ANTIQUITIES TO ORDER.
Where Bogus Art Works are
Turned Out.
Imitation Aztec Relics, Homemade and
Artistic Shams from Persia.

The American craze for bric-a-brac
and curios had been a godsend to the
craftsmen all over the world. They
make pretty good Japanese articles in
New York, and Queen Anne furniture
and decorative brasses, (which former
ly belonged to noble English family"
are turned out in great quantities by
the dealers of the metropolis. Bogus
art work is cheap in Paris. Home
made mummies to suit any taste or
style are among the industrial products
of modern Egypt, and even the poor
misguided Indians of Central and
South America are making first-class
Aztec and Inca relics. A Boston firm
has a specially fine line of old arm
chairs which came over in the May
flower, and another New England con-
cern has turned out enough of Miles
Standish's muskets to equip an English
expedition to rescue Gordon. Accord
ing to the report Of the English consul
general at Teheran, the capital of Per-
sia, that ancient kingdom is putting its
western neighbors to shame in the
way of relic making. 1t behooves the
wealthy American who wishes to dec
crate his modern house with a bit of
choice ancient armor to be careful lest
he be bamboozled into buying some
thing that has been turned out by an
Ispahan metal worker within the year.
In the days when Shah Abbas led the
Persian hosts, the soldiers armor often
displayed work of extraordinary beauty
costliness and skill. This armor has
been bought up almost entirely for the
great European museums, and only a
little remains in the parlers of the old
noble families. The limitations Of
modern workmen are no mean ones.
They are inlaid sometimes with gold,
silver, and sometimes with gems, and
are superb specimens of metal work,
but they are not worth the fabulous
prices asked for them. They are so
prepared that they look almost exactly
like the genuine armor four or five
hundred years old, and only an expert
can detect the fraud. The famous
Khorossan swords, whose wavy steel
equalled in temper the swords of Dr.
mascus, are now initiated by means Of
chemicals. They look just as they did
two centuries ago, but they are not as
good in quality. In Hamadan an
enormous number of ancient" Persian
coin are made and sold to American
and English dealers. Hamadan is the
ancient Ecbatana and is richer in relics
of metal than any city in the east, and
of late years it has been well dug over
in search Of ornaments and coins.
Coins of Alexander the Great and
Sassonidp are in common currency
there. Glazed ceramic ware is made
at Ispahan, but it is not of good quail
ty. Some tiles recently found there
are 1000 years old. The way to test
the ware is to cut it with knife point.
If it is hard it is old and genuine; if
soft it is a sham.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

After a Little While.

There ,s a strange, sweet solsce in the though
That all the woes we suffer here below
May, as a dark and hideous garment wrought
For us to wear, whether we will or no.
Be cast aside, with relieving SMILE
After little while.
No mortal roaming but hath certain end'
Though far unto the ocean spaces gray
We sail and sail without chart for friend,
Above the sky line, faint and faraway,
There looms at Inst the one enchanted isle,
After little while.
Oh, when our cares come'thronging thick ana
With more of anguish than the heart can
bear,
Though friends desert, and, as the needless
blast,
Even love pass BY us with stony stare
Let us withdraw into some ruined pile,
Or lonely forest aisle
And contemplate the never-ceasinS change
Whereby tho processe, Of God are wrought
And from our petty lives our soul estranSe,
Till bathed in currents OF exalted thought,
We feel the rest that must our cares beSuile,
After little while!
Golden Hours.

PRICE THREE CENTS.

This is the only noticeable departure
from the habits of their American
cousins. The feet should be well shod
Soap will never be found at the hotels,
and the better kinds are expensive in
Mexico. As for the customs officials
courteous and just treatment is the
rule. A visitor proposing to make I
stay of much length beyond the Rio
Grande, l should say. would do we.! to
take from home whatever clothing OF
other paraphernalla seems likely to b'
needed. For brief tour, light march
ing order is, of course, sensible.

The idea is a good one, to turn the
