TINE NATIONAL PARK.
who Were the Dsscoverrrs OF Wonder
1amd:


A Subscriber" asks us "tO state
when the National Park, or Wonder
land, was discovered.
In answer we would say that the
discovery in recent times is due, first
to visit by Charles W. Cook and
David T.. Folsom i'm 1863. On the
strength of what they reported, IA large
party went from Helena the following
year. Surveyor General Washburn be
ing in charge and Lieut.. Doane com.
manding an escort OF troops accom-.
panying. In this party were Messrs.
Hauser, Laneford, Gillette, Hedges,
Trumbull, Stickney, Smith and Evarts,
the latter being the one who was lost
and came near perishing. The party
left Helena about the middle of August
and were out till October. They fol-
lowed up the Yellowstone river to the
Lake, visiting the Falls and Sulphur
Mountain by the way, but missing the
Mammoth Springs, though within "A
mile OF them. They went around the
Lake, spending two weeks in the UNI
dertaking and experiencing one severe
snow storm.
In getting from the Lake to the
headwaters OF the Madison they dis
covered the great Upper Geyser Basin,
which was higher up the Fire Hole
river than the point reached by Messrs.
Cook and Folsom.
Several accounts of the expedition
were written by members of the party
and published in the Herald, and the
remarkable loss and finding of Evarts
created additional interest
1t was on the way home from this
expedition that Mr.. Hedges first sug-
gested the propriety of making a
national park OF it. The official re-
port OF Gen. Washburn and Lieut..
Doane, together with the public M
terest created by the story of Evarts
and other magazine articles, led to a
government expedition under Prof.
Hayden in 1871. 1t was March LIST
1872 that the bill creating the
National Park was approved. AS
originally created it was IS miles
north and south and 55 miles east
and west, containing 4,575 square
miles, about three times the size Oi
Rhode Island. The altitude of the
whole is over 5000 feet, and that of
the Lake 7.7SS feet. Every yearhas
witnessed the discovery of some new
wonders, but such is n brief general
account OF the discovery.

An English Marriage law.

The English are noted for the obstinacy
with which they cling TO old laws and
customs and for the caution with which,
often, they hesitate to alter laws and GUS
toms which have become wholly unsuited
to the age. A curious illustration of this
Is seen In the fact that the law which for
bids man to marry his deceased wife's
sister still remains In force.
This law, which declares that such o
marriage IL null and void, and that the
children Of such q marriage are not to be
recognized as legitimate BY the law, was
passed ffty-three years ago. For more
than forty years there has been On almost
constant agitation to get rid of It; but 1t
has not succeeded because the house Of
lords has steadily resisted the change.
Again and again the house of commons,
by varying majorities, has passed bill
repeating the law. When sent to the
lords, these bills have been opposed by
the bishops, and mainly by their infiu-
ence, have been as often rejected. Once
the bill was passed to q second reading by
the lords. but on the next stage Of con-
sideration It was thrown out.
Recently the house of commons once
more voted IN favor Of the change. The
majority In favor of the bill was nearly
100, md was made up Of members Of every
party. But no one expects that the house
OF lords VIII pass the bill. Youths Com

Opium Cultivation in Persia.

Opium occupies the first place In the
foreign trade Of Persia. Papaver somni-
forum, or white poppy, Of which opium Is
the inspissated juice, is grown principally
in and about Ispahan, Yezd and Shiraz,
that of Ispahan being superior both In
quality and quantity. The preparation OF
the land begins about Sept. 3, and consists
in blowing, narrowing, fertilizing abund-
antly with ashes and detritus, and laying
off into squares to facilitate irrigation.
After sowing, the fields are irrigated three
times, at intervals of fifteen days. After
that there is only one more irrigation,
about the middle of the winter. In the
spring irrigation takes place on March 20,
after which the land Is repeatedly har-
rowed and hoed In order to extirpate all
parasitic weeds. The plants are thinned
and then watered every ten days until
Towering begins, when all work must
cease.
When the heads have formed and have
fully ripened @ last flooding is given.
Then six slight incisions are made at
about the junction of the stem with the
head. This should be done at noon. The
Juice that exudes is collected the next
morning and the morning following ct
daybreak. When these first incisions
have ceased discharging, others are made
lower down, and the operation may be
thus thrice repeated, the opium obtained
after each successive incision being pro-
portionately inferior In quality. Next,
the plants themselves are cut down and
the heads sold, the natives using the seed
on bread as substitute for butter. The
end of May Is the season for harvesting.

Modern Costume. I'm Greece.

The rich old costumes are coming, or
have come, to be regarded as ridiculous by
the islanders, and are only put on to please
strangers or by way of joke. In another
generation or two the curious traveller viii
be unable to find them. Those that have
gold and lace upon them will be bought
up by Jew dealers, who have been for
years securing the Egean like the corsairs
of old The rest will be torn up or thrown
away. 1t is just the same thing in Pelo-
ponnesus The men who are the great
handles all through Greece still don their
Albanian costumes in Sparta and Magalo-
polls, If they have not seen the world.
But among the rich scarlet AMI white Of
this splendid dress you see the really
fashionable man, the member of parliament
or local magistrate, in black dress coat
and chimney pot hat, perhaps with q
gray plaid wrapped about his shoulders.
And this hideously dressed person is
looked up to as the glass of fashion by the
people around him, whose national dress
gives them that dignity of mien and Of
manners which always accompanies rich
costume.
So it is with the women. About Mount
Parnassus and its neighboring Alps you
will still find the women dressed on holt
days in colors and coins quaint and beauti-
full to behold. In Peloponnesus gaudy
arsenic green, magenta and puppies of the
most nauseous hue are worn in i'll made
dresses copied from the Bavarian court
taste of twenty years ago. To see such
people on Greek island in the midst of
Mediterranean blue dancing a national
dance with it's curious spiral form is like
seeing beautiful engraving daubed over
with water colors by an experimenting
child.--Good Words.
