to object mildly to the habit their hus-
bands have of leaving them on Sundays
at home TO nurse the babies while they
Z 30 out for a ride or to hunt. One of these
ladies', whose young husband took his
gun and dogs yesterday to 20 out and
shoot. got herself up with lot of iml-
tation mustard plasters, medicine phials,
etc., and laid upon the bed with lot of
lady friends around her, and when her
husband returned his sorrow and alarm
were deep, and he felt exceedingly con-
trite at having so cruelty neglected his
darling wife. The assembled ladies kept
their laughter in bounds as long as pos
sible, but 1t finally burst forth simulta-
neonsly, much TO the young husbands
discontinue.

At one part of our route, we got A
glimpse Of the great salt desert-th3
Dasht-i-Kayir. Let'any one look at The
map of Persia, and it will be found that
there is great space in its center,
which is desert. We have been travel
ing from Teheran, close to its northern
border, at times almost touching it, and
one morning we got sight of large
white eXpanSe. This was the salt crust
from which the desert is named. If
there is much Of it as white as the por-
ton we saw, those who have to cross it
are not to be envied. Near to il a striking
mirage was produced. Whether the salt
or the whiteness had any influence my
scientific requirements are unable to de
termine. There were a few ordinary
looking hills; we passed close to them
the day after. These assumed the most
fantastic shapes. First their forms
raised in the air till they became towers
or Steeples; then horizontal elongation
took place--this was at the top-anl the
appearance Of railway yiaduct was the
result, such as the Britannia bridge.
Every few minutes change occurred
the horizontal line broke down in
parts, and one hill became an ironclad
ram, the ram being beautifully defined
and bowsprit above The ship had,
also, a turret, and while gazing at it a
funnel rose up, telescope-like, as men
of-wars' tunnels are, and great hole
opened through the hull, as if the enc
my's shot had done its work; a few
minutes more and the hills resumed
their ordinary shapes; the influence then
moved to the right, and "a more distant
range began to change; in this case a
number of small peaks rose up, with
larger ones among them, Some bocAaC
towers while others became columns,
and we easily could have faneied that it
was the ruins Of temples and other in

Nearly all who dwell within the gates

amounts to downright hatred. The

lawless people who have built up in this
big metropolis several slums which eX-
ceed in responsiveness, through their
crowding of humanity and their revela-
tons OF human deprarity, any other
poor quarters in the land. Nevertheless
the disgust Of the ely folks for these
newcomers is not sweeping and unrea-
sonalle. 1t docs not extend to every

A CAPITOL ROMANCE.

There appears to be an endless amount

of them for that matter 1t was only
the other day that heard OF an Incl
dent that occurred during the war that
would certainly give q romance writer at
least a'good suggestion. The capitol is
the growth OF years-aimOst a century
Of work upon dilerent plans and undcr
the direction Of many minds. The re-
suit is that there is su h perfect
labyrinth Of corridors and out-of the

be about the capitol for years without

This much Of an explanation is neoes-
sary in order to appreciate the remark
able story told by John Chaun ey who
has been in the constant employment Of
the house for the last tWenty-s9yen
years. In ransacking one Of the upper
hooks Of the house side of this building
Chauncey came upon an out-of-the way
corner beyond one Of the most crooked
turns in the rately.visted regions Of tee
reserve records OF the house documen
rooms. Chalncay, Wlo knows mOra
about the building than any other man
in ii, in his wandering about that morn
ing came into corner which he had not
visited since the war.
As he entered this long-forg rotten
nook he was surprised 10y the sight of a
military uniform stretched out upon the
floor. A gun and The accoutrements Of
a private soldier Of the army of the
j United States were i'll one corner. The
uniform was still in very fair condition
although badly moth-earen. 1t lay upon
the floor as if it had been hastily stripped
Oil by its owner But how had it com
/ there, John Chauncey could not or e
4 few moments tell, but soon he remem.
bercd that during the war the capt0
building was used as a barracks for sol
diers. Tho house itself was used as g
hopital \ soldier who belonged to {

employed for sentry duty in the uppel
/ part of the hall.
One night he wandered off to thil
out-of-the-way corner, where he ex-
/ perienced a sudden relapse. His o'C
wound broke out and he died in TIN
corner alone. His body was not re
covered for several days. He wa
charged up as a deserter. When hi,
body was finally discovered his uniform
was taken Off ahd the remains carried
out. From the day that the body wa.
carried away until Chauneey walkeC
into this corner twenty years after
wards, no one had visited the plac,
where the poor soldier died. If tn
hall had not been oyercro yded 50 thu
the odor OF the decayng body had no
penetrated to one OF the upper store
rooms into which in alids had beel
carried, this discovery might have beeI
delayed for years. John ChaHncey mign
have found a ginning skeleton in ful
uniform stretched out in this dust
corner What a story that would hav
made. The accoutrements o. thi
soldier are in the journal clerks oHc
