Princess Mas Fan.

NJ Jules Claretie tells pretty story
about the first use OF the fan In
France as an implement of coquetry.
In prehistoric days. he says, when
France was peopled by fire worship
ers, the king of what is now Paris
was the father OF princess Of great
beauty. Princess Mia II was her duty
to watch over the sacred fire and coax
ii into flame with her fan when 1t was
dying down. One day she had forgot
ten her fan and blew upon the cinders
OF the fire. 1t leaped up toward
her, and ever afterward refused to
brighten except when the Princess
blew upon IT, On the day when she
discovered this the princess used her
fan to hide her bushes, for she un-
derstood the secret of the holy fire,
which had become enamoTed of her
charms.

COLLEGE MEN KISS EACH OTHER.
JOY and Sympathy Among the Students
at Leyden University.

II Is interesting TO be at Leyden
when examinations are going on.
Groups OF friends gather together In
the small court entrance to await the
result, and when student comes
down the stairs with happy face his
friends give joyous shouts, fling their
arms about him, frankly kiss both
sides Of his face, and With arms en-.
locked they march of to celebrate at
some cafe the great good fortune OF
their friend
If the poor fellow comes stumbling
down the stairs, half blinded by his
tears, the friends gather about him
with expressions Of sympathy; EN-
bracing him and kissing his wet
cheeks, while some wipe his face with
their handkerchicfs and even weep
with him.
In few moments this sympathy
gives him courage, and then his friends
pat him on the back, thump his
shoulders, tell each other that any
man would fail In such q difficult eX-
animation, and at length walk him of
probably to a cafc--wlth a look in
his face as il there might yet be a
chance for him in this hard world
II IS a pleasant sight To watch this
entirely sympathetic action, in which
there is no shadow OF selfcuuscious.

one of the mules has been In the

On investigating they found that
the mule had wandered In back of the
marine barracks during the night In
search of fresh fodder, and, finding no
grass there, he brayed a clever imita-
