Persian limitations Of Antiques.

Consul-General BENJAMIN, who was
sent to Persia year ago, gives an in
teresting account of how the modern
Persians profit by the craze for antique.
He says:
'.What has been lost by Persia In the
pearl fishery she seems likely to make
up in part by the new industry of man.
ufacturing limitations of ancient Persian
arnor and coins to meet the extensive
demands of European collectors. But
the museums of Europe long since ab-
sorbed most of the best specimens of
the most interesting of the industrial
arts OF the East. Specimens still exist,
but are not easily obtained and only at
a high price, and by those able to fer
ret out the old families. II there are
no armies now to be clad with carved
and inlaid helmets. breastplates, and
buckles. there Is an army of collectors,
artists, and virtuost, studios or ban
quoting halls, and the artists of Persia
have taken up the business of manufac-
turing old arms, which may be pur--
chased for reasonable prices. Some
times these pseudo-antiques are sold
with little attempt to conceal the fact
that they are new. while in many cases
much cunning has been exercised In
giving them the appearance of antiqui-
ty. Only an expert could detect the
difference between some of these imi-
tations and the genuine antique. The
Jews of Hamadan also carry on an OK
tensive manufacture of spurious an
tique coins. That city. the ancient Ec-
batana. abounds above any other city
in Persia, probably, in antiquities. and
the soil seems to be full of gold and
silver ornaments. coins, and the like.
Although pretty well dug over of late
years. the supply does not appear to be
exhausted. Fine examples OF, the coins
OF Alexander the Great and the Sassa-
nid@ are common. but the greed with
which they have been snatched up by
travellers has led the Jews of that city
to consider it easier to counterfeit them
than to dig for them. A steady supply
OF spurious coins is therefore constant
ly furnished the market from this
source. Even gold antiques are thus
initiated. having coating of real gold,
and eleverly Stimulating all the appear
ance of age"

Bitten BY q Cobra.

Among many instances of snake-bite

young Brahmin of 20, we'll known to
me, who had been bitten during the
night while watching his maize crop.
Ere l knew of it they had brought him
into my compound in front of the bum
galow. AS yet he walked quite stead
lily, only leaning slightly on the arm of
another man. There was that peculiar
drowsy look in his eyes. however, as
from strong narcotic, which indica-
ted his having been bitten for some
time, and left but little room for hope
now. He could still clearly tell me
particulars. He had been bitten, he
said, on putting his foot to the ground.
while moving off his charpoy in ths
dark, but, thinking the bite was that
OF a non-poisonous snake, had give no
more heed to the matter, had gone to-
sleep again, till he was awoke by his
friends coming in search of him. With
some difficulty was able to find the
bite-very faint. no larger than the
prick from pin, but still the unmis-
taxable double mark of the poison
fangs. He felt the poison, he said.
gradually ascending the limb, and
pointing to q part just above the
knee, where he felt it had already
reached, the limb below that being, he
said, benumbed and painless to the
touch, like the foot when asleep" I
gave him the usual remedies, and kept
him walking to and fro but gradually
his limbs seemed to be losing their
power of voluntary motion, and his
head was beginning to droop from the
overpowering drowsiness that was
surely gathering over him. At inter-
walls he pointed out the poison line
steadily rising higher, and was still
able to answer questions clearly ON be-
ing reused. At length it seemed to be-
of no use torturing him further by
keeping him moving about, and he was
allowed to remain at rest. Shortly af-
ter this, while being supported in a sit
ting posture, all at once, without any
premonitory sign. he gave one or two
long sighs, and life ceased, about an
hour after he had himself walked into
the compound. There was something
terrible real in this faculty of pointing
out each stage of the ascending poison
(as the snake patient always can) that
was gradually bringing him nearer and
nearer to death, with the prospect of
only another hour or half hour of life
remaining to him; and yet the patient
does not seem to realize this with the
keenness that an on-looker does, prob
ably from the poison benumbing ut the
same time the power of the mind as
well as of the body. = AH the Year

Bottled Tears.

In Persian they bottle their tears as
of old. This is done in the following
manner: AS the mourners are sitting
around and weeping the master of GER
emonies presents each with piece of
cotton, with which he wipes off his
tears. This cotton is afterward squeez-
ed into O bottle, and the tears are pre-
served as powerful and efficacious
remedy for reviving a dying man after
every other means have failed. 1t is
also employed as charm against evil
influences. This custom is probably
alluded to In Psalm vi, 8: "Put thou
my tears into bottle" The practice
was once universal, as is found by the
tear bottles which are found in almost
every ancient tomb. for the ancients
buried them with their dead as proof

A Mules Sagacity.

A writer In the Youth's Companion
relates the following instance of a
mules sagacity:
While stationed at Fort Webster. in
what is now Arizona, he started down
the canon on a very fine and large
mule. The beast stopped abruptly,
and signified that he would not bulge
a step. Spurs were dug into his tlanks
to no purpose. There he stood as firm
as q rock Hammond pulled him round
and galloped back to the fort. The
next morning it was ascertained that
at point scarcely one hundred yards
in advance OF where tho mule gained
his victory some Apache Indians had
ambushed the road, and but for the
brute's keen nose aud ears, and firm
ness in resisting an obstinate man,
short work would have been made of
both.
While journeying across the plains
thirty or more years ago there were
hundreds of instances equally remark
able. The writer stood guard every
second night over the stock that was
out to Craze. and depended entirely for
warning of danger from two large
American mules. They would scent
an Indian or grizzly much longer
distance than dog and at once stop
eating and point unerringly with their
long ears to the direction of the dam
