The shah's Days Work.

A vivid account of the daily life of
the shah of Persia is contributed to The
Illustrated Magazine by Mr.. j. F. Fra
ser, who visited Teheran in the course
of his worlds tour on a bicycle.
"How does the shah spend an ordi-
nary day? Well, he is busy man. He
rises early, performs his devotions, has
piece of thin, pasty Persian bread and
glass of sweetened tea. Then at about
o'clock he receives his ministers. He
is slovenly in habit and walks up and
down the room with his slippers flip
Tapping. Indeed, the story goes that
the reason he parted with his first wife
was because she constantly complained
that he did not wash himself.
"He dictates dozens of letters, hears
dispatches read, consults authorities, at
tends infinitely to every detail of bust
ness. This continues for six hours at a
stretch. Then he has his breakfast. All
the food is carefully prepared, and a
prince of the royal blood is responsible
that no tricks are played. The shah, ac-
rording to etiquette, eats alone. Be-
tween so and 60 dishes are served, but
his majesty only touches two or three
Knives and forks are things unknown
at court, and the shah eats rything
with his tingers-greased rice, mutton
and fruit.
During breakfast extracts from Eu-
ropean papers, chiefly French, are read
to the shah. Following breakfast the
shah probably has an hours sleep, and
then, after some glasses of tea, he will
amuse himself with working a little
telegraph instrument, playing backgam
mon with his ministers-who are care
full not to win-setting and resetting
plants in the gardens or taking photo
graphs. He has even been photographed
in bed and has pictures of himself dress
ed in uncomfortable Prussian military
attire and even in the garb of an Eng
lish curate''

NOVEL ENTERTAlNM En- 7.
It Was Provided by st. Louis Man Tor
His Wife's Feminine Friends.


His Wife's Feminine Friends.
A wealthy St Louisan living in tho
vicinity Of Lafayette park provided
novel form of entertainments for his
wife's guests one evening, says the ST.
Louis Republic.
The hostess was extremely anxious TO
provide something original for the cdi-
fication of score of guests whom size
intended to call together for an informal
evening Her husband promised to pro-
vide such novelty and took a boon COM
panion into his confidence to that end.
They had not exchanged ideas 80 con-
secutive seconds before they hit upon
the device of converting the elegant
parlors into gambling house pro tenn.
A faro bank, roulette wheel and po-
ker and keno lay outs were easily pro
durable, as the conferees we'll knew,
and that part of the programme was
soon settled The friend suggested as a
pretty epilogue the introduction of a
pair of bulldogs guaranteed to reduce
each other to mlnce meat III three
rounds. This rather staggered the ambl-
tious host, but his friend is Il ward poll
tician, and with the eloquence he always
keeps on draft soon convinced the other
that the evening would be failure
without those bulldogs.
The evening arrived, and with it came
the guests. The ladies were prettily
shocked at sight of the gambling para
phernalia, but became accustomed to it
in an astopishingly short time and shar
ed in the games with becoming vim. Il
was when the yellow bulldogs made
their unexpected entrance that the hor-
ror of the fair guests proved genuine.
The beasts yelped and growled and
showed other peculiarly canine symp-
toms of "spoiling for a fight. There
upon the ladies sought refuge on the pi-
ano and card tables and chairs, con-
Quoting their retreat as from Il mouse.
Notwithstanding excited feminine
protestations, the friend who had been
consulted as to novelty in entertain
ment unleashed the dogs. 1t was an cx-
citing climax to an 'originai' evening,
The dogs Toasted for five minutes on
choice bits of each others anatomy.
The ladies screamed and the friend who
was consulted eXulted in the success of
his novelty. When he was quite con-
vinced-and it took q considerable time
to convince him-that the ladies desire
for gore had been fully gratified, he
doused the dogs into convenient tub
of water and separated them.

Availability, Kindliness, Manliness, Integ-
rity, Are Its Foundation.
To the query, Are young men who
cannot, from religious convictions, play
cards, dance or attend the theater apt
to be popular with young women of re-
finement and education who indulge in
such amusements? Edward W. Box, i'll
"Problems For Young Men, i'll The
Ladies' Home Journal, responds:
"Why, certainly. Why not? The
amusements in which man INDUCES
have nothing to do with his outward
attractiveness or popularity. 1t is the
way in which a young man carries him
self in his department. that makes or
mars his popularity with girls OF men.
One of the most popular and delightful
fellows know in New York has never
been inside of a theater, although he is
35 years of age. Nor has he ever danced
or played cards. He was a personal
friend for ten years before l knew that
his religious principles precluded his in
diligence i'll these amusements. His Sc
cret is that he does not carry his convic
tons on his sleeve for everybody to rub
against. And of his popularity with
women, young and mature, can assure
you absolutely. He reads about the new
plays and can, therefore, talk about
them if they come up in conversation.
If asked if he has seen a certain actor
or play, he merely replies in the mega
tive. Never does he force his convic-
lions upon Others A young mans pop
ularity with either sex rests upon some-
thing more than his forms of amuse-
ment. Availability of manner, kindli-
ness, pleasant address, a manly out
look on life, honorable principles-all
these go far toward insuring popular

M'CLELLAN'S WARHORSE.
Something About Dan, the Only Charger

something About Dan, inc pnly SnarSeT
the General Rode.
General McClellan's fayorite war
horse, usually called Dan, was a dark
bay, about II hands high, well bred,
with good action and never showing
signs of fatigue, no matter how long
the course. He was an extremely hand
some, snowy animal, with more than
ordinary horse sense. Dan was very
fast walker-an important requisite in Il
commanders charger-but disagree
able accomplishment so far as his staff
were concerned, as their horses in gen
eral We're kept on slow trot
After the war Dan became the family
horse at General McClellan's country
home in Orange, and seemed to be proud
of his position, performing his duties
well and easily. On one occasion, when
driven to a neighboring estate by two
ladies of the generals family, sad left
united, as usual, at the door, Dan came
to the conclusion that they had remained
long enough for an afternoon call, so,
declining to waste any more time there,
he trotted back to his stable, carefully

vehicles met ON the way home Dan
died and was buried in Orange.
The general said of him: Dan was
one of those horses that could trot all
day long at a very rapid gait, which
kept all other horses at gallop. He
earned from the aids the title of that
devil Dana name that he justified on
many long and desperate ride before l
gave up the command of the Army of
the Potomac. Dan was the best horse |
ever had He was never i'll for an hour,
never fatigued, never disturbed under
fire The dear old fellow survived the
war for many years, dying at q ripe old
age in 1879. No matter how long we
might be parted-once for nearly four
years-he always recognized me the mo-
ment we met again and in his own way
showed his pleasure at seeing me. Even
on the day of his death, which was a
painless one, he still attempted to rise
and greet me, but, unable to do so, he
would lean his head against me and lick
my hand. No soldier ever had Il more

The growth of the English language
during the present century has been
without parallel in the history of any

the English and American people with
all the nations of the earth have brought

that there are words in common use in
