THE "peL,oHTruL POISON.


w
In Psrsis Orisinssed.
''In the Kingdom of the Shah. By DR..
Treacher Collins, the author tells OF the
origin of winemaking in Persia II was
during the reign Of King Jamsheed that
the vineyards Of Shirxz, as today, were
noted for the superlative quality OF the
grapes they produced on account OF the
variations of temperature-thei intense
cold of winter and extrea,e heat OF sum-
mer-to which they were subjected.
King Jamsheed was exceedingly fond
OF Shiraz grapes, and in order to enjoy
them throughout the year conceived the
idea of preserving them in jar. Fer
mentation, of course, took place, and
when the Jar was opened and found to
contain quantity of acid liquid it was
looked upon as poison by the king. He
placed it in bottles and labeled 1t as
such. On a certain occasion one OF his
female favorites, who was sorely affiict-
ed with nervous headache, discovered
the bottles marked poison" and swal-
lowed the contents of one in the hope of
putting an end to her life. The effect,
however, was to throw her into deep
sleep, from which she awoke much be-
freshed. The result was Sd delightful
that she frequently repeated the dose I'M
til all the supposed poison was con-
sumed.
The king, who missed the bottles,
caused inquiry to be made, and the se-
oret of their disappearance was revealed.
This led to the manufacture of wine
from Shiraz grapes, which to this day is
known as Zeher-e- Khoosh, or "the de-
liphtful poison" The laws of the Koran
against the use of spirituous liquors are
generally very rigidly observed, particu-
larly among the poorer classes. DIR. Col
Inns says that he never saw an intoxicat-
ed Mohammedan, even among the cha
vadars, men who do the most laborious
work. Unlike their western prototypes,
who cannot exist without beer or spirits,
they refresh themselves only with q suck
at hubble bubble pipe or cup OF very
strong, sweet, hot tea in either the
sweltering heat of summer or the in
tense cold of winter. Tipping in Persia
is confined exclusively to the richer
Glasses and INDUCED in only in the Sc
clusion of the anderan. The Persians
make two sorts Of wine, red and a
white. The latter contains an excess OF
alcohol and is in greater favor with
those who indulge in secret drinking.
Arrack, crude, fiery spirit, is likewise
distilled. 1t is probable that when
Persia has railroads and the vineyards
of Shiraz become accessible, the superior
quality Of the grapes for winemaking
will attract the attention Of western
manufacturers.

Comrades: l find it impossible to describe
the sense of sorrow with which I am over
whelmed today. On receiving details of the
great loss which has fallen Upon us in the
action of my son, your late commander
every high anticipation of my heart for him
for nearly forty years seems to have been
swept away, and every tender association of
his life with my own, and with his beloved
mothers, scenes likely to be trampled IN
der foot in this hour Of his sore temptation
The melancholy course of action upon which
he has embarked has been taken in the face
of expostulations of the chief of staff in
spite of affectionate entreaties of his brother
and one sister, and one of my most trusted
officers, sent expressly to New York TO rea-
son with him without any communication
with me of any kind, and in utter disregard
OF three Geographic messages from myself

rect the government of this army upon the
principles of equal justice between man and
man.
