"A man and girl-that most ancient
of combinations-with its endless
chain of possibilities-are seated side

Persia Has No Summer Rain.

There is no rain in Persia during the
GUNNER months, and the land is bar
rem except where there are streams of
water for irrigation. The mountain
streams are conducted in an under
ground channels, formed by digging
pits, about thirty feet apart, and tun-
neling from one to the other. This
prevents the evaporation of the water
by the sun, and at the same time
usually finds a clay bottom so that
there is not so much lost by absorption
and leakage. Little channels branch
off from time to time, and bring some
carried about in little bitches, to water
the CROPS.

The Burr and Hamilton Families.

Mrs. Elizabeth Burr Hamilton, said
to be the last member of the seventh
generation of the Burr family, who
died at Bridgeport, Conn.,, at the age
of 80, was the fifth cousin Of Aaron
Burr, the third vice president of the
United States, who killed Alexander
Hamilton. the lawyer and statesman,
in a duel in 1904. Her death recalls the
fact that, though the families of Burr
and Hamilton were the most bitter en-
emies at the beginning Of the last CEN
fury, love found way 80 years after
the famous duel to bring the families
together again by the marriage of
Elizabeth Burr and Alexander Hamil-
ton in 1886.
