A SELFISH SHAH.
The high Prices Of Persian Lamb capes
Accounted Ror.

Accounted For.
The shah Of Persia may be only in
the 80 class in matters Of diplomacy
and he does not dare exactly to slap
Queen Victoria or Kaiser Wilhelm on
the back when the potentates chance TO
meet, but, 20 far as matters in Persia
are concerned, when the shah makes a
law it is generally enforced TO the letter.
A case in point may be cited in the
matter Of Persian lambskin- Persian
lambskins are and have long been an
article Of staple demand in the COM
mereial world. They have commanded
sach good prices that the supply was
hardly equal to the demand. Conse-
quently, when the shah one day ordered
spring lamb with mint sauce, the cook
was obliged 20 confess that the dish was
beyond the command Of the Persian
treasury. OF course the cook was
promptly beheaded. but the shah could
not find another cook who would agree
to furnish spring lamb whenever his
majesty desired 70 indulge IN that deli
cacy.
This naturally irritated the shah
After consulting with three or four Of
his most trusted advisers, who could see
no way out Of the difficulty cad who
consequently disappeared nom their
homes and society N a mysterious man
ner, the shah finally decided that the
commerce of Persia was threatened by
the extinction Of Persian sheep and Per-
sian lambs. Consequently he made a
decree that any person found with lamb
skins in his possession for purposes OF
trade or conImercs would be fined heav
lily. Since then the export trade in Per-
sian lambskins has stopped with 3
blunt and nauseating jar.-Boston Ad

OUR DEBT TO eUMeLEsEEs.
The Part These B1sy Workers Play In the
Fertilization Of Flowers.

Fertilization OF Flosers-
Barney HOskin Standish writes an
article on THE Bumbiebee" for St
Nicholas. Mr.. Standish says; The work
Of the bumblebee in bringing about the
cross fertilization of flowers q as i'm
po-tant as that Of the honeyote, and
these two stand at the head Of the list
of insects useful in this respect. Each
has its flowers which it alone visits,
but there are many flowers on neutral
ground visited by both. So we may
say of the brmblebee, as Of the honey
bee, the more bumblebees the more
seeds; the more seeds the more flowers
especially wild flowers, as the tall
belIhower, touch me not, solomon 5 seal,
gcntian, Dutchmen's breeches and tur-
tie head. But probably the most impOr-
tant work this insect does for agricul-
ture is upon the fields Of red clover
There is abundant proof that this plant
will not produce seed without the CO
operation Of the bumblebee Il is i'm
possible for the wind 70 bring about the
fertilization of the seed, as it may do
in the case Of Indian com, grain and
some forest trees. The tube Of nd clo-
yer blossoms, too. 5 50 long that other
insects (inclnding the honeybee) are
not regular visitants.
Here is proof that this plant must
have visits from the bumblebee. This
insect is not native Of Australia, and
red clover failed to produce seed there
until bumblebees were imported AS
soon as they became numerous the plant
could be depended upon for seed.
Again, the blossoms of the first crop Of
the Medium Red clover of our own
cOantry are Just as perfect as those Of
the second crop, but there are too few
bumblebees in the field, 50 early in the
season, TO produce fertilization, hence
little or no seed in this crop. If humble
bees were sufficiently numerous, there
is 70 reason why much larger yields of
clover seed might not be expected than
at present
Here is what a we'll informed farmer
says about it:
''It was formerly thought that the
world rested on the shoulders Of Atlas
can prove that its prosperity rests on
the bumblebee- The world cannot pros
per without the farmers product. The
farm will not be productive without
clover. We cannot raise clover without
seed. and we cannot have clover seed
without the bumblebee, because it is
this insect that carries the pollen from
flower 20 flower, securing its develop
ment and continuance. Let Us learn 70
know and 20 protect our friends

TWO WAYS OF LOOKING.
II All Saw Things Alike. This Would Be
an Uninteresting World

II All saw Things Alike, This would Be
an Uninteresting World
at is pity that moro Of US cannot
cultivate the twofold way Of looking at
things. - writes Edward W. Box IN The
Ladies' Home journal. There would
be less friction in life if we did. and
sweeter sympathy, kinder understand
ing and broader and fuller living. The
fact Is that We never reach the dignity
of true living unless we do learn this
all important lesson And that il may
be cultivated admits of no doubt Ii is
simply a question Of schooling ourselves
not to condemn generally what indi-
vidually does not happen TO be 20 our
taste. II, for example, we prefer brown
as a color, there is no reason on earth
why we should condemn the taste Of
any one who preferred to wear green.
What the vast majority Of us need is 70
be little more self poised, more judi
ciai. EiOre willing TO see good IN the
tastes Of others. although they do not
please our own particular fancies. 1t we
all thought alike. read the same books,
saw the same plays, wore the same col
ors. this would be an exceedingly unin-
teresting world
I'VE cannot see all things in the
same way, but we can come near to
justice and true respect by taking two
fold view Of things while still retaining
our strong individual views Seeing a
possible good or use for everything does
not necessarily mean weak individu-
ality. The most uncomfortable people
in the world are those who assert their
judgments in hard, decisive and final
manner, as if they were courts of last
resort. On the other hand. the bright
est and best minds are those that have
most respect for the opinions Of others.

A Vain Attempt to InocuIAte Him With
Smallpox In 1861.
During the exciting period Of 1861
safety Of the president, and every pre-
caution was taken 70 insure his person
al protection
One morning there appeared at the
White House a woman, closely veiled,
demanding al immediate interview
with Mr.. Lincoln Approaching Mes
seBger Perkins, who guarded the door
of Mr. Lincoln's private Office, the Wis
itor make known her request and plead
ed earnestly that she be admitted 70
personal interview. The dOOrkeeper's
orders were, however, very strict, and
finding her eloquence all in vain she
finally compromised by confiding her
message 70 the couEteons but firm en-
ployee. Taking him to one side, the
veiled lady seized both his hands in hers
and tenderly rubbed them as she ex-
tracted promise that he would imme-
diately deliver her request TO the preSi-
dent. Perkins was almost overcome by
a most peculiar OdOr that appeared TO
emanate from his companion and has
tened to get rid of her without creating
a scene.
No sooner had he accomplished this
than he confided 20 one Of the official
household the effect produced upon him
while IN conversation with the imp0r-
tUnate visitor. A physician who was
present promptly OWNED the truth and
instituted a search for the woman. when
it was learned that she had driven rap
IDLY away in a carriage. and all trace
was lost. Perkins was Immediately or
d'sred 20 return 10 his home and await
developments
Within the usual period he was taken

c1very the faithful messenger, whose
devotion to duty doubtless saved the life
