How Fans Were Invented.

The following Chinese legend &C.
counts for the invention of the fan In
a rather ingenious fashion: The beau
tiful Kan-Si, daughter of a powerful
mandarin, was assisting at the feast
of lanterns, when she became over
powered by the heat and was COM
PEELED to take off her mask. As it was
against all rule and custom to expose
her face, she held her mask before It
and gently fluttered 1t to cool herself
The court ladies present noticed the
movement, and in an instant 100 of
them were waving their masks. From
this incident, 1t is said, came the birth
of the fan, and to-day 1t takes the
place of the mask in that country.

Terms that Mean Little.

The following are few mistaken
terms which mean anything but what
they seem to mean:
Cayenne pepper, for instance, is pre-
pared not from a pepper plant, but from
capsicum.
Jerusalem artichokes do not come
from Jerusalem. The plant is not ma
tive of the Holy land.
Turkeys do not come from Turkey.
The bird Is native of America.
Camers-hair brushes are made from
the soft, bushy tail OF the common
squirrel.
German silver Is not silver at all, but
an alloy of various baser metals, which
was invented in China and used there
for centuries. An injustice is done to
Germany in calling the cheap, but use
full, wooden-cased clocks she has SO
long produced Dutch. The mistake
arises from the German word for Ger
man--"Deutsch."
Cork legs are not constructed Of cork
neither did they come from the city
of that name. The usual material for
cork leg is weeping willow, covered
with rawhide.
People with or without cork legs
sometimes pride themselves they are
wearing porpoise hide boots. So-called
porpoise hide is In reality the skin of
the white whale.
Irish stew is not Irish, but an English
dish; and Turkish baths did not origin
ate in Turkey, but in Russia.
Cleopatra's needle has nothing to do
with Cleopatra, but was set up about
/ 900 years before that lady was born.

The Worlds Ideal of a Wife.

Some women who are to marry pro-
fessional men study medicine or law,
or even theology, in order to be able
to sympathize intelligently and help
fully with the spiritual or Intellectual
pursuits of the husband to be, and in a
way supplement the gyrations Of his
brain with her own, and thus lay broad
and deep the foundation for super
happy married life. To be wholly alb
sorbed in him, even to making self-ef-
facement the stepping stone and high
way for his success, stands everywhere
and for all time the worlds ideal of
wife. But when man so devotes him
self to his wife he Is nobody's ideal of
= husband. While women are proud
to be known as the wife of a distin-
guished man, no man is pleased to be
noticed or accepted on the ground of
being the husband of a distinguished
woman.-Mary Wager Fisher In the
Woman's Home CompahicH.

Dinner Etiquette.

The correct time to arrive at dinner
is five minutes before the appointed
hour, not one moment later. The ques-
tion of leaving after dinner when there
are several guests, and one particular
y-distinguished one, is settled by the
distinguished guest, who must make
the first move, says the New York Her.
aid. That should not be more than an
hour after dinner Is over. In case of
being the only guest, 10 or 1890 O'clock
Is quite late enough to stay. There Is
no rule OF etiquette more strict than the
one which demands that dinner call
should be made within a week, and 1t
should be a call in person, not merely
the sending of card.

How to Tell Linen.

There is nothing SO difficult to judge
as table linen no fabric where adulter-
alton or exact qualities are SO difficult
to discern. In other than high-grade
establishments where one must depend
upon personal judgment for the purity
of fabric, there are few points to
keep in mind Pure linen is hard and
slippery, never soft and pliable. Ii a
moistened finger be applied to an all
linen cloth the moisture will at once
appear on the other side, whereas in
mixed goods it will appear slowly or
not at ali. The fax color is always
noticeable In linens, and every woman
should learn to recognize 1t or its alb
sence.

They Have Hard Service.

The French foreign legion, which IL
again the subject Of Partisan political
gossip, offers about the hardest mill.
fury service in the world, and no one
who knows enters 1t until he las ex-
hausted all other means Of support or
wishes to bury himself. Men of all ma
lions are in its ranks, many of them
hard characters criminals and Jail
birds, and it is always sent by France
to do the dirty work which that coun-
try naturally does not choose to i'm
pose upon Its own children.
Thus 1t has held the frontiers of the
African colonies, where every now and
then a post Is cut to bits by wild
Arab tribe. The fever-infested por-
tions of Cambodia and Indo-C China,
which Lott has described, have also
been the scene of Its exploits. The
discipline, too, Is most severe. Flog-
ging is a daily occurrence and capital
punishment is the result OF the most
trivial offenses. Thus the cases of in
sanity in the legion are of much
larger number than In any other
branch of the French service. A ply
stefan who has been studying the in
sanity of the legionaries says that a
majority of the cases are well devel-
oped when the men enlist, since few
sane men would ever accept the condl-
tons known to exist In this corps. He
adds that in his opinion many men
shot for breaches of discipline were
not mentally responsible.

TRAIN THE BOYS TO BE MEN.

o. OYS need more masculine care
JSand intercourse than they get tn, IN
- early life. At least this Is true
In many families. The boys grow up
with their sisters, in charge OF nurse
or goyerness, the mother often loves
them mot wisely but too WE'LL ana III
early schooldays the boys are subject 10
women teachers exclusively.
Too much of this sort OF thing makes
the boys feminine or weak In some re-
spects. They must have male compan-
ionshlp, and II they are too jealousy
guarded against "associating with pad
boys" they are sure to do just thaI
thing, usually with the result reared
by the fond mother. Half dozen let
tiers from mothers complain Of just this
outcome, but all of these letters indi-
cate that the real trouble was as above
indicated.
The father Is usually to blame, In
part, because he "leaves the children
to the women folks" The schools are
to blame because wages are 80 low that
only female teachers are employed, ex-
cept in the higher grades. My plea Is
for more assoclating of boys with fel-
lows of their own age, and still more
with men. or course my sons are thus
certain to come In contact with DAD
boys, and perhaps evil men, but II l
can 20 with them occasionally and II
SO possess their trust that my sons Will
freely talk with me about their asso-
ciates and experiences, the outcome Is
to strengthen their character.-Good

Patent leather shoes may, it is said,
be beautifully cleaned and also pre-
served from cracking by the use of
French harness polish which may be
bought at any harness makers. Most
shoe dealers will admit that there is a
great deal of luck in buying these shoes,
and that their durability depends large
ly on the care with which they are
treated. Cold or dryness cracks them.

containing hank remitances. drafts and
money orders TO the amount Of 5000. was
missed By the agent when he loaded the
mail onto the train at Enid.
During the afternoon or evening the
sack was cut open and the contents rihed.
The case was reported to the postofice
department and Inspector R. N c. Hos
ford Of Wichita went at once TO the scene
70 investigate. The contents Of the sack
we're found under box-car on a switch
and nearly everything was recovered.
Two checks were still missing, however.
and one OF them was found after the
criminal was caught
inspector Hosford. after investiga ting
the case thoroughly found that a brake
man living in Caldwell. and who has
been working on the road running south
from that point. was the guilty one. The
mans name is Geo. O'Brien. MI Hos
ford, after searching for him located him
at Chickasha. J. T. The evidence that
he had obtained against the man was
very conclusive and so he was brought 10
Enid and given 4 preliminary hearing
before the United States court at that
place, after which he was IN default OF
bail and sent to Guthrie to await the
action Of the grand jury. which meets De-
cember 16. next. Mr.. O'Brien. however.
seeing that the case against him was
very strong, and that he had no chance
to clea himself, confessed the robbery
to Inspector Hosford yesterday afternoon.
He stated that he had hidden part of the
mail in Z car that was on the switch on
that day. Efr. OBrien had headed for
New Orleans. and If given q few hours
more time would have given the officers
merry chase.
The only things he secured that he
could use were two money orders. One
was for $3.50 and the other for s276. The
disposal Of the first one led 10 his dis
covery. He had been in q saloon gamb-
ling and had lost SO. He sold one Of the
checks TO the saloon keeper ard started
on his way when he was arrested. The
other draft is still unaccounted for. Now
that the man has confessed. the only
thing that remains to be done is 10 re-
cover the mail as far as possible and
then when the grand jury meets in De
