Dreadful Picture Of the Persian Fam
inc.

Statistics will show far more forcibly
than could any exercise of the imagina-
tion how bitter were the sufferings of
the Persians while the lord of all that
fair land of Ivan was spending untold
gold in his visit TO Europe. Hardly had
DIR. Bellew and his English fellow
travellers who have told the story left
Afghanistan than the signs OF the long
three years of famine were seen on every
hand. Everywhere were deserted houses
upon which the curse had laid its malig-
nant hand. The green and beautifully
follated trees, the vineyards and
orchards stood in stark contrast to the
misery that reigned around. The high
roads were insecure, for the Turcomans
had everywhere resumed their old habits
of plundering, robbing, and numbering.
Meschld, out of population of $4,000,
had lost 20, 900 inhabitants, who, without
offering the slightest resistance, had been
marched off to slavery in Khiva and
BOkhara, or had perished of hunger In
such numbers did the starving wretches
allow themselves to be led to chains for
the sake of food that the gates of the
city had to be locked to keep any in
habitants i'll the city. We give few of
the most fearful examples of misery.
Only four families remain in Mahiabad
Out of 400 in Ghibk, only $50 inhabitants
are left. In Kun numbers of families
strayed away to look for food where in
deed none was to be had. The survivors
were too feeble to bury the dead, who,
exposed, added pestilence to famine.
In Damgha2, teIegraphic station east
of Teheran, only 200 families remain out
of 1000, and in Teheran itself 200 per-
sons persisted weekly of starvation and
typhus. The District of Turbet HardaIi
lost 10000; the District of Selzwar.
$4,000; of Nischapur, at least 1900; 4;
Hamadan lost between 81, 900 and $4,000;
and in Kirmanscha alone IL, 900 perished
of hunger. OAAhe whole journey from
the frontiers of Afghanistan to the Per-
sian capital DIR. Bellew saw not one
child; all were dead. Nowhere vas there
music, singing or joy. All was sorrow,
death, misery.-N. Y. Graphic.

Seeing if the House Is On Fire.

1t is very easy matter, says the Buff
falo Commercial Adperttser, for some one
member of family to make it a rule to
examine carefully, after the others have
retired, every place where there is a pos
sibilitv that fire could be ignited with
danger to the house. Five minutes given
to the examination of furnaces, stoves,
fire-places and their surroundings might
be all that was necessary to prevent a Sc
rious and dreadful conflas ration. And
the IdUertiser instances the case of a
housekeeper, who has been a faithful
family servant for thirtyfive years-a
long time in these days of "hired help"
This conscientious woman made it mat
ter, one might almost say of religion, to
go every night, after the family had re-
tired, without a light, from garret to Gel
lar, to see if every chance of accident
from fire was removed. Eidicule did not
make her swerve from this habit. One
evening, after the departure of some
guests and retiring of the family, on her
usual rounds, she found the hat-stand in
a blaze. Calling the master of the house,
with his assistance, but with no little
trouble, the flames were put out. 1t
seems that the umbrellas in the rack
had been ignited by spark from a cigar
held by one of the visitors as he took his
hat from the stand. Needless to say that
the hOusekeeper, after recovering from
her fright, was more than ever convinced
that it did pay to see if the house is on
fire.

There is great difference in doctors, in
their theory and practice and their success
that it seems the most natural thing in the
world Though we do not know that it evei
has been done except in one or two instances
for Life Companies to graduate their charges
for Insurance according to the skill and intel
ligencc of the party's family physician. This
idea is being carried out with remarka Bile sue
cess by the Homeopathic Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company of New York. Its last state
ment, published on Jan. L, 1875, shows that
during the last seven years it has insured
5,l73 persons who employed Homeopathic
practice, of whom thirty -fourths
of 1 per cent.-have died in that period, while
out of ,635 persons insured who did not en-
ploy Homeopathic physicians fifty-or over
3 per cent--have died.
This would seem almost incredible were il
not backed up by other reliable statistics
which the company has collected from other
sources, and which it has also published and
largely distributed. But the Homeopathic
Mutual' clinchcs its belief by its practice,
and boldly offers to insure its adherents at
rates from 10 to IL per cent less than the reg
ular terms. 1t evidently means business
and, according to its statement, appears to be
among the soundest and most vigorous of the
younger companies. Parties desiring further
Information or to act as agents can obtain all
statistics by addressing the Company, 23l

Halr-Hardy Trees and Wind Shelter.

EVERY once in while we come across
a statement that this tree or that is not
hardy. There is no doubt that SO far as
temperature is concerned the trees re-
ferred TO will stand all the cold they are
likely to meet with in the regions referred
to, but still the trees die.
1t may be as well to remind our friends
who lose their trees that it is not SO
much frost as wind which DESTROYS them.
Death is the result of the whipping out
of the juices of the tree and not by the
freezing of its cells. And it is no proof
that because tree dies in an exposed
windy place that " it is not hardy in
the dcponent's latitude. That trees die
under different circumstances, where
they were thought hardy, is no wonder
to those who are familiar with trees.
Indeed, it is rather wonder that SO
many live that do.
Generally it is the tree nature to be
gregarious. They grow up in forests
thousands together and by mutual pro-
lection hardly know what wind is. The
falling leaves protect the young plants,
SO that In the severest winters day one
may go into a dense wood and hardly
find frost an inch below the surface. So
that trees growing in the woods have II
severe waste of their juices by their
mutual protection from wind, and the
roots, without much hindrance from
frosty ground, draw in moisture all the
winter through and thus easily supply
what little waste there may be.
How different is this from a trees
usual fate. Set out alone to battle with
the winds unaided, and with the frost en-
casing every root, SO that all the moist
ure they can take up has to be first
thawed by their own internal heat from
1 q frozen
numbers perish? 1t is not in the nature
OF things to be otherwise, and it shows
rather Il limited acquaintance with plant
life when the loss occasions any surprise.
But there is not Il place in the whole
country but might do well. The coldest
place on the bleakest Western prairie,
by thick planting of the valuable trees,
and planting of shelter belts of larches
or other wind-proof trees, might have
everything we have-everything we call
half hardy-everything in fact that any
reasonable horticulturist could wish
To be sure much has been done in this
direction in the West The agricultural
papers and agricultural writer's have
written over and over again as to the ne
cessity of shelter belts before much can
be done; but when we read, as we con-
tinually do, of experiments with these
trees or those, and the conclusions come
to that they are not hardy West" when
we know ii is all matter of wind and
not of frost, we see how much more is to
be done in pushing Il knowledge of the
shelter idea before those regions can
half enjoy the full pleasure of horticul.

Swell Servants In England.

Says London correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercials:
Although all hope of recovering the
jewels OF Lady Dudley has vanished
their real value was e3O, ,OOO-there is
still good deal of speculation about
their disappearance, and pretty general
belief that some one of his Lordship's
servants must have been at least an ac-
complice in the transaction. 1t is diff
cult to believe that a box of such value
intrusted to the care of servants could
have disappeared in a railway station
from unwilling hands, or that an outside
thief could have known so much about
the movements of the family as to have
been on the spot at the precise moment.
However this may be, there is no doubt
that the English nobility have way of
employing servants which offers grand
opportunities to rogues. In most cases
the outside of the servants is tine chief
thing. If the coachman or footman is
good-looking in his livery and of the re-
quired dimensions his character is not
inquired into. A well known Duke re-
Gently advertised for footman of exact
ly five feet eleven inches In height,
whose sole business it would be to stand
at the back of his coach beside another
of like stature. A youth, new in the en-
ploy OF lady OF my acquaintance, ap-
piled for the advertised position,
and says that his character was
not asked for; he was taken into
the servants hall and measured,
and dismissed for lacking the half inch
demanded by the Duke. There is a
passion for tallness in servants, and of
one noble family, at least, it is a rule to
admit no man servant under six feet.
There are six of these eminent person
ages in their fine mansion. The English
servants are goOd-looking, neat, and con-
stitutional t1unkeys and flunkeyesses.
They are very shrewd, and have their
class rules as well defined as any trade
union. Downing street does not possess
more pigeon-holes and red tape than a
mansion of the wealthy. An upper
house maid would die at the stake before
she would do bit of work that came
within the province of the under house
maid. A swell butler would throw up
his position in the face of the Lord Chan
ccllor himself if he were expected to
black his own boots. There are many
boys of thirteen kept in brass buttons,
and in many instances the sole duty of
this boy is to brush the clothes and boots
of the butler, the master of the house
having his own separate valet. OF course,
it is not pride which has made the in
flexible laws of etiquette among these
servants, by which they refuse to step
out of an official groove or function 1t
is the determination of their class to
preserve the conventional number of the
servants required for any first class
household. They particularly dislike
servants from other countries, especially
the Germans, because if well paid and
well treated they will do anything re-
quested of them.

D0n't-Pray Don't.

Don't tell the little one, who may be
slie htly willful, that :" the black man will
come out of the dark cellar and carry it
off if it does not mind" Don't create a
needless fear to go with the child through
all the stages of its existence.
Don't tell the little five-y ear-old Jimmy
the school-ma'a am will cut off his ears, "
'puil out his teeth" "tie him up," or
any of the horrible stories that are com
monty presented to the childish imagina-
ton. Think you the little one will be-
lieve anything you tell him after he be-
comes acquainted with the gentle teacher
who has not the least idea of putting those
terrible threats into execution.
Don't tell the children they must not
drink tea because it will make them
black, while you continue the use of it
than precept; and while your face is MS
fair June morning they will scarcely
credit the oft-told tale. Either give up
drinking the pleasant beverage or give
your children a better reason for it's nom
use.
Don't tell them they must not eat sugar
or sweetmeats because it will rot their
teeth. Pure sugar does not cause the
teeth to decay, and sugar with fruits is
nutritious and healthy notwithstanding
the ''oid saw" to the contrary. The case
of city children is often cited; the cause
of their pale faces and slight constitu-
tions being charged to an over amount of
sweetmeats with their diet when the
actual cause is want of pure air and prop
er exercise.
Don't tell the sick one that the medi-
cine is not bad to take, when you can
hardly keep your own stomach from
turning " inside out" at the smell of it.
Better by far tell him the simple truth,
that il is disagreeable but necessary for
his health, and you desire him to take it
ut once. Ten to one he will swallow it
with half the trouble of coaxing and wor-
ry of words, and love you better for your
firm, decided manner
Don't teach the children by example to
tell white lies to each other and to their
neighbors. Guard lips and bride tongue
if you desire to have the coming genera
tion truthful. Truthfulness is one of the
foundation stones of heaven. Remem-
Der the old, old book says, no liar" shall
enter within the gates of the beautiful
city. There is no distinction between
white lies and those of a darker hue.

matter be great or small.-Rural Neao

FIre-PrOOf Clothing for Women.

During the past year the usual list OF
accidents arising from skirts taking fire
has been given in the newspapers. La
dies passing or sitting near an open fire
of coal or wood; children left to their
own devices before the nursery CRATE,
and actresses swinging their trains too
near the foot-lights, have all contributed
their sad stories of death or disfigure-
ment. Moved by the reiterated rel orIs
of such casualties, Queen Victoria, some
years ago, requested Prof. Graham, a
chemist ot high standing, to institute ex-
pcriments with view 10 finding some
M 1thod of rendering cotton fabrics fire.
proof 1t was admitted that while fire
might be communicated to other fabrics,
cotton alone flashed into flame upon the
slightest provocation. The investiga-
tions of Prof, Graham, aided by two dis
tinguished German experts, resulted in
a recommendation of certain salts of am
monia as most effective for the desired
purpose, and rot at all injurious to the
goods. Sulphate OF ammonia in solution,
containing 10 per cent. of the salt, re
ceived pieces of finished muslin that
were dried rapidly in Il machine known
as hydro extractor" The fabrics thus
treated proved wholly uninfiammable
while their Co!Ors were undiminished,
and even that tint was only modified
slightly, and rendered less gaudy by the
operation. Just as women would sponge
cloth before transforming into garments
let them wash new muslin in the ammo
mia salt referred to. The soiled articles
already made up should, after washing
and drying as usual, be subjected tc
another dip in the salt before ironing,
and they are then Xetropoli-

Collars, Cuffs, Etc.

THE coming novelties in ladies' Tnge-
rie are Byron collars and cuffs; indeed,
they have already been introduced and
have become popular with fair young la
dies whose complexion can endure this
broad expanse of linen-boarding-sch
girls especially delight in them. They
are like gentlemcn's shirt-collars with
rather more exaggerated points. They
are made of doubled linen attached to a
band, as gentlemen wear them, and would
be improved by having a collarettc of
muslin added. Price twenty-five cents.
The cuffs, made to match. are wide and
square-cornered and are worn turned up
on the outside of the sleeve of the dress.
The fashion of wearing linen cuffs out
side the sleeve is about to be revived.
Those now seen are made to order for la
dies who lead fashion; they are narrow
on the inside of the arm and extend to "A
deep point outside, where they are fast
ened by three linen buttons. Other new
linen cuffs are straight, deep and large,
with fall below the button holes. which
may be edged with needlewoIk or lace
or merely stitched.
New colofed collars and cuffs of the
English standing shape are of solid-col-
o. ed percale ins,ead of plaid or striped.
