Persian Bread.

"Persian bread" writes a CORE
spondent now in Afghanistan, lis a
very peculiar production; it is made
in large flaps, in some cases about a
yard long-if ever the Persians reach
the advanced state of morning news
papers they might have them printed
on their bread so that they could read
the news while they eat and swallow
everything literally. On seeing these
large flaps | have often thought that
they must resemble the blacksmith's
leather apron which was the old
standard OF Persia; if the bread is not
made after that model they have
managed to produce an article very
like it, not Onlyin size, but in color and
tOughness at the same time. We have
had nOwnearly two months experience
of this material, and it was delight
on coming here to get for our breakfast
the first morning bread that was made
on a somewhat later model than an
old leather apron. The chances Of
finding a change in this detail of our
daily life on reaching the Indian camp
had often been discussed on the way,
particularly at breakfast when we
were hard at work trying to masticate
pieces of the leather kind. One OF our
party said he knew Mai. Rind, the
commissariat officer ofthe other camp,
and that he was not man likely to
come away without the means of bak-
ing good bread but wehad been so long
used to that Persian kind that these as
surances did not inspire much hope.
There had been doubts, but these were
dispelled at our first breakfast. But
ter actually appeared on the table
with the bread. [ fear that for the
moment we either forgot, or thought
lightly OF, the splendid pillaws in the
breakfast prepared for us by thegover-
nor of Khorasan's cook at Meshed; or
the many delicacies Ali Mardan Khan
treated us with at Sarrakhs. One
man tried to talk while munching a
mouthful of bread and butter-the
amount in his mouth slightly interfered
with his articulation-but we made
out that he meant to say it was al
most as good as arriving at Dover; of
course he meant to add that it was
after having been a long time in the
east away from England, but at that
moment he had not moment to
spare, and left the sentence in it's in
complete form as here recorded"

A Passion for Flags.

TCor San Francisco Chronicle
A visit to Hollow would be incom-
plete without a trip to King-choo-foo,
the capital and residence of the tao
tai. The distance is only three miles,
and though the road leads over a roll
ing country, with a hard, red soil
which is smooth and easy to the pc
destrian, the excursion is usually
made in chairs, with two coolies as
bearers. For a longer trip four bear
ers are taken. Passing through the
old city and along dykes separating
the rice-felds, the eXcursionist at once
finds himself on a broad road that
winds among thousands of red burial
mounds, stretching on either hand to
a great distance, and merging in a
green and gently undulating landscape,
the higher elevations of which are
crowned by intrenched camps, each
brilliant with scores of gay y-colored
flags. The military desire for flags in
China has developed into passion
Every fortress, intrenched position,
camp, city gate or officers headquar
tiers has from one to a hundred, some
of them of one bright solid color, but
most are arranged in stripes, the col
ors red, white and blue beng preferred.
Were but three stripes used the resem-
blance to the French tri-color would
be almost exact, but as they ordinari-
ly use five or six, the similarity of col
or becomes a mere suggestion. When
blue is not obtainable, black, and
rarely yellow, takes it's place. At the
camp of the Tso-tsung-tang regiment,
on a pleasant knoll just outside of the
walls of King-choo-foo, more than one
hundred large flags were displayed,
ranged with the precision of the rows
in a corn-feld, there being one for
nearly every white canvas tent, in
which the soldiers were comfortably
installed. The material used is Man
chester cotton, bought white and col
ored by the Chinese. AS each is about
the size of common horse blanket,
and several thousands must be re-
CURED for the ten thousand troops
stationed in and about Hollow and
King-choe-foo, the quantity needed is
immense and the merchants who deal
in the goods were prepared according
ly. There is no doubt but that their
number is often unreasonably in
creased by the mandarins command
ing the troops, that they may have
the squeeze or difference in price, since
they purchase at a fair rate and charge
the government double.

Protesting mai


SALT LAKE, May "A mass meeting
this afternoon at the Mormon tabernacle
for adopting a protest to President Cleve-
land and the nation against the present
crusade by the Federal officials of Utah,
drew IN immense audience. John j..
Game, member of congress from Utah,
was chairman of the meeting. His
speech outlined the general history of the
Mormon people from the organization Of
the church to the present time. After
showing up the loyalty Of the Mormon
people all through their history, be re-
ferred to abuses imposed on them by the
Federal officials of Utah, assisted by a
abid crowd of hungry spectators and i'm
pecunious Office seekers, whose object was
to so prejudice public opinion outside of
Utah, that oppressive laws would be
passed and measures taken to Cypress the
Mormon people, so that they might enjoy
the Offices and the spoils. Common
rights, humanity, justice to ourselves and
duty to our children demanded a protest
on the part of the people being made to
the people of the country against the
present cruel and unjust crusade existing
here. The protest was read and received
with wild enthusiasm as the unanimous
sentiments of the people. Subsequent
speakers claimed hat Mormons are being
singled out and legislated against
especially on account of the
honest practice of religious principles,
whereas no Mormon guilty of acts of i'm
morality was interfered with, and the fed
eral Judge in court to-day stated the law
was not directed against such, but to break
up plural marriage relations, hence it is
partial and unjust. They intended to
protest before the American people and
see if they endorsed such unjust action on
the part of federal officials; they declared
no desire to assume a spirit of dictation or
antagonism, bat claimed to be entitled to
rights as free men, and solemnly pro,
tested against the suppression of rights as
such, as is done by Governor Murray, to-
gether with the commissioners appointed
under the Edmunds act, and the present
district judges, all of which were guilty of
unwarranted, Illegal and d~espicable out
RACES on the Mormon community. They
desired an investigation of the condition
of Utah affairs by an honest commission,
appointed by the president, and asked for
treatment entitled to by the constitution
of the country, rightfully as citizens and
for which their forefathers fought. A
delegation was appointed to proceed to
Washington and present the petition to
President Cleveland. Meetings of SINH
lar nature. indorsing the same protest,
were held in all the large towns of Utah
this afternoon.
