Leasing Convicts.

The dramatic incident in successful
play of a young southern woman leasing
her convict lover from the state and keep
ing him by her side seems improbable, but
an Alabama newspaper says that such a
proceeding was quite possible in recon
struction days in the south. At that time
convicts were leased out to individuals,
and one case is cited of father who leased
his convict son from the state and kept
him in comfort at home.-New York

Religion of the PersIans.

In Persia the population is mainly
Aryan-IraDian-wit some infusion of
Armenians. Jews, Turks and Arabs; and
just as the Persian language has been in
fused with many Arab words, while re-
tanning its own grammar and vocabulary
derived from the ancient speech, so Islam
has been grated on a people who have
never quite forgotten their ancient ma
tional beliefs, and who have refused to
abandon their earlier customs.
Among Persians of the middle class
there are many devout Moslems, though
their beliefs are not those of the majority
in Islam. The upper class is often openly
infidel; and infdel literature-esp specialiy
poetry-circulates unchecked, while Eu-
ropean education (of French origin, espe-
eiaily) is diifused among the higher off,
cials. The dervishes are disliked and
despised, though treated with respect in
public. The Mullahs or mosque scholars
are reported TO be hypocritieal, and are
very often skeptics at heart, The cruel
ties perpetrated IN the name of justice
are often Darbarous in the extreme. The
Jews are prosecuted. The dirty and
drunken Armenians of the North are
only protected by European influence.
The Persians are pleasure-loving peo-
pie, and the morality Of the towns is bad.
Intrigues are common among married
women, and secret poisoning is the re-
suit. Gambling and playing,
though discounIenanced by the respect
able class, are as common as drinking,

Roman Standards.

In the Roman army there was a very
highly developed system of military en-
signs, which, just as among modern ma
tions, were regarded not merely as a
rallying point for given body of men,
but as an emblem of the State, and were
therefore surrounded with a veneration
which degenerated into idolatry. From
d tactical point of view the Roman stand
ards were of more importance than the
flag at the present day, for the move
ments of the troops were entirely regu-
lated by them.
According as they were raised and car
ried forward, planted in the ground, or
turned toward the rear, in obedience to
the sounds of the horns of the "corni-
cines," the army broke up it's camp and
marched, or retreated and halted. In
the camp the standards were planted be-
fore the Generals tent, where their pres
ence sanctified the spot as though it were
q temple, and rendered it safe deposit
tory for the booty collected by the legion.
It was to the standards the soldiers swore
allegiance, and the first step of a pro-
tender who sought to become Emperor
was to seize the standards, as he thereby
secured the fidelity of the legion.
On feast days the dusty, awe-inspir-
ing Standards" as Pliny calls them, were
anointed with perfumes and decorated
with garlands; on days of mourning they
were stripped of their ornaments, and ii,
when the order to march was given, their
bearers found it difficult to loosen them
from the earth, it was looked upon as a
fatal omen.-All the Year Round.

Explosion by sympathy.

Musicians are well aware of the fact
that if any note of the gamut be clearly
sounded or sung within vibration range
of any suitable musical instrument-say
harp or piano-that the string, which
ever it may be, tuned to the same note,
will begin to sound upon its own account,
or respond" as it is termed. If the
singer then refrains from repeating the
note he began with, but sings another
one, the speaking string instantly re-
lapses into silence, while another re-
spends to the new note. In the same
way an organ pipe will respond, as, in
deed, will vase, hollow vessel with
thin sides, or even an apartment, if the
particular note to which they are respec-
lively tuned be first sounded.
Now, it will be noticed by many that in
constructing stores for the reception of
explosives it is very much the fashion to
build a series of exactly the same dimen-
sions, and to place them, with almost
mathematical accuracy, at equal distances
apart. They are filled with explosives;
one day an accident" explodes their
contents, and everybody is surprised
when, despite the next building being
much too far off," and with 'interven-
ing walls twelve feet thick" some or all
the other stores blow up in due sequence.
What other result could ensue?
All the buildings are identical in size
and capacity; hence the mote" sounded
in the tirst-whether it be one of triumph
or of tragedy-fnds immediate "re-
sponse' in No. 2, when, reinforced by a
second explosion, the next store cannot
do otherwise than follow the example of
the other two: and so the mischief
spreads. 1t is important to bear in mind
that we are now dealing with the influ-
ence of sympathetic musical vibrations
only, not with the mechanical impulse OF
a detonic tremor or '.iar." For it is as
sumed in this case that the buildings are
so far apart and otherwise protected"
that, if they are inharmonic. the material
in one cannot be fired simply by detonat-
ing the contents of another adjacent
thereto.
The foregoing proposition has its origin
in some experiments with iodide of nj
trogen and illuminate of mercury, in the
course of which the writer found that
small quantities of the sensitive explo-
slves placed in sounding boxes' of pre-
cisely the same dimensions could be ex-
ploded by the detonation of one of them
at greater distances from the detonator
than, coeter5s para6uS, was possible in the
open, or when in boxes (of other shapes)
not relatively harmonic" to the deto-
nator box.-The Nineteenth Century.

THE FASCINATING GOTHAM GIRL.

Five strangers met by chance one day, and as
men often do
They entered a discussion on the women that
they knew.
With gesture that was earnest, and with eye
that sparkled bright,
The Colonel rom Kentucky said. sour girls
are out of sight.
You ought to see our bluegrass bellies you
ought to hear them talk,
To eaten a glimpse OF one of them full fifty
miles I'd walk"
ssYes," said the blithe Chicago man, "vour
girls are pretty fair,
But you should see Chicago, and the ones we
nave out there.
In all Of the accomplishments of art and
beauty they
Are equaled by the products of no other
place, l say.
They're up ana down and all around, in every
way complete;
l think I'm right in saying that they etthere
with both feet"
Quoth he who dwelt In Michigan: "'Tis evi-
dent to me
You've never seen the daisies of the Erie
Belt,' cried he.
They're full of grace and beauty; they can
dance and they can sing;
They take TO horseback riding as bird takes
to the wing.
If you have not gaZed on our girls of course
your not TO blame,
But 1 can tell you Venus isn't in il with the
same.o
Then with pitying smile up spoke the man
from Boston town:
''Superduous 10 mention is the Boston girls
renown.
A certain beauty that is wild, of course, the
Western maid
Is generally admitted to possess, but Pm
afraid
When placed besides the highest product of
the Hub, you know.
In classic art and culture she would be, ahem,
quite slow.
But what think your" he questioned to the
stranger by their side,
And with tine grace ana courtesy the fifth
man quick replied:
"I'm always interested in discussions of this
kind,
But OF course never join them, which trust
you viii not mind.
For me 10 argue with you-well, it would not
be quite fair,
That I'm from New York, gentlemen, you
may not be aware"
Then quickly rose the Bostonite, the man
from Michigan,
The Colonel from Kentucky and the blithe
Chicago man.
They gathered round the silent one and
grabbed him by the hand,
Exclaiming as they did so: 'Oh, we did not
understand"
And then with unaninity they formed them
into line
And chorused to their conqueror, sSay,
stranger, what's your wine.v

THE SONG OF SHIPS.


The sky made whip of the wind and lashed
the sea into foam,
And the keen-blowing gales tore the flags and
the sails of the ships that were plunging
home;
OF the ships that were tossing home on the
black and bilowy deep,
But VINO shall reach to the wrecks, the wrecks
where the ships and their captains sleep?
Oh, wrecks, by the black seas tossed,
In the deSolate ocean nights!
Lost, lost IN the darkness, lost
In sight o. the harbor hghtsi
The sky made q veil o. the clouds, and a
scourge o. the lightning red,
And the blasts bowed the nasts of the ships
that Jared where love and the seagulls
led;
OF the ships that were faring home with love
for the waiting breast;
But where is the love that can reach TO the
wrecks where the ships and their cap
tains rest?
Oh, ships of our love- wave-tossed
In the fathom1esS ocean nights
Lost, lost in the blackness. lost
In sight o. the harbor lights!
There was once ship of my soul that tossed
DER stormy sea,
And this was my prayer, when the nights
gloomed drear: ''Send my souls ship
safe to me!
Send my soul's ship safely home, from pillows
and blacEened skies %
But where is the soul that can reach to the
depth, the depths where my souls ship
lies?
Oh, ship of my soul, storm-tossed
In the far and fearful nights,

In sight o. the harbor lights
