A Formal Gall in Persia.

From the illustrated. papsuin. the
December Century by 8. G. Denja-
min, who has just returned from the
court of Persia, where. he was u. S.
minister, we quote the following :
"The manners of the courtly occu-
pant of this Teheran mansion are
guided by an etiquette that is indeed
law Of the Modes and Persians,
which changeth not. The visitor
sends notice an hour or two previous
to calling. If the visit is one OF i'm.
poriance, notice is sent the previous
Gay. You will 60 in a fashion suit
ed to your social position and The
rank of the host. Whether on
horseback or in a carriage, you will
be accompanied by a number Of
mounted attendants. AS you ap..
preach the house, servants mounted
or on foot, come forth to meet you,
and one returns with speed to an.
nounce your coming A dozen at
tendants escort you to the reception
room. According to yetnr relative
rank, the host meets you at
the foot of the staircase, at tie
door, Or at the upper part of the
room. The question of seats is one
also requiring the utmost ciraum-
spe ctisn in observing the various
shades of rank. If your rank is equal.
to that of the host, you are invited
to occupy sofa alone, at the upper
corner, while the host sits on a chair
ON che floor, at pour right The left
is more honorable than the
right in Persia. II of equal rank,
he occupies the sofa with you; but ii
you are inferior. then the positions
are reversed. The upper corner of
the room is in any case the most
honorable position. II a number are
present of various ranks each one
knows his place at glance. The
passing of refreshments is also a
matter Of undertaking strictness, the
number and quality depending upon
the time of day and the character Of
the guest, The kalian. or water
pipe, offers fine opportunity for ,
display Of Persian manners. Accord
ing to precept and custom, Mo-
cannot smoke the same
pipe with Christian, and. except on
rare occasions, when the host is aI
man ofprogressive views, a Sc parate
pipe In furnished for . European
visitor. But among the Persians is
the custom for the highest in rank
to receive the pipe frst, Offering it
to each In turn before smoking
himeelf. For an inferior to accept
the offer is an incredible ofense
against good manners. But each in
turn after this germany takes a few
whifts at the pipe. all taking care to

I set out through the problems
of life on a search for God, and did
not find God; found only problems
that made me doubt of God. Then
I said in words of old, "Verily, thou
art a God that hldest myself ;"Why
art thou so far from helping me?"
And while I yet spake, voice made
answer, "Why 'didst thou not meet
me at the door? Thou hast been in
search of me Through the labyrinths
of the world why didst thou not
come first to- me to lead thee through

Attention, Farmer.I

In these days Of extremely low prices for!
nearly all farm products, 1t is necessary that
we farmers should produce and market our
grain as cheaply as possible. We have learned
that we must economize in the expense Of pro.
duction, are learning how to raise more bush.
4 eis to the acre, and now there remains to find
way to lessen the cost Of getting our grain to
market.
Although we farmers are not credited with
being very quick-witted (the head OF one of
our elevator companies being reported as say
ing that not one farmer In ten knows enough
to ship car load of grain), good many Of us
have learned that We can safely count on get
ting to cents per bushel more than the
local market price by shipping our own grain.
But as any one knows, who has inquired into
the matter, 1t Is next to impossible for farmers
to obtain cars In the fall, the very time they
need them most.
So, representative farmers of Colgate and vi
cinity met last week and organized the Colgate
Warehouse association for the absolutely safe
business Of handling their own grain, thus se-
curing to themselves part Of the profit of the
middle men. A warehouse will be built in the
coming spring or early summer, in ample time
for handling the crop OF next fall. 1t will be
large enough to furnish temporary storage
"when cars are scarce" (fayorite chestnut of
railroad officials) and yet be built at mode
rate cost. There are enough who are DETER
mined to have honest weights, fair grades and
fair dockage, and all the price there is, to make
this organization an assured success. II you
are like minded and would be accommodated
by warehouse at Colgate, come and join the
enterprise. At least, come to the Colgate
school house Saturday, Nov. 2Oth, hear the
plan and Judge for yourselves.
