A JAPANESE ACCOUNT OF FANS.
Probablv a CliiiiPte Invention - Fans
for
C'erem..iM..ii ( r.-.-ii-ions.
Dr. T"). Tb Me 'nrtee, for many years
a missionary and educator in China
nnd Japan, audi now a resident of
Washington, Dist ! ict of Colnmbia,
has favored us w ith a translation he
! ns made of a Japanese account of
the fans of that nation. Dr. Mc
t'i'ibe is one of the most accom
plished hine-se and Japanese scholars
in America, and his views on any
( h iental custom carry the weight of
authority.
The present communication is a
translation from the French of Mr.
Matsngata's report entitled " I.e
Japon a IExposition Universelle
de 1S7S."
There are in Japan two kinds of
fans; one called se-usu (( 'hinese Shen
tizti), which folds ti and is easily
carried; the either of a round shape
and which dot s not fold up.
No one knows exactly tle origin of
fans ia Japan, but the traditions have
unifon dy taught us that atw.vtit the
year 070 (A.l . ), during the reign of
the emperor Teiiji (who adopted many
of the institutions and cu.-foms r.f
the Chinese), an inhabitant of Tumba.
looking at bats folding and unfold
ing their wings, conceived the i.h a
of making fans of leaves, which
from that circumstance bore the name
of kuwa hori, which means a bat.
The fan called Hi pi or ITifree
fan was made from the leaves of
the Hi-no-ki (Chnmaeyparis obtusa).
The leaves were tied to each other by
threads.
Another kind of fan called Chnkei
(Chinese CLn Kin, lit. bamboo tendons
or veins) is made of brmboo. It has
the appearance of being half open
when it is shut. These two kinds of
fans are only carried on the occasion of
great ceremonies.
The ordinary funs are made in
Kioto, Osaka and Owari: but the better
kinds are i.iade in Tekio. The 1- aves
(ribs, bones, sticks or stays) of fans are
made of bamboo, but ivory, shell and
shitun wood (imported from China) tere
also used.
They nre decorated with mother-of-pearl,
coral and lacpier work. The
paper which cov..rs the " bones " of
the fan is fivipi! idly ornamented
with cold leaf, di. .wings, llowcrs,
i .irds, etc.
It is sometimes necessary to give
the pap r a coating of shiber (or
varnish made from the juice of the
rswph.i-siinine.il) to give it greater solid
ity i -r !'.) l.-'tiess.

Th.se fans, which acquired a great
reputation, were known as Fukakusa

best Uchiwa are made at Tokio, but
as the varieties of this kind of fans are
very numerous, we will not weary
our readers by enumerating them in
detail.
Note. The translator tloes not
hold himself rep ir.'-ible for the in
consi teticies of this account. The
empt rcr, Tenji, introduced many of
th Chinese manners and customs into
Japan and many iniii.eieas of the
Chinese ofiioial feirms and offices. Cal
endars, almanacs, and the mode of
denominating the year, were all intro
duced about the some time from China
and fans probably at the same time
also. The Ch-ine.se name used in Japan
would cei.bni the supposition that
th b'iter binds of fans, at b-ast, were
inn-ohtccd from China. !). 15. McC

Ttivorre an.l Vlarrlan.
My marriage wa a very romantic one,
said a Chicago irent lenian at the Palace
Ho'el. San Francisco, who is on his
bridal Jour.
The lady's former husband was an in
timate friend of mine. lie is a good fel
low, but ho didn't use h-r well.
Although a gentleman in mos' respects,
he was so uiif. rlu:.a e as to have the
drinking h.at.f , and occasionally whila
in li.pior he raised the de ,ee- in the do
mest ie circle.
I'.otti he and the lad v were aeeu-tomed
to come to me for a '.vice after these af
fairs. "Get a divorce," sny- I at lat.
" Agreed," savs thev, and shook hands
on it.
Then they separated, ponding the re
sult of the legal proceedings.
I vi-ited the lady in tier retirement
several t Imcs.
' Frank,' said the husb.in 1 to me,
' don't you think you had better not call
on I. xie wh.le this divorce business is
in progress ?"
"Why. Po''saj's I, "what the mis
chief have you to do wit'i the matter?"
" I don t like it," says ho.
Put." says I, as she's gettirg a di
vorce from you, and you are consenting,
what. ibff. reiieo can it make to ye u who
calls on her?"
" Frank," says he, looking me straight
In the eye, " d you mean to marry Liz
zie? '
" We'l, r.ob."' says I, 'the i'ci never
occurred to me before, but now that you
sagg- st it, I don't know but v. hat I will.
Do you thi k she'll be likely to favor tho
idea her -elf?"
I'm blessed, continued the Chicago
man, if tli f-n!ow didn't begin to fight
th divorce from that minute.
We downed him. of course, but he's
sfid cord, and even refused to attend the
wedding.
However, when we get home my wife
will manage to smooth him down. She
know- his ways, you tinners and.
There's nothing so p iii:ful to me as a
break in an old friendship, and we both
reftlly like I'.ob very well, in spite of his
faults. San Francisco Post.
To Make Girln Tel. Their Age.
G!rls of a man iapeabie nge do no
like to t il how old they aro. but you can
find out by following the su! joined In
structions, tho young lady doing the fig
uring. Tell her to put down ih number of
the month in which she was burn : then
to multiply it by two; th. n to a id five;
then to multiply by fif'y; then to add
her age; t ien to subtract et'..") ; then to
add 11": then tell her to tell you the
amount she has left.
The two figures to the right will
denote her age, and the remainder the
month of h.-r bhth. For example, tho
amount is 22, she is Iwenty-two years
old, ami was born in the eighth month

THE DYING PAUPER.
A Sketch From Actnul Life.
Tt was twenty years ago to-day that I
saw her part from her son at the rail
road station. She, a motherly mother,
with purity written on every lino id her
face he, a boy of fifteen with clear
eyes and honest countenance.
They laughed together together they
wept at the parting.
Ten years had passed when T saw her
again ten summers ten w inters. The
motherly look ha 1 parted from Ik r face;
purity had been replaced by vie?, hho
bad become drunken and vicious.

HONEY-EATING SNAKES.
Cnrlong Chapter in Natural fTNtory.
A most remarkable snake story comes
from one of the neighborhoods in the
mountainous regions of Washington
county. Arkansas; yet it c-oni.s t-om
such responsible source t'c.t it t authen
ticity cannot bo questioned.
Near Sit. Paul, a neighboring post
office in this region, some twenty-five
miles from this city, where the wolf is
sometimes heard to howl and the resident
farmer can occasionally have a venison
steak, two young farmers named Young
and Stewart were out hunting a few
days ngo and discovered bees passing
out and in through a hole about forty
feet from the ground in a large bbick
oak tree, which was bumo four feet in
diameter.
Of course, they thorxt1' they Lad
made a rich discovery. 'i'h y were not
then prepared to cut the fr.-e and s'nrt
for home. n their way Young boitght
.Stewart's inte-rest in the find, paying til
cash for it.
Next day Young invited several friends
to help him cut tho tree and share the
precious treasure it contained. So,
sn; o-bie-1 -with axes and buckets, thev
! .-, '..-.I to the woods and cut down
the tree.
After it had fallen crashing to the
ground. Young ran wit -, a handful e.f
leaves nnd slopped th lirb- through
which tho bees entered the tree, but
soon th. y were swarming out at a split
mad-: iu tl e trunk by fall in".
Ono. i" his friends sii-.'c" sted that he
did not believe th.it the bees w ere gob,
to ' i-. tb. tii inn. h tronbl f ",l i ,r

tended his month, s.bot cut 1-'-; t'.egec.
nnd gave out t h:-1 J .a i-.ly.i .n.id .- i.!i
his rattles which, w lien oaco heard, is
never forgotten.
lie was soon dispatched, however,
r.nd tho work of discovery w-nt on.
They t!en chop,d into t'e log nnd
split out a 1-e-g block, and there found,
coiled up iu the loe. two other rattlers,
whic h were promptly killed.
What promised to I -o a delicious feast
only proved to ) a fine mass of dry
comb; so thoroughly had the honey
be. ii eaten out by the snikes.
The tree was perfectly covered r.t the
stumn. nnd the snakes, to reach the hol
low, had to climb forty feet, which is
claimed to be a new performance with
rattlesnakes, or nt l--r.st an unobserved
characteristic amongfhem heretofore in
this part of the country. s;t. L.ouis

How she escapes Btrangnlntion or tho

Where, Are the Homely Girl?
A few years back it was a common
thing to rad of an accident happening
to a plain girl.
Puch an item never appears in print
nowadays. Every eloping girl is put
down as pretty.
If a girl is found dead in the river she
tepn ttw If a g:r! !s arrested for some
escapade she is pretty.
We may scan not only the society col
umns, but the local page nnd the" tele
grams in any paper, and it will be seen
that every time a girl is . icntioned she
in described as pretty.
It is unaccountable, but it Is ft fact.
