LAND OF OMAR KHAYYAM.
a Country Likely to Come into Creator
Importance.

a country Likely Co Come into Greater
Importance.
It is probable that the American re-
spects Persia for only two things-its
carpets and the Rubaiyat of Omar
Khayyam. Beyond these two there is
little known Of the country, save that
1t was once ruled by Darius, Cyrus and
Xerxes, and that Babylon and Nine
yah were once its chief cities. But the
British foreign office and the Russian
minister of foreign affairs know that
the land has been a bone Of contention
between the two countries for upward
idly approaching when it must be di-
vided, so that the Persian problem
may be removed from the diplomatic
arena. 1t is currently reported that
the appointment of Lord Curzon to the
viceroyalty Of India was because OF
his great familiarity with the Persian
question. No man in England is bet
ter fitted to deal with the proposed
partition of the shah's domain than he,
for his long residence at Teheran and
his subsequent studies of the question
have made him absolute master of it's
smallest details. The proposal is to
divide the country by a rough line
running east and west through the CEN
ter, giving the northern section to Rus
STA and the southern half to India. AS
matters stand now, Persia is going
from bad to worse. She has no laws,
save those imposed by the powerful;
no justice, save that which is pur-'
c%hasable; no state treasury, save the
shah's private purse, and no enter
prise, save that which is Russian, or
English. Divided into two sections by
a desert that runs through the center,
and without railroads save those or
ganized and run by Europeans for
their own purposes, which are chiefly
military, the nation has no united
feeling, and it's national pride has
been hopelessly crushed out by a cor
rupt aristocracy. Russia is binding
the northern section to herself by
means of a network of railroads which
are connected with the Siberian sys-
TEN, while England has constructed
railroads in the southern section which
tie it to India. With the death Of
Musafer-ed-din the country is expected
to fall in halves, naturally, but if it
does not, then the two nations most
interested will see that it occurs
promptly.

Old Irish War Cries.


Like the modern cowboy yell Of the
western troops in the Cuban campaign,
the war cries and slogans of the an
cient Irish clans often had much effect
in inspiring fear in the enemy and
courage and enthusiasm in the COM
mand. The simplest and most fire.
quent of old Erin's war cries was
"Faire, faire," signifying watch" or
"1ook out" 1t was precautionary sig
nal and was commonly written Ear
rah." From it the modern 'hurrah''
is supposed to have been derived. An
other cry was GA buaidh," which
meant "to the victory" 1t was pro-
nounced "aboo,' and followed the
name of the clan, or leader, according
to circumstances, like "O'Neill aboo,''
or "Clann Conail aboo." Frequently
"a buaidh" is construed incorrectly in
modern English to mean forever"
That translation applies to "go brath,' u
but not "a buaidh." The famous Irish
cry of Flag an bealach," meaning
"clear the way" scared the spunk out
of the French soldiery in the PENN
sular war.

Stamninr Fire Arms

Orders issued by the German West
African officials that all firearms in
the hands of natives shall be stamped
and registered have aroused much dis
content. Lieut.. Eggers, in Damara-
land, however, got along with no trou-
ole. He had innoculated cattle for the
riderpest three years before, as the Da-
maras saw, with good results. He
therefore announced that he was ready
to vaccinate their rifles so as to insure
their shooting straight and doing no
hurt to their owners, and the Damaras
crowded to him to get their guns
stamped.-London Letter to New York

DISEASE OF HOUSE NERVES"
Prevalent In the Past, but Conquered by
Athletics.

Athletics.
2 The new woman is so much Of an
outdoor woman that she is rarely che
victim or the complaint to which wom-
en- of a less energetic age were sub
ject. Yet@"house nerves" used to be
a specific complaint recognized by doc
tors. It's victims were always women.
Never was a man known to suffer
from the ailment. Only the women
who stayed at home felt the effects of
it, which came wholly from lack of
sufficient enjoyment of ou~t-of-door life.
The amount of time which women
sometimes spend indoors astonishes
them when the hours are estimated by
a physician. The results oil the dis
order were usually a depression and
nervousness, which manifested them
selves quite as other nervous ailments
do. 1t was surprising how frequently
young women complained of these dis
comforts, although the majority of the
sufferers was made up Of old women:
House nerves are a thing OF the past
now" said a physician the other day;
"the exact opposite is the trouble now,
eve If it has not yet received a name.
Street nerves would, I suppose, be the
right thing to call it. The only wom-
en- who have house nerves nowadays
are the kind that cannot get out Of
the house much because they are either
i'll or old. 1 have never seen anything
to equal the desire of women to be
constantly on the go. / see young girls
IN Fifth avenue when / am paying
my calls who are to be found there
with such regularity that half their
time must be spent in the streets. I
don't know when they are ever at
home. 1t is not enough that they go
out Immediately after breakfast, and
again after lunch start on a round of
visits or shopping OF something that
keeps them until nearly Z. They must
go out again Immediately after din
ner, if o to the theater, to some
substitute for it. That is the daily
course of most young women I know,
as we'll as of a number who are not
so young-who are at least old enough
to find some comfort in their homes.
But the whole tendency of their lives
is to get out of the house as soon as
they can in the morning and stay out
until the last moment. Maybe this is
only a passing tendency among wom-
en-, likely to continue no longer than
the conditions which created house
nerves. Perhaps the new state of at
fairs is better, although I am not SO
sure of it. The fact is that n is as
unnatural as the other was. Both are
too excessive to be advantageous. The
house nerve epidemic did not continue
so long as this one. Women are said
10 be stronger to-day and generally
healthier than they ever were. So
suppose the new disorder has a bet
ter effect on their constitutions in the
long run than the old did.

TO GROW DATES IN ARIZONA.
The Agricultural Departments Agent Is
Studying the African Palm

The Agricultural Departments Agent Is
Studying the African Palm.
The most expert pathologist Of the
agricultural department, DR.. Zwingle,
is now in Morocco on a mission which
the department hopes will launch a
new and profitable industry in the
most arid sections of our southwest,
says a Washington correspondent OF
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
1t has been found that date palms with
some irrigation will grow as well in
Arizona as in Arabia. Early mormon
settlers in the territory proved this
many years ago, but the trees were not
of the best variety and date growing
never developed as an industry. The
agricultural department has prepared
to push the experiment on an extensive
scale, however. DR.. Zwingle is max
ing a close study of the African date
palm, selecting the very finest varie-
ties and those best adapted to u arid
region. These young trees will be
carefully shipped to Arizona, where
they will be planted and cared for I'M
der the close supervision of the depart
ment's experts. The plants will cost
the department about SIS each laid
down in Arizona.

The Voice of London.

A writer in the Strand Magazine de-
enced when, riding over London in a
balloon, at a height of more than half
a mile, he heard the deafening oar of
the great city beneath him, as it could
not be heard when on the ground. The
noise, even at that height, was so harsh
and intense as to be painful to the ear.
How perfect a sound conductor the air
is was shown when the balloon drifted
far over the city to a wooded part of
the country, where the murmur of the
leaves moved by the wind, half a mile
below, was distinctly heard.

route took the wire over the cottage
of an old lady, to whom he applied for
permission TO make the slight use of

made a firm stipulation at the same
