japanese Fans.


From Japan and America.
1t is pretty generally known. by this time
at least, that there is great deal OF mean
ing in the fans of Japan. Only those who
have read little or nothing about the art
of the kingdom of the rising sun, the latest
and most delightful seat of art, have not
learned that the japanese. like their prede-
cessors the Greeks, use their art in deco
rating only useful things. To the Japanese
the idea of useless adornment is as abhor-
rent as 1t was to the pure and limpid taste
of the Greeks.
1t is inevitable. therefore, that the Japa-
nese, as soon as he began making fans
would ornament them with beautiful and
significant designs, just as the Greek paint
ed that urn which Keats has glorifed and
preserved in his verse for all time-"The
foster child of silence and slow time" The
fans of Japan are beautifully painted, the
work frequently being done by the most
skil.ful artists. who take as much pride in
this work many painters is some preten-
tiouS canvas. An art SO bountiful that it
delights in making immortal treasure out of
belt buckles. sword handles, the sword
blade itself, the screen and even the sheath
Of a fude, or writing brush. would GER
tainly not overlook the splendid possibili-
ties Of the fan. Think of having ones
painting waved like a censor to and fro be-
fore the eyes of beauty! The stimulus was
certainly sufficient. In no form. perhaps
could art be used where 1t would be more
observed, admired and appreciated.

CYCLONES.
The Means of Protection Utilized in
the West.

From the New York Tribune.
Recent disturbances by volcanic eruption
in the Island of Martinique bring out in
full measure the sympathy of the residents
OF the cyclone district of the southwest
The cyclone is by far the worst form of
disaster that visits this country, coming at
unexpected times and dealing death and
destruction in such widespread manner.
When the summer days bring waves of
heat across the stretches of hot sod then
the residents of the prairie west begin to
cast their eyes TO the windward. They are
watching the formation of the clouds, and
he who could not distinguish a cyclone
bank from any other is indeed a tender
foot. Then the cry Of warning Is carried
across the plains, and the members of
every family make for their cyclone Gel
lars. These cellars differ in various COM
munities. The popular cyclone cellars on
the plains Of western Kansas. where
cyclones few years ago were almost a
daily occurrence, are ordinary sod houses
built low and strong.
In the Russian communities of Kansas
these cyclone houses serve as the family
residence the year around. They are about
seven feet high, and built exceptionally
strong. The roofs are slanting, and the
houses are set to the wind, that is the
ends are faced toward the east and west.
In Oklahoma every farm house is backed
up by cave. hole dug into the ground
and covered by an earthen roof Some
farmers have gone so far in protecting
themselves against cyclones that they have
small cannon loaded with salt and buck
shot, which is fired into the whirling
clouds as they approach. This has been
known to turn the course of a storm 1t
is a common event to dismiss school on the
plains of Oklahoma when bank of clouds
begins to rise in the southwest. These
wind and rain storms are becoming more
uncommon every day, and ii is believed
that the planting Of trees and settlement of
the barren sod have had much to do with
1t. Before Oklahoma was thoroughly well
settled dozens of cyclones were report ed
every day in the hot months. The writer
was in Newkirk one day in the early pc
Rod of that towns existence and saw
seven cyclones form in the afternoon. All
of them followed the course of the Arkan-
sas river. and struck in the Usage In

French Cooking Slang.
From the London Globe.


Within the last few decades England has
stumbled into the stupid belief that no din
ner can be served that is not indexed, if
We may use the term. in unintelligble
French. In the most British clubs in the
houses Of the most loyal English, and in
the most modest of our London restaurants,
the menu makes its appearance in a French
dress The poor Briton, who doesn't under
stand word of it, consults a condescending
waiter in a hushed whisper, and silently
mathematics his father for not having
taught him French. But the uncultured
Briton does not know that the most learned
in the French language, nay, the very
French themselves cannot make head or
tail of this same menu. What, for instance
could an Englishman. however versed in
French, understand by 'bombes de Facho-
da,'' which figured in a restaurant menu
some few years ago? Or what a
Frenchman CLEAN of mutton. beef or chick
en- "a la Gallfet?" The truth is. the French
cook has been allowed to play huge prac-
teal joke on the dining world, and it is
high time the world protested. 1t may be
ignominious to apply the language of
Shakespeare and Milton to the affairs of
knife and fork, but even that ignominy is to
be welcomed IL it supplant the WORKOUT
tests of the French cook Nor could a bet
ter time be found for establishing the
English menu on the English dinner table
than coronation year.

MOTHER ON PING-PONG.

ments to a Great Extent.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
81 don't like to be considered oldtimey
and pokey and narrow minded" complained
a hostess the ether day, but the succession
of new games which seem to bewitch young
people nowadays Is really very demoraliz-
ing to the servants. Not that the servants
play. In a country house they don't have
time. But meals are kept waiting or rush

Australians Long Drought.
From the Speaker,


The pastoral situation in Australia is rap
IDLY becoming desperate. Drought upon
drought during the last eight years has
spelt ruin to thousands upon thousands of
able and energetic men engaged in the
sheep and cattle industry. /. The number of
sheep during the last decade has dwindled
to the extent of one-third, viz, from over
120.000.0O0 to under S0,000.000. The losses
of cattle are quite great in proportion
There are many stations in Queensland
where the number of cattle depastured has
fallen from 10000 head or more to less than
1000
Droughts have been felt before. but the
present is the widest spread ever known
Not to mention West Australia which at
the best Is always in a state of semi
drought. the whole country from the west
ern boundary of South Australia, right
across the northern portion of Victoria, to-
gether with most of New South Wales and
Queensland. Is In a pitiable condition. Over
scores of thousands of square miles the
lambing must be a failure and enormous
further losses of grown sheep are now GER
tain. Owing to these continuous droughts
the present clip of wool is the worst on
record. but the next viii be much worse.
