Dis cussing the subject, tho Kichmond Times says: “Fan" as all red-blooded American* know, Is the bit of slang which denotes the base ball enthusiast. The derivation of thin word which appears about 50,000,000 times each year on the sporting pages <>f American newspapers, is in doubt. The Boston Globe has been conducting a tort of In vestigation cf the parentage of the word, and a number of peo ple have offered explanation*. It ban been thought—and a great many antl-baHcball folks agree In the view—that "fan” is an abbreviation of “fanatic" There are many however, who stoutly contend tho word had another source. A Dorchester, Massachusetts, man aays for liiHtanco: “To say that wo are 'fans/ because of 'fanatics* Is too clumsy a word and annoy* us. Look at a baseball crowd aris ing from lethargy to excite ment: see the nrms and forms unfold Into bedlam, and you see a fan of humans spreading over the vista of the stand*. That sight would explain the term better.” It haB also been suggested that tho word comes from the action of a batter who “fans" tho air Instead of hitting the ball. Tho crowd on the bleach er* trie* to “rattle" him, con fuse hi* mind, therefore those who cauio him to “fan" are called “fans." Probably there are other theories a* to the origin of this word; at any rate, tho*© who have brainstorm when a man on the home team puts a “three-bagger" over will ponder over this problem on rainy day*.—Richmond Times. hand lo the national throat-cutting, which she has managed to keep out of In the pa«t by keeping to herself. It shows, too, that China Is not Ig norant about nations on this side of the ocean. She probably took Mexico's measure before she allow ed her warship to eet sail. She may run up against the Monroe Doctrine somewhere on the route, and then China and her boat will have “an other thought coming." But a fight between China and Mexico would be worth seeing, naval engagement between tho two countries might not be so much, but if Uncle Sam or some other nation would keep tho Mexicans from butchering the Chinese until all of their men could be landed, a war might follow that would compare favorably with the best revolutions that have been pulled off in Nicara gua and Venezuela. It would be mostly noise—Boxer and Greaser chatter—but It would be entertain ing none the less. China ha* demanded six million dollars in gold for the outrage per petrated by the massacre of so many Chinese. Diaz Is said to have taken all of the gold with him, it will probably be difficult for the Chinks to get the satisfaction which they want. If not, they can make faces at the greaners, treat them with -scorn and return to the Flow ery Kingdom. Nothing extraordinary will probably come from the gall ing of the Chinese warship for Mex ican waters, but the Incident Is Im portant a* indicating that Chinn Is oienlng her eye* and that the day which Napoleon dreamed of Is grad ually coming — the day of tho awakened China." THIRTY YEARS AGO. A writer iu a French woman's pa per makes an interesting comparison between the cost of living for fash ionable women of today aiid thirty years ago. An Income of $4,000 was count ed as wealthy thirty year* ago," ys the writer. “The women who dress In the height of fashion paid anything between $30 and $60 for a smart frock, while a hat that cost a 9 much as $20 was looked upon a* an unheard of extravagance.

Women, especially old maid* and widows, yield easily to the lure of “quick returns." Some firmi deal almost exclusively with women. r ihelr office furniture and personnel, Jbeir stationery, their representa tives, are selected according to the principle* which obtain In high- giado department or Jewelry stores. While the majority of “suckers" are drawn from the Hleterate work ing class, no other ciasa of men fur nishes a larger percentage of vic tims than ministers and priests. They are not Infrequently approached by or reached through other ministers. Tney do not bother much about ex aminlng the proposition itself; they wish to know about the promoter as a man; they assume that a good man could not bo associated with a wicked enterprise. Therefor© circulars destined to Impress ministers and priests into parting with their savings dilate up on the fact that the president of the company is a regular churchgoer, has been acivc in prohibition cam paigns, does not smoke, or ha* do nated a memorial church window.— Andre Trldon, In Harper’s Weekly.
