In a Persian yinsrard.

Hassan and ! rode out to a big vine
yard near Gulaclz, in the foot hills of the
Elburz mountains, to pick out the neces-
sary quantity of grapes. Hassan said it
was best TO buy them ON the vines and
leave them there until we were ready for
them. We found the vineyard inclosed
within substantial mud walls twenty feet
high. A little stream of water flowed
beneath an opening in the wall at one
side, and out again on the other The
water was used for irrigating the vines.
Instead of being trained up posts or
trellis work, the vines were trailing over
long ridges of dry earth. The soil of the
vineyard was piled up in long mounds or
ridges about four feet high. The vines
were planted in the trenches, and grew
over the ridges. These latter We're made
perpendicular on the south side, but
slanting on the north. The vines are
trailed up the northern slopes so as to
benefit by the oblique rays of the sun,
which are supposed to be better for the
grapes than direct rays.
Several varieties of grapes were in the
vineyard, from little white grapes called
kishmish, from which are made the sui
tana raisins of commerce, tosbig black
grapes almost the size of egg plums.

A Queer submerged Railway.

Spain has novelty in the way of a
submerged railway. 1t runs through
the surf off Oreton, near Bilboa, $50
feet out into the ocean. The mines of
Oreton are extremely rich in iron, but
there is no harbor there and great diff
ficulty has heretofore been experienced
in getting the ore off to ships. Now
that the submerged railway has been
built it is simple matter 1t runs out
into deep water, and an iron tower
seventy feet high, worked by counter
balances, runs from the cliffs to the
waiting vessels which are moored bow
and stern in the roadstead
When the tower arrives at the ship
its top, bearing its load of ore, is about
even with the vessels deck. As soon
as the iron is loaded on TO the ship the
weight of the counterbalances pulls
the tower back to the cliff, where it
runs up to the mouth of chute and
automatically opens its mouth. The
chute comes down from the mines and,
when it has dropped on the tower
enough ore to overcome the weight OF
the counterpoise, the tower starts away
to sea again. This sort of thing is
kept up until the vessel is filled. All
that is necessary to do to start the
tower on its peregrinations and put
the submarine railway in operation Is
for the miners to drop ore into the
chute. New York Tribune.

Pasteur's proposal to rid Australia of
its rabbit plague by injecting the rabbits
with chicken cholera has met with de-
servedly severe criticism on the ground
that these lower organisms on which
chicken cholera and other contagions de-
pend develop Objectionable peculiarities
under Australian conditions Another
Frenchman has discovered that para
site which causes wasting disease in man
will produce tubercular disease in hares;
and it is ION the cards" that he, too,
may compete for the Australian rabbit
prize by introducing this disease among
the bunnies The circle will be complete
when the Australian rabbit, infected
with strongylss by the sensational
Frenchman, is unsuspectingly eaten by
the Australian stockman only to find
himself the victim of chylostromosis.

There are many instances where
women have invented articles for con-
venience and of practical usefulness, for
which patent has never been applied.
though not the less patentable or appre-
ciated, as the following instance, which
shows not only the ability but the genius
with which she is by nature endowed.
The article was devised CD by woman
in Connecticut, the fatherland Of invent
i've genius and Yankee ingenuity, the
land of steady habits, wooden clocks.
wooden nutmegs and red oak hams.
The lady was one day using the carving
knife, which probably, from too frequent
contact with bones and the stovepipe.
which woman generally uses for a
steel, with uncertain results, had become
rather dull, and the handle of which. in
her frantic efforts to ''carve dat possum, y
twisted about and hurt her delicate
digits.
At last, after several desperate and
hazardous attempts, she turned sharply
to her better half, who sat BY calmly
viewing the situation, and probably re
hecting on the chances of life and death
and the prospect of square meal. and
asked. ''Can't you invent handle that
won't twist about and hurt so:' With
fear and trembling lest his answer should
cause his irate spouse to scalp him on the
spot, the good man answered that he
could not. well lean, was the reply,
and with the impetuosity proverbial of
her sex she left the room and soon re-
turned with triumphant air and piece
of putty, which she soon had shaped to
fit her hand, and, holding it up to the
admiring, though crestfallen, lord, said:
''There, that's what I call handle. "
Although no patent has ever been ap-
piled for, these handles, invented by a
woman, are in great demand, and thou
sands are annually made.-Boston

HOW Actors should Sneak.

On the question of articulation l sum
up what have to say in this axiom. The
actor must not speak as people talk; he
must recite.
Recite truly, recite naturally, and all
will be well; but whatever you do, re-
cite.
For to recite is, of course, a sort of
speaking Gt ought never to be sort of
singing; but at the same time it means
the giving to essential phrases and words
their proper value, passing lightly here,
and in another place, on the contrary,
laying stress with an infection of the
voice. To recite means to distribute the
plane surfaces and the reliefs, the light
and the shade. In other words, reciting
is modelling.
The phrase which is quite plain and
matter of fact when spoken in ordinary
conversational tone becomes supple and
warm when it is recited; it takes form,
in short, and becomes a thing of art

l have heard a great many things
said in my time against poverty, but
never till the other day, when clever
woman made the suggestion, did it oe-
cur to me that poverty tends to make
a man couceited. Her argument was
as follows: A poor man has to earn
his living, and the mere fact tLat he
does so leads him to think highly of
himself, whereas the rich man, who
lives on the interest of money acquired
originally by an ancestor near or re-
mote. makes no living, is not even GER
tain that he could make one. and con-
sequently remains in humble, or at
least in a modest, state of mind. -Bos-

The Jou,nalist,s Profession.

A famous editor said: II was first
college graduate, then a reporter, and
then an editor; but ought to have been
able to stop after had been two years in
the office and gone back to study inter-
national law, histery and languages; it
would have been worth large capital to
me. A man does NOT find out what he
needs to know until he has been at actual
work in journalism for year or two. y
Probably no profession at the present
time requires a greater combination OF
native tact, with intense application and
wide culture.-M. Maurice, NJ. D., in

The phoebe bird with its CHEEKY pee
wee is already heard in the rural dis
tricts. In folklore the arrival of this
early bird of passage is an omen that hard
frosts are over, and that the farmer may
proceed with confidence to his planting.
Now it is known that they sail north on
a March breeze, endure ice making
weather and have no more relation to
farming than a pewter half dollar has to
trade. As nest builders they exhibit
taste in variation of the style of their
nests and the furnishing materials. The
fiber of bark answers for some of them
to line their nests with, others use moss,
hair OF wool, and one is recorded to have
built nest entirely of corn silk. These
birds have greatly improved their nests
within the memory of man, which sug-
gests that they are guided by reason in
stead of the stupid instinct which is so
often attributed to them. - Norwich

sunshine and Crop Maladies.

An investigating Frenchman proves by
records running back 1870 years that the
destructiveness of diseases affecting the
potato vine and other valuable members
of the vegetable kingdom depends upon
the nebulosity of the sky. In years when
agricultural disasters were greatest there
was a marked lack of sunshine. The
United States is land of sunshine, and
to this may we look, according to the
theory advanced. for the immunity Of
our crops from the maladies which have
utterly destroyed crops in other countries
and caused famines. Cincinnati Com.
