Governor Gooding has desic,
mated Wednesday, June Ia, Of
Flag Day." just Why any one
day should be more OF a flag dav
than another we are Mt d loss to
understand. The flag represents
the government and patriotism
OF our country, and patriotism
should be present at all times
and NIL places. The flag IL simp-
" a symbol, and is not an OBJ
lect OF worship. The stars and
stripes stand for liberty, and
equality before thelaw, and these
prime principles should be held
sacred by every true American
every day IN the wear; but the
growing tendency toward flag
worship is repugnant to Amer
lean ideas, and the spirit OF
American institutions. Let us
preserve our principles inviolate
n all places and ut all times. but
ct us not bow down before nm
manage one day in the year and
orget what that immage repre-
'ents the other three hundred
md sixty.four.

The Fan In EgyDt,


In Egypt the fan was not only an
emblem of royalty, but also of happi-
ness and heavenly rest. The oldest
Egyptian fan now extant is preserved
in the museum of Bulak and is said
to have belonged to the Queen Aah-
Hotep and is consequently nearly thir-
ty-five centuries old The crown and
wooden handle of this curiosity are
covered with thin plates of gold, and
all around the former at equal inter-
walls are small holes. in which the nod
ding ostrich plumes were once inserted.
A long handled screen fan is repre-
scented in the triumph of King Horus
Q400 B. c., and the wall paintings at
Medinah Habon show that Rameses
was attended by twenty-three princes,
each bearing an elegant screen fan and
rejoicing in the sounding title of fan
bearer on the left hand of the king"
Fans were also used in Egypt for reli-
gious ceremonies, for Isis priests held
long handled fans made of the wings
of a bird and somewhat resembling
the Greek caduceus. From Egypt end
the far east fans soon found their way
into Greece, where the first specimens
assumed the shape of acacia. plantain
or lotus leaves. but in later years the
ladies showed marked preference for
gorgeous peacock feather fans.
