Bcautiful marble.

That beautiful transparht stone
called Tabriz marble. much used in the
burial places of Persia and in their
grandest edifces, consists of the petri-
fed water of ponds in certain parts OF
the country The petriflcation may be
traced from its commencement to its
termination. In one part the water is
clear, in a second it appears thicker
and stagnant, in a third quite black
and in the last stage it is white like
frost. When the operation is COM
plete stone thrown on It's surface
makes no impression and one may walk
over II without wetting ones shoes.
The substance thus produced is brittle
end transparent, and sometimes richly
striped with red, green and copper
color. SO much is this marble, which
may be cut into large slabs, looked
ulon as a luxury that none but the
king, his sons and persons especially
privileged are permitted to take 1t.

Anredote of R.eert Bnrna.

Robert Burns was once standing up
on the quay at Greenock when veal
thy merchant belonging to that town
had the misfortune to fall in the har-
Dor. A sailor plunged in, and, at tho
risk Of his own life, rescued the mer-
chant, who could not swim. When
the escued man was restored to con-
seriousness it was found that the fright
and the wotting were the only bad con-
sequences of his mishap. Calling for
the sailor, his preserver, the merchant,
presented him with his thanks and a
shilling. The crowd loudly protested
against such shabby conduct, but
Burns, with a scornful smile, begged
them to be silent, "for, said he. "the
gentleman must know best what his
life is worth"

the head by golf balls driven in an &C.
centric manner by beginners at the

also objects to having the windows OF
her home suddenly fall to pieces in a
most disquieting way. II was to stop

Kentucky Sarcasm.

After endorsing all that the admin
istration of President Mckinley has
done-o is likely to do, the Kentucky
republican convention adopted the
following: -
ave: con ratulate the republican
party that the existing federal legis-
lation,for the suppression of harmful
trusts, pools and combinations, is the
work of a republican congress. per-
formed during the administration of n
republican president, and we congrat-
ulate the country that in the suppress
sion of injurious combinations, as it
has done in the past and as it will do
in the future, it has due regard for
the interests of Legitimate business,
the purpose of such legislation being
the remedy for wrong. and not en-
barrassment to the industry, enter
prise or thrift of business concerns"
The republicans of the blue grass
state are nothing if not sarcastic. In
this particular instance the trait is so
strikingly presented as to challenge
admiration as well as to occasion mer-
riment. 1t is part and parcel of the
history of the country that trusts
have formed and flourished since the
advent of the present administration
as they never have before. And al

How He worked the Artist.

This account of how an intimate
friend of the great artist Kyosai obtain
ed one of the painters drawings is
from Mrs. Hugh Frazer's Letters from
Japan
Kyosai always refused if asked out
right for n sketch. So his friend began
the negotiation by Offering the artist an
excellent dinner. When Kyosai had
drunk deeply and seemed in a mellow
humor. his host would call for drawing
materials, saying that he felt an artis-
tic fancy taking possession of him. No
one was surprised. as japanese gentle
men often amuse themselves in this way
after feast. The servant then brought
an enormous sheet of white paper and
spread it ON the floor with the brushes
and Indian ink beside it. ,
The crafty host, without looking at
his guest, sank on his knees and began
to draw, apparently absorbed in his oc-
cupation, but Intentionally producing
few weak and incoherent lines. Kyosai
watched the feeble effort in silence and
growing irritation, and at last jumped
mp, dashed the tyro aside and tore the
brush out of his hand, exclaiming:
''Out of the way, you wretehed bum
glerl 1 will teach you how to draw
And the result was priceless sketch.
which remained in the possession of the
willy entertainer.
