PERSIAN woMEN,s DRESSES.
Their Costumes Made for Comfort Rather than

Their Costumes Made for Comfort Rather than
for Style
The outdoor costume of the Persian
women who dwell in towns consists of
sheet of cotton or silk two and half
yards long by two yards wide, according
to the Philadelphia Telegraph. 1t is
dyed deep blue with indigo. The
chadur, or veil, among the wealthy may
cost as much as f5 or &c, and among the
fashionable is often trimmed with deli
cate filmy fringe of gold thread upon
three sides of it. Lady Haberton g in
vention of the divided skirt has been the
fashion among Persian woman from time
immemorial 1T generally, among the
middle class, reaches just below the
knee. The wealthy wear it con-
siderably shorter, while the village
women and the jewellers in tents
allow it TO descend TO their ankles
When she is about to go abroad the Per-
sian woman puts on a couple of long,
pilIow-case- like bags of longcloth, dyed
of some very bright color, which are pro-
vided with shaped extremeties, like
stocking feet, of the same material.
They are fastened at the waist by CIR
die, and when put on resemble q pair of
pillow cases, with foot at the extremity
of each.
MThe feet of a Persian woman are the
smallest in the world. She thrusts them
into tiny pair of high-heeled slippers,
places the center of the untrimmed edge
of the chadur over her forehead, and
then draws over her head the long white
outer veil of fine linen, four feet long and
two feet wide There is an aperture in
this veil one inch deep and three inches
across; this aperture is covered by a
patch of delicate embroidery which en-
ables her to see without beng seen
This is the outdoor costume of the Per-
sian women; it is an absolute disguise,
and effectually conceals her iden-
tity. 1t is probably the most
hideous outdoor costume in the world,
and its effect is absolutely CHASTITY, re-
sembling nothing so much as the fright
full costumes worn by the brothers Of the
Misericordia in Italy. 1t is expensive,
ugly, uncomfortable, hot in the summer,
cold in the winter, its exceeding folly
is probably only exeelled by the chimney
pot hat of civilization, and yet Persian
women cling to the veil as a privilege OF
their sex.

HIT Ii A PRAYER.
Some New York Senator's Take offense at a
Prayer for Deliyeranee From
Political Gamblers"


ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. 5.-Rev. 8. v {.
Leech of Albany opened the session of
the senate this morning with prayer. He
referred to corruption which so greatly
Influenced elections in the great cities,
and prayed for deliyerance from .'polit-
zeal gamblers y who buy up the votes of
ignorant immigrants who comprise such
large proportion of the population of
cities.
At the conclusion of the prayer Mr..
Grady arose TO move, he said, that the
officer having charge Of the selection of
clergyrnen TO offer opening prayers III this
body be instructed hereafter TO give no
invitation 10 the person who has just as
sailed the throne of mercy with a very
peculiar petition. 1t is an outrage that q
prayer should be made cover for assail-
ing political majorities in our cities as
Ignorant immigrants stepped IA supersti-
ton.
Perhaps the prayer was meant for the
senator from the Sixth GRADY, inter-
rupted Erwin
No, it was not, - answered Grady.
But think it was, replied Erwin.
''The insult is worse, said Mr.. Muir
ply, ''becauSe it comes from claptrap
politician who has been perennial can
didate for chaplain of the senate.
t'But what is the matter with the
prayer? - persisted Mr.. Erwin. 81
think we should pray eontin Ially to be
delivered from fraud and corruption. -
The lieutenant governor ut this point
ruled the entire matter out of order.

had alternately sang, danced and cried
After making the sanguinary exclamation
he suddenly went across Pratt street
where Francis Valentine has for thirty
FIVE years kept a fruit and candy stand.
Going up to the stand, Wiley took a
handful Of peanuts from the tray. The
old man demonstrated, when Wiley
without a word, rushed over to the oppo-
site corner. Breaking open glass case
at the stand Of William Hill, he pulled
out a broad sheathed knife with blade
five inches in length. Hill started
to seize him, but the fellow made
stroke with his knife, cutting Hill IS coat
at the shoulder. Not satisfied with this,
he made another swipe, completely sew
ering Hill IS coat tails.
Wiley then dashed over to Valentine
and hurled him to the ground, after
which he hacked and slashed the head of
the old man in frightful manner. It
took three men to drag the mailman away
from his victim, and he was only secured
after q severe struggle.

Cheyenne Stock Journal: Some of our

of cattle are thinking seriously of dehorn-
ing their animals This practice does
not seem TO have gained much popularity
among our cattlemen. One gentleman
said TO us: ssIf / want cattle without
horns i will breed that kind L think that
most anyone can be suited with q cross of
one or the other of the polled breeds on
the horned breed which he may fancy. I
never made shipment yet which was
deprecated in value because of their
horns; that is to butvery little extent,

One of the pluckiest fellows that ever
lived in Montana is John Myers. He is
twenty years old and has just gone
through d thrilling experience. He is q
cowboy and was hunting for horses with
party IN the Still Water river. He
was missing Tuesday night when the
others came in. II was thought he had
stopped at some squaw man So house
and no fear was felt for his safety.
Two days after, the men in the camp
noticed dark object slowly sliding down
the side of an opposite bluff. 1t was
Myers. Both of his legs were broken and
his head and face terribly lacerated. He
was weak from loss of blood and the ex-
posture he had undergone dragging him
self along for thirty hours in the snow.
His horse stumbled and threw him on the
rocks and ran away. He crawled up the
side of steep bluffs where few men could
walk. 1t was wonderful exhibition of
nerve.
