The sbah's Pipe OF State.

Somebody has seen and glorified by
an admiring description the "kal
Ian. " or pipe of state, which the shah
of Persia smokes on high imperial
occasions. 1t is set with diamonds,
rubies and emeralds of the costliest
kind, and is stated to be worth as
much as 9S0,00 Such pipe is pos
sible enough in an eastern palace,
since not only may the mouthpiece
and the upper and lower portion of
the SNAKE" be of pure gold, enam-
eled and set with the finest gems, but
the water bowl and pipe bowl might
be equally splendid and rich with
lavish jewel work.
The shah's pipe of state, however,
is only a trihe to the treasures in pre-
cious stones which his imperial maj
esty possesses in the palace at Tehe-
ran. He has pair of large globes,
terrestrial and sidereal, wrought en-
tirely of jewels upon a gold founda-
ton. The terrestrial globe shows all
the countries of the earth done in
differently colored gems, the seas and
oceans being of sapphires and tur-
quoises. Persia is all made of en-
eralds and England of rubies, Rus
sia of malaohite and agates, and so
on. The sidereal sphere represents
the consultations in diamonds and
brilliants upon ground of dark blue
enamel. London Telegraph.

il was. Instead of asking my wife
the crow would look at the clock
without saying word to her, and
then sail back to the lot and sing it
out to me. When the sky was clear
could tell by the sun within ten
minutes what time it was, and the
crow got 80 that he could guess al
