Japanese Fans,
Though the Japanese folded fan is a
common object in this country, little
is known of its manufacture. One of
the largest factories is at Kioto, where
an average of 3,000‘000 fans yearly are
turned out Spain is the principal cus
tomer for the Kioto fans, Italy com
ing next in importance and then the
United States and Mexico. The fans
are not at all easy to manufacture, as

BIZET AND HALEVY,
The Story of the Origin of a Popu
lar Air In “Carmen.”
Bizet, the composer of the world fa
tuous opera “Carmen/’ and Halevy,
bis librettist, once occupied apartments
whose outer doors opened on the same
landing. As soon as he had finished an
air Bizet would hasten to submit it to
his neighbor, who subjected it to the
most severe criticism. Prom morning
to night the piano resounded in the
composer’s apartments. One night
Bizet finished a dramatic bit in which
he flattered himself he had success
fully sketched the pride of a trium
phant toreador after a successful bull
fight. But Halevy listened in silence
and.: showed but a moderate enthu
siasm. Bizet, somewhat piqued, asked
the cause of this coldness.
“It’s good, I admit,” said Halevy.
“In fact, it’s too good. It lacks move
ment—it lacks snap—in short, it’s not
popular enough.”
“Not popular enough!” shouted the
piqued composer. “Do you want to
write for the slums?” He went out in
a huff, but soon relented and in an
hour returned with another air. “Lis
ten to this,” said he; “here is my
toreador idea written down to your
popular level.” It was indeed the song
of the toreador, and the only one which
on the first night received an encore
and seemed to move the first night
audience from its torpor.—Chicago

Bard on the Father.
A little girl three years old who is
very fond of music has a father who
cannot distinguish one tune from an
other. However, she is always urging
him to sing. He was trying his best
to please her with a hymn one day
and flattered himself that he was do
ing very well. Suddenly the little ty
rant turned upon him and demanded:
“Why don’t you sing, daddy? You’re
only making a npise.”—New York
Press.

ON SHAKING HANDS
It’s .this way:
You can bum yourself with Fire, with
Powder, etc., or you can scald yourself
with Steam or Hot Water, but there is
only one proper way to cure a bum or
scald and that is by using
Mexican
Mustang Liniment.
It gives immediate relief. Get a piece of soft old
linen cloth, saturate it with this liniment and bind
loosely npon the wound. You can have no adequate
idea what an excellent remedy this is for a bum until
you .have tried it.
The Defensive Reason Why |he
Right Was First Used.
Did you ever stop to think about the
custom of shaking hands and wonaer
why it is that we always shake the
right hand? Probably you have never
thought about it at all or if you have
you think that the only reason for
using your right hand is that you were
taught not to use your left one, says
the Buffalo Courier. In reality this
custom, now so common, is a very an
cient one, and it originated in this way:
In the days when people were not so
peaceable as they now are and when
each man settled his quarrels in his
own way every man carried a sword
or dagger to defend himself. This
sword was worn on the left side, where-
the right hand could quickly grasp it
for use in time of peril.
Therefore when a man wished to
show that he was friendly he extended
his right hand, which would be clasped
by the other’s right hand if he, too,
meant peace. Thus each could be sure
that the other would not dr£w his
sword.
With the dawn of more peaceful
times the custom lost its one time pur
pose, but it still retains its original
meaning—to show friendship.

The Burmese Game of Chess.
The Burmese game seems to be rath
er a heavy variety of chess, the pecul
iarity of it being that a pawn “queens”
When it strikes an imaginary diagonal
line drawn from the player’s left hand
corner to the right hand corner in front
of him—his opponent’s left hand cor
ner. The pieces are massed on the
player’s right hand, but the three priv
ileged pawns—there are only three
allowed to “queen”—can only Vqueen”
When the queen has been taken. We
Should say here that no piece equiva
lent to our queen really exisits in east
ern chess, the most powerful piece be
ing equivalent to our rook or castle.
In the Burmese game the privilege of
translation confers no higher hand on
a piece than that of “chekoy”—called
queen in European equivalence by vir
tue of its being unique—a piece pos
sessing scarcely, more power than a-
pawn. The usual move of the piece
called “queen” in all oriental varie
ties of chess is one square diagonally
and it is never one of the superior
pieces.—London Spectator.

A Plant 1,000 Years Old.'
In the town of Hildersheim, Ger
many, is probably the most unique
plant in the world. It is a rosebush
1,000 year old and sprouts from its
branches have realized fabulous sums.
Borne years ago a rich Englishman of
fered $250,000 for this entire tree, but
the sum was indignantly refused. This
wonderful plant clings amid thickly
grown moss against the side of the fa
mous old Church of St. Michael. It is
elaimed that it has bloomed perennial
ly since the days of King Alfred, and
this statement has never been disput
ed, for its record has been as carefully
kept as the pedigree of the bluest
blooded family in the kingdom. It
IS supposed to have been discovered
by some mysterious means through
the medium of King Louis of Hilder-
sheim as far back as 1032.

Reverence For the Beard.
Former reverence for the beard is
well illustrated by the story told of
Sir Thomas More, who was beheaded
for denying the supremacy of Henry
VIII. His usual cheerfulness did not
forsake him even on the scaffold.
“Help me up.” he said to one standing
by: “for my coming down let me shift
for myself.” As he laid his head on
the block he begged the executioner to
wait a moment while he carefully
placed his beard out of reach of the
ax, for, he said, “it hath not commit
ted treason,” which reminds one of the
story of Simon Lord Lovat, who the
day before his execution on Tower
hill bade the operator who shaved him
be cautious not to cut bis throat, as
such an. accident would cause disap
pointment to the gaping crowd on the
morrow.—English Magazine.
