Parisians owe their Intent and most
original faacy la fans to the gnllnntrj
of a well-known dramatist. One of hla
friends, (jounteas , famous sports
woman and capital nhot,1 sent hltn a
pheasant of unusually beautiful col
oring. This prize bird the playwright,
who In alao something of an artist,
took to a chic fanmnkcr whose be
jewelled creations of gauze and pre
cious luce complete tho court attire
of many a royal princess. Under his
workmen's skillful hands the countess'
gorgeous trophy was fashioned Into a
unique fan which, when shut, looks
like a pheasant In repos and when
opened like a pheasant In full flight.
The wings of tea bird form the two
sldes while the central part Is made
of the body and tall. The pheasant's
exquisitely shaded head is used as a
handle.
After It was finished tho dramatist
sent It to the huntress. When she ex
hibited It to her friends, they were so
dellghtod with It that they declared
they would carry bird fans and bo oth
ers this season. So now tho most re
cherche balls and evening receptions
show a bewildering array of birds of
pcadlse and peacocks with spread
feathers flaunting their gaudy plumage
against a background of light colored
decollete gowns.

been In the throes of a goncral strike
and tie-up, but ns usual In such cases
this feature Is wearing Itself out. Theso
troubles were caused by tho sliortago
of labor In noutheastern Alaska, owing
to the activity of railway building and
the dcvclojnncnt of new mines, culmi

Currlea a Mural.
In olden times, runa a Japanese
legend, a Buddhist priest became ac
quainted with u daimlo'H courier, who
on his Journeys to nnd from Tokyo
would often stop and spend the night
at the temple. He seemed to be n man
of remarkable Intelligence, with whom
ll a
11 wns a great pleasure to converse
upon all sorts of 'subjects, saya the
Youth's Companion. One night when
tho two were tnlklng together the cour
ier said :
'I thank you for the mnny favors
you have shown me since we became
friends, but to-morrow morning I must
bid you farewell and never see you
again."'
"Why must that be?" asked the
priest
I will tell you the" whole truth," an
swered the courier. "I am not n man,
bftt a fox. For the nurnose of deceiv
ing the dalmlo I assumed human form.
One of his retainers, however, became
auspicious and learned my secret He
has made a trap and baited It with a
roasted rat, In order that he mnj cap
ture me on my return Journey nnd put
me to denth. Alns! It will be Impos
sible for me to escape."
Tho priest exclaimed In astonish
ment : "Can It he true that you nre n
fox? This Is n strange story. Since you
know all about the trap, why do you
not leave the halt untouched?"
"Because It Is Impossible for a fox
when once, It smells roast rat to keep
from tasting It"
"Why, how Is It," nsked the priest
"that you, whose wisdom Is more than
that possessed by most men, can throw
away your life for tho sake of eating
n ronst rnt? Among men even n fool
would know too much for that."
Tho fox nnnwered with n bitter
lnugh: "Ah. It Is only roast rnt that
can lead a fox nstrny. But men, though
well nwnre of the danger, are caught
by their love of plenHiire, of stronz
drink or of gold. To obtain these they
nor only throw nwny their own lives.
but they bring ruin upon their families
