THE public schools commenced

allow the pupils to go home to din

tentlon to the fact that most of the
people of Johnson City fix their
dinner hour by the foundry whistle,
which blows for dinner at eleven
o'clock. AT IL o'clock the whistle
blows to return to work. 1t is easy
to see how inconvenient it is fol
most people to have the children
coming to dinner after the others

williams Hunting Garb.

When the German emperor goes
hunting, he arrays himself in such
gorgeousness that the game ought to
be proud to fall before so magnificent
a conqueror. His hunting costume
was designed by himself, and he is
said to be so much taken with it that
he omits no opportunity of wearing
it. 1t consists of blush gray tunic,
with a short cloak of the same ma
te1ial, both garments having green
facings and broad epaulets. Tho
emperor has round his waist broad
belt of green leather, from which
hangs huge hunting knife, the
handle mounted with the imperial
crown of gold. He wears very high
lacquered boots, gold spurs and a Ty-
rolese hat of gray felt, edged with
green and adorned with an enormous
plume of feathers, which quivers at
every step.-Berlin Correspondent.

Marriage.
The object of our expedition was
archaeological research. There were
two members of the party not pres
emit by reason of any scientific zeal
One was the physician of the party,
the other myself.
When Susa was reached. the main
party turned back, but the doctor and
myself concluded to continue alone
We were so well pleased with the
novelty of our prospective trip that
we decided to take photographs of
such mounds, ruins and inscriptions
as came under our observation and
present them to a scientific society
on our return home.
We were joined by Sheik Moham-
med Taher, a willy chief, with plac-
id content in his own vast superior
ity over other mortals that was very
amusing. Occasionally he would
'thaw out" and impart some of his
superior wisdom to us. One evening
we were on the terrace of the house.
Looking at the full moon as it rose
over the distant mountains, he said
pityingly:
Il suppose you don't know why
the moon is not always as brilliant
or as large as it Is tonightl"
The doctor murmured something
about having some vague notion on
the subject, but that he would be
glad to be put on the right track.
In the beginning" began he ma
iestically, the sun and moon were
equally bright. God created the
world and then had the angel Gabriel
flap his wings against the earth and
put its light out, and now the angel
holds his wing before the face of the
moon and sometimes hides it en-
tirely.'
That's interesting" remarked
encouragingly. Tell us some more. $"
Sheik Mohammed was f1attered and
asked if we knew the cause of the
darkness of the night We expressed
our desire to learn the truth, what
ever our previous opinions had been.
In the evening" said Mohammed,
the angels bring the darkness from
the seven depths and carry the sun
to the seventh heaven to rest. In
the morning the sun is awakened by
the angels and brought down to
shine upon the earth again"
After remaining some time with
this interesting specimen, we contin-
ued our journey inland, and on our
arrival at Kaleh-y-Gorg we fell in
with typical Persian of the better
class, Darab Khan by name, who was
travelling with his secretary, Mira
Ali Akbar They both took friend
ly interest in us and piled us with
questions as to our domestic and So
cial life.
What do you have to pay for a
wife in your country2' asked Darab
Khan innocently.
Nothing, l replied. Indeed in
some cases the bride is given a dover
by her parents.
That's interesting" commented
the Persian. II suppose you marry
large number of wives, as you get
them so cheap"
mo, responded. 1T is the Gus
tom in Christian countries to marry
only one wife.
Only onel" replied Darab in pity
ing accents, How foolish !"-Al-
