caligraphers, both in ancient and modern
times, have embellished important fans

NOR are the texture and embroideries less
admirable. Perhaps the most brilliant
and glittering fans are those on which
powdered or faxed mica was applied, or
the Chinese lacquer decorated with beaten
gold and silver.
Not only as thing of beauty was the
ian used. In ancient Egypt it was the
emblem of royal authority, and in Mexico
the God Of Paradise of the Tolteques, and
Totec, the military founder of the Mexican
monarchy, were represented by holding a
flabellum Of feathers in their hand In
the Hawaiian Islands, from the most
ancient times to the present day, the fan
has been an emblem of royal authority.
From symbol of royalty, the fan has
become necessary appendage of the rich
and high born The custom, however, of
applying it in keeping alive the sacred
fire, or in Offering sacrifice survived and
was adapted to the ceremonies of the first
christian. church.
When the use of wine in the Holy Com
munion was discontinued, about the four
teenth century, the f1abellum ceased to be
used In the communion services, but in
all public solemnities it was an impress
sive feature. During the time of Gregory
VIII, 1t was carried in all public process
sions but only waved when the Pope sat
still, as his action when moving was
deemed sufficient to keep away all evil
spirits. In the Greek and Armenian
church services, the fabellum is said to
be still in use.
| There seems to be great difference of
| opinion as to the time when fans were in
troduced into France. 1t must have been
in general use about the fourteenth cen
fury as it is mentioned under the name OF
esmonchoir in many of the inventories OF
the court. The inventory of Charles v. OF
France, made in 1880, mentions a folding

lie can throw down the gauntlet to
the high tariff republicans in the
Fifty-seventh congress, demanding a
so per cent. tariff reduction on Gu

American sentiment will support the
president in such a stand. The high
tariff plotters against n helpless little
people and the good name OF the
United States government will not
dare to consummate their conspiracy
If President Roosevelt thus deiies
them and brings the fight into the

president to do this. The presidents
known convictions urge him as well

now is that of the presidents cour-

stituents who presumed TO think that
the Dingley tariff was not the most
perfect work ever struck of by the
brain of man have been fittingly re-
buked by that statesman. Gen. Hem
derson warns them that any attempt
at revision will open up the whole
field and thus put serious check
on the business of the country" "Ihe
moment the country understands that
there is to be revision OF the tar
iff." he continued. "jobbers .vill sus-
pend large purchases, hoping to buy
at lower prices. This will compel the
manufactures to reduce his business.
and this will compel n reduction OF
the pay rolls, and serious business
calamity might cnsue."
When times are hard the tariff can
not be reduced; because II follows,
according to the best republican
logic, that the industrial stagnation
is caused by too little tariff When
tim@ are good the tariff cannot be
reduced, because that would bring
about hard times. Therefore, the
tariff may not be reduced at all.
The thing to do is to keep increas-
ing it. One can readily understand

President Roosevelt has so fine an
opportunity for test OF strength

and sense of justice will fail him at

Their game is 10 compel Cuba 10
choose between starvation and an
nexation. They ara playing the game
to a ruthless finish.
The high-tariff republicans of the
house ways and means committee,
in refusing TO bring i'm a bill for the
relief of Cuba. have apparently
strained the patience of the American
people beyond the point OF endur-

complishing the annexation OF Cuba
by the foulest of means, the break

there are about $50 that will be
