A vivid account of the daily life Of
tho shah Of Persia il contributed to The
Illustrated Magazine by Mr.. J. +. Fra
ser, who visited Teheran in the course
of his world 3 tour on 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 swoetencd tea. Then ut about
8 o'clock he receives his ministers. IIo
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

Knives and forks arc things unknown

with his hngers--greased rice, mutton
and fruit.
During breakfast extracts from Eu-
ropean papers, chiefly French, are read
10 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

I0WA'S BLIND MARVEL.
Bercft of Sight, This Deaf Mute
Makes Intellectual
Strides.

Linnie H~aguewood is n remarkable blind
deaf mute, whose mental training has been
more remarkable even than that of Helen
Keller. When but IS months old she was
bereft of speech, sight and hearing by a
serious illness. Her parents were poor and
could do nothing but keep her at home
without education of any kind, SO that her
mind remained a blank until she was IA
years of age, when. as told by the Chicago
Record. the child happened TO meet a Mr..
French. of Dubuque. who had her sent 10
the school for the blind and deaf at Vim
ton. III.
There she remained for two years be-
fore she had a special teacher. She at.
tended the kindergarten classes and
grasped all she could from the work given
the other children. At the Kindergarten
Miss Dora Donald was the teacher. The
other members of the school could talk
and hear. Miss Donald was drawn toward
L.innie. sympathiZing with her efforts to
become acquainted with the outside world.
Finally an arrangement was made by
which Miss Donald could devote her en-
tire time to I.innie. and from then the
child's education really began.
The task at first seemed hopeless. The

NO WOMEN IN HIS CLASSROOM.
Allow the Girls of Barnard Col

Brander Matthews has again come into
newspaper notice because of his refusal
to allow the girls of Barnard college to
attend his classes in the Columbia univer-
sity. He is the only professor of that Gel
ebrated institution. of which Seth Low is
the president. who has taken this deter
mined stand against the weaker sex.
Mr.. Matthews is the professor of English
literature in this university. 1t is not yet
clear whether he deems the feminine mind
unable to cope with the studies which
he directs or not. As for Mr. Matthews
himself, he picked out a wife for himself
from among the ladies who make stage
dancing their profession. The home life
% this couple has always been most beau
tiiul in character. and the "Brander Mat
thcwS evenings are features of New York
life.
Mr.. Matthews is a man of affairs. He
locks after the financial end of his late
fathers estate-and it is not inconsider-
able. he writes for three magazines and
many weeklies. Occasionally HI puts out
Il play and it is nearly always successful.
In personal appearance he Is a large built
man. with rather rough features. but with

manners. He ranks first among littcra-
