Stoned to Death.

The details of the receI4t terrible mur-
der of jew in Hamadan (Ekbatana of
the ancients), in Persia, have been re-
ceived. A wealthy Persian owed a
large sum of money to the Rabbi
Ohaiim, who asked the Persian to repay
him one day when they CHANGED to meet
in bazaar. A quarrel ensued, and the
crowd which had collected asked the
Persian what the cause of the trouble
was. He determined to get rid of his
creditor, and turning to the crowd, said:
eff this man had merely insulted me /
should have kept silent, but he has
abused our religion and blasphemed the
prophets. 1 cannot, therefore, be
silent" The crowd fell upon the rabbi
and threatened to kill him. He took
refuge in the neighboring house of a
rich Persian, to whom he appealed for
protection. The latter concealed the jew
in an inner room and barred the doors
of the house. The crowd demanded his
surrender. The noble Persian refused,
and the doors were broken down. The
lawless rabble poured in, found the
fugitive, dragged him into the street,
and stoned him to death. The dead
body was dragged about the town with
jeers and finally brought into the market
place, where the mouth was filed with
powder and the head was blown in
pieces. A fire was then kindled and the
corpse was burnt up. -Four Jews, who
had fallen into the hands of the mob,
were i'll treated and severely wounded
The dwellings of the Israelites were
plundered, and a general massacre OF
all the Jews-and Christians likewise
would have followed had not the authori
ties INTERVIEWED. The Jews Of the city
have sent deputation to Teheran tC
appeal for projection to the foreigI
ministers there, as they have no hope'
of any aid from the shah.

Familiarity with dangerous things en-
genders carelessness; hence numerous
accidents. A while ago lecture on ex-
plosives was to be given in neighbor-
ing city, and illustrated by experiments.
Just before the time for the lecture to
begin, ono of the committee of arrange
ments approached the lecturer, and ex-
pressed his regret that no package of
materials had arrived, and suggested
that something else be substituted for
the proposed experiments. 1t is all
right, smilingly replied the lecturer
Il have the nitro-glycerine and all the
other things with me, in my pockets. y
The committee man retired to safe dis
tance from the platform.

Odd Meeting OF Brothers.

A curious story is this from Kentucky
paper: "Some time since an old gentle
man of our county went over into Indiana
to buy some stock. Returning, he EN-
barked upon one of the Green River boats
for Bowling Green. At the same time an
other gentleman and his wife came aboard
for the same destination, and on the trip
up of over day aud night he, in general
conversation, remarked that he had been
gone to Texas twenty five years, aud was
now returning 10 his boyhot,d's home TO
see his relatives. The two old men were
noticed in conversation several times, but
the subject must have been Of general or
casual character. After landing at Bow
ling Green, and all were making prepara-
lions to disembark, the Texan came up to
the Captain and asked if he could prob
ably get conveyance out to MIR. John H =;
that he was his only brother, and he had
not seen him for twenty five years, and
concluded by asking if he knew him. The
Captains establishment, increasing all the
time, eliminated At the last question, and
he exclaimed: Why, man, MIR. John II.
is on the boat; came on st Evansville q
the same time you did, and have seen
YOU talking together coming up. The
Texas brother sprang as il electrified, and,
running back through the cabins, the
long separated brothers were soon locked
in each others arms. The singular &C.
currence excited . good deal Of interest
and merriment at the time, which was en-
hanced by the fact that. after examining
them together after the denouement, all
parties agreed that they very closely re-
sembled each other, and yet they had been
thirty odd hours together on the boat, had
conyersed on several occasions, and neither
had the slightest suspicion Of the identity
of the other"

Life In Greenland.

Greenland was settled in 1921 by the
Danes. The country had been visited and
cOlOniZed as early as the tenth century by
the Icelanders, but these colonies were de-
stroyed by the pestilence called the black
death in the fourteenth century or early in
the fifteenth. The present Danish settle
mems are all situated on the west coast,
and contain about 10, 600 inhabitants. The
region of Disco Bay may be regarded as
the type of the entire western coast of
Greenland. In this region the winter is
extremely cold, and the ground is covered
with snow from September till May or
early in June. During this period the
whole sea is covered with ice, and the
Danes and Esquimaux visit from settle
ment to settlement in sledges drawn by
dogs. During the summer, under the
four months Of continually daylight, the
snow melts over the lower lands, and the
heat is often extreme. Mosquitoes are
troublesome, and travelling is attended
with great discomfort. The day may be
bright and sunny in the morning, and in
the evening there may be snow, sleet and
all the concomitants of spring or winter.
In September the weather Is uncertain,
and the nights are very dark and cold.
The trade of Danish Greenland is a
strict crown monopoly, and is admins
tered by Government officials solely for
the benefit Of the natives. The principle
adopted is to buy the natives blubber,
skins, ivory, ETC., at q low price and to
sell to them articles of European manu-
facture which ale necessary to their COM
fort at an equally low figure; coffee and
other luxuries are sold at good profit.
The surplus is credited to each district,
and expended tor the public good, by the
little local parliaments (Partisoks) Of the
districts, the members of which (par,is9ts)
are elected by universal suffrage. The
settlements are known as colonies, and
each is presided over by "colonibes-
tyrer" (best man in tile colony. The
other noiables OF the colony are the coloni-
bestyrer's assistant, the cooper, the car
penter, and, if the settlement is large, the
Lutheran parson and the schoolmaster-
the latter generally an educated native.
The most exciting event in the settlement
is the arrival of the annual ship from
Copenhagen. Pianos are not unknown in
the houses Of the Danish officials, and the
Tauchnitz edition. of the best English
authors is to be found in the Governors"
house.
The Danish Governments treat the ma
tives with the most paternal care. No
spirits are allowed to be sold to them,
schools are provided, and altogether the
rule of the little northern kingdom is pro-
ductive of very good results. Theft is
practically unknown in Danish Green

Young Ladies Of Santa Cruz.

A correspondent of the Boston Adoer-
tiser in the Canary Islands writes from
Santa Cruz de Teneriffe: The young Ia
dies of Santa Cruz fully sustain the repu.
tation tor beauty universally bestowed
upon their sex in the mother country,
spain; but, owing to the seclusion and
strict discipline with which they are
brought up, they have lost the spirit and
animation which belongs to them from
nature, or they keep it wonderfully we'll
subdued. They enter and leave ball
room ut the end Of the evening with the
same demure and Indifferent countenance,
though they may have been dancing al
most every dance with 4 newly accepted
sutton to their hand Some of their Gus
toms strike'a foreigner as strange at first;
for instance, it is customary to shake
han,ts with every one in the room, If one
enters before the dancing has commenced,
without an Introduction, and this suffices
US an introduction during the even
ing. After meeting lady two or three
times in society, one is allowed to address
her by her Christian name; in fact, there
seems to be great freedom of discourse in
society, always under the eye of mamma,
however; for young girl is never allowed
out of the sight of some near relative un.
iii she is delivered into the hands of her
husband. If girl has . suitor she may
make an appointment to receive him on
her sidewalk, while she stretches herself
out of second story window and talks
with him for an hour ut time. The
Spanish men must be endowed with ne
culiar necks to permit them 10 stand in
such = constrained position. They say
that the ladies here have . great horror Of
being the first at an entertainment, and
that on the occasion of . certain ball
which was given at Laguna "a town up

guests kept sending their servants to in

quite practicable, as every one lives within

euns. The result was that the expectant
host and hostess sat half the night out in

untastea viands stared them in the face
like a specter feast, none of the guests
having arrived, t-r. So s..
