The Newspapers of Persia.

Recent travellers in Persia find the
newspapers of that land source of per-
ennial amusement There were none
till the shah returned from Europe two
years ago. While in Paris he saw the
cabmen with newspapers in their hands
when idle, and naturally, it is said, at
tributed their general intelligence to
this fact. AS soon as he arrived in Te-
heran he established ministry of the
press, and called upon the mobiles to aid
him in his plans. AS result there are
twelve journals in Persia today. Among
them is the official organ, Iran. To
read them, however, requires consider
able linguistic ability, as they are print
ed in mixture of Turkish, Persian and
Arabic, with French and Russian words
here and there. Sheref, an illustrated
paper in Teheran, contains only por-
traits of Russian and European celeb
rites. When one can read them, how
ever, he finds their grave comments on
western affairs more amusing than the
most labored efforts in Punch or the
Paris comics.

COLUMBUS VOYAGE TO BE REPEATED.
His Caravcls to be Reproduced, Cross
| the Atlantic and be Exhibited,

His CaraveIs to be Reproduced, Cross
the Atlantic and be Exhibited.
When the holding of Worlds Fair be-
came certainty very natural thought
was that every relic OF Columbus that
could be secured would be an interesting
exhibit. In April, 1890, while the special
committee on the Fair, of which Repre-
sentative Gambler, of Massachusetts,, was
chairman, had under consideration the
original bill for the exposition, Mr.. Will
liam E. Curtis. Secretary of the Bureau
of American Republics, made a recon-
mendation to that committee that the
ships comprising the squadron of Colum-
bus be reproduced.
Mr.. Curtis suggested that the thres
caravels be accurately reconstructed and
sent over the course that Columbus sailed
and that, after visiting the islands where
Columbus touched, the vessels be taken
to Chicago for exhibition.
These recommendations were adopted
by the National Commission, and when
the exposition authorities gave Mr..
Curtis charge of the historical collection
for the Fair he proceeded to carry out the
plan.
1t was evident that no satisfactory re-
plicas of the caravels could be built with
out long research and study in Spain.
Even there the authorities were limited
in number, deficient in precision and
often not in accord with each other. To
secure the cooperation of the Spanish
government a special diplomatic agent
was needed, and it was decided to appoint
a naval attache to our legation at Madrid.
After consultation with Rear Admiral
s. B. Luce and Commodore F. M. Ramsay,
chief of the Bureau of Navigation and
Office of Detail, Mr.. Curtis asked for the
detail of Lieut.. William McCarty Little,
United States navy, for duty at our lega-
ton in Madrid, and the Navy Department
complied with his request.
Lieut.. Little is New Yorker, son of
the banker, Jacob Little, who was the
leading spirit in Wall street forty or fifty
years ago. AS linguist and natural
diplomat Lieut.. Little is peculiarly well
fitted for such piece of work, and since
the beginning of this year he has been in
Spain energetically urging forward the
investigation by which the detailed plans
of the caravels were adopted and prepared
for the shipbuilders.
By the exercise of infinite tact and by
unwearying, jealous effort, Lieut.. Little
induced the Spanish Minister of the Navy
to appoint commission Of naval officers
and archeologists to investigate the
questions involved in reconstructing the
three ships of Columbus, and the COM
missioners went to work with enthu-
siasm.

REID's CITY RESIDENCE.

Mr.. Willard was finished" as mil
Ionaire before the house was, and in
1885, for $500, 900, it became the proper
ty and home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Whitelaw
Reid. Their dining room and the smaller
room, known as coffee room, with
doors Of heavy paneled oak, ceiling
spanned by magnificent cross beams,
delicately carved panels and magnif-
cent fireplace, are the admiration of
aesthetic New York. The library is also
noted for its artistic beauty. Mrs. Reid is
more devoted to her husband and home
than to society, but has shown her social
capacity in France, and is a fitting
hostess for the New York palace.

of the Old World. It stands upon a
commanding point in Westchester coun-
ty, N. Y, overlooking Long Island
sound and vast region eastward and
westward. The place as whole is not
excelled as a country seat in America,
and Mr.. Holiday, in memory of his
western career, named it Ophir Farm.
He was reared in a cabin, lived to be
many times a millionaire and to see both
his daughters countesses then lost his
wealth and consequently his lovely es-
tate.
John Roach, the famous shipbuilder,
became the owner and he, too, sue
cumbed. His son Garrett became NOM
inal owner and soon died. Then Mr..
Reid bought it, but the ''hoodoo," as
our colored friends say, still shore
down." and in 1888 the mansion was de-
stroyed by fire. A new and more i'm
posing mansion has risen on it's ruins.
Mr.. Reds residence in New York city
is widely noted, and a complete descrip-
ton would fill many columns like this.
It is the famous "Italian palace" de-
signed by Henry Willard some ten years
ago, and stands at the corner of Fiftieth
street and Madison avenue, directly
facing the famous Catholic cathedral.
The location is in the very heart of high
toned New York, in the central section
of the creme de la creme. The plan, as
drawn by Mr.. Stanford White, was for
a structure consisting Of three wings,
having the form Of square with one
side open. The plan was slightly modi-
fed by Mr.. Willard, SO the style is now
spoken of as that of "the italian Renais-
sance somewhat AmericaniZed."

A Valuable OPAL.

The most famous opal Of history was
that which was worn in ring by Non
Jus, the Roman senator, in the days of
the triumvirate. In size it was scarcely
larger than the average hazelnut, yet its
beauty was such as to render it the mar
vel of its time. The "money changers
and goldsmiths of Rome set its value
down st 81, 100000. Mark Antony made
overtures for it's purchase, intending, it
is believed, to present it to Cleopatra.
Upon the death of Nonius history loses
all trace of it, there being no record of
its transfer from him to any member Of
his family

THE SANTA MARIA.

THE SANTA MARIA
They found few authentic records that
gave many useful facts, and-what was
worse-what records they did find did not
always agree. Lieut.. Little took up the
broken threads of history, tradition and
guesswork and sought to twist them into
@ towline strong enough to draw the COM
mission to common anchorage It was
weary task, for every detail of build,
rig, armament and equipment had to, be
fought over until an agreement was
reached.
1t was not till very recently that the
plans were completed to the satisfaction
OF all the people involved In the quest.
These plans were reduced to working
drawings, and from them the caravel
builders are to work in reproducing the
little squadron of Columbus.
The original expectation was that the
Spanish government would build all three
of the caravels as part of its fair exhibit,
but the depleted condition of spain's
treasury has made it impossible for that
country to reproduce more than one. Ac-
cordingly, Spain will provide the Santa
Maria, while it is expected that the United
States will bear the expense of building
the Pinta and the Nina.
If the money be appropriated by Con-
gress all three of the ships will be finished
in time to leave Palos on the Sd of next
August, exactly 400 years after the great
discoverer's departure from that port.
While they could, doubtless, be navigated
across the Atlantic to- day with safety.
and in less time than was taken by
Columbus in 1892, it has been thought
best to have them hoisted on board a
Spanish man-of-war, which will then
transport them from Palos to Havana.
Cuba. On their arrival In Havana they
will be put afoat and will work up to
New York under their own canvass, en-
tering this harbor October IL.
Here they will remain long enough for
every one to see them, and thew will
then continue their journey to Chicago.
By removing their masts the Pinta and
the Nina can be navigated through the
Erie Canal, and that will be the route the
two smaller caravels will take. They will
make frequent stops on the way to permit
people to examine them, and at Buffalo
they will go around by way of the st,
Lawrence River and the WelIand Canal.
From Buffalo to Chicago they will prob.
ably be towed just fast enough to make
the trip before the close of navigation.
In Chicago they will be one of the most
interesting exhibits. They will be fitted
out in every particular exactly as were
their prototypes four hundred years ago,
and will have on board Spanish sailors
dressed in the sailors garb of that day.
Mr.. Curtis has secured two items of the
original outfit of the Santa MARIAN an
Choir and a gun. He also hopes to be able
to get another of her anchors, but as the
owner holds it at price about equal to its
weight in gold, this second anchor NAV
be omitted from the new Santa Maria's
equipment.
After the close of the Chicago Fair the
caravels will be brought East and taken
to Washington. A mooring place in the
Potomac has already been selected, and
they will there remain as a permanent
show until they fall to pieces.

COOPERATIVE cREAMERIEs.
An Enormous Amount of Labor Savei
When They Are Successful,

An Enormous Amount of Labor Saved
When They Are Successful.
The cooperative system must continue
to grow in magnitude until large por-
donof&all the milk produced is worked
up at central points. Capitalization is
the erderaof the day, and nowhere is it
more evident than in dairying. There
will be some increase in the system
where private dairymen supply indi-
vidual customers with butter, but there
is a limit in this direction, while for the
factory system see none.
The bringing together of the milk
from off hundred farms to one central
point means that a hundred farmers
wives are relieved from irksome labor,
andin place Of a hundred kinds of but
ter in as many style packages, each pay
ing heavy express charges, there is one
tof uniform quality, shipped at low
rates in the refrigerator car. In the
creamery see the saving of an enor-
nous amount Of energy on the farm
which will be set free and utilized in
the direction Of better dairy farms,
pleasanter homes and improved social
conditions.
Who shall control the creameriesa
Upon this important question I have ar
rived at no definite conclusions. There
is a natural desire among farmers in
these days to control their own business,
and who can blame them for it? The
farmers occupation in a measure pre-
vents him from being careful, shrewd
business man in the usual sense Of that
term. His work is to produce rather
than to barter. In consequence of the
desire among farmers to manage their
own business, we have seen scores and
hundreds of cooperative creameries
spring up in the west. Because of en-
nifty, jealousy and lack of business ca
pacity we have seen large per cent. of
these factories become bankrupt and
pass into other hands.
If our farmers would only have more
patience with each other, and would put
the same energy to work along business
lines thatis now given over to neighbor-
hood quarrels, cooperative factories
would rule the day. Here and there we
find cooperative factories successfully
managed which stand as monuments Of
neighborhood good feeling and brotherly
confidence. May their number rapidly
acrease.-Professor Henry.

By a Woman's Hair,

You may tell woman's character by
her hair. Fine hair indicates one of gem
tie and amiable traits. Brown hair shows
common sense. The straighter and less
yielding the hair the frrner and more
positive is the woman's nature. Treach-
cry and jealousy hide beneath lusterless
or dead black hair nine cases out of ten.
The lighter colored the hair the more
" touchy" is the owner.

A Man who Makes Them Pay on Glover

April 10, 1891, bought forty head of
hogs, paying SLIT for the bunch, or
$2.925 per head. They averaged ninety
pound per head; that made them cost
me $685. per 100 pounds. These hogs
put after bunch of cattle and they
staid with them until May II, 1891,
when I put the cattle on grass.
I fed the hogs twelve barrels of corn
at So per barrel during the month Of
May and up to June 90; then I contract
ed them for $5.25 per 100 pounds to be
delivered July 10. Thus, you see, had
twenty days to feed them and corn
could not buy, SO I went to town and
got 1900 pounds of oilmeal which cost
$24, 1000 pounds of bran which cost SIS,
LOCO pounds of shipstuff which cost
$3.50, a total cost of $3.50. put my
hogs (which had been in a woods pas
ture) in a clover field, and not very good
clover at the best, and they then weighed
13o pounds per head. began feeding
twice day on a mixture of oilmeal,
pran and SnlpSbuH wei up just enough
for them to eat it well, and kept it up
until the day to deliver. Then had 200
pounds of oilneal, 100 pounds of bran
and $50 pounds of shipst@f left. The
hogs averaged, on July 10, 1888 pounds,
and brought me $3.50 per head, or
$375.79, as two of them had died in the
feed lot. The figures are these:

These hogs at only five cents per

$13S.70; and at $3.50 per 100 pounds

would have left profit of $96-9S. Now
