Why PERSIA is PEACEFUL.
Mona IN I'M edans Are Not AZ Aggressive
There as they Are Elsewhere.

Communications from Persia explain
the remarkable quietude of the people
and The absence OF the usual attempts
al rioting and assassination, notwith-
standing the violent removal or the
late shah, says the Edinburgh Scots
man. For more than a generation
there has been in Persia little or none
of the Mohammedan fanaticism which
is at present forthcoming the more or
thodox rule of the sultan OF Turkey.
The Shah form of Islam, which pre-
walls in Persia and in North India also,
is considered dangerous heresy by
all other Mohammedans. The Persian
Mujtahids and Moollas are few in num-
Der, and even they are not UNAFFECTED
by the growing Soofi belief, which sat
urates Persian literature and is really
| a form of Hidoo pantheism. Bishop

given his later years to continuing the

wider scale by the Babi faith, which
is helS intensely, though secretly, by
about 1000, 900 OF the people. All Ba-
bis are friendly to Christians. Islam
is rapidly losing its hold on Persia.
Occasionally when the church mission
aries seem too openly active the PAID
Moolas try to excite the mob to ter
rify the converts, but they treat the
bishop and his colleagues with pro-
found respect, as their fathers treated
Henry Martyr at Shiraz. Six converts

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Do not be afraid of making enemies.
Woe TO him who has none!-Balzac.
The happy are those who possess
their own souls, whose attitude toward
life and their fellow-men is firmly
chosen and faithfully preserved.
What furniture can give such a fin
ish 10 a room as tender woman's
face? And is there any harmony of
tints that has such STRINGS of de-
light as the sweet modulations of her
voice?-George Eliot.
Since happiness is necessarily the
supreme object of our desires, and du-
~ the supreme rule of our actions,
there can be no harmony in our being
except our happiness comedies with
our Whewell.

THESE gallant women warriors

Cox, an equestrienne who won
the plaudits of multitudes
by her daring horseback riding in pink
tights in a one-ring circus some years
ago, says the New York World For
several weeks the lassies have been
learning to ride. That was not so very
difficult, as the war horses are gradu-
ates from street car lines with not
enough spirit even to attempt TO buck
or act unruly. 1t was at the first dress
parade that the lassies had trouble.
Accustomed all their lives to the jingle
and clack of bells the horses did not
know quite how to act when they heard
the lively ting-a-ling of tambourines
and the STUNNING OF banjos. Some
of the horses thought it was a signal
to so ahead and others regarded the
sounds as a command to stop.
A horse trainer, however, gave the
animals course of instruction so that
they now are quite the equal of Sew

THEY WERE SUSPICIOUS.
How Indians From the West Were bysti.

Major Pollock, who was once superin-

visited by them, and they came sometimes
In crowds.
On one OCCASION while the Indians were
making COLL on the major, he went to

up tho Indian office. When his COLL was
answered, he sad
Tell Frank to como to tho phone"
Frank was u half breed employed in tho

"Hello, Frankl" said the major "Hold.

and wants to talk with you"
Thon he went into his Office and led ono
of the chiefs to the telephone.

major, placing the transmitter In tho
chiefs hand
After many grunts and suspicious
glances at the mysterious contrivance tho
little car trumpet was finally held to the
chiefs car, and the major said:
Nov, go ahead, Frank"
A grin spread over tho Indians face,
and he dropped tho transmitter. After
trying in vain to look behind tho instru-
meht he stuck his head out of the window
and looked around. Then, with q bewil-
dered look he ran o the door and gazed
up and down the corridor.
Tho major explained to him that Frank
was up town in another building, but tho
chief wasn't convinced and called another
Indian. While the second Indian was
listening the first chief watched the
majors lips closely, evidently suspecting
some trick Of ventriloquism.
"ugh!' grunted the second chief as he |
dropped tho transmittcr and looked under
a desk and out of II window
Tho major couldn't satisfactorily explain |
tho matter to tho Chiefs and finally was
forced to put on his hat and take them
over to tho Indian Office, where they found
Frank at the phone, waiting for more
talk. Washington Star.
