 Daddy November held his hat be- tween Fort Sumter and himself, struck match, held the match behind his hat till he had lighted his pipe, and then put the pipe in his mouth and the hat on his head. Then he said:

Morris Polikof, German, bought the place south of the Asahel Dunham farm this spring. He set 50 apple trees, three pear and three quince treee. He is also cultivating the blackberry and straw berry. He has three acres of potatoes, one of corn, one half cucumb bers. He has sown between six and seven acres of buckwheat, also variety of garden vegetables. But here is where he beat the farmers in Berkshire or Litchfield counties. He has one half acre planted to coffee. He brought the seed from Germany and has been successful in raising it here. His place consists of 18a acres of land that has heretofore been barren waste. It is now grow ing these crops as thrifty as any of the heavier soil and I must say it looks as we'll and even better than any I have seen.

The State of Connecticut has legion of good and sufficient reasons to be proud of the legislative session of 1895. Many unjust laws have been repealed and many righteous ones enacted. It has been long and laborious session. but the members have sacrifised their individual comfort and business inter ests and have remained at their post of duty carefully examining and intelh- gently and honestly acting upon the bills presented to them: The student of history will find that it was distin- guished honor to be member of the Connecticut legislature of 1S95,s session in which the members faithfully dis charged their duties and thus honored themselves, their constituents and the stato,

Effect
DAINTY BUT NOT COSTLY
The History Of the Fan and How 1t Was
Used in OIden Times-Court
Ladies We're SchOOlet
Ia It's Use

The newest thing in fans is an echo OF
Che Napoleonic era and of Louis XVI.
The first empire has Influenced ABOUT
everything else Of late, in the way OF
ornamentation and adornment, and it
is rather strange that its effect on fans
has not been shown before. particularly
as the fan was an important adjunct OF
the famous beauties of those days. 1t
was Nine. de Stael who once said OF the
fan that q clever woman could convey
more meaning by it than by any other
inanimate object. Nine. ce Stael was
probably herself an artist in welding the
delicate little bauble and knew by results
whereof she spoke.
1t might be wise to say that the fan is
not the meaningless trifle that many
people imaigne it to be. There are some
incidents showing what it has accom-
plished. During the reign of Charles
X in 1927 the dey of Algiers while dis
cussing affairs of diplomacy with M.
Deval, the French consul, became greatly
enraged, and losing his temper struck
the Frenchman In the face with his fan.
The dey refused to apologize and to
revenge the affront Francs jeclraed war
upon Algiers, which resulted in the sub
1ugation and annexation OF that rich ter
l1tory. =.
Lord Beaconsfield said Of the fan: "In
