On January II, 1858, Paris was thrown
into whirl of excitement by the at
tempt of orsini and his companions to
take the life of Napoleon III. The con-
spiracy of which this was the culmina-
tion was carefully planned. A manu-
facturer in Birmingham, England. was
induced to make six missiles of a pecu-
liar shape. Each was oval in form. and
provided with twenty-five nipples near
one end, with percussion caps to fit
them. The greatest weight was at the
end on which the caps were. Conse-

Persian Nation as If it were COMPLETELY

behind Europe in manners, customs and
IDEAS such a false impression of the

rance, and fear also to insular preiu-
dice. Persia has not progressed as Eu-
rope has done, but Persian civilization
and Persian art had reached a hirh de-

covered with tangled forests and its in
habltants were half-clothed savages,
whose highest skill was shown in the
slaughter of wild animals with the
rudest of weapons. Persian civilization

lite etiquette is as strictly observed as
In any country in the world, and though,
In some trifies, the manners of a Persian
gentleman may appear strange and even
amusing when observed in the
West, IL is safe to saw
that nothing which Per-
sian gentleman would be likely to do
when mixing in Western society would
in any way shock the delicate feelings
of that society. In this respect it is
fortunate that the recent iourneying of
the Shah and his suite were sufficiently
extended to give a practical and wide
spread contradiction TO the numerous
absurd stories which had been cur
rent concerning the disagreeable pc
culiarities of Persian manners and Gus
toms.
As regards habits of personal cleanli-
ness, on which Englishmen so greatly
pride themselves, it may astonish many
of my readers to learn that the Per-
slams, with considerable reason. consider
themselves far superior to any Westerns
in this respect. j will only mention, as
an instance, that the Persian considers
that to remain sitting in a small bath
and to commence and complete ablu-
tons in the same water is far from a
cleanly habit, and it is one which is
never practiced in the heated baths
which the native frequents with such
pleasure in Persia. and which he greatly
misses when travelling in the West

Not Carried on in the Half-Hearted Fashion
of Our Degenerate Day.
1t seems that Bismarck did his courtinc
as the Irishman played the fddle-by main
strength. The following story is told of this
tender passage in the life of the Iron
Chancellor by the st. Louis Republic: On
journey into the Hartz Mountains with the
Blacllenburg family he fell in love with
Fraulein Won Pullkammer, who was of the
party, and whom he had first met at the
wedding of his friend. Won Blackenburg;
but he never made her acq TAINTED with his
sentiments. On his return from the Journey
he wrote direct to the young lady's parents,
with whom he was not acquainted, and de-
manded their daughter in marriage. The
good people were rather frightened at
Bismarck's reputation for high living, but
their daughter having intimated discreetly
that she did not regard the young gentleman
unfavorably they decided not to hurry
matters nor take anv decided step in one
direction or the other. So they wrote
Bismarck, inviting him to come and see
them.
The parents met him with an air of great
solenlnity and the yorng lady stood with
eyes modestly bent on the ground when Bis
marck, on alightiDg, threw his arms around
his sweetheart's neck and embraced her Wig
orously before anyone had time to demur,
The result was an immediate betrothal.
Prince Bismarck is fond of telling the
story. and he is careful to finish it with this
reflection: "And you have no idea what
this lady has made of me-

| dragons, grifins or other equally wondrous
creations; the air teens with savage birds
and spirits of awful presence and super
natural powers; the waters have also their
share of mysterious and fearful monsters,
and our latter-day man sets aside these
curious ideas of his predecessors as being
worthy only OF the belief of children, and
once more resolves that early man was
fool. Ard perhaps the modern individual
is not right in this case.
1t is almost certain that if some of our
modern men were permitted to look upon
living, breathing specimens of some of the
creatures that are now eXtinct-as far as we
know-they would more than likely be of
the opinion that the story teller of olden
times did not deal so niggardly with the
truth as was at first thought. We have no
positive evidence that man was in existence
on this earth when such creatures as
the archaeopteryx and amphorhynchus
hourished on it, but the common belief is
that he did, and if SO we have no just reason
Tor surprise at his notions concerning these
creatures
HALF REPTILE, HALF BIRD.
I do not know whether it would be proper
to call the ancient observer of winged things
an ornithologist, inasmuch as the creatures
he studied were as often reptiles as BIRDS
and generally as far removed from the bird
life as we understand it as a COW from a
snail, but, no matter what he might be
called, let US fancy ourselves one of his
kind engaged in taking notes at some point
in the vicinity of prehistoric Pittsburg.
Probably the contour of the Landscape
was not the same; the hills may not nave
had the same forms, and the rivers we know
may have been parts of the immense inland
sea which at one time covered the entire
Mississippi valley.
On a rock overlooking the water is poised
a bird, resembling as it stands the cormor-
ant of the present, but in that one respect
the resemblance ends, for in the first place
this bird is fully three feet high. Its body
is covered with a fine d9wny growth, which
develops into fully formed feathers in the
tail only. 1t has long neck surmounted
by head not unlike that OF a goose, but
the jaws are lined with
STRONG, SHARP TEETH.
It's wings-if we may cali them such-are |
small affairs, mere suggestions, in fact, and |
we would know without question that this |
creature does not fly. On the other hand,

A LIVING PARACHUTE.

Now, from height near at hand a Great
ure about the size of a crow is seen to pre-
clpitate itself in slantlng flight to the EDGE
OF the water, where it captures a small
marine animal which is speedily devoured.
Ihe Hight OF the newcomer in reaching the
level is something after the manner in which
aparachute would fall in moderate gale
OF wind. This creature is the strange reptile
known as the phorhynchus.
Inc comparison of its manner of flyinp
with the action of parachute gives as near
the correct idea as pages of printed matter
could convey. The reptile was not really
adapted to flying, as some authorities would
have us believe. 1t was simply aided by a
curious pair of wings formed of the mem
brane connecting long fingers with the BODY.
which arrangement can be best understood
by reference to the cut accompanying this
article. When these wings were spread
they formed natural parachute which had
only staying effect on the creatures rapid
tall to earth when it threw itself on its prey
from its lair in the cliffs. The ramphorhvn-
chus was also the proud possessor of a tail
almost the length of its body, which on
level was dragged after it.
WEREN'T ALL UGLY.
But If those creatures so far mentioned
are ungainly, now comes several which are
the reverse. They are in the air, and their
flight is as rapid and as light and graceful
as any seagull of our day. AS they 20 bv
