What Purpose They Were Originally De-
signed to Subserve.
In speaking of the usefulness OF
church steeples, we would not have it
understood that their only use has been
in connection with the bells. Along
the coast there can be no doubt that
they We're often used as beacons before
the introduction of lighthouses. At
Happisburgh, in Norfolk, a lofty steeple
-alas' too near the ever-grasping
waves-has had its steps well-nigh
worn away by the continual traffic to
its summit. We all know, too. how
''broad and fierce the star came forth
on Ely stately fame" when the coun-
try became alarmed at the approach or
the Spanish Armada. Nowadays our
steeples are made to serve more utillta-
rian purposes in carrying vanes, wealth
crooks and fiagstaffs. Although very
rarely indeed met with in the churches
themselves, ancient fire-places are by
no means uncommon in steeples They
are usually on the first floor, and have
fiues going to the top in the thickness
of the wall. 1t has never been satis-
factorily proved for whose use they
could have been intended. Some have
supposed that such towers as have them
must at some time or other have been
watch-towers: but in remote inland
districts it seems more reasonable TO
suppose that recluses dwelt in such
places
With bare walls and narrow loop
holes, thew must have been at all times
wretched habitations; but picture, II
Won can, such an abode on WINDY
night. The gloomy surroundings, the
howl of the Blast, the perpetual whis-
tling in the turret-staircase, the creak-
inc of the tree-tops, a sense of loneli-
ness in all this uproar. Can any sifna-
ton be more conducive to madness!
But nowadays we mount our steepies
only to repair the bell-gear or 70 noist

a PERSIAN PRINCE.
Character and DAILY Life of the Favorite

Character and Daily Life of the Favorite
Son of the Shah.
The Zil-es-Sultan is the eldest son of
the Kings first love. His Majesty first
saw the Princes mother. a lovely vii
lage girl, washing clothes at the side OF
a stream. Re III as it may, she was
of the bas peuple; and the Khan Di
(the maternal uncle of his Royal High
ness and his Master of Horse, or Lord
of the Manger). recalls, by his rude
manners and boorish speech. the
lowness of the Princes extract on on
the mothers side. But for his birth.
the Zil-es-Sultan would ere this have
been acknowledged as the Shah sue
ces-or. But to be of TO, al blood on
both sides of the house has long been a
necessary qualification in the her to the
Persian throne. Still, the reigning
monarch generally contriyes to leave
his kingdom to his favorite son if ca
pa bic OF ruling. That the eldest son
of the Shah by a royal princess is a
weak-minded nonentity is known to all
the subjects of the king of Kings"
and the Shah will probably take the
initiative in declaring the Zil-es-Sultan
his successor. The young man himself
openly says that he means to succeed
his father. and the Shah does not re-
prove him for saying so.
The room is purposely darkened.
There SITS the Prince, supported by
cushions on a mattress. He is evident
" out of sorts; his hak mbashi is
feeling his pulse. The Governor of

attendant. is kneadng one knee, the
Governor of Bonat is gently rubbing
the other. Two attendants are softly
pommelling the princely feet while
the chef barber, an important person

shampooing the back of his neck.
NJ RIA Reza, the Princes confidential
valet, man who has been Governor
OF Fussa under His ROYAL Highness, is
reading poetry.
Evidently the Prince is in pain.
Rub, rub he cries. we sons of IN

sigh of relief. that is good-that is
very good The chief barber, whose
clever shampooing has earned this
praise, smiles with pleasure Mira

shouted and the confidential valet
stops his monotonous poetry. Let
our chief barber have our fur-lined
cloak, the red one The delighted
barber, who is to receive gift worth
thirty pounds, stops to thank the
Prince. Rub, rascal, rub:'' is the re-
ply.
May be your sacrifice, it is my pc
tition. the petition of your slave, that

whispers one of the roval attendants,
entering the room bowling TO the
ground, his hands placed upon his
knees. s.Bismillah, let him come is
the reply. The Prince rises. He is an
athletic young man of considerable
muscular power, inclined to breadth
rather than height, of middle stature.
