WORLDS FAIR FADS.
The Rage for Collecting Souvenirs
Of the Great Exposition.
One Woman Who Even Economical on
Her Meals in Order to Crafty
Her Desire for Column
bian Curios.

An epidemic of fads has set in as a
direct result of the worlds fair. Peo-
pie who had held out long and stoutly
against the temptation to collect
things came under the spell at the
White City, says the New York Sun.
A critical analysis of the fad fever
has yet to be written. 1t is contracted
in various ways. 1t is with fads as it
is with greatness. Some people are
born with fads, some acquire them,
and others have fads thrown upon
them. Of this last variety are the peo-
pie who have, by chance perhaps, re-
ceived a present or presents, which
have subtly inspired them with the
mania for acquiring other things of the
same nature. In this way, for exam
pie, many fine and otherwise admir-
able young woman has, by the gift of
perhaps a single silver spoon, been
transformed into one of the spoon
tiends who have been at once such try
ing, and yet such pathetic, figures dur
ing the past few years.
Other people acquire fads. They
take them up" These are the people
who have more money than they have
tastes. They crafty their small lik
ings without exhausting their "spend
ing money" so to speak, and they
'take up a fad for teapots, or fans, or,
in general, anything that they have
heard some one else is collecting.
And there are the born faddists.
They are the people who have a single
strong fancy or love for something.
The man who collects musical instru-
ments because he cannot help it prob
ably loved them when he was baby,
and the real bibliomaniac doubtless
never had to be reproved when he was
an infant for tearing the leaves of his
picture books.
But the exposition faddists were Gre
ated in still another way. They are
the creatures Of circumstances. Never
were such opportunities for collecting
curiosities presented to the American
public before. 1t is not strange that
the victims have been many. Some
times the merest trifes laid down the
law of the coming fad. For instance,
two New York girls, We're passing
along the Court of Honor, in front of
the Agricultural building. All the
white facades CLEANED in the sunlight,
and troop of Navajo l -dians crossing
the court looked so picturesque that
they soon had a crowd around them.
The two girls pressed through the peo-

gle till they reached the center of the
group, where they suddenly became
lost in admiration of leather culver
full OF arrows worn by one of the In
dams. They priced it at once. The
sum named was so fabulously large
that they relinquished the culver with
sigh. But each girl purchased an ar
row. And, of course, those arrows
were exhibited at the boarding-hous
that night with the remark that they
were purchased from "a real Indian!'
The next day the same young women
were at the Javanese village, when
their eyes fell upon some more arrows.
In a weak moment they yielded, and a
Javanese arrow, bought from a real
Javanese," was placed with the Navajo
weapon. That settled it. Dahomey-
ans, South Sea Islanders, Japanese.
Chinese, every nation which boosted
an arrow, contributed specimen, and
now those two girls are rabid collect
OrS.
A list of the fads which sprung into
life and were nourished into vigor at
the fair would be amusing enough. One
woman who began as mere joke, to
purchase two or three of the ''souven-
!rs' which were for sale in almost
infinite variety, finally became such a
full-hedged collector, that she econo-
mized on meals, walked instead of
rode, and finally took cheaper room
n order to make her souvenir collec-
zion as complete as possible. She had
nothing which did not bear the words:
Columbian Exposition or: Worlds
Fair" or some other reference to the
fair. Everything, from little red
glasses with the name engraved while
you wait" silk handkerchiefs with a
picture of Columbus woven in them
also while you wait" to canes con-
tanning maps of the grounds, souvenir
coins and models of the buildings,
were put into collection which is
really most interesting one, although
of scarcely any intrinsic value.

THE BRIDAL WREATH.
Materials of Which the Emblem Is Gen
orally Made.


orally Made.
No wreath has been so sung by poets
and rhymesters as that which graces
the head of the bride on her wedding
day, says the New York Advertiser,
and in most countries the myrtle is
closely associated with the bridal
wreath. The latter has become a sym
Dol of true womanliness, of purity of
mind and soul, and even Schiller is
among those who have sung its praises.
In the time of the Old Testament the
Jews saw in the myrtle a sign of what,
for them, was most beautiful and
precious-the promised land for which
they were always longing. Later on,
among the Greeks, the myrtle and the
rose were considered the favorite flow
ers of Venus, the goddess of love, and
gardens of myrtle were planted in her
honor, with beds of roses, the red rose
and the green myrtle representing the
union of love and virtue. Nowadays
the myrtle has, however, several rivals.
In America, in England, in France and
in Poland the orange blossom reigns
supreme; in Italy the white rose has
taken the place of evergreen and
fragrant myrtle wreath. In Spain the
red rose and in Portugal the .carnation
have supplanted it. In many parts of
Germany there are several distinct
customs to be observed. The sprigs
from which the wreath shall be twined
must in some places be taken at fixed
hour of the night between certain holy
days. In some countries or districts
the veil is used without the wreath.
In the province of Dalarne, in Sweden,
the bride wears a white cloth round
her head, and in several countries the
bridal wreath has, in the course Of
time, taken the shape of a more or less
elaborate headgear or wedding crown.
This is the case in Norway and in
several places in Germany. In Alien
burg it takes the shape of red velvet
cap, round which run thirteen silver
rings, from which are suspended a
number of silver and gold plates and
coins. A veil and a profusion of float
ing silk ribbons in gay colors complete
the bridal crown. In Denmark the
myrtle is universally used for bridal
wreaths, together with long white
veil. Many families possess myrtle
trees, which have for quite genera
ton or more furnished the myrtle
wreaths for the brides of the family.

MARIE ANTOlNETTE'S REFUGE.
Edgecomb, Me-, Was to Have Been the
Home of the Exiled Princess.

Edgecomb, Me-, Was to Have Been the
Home of the Exiled Princess.
: There is building in Edgecomb, an
old square, white house, concerning
which an interesting story is told,
says the Lewiston Journal. This ira
dition Is that at the time of the French
revolution Capt. Samuel Clough, the
owner of the house, who sailed ship
between Maine and France, was en-
gagged to bring to this country no less
valuable treasure than the unfortu-
nate queen, Marie Antoinette, and
that quantities of rich stuffs, furni-
ture and silver were put aboard his
ship for the use of the exile, whose
destination was to have been this
same house, which then stood in West
port, it having been removed to the
main land on raft sixty years ago. 1t
is yet occupied by Capt. Coughs de-
scendants.
One circumstance which lends con-
firmation to this story is that a similar
legend attaches to house in Dorches-
ter, Mass, the famous Swan mansion,
then owned by Col. Swan, who spent
much of his time in Paris, but who set
tied permanently in this country after
the French revolution, his house being
adorned in princely fashion. Now
Capt. Clough and Col. Swan had money
dealings together in Paris, Capt
Clough in 1894 having had contract
to purchase fifty thousand dollars
worth of lumber for the colonel.
What more likely than that Col. Swan,
who was warm friend of Lafayette,
should have engaged the Maine cap
tain to aid him in a plan of such great
importance as the attempted rescue
of the French queen, with which he is
credited.

IN ANCIENT TIMES.

THE Roman characters were first
used in types at Rome in 1857.
THE Greek garments were frequent
ly woven in gorgeous patterns and
embroidered with gold and silver.
AUGUSTUS was not the public bene-
factor he is represented. He was the
most eXacting tax collector the Roman
world had up to his time ever seen.
THE ancient Philippians sailed the
bodies of their dead and hung them up
in smokehouse to be dried and cured.
They were thus kept for year, when,
perfectly preserved, they were turned
over to the relatives for burial.

A Poets Good Fellowship

Stories of John Boyle OReilly's good
fellowship and generosity are still cur
rent in Boston. A stranger mistakiEg
him for friend approached him from
behind, slapped him on the shoulder,
and greeted him as Jack with all the
warmth of lifelong friendship.
O'Reilly turned to face very embar-
raised man and said, holding out his
hand: S'I'm not Jack, but I'm glad to
know and be the friend Of any man
that is as glad to see his friend as you
seem to be-" While O'Reilly was read
ing one of his poems after semi-pub-
lie dinner, and, as usual, was deeply
absorbed in the task, a negro waiter
walked across the floor with creaking
shoes. O'Reilly, much annoyed, stopped
and addressed half dozen bitter words
to the chairman. The waiter was
thoroughly unhappy at the incident,
and guest who left the table after the
poem was finished found O'Reilly in the
hall humbly apologizing to the negro
and thrusting hve-dollar bill into his
hand.

NEW USES FOR TURF.

It Is Now Made INTO Paper, and Also
Into Cloth.
Paper is being manufactured from
straw, wood, corn stalks and innunler-
able other articles. Now M. Beau
snont, Frenchman, comes forward and
proposes to employ turf in the manu-
facture of fabrics, and that, too, with
out previous spinning. Among the
methods said to be practical for this
purpose, one consists in taking turf OBJ
tanned and prepared by any convenient
process, and of a staote Of fiber suitable
for working, and twisting it either by
rowing or rolling, SO as to give it the
appearance of coarse cord, and this
rove is afterward woven SO as to form
q fabric of it adapted for use as carpet
Ing, jacketing for steam pipes and boil
ers, packing cloth, etc.
Another method consists in forming
with the fibers of turf a sort Of wad-
ding Of any thickness whatever,
adapted to the kind of fabric to be
produced, and then quilting it so as to
form squares or any kind of designs,
or figures, or even without symmetry
or regularity; this quilting firmly unites
the constituent fibers of the wadding,
converting the latter into true cloth,
which is both thick and flexible, and
adapted for use in the manufacture of
covers of all kinds, wrappers, etc.

MYSTERY OF THE SUN.
Something That Science Has Thus Far
Failed to Fathom.


Well might McPhersons ancient and
half mythical Gaelic poet. speaking,
eighteen hundred years ago, from the
mists on his stormy hills, wonder at
and rejoice in the sun, says the Hart
ford Times. Nor has Ossian's early
question ever yet been answered.:
s'Whence are thy beams, 0 Sun! thy
everlasting light?" Modern science has
wrought damaging discussions about
the reality of alleged miracles" and
done much to establish the universal
reign of inviolable law; but of all mira
Giles, what greater one is there than the
calm persistence, through SO many mil
lions of years, of this unfail ing fount
of light and warmth? We no longer
deny or question the doctrine of Kant
and La Place concerning the origin OF
our family of planets-for science adj
mits the truth of the conclusion, that
one after another, but at vast ages
apart, they were thrown off from the
sun-once nebulous object filing all
! the space to the farthest verge of Nep-
tunes orbit land perhaps farther), and
then slowly condensing body, from
which the planet Mercury, or possibly
still nearer one to the sun, was the
last to be thrown off, each and all
obeying the ornnipotent magnetic law
that compels every planet to circle
around the parent orb-the controlling
center ever keeping, like an earthly
parent, his youngest child nearest to
him. But science has not yet told us
how the central magnet perpetuates it's
infinite stores of light and warmth.
Ossian's question is question still.
; Sometime perhaps the advance of
science will give us some knowledge of
the actual nature and condition of that
governing orb Of our solar system.
