How They Telegraph in Persia.

Telegraphic communication in Per.
sia is said to work fairly we'll in dry
weather, but in times of rain and damp
it is unfortunately far otherwise.
This arises from the fact that the insu-
lators are not fixed to poles of wood or
iron as with us, but are driven into
trees that have branches growing
round the hooks and touch the wire,
thus intercepting the current. When
large tree is not available q small
one is resorted to, which often breaks,
or the shaking of the slender tree by
the wind dislodges the insulator or
hook on which it Is fixed, and the wire
trails on the ground. II Is no uncomr
mon thing for the wires to be soou

They Can Successfully Run TricycIes with
the Aid of One Person.
There are blind naturalists, blind
historians, blind men of science, blind
musicians, and now blind men have
taken to cycling as means of recrea-
tion. 1t was a strange sight in the
city to see about eighteen of the
students of the Royal normal college
for the blind in upper Norwood leave
the Mansion house upon tricycles on q
visit to Birmingham, where the earl Of
Dudley was to open new institution
for the sightless. The party were
mounted upon tandem machines, four
or i've OF them being linked together
so as to form two PROFESSIONS Of rea-
sonable length: The leader of each
was possessed of the ordinary powers
OF vision, but all the rest were blind.
After paying their respects to the lord
mayor, who greeted them kindly and
wished them safe and happy Journey,
the students merrily set out on their
trip and pedaled themselves along
Cheapside in sprightly fashion. This
is, perhaps, the first time on record
where band of blind persons have
secured the country on cycles Millions
stand and wait" theory is noble
poetry, but it is out of fashion in real
life, so far as concerns the blind.

A River FLOWING Inland.

On the African shore, near the Gulf
OF Alden, and connecting the Lake of
Assal with the main ocean, may be
found one of the most wonderful rivers
in the world. This natural curiosity
IN the shape of q river does not flow to
but from the ocean toward the inland.
The surface Of Lake Assal is nearly
seven hundred feet below the sea level,
and 1t is fed altogether by this para
doxical river, the latter being about
twenty-five miles in length. It is said
to be a wonderful fact that this river

to Oounterbalance the extraordinary

SENATOR STANFoRD's HORSES
The Man who Got His Deserts for Kick
ing One of Them.

The Man who Got His Deserts for Kick
Ing One of Them.
In employing men to work at Palo
Alto the late senator gave them the
most strict orders. They were told,
says the San Francisco Examiner,
never to strike, kick or whip horse,
and his instructions to his men were:
always do thing little better than
anybody else and you will succeed.
When you handle horse treat him a
little better than anyone else. When
you breed horse breed him to a little
better stock each time"
1t was in this way that Stanford rev.
olutionized the horse breeding of the
country. He never allowed one of his
men to ill-use horse, and they knew
1t. There are never noise or blows
around the Palo Alto stables and the
horses are never frightened. To show
his feelings towards his horses, the
late Henry Vrooman once told of an
occurrence when he was dining with
Senator Stanford. Just after the din
ner one of the drivers insisted that he
must see the senator. He was ushered
In, with blood over his face, which was
badly cut. "John knocked me down"
explained the man, referring to one of
the trainers.
What did you do?" asked the sena-
tor.
Nothing" replied the man.
But you must have done something;
l want the truth" persisted the SEN
ator.

me down." sale, the man.

HARD TO SUIT.
An lnvalid's Irritsbility at . Queer OF.
fense.

y
Tense.
A San Francisco man, as reported by
the Call, had been in bed for several
months with malady that made him
very nervous and irritable. His wife
and daughter ministered to him assidu-
ously, but were sometimes at their
wits end in trying to satisfy his capri
cious desires. AS the young lady said
once, her father was $50 unreasonable
that he would scold if an angel were
waiting on him." One night, when
the mother and daughter were both
thoroughly tired out. a young man,
a friend of the family, was called in
to watch with the sick man for six
hours after midnight. The invalid's
wife instructed him about the medi-
cines, and especially cautioned him to
be careful about disturbing the pa
tient.
''He is very irritable" she said.
Don't speak>to him except when he
speaks to you,a il he is asleep when
the time comes for him to take his
medicine, don't disturb him.
"And by the way" she added, as
she was about leaving the room, ''you
may like something to read Here is
Mark Twain's 'Roughing IT. it will
amuse you, but you mustn't laugh while
reading it, for Mr.. i will fancy
you are laughing at him. and will be
very much annoyed"
Ihe young man performed his du-
ties to the best of his ability, but on
going away in the morning was
thanked rather curtly by the invalid.
AS soon as he was gone Mr.. j
broke out.
See here, mother" said he, don't
ever send that numskull to watch
with me again"
"Why, father, what do you meanp
Wasn't he attentive? He didn't 90 to

No, no, no; but / was awake for
two hours, and 1 watched him reading

time. He"

A VISIT TO WATERLOO.
Old Women Still Living the Spot Who

Old Women Still Living on the Spot Who
Saw the Great Battle.
julie Claretie, the administrator of
the Comedie Francaise, paid visit,
shortly before his arrival in London, to
the battlefield of Waterloo, says the
London Daily News. 1t was seventy
eight years ago that the battle was
fought, yet M. Claretie was still able
to CLEAN something in the locality
from actual eye witnesses of that
mighty historic event.
In the little wine-shop called the
Belle Alliance" where wellington
and Blucher, according to an inscrip-
tion, met and saluted after their VIC
tory, he found two old women engaged
in darning stockings. They appeared
to take very little notice of strangers,
but, on being questioned, the elder of
the two declared that she was over
ninety years of age.

day they fought. 1t was just after nv
first communion, and on the day of st.
Donnat, saint in whose honor there
is pilgrimage in the neighborhood.
When all was over we went out and
saw dead bodies everywhere. At night
after the battle there was storm. The
bodies became swollen through the
rain, and there were fears of pesti-
lence. They were buried in heaps,
with dry branches between each layer.

A SENSIBLE ELEPHANT.
1t Soon Detected That the Pump Trough
Was NOt Iavel.


Was Not Level.
In India domesticated elephants are
usually given drink from large wooden
troughs filled with well water by
means of pump, and it is commonly
an elephant that fills this trough.
Every morning he goes regularly to
his task. While visiting friend at
his fine residence in India correspon-
dent of the Manchester Examiner saw
large elephant engaged in pumping
such a trough full of water. He con-
tinues:
''In passing / noticed that one of the
two tree trunks which supported the
trough at either end had rolled from
its place, so the trough, still elevated
at one extremity, would begin to emp
yitself as soon as the water reached
the level of the top at the other end,
which lay on the ground. | stopped
to see if the elephant would discover
anything wrong. Soon the water be.
gan to run off at the end which had
lost its support The animal showed
signs of perplexity when he saw this,
but as the end nearest him lacked
much of being full he continued to
pump. Finally, seeing that the water
continued to pass off, he left the pump
handle and began to consider the phe.
nomenon. He seemed to find it diff.
cult to explain. Three times he re.
turned to his pumping and three
times he examined the trough.

ing to put it in it's place again. But il
was not, as / soon understood, the end
which ran over that disturbed his
mind, but the end which he found i'm.
possible to fill. Raising the trough,
which he then allowed to rest for an
instant on one of his huge feet, he
rolled away the second supporting log
with his trunk and then set the
trough down SO that it rested at both
ends on the ground. He returned to
the pump and completed his task"

was sitting one afternoon on the

Face hotel, Colombo, Ceylon, saws a
writer in Donahue's Magazine. The
roar of the breakers pounding upon the
beach made pleasant music, and in
the translucent emerald brine some
laughing natives were splashing mer-
rily. A light hand touched my shonl-
der, and barefooted Cingalese stood
before me.
"Would you like to buy some stones?"
he asked, in his pleasant voice.
These peddlers of gems are very
numerous in Ceylon and threaten to
become nuisance to the traveller
They are not allowed to enter the ho-
tells, and / once saw one Of them act

bundle of white cloth, which he
opened. displaying about pint of

to the sable merchant that had no
