The Rut of Monntnnr.

Nothing in the world charms like va
rlety. Human nature is so constituted
mat 1t demands different phase of af-
lars almost every day, and the wisest of
human beings is that one who recognizes
ana caters 10 this quality in all forms and
manners.
There Is certain key in the multiplcX
organ of humanity, however, which loves
sameness, and this should b. recognized
IN the seeker after effects Of variety.

the others of his kind, will yet chafe and

Charming Persian Women.

Travellers assure us that the women of
Persia are the most charming of their
sex in oriental countries. The mystery
that surrounds them, their own fatalstic
er,1ity, the limitations which are placed
n their lives, in word, lend pccul-
and unfaiing interest to all that con
sse,ns them.
1t is well to sweep away some cobwebs
of prejudice in considering the character
and status of the women of Persia. They
are not i'll used, they are not unwilling
y prisoners, they do not resent the re-
straints of the harem and they do not re
gard themselves as victims of misfortune.
Strange as it may seem to us. the Persian
woman is a happy woman. She is CON
tent, placid and untroubled by either
"nerves" or the fads of the new WON
an"
A distinguished Frenchman in descrb-
ing them says: 1.-THE regular life which
the women of Persia lead is the potent
cause of { cir beauty. They neither gam

that life in the seraglio is more conducive
to health than to pleasure. 1t is calm,
untroubed life. Everything in it is con-
nected with subordnation and duty.
Even its pleasures are serious and its
joys austere and are all in themselves
significant of authority and dependence"
The dress of Persian ladies is more
snowy than tasteful, more picturesque
than modest, according to European ideas.
1t should. however be remembered at
once that what might seem immodest in
the western world is regarded as quite
natural in the east. The "char-kadd,"

Women of all countries have an inner.
ent love for precious stones, which are
supposed to exercise some subtle magnet
ism upon their natures; hence the latter
day craze for some mascotic jewel, sur
vival of medieval superstition. Upon
impressionable people certain gems APP
pear to WELD a potent influence. Who
has not listened to weird tales of some
heirloom talisman, which, when lost or
stolen, presaged the ruin of noble
house? a person with a vivid imagina-
ton might even believe in the theory Of
the Pythagoreans, who formulated the
doctrine that inanimate as well as ami
mate things are endowed with souls. Ger
tain evolutionists of today trace the
origin of man back to stones, asserting
that in their adamantine boSoms they
contain the all pervading essence of
spirit and that the spark emitted from
their crystalline hearts is the revelation
of the imprisoned soul within.
From time immemorial jewels have
served as propitiatory offerings at holy
shrnes, as tokens of amity from one
crowned head to another, as mystic mes
sengers of affection between distant
friends, as pledges of consistency eXchang-
ed between plighted lovers. Men have
bled and died, kingdoms have crumbled,
families have been rent asunder, husband
and wife parted over the disputed pos
session of some coveted jewel. Perhaps

Almost half million rural residents
of the United States axe now served
by this great public enterprise. There
have been no late general reports
showing the full scope of the service,
but almost Il year ago the routes en-
braced an aggregate area of more than
1000 square miles, and the 400 carriers
traverScd routes the total length OF
which was close to 5000 miles, distri-
buting within the twclvemonth up
wards of 100000 pieces of mail.
And this, it must be remembered, was
when there Were only about half as
many rural routes as at present. With
out wishing to burden the reader with
statistics it may be reiterated that in
no other way may an adequate idea OF
the wonderful growth of this system
be given. In the year from July |,
1898 to July 1, 1899, there was an in
crease of over 240 carriers serving an
additional population of more than
100000. and delivering G,100,O0O pieces
of mail in excess of what was handled
the year previous Then in turn in the
six months from July 1, 1899, to No
vemb,r 1. 1899 Qor the full yearly ap-
preparation was exhausted in six
months), there was an increase of al
most go routes, serving 100000 people
who had not previously had the SER
vice. This great extension of the SER
vice entails an average annual cost Of
only 81 cents for each person served

He was very young, about 13, this
boy who spent most Of his time in the
studio watching the artists draw and
paint, and wishing he could do the
same.
"What kind of pencils do you use?"
he said one day; and they gave him
one of the kind. That night he tried
to make figure he had seen one Of
the artists draw, it seemed 50 easy.
But he could not do the same kind Of
work.

of paper did not help him any.

4 few years of impatient waiting
passed before he secured the "neces-

them all, and still found it impossi-
BILE to draw, the truth dawned upon
him. '..'

ANOTHER ACCIDENT
Boy Accidentally Shot Through
the Head by Friend.

Lynn, Mass, Oct. 11.-While three
Lynn boys, Is to II years of age-Stephen
Negeson, Joseph Greeley and Hugh
Driscoll-were on a cunning trip In the
Lynn woods, yesterday, Negeison was
shot through the head with a revolver in
the hands of Drscoll.
Driscoll had revolver in which were
two cartridges. Greeley took It and fired
one of the charges then handed 1t to
Driscoll, who snapped the trigger twice
in an attempt to discharge the remaining
chamber. On the third trial the cart
ridge exploded, and Negeison, who was
about four feet away, received the ball
in his head, 1t entering back of the
right ear and coming out over the left
eye.
Negeison fell to the ground. Driscoll,
who was evidently terribly frightened,
ran to pond close by and threw the
weapon in the water, then hurried home
as fast as possible, where he told what
had happened.
Young Negeison was brought to his
home, and from there removed to hos
pital. The physicians say the brain was
penetrated. and that the boy cannot re-
cover. There Is no reason to believe
that the shooting was other than purely
accidental, as the boys were great
friends.

Turned Into Legitimate Channels.
Gardiner, Me-, Oct. 1.-THE grand
lodge of Good Templars last evening
was addressed by Rev. Samuel +. Pear
son, sheriff elect of Cumberland county,
who said:
Amidst the many issues which have
been presented to the people by the two
old parties, there is one that far exceeds
any other in interest and intrinsic value
TO the people of this nation-i c. the
traffic in intoxicating beverages. The
figures taken from the statistical bureau
at Washington show that the value of
liquor from which the revenue was coll
lected amounts to $1,000. $40, 900, which
amount far exceeds the coinage Of both
gold and silver in the whole world for the
year from Jan. l. 1898, to Jan. /. 1899. and
would pay our whole national debt and
leave q handsome balance in the treas
ury"

of the people has been manifest to every
unbiased investigator of the world In
tna multiplicity or savings Institutions
and by the large deposits of the wage
earners of the commonwealth In re-
gard to the cry that business interests
will be ruined, different kinds Of trade
will be scattered and that the outlook

has been going through the llegitimate

which the provision dealers. dry goods
