always popular among the women of Rome, and were often used by the men. At dinner it was common custom for slaves to stand behind the chairs of the guests waving lOng-handled fans. This custom prevailed throughout our south ,ern states during the days of slavery, as it still does to a certain extent. l have often dined in the south where two or three young negresses stood round the table waving long fans made of peacock feathers.
 The medieval fan was made of eagle or peacock feathers in a variety of forms, and fastened with handles of gold, silver or ivory, often set with precious stones of great value.
 Catherine de Medicis is said to have been the first to introduce fan in France, and after her it was generally used. The fan she used could be folded like those of the present day. No court toilet was considered complete without fan, and during the reign of Henry II. and of the Louises fans be- came objects of such luxury that they often cost hundreds of dollars.
 In England fans are less used than in almost any othercountry. In Spain they are so much and so generally used that life would be incomplete to a Spanish woman without her fan. The women of Spain carry on conversations with their fans; they have a regular code of sig .nals which a-si,sesS thais' ideos.-- or rather feelings. In ..Contarinin Elem.

BIRMINGHAM REPEATED.
A Mob Attempts to Lynch Negro Villain at Roanoke, Va, and Is Fired Upon and Many Killed and Wounded.


 at Roanoke, Va, and Is Fired Upon and Many Killed and Wounded.
 ROANOKE, Va, Sept 21.-One of the most dastardly crimes in the history of the city occurred yesterday morning. Mrs. Henry $. Bishop, aged about 50 years, from Cloverdale, miles from this city, was enticed by a colored man named Thomas Smith from the market, where she had come to sell produce, into an empty saloon basement, beaten into insensibility and robbed of her pocketbook, containing less than s2. The fend was captured and lodged in jail.
 A crowd gathered around the jail and kept increasing as night ap- preached. At o'clock the Roanoke Light infantry marched to the jail by orders of Maj. Trout. Guards were posted and the streets in the immedi- ate vicinity cleared. About dark the crowd incre ased by 100 men from the vicinity of the woman's home, headed by Mrs. Bishops son, fireman on the Norfolk & Western railroad. At o'clock portions of the mob bat tered at side door of the jail, where the militia and Mayor Trout had re- tired The shooting was commenc ced by the mob and the mayor shot in the foot. The militia were then ordered to return the fire, and a volley from about twenty-five rifles was poured into the mob. Seven men were killed by this fire and many more wounded some of them fatally.
 During the excitement caused by the volley the prisoner was taken from the jail by an officer and secreted. The dead and wounded were removed to drug store and the offices of nearby physi- clans. The militia then dispersed and left the scene as quickly as possible.
 The following is a list of the dead and injured as far as known at present: Dead-S A. Wick, hotel proprietor Will Sheets, fireman on the N. & w. railroad | Charles Whitmore, conductor on the N. & w. White, shot through the leg and bled to death; W. Jones' engineer on the N & w. railroad; | John w. Mills, distiller, Black Creek l Injured-George Settles.

STUFFED TOMATOES.
Recipe of the French Inventor Who First
 Prepared Them.

Prepared Them.
 It is true that the tomato, like the potato, belongs to the family of night shades; but it draws its color from the rays of the sun, instead of vegctating indarlsness and borrowing in the earth. You get, perhaps, much more nutri- ment from the homely brown tuber than from it's sunny cousin, but when summer is here, and the very fbers cry out for acids and juices, the tomato is so cooling and grateful a vegetable that you lift it from such humble nomenclature and call it fruit. You are hardly content with leaving the to- mato to the salad bowl. You like to make more of it and have more of it. And it lends itself to savoriness with complete success.
 Of the many forms of tomato cook cry stufllrg is the most appetizing.
