one of the disgraces of this country. And

ravori.c Eeverages In Persia.

The great beverage in Persia is sher-
bet. which is plentifully supplied, and Of
which there are many varieties-from
the bowl Of water with squeeze OF
lemon TO the clear, concentrated juice Of
any sort Of fruit to which water is added
to dilute it. The preparation OF sherbet,
which il done with the greatest care, Is
n very important point IN so thirsty a
country as Persia, and ono 70 which
much time is devoted. 1t may he either
expressed from the juice Of fruit freshly
gathered OF from the preserved extract
of pOmcgranates, cherries or lemons
mixed with sugar and submitted to a
certain degree Of heat to preserve it for
winter consumption.
Another sherbet much drank is called
guzang ebben It is made from the
honey Of the tamarisk tree. This honey
is not the work Of tho bee. but is made
by a small insect living under the leaves
Of the shrub During the months of
August and September the insect Is col
lected and the honey is preserved.
When used for sherbet it is mixed with
vinegar. and, although not SO delicious
as that made from fruit, it makes an ca
cellent beverage.
Only among the rich and fashionable
arc glasses used. In all other cases sher-
bet is served in china bowls and drank
from deep wooden spoons carved in psar-
wood. Youths Companion.
