''As to the distinctive features of our

Especial Letter.1

During my stay in Persia, some years
ago, I made some Investigations con-
ceruing that interesting fragment of
the Persian people variously known as
the Parsees, Guebres, fire or sun wor-
shippers The inducement had been
found by sundry facts that had come to
my knowledge. had been told, for in
stance, by every European resident
with whom had conversed on the sub
ject that this remnant Of once pow
erful race was by all odds the most re-
spectacle of the whole nation, that
these men were truthful, Industrious,
very clearly in their habits, absterni-
ous and chaste, honest IN theirdealings,
etc. In short, the general opinion Of
these intelligent and impartial observ-
ers was that the Parsees are, in nearly
every respect, the exact opposite Of the
modern Persfans. In personal inter
course found this opinion fully cor
roborated. / saw THAT everybody who
had Parsee, male or female, in his en-
ploy, was satisfied, whereas the con-
trary wasinvariably true in cases where
an ordinary Persian was the employe.
also learned incidentally SO much
that struck me as extraordinary about
these Parsees that I concluded they
would well repay the trouble of a
special study. was fortunate enough,
too, to make the acquaintance of the
high priest of the Rarsees, and subse-
quently paid him long visit at his
home In Teheran, the Persian capital,
he receiving me both kindly and hos
pitably. The name of this venerable
dignitary Is Manikjee Limjee Harteria.
He is an octogenarian, and of very i'm
pressive appearance, with long, sweep
ing beard of snowy white, noble head
with broad brow, ruddy cheeks and
complexion as fair as that of the aver
age American.
His appearance alone, in fact, showed
him to be of pure Aryan stock, while
the vast majority of the Persian Mos
lens have goodly percentage of Arab,
Turcoman and Tartar blood in their
veins. I win skip the first portion of
the interview had with this ancient
sage and merely repeat his statements
as to the precise nature of his belief and
that of his co-religionists

The managers Of the exposition discovered
very early that they would be compelled
to find . place outside the grounds Of the
saar proper for the many special attrac-
tions.and nuI5psitses whieh were pouring
in from the 4our quarters Of the earth.
They decided TO make the Midway piais-

ties, and to permit the coneessionaries to
charge gate tees therefor the plaisance
has become a series Of side~shows. Ii is
still an open question with many visitors
whether the principal circus, the exposi-
ton proper, or thegias-show Is most inter
essing. Forlone who likes to look upon

reused by tales of the dancing girls, hourf

various villages and halls. 1t is well to
say thss the man Who goes to the plais-
anee hoping to see something "racy'' be-
cause improper or vuIgar via be very
much disappointed. No such displays or
performa1lces are tobe foundt here. Pretty

many Of them dance in the music halls,
but there is no phase afthsir efforts which
one would be unwilling to take his wife or
daughter to see. In truth, the dancing
girl showsis 7ashHr tanain every way.
Much more interesting are the forty
young women whosappear IN what is gem
orally known as the International beauty
show. Technically the affair is called a
display of costumes, the scheme being TO
show visitors the apparel worn by women
In all times and all countries. IL the
women chosen to perform this graceful
task should chance to be pretty enough to
make their assembled beauty an exhfbi-
ton Of the conashness of the women of all
the world, all the stronger would be the
attraction. This clever scheme was worked
up by some yeaag newspaper men, and

they visited Europe, Asia and Africa in
search of beauties and costumes. Their
efforts were successful, and they returned
to Chicago with a carload of women who
are really worth days travel to see.
They are not only handsome women of
many races and types, but they are for the
most part modest and gracious; and apart
from any interest which attaches to their
persons, the costumes which they wear
make an exhibit worthy the study of man
or woman.

somewhat Of a sensation along the plais-

was to promote the sake Of Irish linens and

exhibit she brought over seveteen Irish

The Twitchell- Champlin Company's New
Departure.
The Boston house of the above firm have
started to manufacture cigars in way that
shows confidence in their ability to find an out
let for large quantity of the product, as they
have started with a force of So people, which
seems qnite a crowd for an infant industry.
The most peculiar phase OF this departure is
a sad admission on their part that their COM
petitors had bought up all the really fine Hava-
ma tobacco in the market before they started,
and so they had to be satisfied with what the
others left, and they wish to apologize to the
public in advance for the poor quality of their
leading brands of loo. cigars-Sudbury and B.
&P.
They think, however. it is perhaps just as
well, as the prevailing corner in adjectives
needed to praise the good qualities of other
brands would make it difficult to express them
selves properly if their cigars were good enough
to deserve their uSe
poor they are.-[Portland Argus.
