ANECDOTE OF JAY GOULD.

He Was = Newspaper Correspondents ~
Well rs Surveyor.
The papers of late have been we'll
filed with all sorts Of talk, some true
and some false, about jay Gould and
family. Old John Gould, of Roxbury,
jays father, is spoken of as very poor.
which, according to the Detroit Free
Press, is not true. He was sturdy,
well-read, intelligent farmer, in good
circumstances. At the time of the
anti-rent war in the county he stood up
boldly for the laws until better ones
could be made. When ordered by the
Big Thunder not to have the dinner
horn blown to cali the men to meals he
went right on as usual. One day the
horn was blown and in less than an
hour body of disguised men appeared
to call him to account, Big Thunder in
command. He told him his family
would do as they pleased, and he was
threatened. Jay stood by and said:
~ know who you are, Big Thunder;
you are Dan Squires, and you dare not
kill my father" Here is the keynote
to the whole career Of Jay Gould-an
independent audacity that never failed
him. When mapping the county and
making mp his history Of Delaware
county he was = correspondent for the
Franklin Visitor, and its prospectua was
published in the history in full. His
letters to the Visitor were always spicy
and interesting and were kept up until
he built the tannery in Wayne county.
He then advised me to ask his sister
Betty to write for the paper. and I
found her one Of the best correspond
ents i ever had. She became Mrs. DR..
Palen, of q well-known medical firm of
Philadelphia, and has her home in Cam
den, N. j., opposite that city.

had often met her, this pale nymph
of the sidewalk, and oftentimes when
the electric light fell full upon her face
she had seemed so frail and white that
my imagination had pictured her to be
some ghostly visitant of the great city,
coming back with a morbid pleasure to
the haunts of her wretched life in the
same way as we visit places where we
have wept our bittercst tears. A
strange vigor seemed to animate that
frail form, for it sped swiftly along,
and often, when | had resolved to fol-
low it, fitted from my sight as II it had
dissolved into the heavy, murlsy atmos-
phere and become very part OF the
great city's unwholesome breath, says
a writer in the New York Mercury.
One night the pale nymph suddenly
turned and entered n drug store, where
/ happened to be acquainted. ! waited
until she had taken her leave and then
made haste to ask the clerk who she
was.
"An arsenic eater" he replied in a
nonchalant tone. "The name on her
prescription is Mrs. Devere,' but no

scription, which, by the way, bears the
signature of one of our well-known
physicians.
EYES," continued the drug clerk with
simulated sigh, "there are many such;
they grow whittier and whittier until /
seem to be playing the hollow mockery
of dispensing death-dealing drug to
death itself And then they don't come
any more.
"You ask me if don't think am do
ing wrong to sell such virulent poison
to this woman. Well, possibly SO, and
yet by coming to us she prolongs her
life, for if we refused to fill the prescrip-
ton she would simply have resource to

earth as a skin beautifier, yet that is
not what this woman is after She uses
it as nerve tonic-it being one of the
strongest known to the medical faculty.
Interested in this woman, are you?
Well, my advice to you is not let your
imagination encircle her head with
what is called the halo of romance. She
is just plain arsenic eater, which
drug she probably uses to get relief
from some nervous ailment Of the ma

PERSIA IN A BAD WAY.
The Shah Now Under the Control Of .
Priestly Oligarchy.

The Shah Now Under the Control OF .
Priestly Oligarchy.
The internal affairs of Persia seem to
be proceeding steadily from bad to
worse. A correspondent of the London
Times, who declares that he has the
highest authority for his statements,
writes: The priestly caste, which has
always enjoyed greater authority in
Persia than in Mussulman countries of
the Sunni persuasion, although hum
bled by the present ruling dynasty,
has exploited to the utmost the prevail
ing discomfort for the furtherance Of
its own ends and the revival of its own
prestige. Mahdist doctrines. e., the
belief in the speedy advent to the
twelfth Imam, who is to sweep the un-
believers off the face Of the earth-have
always had strong hold upon Shiite
Mohammedans During the last Muhar-
rem festivals the priesthood announced
in many mosques t.tat mahdi and
savior unto Persia had risen at Samara,
near Bagdad, in the person of Mollah
Hajji Mira Hassan Shirazi, and that
he was predestined to rule over the
land. This ominous announcement was
rendered still more significant by the
omission of the khutbeh, the prayer for
the shah, which throughout Islam is the
most ancient and sacred privilege of
royalty. These incidents acquire all the
more gravity that the shah feels him.
self helpless to cope with the impend-
ing crisis. Treachery is rampant with
in the palace itself and the shahs third
son, Prince Naib- -Sultaneh, who is at
the same time minister of war, is known
to be in secret sympathy with the NAL
content leaders. 1t is no exaggeration
to say that the shah rules in little more
than name, and, as it were, on suffer-
ance. The power, both in the capital
and the provinces, almost throughout
his empire, has passed out of his hands
into those of the priestly oligarchy,
who are the masters of the situation.
The grand vizier himself-Emin-es-Su
tan-has been compelled to enter into
secret negotiations with the most infiu-
ential OF these holy agitators, NOLAN
Mira Hassan Ashtiany, in the hope,
it is alleged, of persuading him
that the deposition of the shah would
involve the occupation and possible par
tition of the last great shah kingdom
by the very Europeans whose presence
is 20 losthful to every right-thinking
Mussulman."

flowers in its hands, but as compensa-
ton, perhaps-and the thing is doubt
less more to the point--it has money
and little red books. The everlasting
shuttle, in the piazza, of these irrespon-

in the wide vestibule of the square that
the polyglot pilgrims gather most
densely; Piazza San Marco is like the

Looked Pretty, But 1t Cannot Have
Tasted Any Too Well.
1t was the custom at one time in Ven
ice, according to the Boston Globe, to
gild the rolls of bread and the oysters
on the supper table. The candles were
also coated with gold. We read of din
ners of state which lasted four hours.
In 1862 the Patriarch of Aquileia
feted Ranuccio Farnese. the popes
nephew, in his palace on the Giudecca.
The rooms were decked with extraor-
dinary sumptuousness; cloth of gold,
paintings and illuminations adding to
the effect produced by the patriarch's
cooks.
Among the guests were twelve gen.
tlemen in fancy marine costume of
green satin with red lining, wearing
caps Of the same colors, and each ac-
companied by ladies dressed in white.
This repast also lasted four hours,
varied by music and the professional
entertainers of the day. 1t ended with
the cutting up Of certain large pies,
from which live birds few out into the
room. The guests strove with each
other to catch those birds.
But, perhaps, the most expensive
banquet ever given in Venice was that
to Henry ILL.,, of France. He was feast
ed in the great hall of the Doge's palace,
and there were silver plates for three
thousand guests.
At another time the same monarch
was entertained at a sugar banquet; the
napkins, plates, knives, forks and even
the bread (so-called) were all of sugar.
The Vcnetians were nightly pleased
when Henry took his napkin in his
hands, and, to his surprise, found that
it broke to pieces.
At least one thousand two hundred
and sixty different dishes were served,
and three hundred sugar efhgies were
distributed among the ladies.

WHY WOMEN ARE NOT BALD.

Natural Selection Protects Them from
the Prevailing Tendency.
If the unsatisfactory statistics that
have been able to collect can be relied
on, the proportion of badness in boys
and girls under twenty is about eighty
to seven, says Miss e. r. Andrews in
the Popular Science Monthly. As the
majority of girls at the age under consid-
Grafton wear their hair loose, or in SIM
pie Marguerite" braids, so that there
is little likelihood of deception, while
unwholesome headgear or other indi-
vidual practices can hardly, as yet, have
had time to produce any material effect
upon either sex, we may regard the diff
ference indicated by the figures as prac-
tically due to the working Of heredity
alone.
Now, there is no apparent reason why
girls should not inherit a tendency to
badness as well as boys, unless that
tendency II checked by some other fac
tor. Such factor Is sexual selection;
for presume it is hardly necessary to
argue here that bald-headed woman
would not stand much chance of "sur-
vival" in the struggle for matrimonial
honors. As men have always practi-
cally done the selecting" and will
probably continue to do so more and
more as the conditions Of modern life
render the competition for husbands
more severe, the woman's voice in the
matter, when she has any, being limit
ed to a simple negative, it is not likely
that the state of badness to which the
human race is said to be tending will
ever affect the feminine half of it.

FEAR THAT LIFTS THE HAIR.
Numerous References to This Peculiar Ef-
foot by Old Writers.

t6Ct Dy Ol0 Wrlteres
When the teller of a panther story
wishes you to understand that the hero
or victim was badly scared he AYERS
that his hair rose, or raised" or "riz,"
or stood on end, or lifted his hat, says
Forest and Stream.
The notion-if it be notion-that
fright caused by panther or by some
thing else. lifts the hair is certainly an
old one and venerable for its antiquity.
hoary with age.
Job iv., 14-15 reads:
Fear came upon me, and trembling, which
made all my bones to shake. Then a spirit
passed before my face; the hal. of my flesh
stood up
Does not Virgil make his hero's hair
stand on end in that vox faucibus hoeset
passage? Thus Conington's transla-
ton:
While thus in agony pressed
From house to house the endless quest,
The pale sad specter Of my wife
Confronts me, larger than in life.
I stood appalled,, my hair erect
And fear my tongue tied utterauces checked
We have Macbeth's testimony:
why do yield to that suggestion
Whose horrid image doth unflx my hair
And make my seated heart knock at my ribs,
Against the use Of natures
And says the ghost in Hamlet:
could tale unfold, whose lightest word
Would harrow up thy soul; freeze thy young
blood
Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their
spheres:
Thy knotted and combined locks to part,
And each particular hair to stand on end
Like quills upon the fretful porcupine.
No doubt thousand and one in
stances of rising of hair might be cited
from literature. ancient and modern,
from the book of job to this day.
But does fright raise the hair? The
scientific authorities assure us that the
hair-raising belief is a notion without a
substantial basis, in fact; but the au.
thors of text books, presumably, have
never had an opportunity to note just
what does happen to q mans hair when
he encounters panther.
