THE SHAH IN EUROPE.
Not Surprising That Potentates Dom
Long For His Visits.

Not Surprising That Potentates Don't
Long For His Visits.
The Shah,s first visit to Europe was made
in 1878, and his second In 1879. He came
again in 1889, and it was then observed that
his manners had not In the least improved.
He still insisted, for example, on throwing
under the table his plates and other dishes as
fast as he got through with their contents.
Perhaps that is the approved Persian table
etiquette. But in a s~umptuously furnished
European palace, with china as fragile as
egg shells, and worth its weight in gold, it
is, to say the least, rather trying. At his
last dinner as the guest Of Queen Victoria, in
1889, it is said, he thus destroyed a thousand
dollars worth of rare china. At all sub
sequent. meals q number of walters were
kept standing close behind him, to snatch up
his plates the moment he seemed o n with
them, or at least to tax them from his hand
before be could throw them under the table.
Even despite these precautions he broke
guests on the feet and shins with the dishes.
At one dinner, when some especially valu-
able china was used, four men were stationed
behind his chair, the floor underneath the
table was covered with feather cushions, and
two expert jugglers were actually kept under
the table, near the Shah's knees; to catch
n dishes be might succeed in finging down
there. In this way the priceless china was
preserved unbroken.
The Shah's personal habits were so UNI
clearly that the furnishings of the rooms he
occupied were entirely ruined. After he
quilted a royal palace and moved on to the
next court, the apartments looked as though
cattle had been stabbed there. Bedding, car
pets and curtains were in such a state as to
be fit only to be taken out and burned, and
the very walls and floors had to be scrubbed
and disinfected. Yet all these things had to
be endured with unmoved complacence.
Never would it do to complain, to resist any
thing, to betray the least irritation. Is it
any wonder, then, that a repetition of the
ordeal is regarded with something more than
consternationa Many members of the vari-
Gus royal families are arranging to go away
on visits or travels while he Is in Europe,
and the court functionaries and even the
common servants are racking their brains
for devices for keeping out of his way.
Some will pretend to be i'll and thus get off
duty for a time, while others will actually
resign their places rather than be compelled
to deal with the imperial barbarian .-Phila-
delphia Times.

ODD MOMENTS.
Difficult to Accomplish Much b!
Fragmentary Work..

Difficult to Accomplish Much by
Fragmentary Work.
Said a discouraged woman, sIf you had
ever tried to work by snatcnes, you would
know how hard it is to get anything done
that way"
stPve had to do a great deal Of work and
study just that way-by s%natches," re-
sponded the other quickly. 81 had to learn
to systemic my odds and ends of time. Sol
know it can be done"
These Todd minutes which we all lose in
our days, count up amazingly. Fifteen
minutes multiplied by four make an hour.
And so many times a day we let slip fifteen
minutes!
Fifteen minutes waiting for the lazy ones
to come down to breakfast! Fifteen for the
unpunctual ones to go for a walk or a drivel
Fifteen minutes waiting for the luncheon or
dinner bell to ring! Fifteen minutes wait
ing a dressmaker's pleasure, for the child to
come back from an errand, or for the rest
less baby to go to sleepl Not to speak of the
half hours and hours spent IN trains and
boatsl
When at night the busy woman counts up
her used and wasted opportunities, she
thinks despairingly, eff / only had those
odd minutes in one lump at one time, how
much | could accomplish which now seems
unattainable!"
But something can be done with these odd
moments which are SO exasperatingly I'M
productive to the diligent one. This is in
disputable, because there are those who nave
used just such minutes to advantage. Many
true examples rise up to confirm the state
ment.
A woman who was obliged to wait at the
breakfast table for a dozen boarders to
struggle down, in her waiting moments
manufactured yards of a dainty lace, which
she found q profitable way Of employing the
time. Another young woman, who daily
waited o quarter of an hour for In elderly
friend to GO driving, kept a book on the hall
table, and in the waiting times of one sum
mer managed to do a creditable amount of his
torical reading. Another kept a novel
"goings in each room of the house, and
whenever she waited for dinner managed to
read a few chapters of whichever book was
handiest. The only reading moments of one
busy woman was the time she spent every
day putting her baby to sleep, and her book
was kept in readiness for the operation.
1t is told of one industrious young girl
that she constantly crocheted or knitted
during the minutes her drawing teacher was
explaining perspective or sharpening her
pencil. But this does seem carrying minute
saving very far.-Harper's Basar.

NOTORIOUS F~LIMFLAMMERs.

Two notorious fimfammers, Frank J.
Collins, of Philadelphia, and John Wilson, of
Manchester, were caught by Sergeant
Jacobus and Policeman Fallon, in Hoboken,
yesterday afternoon, on Washington street.
The men entered Schmoltz's bakery at Tenth
and Washington streets, and asked for five
cents worth of buns. The merchandise was
handed them and Collins rendered them a
fifty cent piece. The boy waiting upon them
handed back a quarter and two ten cent
pieces and then turned his back. In a
moment Collins called the boys attention,
holding two ten cent pieces and a five cent
piece in his hand, saying
"Did you mean to give me a new quarter
when you gave me the five cent piece~
The boy knew he had not made a mistake,
and told the men SO. They threatened him,
and he called his father. The men left, and
later were arrested on the street by the
policemen, who had been notified. They
have swindled other people in Hoboken, and
will be held for further examination.

TWO VIRGINIA JAYS.
Surrendered $3.50 to New York Green
Goods Men.


Two Virginia hayseeds fell into the hands
of New York "green goods" yesterday after
noon and were feeced to the tune of $3.50.
They were caught by Detective McNally at
the Central Railroad depot as they were on
their way home. The men gave their names
as Jonathan Bloom and Archie Montgomery.
Bloom was forty-ive years old, his COM
panion twenty-five. Both men hailed from
Stainesville, Hampshire County, w. Va.
For the past month the men ave been in
communication with the green goods" men.
The seductive circulars finally hooked the
hayseeds and gathering together all their
wealth they came to New York. At Bethle-
hem, Pa, they were met by a ~glib-tongued
young man who escorted them to New York.
They were taken to a hotel on West street,
the counterfeit sgreen goods delivered and
two happier men never crossed the ferry than
Bloom and Montgomery. When accosted by
Detective McNally they were frightened,
McNally finally took the box which Bloom
carried under his arm, and opening it showed
the men its contents. A big roll of blank
paper wa all they had for the $3.50 good
money. Superintendent Smith warned the
men to keep out of New York in future and
then released them.i
