Bicyclist Chased by 8 Mob.

As general thing the people of the viii lages were disposed to be friendly; but once in while used to pass through place where the spectacle of a lone Ferenghi, mak- ing his way through the bazaar or streets without escort, would excite the rowdy ele- ment to deeds of aggression. This was the case far oftener in Persia than among the Turks. The latter are finer race than the subjects of the shah, in almo every par ticular. -
 Sometimes mob of Persian villagers would capture me bodily, and endeavor to retain me until they could send for their khan, to whose pleasure and qualification they were servilely desirous of catering. Sometimes that in- dividua1 would be miles away, and might not return for hours. If the road was fairly smooth, my plan under these annoying conditions would be to pre- tend acquiescence in their proposition of waiting. would then propose little exhi- bition of my abilities for their own gratifica- tion while waiting the arrival of the khan. In their eagerness to see the unsuspecting ryots would readily fall into the trap, receiv- ing my happy proposal with shouts of ap- proval and much clapping of hands. The next minute would see me flying down the road, with swarm of bare legged Persians in full chase after me, yelling for me to come back.
 Sometimes irrigating ditches or other ob- structions would interfere with my riding sufficiently fast to escape -.e racing ryots would then recarture me, and amid much boisterous nerrinient keep strict guard over me until their object of securing tomashs for their chief would be accomplished, whe1 they would reluctantly allow me to depart Thomas Stevens.

Deceitful Society Girls.

They do say that girls are nowadays talk ing very much to acting in private life. In- genious false pretenses of asthetic occupa- tions and tastes are declared to be common among unmarried bellies who are seeking husbands. In extreme cases of positive wicked deceit, girls are known to procure professional artists half finished paintings, which they display as their own work, and which they dabble at occasionally in order to keep up appearances.
 The writer knows of fair pretender to poetic talent who got newspaper man to write for her a poem of about twenty verses Then she copied the first two or three on a sheet of paper, and left it lying on a table in her boudoir. When a female chum came in for an unceremonious call, the hostess would seem confused, and finally confess that she was trying her hand little at composition. This device was repeated for half a dozen of her friends. Then the succeeding verses were copied one after another, day by day, until the poem was, in the course of a week, completed. The observers imagined that they witnessed its evolution, and they spread the report that their friend was indeed a poetess. York Letter.

Home Life of Modern Per.ians.


 The home life of the modern Persian is not as dull and devoid of intellectual pleasures as the low state of education and of general knowledge would lead one to suppose The Persian enjoys the society of his womankind of every species, and while he undoubtedly is their tyrant and bondmaster, he is on the whole an indulgent one to his wives, seeghays Temporary wives), and slaves They play on the Persian lute, and dance to him, and tell him stories of the interminabe. wildly imaginative kind in true Scheherezade style. But what delights the average Persian more than anything else is the reciting of poetry. The whole nation is fairly imbued with poetry; it oozes out of them on every occasion. Even the speech of the common drudge is impregnated with it. Thus, then, the we'll to do Persian will assemble his friends and relatives to the hroun (the mans apartments, the Turkish selamlik), and then seme clever mirza Qearned man or scribe) or else an original poet will recite page after page from Persia's great national poets from Firdusi and Djellal- -Eddin and Saadi, but especially. from Hafiz, the great singer of love and wine These recitations will be in- terlarded with conversations about poetry, romance, the national legendary lore, or Ori- ental literature and science in general. The ghalyan travels around necessarily mean while, and servants bring in dish after dish of sweetmeats, sherbet or tea.-Wolf von Schierbrand in The Cosmopolitan.

Chew Your Food More.

am not much of an advocate of prepared foods for dyspeptics. They may spare the stomach some extra work, but it is better to do that by thorough mastication of the food before swallowing it. Let the teeth earn their board, and they and you will be all the better for it. The fellows in the army who ate "hard tack" had the strongest and best preserved teeth. What if they did knock off a piece of enamel occasionally, they gave their teeth pretty lively exercise and strengthened the roots. In many cases of dyspepsia there is nothing whatever the matter with the stomach. The furnace is all right, but it is not given chance to draw properly. Coal is piled on too fast and the fire becomes choked up. Be little easy with it, and it will work all right.-Physician in New York World.

Success in the Metropolis.


 The common opinion that New York is the paradise of western humbugs and tricksters is untrue These people do abound here be- yond doubt; but they are short lived. They flourish today and are gone tomorrow.
 They take no root, and have no hold upon any genuine interest, they attain no perma- nent success. It is only genuine merit that succeeds in the great city. Men are here subjected to a test that soon takes the conceit out of them. They are taken for just what they are worth, and no more, and he must show himself man indeed who would take his place among the princes of trade, or among the leaders of thought and opinion. He may bring with him from his distant home the brightest of reputations, but here he will have to begin at the very bottom of the ladder and mount upward again. It is slow work, so slow that it tries every quality of true manhood to its utmost. The daily life of the dwellers in the great city makes them keen, shrewd judges of human nature, and they are profcients in the art of study ing character.-Loe Howard in New York Graphic

St. Petersburg's Novel Ceremony.

The spring break up usually occurs about the middle of April, when all crossing upon the ice is stopped by the police, and the cere- monies of opening the river take place. No boat is allowed to be launched till the gover- nor of the city has passed up and down the entire distance and taken goblet of water with his report to the emperor, who drinks it, and fills the silver cup with gold coins for the poor. Then the governor rows over the course again, declares the Neva open to navi- gation, and all the inhabitants who have boats or can hire them follow him with bands of music by day and fireworks by night, great festivities occurring in their houses and the places of public resort. A state ball is some times given to celebrate the opening of the river.-William Eleroy Curtis in Chicago News. t---- -.-+

In the Constock Mines.

Then when you think of the great depth of these mines; the gigantic, incomprehensi- ble weight of the mass resting upon the timbers, and the travelling mountain in which are the mines and on which is Virginia City, you involve propositions that have stumped the deepest thinkers. For instance, queer polished sticks, as smooth as mahogany, and no thicker than my cane, are every once and a while taken out of the old workings. They are as hard and as heavy as iron, and knife will not make mark on them. Now, what are they? Originally they were twelve by twelve inch solid timbers, and the millions of tons bearing upon them in all directions, perpendicularly as well as laterally, for it is only in this way that mines can be timbered, have compressed them to this shape They are found sometimes in bits, sometimes in long pieces, taken out where caves have oc- cured and the workings displaced. No known mechanism at present, nor in any age of the past, SO far as history recounts, has such power to compress and work marvels with wood.-San Francisco Examiner.

 flee,
 gulf of darkness and vacuity;
 Ultimate dread and doom of all that are, With which the throbbing pulses are at war, As sacred child affrighted by the sea; With what shuddering speed we seek again The living contact of our own home fire Whose ruddy comfort bickers higher and

 Round which the dear, familiar faces stand, Clasping the warmth of reassuring hand, Happy to be aware of even pain! t-.- -Cornhill Magazine.

Countess NalOla.
By wILKIE COLLINS.

Let us do the countess just1ce," Lord Montbarry persisted. "There are not a haH dozen lines more that can make out. The accidental breaking of his jar of acid has burned the baron's hands severely. He IS still unable to proceed to the destruction Of the head, and the countess is woman enough with all her wickedness) to shrink from at- tempting to take his pa.e-when the nrst news is received of the coming arrival Of the commission of inquiry dispatched by the 1n- surance offices. The baron feels no alarm. Inquire as the commission may. 1t IS the nat ural death of the courier fin my lords char acter) that they are blindly investigating. The head not being destroyed, the obvious alternative is to hide it-and the baron is equal to the occasion. His studies in the old library have informed him of safe place of concealment ill the palace. The countess may recon from handling the acids and watching the process of cremation, but she can surely sprinkle little disinfecting pow der"-
 No morel" Henry reiterated. "No more!"
 'There is no more that can be read, my dear fellow. The last page looks like sheer delirium. She may we'll have told you that her invention had failed her!"
 "Face the truth honestly Stephen-and say her memory" @~
 Lord Montbarry rose from the table at which he had been sitting, and looked at his brother with pitying eyes.
 "Your nerves are out of order, Henry" he said. "And no wonder, after that frightful discovery under the hearthstone. We won't dispute about it; we will wait day or two until you are quite yourself again. In the meantime let us understand each other on one point at least. You leave the question of what is to be done with these pages of writ ing to nie, as the head of the famly?"
 W do"
 Lord Montbarry quietly took up the manu- script and threw it into the fire. "Let this rubbish be of some use," he said, holding the pages down with the poker. "The room is getting chlly-let the countess play set some of these charred logs flaming again." He waited little at the fireplace, and returned to his brother. Now, Henry, have last word to say, and then I have done. I am ready to admit that you have stumbled by an unlucky chance on the proof of crime committed in the old days of the palace, no- body knows how long ago. With that one concession 1 dispute everything else. Rather than agree in tue opinion you have formed, I won't believe anything that has happened. The supernatural influences that some of us felt when we first slept in this hotel-your loss of appetite, our sisters dreadful dreams, the smell that overpowered Francis and the head that appeared to Agnes-I declare them all to be sheer delusionsl I believe Ill noth- ing, nothing, nothing" He opened the door to go out, and looked back into the room. "Yes," he resumed, 'there is one thing be- lieve in. My wife has committed breach of confdence-I believe Agnes will marry you. Good night, Henry. We leave Venice the | first thing tomorrow morning."
 | So Lord Montbarry disposed of the mys | tery of ''The Haunted Hotel"

Raising Buffa,oes as an Industry.

A writer from Manitoba says it seems to him that the raising of buffaloes is an inn portant question for the farmers of the north west. The national government ought to take measures for the encouragement of the rais- ing of the buffalo stock. A cowhide is worth $2, but it is useless as robe, while an aver age buffalo hide is worth $10, and as robe is almost indispensable in the northern climate. The buffalo sheds it's woolly hair once year. This wool is easily gathered and works up well into Q coarse yarn. One animal will yield from ten to twelve pounds of raw wool ol--New York Tribune. t
