NasIr-ed-pln OF Persia.

The whole revenue of the country
being at their disposal, recent soyer-
eigns Of Persia have been able to
amass enormous private fortunes.
That Of the dead shah is reported to
amount to about $50, O0O. 900 most OF
it in the shape OF diamonds.
Europeans recall Nasir-ed- Dins
first visit to Berlin. The oriental
monarch was SO intolerable in his be-
havior that the old kaiser withdrew
from the festivities on the plea of in
disposition and refused to see the
shah again before his departure. I'M
pressions Of biting and critical ma
ture gained by the shah were COM
mitted to writing and upon visit OF
Count Andor Szechenly of Hungary
that gentleman was permitted to read
his majesty's opinions OF European
manners and customs.
At state banquet in Berlin En-
press Augustus magnificent robe was
ruined by the shah's habit of coolly
removing such food from his mouth
As was distasteful to him and throw
ing it into the empress lap.
The prince OF Wales spent thousands
Of dollars in preparing for the shah 5
visit to Buckingham's palace, re-
placing furniture, tapestries. paper
hangings, etc, and providing oriental
fare for the Asian monarch. The
odor of the Persian court, coming
from the food and cooking habits OF
the retainers could not be removed
fer months
His visit to London gave rise to
many curious stories. The doings OF
the eastern monarch. his attendants,
and courtiers scandalized the respect
able citizens Of London. 1t is said
that on the occasion Of state ball the
shah was so unfamiliar with the west
ern methods as to drop handkerchief
on the floor in front OF one Of the bellies

grounds, cost many thousands Of dol
lars. He continued his mining en-
terFrises all this time and 70 use the
miners phrase in this respect ..had
lost his luck" After a few years OF
these heavy outlays with some other
revenues and no income except she
farm he found his finances very much
reduced, and during these years out
side mining companies had bought up
most of the good mining land and
was proving it themselves. He be-
came dissatisfied with his surround
ings and gathered together what hehad
left and moved west, stopping in the
state Of Kansas. where he has resided
ever since.
He was peculiar character, never
wanted to loan money for the interest.
He preferred to pay itcut to men who
were in want of it to live on and ven
tured getting profits out OF their la
Dor. His idea was that if those who
prospered used their money that way.
everybody about them would prosper.
Temperate in habits, not extravagant
in any sense Of the word, yet he spent
a fortune, but in that manly and noble
way of buying labor of those who
wanted to sell. Having been called
to that everlasting dreamless sleep,
many men who are now living will
receive the news with sad hearts and
remember him with the greatest re-
spect and kindly tenderness. -CouN-

Relative Value of Advertising Space,

Relative Value of Advertising Space.
Danville Register.l
The value of advertising space de-
ponds upon the character of a news
paper and its circulation. Some
people have an idea that if there are
two papers in town the advertising
rates will necessarily be lower. Ad-
vertising rates are always tased upon
the circulatian and character of the
paper. An advertisement in one pa
per may be worth to the advertiser
hundreds of dollars because of the
large circulation and high character
OF the paper, while the same adver-
tisement in another paper of smaller
circulation and inferior character
and standing would be worth moth
ing.
