THE NoxARcR's DRESS

hsps, than that of some who have discoursed
on that sovereign and his country.
THE xoSARcH's DRESS.
To those who imagine the shah TO be habited
in turban and flowing robes, like other orien-
tails, il may be Of interest to know that whether
at court or on his travels his dress differs but
little from that Of q European military oficer
The costume is simple as TO color, depending
for its sple ndor upon state occasions on the
large diamonds which serve as buttons, and
literally form the epaulets. The hesd-cover-
ing, which is never removed during the day.
Is, however. essentially Persian, being slightly
conical, and made Of . stun initiating very fine
black lambskin.
When the camp remains some days in one
spot the high officers Of the court sometimes
amuse themselves with assisting the cook in
the cuisine much as our own people are wont
when going out for q sail, all then taking a
hand In preparing the chowder; or grand
hunt is arranged and the gamekeepers and
falconers assemble in number and style that
reminds one of the hunting pageants Of past
ages. Persia abounds in game both large and
small, partridges, pheasants, hares. gazelles,
ibex. panthers and tigers being abundant, with
a few lions in southern Persia. The shah is an
enthusiastic sportsman, like many of his prede-
cessors. daring and good at the rifle. After the
chase Is over, while the impression is yet vivid,
he has sometlm sketched some of the scenes
OF the day, both with pen and pencil, while re-
posing in his tented pavilion.
These details of the life of one of the ablest
and most prominent sovereigns of the day are
not unimportant, for they represent scenes
such as were seen in former days in Europe:
scenes gradually becoming more rare even in
Asia and destined entirely to cease and disap-
pear during the life of some of those now liv-
ing, so rapidly are the changes of the age in
the Orient as well as in Europe.

When Joe Jefferson was invited by Henry
Irving to come over to England and play a sea-
son at Mr.. Irving's Lyceum theater London,
many people were bit surprised that Jeffer-
son sent Henry an unqualified .'No!'' to his po-
lite invitation. If any of these people have
met Richard Mansfield since his return from
abroad they probably don't wonder at Jeffer-
sons Nor 80 much they did. Mansfield
says Irvings Lyceum theater is regular Jo-
nah of house. and that Irving himself can't
make 1t pay more than gas bills. Mansfield
| took the house on representations that it was a
sure snap for any show, just like the Casino
here. Well, Mansfield sunk thousands of dol
lars there in less than no time but Mr.. Emery
Irving-bless his frugal soul-got the full
rental money he had stipulated for every Mon
day morning. and when Mansfield pleaded with
him for a reasonable deduction ON account OF
business not being up to representations, did
| he get it! Not farthing. Messrs. Edwin
| Booth and Lawrence Barrett could add cbapter
| to the sad tale told by Mansfield if they would,
| for both of them have been through the very
same great representations, large expectations,
| disastrous realities, and non-deductions. Prob
ably Joe Jefferson had heard about the Booth
and Barrett experience before he got his polite

Talking about Booth and Barrett, heard al

Seeds from Early and Late Ripening Fruits.
In q report from the Michigan Agri-
cultural college station occurs the follow
ing:
Fifty-two varieties of tomatoes were
planted in duplicate, six plants being
grown from seeds of the first ripe fruits
of 1887, and the six adjoining hills from
seeds selected some two weeks later
Compiling the weight of the fruit grown
from these varieties, it was found that
the seeds of the first ripe fruits pro-
duced at the first picking 85s pounds of
ripe fruit, while the other plants gave
PSI pounds only, showing gain Of
II pounds in favor of planting seeds of
the first ripe fruits, or 25 per cent. Ex-
aiming the figures, it was found that
the angular sorts, which naturally ripen
early, produced 26 9-16 pounds at the
first picking from the first ripe fruits,
while only 1116 pounds were produced
by the late fruits, or only one-fourth as
many. With the apple shaped sorts the
result was reversed, as the yield was
respectively $40 pounds and 81 us
pounds for the seeds from the first and
the late ripening fruits, or, in other
words, the first picking of tomatoes of
angular varieties gave four times as
many fruits from plants grown from
seeds of the first ripe fruits as from those
selected from the main crop, while with
the apple shaped sorts only two-ffths as
many were obtained.
