From the American Revolution to
the year 1923 the officers of the
militia of the State Of New York had
been appointed by the Council Of Ap'
pointment upon the recommendation
Of commanding officers Of divisions,
brlgades and regiments, and the pro.
motions were generally made accord
ing to rank and seniority. Under the
new constitution and the militia law
of 1923, and in accordance with the
democratic spirit of the period, the
election of military officers became
the established usage, and has con.
tinued until the present day. The
election of officers in 1923, and fol.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Try and understand your neighbOr,
and you will be understood.
Noble natures pay confidence with
gratitude, ignoble ones with treachery.
Time is a grateful friend; use it well,
and it never fails to make suitable
re1uital.
1t takes n genius to compel himself
to like the dlsasreeable tasks he has
to perform.
Buffoonery is the corruption of wit,
as knavery is the corruption Of
knowledge.
The business of the head is to form
a good heart, and not merely to rule
an evil one, as is generally imagined.
Some persons virtues are so dis
agreeably self-sufficient that they
make their friends more charitable tc
humber vices.
Raise not your wits credit at the
expense Of your judgment. Many a
friend has been sold for a jest with
Folly for auctioneer.
Prejudice and partiality limit atten
tion to what fayors our side, and thus
as it were makes us deaf In one ear
and blind in one eye.
Have as little as possible to do with
people you cannot trust; when or
marsby ground tread lightly, and get
over it as rapidly as you can.
1t is harder and often finer to endure
the injustice and caprice Of the world
than TO die for it, for the world needs
noble lives more than noble deaths.
A man is relieved and gay when he
has put his heart into his work and
done his best; but what lie has said OF
done otherwise shall give him nc
peace.
Exclude the exclusive and they will
but knock the harder Men and women
are like shadows; follow your shadow
and 1t will keep just ahead of you
turn and flee and it will follow you.
Courtesy opens with her silver key
doors which even the golden key OF
wealth fails to unlock, and tact sue
ceeds where even truth fails If she
forces her way, and discretion is the
perfection Of reason.

TIE THEATRE IN PERSIA.
Religious Performances In the Month o.
Mourning Attended by Women.


Religious Performances in the Month Of
Mourning Attended by Women.
The Persian theatre like that Of
European countries, presents both
tragedies and comedies. The serious
dramas are the means Of religious and
political propaganda, while the comic
plays deal with the evils in public
life and the weaknesses and burdens
Of the powerful.
The religious dramas are an inheri-
tance from the old Persian rites, and
are similar to the old English miracle
plays. They are called in Persian
"Thasleh" or holy plays. They at
first consisted only Of songs Of lamen-
tation in memory Of the murder Of
Hassan and Hussein, the sons of Ali.
son-in-law of the Prophet. Then they
developed into tragedies that continued
to treat always OF the troubles Of
the house of Ali
The festival performances continue
always for nine days and during this
period the strict rules of tho harem
are relaxed and the women are al
lowed - attend the theatre. The wives
Of the Shah also attend N an enclosed
box.
The theatre in Tcheran looks like a
circus, the performance taking place
on stage in the middle Of the build
ing. which is not supplied with either
curtain or scenery. Great expense is,
on the other hand, layished on the cos
tunes and professions that are a large
part of the performances. These "Tha-
slehs," which take place only in the
month of mourning Moharrem, have
almost the character Of a religious
ceremony. The admission is free, and
there is no applause. There is, on the
contrary frequent lamentatlon from
the audience, which is likely to be
moved by its emotion to sudden out
breaks.
In addition to the principal theatre
ut Teheran during the month of
mourning, there are in other cities and
at the other small courts, perform
ances of the religious plays. Every
pious Persian Of the necessary wealth
thinks it his duty to provide for these
performances in tle improvlsed thea.
tres and public squares for the benefit
Of the poor and others who cannot see
the official performances at Teheran.
Farces are, on the other hand. acted
during the entire year by wandering
troups Of actors. who, like the aero
bats and animal tanners Of other lands,
pitch their tents In the public squares.
They play e-temporizeG farces large
ly, which deal with the important
and wealthy persons of the town. The
scandals of the town. and politics also,
enter into these pieces In addition to
these two kinds Of dramatic perform.
ances, there are travelling troups Of
mariOrettes that are very popular with
the people.-New York Sun.
