Matches.
and
Various are the uses for fans In Ja
pan. Properly manipulated, they many
times take the place of speech,. The
umpire at wrestling and fencing
matches uses a heavy fan shaped like
a huge butterfly, the handle being the
body and rendered imposing by heavy
cords of silk. The various motions
01 the fau constitute a lauguuge
which the wrestlers fully uuderstand
and appreciate. Formerly In time
oi war the Japanese commander used
a large fan, having a frame of Iron
covered with thick paper. In case of
uunger it would be shut, and a blow
liotu its iron bones was no light at
lair. One notable variety of fau Is
made of waterproof paper, which can
be dipped in water and creates great
coolness by evaporation without wet
ting the clothes. The flat fan made
of rough paper Is often used us a
grain winnow, to blow the charcoal
lii'i's and as a dustpan. The Japanese
gontk'inan of the old school who nev
er wears a hat uses his fun to shield
his eyes from the sun. His head,
bare from childhood, hardly needs
shade, and when it does he spreads
nn umbrella, and with his fan he di
rects his servants and saves talking.
Weeping at a Wedding.
A Chinese marriage Is all ceremony
jio talk, no levity and much crying.
The solemnity of a funeral prevails.
After the exchange of presents the
bi'ido is dressed with much care iu a
red gown, brocade or silk, if she can
get it; her eyelashes are painted a
deep black and she wears a heavy
red veil attached to a scarlot head
dress from which imitation pearls are
pendant over the forehead. A feast
in i-pread upon a table, to which the
blushing bride is led by five of her
best female friends. They are seated
at the table, but no one eats. The ut
most silence prevails, whin finally
the mother leads off In a cry, the
maids follow and the bride echoes in
the chorus. Then all the bridesmaids
have the table, and the disconsolate
mother takes a seat beside the chair
of state where the hrldo sits. The
ridegroom now enters, with four of
his best men. The men pick up the
throne on which the bride sits, and.
eceded by the bridegroom, form
in procession and walk around the
room or Into an adjoining pallor, sig-
Hying that he is carrying her away
his own home. The guests then
irow rice at the happy couple a cus
tom we have borrowed from the
heathen.
Unbreakable Crockery.
It is reported that a Bdgiun firm Is
nking a hardened crystal dish which
n appearance closely resembles trans
lucent china of uniform shape and
uiaiiulacttire. The resistance to
hocks and sudden changes ol tempi r-
nuue of this product are remarkable.
hardened crystal dish can be sub
stituted lor a hammer driving nails
into wood, while the tableware can
be put into boiling water at a high
degree, then plunged into ice water
repeatedly, without the least notice
able damage. A set of this ware has
een in use in one Delglan family io
ten years, and, with the exception of
a tew unusual local accidents, the set
presents the same fresh appearance
as when It came from the factory.
Hales ol the usual form iu this Hard
ened ware may be hurled to the stone
floor of a warehouse and go bounding
along the whole length ol the build
ing without suffering the least dam
age. Black Lungs and Whits.
At tile Anatomical Museum in Ed
inbr.rg.i L'n.versily there is a striking
objuct h.sson showing the actual harm
dune to health by log. There are pre
served three human lungs, one quite
white, one quite black, and the otner
a dirty gray compromise between the
two. Tne white lung belonged to
an Esquimaux who had breathed all
his hie the untainted air of the Arc
tic Circle; the black lung had been
the property of a coal miner, and it
was black simply because it was im
pregnated with coal dust; the gray
lung belonged to a city dweller who
bad breathed all his life the dust-lad-eu,
log-tainted air of a great town.
Caucasian Skull Growing.
By comparing modern skulls with
those of the same race in an old mon
astery Iu the Kedron Valley, Doctor
Ui;;iit, of the Americau College of
Beirut, Syria, has shown that thir
len centuries have added two inches
to the circumference and three and a
hall' cubic inches to the capacity of
the Caucasian skull. The brain is
developed iu the parts presiding over
the moral and intellectual functions,
growing higher and longer, without
increase of the lower portions, which
give breadth to the head and In
whicn the selfish propensities are
centered.
Longest Lived Race.
The Norwegians are longest-lived
of the European people, and the Span
iards ihe shortest. The average dura
tion of life in these foreign countries
is as follows: Norway 50, England
45, Belgium 44, Switzerland 44,
France 43, Austria 39, Germany 39,
Italy 39, Bavaria 36 and Spain 32.
The Emperor's Motto.
A mirror, a crystal and a sword
are carried before .the eniperor of Ja
pan on all state occasions, "Know
thyself" Is the message of the mir
ror; "B pure and shine" is the crys
tal's Injunction; while the sword is a
reminder to "Be strong."

City libraries are proline produc
ers of odd Incidents. Articles of
every kind and description are found
in returned volumes. There Is. for
example, a well known book mark
endeared to Its owner by some asso
catlon, which has been found In re
turned books at least one hundred
times. On two occasions Indorsed
checks were discovered between the
leaves of works of notion. The first
check, for a large sura of money,
was left by a young girl, who quick'
ly realized her loss and came back
breathless to find the check still In
the book Just where she had left It
The second check was In a book re
turned by a young man one evening
Just before the library closed. He
was waiting haggard and wan on the
doorstll when the building was
opened next morning, and stated that
as the check belonged to his brother.

As may be Imagined, letters are
left In books by the wholesale. If
they are sealed, addressed and lack a

on their way. But opened letters ad
dressed to persons not known are
kept a reasonable length of time and
then destroyed. Spectacles and even
scissors are frequently found, but
usually claimed by the owner.

I.:i'Hr I. aw In England.

ing six clauses: Any tailor who

not to be higher than forty-eight

Str.ui'.to Wedding Custom.
Among the I.olos of Western
China It Is customary for the bride
on the wedding morn to perch her
self on the highest branch of a large
tree, while the elder female members
of her family cluster on the lower
limbs, armed with sticks. When all
ore duly stationed the bridegroom
clambers up the tree, assailed on all
fides by blows, pus'ics and pinches
fi om the downgnrs, and It Is not un
til he has broken through their fence
und raptured the bride that he is
allowed to carry her off.
Tradesmen i:i Japan.
Some of the Japanese tradesmen
in the smoller towns of Nippon have
a curious way of advertising their
business. On their right forearms
they tattoo figures the shoemaker a
shoe, the wodcutter an ax, the
butcher a cleaver. Underneath these
emblems are such Inscriptions as "I
do my work modestly and cheaply,"
and "I am zt good at my trade as
most of my fellows." When they are
looking for work they bare their
arms and walk about the streets.
Handkerchiefs in the Army.
Tli9 Russian government hns de
creed that In future all soldiers of
the Empire must, use handkerchiefs
heretofore not one soldier out of a
thousand has indulged In this luxury
and that all the handkerchiefs
must contain pictures emblematic of
a soldier's life, both in battle and la
time of peace.

which is unable 'o swim. This is on

animal can. if put to It, manage to

My face and neck were one mass of

Au ancient cookbook has been (US'

century. And this Is not strange when
one remembers their taste for splee,

beef is not mentioned in one of the ll0
recipes. One Is amazed at the populari

of chivalry were made upon It. It was

color within mid painted with arms
