Who invented the fan? Eve, said the essayist, when she fanned herself with a palm leaf; Venus, declared the poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes, when she deâ€" nuded one of her doves, a fanâ€"tailed pigeon, of his plumes: / "My bird, I want your train," she cried ; "Come, don‘t let‘s have a fuss about it; I‘ll make it beauty‘s pet and pride, _ And you‘ll be better off without it." he determined to yield to an impulse The goddess spoke, and gently stripâ€" ped Her bird. of every caudal feather; A strand of goldâ€"bright hair she clipâ€" ped And bound the glossy plumes toâ€" gether. A pretty fancy and a charming fan, even if we cannot accept Venus‘s offâ€" hand assurance that he poor, submisâ€" sive dove would be better off without his tail. But, whatever its origin, the fan in the Orient, an attribute of both sexes, has belonged, down all the ages of Occidental civilization, to woman alone. â€" "Woman‘s weapon," it bas been often calledâ€"a dainty weapon, wielded only in wars of gallantry be. tween the sexes, to be sure. It has taken the great war to reveal the fan as a thing of serious military value, although not as an aggressive weapon but as an important means of defense against one of the most subtle and hideous perils of the newer warfare. This fan, so different from the pretiy plaything of elegant ladies, was in no poet‘s fancy, but in sober fact, the inâ€" vention of a woman. Her name is Hertha Ayrton, and she is English. Mrs. Ayrton, the widow of a man of science. and scientific herself, was It was at Rouen that he decided toi do it. Sitting in the quiet and comfort } of the Y.M.C.A. hut, he reviewed the ; possibilities of the next few days and j tound them decidedly grim. His outâ€"| fit was to go straight into action, and that until now he had always resisted. He would write a farewell letter to , his mother in case he should fall, . | His mother was a widow, and he was her only son. It seemad like givâ€" ing in to death to write this letterâ€" like signing his own death warrant. Yet If he should fall, there was one thing he wanted his mother to know. Blowly, and with infinite difficulty, he wrote his message. Only one passage concerns us, and its glory is such that all motherhood should know it. "Dear Mother. One to.ug especially I want you to know. Yours has been an unhappy life. Let this bring you joy. Your wish has always been my law. When I left home for business seven years ago, you told me that you wished me never to drink, gamble or swear. It was wise of you to use that word ‘wish.‘ Just because it was not x command, but the anxiety of your great love to me, I have always resâ€" pected it. From that day to this, I have never tasted strong drink, rambled, or sworn, or done anything else 1 felt you would be ashamed of. Dear mother, don‘t grieve if I fall. I believe in Christ, and I shall go with x clean soul to God." A week later orders came to his batâ€" tallon that a strong German machineâ€" gun post must be captured. A Comâ€" pany was given the task, and falled. C. Company, our young hero in comâ€" mand, was ordered to take the gun. Through a hail of bullets they swept to viectory. The letter was closed and sealed and dispatched to a friend, to be sent to his mother, if necessary. Before he slept that night he determined, on his knees, to reaist all gloomy forebod. Ings.

At the latest meeting the address of the president, Prof. W. A. Herdman of the University of Livâ€" erpool, was devoted to oceanography, x subject on which he is an authority ; and although the paper touched the welentific imagination in pointing out the immense field for study in the chemical, geological and biological story of the oceans and ocean life, it also dwelt upon the very praccical matâ€" ter of the food that we get or could yet from the sea. One of the things that President Herdman would do is to make some kind of census of the oceans, as a& basis for calculating how much food they can be made to yield and what taws can be agreed upon for the proâ€" tection of fish. It is evident from history and geology and archaeology that man has always got a considerâ€" able part of his food from the sea, yet it is the one field in which, with unâ€" fmportant exceptions, he hbas estabâ€" lished no individual rights and done no productive work. On land he has multiplied the gifts of nature a hunâ€" «redfold and !mproved them in quality as well as in quantity; but what naâ€" ture gives him from the sea he has taken in its casual form and quantity, and been content.

It was used by the British troops during the last months of the war, and the soldiers gladly testify to its effectiveâ€" ness. The inventor has given public demonstrations in London with glass models of dugouts and tunnels, from which smoke, which was employed inâ€" stead of gas, was quickly expelled. At one of these demonstrations, Mrs, Ayrton, with a threeâ€"inch fan, sat at one end of a sixâ€"foot table while smoke was poured down from a funnel at the other end. The action of the miniature fan not only dispelled the fumes but quickly gained such control over them that the current of air set up preâ€" vented the smoke from coming out of the funnel. The use of this antigas fan in cases of accumulated sewer gas has also been crowned with success, the fan in this case being applied at the manhole.

The first of the species to be caught were taken south of Nantucket in 1879 and were at once declared by the United States Fish Commission to be an excellent food fish. For two years or so they came to market in conâ€" siderable quantity. Then, in 1882, the schooner Navarino sailed for two days and a night through water the surface of which was covered with dead tileâ€" fish to the estimated number of 256,000 to the square mile. For a long time no tilefish were caught; then, a few years ago they began to reappear and are now plenty again. Men of science believe that the cause of the disaster was a sudden shifting of the Gulf Stream and a replacing inflow of cold water from the Labrador coast, but no one knows surely.

It Is Not Easy. The Handwriting on the Wall. The trail that leads to a thief is often tortuous, but that identification sometimes hinges on the most trivial circumstances is illustrated in a story from The Recollections of a Police Magistrate in the Canadian Magazine. A railway station at a small town in Ontario had been robbed and, besides some money, a number of express orders and railway tickets had been taken. Before the numbers of the stolen orders had been reportea, one of the orders was cashed in Toronto by a woman who signed her name as "Warâ€" ren." The teller could not give a desâ€" cription of the woman but remembered that another young woman, who was also at the wicket, had given a little smile of recognition to the woman who was getting the money. It was easy to find the second woman, but she proved to have no recollection of the person wanted, except that she had attended business college with her for a short time two years before. She could not remember her name, but promised to try to recall it. A few hours afterwards she was still unable to recall the name, but she rememberâ€" ed having seen the girl write it on the wall of the cloak room of the college. At the spot described the name was found. The principal of the college remembered something of the girl and thought she had been staying with friends in Toronto. The city directory was next consulted, but of the five families of the name in the city none had a Margaret, and it was a Margâ€" aret that was wanted. It was decided to call on all the addresses. The first one was that of a house showing signs of wealth and responsibility. It hardâ€" 1y seemed worth while, but the inspecâ€" tors touched the bell, and almost imâ€" mediately a reflnedâ€"looking young woâ€" man answered. "Is Miss Margaret â€"â€" here?" they politely inquired. "That is my name." It was a shock to the inspectors, but they proceeded quickly with their questions. Indignant denial was the first attitude. Then slowly came the admissions. She had cashed the check for a young man with whom she had attended a country school many years before. She led the way to a lodging house in a nearâ€"by street, where the inspectors captured two men and selzed the rest of the stolen goods. One of the men a year previous had been a station master at the place that was robbed. Miss Margaret little thought, when she wrote her name on tne wall, that she was laying a trap to land her friend and one of his chums in prison. Iiness Cured by Merriment. The power of the mind over conâ€" tagious disease is well illustrated by Charles L. Leland in his "Have You a Strong Will?"" He cites the case of the celebrated physician, Hufeland, who recalls a personal experience, as follows: war, 1807, when a pestilential fever broke out, that I had to attend many who were ill with it. and ons mornâ€" ing I felt that I had every symptom of the disorderâ€"giddiness, mental duliness, weakitess of the limbsâ€"every sign that I must suffer for many days before the malady would break out.

There are some singular discounts allowed in the book trade that on one occasion were happily illustrated by Mark Twain. One day while the hum.â€" orist was connected with a publishing house he went to a bookcase and, picking up a volume, asked the price.

A Terrible Explosion. ‘The silver or blackâ€"silver fox is a color phase of the common red fox found nearly everywhere in Canada. Silver foxes bear the same relation to red foxes that black squirrels do to gray squirrels, or black muskrats to brown muskrats. Through selective breeding in captivity, the silver or silverâ€"black markings have become fairly constant and good animals reâ€" produce true to type. In the typical silver fox, black replaces the red of the ordinary fox, the result being a beautiful black fur overlaid with a sprinkling of silvery white guard hairs. Between the ideal silverâ€"black fox and the red are all grades of crosses, which, of course, are less valuable than the true silver blacks, yet worth many times the cost of the ordinary red. The silver or silverâ€"black fox was the first American fur animal to be domesticated permanently. _ Back in 1894 a trapper on Anticosti Island near Prince Edward Island, caught a pair of beautiful silver foxes which he sold to Charles Dalton of Prince Edward Island. He kept them on the Island one year and they would not breed. He then turned them over to a Mr. Qulton who took them to Cherry Island. Oulton was the only inhabiâ€" tant on the island, and the foxes, not being disturbed, raised the first pair of silver foxes that ever were reared in confinement. Daiton and Oulton "Let‘s Praise." Let‘s praise each other now and then, and not be always blaming. It‘s good for women, also men; and if they would be aiming at making Life a pleasant round, in Compliments it should abound.

And when Maria trims a hat, don‘t grumble at expenses, or in the fire goes all the fat, and there are Moods and Tenses. No! Toll her that she locks a peach, and watch her sparkle at your speech. In short, we‘re chary overmuch of due appreciation, and so Love hobbles on a Crutch, or dies of gheer starvaâ€" tion, when all we need is just to say: "By gum! You look A1 toâ€"day!" So easy!

France bought from the British all the railway lines they laid down in that country. Today nobody argues about the necessity for good roads, That the need is a vital one has come to be accepted without the possibility of question. And here is the story of how one community approached the problemâ€"a story in which others may find suggestions of value. In this case it happened to be the council of industry in a small Western town that first took the matter up. The town in question is a progress!ve little city, the centre of a fertile farming and ranching country, and of late years a large oll centre. Appreciatâ€" ing the need of better roads, and realâ€" izing that the funds available from taxation must always be inadequate for such demands, the local council of industry evolved a plan. Briefly, this was to name a certain date as "Good Roads Day," and to issue a call to every publicâ€"spirited citizen to de. vote that day toward thre improvement of the main county highways. This plan found ardent supporters, and the day set was June 22. Adverâ€" tisements contributed by the two daily newspapers asked for one thouâ€" sand workers to report for duty with tools, a generous lunch and unboundâ€" ed enthusiasm. Captains were apâ€" pointed, définite areas assigned, and as the voltnteers appeared they were assigned to certain teams, their indiâ€" vidual preferences being consulted wherever possible. . By mutual agreeâ€" ment the stores and business houses of the town and~several of the ‘surâ€" rounding villages were closed for the Lessing _ says: "The â€" most agreeable of all companions is a simple, frank man, without any high pretensions to an aggresâ€" sive greatness; one who loves life and understands the us> of it; obliging, alike at all hours; above all, of a golden temper, and steadfast as an anchor.

It is a terrible thing to go through life with the conviction that someâ€" thing serious is the matter with you, that you are inferlor in some way to those about you, that you lack certain ability or certain qualities, which are necessary for great success, or to make your life count for very much. To drag through the years with the belief that there is something wrong with you, that you lack ability to do the thing you long to do, or that you have a serious handicap, physically or mentally, that you are peculiar, queer, or ‘inferior, takes the edge off your endeavor; it mars your peace of mind and happiness; it deprives you of the satisfaction which should come from honest effort to make good. From P;Inâ€"c; Edward Island the inâ€" dustry has spread into New England, Michigan and Alaska and into all of ihe p;ovinces of Canada There are multitudes of people who have such convictions about themâ€" selves. They often have their beginâ€" ning in the home or the school, when a child is told he is a dunce, a good. forâ€"nothing, and will never amount to anythingâ€"that he can‘t learn like others, can‘t do things like others. 200044 °D curuds t t whes s in es rd t This unfavorable judgment makes an impression on the plastic mind of a child that lasts through life. A boy will grow up convinced that he is beâ€" low par mentally, that there is someâ€" thing the matter with his mind, that he hasn‘t the ability of others about him, and that, no matter how hard he may try, he will never get ahead or amount to anything much. In time, this belief so undermines his ambition that he gives up attempting to excel in anything.

UIBD PC The plunderer, a man named Roemâ€"» er, appeared oefore a »gian court to give testimony, and after listening to his weird concoction the judges found punishment impossible, but assessed the costsâ€"35,000 francsâ€"which the officer paid without a murmur. The Count‘s story of his losses and his subsequent efforts to recover at least part of his wealth is typical of what has happened in scores Of instances since the Allies decided to take wonty As soon as the armistice was signed the Count decided to try to obtain jJusâ€" tice, but jJustice proved as fleet in the chase as did the German marauders. While searching in the official records the Count learned that Col. Keller, who a limited number of German chiefs before the Leipsic tribunal. Betrayed by His Servants. When the war started the Count was in Carlsbad and succeeded in reaching France, but the rapid enemy advance cut him off from his chateau. The Germans pillaged the ancient estate of its works of art with the conniâ€" vance of former German servants, who had discovered the wealth hidden be.â€" hind false walls in the cellars, is now working in a town hall in the occupied reglons, commanded troops at the chatean when it was pillaged. The latter admitted taxing several souvenirs, but said that a subordinate pillaged the place thoroughly. Roemer, safely ensconced beyond the Rhine, agreed to recount his war experiences to Count d‘Andigne at a time when he was not cognizant of the latter‘s "Identity. He told his visitor how hbe dug up the chests of riches. Whether the Count became excited at this point is uncertain, but Roemer did not reveal the present location of the plunder which disappeared from the chateau and the Count was unable to continue the conversation until after the German officials of the Departâ€" ment of Justice were ordered to proâ€" duce the former officer. Roemer appeared at Mayence for interrogation and signed a confession that he had taken the property, but persisted that he had reburied it in the woods several miles from the chateau. Me has returned there serâ€" eral times, he said, but was never able to locate the exact spot. The investigators were unable to shake his testimony, but hxewise they were unable to ascertain how Roemer amassed his present comfortable for, tune, although there was testimony from Commander Keller to the effect that he, in order to avold punishment for pillaging without permission, gave to his superiors "valuable presents," which are now known to have includâ€" ed heirlooms of the Count‘s family. Moreover, Keller‘s home contains large stores of linens, laces and silke, 2« well as 100 cameras, which had acâ€" companied him when frequent leaves from the front were granted to him. The fact that some articles have been identified by the Count does not worry either German or allled justiceâ€"Ke!â€" ler keeps what be has got and the aged Count has only the shell of the chateau to leave to bis heirs. I know of no sort of worry which gots such a terrific grip on people, which eats into the very marrow of one‘s being, like the moneyâ€"worry, the worry about the wherewithall to exist.
