T1TE FAN IN JAPAN.
DETAILS OF THE PROCESS OF DE
SIGNING AND MANUFACTURING.
A Great Variety of Colors Applied -by
Mraus of ltlocks of Cherry Wood I'an
for Gentlemen of Taste The Tan's Mauy
Vbc Etiquette.
Among the scenes of unique interest which
arrest the eye of the traveler in Japan one
finds ouo's self well repaid for a visit to the
fan makers. Few of thotte who visit the
curios shops to purchase these gaudy trifles
have any idea of tho meaning of their pict
uresque demons or tho method by which they
are made. Yet this handicraft does really
more to odvertiso Japan thun any other
manufacture. Funs are made by thousands
of independent laborers, centralized capital
and labor for tho manufacture of works of
art and handicraft being as yet little known
in Japan. The principal workers in this
trade are found in Tokio, Kioto, Nagoya and
Fukui.
We have have watched tho operation from
beginning to end the splitting of bamboo,
the cutting and pastiugof delicate rice paper
by tho girls, the artistic, dainty picturing,
tho finishing and packing. They are some
times inscribed with classic quotations,
Ioetry, statistical tables, ahnaunc lore, maps,
pictures of noted places and congratulations.
Often theso are made to depict life, customs,
architecture in Europe, or even Yokohama,
that city being the immediate link between
tho Japanese and foreigners. Thus are the
fans in the household, of which there aro
many, made to educate tho family.
Tho design for tlie pictures on un ordinary
flat fan is first drawn on thin paper, then
pasted on a block of cherry wood and en
graved; afterward printed from this by lay
ing tho fan pajer on the block and pressing
smoothly. Japanese books have been printed
in this way for centuries prior to the late
changes in tho empire. Tho variet3' of colors
are put on with not infrequently as many as
twenty blocks. Often the picture papers
have the choicest of perfumes laid between
them before being pasted on the frame, then
finished with ivory handles, inlaid and gold
lacquered.
FOR GENTLEMEN OF TASTE.
Gentlemen of luxurious tastes have largo
collections of these refreshing trifles, with
autograph inscriptions and pictures from
celebrated artists. A very dainty custom in
vogue is to exchange fans as wo do photo
graphs. We, as foreigners, are supposed to do
things upside down. In this country the
large, flat fans are for tho use of gentlemen,
but in Japan it would be a diro breach of
etiquette, as these are used exclusively by
women. Tho gentleman always carries a
folding fan in his girdle or bosom, usually
elegantly decorated. If he is a scholar or
author, when he invites hi3 literary friends
to his houso they must go prepared to in
scribe this dainty bit of refreshment offered
them on arrival. A rack of silver hooks, or
a tubular fan holder is found in every house
of the least pretention.
Japan uses the fan for a great variety of
purposes; made of stout paper to winnow
grain, for dust pans and charcoal fire blow
ers; of waterproof paper for dipping in
water and as a vaporizer, for producing ex
tra coolness to tho face. There are double
winged fans for the juggler, who makes a
butterfly of paper flutter up the edge of a
sword, for the judges at wrestling matches
and for tho daucing girl, who makes her fan
a part of her own graceful motion and classic
pose. In charming grace of manner the
Japanese are unequalod, and secret though
decorous love is often expressed in artistic
use of the fan till consummated by openly
avowed attachment.
As tokens of good feeling and polite atten
tion Americans are not infrequently tho re
cipients of costly fans from their Japanese
friends. On a certain special occasion, ac
companying an invitation to dinner, tied
with daintiest silk corn on perfumed paper,
was a tray of confections and sponge cake iu
a lacquered box of exquisite make and a case
cf three rare, painted fans, each tied in silk
napkins.
On leaving the empire, a family with
whom delightful relations had been estab
lished, sent as a parting gift a beautiful gold
lacquered cabinet, in one of the drawers of
which was found a number of perfumed
fans of elegant manufacture, which will be
lifelong keepsake. iu niemcry of the aesthetic
Japanese. -Ifalon H. S. Thompson in Good
Housekeeping.
RuatU'i Stalwart Soldiers.
TLe Cossacks ere closely connected with
Muscovite history. They conquered Siberia
and kept the Turks in check iu the south ;
they crossed the St. Gothard under SouvarofT
and entered Paris with Platoff ; they excited
the admiration of Napoleon I, and later on,
la tho last war, they crossed the Balkans, led
by Gen. Gourko, and performed wonders of
valor and recklessness. As a reward for
their glorious services this heroic population
enjoys special privileges. Jn 1S7D the Cos
sack were declared proprietors of tho lands
they had cultivated and the Black Count

is a soldier at 17 and wears the uniform till
he is 50. lie is ever in readiness to obey any
order, to start as an escort on a reconnois
sance or as the bearer of dispatches. When
he returns to his bom a he tills the land,
raises cattle, breeds horses, works salt mines,
or fishes. The steppes of the Don are the
hunter's Eldorado.
Stalwart, strong, active and abstemious,
the only exception to the Cossack's frugality
is his inordinate passion for tho alcohol he
calls vodki, of which b6 imbibes enormous
quantities. Their Cossack capital. Novo

"Send for Kelly," was an expression that
was sometimes used by the late Gen. Sheri

by the discovery of soma extraordinary act
of foolishness on the part of an ovcrzealous
or idiotic person. "Kelly" is the name in the
trcay for "the fool killer," and the tradition
is that when "Kelly" was sent for and let
loose he would cause fearful slaughter in the
ranks of the blunderers and stupid people, on
whose account his services were invoked,
singling out his victims with an unerring in
telligence and dispatching them without
quarter. Washington Cor, Jew York

A BIG SNAKE STORY.
A Reptile as Cnlqne a the) Sea Serpent
The I'orpolite Sntike.
I, alone, one day in June, was fishing on
the banks of tho bayou Yucatan, under the
sbadii of an oak, iu north Louisiana, having
left my nail bout several hundred yards from
me, in order to escape the hot sun.
I had hardly i-eated in)self conveniently
when a dark object was seen approaching on
the surface of tho water. At iirt I thought
it was an alligator, but on closer observation
discovered it to be an enormous creeping H-r-ioiit.
When this huge monster was within
a few yards of the sjvot w hero I was scaled I
gathered some stones ubout the size of goose
eggs and struck him eleven times, a:id,
strange to relate, the blows did not appear
to worry him to any great degree, as ho
never once left the surfoco of tho water, but
continued unconcernedly ut a slow pace up
stream.
I immediately left my rod and reel and
hastily scanqiered to my boat. It was only
a question of several minutes before I was in
midstream in hot pursuit of this object,
which was soon overtaken. When within
close proximity I noticed it to bo blind and
apparently harmless. Fearing, however, nu
attack, I seized my rifle, and, taking uini ut
its head, fired. The bullet lodged in the col
lar bone and broke his neck. There was a
slight movement of the tail, a little slashing
of the water, and all was over, the monster
floating down stream. Curious to learn tho
species of this peculiar reptile, a mado a lasso
from a .stout rope which I had iu my boat
and threw it around its body, tnus enabling
me to tow it ashore.
A critical examination developed the fact
that I had captured a monster snake never
before seen by me. It had a hend resent' if hi":
a long funnel shaped bv; :., io Uiiy be.ng
similar to small kegs joined together. What
made matters more queer, each keg had a
bunghole (some of the bungs being on top
and some on the sides). Iluuling tho tail o:i
the bank (which was by no means an easy
task), out of curiosity to learn the contents
of tho kegs, I opened one of the bungholes
by means of a jackknife, and found it to
contain a very fine purified oil.
Just at this juncture my uucle. who is an
old fisherman and has been a member of tho
city council, came up, and the minute his
eyes fell on the captive, with frantic gesticu
lations ho exclaimed that I had captured a
valuable porpoise snake, seldom seeu in these
waters.
The oil in the kegs I found to be pure, un
adulterated porpoise oil. I had twelve forty
nine gallon oil barrels sent to tho bank and
filled them all. Tho oil was shipped to the
most extensive watch making establishment
in this country, and brought a handsome
sum.
By way of explanation, I would say that
this snake obtains the oil by plunghig its
sharp head into the sido of the porpoise and
drains every drop of' oil from its body.
The snake had fifty-three kegs and was
sixty-nine feet long.
I still have jossessioii of the kegs and
bungs (the head having decayed), which I
'prize.
Should any one doubt the veracity of this
statement, I can exhibit tho kegs and bungs.

Clearing u Railroad Wreck.
A gentleman tells me that he has seen one
of the most extraordinary pieces of executive
dispatch in his life. "I was coming down
the Hudson River road," ho said, '"two or
three days ego, when the train was stopped
by a wreck near Hudson. A freight train
had been thrown off the track. Tho engine
was lying imbedded in a hole, one car was ly
ing across the track; another had lost its
trucks and was flat on tho track, and the
tender of the locomotive was also deeply im
bedded. We had waited there an hour and a half
or two hours, and twenty trains had been
stopped. They had yanked one of the cars
up on jack screws, as if to run trucks under
it, and then get it out of the way. It looked
as if we were going to stay until night, and
wo began to think about finding a steamboat
or buggy or something to get on to New
York, when all at once an engine and wreck
ing car heaved in sight,
liefore tho engine had come to a stop -we
could hear tho roadninster's voice ring out,
giving his orders before he had seen tho sit
uation. He seemed to be as familiar with
everything on the spot as if ho had been there
all night. There was an engine off at some
distance, but doing nothing. He called out to
tho engineer to come up and make fast to the
buried locomotive. In half a minute the en
giue was attached and pulling to get the
other out of the hole, and at the second effort
the great mass of iron came up suddenly, and
was hauled out of the road.
"Pass that rope over the top of that car,
and make fast to the tree younder," he cried.
It was done. -Now 500 of you lay hold of
that rope," he shouted. The entire little
army, under the inspiration of that voice,
lay hold of the rope, using tho treo for a
purchase, and they pulled tho car across tho
track square and out of tho way by main
strength.
"Come on here with that engine," he cries
again, "make fast to this trucu." With an
other tremendous pull the whole thing came
out ot the ground like a tree by the roots,
and wa3 rushed off. "Now start that first
traiu," cried the mu. ' Iu less than two min
utes from the time of his arrival, what looked
to be a week's job was out of the way, and
tho passengers went on. New York Letter.
A Child's Solo In Church.
An interesting incident was the first ap
pearance in public of a young singer who
holds a responsible position as soprano in one
of the leading choirs of the city. Before the
young lady was more than S or 4 years old
she accompanied her mother to church, and
to her the singing was by far the most im
portant part of the service. The child's voice
was pleasing, being much admired by those
of the congregation who heard her. On one
occasion the minister announced the hymn
which is usually sung to the tune "Green
field." The little singer felt that she wa3
familiar- with this tune and could do justice
to the hymn.
As the first stanza was sung the child's
voice ascended above the others, and many
in the congregation stopped singing to listen
to the young singer. When the second stanza
was begun tho few who took up the air with
the choir stopped singing, and as the choir
continued with the regular words of th
hymn the child took up a solo, which was
heard all over the little church. In clear
tones she sang "Go Tell Aunt Nabby," etc., a
song adapted to "Greenfield," the familiar
tane. Troy Times.
1'ariV Educated Beffr.
There is in Paris, a current story has it, an
educated beggar in the person of a young
man formerly a pupil of the Ecole Normale,
whose modus operandi is as follows: He
cozies up to the terrace of a cafe, and ad
dressing himself to the most intelligent look
ing man present, invites him to ask any his
torical question he can think pf, any date of
French " history, from the earliest to th
present time, saying, "I will answer at
once," He generally fulfills bis promise with
remarkable alacrity ,'and with equal sagacity
passes around the bat. Chicago Herald.
