A recent traveller in India gives the
following description OF flower worship
as practiced by the Persians In Bonn
bay. A true Persian. In lowing robe
OF blue. and on his head sheepskln
hat-black. glossy. curly. the fleece OF
kar-Kal-would saunter In and stand
and mediate over every hower he saw,
and always as Ii half in vision. And
when the vision was fulfilled, and the
Ideal flower he was seeking found, he
would spread his mat and sit before IL
until the setting OF the sun. aud then
fold up his mat AGAIN and 90 homo.
And the next night. and night after
night, until that particular flower faded
away. he would return To IL and bring
his friends In eyer-increasing troops
TO IL. and sit and play the guitar or
flute before II. and they would all to-
gethcr pray there. and after prayer still
sit before IL. slipping sherbet and talk
Ing the most hilarious and shocking
scandal late into the moonlight aud so
again every evening until the flower
died. Sometimes by way OF n grand
finale. the whole company would sud-
denly arise before the flower and sere-
made IL together with an ode from
Hahz and depart. --Cassell's Journal.

About Saving Pennies.


Imet woman on the street not long ago
1t was raining, and there was clustering wind
abroad that made progress a difficult thing.
"Going to the train Pr asked 1.
II wish l was" said she. but l expect
shall lose it. 1 have to go around for my
sugar."
'Wby don't you get your sugar in the store
you pass on your way to the depot?" queried l.
"Oh, / can get it half a cent cheaper at So
and Sos" replied she.
1 passed on, musing. If that woman buys
ten pounds of sugar. thought !, she will save
five cents, but she will lose her train, get late
supper, and perhaps contract acute Indigestion.
She will certainly wear out an extra cents
worth of shoe leather, and she will get wet and
lose her temper with the buffeting of the wind.
Is it true economy to take such course
Would it not be better to let the five cents go,
and cancel it with the gain in peace of mind
and general comfort?
Don't YOU know that there are hosts of peo-
pie who manage in this same way? They will
chase all over the earth to save penny, and
get poor bargain at last. They are always
hunting auctions and cheap stores for special
sales. Such people tire me easily. They are
very uncompromising in their disapproval of
you and of me because we prefer to pay penny
or two more pound for sugar and save our
poor old bones, and they think us extravagant
because we are too wise to seek to buy dollar
value for dime. In the long run sometimes
think the weasel knows more than the owl,
although it may appear less wise on first and
casual nspectiOn.-EJchqnge.

Dead-Letter ONCE Statistics.

The persons who make mistakes in directing
letters or who send letters to fictitious addresses
are apparently legion, according to recent re-
port from the Dead-Letter Office. In the last
year 5000, 900 pieces of mail matter were sent
to the Dead Letter Office at Washington. Four
hundred and ffty-one thousand letters were
misdirected or only partially addressed; "a, 900
envelopes were entirely blank, containing no
address at all. One hundred and sixty-fve
letters were addressed to persons in care of
hotels, who had departed without leaving their
address or forwarding orders. Forty-two
thousand were sent to fictitious addresses, and
were principally letters concerning green goods
or sawdust swindles. A large proportion of
the packages received at the Dead-Letter Office
was made up of those upon which the required
amount of postage had not been placed.
Twenty-eight thousand letters and packages
contained money amounting to S48,642, and
1900 contained drafts and checks, notes, and
commercial paper worth in the aggregate ST.,
All, 81. Eleven thousand had lottery tickets
within the envelopes. The department re-
commends to correspondents to write the full
name Of the state to which a letter or package
is to be sent, and in the case of packages to add
the senders name, while Gale is taken as to the
proper postage.
