STYLISH UNDERWEAR.
Luxurious Garments OF JERSEY Ribbed Sill,

Luxurious Garments OF jersey Ribbed silk
or Wool.
Among the luxurious garments Of the
winter are ribbed under-vests Of silk or
wool, or a mixture Of both, made 10 tit

sufficiently elastic for comfort; these
do away with the wrinkles of the
clumsy garments hitherto worn, cover

vests entirely Of silk for those who do
not like wool next the flesh. and cash.
mere garments for those who prefer to
have them all wool; while for those who
like very substantial underwear there
are meIino ribbed vests in which is a
little cotton to prevent shrinkage. Silk
and wool mixed vests are very soft and
clinging, and there are others Of zephyr
wool made by hand in large wide ribs
that stretch out to an almost smoo 9th
surface when worn. Drawers to cor
respond may be had in most of these
fabrics, and the merino ribbed fabrics
are alsO,to be had in the combination
suits that consist Of a single garment
that covers the wearer from neck to
ankles. 1t is best to buy ribbed gar
ments Of larger sizes than are needed
for those of plain fabrics. The fancy at
present is for colored underwear in
pale shades Of pink, blue or Hcsh-color,
or in fine stripes OF these colors with
white or some contrasting color. Most
Of these garments have a lace-like
finish around the neck and sleeves, in
which narrow ribbon is inserted to
draw them together. Bright scarlet.
ribbed garments are shown both in silk

however, we say II properly used. The
fodder that Is cut, stacked and left
standing in the fields is not as soluble
as that cured and stacked at the proper

10 Is the mistakes made in farming

The Private Life Of Persia's Autocratlc

The Private Life OF Persia's Autocratic
Ruler.
The Shah leads a very simple life.
lie is an early riser, and generally an
hour or two after sunrise emerges from
the inner apartments, has walk in
the garden and then receives some min
istcrs in audience. He is occupied
with affairs of state till about noon.
He then partakes Of his midday meal,
eating frugally and generally of one
dish only. He takes no wine with his
meals, although he has the permission
Of his medical advisers to drink it,
After the midday meal he retires for
an hour or two to the inner apartments.
Very frequently, too, he has his meal
in the women's apartments. He comes
out again for three or four hours in the
afternoon and evening. Very often he
goes out shooting and then leaves early
in the morning and returns in the even
ing, having thoroughly tired all his
men and animals. In his leisure hours
he likes to read the favoritc Persian
poets and historical works and books
on science and aft; he also occasionally
writes poetry, which his own people
tell him is superior to that of Haiiz.
The unbiased critic can only say that
the Shah's poetry is above mediocrity.
In spite of his having been twice in
Europe, where he saw much of the
ways of Kings and Emperors, he has
not, in Persia, set down to meal with
any one else. has not yet attended any
state dinner, and does not, as a rule,
return salute. His vices are few, his
virtues and good qualities many; alto
gether we may say that he is one Of the
most sensible men in his dominions,
and the best ruler Persia has had for
over a century. That he has not done
as much for the country rs it was hoped
he would do is not entirely his own
