Persia's Marble Ponds,

The marble ponds of Persia consist of pools,
or "thgez," as the Persians call them, where
the indolent waters, by slow and regular
process, stagnate, concrete and petrify, pro-
ducing that beautiful transparent stone COM
monty called tabriz marble, much used in the
burial places of Persia and in their best edifces
These ponds are contained within the circum-
ference of half mile, and their position is
distinguished by heaps of stones which have
accumulated as the excavations have increased.
The process of petrifcation may be traced
from its commencement to its termination.
In one part the water is clear; in a second
1t appears thicker and somewhat stagnant;
in third stage. quite black, contrasting
strongly with the fourth and last stage,
in which it is as white as hoarfrost. In
the the third stage, when the surface is quite
black, it can be indented by tossing a stone on
the surface, but in walking across it it will no
more stick to the shoes than creased taffy will
to the hands. Such is the constant tendency Of
this water to become stone that when it exudes
from the ground in bubbles the petrifaction
assumes globular shape, as if the bubbles of
a spring. by a stroke of magic, had been ar
rested in their play and metamorphosed into
stone. The substance thus produced is brittle,
transparent and sometimes richly streaked with
green red and copper-colored veins. 1t admits
OF being cut into very large slabs and takes q
good polish. So much do the people in the
land Of the shah look upon this stone as an
article of luxury that none but the shah, his
sons and persons privileged by special rhad-
mas are permitted to use it.

IN A NEW PLACE.
The Handsome Store Where an Old Bust.
ness House May be Found.

A handsome new store has been added to the
business attractions of It'll street. 1t is new
store, but an old business house which the
people of Washington long ago learned to
patronize. Mr.. Henry Strasburger il known as
a pioneer in the dry goods trade of this city,
and that he still continues to give satisfaction
is evidenced by the throngs of customers daily
crowding his new store at 4O4 and 4O6 7th
street.
Mr.. Strasburger for many years carried on
business successfully at 800 It'll street. but
nnding the requirements of his ever increasing
trade to be demanding each day in a stronger
manner less eramped quarters, he decided on a
new location. and one month ago the new bazaar
was opened to the inspection of the public.
Mr. Strssburgers name is well known to the
Duylng portion Of the community. His place
OF business is situated in the heart of the mer-
camille section of the city. The spacious sales
rooms are fitted up in an elegant manner, and
the stock of dry goods. cloaks, gentlemen's fur
nishing goods and varieties is so complete as to
cause the spectator to rather search for some
thing missing than take stock of what might be
present. With his increased facilities. coupled
with the high reputation the house had al
ready won, the new establishment could not
fail OF great and gratifying success.
The looms of the best manufactures in this
country and Europe are engaged in supplying
goods for the shelves of Mr.. Strasburgers
bazaar. The proprietors are only too ready to
have their stock shown.

EXPENSES OF sswALKlNG OUT.o
The Cook Changed for Suppers. the
Tailor for His Time.

From the Pail Mall Gazette
A very amusing case has Just been decided
in Frankfort police court 1t appears that q
cook, no longer quite young, was courted by q
tailor somewhat younger than She On Sundays,
and occasionally during the week, the gallant
lover was In the habit of taking his lady for ex-
tended promenades and visits to restaurants,
where the latter always paid the expenses. She
also provided him regularly with his supper.
Presently, however. the awful truth was
brought home to the cook that she was not the
only friend on whom the man Of the scissors
and the needle lavished his affections. Nothing
ioath, she went to the nearest police court,
suing the faithless one for the expenses of ali
the In clandestine meals provided by her and the
all money spent when walking OUT with him.
The tailor, however, was once again too much
for her. Instead of appearing before the tri.
bunal as repentant sinner, he came into court
with long bill in his hand on which long
account was given Of the time lost from his
work while going out with his cook. When the
two bills were compared the difference Of ca
los. was in favor of the tailor, and the lady was
ungallantly compelled to pay every farthing
of it.
