flutter fans. These several exercises
were described infinitely and the time
necessary for learning them mentioned.
Thus unfurling may be learned in a
month; discharging, which, when prop
erly done, results in crack as loud
as the report of pocket pistol" took
longer: while grounding. which merely
included the graceful quilting of the
fan. might be acquired in two days
The masterpieces of the whole exer-
else. however. was fiuttering. This was
so complicated and needed such deli
cacy of handing that the art could be
mastered in not less than three months.
There were many flutters: the angry
flutter. the modest flutter the timorous
flutter, the confused flutter, the merry
fiutter. the amorous flutter. Indeed.
there was scarce any emotion of the
mind which could not produce suit
!! able agitation of the fan.
A fan could be so very angry that Il
would have been dangerous for the alb
sent lover to have come within wind Of
it. and at other times so very languish-
ing that the lover should have heard
its signs. no matter how far away he
might be.
In the eighteenth century, in London,
at places of fashionable resort, gentle
men chose their partners by lottery
of the fan" The fans of all the women
present were placed in a hat. whence
each man had the privilege OF selecting
one. the woman to whom it belonged
becoming his partner for the evening.
OF course. such custom entailed
great study of fans on the part Of the
men.
Leonore d'Estes declared her love by
kissing her fan and throwing 1t to
Tasso. A fan belonging to New York
belle, according to tradition handed
down in the family, was once bartered
for kiss.
Beautiful as fan may be and costly.
if it does not fold it is a thing without
a soul" 1t never has, it never can
have the significance, the language, in
short. the coquetry, that is inherent In
a folding fan. A fan that will not fold
differs from one that does as Priscilla
of Puritan times differs from twen-
tieth century belle.
Flirting with a fan is phrase which
has no meaning with Japanese wo-
man. With her it is not an instrument
of coquetry; there is no flashing OF
fans. no arch motions of attraction or
repulsion: it is not used to veil the
features or suddenly to disclose their
unveiled beauty; but it has. neverthe-
less. a more serious language of its
own. as well as defined uses.
when a man calls on a woman he
always carries small fan in his girdle
sash, which he withdraws as he salutes
her and holds i'm front of him. A pres
ent is offered to a superior in rank by
placing it on the half-opened fan. for
( would be considered rude to offer

THE FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
Milk Inspector Jolly Warns the Local
Milk Men.

AS every one knows who reads the
papers the foot and mouth disease, So
called. has appeared in Massachusetts
and Rhode Island. This is also known
as aphthous fever and is contagious
eruptive disease 1t spreads rapidIy
in a herd after once started and is one
OF the most dreaded perhaps of dis
tempers.
The more prominent symptoms are a
loss of appetite accompanied by very
nigh fever. Then small spots can be
discovered about the inside of the
mouth which develop into pimples and
then into sores. These also appear
about the feet of the animal. The cases
are often so mild that the more COM
mon symptoms are lacking at first, so
that only an expert can tell accurately
what the disease is. The affected ami
mails loose flesh rapidly and in cows the
How of milk is effected.
Prompt measures are being taken to
keep the disease away from the cattle
of the State. There is another danger
in it as persons can take it from cattle,
especially children who drink the milk
of the effected animals. The disease
can also be communicated by the germs
in the clothing of persons coming in
contact with diseased animals so it is
ecessary to watch carefully for the
disease and to take great care i'm hand
ling it. DIR. Jolly. the milk inspector of
the city, and also a member of the
Board of Health, is taking time by the
fOrelOck. He does not fear that the
disease will appear in the State or that
there Is any danger of people contract
ing it from the milk. but believes that
the situation should be understood so
copies of the following letter was sent
to all the milkmen of the city, yester-
day:
"Of!ice of Board of Health.
'Waterville, Me-, Nov. "a, 1902.
Dear Sir: The foot and mouth
disease has made its appearance
among cattle in the states of Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island.
1.-The disease is liable to reach our
State; and if you come in contact with
any suspicious cases, the Waterville
Board of Health wishes you to notify
the milk inspector at once, and an in
vestigaticn will be made free Of charge
to the owner of such suspected animals
Yours very truly,

BEAUTY'S ScEPTRE.
The Fan an Effective Aid to Lovely
Woman.

fan is ever associated with beauty
woman appear more graceful than
when using fan or a piquant woman
more chic or engaging.
The woman of dignified mein and
statuesuue appearance thus employed
has an added dignity; the fiirt makes
eyes with deadlier effect, and even the
ugly woman is improved, for she is able
10 conceal some of her ugliness.
AS to the fan itself, it is either
prudc or a coduette. according to the
nature OF the person who Yields II.
The idea that the fan originated with
Eve i'm the Garden of Eden seems quite
probable, for there is little doubt that

art of using this poem without words

Action for damages on account of a
SANDER claimed to have been uttered
by defendant. The plaintiff claims that
she has always been a chaste woman
and all her life has lived unsupported
of the crime the defendant accused
her of. Plaintiff claims that defendant
called her vile names in the presence
of his wife; and also charged her with
living with Mr.. Norris when she had
never been married to him. Plaintiff
introduced testimony to prove that she
was legally married to Mr.. Norris.
The defendant says that what he did
say was said while in passion, after
an excited discussion with plaintiff in
which she charged him with raising a
bastard. Further, that he did not ac-
cuse her OF living with Mr.. Norris
without having been married to him,
but merely said. on her accusation in
regard to raising bastard: MRS.
Norris. that is not worse than what
people say about you; they say you
