The shah of Persia has Il great affection
for cats and is so fond of them that lie has
some 80 feline favorites which are generally
to be found nhis apartments, aud to which
he has assigned officials and attendants of
their own. They also have their own spe-
cial room where they assemble at certain
hours to have their meals On his summer
excursions they all accompany him, being
carried by special men on horseback in
cages lined with velvet. The favorite of
the lot used to be Il large gray cat called
Babr Khan, which may be translated as
Prince Tiger.
When the shah lunched or dined, Babr
Khan was always always let into the room,
and sometimes his majesty fed the cat with
his own exalted hands. Once, while in
camp, Babr Khan disappeared and was
searched for in vain, a servant who had
made fun of the cat and been heard to re
mark that it was better out of the way
was arrested on suspicion of having caused
the animals disappearance. He was car
ried to Teheran in chains, flung into dun
geon and was never heard of again. Nor
was the cat.--New York Tribune.

main. A real, true knight, one Claude
Razilly, took possession in the name of
King Louis in 1873. RaZilly was lieuten-
ant general of the king, and two lieuten-
ants or sub0rdinates were named to share
the emolumcntS and honors of Acadia with
him These were one D'Aulnay and
Charles de la Tour La Tour meanwhile
had abandoned Cape Sable and built a
fort at the mouth of the river st. John,
where extensive grants had been given in
reward for his forlorn defense Of Acadia
against all the world" D'Aulnay's seat
was at Port Royal, across the bay of Fun
dy, the oldest European settlement in the
region D'Aulnay was blessed with friends
at the Paris court and bitter rivalry soon
took place between the two ChiC.: Both
of them made war upon the Puritan trad
ing posts of Maine, and as result the
Plymouth colOnists were drawn into the
dispute. D'Aulnay wanted La Tours help
in a raid on the English, but his willy rival
refused in the hope that D'Aulnay would

country for good Instead of that. D'Aul-

Almost everywhere in the world, except
in Paris, rats are considered as trouble
some nuisance to be gotten rid of by any
means possible The Parisians on the CON
trary, convert this nuisance into useful
member of society and source of revenue.
In Paris rats are collected from every pos
sible source and placed in great pound,
where the carcasses of all animals dying in
the city are thrown. These remains are
speedily disposed of by the rats, which
leave behind nothing but the clearly picked
bones. There are no such scavengers as
rats. Four times year these rats are
rounded up and killed, and their skins are
utilized in the everywhere admired form OF

Biographies contains any of the curious and
amusing anecdotes about him which have
come down from the time when he lived.
One Of these stories will serve to show
what sort of man Jean Bort was. When he
had made a brilliant record rs a kind Of

ADLER sea warrior than any Of the officers Of
noble birth who commanded the navy,
King Louis XIV made him first "A lieuten-
ant and then the captain of "A frigate, in
which position he greatly distinguished
himself
/ One day, while several elegant courtiers
were waiting in the great monarch's ante
chamber for an interview with the King, a
rather rough looking sailor came in. The
courtiers and attendants were greatly
shocked, but the sailor announced that he
was Jean Bart, and that he had come to
see the king. One of his men, Keyser, had
] been condemned to death for killing man
I in duel, and he was going to ask the king
to pardon him.
But, NJ. le Capitaine," said the attend
ant, have you a royal invitation emitting

The Dream Of Years May Finally BE GIo-

We have constantly deplored the want
OF reliable information regarding Lipp-
mann's process Of obtaining color photo
graphs and the recent notifications and
improvements of Nalenta, Lumicre and
others Tho process has been given and
tho results shown before the recent con-
gress OF tho Photographic society of Great
Britain Mr.. Nurueke describes the proc
ess as follows;
Two years ago Mr.. Lppmann succeed
ed in producing an image of the solar
spectrum in its true colors. This was done
by a gelatino-b bromide plate so weak in
its composition as 20 be almost transpar-
ent. The scnsitiyenoss Of the plate was
increased by immersion in a bath of sill
yer nitrate and drying. The plate was in
serted in the camera, glass side toward the
lens, and the film ia contact with mer-
curry. Tho projected rays OF light were
thus met by the rays reflected from the
mercury and the phenomena of interfer-
ence-upon which the whole process is
based--was produced.
Six examples were shown from nature,
and one from chrome lithograph, reflect
ed on a screen by means OF a beam Of cleo
ton. Although the red was defective
the colors were, without doubt, very sim
liar 20 the natural ones.
Taken as a discovery, this is one OF the
most important Of the nineteenth century,
but there must be many improvements
made before it can be of any practical
utility. The exposure, although now re-
duccd 90 four hours, is so long ns to make
it impossible TO photograph but few sub
jects. Then, ngain, if we desire TO hang
such pictures IN our room, It would be
necessary to have special lighting ar.
rangcmcnt 20 see them by.
Now that the process has been made
public, improvements should follow rapid
ly, and it is not utterly impossible that
tho wild dream Of the photographer, since
