Capt. Valiant is in charge OF the light

magnetism in his Friday evening lectures
have attracted the attention of Christian

from ministers and others to speak at gath

years Capt. Valiant was one Of the lead
ing business men OF this city. Ministers
and laymen declare he Is doing much good
work under the Homeward Bound banner.
In the course Of his lecture last night
on Hope" he depicted the condemned
murderer ''in the shadow OF the grim
scaffold living in hope Of reprieve and
finally going down to his death In despair.

QUEEN v1cToR1A's FAN.
Use Of the Fan by the Church-Some
Of the Earliest Makers.

Of the Earliest Makers.
From the London Standard.
The Fenmakers Company. by whom the
lord mayor and sheriffs are entertained this
evening, may or may not know 1t. but they
owe the prosperity-indeed, the very exist
ence-of their calling to our little allies the
Japanese. The folding fan originated In the
land Of the rising sun thirteen centuries
ago, and was modelled, II tradition speaks
truly, upon the wing of the bat.
We did not get the idea directly from
Japan. It passed through China, ana. very
long afterward, through italy, Spain and
France to us. The non-folding fan Is, OF
course. as old as the history OF church and
court, and had an important place In the
paraphernaIia Of both in Assyria ana
Egypt.
Anciently in the church the fan was en-
ployed to brush away flies from the sacreo
vessels. and in the professions OF tome . . aa
pabella of peacock feathers still has place.
Fanmaking is still an important industry
in Paris. but the articles now produced 90
not compare for beauty with the products
of the eighteenth century. when goldsmitns,
Jewellers metal workers, carvers and artists
combined to make fans which TO-DAY are
worth fabulous prices.
Probably the strangest fan ever USED was
that employed one evening by queen VIC
toria At signal from the queen the COM

ball room. Leaning on the arm OF the
Prince Consort, her majesty entered the

The Mysteries Of Sleep.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's weekly.
1t is related of Chinese merchant who
was convicted of wife murder and SEN
fenced to die by being deprived of sleep
that he was placed in prison with guards
changed hourly for the purpose of prevent
ing him from sleeping. After the COM
mencement of the eighth day his suffering
was SO intense that he implored the authori-
ties to strangle, guillotine, burn him, drown
him. garrote, shoot, quarter, blow up with
gunpowder or put him to death In any con-
ceivable way.
Natural sleep has been defined as mental
rest produced by an appetite resulting from
fatigue. But the idea that mental rest
means mental inaction Is hardly tenable,
inasmuch as 1t quite frequently happens
that the solution of unsolved problems Is
the first thing to appear In the conscious
ness on awakening, and thus the mind must
have been operative while asleep
1t Is commonly supposed that the great
est depth of sleep occurs about the end
OF the first hour. This, however, is not
invariably the rule, according to my own
observations In the Cook County (Chicago)
Insane Asylum, made some years ago, when
l spent two successive nights in hourly
testing the depth of sleep by light, sound
and touch. A majority of the ten cases I
had under observation showed the greatest
depth to be at about 3 am. More recently
Drs. Sante de Sanctis and N. Neyros. at
the University of Rome, tested the depth
of sleep In four normal persons by pres
sure upon the temple. One of these showed
the greatest depth of sleep In the second
and fifth hours, while the others showed
the greatest depth between the first and
second hours.
Talking in sleep is more common than is
generally supposed. Armstrong and Child
found In 200 students, between the ages of
twenty and thirty years, that Al per cent
OF the men and 81 per cent of the women
talked In their Sleep and most OF them
could answer questions.

only the medicine men but the people
claim 10 hold communion with the Chindi
or spirits of their ancestors. They are
also great believers In omens, talismans
and amulets, but are very conservative
and 1t is with. difficulty that one gets
them to discuss things supernatural. They
will not talk about God among their own
people with familiarity, and scarcely at
all with the white man.

The Wife's Method.

From Tit-Bite
The other evening as a muscular person
was passing a house lady who stood at
the gate called out to him:
'Sir. appeal to you for protection
Whats the NATTER" he asked as he
stopped short.
There's a man in the house, and he
wouldn't go out of doors when / ordered
him to-"
He wouldn't. eh7 Wen see about that"
Thereupon the man gave the woman his
coat to hold and rushed into the house.
He found man at the supper table and
took him by the neck, and remarked, Mice
style of gentleman you are Ell? Come out
O. this or I'll break every bone in your
body"
The man fought. and 1t was not until a
chair had been broken and the table upset
that he was hauled out by the legs and
given a fling through the gates
NOW then, you brass faced old tramp
you move on, or I'll finish you"
Tramp Tramp" shouted the victim as
he got up I'm no tramp! I own this
property and live in this house."
You DOR
Yes. and that's my wife holding your
coat"
Thunder whispered the muscular man,
as he gazed from one to the other, and
realized that 1t was the wife's method OF
finishing a row she had been having with
her husband And then he made q grab
for his coat ana disappeared into the dark
ness.

Know Thy Country.
From Cent Per Cent.


JuvenaI said: "This precept descends
from heaven: know myself" To this we
add-know thy country. Know its area. its
population. Its products, native and exclu-
sive, agricultural and mineral know Its
present output and its possibilities; know its
states its territories and large cities, and
what they are severally noted for; know Its
geography and topography; its constitution,
policies and history: its literature. its art
and its sciences; IT'S philosophy discoveries
and inventions Know its relation to other
nations. both political and financial. Know
It's possessions-A1aska, Hawaii, Porto Rico
and the Philippines. their history severally,
the customs and languages of their people,
and the sources of their wealth. Many
men know these things now, and love
their country and are serviceable to their
fellow citizens in proportion to their knowl-
edge. 1t costs labor and the sacrifice of
so-called pleasure to acquire this knowl-
edge, but to the genuinely manly man,
whose hfe's purpose is to make the ut
most of his abilities and opportunities. and
who In one way and another is developing
his country's hidden treasures and impart-
ing his own practical enthusiasm to other
lives, there is a relish and delight in the
search for knowledge that compensates a
thousand fold.

Knowing Old Songs.
From the Columbus Journal


The other night large audience started
to sing America" The people had no
books, but ventured on memory alone.
The first verse came out strong. The sec
ond verse dropped in volume. half or
more; and the third verse dwindled to
few struggling voices; thenceforward the
song closed with solo by the organist,
who had the book before him.
1t is SO with all our patriotic songs.
Hardly anybody knows 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner" Columbia" or the Red. White
and Blue" except probably the first verse.
It Is q great reflection our patriotism
or our mental equipment that we are SO
scant on these noble songs We think the
people are growing worse In this regard;
the fact being that nothing Is committed
to memory these days 1t looks very much
as If memory was going. too-going with
the patriotism of which it is SO necessary
q part.
This is not the case with our patriotic
songs only; we know none of the other
beautiful songs by heart-thats a good
phrase for memory, "by heart" indicating
such love for them as will ever keep
them in mind. Who knows Lead, Kindly
Light" Come Ye Disconsolate," or Just
as I Am"-more than the first verse. If, in
deed, that securely? Who can sing Annie
Laurie" 1.-THE Suwanee River" Violets'
of other of the really beautiful airs that
everybody likes and wants sung again and
again.
Take a little company, out riding or
sailing, or gathered on the veranda Of a
summer night, when 1t wants to sing and
starts out on even "Suwanee River" the
most popular of all songs, then observe
how nearly all the voices begin humming
at the second verse. Even in soldiers
reunion, Marching Through Georgia" or
"Tenting on the Old Camp Ground" the
sweetest of all army songs, dies away into
the air before the first verse is finished.
Well, what of it? This: there is great
deal of fine sentiment in these songs that
our hearts need, and there are many occa-
sions when we can make use of them for
happy societys sake.
