frost is yet in the air, there is the best
grounds for saying that tho summer is

Tho Shnh,r Eincst Charger.

The Pc-sians Of today, rs those of old,
are n ''horscy' race, born riders. fond OF

tests we've over, tho shah caused his finest
charger, u Turconan OF magnificent pro-
portions, to be brought in front OF the
huge pavilion tent wherein the whole
Europe0n md American diplomatic corps
was assembled. What Il fine fellow the
animal was, and how he was admired
and caressed by the ladicsl But what
WAS especially noticeable about him was
the sllendor OF his hccoutrements. a
saddle blanket Of the finest cashmere,
every square inch of which was worth
several gold pieces; his broad bridlo
thickly incrusted with diamonds and
cmeralds and rubics, each tho size OF y
hazclnut; the bit Of pure gold, and the
saddle straps and other pieces made Of
velvet and embossed with artistic humps
OF gold and precious stones. The whole

Wedding In q Crock Church.

The pretticSt wedding procession i have

rejoicing march, though without music.
Fancy q narrow street of high stone
houses with projecting balconies, latticcd
with Stats SO close together that persons
within can see without being seen. A
long line Of sedan chairs, cushioned and
curtained with satin, each borne by two
men holding poles, and keeping step to-
gether like trained horses; their uniform
braided jackets, baggy trousers and scar

were adam with color and bloom.

friends. The bridegroom, also crowned
with a wreath, joins her, and they stand
with clasped hands at the altar willie the
long ritual il read by the priest. Three
times the wrcaths are intcrchanged by

ten feet i'll diameter, the fclloes six
