THE RULER OF PERSIA.
His Palace at Tohcran and Some
of His Treasures.
The Present shah Is Not n Dad Sort
of "A FcIiOw-Ele IL Brusgne Of
Speech and n Nagnin-
cent Shot.

The present ruler of Persia is far re-
moved from blood-thirstiness is a quiet
man. and spends much of his time pot
tering around his gardens in tweed
suit. either with his gun or camera.
In state parades he wears black, with a
cluster of brilliants in his hat and on
each shoulder. He sits his horse awk-
wardly. and waddles when he walks,
and has a dull, lethargic fnce and man
ner. as though he were of drowsy,
slothfu temperament. He is a con-
frmed invalid. and is in physical pain
most of the time; consequently he
hates ceremonials.
His palace, says thesNew illustrated
Magazine. is medley OF brightly-paint-
ed, fantastic buildings, adorned with
fringes. arabesques and wonderful
paintings of beasts and birds. The
gardens attached are charming. There
are pleasant avenues of poplars, pines
and myrtles. lovely beds of flowers,
tiny streams and cascades, and at one
end there is an enormous throne, where
the shah gives public audiences. The
CNAl - SNSh III tAAN oAh~A .
residence would fill a book. Priceless
Jewels and worthless gewgaws are
mixed in reckless and unappreciative
fashion. One apartment, known as the
brilliant room, is nothing but mass
of mirrors; the carpets are of silk, and
every chair, table and piece of wains-
coting is of gold. 1t is such place as
Aladdin might have dreamed of; and
yet all around were lying childish toys
--canaries that sang by clockwork,
shells that opened and out walked
chickens. a darby doll, photograph
of Queen Victoria, picture torn out
of an illustrated paper, plaster busts
minus noses and ears. and on the CEN
trail table was a gorgeous red plush
frame containing photo of some OBJ
scure English official. In another room
Mr.. Fraser saw exquisite works of art
from the salon alongside a horrible adj
vertisement sheet, lovely carved ivory
jars and ten-cent toothbrushes, and in
one corner was a common, cheap iron

tresses on the floor. Everywhere wal
shown the same eXecrable taste.
All the world has heard of the won.
| der and gorgeousness of the Persian
jewels, the like of which are not to be
found in the whole world. Bowls filled
with pearls, which Mr.. Fraser said run
through your fingers like grains of
rice; trays heaped with diamonds, and
turquoises, and amethysts, and thrones
and chairs entirely covered with mag
nifcent diamonds and other Jewels,
are to be seen. When the present shah
was crowned it was a very hot day,
and he slipped away as soon as pos
sible after the ceremony. He was found
sitting in a draught on the corri-
dor steps, in his shirt sleeves. Some
one demonstrated, and said he would
certainly catch cold. "Oh, l am so
warm" he replied, land this thing"
taking off the crown and pitching it
to one side, ais so henvyl 1 hope l
shall never have to put it on again"
On another occasion he took off his
headdress. which was heavy with da-
monds. and threw it into the corner
of the room, saying: ''I am not going
TO have my head cracked with a load
like that on it. Let the stones be re-
moved"
The shah is brusque of speech; he is
also a magnificent shot, and can shoot
a hole through copper coin tossed
IN fba ofr JTa coae off ~, ,.o,,nrb hunt
ing trips and bags big game. He is
the best gun in Persia. He is neither
a fool nor an imbecile, and is man
of swift action. He is kindly of
heart. and is more apt to pardon
robber or criminal than to condemn
him TO death. This kindliness makes
him unpopular, for the Persians want
a king to be king, and to the average
Persian mind kingship means cruelty,
debauchery and eXtortion.
All the food the shah eats is most
carefully prepared. and prince of
the royal blood is responsible that no
tricks are played. Every dish as it
is brought from the kitchen is care
fully sealed, and the seals are broken |
in the shah's presence. According TO
the shah eats alone. For
merly he squatted, and ate from tray
placed on the floor, but now ne has
been persuaded to sit on mattress
and eat from table about a foot high.
Between so and 60 dishes are served,
but his majesty eats only two or three,
is eaten from his fingers.
Il. \ IL

Of rice and search for the bones that

strances on this practice by saying

RACIAL GEOGRAPHY.
Long Headed People Live in the Paths
of Commerce.

OF Commerce.
The long-headed populations seem
to follow the open country and the
river valleys. The Alpine broad
headed type, on the other hand, is al
ways and everywhere aggregated in
the areas of isolation. Its relative
purity, moreover, varies in proper
ton to the degree of such isolation
enjoyed or suffered. In Savoy and
Auvergne it is quite unmixed; in Brit
tany only few vestiges of it remain.
And yet these few remnants are strict
ly confined within the inhospitable
granite areas, so that the boundaries
of the two correspond very closely.
The spoken Celtic tongue has also
fingered here in Brittany for peculiar
reasons. The main one is the isola-
ton of the district, which has shell
tered the Alpine race in the same
way. For ii is now beyond question
that the Breton, the Auvergnat, and
the Savoyard are all descendants of
the same stock. In nearly every case
the Alpine race is found distributed,
as DR.. Collignon says, "by a mechan-
ism, so to speak, necessary, and which
by the fatal law of the geographic con-
ditions Of the soil ought to be as it is"
In the unattractiye or inaccessible
areas the observation-disclosures centers al
most exclusively; in the open, fertile
plains the cephalic index falls as reg
ularly as the elevation. So closely is
this law followed that DR.. Collignon
atlirms of the central plateau that
wherever one meets an important
river easily assembled, the ccphalic in

TRoTT1NG MATCHES.
They Came to Us from Holland--The
Hardriverij

They Came to Us from Holland-ThC
Hardriverij
There is one distinctly Dutch sport
| the Hardriverij. This delightful
word pronounced "hard drivery'') is
Dutch for a trotting match. 1t was
from Holland, through the old Dutch
settlers Of the colony, before New
Amsterdam was taken by the fleets
of Charles II. and renamed New York,
that our American cousins got their
taste for trotting horses, says the Con-
temporary Review. All classes, from
the nobleman to the farmer, grow ex-
cited over the survivals Of the chariot
race, and their level roads have nat
urally led to the breeding Of horses
exactly suited for gig driving at high
speed. The breed is indigenous to
Friesland, though many are bred in
Cumberland. Most of the horses are
shaped like a small edition of the Eng
lish shire horses, short and compact,
with very strong quarters and we'll
sloped shoulders. They do not show
the quality Of the Norfolk or Orloff
trotter, as the neck and head are
coarser, and they have generally
good deal of hair at the heels; but for
pace, over a short course, it is doubt
full if either could equal them. The
trotting matches are run in heats like
coursing matches, except that in each
horse must win the best out of three
courses.
At The Hague these races are held
in a fine avenue running from the
great wood to the "Maalibaan" or pa
rade ground. The course is on
pounded cookie shells, and wide
enough for two gigs to race abreast.
A score of entries is not uncommon.
The horses are owned by men of all
degrees, count, baron or farmer, and
the gigs, picked out with gold, and
the animals decorated with ribbons,
make fine show The pairs go off
with flying start at the sound of a
bugle, and if the two vehicles are not
level when they pass the line the
bugle sounds again, and they start
afresh. The horses are steadied, and
as they once more pass the line the
driver shakes the reins-for no whip
is allowed-and the pair fly down the
avenue at top speed, their hind Legs
tucked under them and their fore
feet coming out like pistons. When
the final heats are run the excitement
grows intense.
Unlike our flat racing, the Har-
driverij victory often falls to some
comparatively poor owner Of trotter.
The count and the farmer shout en-
couragement as their gigs rush by,
and the friends of each are equally
demonstrative in their different ways.
If the farmer wins, the success is cele-
brated that evening with an enthu-
siasm which could not be exceeded in
Yorkshire. The Dutch are generally
considered a phlegmatic race, but they
keep an immense reserve of excite
ment strictly suppressed, and when
this finds vent not even Italians can
be wilder. That evening half a dozen
well-to-do farmers and their wives
may be met dancing arm in arm down
the Spui STRAIT, singing at the top of
their voices, the owner Of the winner
beating time as he dances backward
in front of them.

Story That Famine Relief Steamer
to India was Misused. Not
Believed,

San Francisco, Nov. "a Duluth dis
patch to the effect that Capt. Lavorg,
of the famine relief steamer City of Ev-
erett, has made complaints of the
manner in which he was treated by
British customs officials of Calcutta
and the English citizens of that city in
general, with reference to dues and
other matters, has brought forth a Wig
orous denial from the chamber of COM
merce of this city, in part, as follows:
We have no knowledge that any an
noyanceS were Intentionally inflicted on
the City of Everett or her master. We
have formally extended to our people,
through official channels, the thanks of
the British government for the kindly
action of our citizens in forwarding
this relief to British subjects The
chamber of commerce of San Francisco
was the local responsible organization
connection with the charter of the City
of Everett and therefore deems it a du-
ty to place this matter before the pub
lie. No duties whatever were charged
on the cargo moreover, it was trans
ported by the British government to the
points in the interior free of charges"
British Consul General Warburton
places no credence in the dispatch stat
ing that there is no duty on grain and
food stuffs, such as the Everett carried.
The consul general has a letter from
the captain of the steamer, dated Cal
cutta, August %, telling of the dis
charge of the relief cargo and making
no mention of any trouble or unpIeas-
a.ntneSS in the matter.

lettering to the mission of the mon

had not expected anything better from
the European governments. They were
against bimetallism, but he was of the
opinion that the people of this country
would eventually adopt it independent

Hiawatha G. A. r. circles are exer-

colOred and white members of the local
posts. Some time ago it was arranged
that the deceased veterans should be

having been purchased by the post, with
the view of erecting a monument to the
veterans.
A destitute coIored veteran was re-
