TEHERAN,
Some Interesting Information Concerning
h Persian Capital.

Some Interesting Information Concerning
the Persian Capital.
Teheran, the capital of Persia, is a
place of antiquity. 1t was Aga Ma
hommed Khan, the founder of the pres.
ent dynasty, who first adopted it about
a century ago. A mud wall surrounds
the city, but it would be a mistake to
say that the place is fortified, in the
modern sense of that word. The wall
is distinctly pre-Vauban in its tracing.
AS a police boundary, Or something Of
that sort, it may serve some purpose,
but as a defense to the city, if it were
attacked by a modern army, it would
be useless. The supply of water is
brought into the town by what the
Persians call kanauts. This is the same
as the kareez of Afghanistan. These
are tunnels simply cut through the soil,
in parts at some depth, and by this
means water is found where all is dry
above, and brought for large distances
to irrigate fields. Holes have to be
made at regular distances to bring up
the earth in excavating these kanauts.
and their direction a be traced
across the country from the
mound round the hole. This
mode of irrigation exists all the
way from this place to the, Khyber.
The making of these tunnels is a regu-
lar trade, and there are wise men who
have a reputation for being able to find
underground source from which the
supply of water is obtained. Some
large extents of ground in Persia would
be a desert were it not for these kan
auts. The supply of water brought
into Teheran by them is large, and the
quality is said to be good. The bazaars
are arched over with sun-dried bricks.
which is the usual building material
hereabouts. The object of this is to-
keep out the sun. This makes them
dark, but it is highly picturesque. In
some places they are painted with fig
ures and ornaments, and at one place,
where two lines of bazaars cross, the.
seat of the Kadi was pointed out, with
a cell below for prisoners. Here cases
are tried before the public, and
punishment is inflicted very
Eastern and primitive mode Of
administering justice. AT one part of
the bazaar we noticed nothing but shoe
HIS oooAAS OACAu VIC 1Ouuu uOUu~
ing but hats being made; a little dis.
lance further it was ~tailors, then brass
workers. This grouping OF each trade
has many advantages, and it is not SO
many years since it was common in
some towns at home. KabDb shops, or
eating-houses, and tea-houses are to be.
found scattered about the bazaar. In
some of the tea-houses men were sitting
smoking kalians, while story-tellers
were amusing them. The Constanti-
nople bazaar has long ceased to be,
Oriental. Any m wishing to see. a
place of this kind in a still purely east
ern condition might come to Teheran.
We visited the old residency in the Gen.
ter of the town, where Sir Henry Raw
linson and other early British repre-
sentatives lived. It is 1t present UNI
deergoing a complete repair. The e
legation is on the outskirts, near the
gate of the road leading to Gulahek.
1t is perhaps the best building in Te-
heran.-Ieaeram Cor. London News.

A Funny I~ncident-How O DISTINGUISHED
Gentleman Was Misunderstood.
There is a General of local fame who
went through a very unhappy quarter
of an hour a week or so age. He has
just returned from the East: There he
made the acquaintance of a Young
gentleman who is engaged to be mar
ried to a very charming Oakland girl.
The truth, that always is the Access
sorry OF separation of'lovers, burned in
he young mans breast, and he took
the opportunity, when, the General was
leaving, to load him down with mes
sages of love and q book for his
fancee. The gallant warrior under
took the commission with all willing
ness. and when he had rested from his
trip he started off one. Sunday morn
ing for Oakland with, tile book under
his arm. He sought out the address
given him, for the young girl was n
stranger to him, and, as. he, approached
be saw a lady seated on the steps of an
Oakland villa. He opened the gate
and walked in with an imposing mar
tial air. The lady eyed linn with an
unfavorable look.

hi FIRST PSALM.

How hNest the man whose careful feet
Avoid the way where sinners walk. =.
Who never fingers in the seat
or scorAers while they jeer and mock
But in Gods law is his delight;
1t cheers his holy thoughts by day,
And on the musings OF the night
1t sheds its mild, benignant ray.
And he shall be like mighty trees
Deep rooted by the river side, =,
And famed by every cooling breeze, F;
And watercd by the constant tide.
They stand the monarchs OF the wood,
Unfading Is their leafy crownS
Their stems shoot high above the flood;
Their boughs with heavy fruits bend down,
IBn all the wicked are as dust \
Dispersed upon the angry blast:
They shall not stand among the Just; +.
Their pride and glory shall not lasA !
For 100 regards well pleased the psSh
In which His children safely go;
While sinners fall before His wrath
And hasten to eternal woe.

"TELL ME TRULY"

Dear little daisy, down in the grass,
smiling up at me as l pass,
ii L listen, will you tell
Whether somebody loves me we'll?
Dear little daisy, lend me your art,
! keep a secret close in my heart.
I long to know how it's to be;
Whisper it low, only to me.
will he come? Or does he tarry?
is it to court? Or is 1t to marry?
viii. he take my heart forever?
Or will he forsake and come back never?
Dear little daisy, II you knon
That he's untrue, oh. tell me so.
Alas, alas! 1t can not be;
Whatever you say ! knoU he loves mo.
Your art is false, I'll nee believe -.
That one l love could so deceive:
I'll toss you ava to the wind that blows,
And ask again Of daisy vho knous.
