The Zionists eschew all swine's flesh,

The Zionists were founded less than

a minister Of education in Australia.

How Children Are Named In Persia.

In Persia the naming of children is a
matter of chance, a sort of lottery de-
Gliding what name the infant shall car
ry through life. In Persia this cere-
mony, performed in the house Of birth,
is important and elaborate. All the
relatives, even those living at a dis
lance, are brought together, and the
priests of the locality are invited. Aft
er the meal, which Is served as a well
come, is eaten. the new addition to
Persia's population is placed in the
center of the room on a rug. The
guests form a circle around the child.
One of the priests writes five names.
previously agreed upon, on five slips
of paper, and distributes these among
the leaves of the Koran. He then
reads a chapter from the book and
at random picks one of the slips.
Whatever name this slip bears then be-
m the name of the child. 1t is
whispered into the ear of the newborn
by the priest, and the slip Of paper
is then hidden in the baby's clothes.

THE SUL.TAN'S MANNERS.

His Quiet Dignity, Pleasing Smile and
Unusually Sympathetic Voice.
AS to the sultan's working habits, I
have known him to be at work at five
in the morning and keep a whole staff
of secretaries going at that hour who
had slept overnight on couches in the
rooms in the palace they habitually
work in, says Harper's Magazine.
Munir Pasha, the imperial grand mas
ter of ceremonies, and one of the most
kindly, distinguished men it is posi-
BILE to meet, once said to me: "There
is one characteristic of his majesty
which conveys a constant lesson to us
all; it is his extraordinary self-control
his impressive calm. 1t is almost
sublime. No ~contrariety, no trial,
seems able to rufIle his perfect self
possession. 1t is truly marvellous
The prepossessing impression which
the sultan is universally admitted to
produce on those who are privileged
to ONE into contact with him is
doubtless in part due to that charm OF
manner, that quiet dignity, so free
from angular self-assertion, which is
more or less characteristic of all we'll
bred Turks. But in his case it is sup
plemented by a pleasing smile and an
unusually sympathetic voice, the notes
of which always seem to convey a
pleasant impression, even to the
stranger who is unable to understand
n his majesty has said until it is
translated by the interpreter. The
sultan usually gives audiences on Fri
day after the ceremony of the Selam,
Xix, when he wears a Turkish gen
erals uniform, with the star OF the
Initial order in brilliants hung from
his neck. As he sits in front of you
with his hands resting on the hilt o
his sword before him, and you watcf
him speak to Munir Pasha in his quiet
dignified way, you cannot resist tn,
impression OF his picturesque dignity

warmer-the sea and sky more clear
the atmosphere more rarefed. The
wind was so steady that scarcely a
sheet or tack was altered. Thus for
several days we bore on with both
sheets aft, as the phrase is, when run
ming right before the wind.
Shoals of pOrpoises plunged across
the bows of the brig in the sapphire
colored sea. and when it was smooth
a whole fleet of the little nautili
passed us with purple sails up; nor
were the dark and gliding sharks and
the silvery hying-fish wanting at times
to keep my attention excited: and the
tiny petrels, as they came tripping
along, half in the water and half in
tho air, kept pace with the Eugene,
as she cracked on under a press OF
ploughing Sc freely and so fearlessly
the deep waters that hide a finny world
and wash the dark and unknown base
ments of the earth.
One glorious morning, when we were
within a few days sail of ~Hispaniola,
there occurred u circumstance which
was afterward a source of the deepest
regret to us all; how and why, will be
shown during the progress of my story.
The day was fine, even for hat re-
gion of fine days. The Eugene was
running smoothly before the wind, and
Hislop, with considerable animation,

Not There to Talk.

People who talk during a theatrical

tertainment of any kind, in a manner
to cause annoyance to their ~neighbors

AN EARTHQUAKE SCIENTIST.
Tommy Had Found the Almanac in TIE
Garret.

This occurred just before the last
full moon at a pretty residence on
Trumbull avenue, says the Detroit Free
Press. The head of the house is of a
scientific turn of mind, loves to inves-
tigate the phenomena of nature and
takes it as a part of his duty to impart
his knowledge to the rest Of the fam
lily. On the night in question he found
an almanac on the table, which he
reads. Turning the leaves carelessly
while thinking about going to bed, he
was surprised to come upon the in
formation that there was to be an
almost total eclipse of the moon that
night, and that it would be visible
from this part of the globe at / a. IN.
In his excitement he was about to call
the rest of the folks, who had retired,
but on second thought he hunted up
broken bits of glass and went tC
smoking them, just as though it were
the blazing sun which was to be
viowed. This done he watched the
clock v~igilantly until it was time tc
wake the others. They had none Of
his enthusiasm, but went yawning anC
shivering to the back porch, from
which the best view was to be OBJ,
