Tie SHAH OF PRRsIA's JEwELs.-The
Jewels of the Shah have quite surpassed
the reports of their size aud value which
preceded their owners arrival. The
treasury OF Persia. We all know, was
rich, to an incredible richness, with nc.
cumuiated weaith OF the sort; but no
one was prepared to see M morialiJus oculis,
q diamond nearly twice as large as the
koh.i-noor, or Mountain of Light" I"
(now in the possession of tho Queen of
England, once Rungect Sing, the lion of
Lahore's greatest glory,) stuck in front
OF mans sword belt, and five diamonds,
each larger than that jewel Of Jewels,
en- echeton, up his coat from waist to
shoulder. These stones are scarcely cut,
and do not show az they ought, but they
are OF snrpa ssing purity. The Shah's
sword belt is treasure-house in itself.
The sheath is studied with rubies, eme-
raids and diamonds, which shame their
setting of purest gold. The front of his
coat is garpished with rows of briiliants
instead OF lace. Tho collar and sleeves
are crusted with them. and his orders are
OF the most precious jowels. His spurs
flash like sun-besms. All this OH the

It next made its appearance in Calcutta: !:
in 1919, it extended to the Burmese en-.

where $50. 900 persons lost their lives.
In succeeding years, it visited Persia,

peared in Southern Russia, and at Mos.

Fattening Women for the Mat
rimonial Market.

Throughout the interior of Africa,
and indeed in some parts of Asia, a
woman is priced for fatness. Beauty is
associated with excessive obesity; and
such being the public sentiment, moth
ers seasonably commence a system of
dietetic treatment that makes their
daughters irresistible. Colonel Keat-
ing's travels give an account of the pro-
cess of fatting a young woman for a
Tunis market. As soon as betrothed,
she is cooped up in small room, with
shackles on her ankles. If her proprie-
tor has lost wife by death or divorced
one, their anklets are sent forward for
the new matrimonial candidate. When
she has attained desirable size, indi-
Gated by filling the pattern rings she
is carried in triumph to her new home.
The preparation of food that actually
produces that coveted dimensson- a
mountain of fatness-is called drough,
made of seeds of a vegetable peculiar to
the country. Some positively die from
excessive fatness in an effort to surpass
in that bewitching accomplishment ri
val candidates for matrimonial positions
These famous mortals are not the poor
girls. They are the higher orders in
society, and therefore are ambitions,
like fashionables in some civilized States
of securing an elevated position with a
rich husband. Bruce, the traveller, saw a
great queen in Africa n gem ofa woman
the envy of her sex and wife-hunters,
who weighed OYER four hundred.

Tattlers.

They pry into the private affairs of
every family in the neighborhood; they
know the exact state of neighbors
family, and no blunder on their part es-
capes their most vigilant watehfulness.
They glide quietly from lady TO gentle
man, from mother to daughter, from
father to son, and into the ears of all
they pour bitter whispers of slander
and abuse. Their nauseous pills are
sugar coated with smiles, and with
words of friendship. They are confin-
ed to no particular class and they oper-
ate in all. We find them in the "upper
million" and the slower million, "a
the church and out of it. Ihey are
people who have no higher ambition
than to be well-informed in regard 20
other peoples business, to retail scanaai
to their nelghbors, and exult In nendisn
triumphs over wounded feelings and
bruised hearts.

Peculiar People.

People who like bagpipes. People
who dislike oysters. People who have
no poor relations. People who dye
their hair. People who like getting up
early in the morning. People who have
more money than they know what to
do with. People who give donations
to street beggars and organ grinders.
People who take long walks before
breakfast. People who light and leave
off fires on fixed days. People who
like paying income tax. People who
give large parties in small rooms. Peo-
pie who have ice broken to enable them
to bathe in Winter. People who keep
all their old letters. People without
prejudices, weaknesses, antipathies, hob
bies, crotchetS, or favorite theories.
People who have nothing the matter
with their digestion, and can eat any
thing. People who take snuff. Peop.e
who hold their tongues.

Another Victim.

A Butler county man has been victi-
mized by accepting, as he supposed, an
agency for patent roofing. He finds
now that the agreement he signed is a
note for $3.50. He spends at least four
dollars advertising that he will not pay
the note. If he had spent two dollars
in paying for the county paper and then
read it, he need not have been victimiz-
ed. Now he will probably have to pay
the note. All kinds of swindlers are
operating through the county, and we
would warn our readers to keep clear
of them. Do not sign your name to
any paper without thoroughly under
standing its contents. If man wants
to sell you, for trifling sum, a receipt
or a patent for making your fortune, or
to sell you goods at less than cost, set
him down for swindler, and kick him
off the premises, if you are able.

New Years Day, according to the
Chinese calendar, comes on the 2Sth OF
January, and the Celestials of San Fran
cisco celebrated it after their own home
fashion. The wealthy traders walked
about attired in long silk gowns, and
the women had their hair dressed in the
most gorgeous style. The Chinese res
taurants and stores on Dupont and Sac
ramento streets, were visited by many
American ladies and gentlemen, to
whom delicacies were politely offered
Business was entirely suspended and
the time devoted to merry-making. The
next day was sacred to dinner parties
and, it is estimated, to regular debanch
of opium smoking.

MEASURING THE BABY.

We measured riotous baby
Against the cottage wall;
A lily grew at the threshold.
And the boy was just as tall.
A royal tiger lily,
With spots of purple and gold,
And heart like q jeweled chalice,
The fragrant dew to hold
Without the blackbird whistled,
High up in the old roof-trees,
And TO and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees;
And the wee pink fists of baby
Were never q moment still,
Snatching at shine and shadow
That danced at the lattice-sill-
All me! in darkened chamber,
With the sunshine shut away,
Through tears that fell like bitter rain,
We measured the baby to-day,
And the little bare feet that were dimplet
And sweet as budding rose,
Lay side by side together
In the hush Of a long repose.
Up from the dainty pillow.
White as the risen dawn,
A fair little face lay smiling
With the light Of heaven thereon:
And the dear little hands. like rose leaves
Dropped from the rose, lay still.
Never to catch at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded sill.
We measured the sleeping baby
With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood casket
That waited him below,
And out of darkened chamber
We went with q childless moan;
For to the height of the sinless angels
Our dear little one had grown.

One-Dollar Judges.

| To-day saw friend who has lived
here many years, and was helped out
of several little difficulties by A, the
former vice-consul. He was very clev-
er, and knew how to manage the Judge
which seems to be the key of the whole
administration of Roman law. My
friend said he had servant whom he
caught stealing, and turned him out oi
the house. The servant brought suit
against the. master for a months
wages. He sent for A, who said he
would see the business settled. He went
to the judge, and made his statement
at the same time presenting his honor
with a five-franc piece SNAKE yourself
easy,". the judge, 81 will attend to
the matter" The complainant was
told to go about his business; and if
he was ever caught trying to cheat
foreigners again, he would be sent to
prison. Now, this was simple and ef-
fective method. A little oil applied to
the wheels of justice, the car moves on,
and your business is done. Nothing
more is required. Unfortunately, my
prejudices are so fixed, that could not
consent to bribe judge or even GRIM
inal; and if that skillful Vice-Consul
A., had not gone to that other world,
where it may be hoped justice is both
swift and accurate, he could not be OF
use to me.
| Jan. ia bitter cold morning is
this in Rome; and it is early work to
be at the judges house at nine O'Clock
but we do it, and, as might be expected,
are kept waiting an hour or more. The
house is very cold with brick floors
and we sit shivering. On the other
side of the room are ranged four or five
witnesses for the other side.
After waiting an hour and half, M.
is called into the other room, where she
finds the judge in his dressing-gown
and slippers, also the two lawyers. l dc
not hear what is going on there, but in
distinct murmurs varied by an OCCASION
al laugh. They keep her about two
hours to tell what she knows of the
agreement. When she comes out she
looks tired but amused. Says after she
had told all she knew, and they had
written it down, they asked her to
swear to it. "Read it over to me first
1 wish to know what L am swearing
to-" Again she made them read it.
that she might be sure. "You are very
CAREFUL" said the judge. 81 wish all
witnesses were as careful to know what
they are swearing to-" YES" said M.
sit is serious thing to swear falsely
and do not wish to be in danger of do
ing it. In my country. a witness who
swears falsely is liable to be sent te
prison for twenty years." What
twenty years, imprisonment for falst
swearing only" The judge was as.
tonished; the lawyers held up theil
hands in amazement at such tyranny
practiced in a free country. Indeed
the judge became more and more agi
tated the more he considered this phe
nomenon, till M.thought he might have
a conculso, which is a common termina
ton of too much excitement among
this sensitive people. But the examin
alton of this witness ended withou
such catastrophe. On the whole, th'
court seemed never to tire of askin:
questions of so intelligent and lively {
witness; and 1 think they prolonge'
her examination unnecessarily. - Ot

Yes, Charles, indeed. I've thought of it hun =

A German poet has lately written a
touching poem, in which the hero is
represented as devoured by alligators
under palm tree on the shore OF Lake
Erie. The heroine hears of the dread
full fate of her lover down in the glades
of Florida, near the banks of Lake Su-
perior, where she is living, and rushes
down South to Lake Erie, and lays
wait for that crocodile, captures him,
cuts him open, extracts the bones OF
her dead lover, purchases rich coffin,
and has him inferred in magnificent
style in Greenwood Cemetery, in New
York, in the State of st. Louis. The
poem is too affecting.

1t is stated that during the last year
1000 pounds of walnut kernels were
shipped from Broadway depot, Rock
ingham county, Virginia. They sold
in Baltimore market at thirty cents pei
pound, bringing 5000. These walnut
kernels were gathered mainly by poor
children who had no other way in which
to turn an honest penny. They are
used in making candy.
The great fire in New York, in 1850
was only a 10000, 600 affair.
The Scriptures have been translated

1t is rather expensive to tell town
clerk of Massachusetts, young lady is
older than she really is, besides being
peculiarly narrowing to the feelings of
the lady herself. There was young
man who wanted to marry a young miss
of fourteen. He told the clerk she was
sixteen, and for that little act of his
imagination he was fined $500.
A poetic Hibernian explains that love
is commonly spoken of as "name'
because it's a finder sentiment.
