reason therefore. He assured the house
that he was not using any mere conven-

any wish to evade discussion when he
stated that the government deprecated in

The Food Of the Persian Masses.

The Food Of the Persian Masses.
The food of the Persians is very
varied. As rule, the very poor do
not get meat more than once a week;
while villagers and the numerous
nomadic tribes see it very rarely, ana
only on great occasions, as at marriage
feasts. The ordinary diet of labor
ing man is bread and cheese in winter,
bread and fruit in summer. But even
the laborers manage to obtain an oc-
casional bowl of strong soup; and they
vary their diet with conseryes, dried
fruits, basins of curds, and hard boiled
eggs, The actual weight of bread that
a muleteer or laborer can consume, and
does consume, daily. is very great, sew
en- pounds not being an extraordinary
allowance In the South of Persia
dates are the staple food; they are
very cheap aud satisfying. During
the summer. lettuces, grapes, aprieots,
onions, and cucumbers form the dain-
ties of the villager, and these, with
bread, cheese, and curds are their only
food. In every large town cookshops
abound. But in Persia, as in the rest
of the East, bread, rice, or dates are
the real food-the meat merely the
sauce or bonnie bOuche. Persians OF
all ages are very fond of confectionery,
and are constantly devouring sweets.
These are generally pure and good, but
there is little variety in color, most OF
them being white, and nearly all are
favored with lemon-juice. The low
er-class Persian will eat several
pounds of grapes, cucumbers, or april
cots for a meal. They eat onions as
we eat apples. POmegranates and
melons are in a great demand as food;
and the melons, which run to lab. IN
weight, are very nutritious. Cueum-
bers are looked on as fruit, and are
eaten in large quantities by rich and
poor. They are not indigestible Sew
en- pounds weight may be often had
for halfpenny. Grapes in infinite
variety and of the most delicious kinds
from the huge long grape, which meas
ures Din, to the tiny sultana, sweet as
honey to the taste. The curds' Oh
mast, is simply made by adding a
a small portion of rennet or else old
curds to warmed milk; in few holr'
it sets into mass, the cream on top
If eaten the first DAY. it is like a junk
ct: if allowed to remain it becomes
sour, and will keep good any time
In this sour state it is preferred, and il
either eaten with honey. sugar, o.
grape sugar. Eggs boiled hard anC
dyed a gay color are much eaten; from
forty to fifty can be had for 81. Thes'
things, then. form the cheap and va
ried diet of the working classes. Beef
too, is eaten by the lower classes; new

How Cocoon is Grown.

United States Consul Bird, in re-
port from La Guayra, Venezuela, thus
describes the cultivation of cocoa in
that country:
Cocoa, or cacao, as it is termed IN
Spanish, from which the chocolate OF
commerce is made, is the fruit OF
tree indigenous to the soil of Venezuela
and within this country is compre-
hended a large part of the choicest
cocoa zone. The tree grows to the
average height of thirteen feet and
from five to eight inches in diameter,
is Of spreading habit and healthy
growth.
"a cocoa plantation is set in quite
the same manner as an apple orchard
except that the young stocks may be
transplanted from the nursery after
two months growth. No prepare
ton of the soil is deemed necessary.
and no manures are applied. The
Young trees are planted about Is feet
eouidistant, which will accommodate
200 trees to the acre. Between the
rows and at like spaces are planted
rows of the BucGre, a tree Of rapid
growth, that serves to shade the soil
as we'll as to shield the young trees
from the torrid sun. Small permanent
trenches must be maintained from
tree to tree throughout the entire
length of tho rows, so that, at least
once in each week, the stream decend-
ing from the mountains may be
turned into these little channels and
bear needful moisture to trees and
soil. At the age Of FIVE years the
plantation begins to bear fruit and an
nually yields two crops, that ripening
in June being termed the crop of San
Juan and that maturing at Christmas
being known as the crop Of La Ma
Uidad. The average age to which the
tree attains under proper care may be
estimated at forty years, during which
period it will give fair to full crops OF
fruit; but of course, 1t must be under
stood that, as in our fruit orchards
a new tree must be set from time tc
time to replace one that may be de-
cayed or blighted. After c'reful in
curry it may be safely stated that the
average crop Of the cocoa plantation al
ten years of age, and under a proper
state of cultivation, will amount t
500 or 600 pounds per acre.

At the wedding dinner the Princess
Philippine found an almond with two
kernels.
"These stands for you and me-" she
said t. her husband; "you shall have
one kernel and will have the other.
"Thanks, my love-" said the prince
"T,et me have the kernel that repre-
SCENTS yourself and I will wear it, that
YOU may never again be lost away
from me-"
Here is your Philippine" said the
princess. land with it give my sig
net ring, that stands for all my posses
sions. for since threw it away and 1t
was saved for me by spider, against
all whose kind have all my life
waged war, it humiliates me every
time my eyes falls upon it, and l
think I ought to pay some penalty for
my foolishness and for my ill-treat-
ment Of yourself"
"But did not cry philippine my
dearest onel the moment my eye fell
upon you on my return" said the
prince,-"to show you that I never
held anger against you in my heart.
At this all the young people who
found double almonds began to eat
them with some chosen friend, and
since they all had not signet rings to
bestow. it came to be a custom that
the one who should first cry "Philip-
pine" after an absence should receive
a Gift. and the custom continues
among young people in all countries
to this day. -Sprinqtfeld Republican.

when Dny Meets Night.

Out to the west the spent day kisses night,
And with one parting glow Of passion dies
In gold and redi woman's wistiul eyes
Look out across the hills, band Of light
Plays on her parted hair, there softly dwells,
And throws q glory DER her girlish lreami
The sheep slow nestle down beside the
stream,
And cattle wander with their tinkling bells.
Tie clouds, sun-fushed, cling round the days
decline;
The woman's eyes grow TENDER shadows
ereepi
Gold turns to grayi sharp dividing line
Parts earth and heaven. Adown the western
height
The calm cold dark has kissed the day to
sleeps
The wistful eyes look out across the night

Two-thirds Of the clans are got by
"churning." The clam gang wades
ont over the bed and shOYels up mud
and CLANS and everything that comes
along into big wire baskets, which,
when about full, are lifted out of the
water, and a rinsing and shaking
washes out the mud and leaves the
clans. Two men and boy attend to
each basket, one man shoveling in the
mud. the second getting out the CLAIMS,
and the boy "culling" them. Churn-
ing can only be done at about half
tide. when the water is two or three
feet deep. as, by the time the workman
has to put his head under water, when
he bends over at shoveling, he soon
has 10 give up the job. The suction
on the shovels is tremendous, and
they are made exceptionally strong.
When there are good tides, on the full
and change of the moon, the clans
may be raked out after the manner OF
the non-professional digger; a shovel
full of mud is turned up at time, and
the clans it contains are raked out
with a clam-hoe. Consideration Of
either of the above methods is suffici.
ent for a true understanding of the
happiness of the clam at high water
The clam ordinarily lies in the mud
from two to eighteen inches; CLAN
that would bury itself much deeper
than eighteen inches is not to be look
ed upon with favor.-PrOUidenc
