A STRANGE PICTURE OF PERSIA.
The Peculiar Conditions That Obtain In
the Land of the shah.

An article published in The Nouvelle Re
vue 10y Achmed Bey gives an unattractive
picture Of the conditions eXtant in modern
Persia IL u, perhaps, well for Monies
quieu, the brilliant author Of "Lettres Per-
sanes,' that he II no longer among the liv-
ing. The story told by the hey would be
painful reading to the Frenchman. who
pictured the land Of the shah as a Utopia
of freedom and happiness. Achmed makes
II land Of slavery, despotism and bri-
berry.
"All the ills suffered by Persia, " says the
writer, 'its division. its degradation by
foreign powers, the destruction Of its com.
merce, of its industry and its art, have
been caused by the neglect and evils Of its
government. The hakims Of the provinces
are usually members Of the ruling family;
they have nothing to do and have no rela-
tons with the people. The real governors,
or statthalters, the pishkars, are all In all
tax collectors, judges and executive officers.
Hakims and pishkars purchase their Offices
They turn with we'll filled purses to the
heavenly court Of the shah, who prouecte
the fishes in the water and the stars of heav.
en-. He who offers the most becomes staff
halter. But outside of the shah there are
also other important personages in Tehe-
ran-eunuchs and ministers-who demand
their share The statthalters receive no
salaries, and, despite this, are Obliged to
make yearly presents to the ruler and min.
listers, Who pays for them it is easy to sur.
mise. If no other way will do, the houses,
property and clothing Of the subjects are
sold.
AS to the ministers, they are numerous,
but their duties are light. One is minister
OF rOadways and communication, of which
there is none in Persia; another is the dis
tinguished minister Of royal photography;
third calls himself minister OF museums'
There is, in fact, minister Of electric APP
paratus.' As a matter of course, all these
great men demand presents, and a court Of
sycophants, for which the people pay, sur
rounds them. There are no judges in Per
STA. Matters in dispute are settled by the
molla, and the scales Of Justice always in
cline toward the side where the money is
The so called army includes generals, colo
nels and soldiers. The latter wear no shoes
and nourish themselves as well as they can
from booty. The office of army commander
is also to be had for money. Thus terri.
BILE anarchy reigns in the land. The Per
slams emigrate in masses 10 find homes
abroad. They do well to do so. Now and
then there are revolutions Under the pres
ent ruler there have been no less than 30.
They were suppressed, and their leaders
were killed in cruel manner. But the Per
sian people, who possess good and praise
worthy qualities, have not spoken their last
word"

The Corsican loves not work, neither Is
he greedy for gold, but he is ambitious, an
eager politician, keenly DESTROYS Of place
and power, of anything, In short, that may
set him above his fellow men. The word
politician" however, must be understood
in local sense. The questions that aai-
tate the continent have small concern for
him. His politics begin and end with the
triumph or ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF his clan.
The chief of n clan has no sinecure. He Is
expected on ali occasions to exert himself
for the interests Of his clients.
II an adherent wishes for post, 1t is the
duty Of the chief to obtain It for him; IL he
has incurred some fine or penalty, the chief
must use his influence to get il RENTED.

be a republican today, he may turn mon.
archist tomorrow, but II will make no diff
ference in their allegiance, nor will he lose
n single follower thereby. 1t is an under
stood thing that what he has done be has
done for the good of the clan, and as in
former times they would have followed
him to the battle SO they will follow him to

Yellow Dog Money.

AT one time the Mississippi valley was
flooded with bills ON which was stamped
the figure of a big hound, and which were
universally known as yellow dog money"
The captain of a steamboat was trying TO
work off some OF the stuff In exchange for
wood. As he came to one wharf after an
other ON his way up he called out:
Take yaller dog for woodi"
For substance the answer was always the
same, though the form varied. Nobody
wanted "yaller dog"
At last, however, the captain received an
Affirmative reply. He steamed up TO the
wharf at once, but Just US the line was be-
ing cast off he bethought himself TO ask
another question.
How do you take iti" said he
Cord for cord" was the answer.-Bos-

The Women Of AIaooio.

The women OF Ajaccio, the capital of Cor
sica, where Napoleon i was born, wear
bright hued prints and a characteristic
shady Hat straw hat that looks like an in
verted plate. This, however, is often dis
carded for handkerchief tied under the
chin. Wonderful TO see is the ease and Sc
curity with which they poise upon their
heads heavy jars Of earthenware and brass
full OF water from the fountains They
carry all burdens on their heads.-New
