DRESS IN PERSIA.
The Frlghtful Costumes Worn y, tho
Pretty Women of Teheran.

The outdoor costume of the Persian
women who dwell in towns consists OF
a sheet of cotton or silk p yards long
by 2 yards wide; it is dyed a deep blue
with indigo. The chadur, or vail,
among the wealthy, may cost as much
as Is or f6, and among the fashion
able is often trimmed with delicate
filmy fringe of gold-thread upon three
sides of it. Lady Haberton's invention
of the divided skirt has been the
fashion among the Persian women
from time immcmorial. Ii generally,
among the middle class, reaches just
below the knee. The wealthy wear it
considerably shorter, while the village
women and the dwellers in tents allow
1t to descend to their ankles. When
she is about to go abroad the Persian
woman puts on couple of long, pill
low-case like bags of long-cloth, dyed
OF some very bright color, which are
provided with shaped eXtremities, like
stocking feet, of the same material.
They are fastened ut the waist by
girdle, and when put on resemble a
pair of pillow-cases, with foot at the
extremity of each.
The feet of Persian women are tho
smallest in the world. She thrusts
them into tiny pair of high heeled
slippers, places the center OF the I'M
trimmed edge of the chdd,v over her
forehead, and then draws over her
head the long white outer vail of fine
linen, four feet long and two feet wide.
There is an aperture in this vail one
inch deep and three inches across;
this aperture is covered by patch of
delicate embroidery. which enables her
to see without being seen. This is the
outdoor costume of the Persian woman;
1t is an absolute disguise, and effect
ually conceals her identity. 1t is prob
ably the most hideous outdoor costume
in the world. and its effect is absolute
ly CHASTITY, resembling nothing so much
as the frightful costumes worn by the
brothers of the Misericordia in Italy.
1t is expensive, ugly, uncomfortable,
hot in summer, cold in winter; its ex-
ceeding folly is probably only exccled
by the chimney-pot hat of civilization,
and yet Persian women cling to the
vail as privilege of their sex. Good

real life no one ever has travelled,
and no one ever will travel, anything
like so far. No human being ever
has travelled 100000 miles; and it is
safe to say that no one ever Will. To
complete this measure of journey
ing would require an average Of
100000 miles year for fifty years.
Some few, perhaps, in all their lives,
may have travelled 100000 miles,
but these are probably very rare
exceptions. So we see that no ono
ever has lived who has Travelled more
than a small part of the distance to
Venus. Yet, compared with other
bodies in the system, this star may
be said to be almost a neXt-door

STORAGE OF APPLES.
4 Few Points About Keeping Fruit During
the Winter.

There are but a very few points to
the secret of success in keeping apples
during the winter The critical time
is not in the winter, but before the
cold weather sets in. In the first place,
the apples should be picked before
they are perfectly ripe--abOut the time
they begin TO ripen is the best. Picked
at that time, carefully sorted and put
in barrels, they can be left in the
orchard under shed, or covered with
boards and straw, until the weather
begins to get quite cool. Then they
are carefully sorted and removed to a
dry, cold cellar, or as many must do,
placed underground in "a dry. we'll
drained location, They are, however,
not covered in the pits very deeply at
first, considerable straw is used, and
they are covered lightly with earth
until the ground begins to freeze. A
large number placed in a heap will not
freeze very easily, but ventilation is al
ways prONlucu tutOuSl lllC upper pdFJ
of the pit.
The cellar should moi contain any
vegetables. After the perfectly sound
apples are removed to the cellar in
clean barrels, they should be so ar
ranged as to allow free circulation of
air all around the barrels. Now, if
the cellar is kept dry and at a tempera-
ture just q little above the freezing
point, il is all that can be done. To
keep the cellar cool enough requires
daily attention; during the cool nights
and warm days the doors aud windows
should be kept open all night and
closed perfectly tight during the day;
YOU thus bottle up, so TO speak, the
cool air of one night during the day,
to be renewed the next, accomplishing,
at the same time, one of the most i'm
portant Objects thorough ventila-
ton, which. during the winter should
not be neglected HHSbaHdry.

The Saloon Power OF New York
The metropolitan.

The Metropoliton,
There is no more grevious evil in
the majority of our large cities, and
especially in New York and Brook
Ign, than the rule of politics by the
Rum power. 1t is estimated that
there are upwards of twelve thousand
saloons in these two places alone and
it is not too much to say that each Of
these Gilded Gin mills is responsible
for share of the poverty and crime
that exist. 1t has been shown that
the Excise Commissioners do not
grant licenses in accordance with the
Excise law that the Police Commits
sioners do not vigorously enforce it !;
that the Mayor is tramelled by the
confirming power of the Aldermen,
and that the latter are to great ex-
tent interested in the liquor trade.
In 1887, the Church Temperance
Society made Il complete list of all
the liquor licenses then existent in
the city, and among other things was
published table showing that 633
political meetings were held in
saloons, Sc were held next door to
saloon, and only 2S3 held apart from
saloons, a total of 1,0O2. A Temper
ance orator needs no stronger argu-
ment than is contained in these
figures. But the most amazing
figures are those which record the
chattel or personal mortgages, given
by these saloon keepers upon their
fixtures, to the big brewers and Others
who set them up in business with the
understanding that they shall retail
only specific brand of beer or other
liquor. In one instance, that OF
Bernheimer & Schmid, the firm
recorded 600 chsttel mortgages, ofthe
| NdluC vi 'SolO, lOt anu III dllOtllCi -uJ
mortgages were recorded of the
value of $442,O63 Eighteen other
brewers hold 1000 mortgages of the
value of $949, 900. According to the
pamphlet issued by the Church Tenn
perance Society from which we
derive these facts, there have been
granted on saloon fixtures in the city
of New York, from October, 1887, to
October, 1888, the total number OF
4,7l0 chattei mortgages with total
value of "a, 959,57S. 1t is truism
that Figures never lie," and in the
foregoing, we may read the reason
why the grog-shop has become a
power for evil well calculated to
arouse the fears of every lover of his
country. 1t is trade that is sappiug
the best life of the country, for it is a
boast that in New York alone it con.
trolls forty thousand votes.

With lips slightly parted, her chest
heaving with gentle excitement, and
her eyes luminous with the dreamy
exultation of Il deeply-poetic nature,
Glycerine McCurdy, in the first flush
OF her radiant young womanhood,
leaned forward and drank in the glori-
Gus beauty of the landscape. Her COM

reply TO the exclamation of his fair

With his soul in his eyes the ecstatic
youth was looking at the rapt face be-

exclaimed.
A vivid blush overspread the face of
the lovely young girl.
Forgive me, Glycerine," murmured
Eulet, "for my presumption in thus ad-
dressing you, but can keep silent no
longer"
He bent over her and his breath
famed her glowing check as he went
on impetuously:

"Do not say it, Mr.. Melone!" said
the young lady, with averted face.
