For three years was almost crippled with an
awful sore leg from my knee down to my ankle:
the skin was entirely gone, and the flesh was one
mass of disease. Some physicians pronounced
IL incurabe. 1t had diminished about one-third
the size of the other, and / was in a hopeless
condition. After trying all kinds of remedies
and spending hundreds of dollars, from which
got no relief whatever was persuaded to try
your CUTIcURA REMEDIES, and the result was as
follows: After three days l noticed a decided
change for the better, and at the end of two
months was completely cured. My flesh was
purified, and the bone (which had been exposed
for over year, got sound. The flesh began to
grow, and to-day, and for nearly two years past,
my leg is as well as ever it was, sound in every
respect, and not a sign of the disease to be seen

Persian gulf. The work is always done by
women, andi the families of small commu
mites generally combine. In the villeges in
the south one may often see, and more
often hear, ten or twelve women preparing
the rice for the next days consumption.
Each woman wields a long and heavy
wooden pestle; one woman, generally the
most muscular who acts as leader of the
gang, begins to sing and step around the
big stone mortar; all the others then sing
and follow the leader, all keeping accurate
time with the feet and with the pestles,
which they crash into the rice about
every third note. 1t takes the gang
about half an hour to clean 32115 pounds of
rice.
THE YEARLY PRODUCE,
sit seems quite impossible to obtain any
correct figures regarding the yearly pro-
duce of rice in Persia. There are no statis-
tics whatever regarding agriculture, and
the population can only be estimated. The
natives can only make gueSses, and their
gueSses vary so much they are of no value
From my personal estimates of the popula-
tlon, my observation of the economic con-
dition of the Inhabitants and information
from the best sources, a have tried TO obtain
some figures more or less approaching the
truth, and this | have done in the following
manner: Rice is an important staple of
food of the Inhabitants. Calculated per
head of the population, most rice is con-
sumed by the MaZanderan (the Mazande-
ranif,) but it must not be supposed, as some
travellers wish it to be done, that the MAJ
anderani eat rice only. 1t is true that
they eat little or no bread, and it is COM
monty reported that Mazanderani can not
digest bread. and would die if he were to
eat bread only for couple of days. Con
olly's Overland Journey says: so little do
the people use wheat and barley that it is a
saying among other Persians: IAN un'
ruly Mazanderan boy threatens his mother
that if his wishes be not complied with he
will go into Trak and eat bread)."' But
they eat with the rice sufficient guam
titles of other food containing more nutr1C-
i've matter than rice does-for instance,
butter, cheese, meat, beans, peas, vege-
tables, etc.
THE FOOD OF THE MAZANDERANI
consists of rice, varions stews made Of
condiments, meats, fresh and salt fish,
game, butter. onions, garlic, walnuts, and
pOmegranate juice, and OF lettuce, milk,
cheese, treacle and various fruits Rice,
with a curry or stew made of pheasant or
woodcock. walnuts, pomegranate juice,
butter and garlic is the famous dish of Gillian
and Mazanderan, called Fisnisass. Compu-
tation gives the yearly consumption of rice
in Persia at 457, 600 tons. About 300 tons
of rice are imported annually from India
by way of the Persian gulf ports, and de-
Quoting this quantity from the owe total
we get the yearly produce consumed in
Persia, 457,300 In comparison with the
quantity from the above total consumed
that which is exported is inconsiderable,
amounting to hardly 10000 tons per annum.
Adding 20, 900 tons as the quantity exported
to the total consumed, we get for the total
yearly produce All, 300, or say in round
numbers 100000 tons, and this figure think
near the truth.n

LEADING AMERICAN EXHIBITOR AT
THE EXPOSITION.

Edison is in Paris, which outdoes
herself in the graceful hOnors paid to
our leading inventor. Nothing has
been better said in his praise than by
a writer in Figaro: Never can a suf-
ficient tribute of honor be paid to him
who by telephone transports speech
from pole to pole; who by photograph
repeats to our ears and hearts blessed
words of dear dead ones, giving theui
to us with the charm of their intOna-
ton. He has merited well ofall coun-
tries.n While Paris thus gene "ously
recognizes his work, we at home re-
member that the Edison exhibit is
perhaps the most wonderful thing in
the worlds fair and the one which
saves the general inadequacy of
contributions from the United
States from being disgraceful.
Edison was born at Milan, Ohio, in
1S47. He began his working life as
newsboy when about eight years
old, at Port Huron, Michigan. Five
years afterwards, he succeeded in
procuring a contract for the exclusive
sale of newspapers OH the Grand
Trunk Railway of Canada. He began
the study Of chemistry, prosecuting
it in connection with his newspaper
business, and was subsequently an
operator. In 1867, while living in
Cincinnati, he began experimenting
with the view to sending two mes
sages at once over one wire, and su,
ceeded in doing this in Boston not
long afterwards. This was the first
of the many inventions which have
earned for him and his country inn
mortal honor. Edison has made
wealth by his inventions and is chief
proprietor of a great factory at Menlo
Park, New Jersey.

A SAD ROMANCE.

A Sister in the Ursuline Convent
Becomes Insane.
A pathetic and very sensational ro-
nance was allowed to come out in
the Superior court of California in
Los Angeles July Goth, in the exam
ination of an insane patient. The
patient was Mrs. Clara Lightfoot, of
Clearwater, the wife of Frank Light
foot. The lady, a woman of educa-
ton and very accomplished, seemed
to be suffering from emotional insan-
ity. Mrs. Lighttoot has been maj
ried only a little over year. al
though she has been insane and at
year she was the Mother Superior of
the Convent of the Sacred Incarna-
ton at Eagle Pass, Tex, having IN
der her over 100 nuns. She had taken
the veil at the San Antonio Convent
and was sent to take charge of the
house at Eagle Pass.
Before she became nun it was said
that there had been a romance in her
life, and that she had renounced the
world because of it. Going into the
order her eminent talents led her at
once to the front, and she was given
charge of the new house. For seven
years she remained in charge of the
convent, and one of her ideas is that
while there she committed sin I'M
pardonable in a sister. In 1875, in &C
cordance with the customs of the or
der, she was reduced to the ranks to
learn the virtue of obedience. With
her other troubles this broke her
heart, and the latent insanity that
was probably born in her developed.
She had long illness and when
she recovered the Bishop of Texas alb
solved her from her vows and dis
charged her from the convent. After
a few years she was sent for by her
brother in Los Angeles, and she lived
in his family for long time. On
July 4, 1888, she left the house, and
somewhere on the street, while she
was following the procession, she met
and became acquainted with Light
foot. Within a few days thereafter
she married him, and the two went to
live upon the ranch at Clearwater.
The woman was committed to the
Stockton Asylum.

Citizens Committee.

OF the twenty-five citizens commit
tee on fair transportation appointed at
Saturdays mass meeting more than
half met at the board of trade rooms
yesterday afternoon.
The committee of three to confer with
the fair management reported the re-
suit of their conference with the pres
ident, A. G. Schryver.
This reply cites the resolution
passed by the directors of the fair and
which is as follows:
Resolved, That in view of the fact
that the city council has persistently
opposed any and all attempts to pro-
vide safe and adequate transportation
to and from the fair grounds, and de-
clined TO grant any practical franchise
for such purpose, it is decided not to
attempt to hold a fair this year."
1t also says, remove the cause and
the fair association will reverse it's de-
cision, but it must be removed in four
days or this decision is final.

The Fastest Railway Time.

Railways of England.
The question, "How fast can a To-
connective rum" has been a good deal
discussed recently in the engineering
papers. The conclusion appears to
be that there is no authentic record
of any speed above eighty miles an
hour. That speed was obtained
many years ago by Bristol and Ex-
eter tank engine with nine foot dri-
wing wheels-a long extinct species
down steep bank. But it has, ap-
parently never been beaten. 1t is,
indeed, not little strange how
sharply the lineappears to have been
drawn at eighty miles an hour. Rec
Ords of seventy-fve miles an hour are
as plenty. as black berries. Records
of eighty are exceedingly rare. Rec
ords of any greater speed have way
of crumbling beneath the lightest
touch.

Knraln Will Face the Music.

BALTIMORE, August 20.-Sporting
circles were excited last night over
the rumors that Kilrain had left town
and that his bonds of $1,000 would be
forfeited. He was not at home, but
his friends say that he has no inten-
ton of evading the law, inasmuch as
he knows that even should he be con-
vicled and sentenced, he will never
serve a days time in Mississippi
prison. Sheriff Childs, of Miss, said
that Kilrain had no inten ton of CIV
ing him the slip. "Kilrain is no
fool - said he, land he knows he has
nothing to fear from Gov. Lowry
We will start south today without
waiting until Thursday, the time
fixed by the court here for him to APP
pear in the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings." Sheriff Childs added,
" Kilrain would be convicted
and given the same sentence as
Sullivan, and that he would
appeal to the higher court and be re-
leased on bail. The court of appeals
would not sit for ninety days and in
the meantime, the railroad company,
at which the prosecution was really
directed, would be dealt with and the
pugilists would be either pardoned or
proceedings against them dropped.
Governor Lowry was after the rail
road company, but it was only by
prosecuting the principals, that he
could reach the accessories.

Discontinued Cklahomites.

GUTHRIE, 1. t., August 2O.-Chief
Mayes' treatment of the Cherokee
commissioners is universally con-
demped throughout the territory of
Oklahoma. Secretary Speed of the
commission, upon his return to Guth-
RE was besieged by host of Cherc.
kee strip boomers, anxious to learn
the prospects for the strip being
opened up next spring. 1t is
believed Guthrie will be the
headquarters of the Cherokee
commissioners. In few weeks
they will begin negotiating with the
Chickasaws. There is no doubt but
that large part of the Chickasaw re-
servation will be thrown open next
spring. Immediately after the terri
tory convention Secretary Speed will
join Judge Wilson in the Chickasaw
Nation, where they will soon be fol-
lowed by Gen. Fairchild.

Religion Taxed in Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 20.-M.
Vischnegradsky, minister of finance,
intends to tax the protestant churches
in the Baltic provinces. These church
es have hitherto been exempt from
taxation. This is one of a series of
reforms by which the government in
tends to thoroughly Russianize the
old Baltic German institutions and to
diminish the influence of the German
protestant clergy.
