A Persian Workman.
(Erom the December Cen',trp


From the illustrated paper by G. S.
Benjamin, our late minister to Persia,
in the city of Teheran, we quote the
following: "What implements they
used in ancient times we know not; but
to day the Persian artisan has neither
rule, compass, nor spirit level. He is
commonly ignorant of the fact that the
diameter is the third uf the circumfer-
ence; his gimblets and augurs are prods
turned by bow string; he has no hatch
ct, but only an adze, and no carpenters
bench. If lie Gesiles to plane board,
he puts it on the ground; and if he
would saw block Of wood, lie squats
ON the ground himself and holds it be-
tween his toes, drawing the saw towards
himself. Wood is scarce, and with
such tools is hard to work. If pillars
are to be constructed, the trunks Of pop
lars are raised and simply stripped of
their branches and bark. They may be
crooked, but that matters not; the mas
ter workman tells his subordinate to
shape the timber into an elegant pillar
with Catch. Depending only on his eye
and the skill of his hand, this simple ar
tisan applies the plaster round the trunk
in the form of fluted pillar, and crowns
it with graceful capital and cornice,
showing lively inventive fancy. If
judged by the strict application of the
rule and compass, these decorations may
sometimes deviate Slightly from a
straight line. but of the artistic beauty
of the conception there can be no ques-
tion. Walls and ceilings are tastefully
decorated in like manner.
''Lightness combined with
strength is often gained in Persia by
building a wall OF sun-dried bricks, inge-
niously arranged in hollow cubes az in a
block house. They are cemented to-
gether by layer of cargal, or mortar
mixed with straw, over which, in turn,
follows coat of white plaster. Where
great strength is required the angles are
fortified by a layer of burnt bricks.
Such a wall will staEd for ages. 1t is
interesting to watch the builders at
work. They wear long tunics, which
are tucked into their girdles when
working. displaying length and mus
cular development of limb have never
seen equaled elsewhere. The one above
sings'out in musical tone, Brother, in
the name of God, toss me brick The
one below, as he throws the brick. sings
in reply, % my brother, Tor, o son of
my uncle), i'll the name OF God, behold
the brick!'''

LUNATICs AS MUSICIANS.
How NOrristOwn Asylum Patients are
Amused and Paciied.
From the Nelo Y0rh Tunes.

IRON tRe " ear OTH LtO2eS.
PHILADELPHIA, June "a brass band
composed of insane inmates of the Norris
town Asylum paraded to-day about the
grounds, wearing uniforms for the first
time. They were very proud of their re-
gala, and when they passed in review of
the trustees and Physicians in Chief
Chase the lunatic who played the big
brass horn blew harder, and the
fat cynical player, who i'm
AGNES he owns the State of Pennsylva-
MIA, clapped the cymbals together
with all his might, while the man who
beat the bass drum thumped away as if
ne were trying to knock the drum head in.
The uniforms are similar to those worn by
United States troops. When the band
stopped playing for want of breath the
iunatics all looked at their uniforms and
smiled proudly. In front of the main
building, where the review took place.
there is circular carriage drive about
30 yards in circumference. The
musicians tramped around this drive
for three-quarters of an hour playing,
"a Boys Best Friend is His MOther''
aud go to Sleep, My Baby" They play
ed continuously. switching off from one
tune to the other. When DIR. Chase
showed his approval the musicians look
ed prOuder tnan ever, ana when they
finally went away to the rear of the
building they marched with a pompous
step, still playing.
The music was above the average Of
that of ordinary country bands, and the
players went at 1t with great zest. 1t was
only when their instruments were taken
from them that they became unhappy and
irritable. DIR. Chase said that the treat
ment was very beneficial, and that two of
the band who had been violent patients
had been restored TO a pacific state OF
mind through the influence of the music
they played.
The baud, which numbers u crazy
men, was organized last September.
They practice two hours each day, and If
they were allowed they would blow their
horns and beat their drums all day and
take them 10 bed with them at night. On
the Fourth Of July the band will head a
parade through the streets Of NOrristOwn
il charge OF five keepers from the asylum.
1t is the only brass band composed of lu-
natics in Pennsylvania, and, DR.. Chase
says, the only organized band Of crazy
musicians in the country.
