THE shah of Persia's first railroad is likely to go down to history as a glaring example of Oriental folly. He started to connect Teheran and the shores of the Caspian by rail, but instead of beginning at the seashore and working along on the track to his capital, he had all the material carried by mules across the desert to Te- heran. The whole cost so far has been half million dollars, of which nearly half was for transportat ion.

Pet Mice I'm a Rustle.

When bustles FIRST came into fashion
certain society lady in Minneapolis, who
is ape to carry things little toward ex-
tremes in the matter of dress, had one
made to order. She insisted that it
should be large one, aud it was. It was
SO gigantic, in fact, that it was relegated
to the attic. But in the course of time it
came to pass that bustles we're worn larger
and larger, and. having need of new
one, the lady bethought herself of the airy
network that she had once discarded.
Down it came from the attic, and it
proved ''just her size." But the hustle
was inhabited. A cunningly construct
ed nest reposed inside and fastgrowing
and nquisitive family of mice poked out
their pink noses to resent the rude
disturbance. The lady, remarkable to
relate, has not the traditional feminine
fear of nice. She bravely wore the
hustle, mice and all. As the days passed
on her strange pets became very tame.
She had a small aperture made in her
dress over the top of her hustle. covered
with convenient plait, and it is her
chief delight to terrorize her friends by
calling forth the mice from their retreat
as she sits entertaining her visitors

A UawRIaLE TRAGEDY.
A Ysung wife Accidentally Hilied by

CHICAGO. June EARLY this morning,
while David Gilbert, aged q, and his
bride of two weeks we're struggling play
fully over the possession OF watch,
Colbert pointed revolver at his wife,
telling her TO stand and deliver. She
struck at him. and, hitting the revolver,
it exploded. sending bullet into her left
breast, causing death in few minutes.
Colbert was frantic with grief. and en-.
deavored to commit suicide with the
same weapon. He was dlsarmed, how
ever, and turned over to the police until
he became quiet. A horrible feature of
the tragedy was discovered by the Cor
oner-that the young woman would have
become a mother in short time. When
this was discovered it was thought she
might have been murdered by her hus-
band. but, when told of it, Colbert ac-
koowled .ed that he was responsible for
her condition.

Fixing Up the Passes.

When the interstate commerce bill went
into effect, by the w2y, it was supposed
that free passes would be everywhere
abolished. The railroad passenger agents
and managers so announced with a -four
ish OF trumpets. But where a railroad
man wills he still finds a way. AS an il
lustration, l may mention the case of a
friend who applied recently for a pass
over a trunk line to a western city,
scarcely expecting to get it. yet being
compelled by his circumstances, and feel
ing that for indirect services long ago
rendered he was entitled to transporta-
ton.
He was told that he could only get a
pass within the lines of the state in which
the main line of the system is incorpo-
rated, or between any two points within
the boundaries of a single state. Cant
you fix me up for all the states in that
way" lie asked, except between the sta
tions when you cross the state lines, and
let 2e pay for that distance to the con-
ductor?" The man of passes smiled good
natpredly as lie said: YES, | might, but
Ill tell you what I'll do. l know you are
entitled to the consideration, and III Just
engage you in my travelling advertising
corps for a couple of days. You shall
have your travelling expenses for your
services. Here are the passes" A wink
and q pleasant nod accompanied the de-
livery of the bits of paper, which had
meanwhile been filed up, and my friend
came away wiser and happy.-New York

Apropos of the season is the pretty
legend which tells of the invention of the
fan.
1.-THE Chinese annalists relate that
long, long and long ago, when the En-
peror Hoang-T reigned, his empress, the
beautiful Su-ling-shi, held a grand court
festival one sultry summer day. The sun
Just blazed down from an unclouded
sky; the air was SO still that even when
the empress and her ladies wandered into
the gardens, not a zephyr moved to re-
fresh them by a cooling breeze. If I
could only make the air movel' sighed
h despairing princess, and she dis
missed her attendants and took a bath
in a secluded fountain. AS she lay re-
Ginning in indolent languor beneath the
shade, a queer little old woman ap-
preached her, and bowling to the ground
placed in her hands the prettiest, tiniest
little fan, all ivory and silk and gold and
lacquer work, and said: % gracious
queen! consort of the Son of Heaven, be-
hold what will make the air cool when
the sun burns the earthp She then re-
tired as mysteriously as she came. The
heart of S~u-ling-shi was filled with de-
light, and the next day she showed the
miniature fan to a cunning artisan and
babe him make her a dozen such toys of
large size, which he accordingly did. So
the Empress Su-ling-shi suffered nc
more from the heat when the west winds
were still, and even since fans have been
priced objects of comfort and elegance. -

shadowing a Suspected Man.

The work of s~hadowing a man is easier
than a person who has never been in the
business would think. You must first
study your man thoroughly, so you
would know him if you only saw one of
his boots, and you must do this without
stt racting his attention, which is not
always a simple thing to do. 4 man who
is to be Swallowed is always a man who
has reason to suspect that he will be
Swallowed, and consequently he will be on
his guard and very watchful. If the man
not an experienced criminal one detect
ought to be able to follow him day
and night as long as there is any necessity,
but if he is an old hand one man cannot
do the work, and can only queer it by
trying it. There should be three or four
shadows, each one ready to take up the
work when for any reason the person who
is following the man deems it prudent
to quit.
You see an old criminal has many de-
vices for finding out if he is being
watched. He will Jump on u car, ride a
block and get off. We'll, if you have not
get another man ready to take up the trail
then, you will flush your bird. Or he will
get into a cab and ride a block or two and
get out. We must be prepared for all
that sort of thing. Usually the shadow
will keep on the other side of the street
from his man, from a half to q whole
block behind him, and pay as much at
ter@sion to keeping himself from being
noticed as to watching the other fellow.
1t is work that not one detective in
twenty can do scientifically, although
some men are very expert. know a man
that saw a criminal make out an improper
voucher, went with him and saw him get
a check for it, then walked with him to
the bank, saw him cash the check, and
arrested him while he was counting the
money.-Detective in Chicago News.

Rind Of Fruit 1rdicestibIe.

That the rind or skin of all fruit is
more or less indigestible, is a fact that
should not be forgotten. We say all
fruit, and the statement must be under
stood to include the pellicle of kernels
and nuts of all kinds. The edible part of
fruit is peculiarly delicate, and liable to
rapid decomposition if exposed to the
atmosphere; it is, therefore, a wise pro-
vision of nature to place a strong and i'm
pervious coating over it, as a protection
against accident, and to prevent insect
enemies from the seed within. The skin
of plums is wonderfully strong compared
with its thickness, and resists the action
of water and many solvents in a remark
able amer If not thoroughly masti-
Gated before taken into the stomach tho
skin is rarely, if ever, dissolved by the
gastric juice. In some cases pieces of it
adhere to the coats of the stomach as wet
paper clings to bodies, causing more OF
less disturbance or inconvenience.
Raisins and dried currants are particu-
larly troublesome in this way, and, if not
chopped up before cooking, should be
thoroughly chewed before swallowing.
If a dried currant passes into the stom-
ach whole it is never digested at all. In
the feeding of domestic animals this fact
should be kept in mind. If grain and
leguminous seeds are not crushed or
ground, much of the food is often swal-
lowed whole and the husk or pellicle
resists the solvents of the stomach, caus-
ing a considerable loss of nutriment.
Birds, being destitute of teeth, are pro-
vided with a special apparatus for grind
ing their seed, namely, the gizzard. The
indigestibility of certain nuts is partially
due to the brown skins. Blanched al
monds, on this account, are more digest
ible than those which have not been SO
rreated.-Popular Science News.

Seals for the arnseuns.

Capt. Thorold, of San Francisco,
shipped eleven seals captured at the Far
allones to various museums east. They
will make the trip in tanks of sea water.
Fourteen sea lions in all were captured
by the sailors under the captain, but two
escaped at the wharf by diving off the
schooner when released, and another
was killed in a fight with a fellow seal in
the hold. The animals were captured
by sailors, who creep up on them when
asleep, throw a sack over their head and
tie their flippers. Karl Hansen, one of
the men, attempted to capture an aged,
gray bearded brute, and failed to get the
sack securely over his head. The ami
mails shook him off, attacked him and
bit half of one of his hands off before
another sailor could come to the rescue.
The lion was shot in the neck, but man

Our contemporaries are making many
suggestions as to the material of which
the clothes of the newsboys should be
made. Some think leather suits would
be advisable in view of the short time the
striped suits presented by the city gov
ernment lasted, while others urge tin as
the best material. This discussion en-
ables newspaper men to air their wit, but
it really seems unnecessary. The city
government presented a given number of
newsboys with uniforms, with the under
standing that the boys would replace
them at theif '1wp expense when worn
out. Those sufts have long since served
their time and been discarded, and not a
single one has been replaced by it's owner.
Unlsss the city government intends to
clothe outright the urchins who sell
papers in the streets, our contemporaries
are wasting their time in discussing the
kind of material that should be used for
their uniforms, for there is no legal way
OF compelling the boys to buy the clothes
that may be designated as. proper for them
by the, authorities. Tosdeprive a boy of
the right to earn an honest living because
he cannot or will not dress in a prescribed
manner is not practicable in a free coun-
