Marble Ponds of Persia.

The wonders of nature consists Of
pools, where the indolent waters, by a
slow and regular process. stagnate, con.
crete, and petrify, producing that beau.
tiful transparent stone, commonly call
ed tabriz marble, much used in the
burial places of Persia, and in their
best edifices. These ponds are con-
tanned within the circumference of hall
a mile, and their position is distinguish
ed by heaps of stones which have ac-
cumulated as the excavations have in
creased. The process of petrification
may be traced from its commencement
to its termination. In one part the
water is clear; in second it appears
thicker and somewhat stagnant, in a
third stage quite black, contrasting
strongly with the fourth and last stage
in which it is white as hoar frost. In
the third stage, when the surface is
quite black, it can be indented by toss
ing a stone on the surface; but in walk
ing across it it will no more stick tt
your shoes than creased tatfy will to tn,
hands. Such is the constant tendancy
of this water to become stonethat whel
it exudes from the ground in bubbles
the petriication assumes globula
shape, as if the bubbles of spring, b,
stroke of magic, had been arrested
in their play and metamorphosed int
stone.
The substance thus produced is brit
tie, transparent, and sometimes richl,
streaked with green, red, and copper
colored veins. 1t admits of being Gu
i into very large slabs. and takes goo,
! polish. So much do the people in tn
land of the shah look upon this stone a
an article of luxury that none but tn
shah, his sons, and persons privileges

Economy in Shoes.

A woman who understands the econo-
my of dress will never buy a cheap
pair of shoes. No poorer investment
can be made, for besides giving out in
shorter time than tirst-class article,
it will look shabby and worn long be-
fore it should do so. But any shoe, nc
matter how costly or weil-shaped in the
beginning. will lose its freshness speedi-
iy il not properly cared for. This is
especially applicable to those made OF
French kid, which every little bruise
and touch turns purple. A rule OBJ
served by many women, aud good
one it proves. too, is never to wear 8
street shoe in the house. 1t receives
harder treatment, strange to say, from
numerous inevitable collisions with
articles Of furniture than it would in
double the amount of street wear.
Another sensible custom is to reserve
a pair of boots for wet weather wear,
leaving them to rest in comfortable
bag between times. Nothing tells
against the beauty of footwear so much
as getting it wet, and even with rub
bers no amount of diligence will pre-,
vent the dampness of the skirts reach.
ing the ankles. Shoes should be re-
moved Immediately on arriving al
home, the dust and soil wiped away
with clean, soft rag, and then they
should be placed together in separate
pocket of the shoe bag until wanted
again. If this course is invariably pur-
sued considerable saving of money,
time and temper will be added to the
increased service derived from even ar
inferior quality of leather.-Detroit Fres

What New York Cost.

One of the most successful of land
speculations was the purchase of Man
haitian island from the Indians by the
Dutch West India company in 1926. 1t
has long been known that the astute
Dutchmen bought this land very cheap,
and there used to be tradition among
New York school-boys that the price
was bottle of rum. This, however,
says the Touths Companion, is now
proved to be an error
A few weeks ago Gen. James Grant
Wilson, editor of '.Appleton's Cyclic
padia Of American Biography" dis
covered at Amsterdam the original
deed of sale among the papers of an
old Dutch family The price paid was
about equal to $24 of our present cur
rency.
The island contains 11OOO acres OF
land. In the month of July last Viii
liam Astor of New York bought corner
lot on this island, 90 feet wide by 2OC
feet deep, for $3.50, 900 1t is evident
therefore, that the original expenditure
of $24 has been justified by events
But, on the other hand, it may be re.
marked that if any one had taken So
in 1926 and put it at interest at pei
cent, and if he and his successors hac
each year invested the interest money
at the same rate the capital would now
amount to about $1l5, 900, 900.
This is not so much as the land o
New York is worth, but it would have
been very tidy Investment

Wine at $2,OOO,OOO a Bottle

Wine at 50, 600, 900 bottle is drinl
that in expense would rival the luxu
rious taste of barbaric splendor, wher
priceless pearls were thrown into the

tents; yet in the city of Bremen jus

Hotel de Vile, in the Rose apartment
there are twelve cases of holy wine,
each case insc;i ,ed with the name o
one of the apostles. This ancient wine
was deposited in its present resting
place in the year 1924, 265 years ago
One case of this wine, consisting of five
exhofts of 2O4 bottles, cost 500 rix
dollars in 1924. Including the ex
pense of keeping up the cellar, interes

How Johnnie Caught Rattlers.

A little boy was very fond of ramb-
ling in the woods in southern Georgia,
and every time he went out he would
capture rattlesnake and bring il. home
alive.
How do you catch them, JohnnieP"
said the mother.
'tJes' so," said the boy, and he
showed her the operation. He would
take large candy jar and place the
mouth of the jar in front of the rat
tier. Then he would firmly fix his
gaze upon the snake and hold him
spell bound. He would then punch
the snakes tail With long stick and
shove him along until he had him
secure in the bottle.
In this manner he captured thirty
rattlers, and placed them on shelves in
the kitchen.
The curious collection remained there
for some time. One morning the
mother missed the snakes and also the
boy. She looked around the house and
found them nowhere. Finally she
heard laughter in the front yard. She
went out and beheld fantastic
spectacle. The young kid was dancing
around the front yard, while the thirty
snakes were twisting around flowers
and bushes, and had converted the
flower yard into a regular snakedom.-

Women ofThe bahamas.

Hopetown women-I write it with
due reverence-are peculiar. They
are beautiful, and yet they are not
beautiful. The climate in this quarter
of the globe is made for love, laziness
and what Catullus summed up in
the word ''voluptas. There is a golden
glow in the atmosphere, a dreamy
tropic mellowness which rounds the
angular unrest of life to a luxurious
philosophy. Climate conditions tend
to the production of a rare quality OF
female beauty. But female beauty is
a complex affair. In the higher mental
activities those which illuminate the
face and give it vivacity and piquarcE
the Hopetown girl is wanting. The
same lack of cultivation is marked in
her face which is observed in oriental
beauties. Her face can set the heart OF
a healthy man to working like respi-
ration pump. But their liquid depths
are lighted by no spiritual fire. Theirs
is physical lovcliness; and the
same is true of her large, tremuEous
mouth and her ripe, carnatiou lips.
Her form is that of Juno rather than
of Venus and her hands and feet arc
of liberal dimensions. The Hopetown

Cane or Corn.

A traveller crossing Kansas saw fo
the first time great field of sugar-cane
but mistOok it for Indian corn, whicl
it somewhat resembles, says the Youth
Companion. Intending to be affable
he said to an old farmer sitting nea
him in the car:
That's find field IF corn, sir"
Call it corn up your way, do youP'
was the response.
''Why, isn't itP''
''Well, it mought be corn, mebbe,
| said the farmer, with a slow smile. II
mought be corn just as our old ca
mought have been rabbit THE time h
got shot for one.'
"How's that?"
"Well, old Tom was licking his way
through the wood back of our hous,
one day us fast as he could cut, anC
| my son Jake was out with his gun an,
shot him down fur rabbit. When w
come to gibe Jake about it he says, say
he: Well, low he mought have show
ed more ears"
The traveller laughed heartily as h,
glanced again from the car window a
the slender, earless stalks of the sugar
cane, and he laughed again as the farm
er concluded:
AN jest in the same way, stranger
that thur cane mought have beer
corn if it had contriyed to show mor'
