TELEGRAPHY IN PERSIA.

Telegraphs in Persia are Of a prim.
tive character and the delay in the
transmission Of messages is often ex.
asperating The line worked by the
Persian government between Enielli
and Resht and thence on to Teherra,
works fairly well in dry weather, but
in damp or rainy weather cannot be
depended upon. The reason of this
is that the insulators are sometimes
driven into large trees that have
branches growing round the hooks
aud touch the wire, thus intcrcopting
the current
When large trees are not available
small ones are resorted to, which of.

INSURANCE AND PENSION

"Have you ever been a pensionerF'
is question that now appears on the
printed form of firstclass Insurance
companies among the questions to be
asked of applicants for insurance
The purpose and working of the new
inquiry may be best illustrated in the
following incident related by the Bos-
ton Transcript. A well-to-do business
man, flourishing in health, applied ref
Gently at the office of leading insti-
tuition in Boston for additional life in
surance to the amount of $4,000.
The medical examiner could find
nothing whatever in the condition of
the subject under his hands to indi-
cate the presence Of any disease, past
or present, and supposed that his
company had received promising
new invester until the inquiry, "Have
you ever been a pensioner2' was
reached. At that point the applicant
stammered and admitted that at pres
ent he was drawing, prosperous and
healthy man as he was, a pension of
$12 month. The medical examin-
er drew from him tangled series of
admissions that he had never really
suffered any injury orillness emitting
him to a pension, but he made out
some sort of case of nervous shock
or deterioration, at the instigation of
a pension agent and had taken his
$l2 q month from the United States
government, rich man though he was,
on the principle that "they all do it.
The company refused the risk of in
suring a man who had confesedly lied
and sworn to his falsehoods for the
purpose of securing his pension.
This test has so wide an application
that it now regularly appears on the
printed blanks of all large life insur-
ance companies in the United States.

GIRLS OF THIRTY

The postponing of marriage and
the broader education Of women has
brought into existence class OF
"girls" that did not formerly exist,
namely the class between l8 and 30.
They are bright, educated, capable
women, who are awaiting marriage,
and instead of being given an interest
in life are provided with something
to do, they are launched into society
with the idea that the proper thing to
do is to abandon themselves to the
pursuit of pleasure. One result OF
this is that we have women after mar
rage taking very unkindly to the
necessary slowness of domestic dut
les. They live for thrills, sensations
and excitements. AS these cannot be
obtained they resort to expedlents
which eventually prove fatal to the
real and noble idea of marriage. Tile
upper.class girl is booming a lamenta-
bly, self.indulging ono, who spends the
very prime of her life in the incessant
round of amusement The great class
of cultivated women cannot be held
guiltiness if they evade individual
responsibility and squander the bene-
fits of birth and education on their
own amusement

An Election Illustration,

Representative John j. ONeill is back
with an election story: Just before the
cataclysn," he said, 81 met a Republican
friend from Colorado. He is opposed to
the presidents silver views. Mark my
works, he remarked. Harrison will lose
Colorado and Nevada sure. But he will
be elected-by less votes than last time,
to be sure, but he will get there all right
enough / saw him after the fray,

illustrates my position and Harrison's
position as the story of the man who had
the tooth pulled. Boys he said to his

Uses For Common Salt.

Concerning the usefulness of salt
there is much to be said. 1t is one of
the most effective remedies for many ills.
If used persistently enough, it will cure
nasal catarrh. A weak brine should be
made and snuffed up the nose allowing
it to run down the throat.
One of the most effective remedies
known for sick headache is to place q
pinch of salt on the tongue and allow it
to dissolve slowly. In about 10 minutes
it may be followed by drink of water.
There is nothing better for the relief
Of tired or weak eyes than to battle them
with a strong solution of salt and water,
applied as hot as it can be borne.
Salt is most excellent for cleansing the
teeth. 1t hardens the gums and sweet
ems the breath.
A fresh ink stain on carpet may be
removed by Immediately applying a
layer of salt. The ink will be absorbed,
and when the salt is black it should be
removed and another layer applied, re-
peating the operation until all the ink is
removed
Salt enters into the composition Of a
sure cure for felon. Take common
rock salt and dry it thoroughly in the
oven, pulverize it and mix with an equal
quantity of spirits of turpentine. Keep
a rag saturated with this solution applied
to the affected part for "a hours, and at
the end of that time the felon will have
disappeared.
The colored Japanese straw mattings.
which are SO generally used as floor COW
erings lately, are best kept sweet and
clean by washing them with solution
of salt and water after the weekly sweep
ing.

From a Physicians Standpoint.

A physician of high repute declared
one day last week that if it were in his
power he would pass law that all
women's garments should hang straight
from the shoulders. The Greeks of old,
rs all know, were the very highest types
of manly and womanly beauty, and
very much Of this perfection of form
was attributed to the loose, beautiful
style of dress they wore. A few even
ings later the doctor and his wife at
tended social gathering, and the latter
was attired in straight, falling cos
tune, la Grecque. The effect, says
one who was present, was not beautiful;
it was not even quaint, but peculiar to
a degree. affording another proof that
theories reduced to practice do not al
ways justify the experiment.
