RaisingLthe Wind.

When a certain late shah of Persia
became temporarily embarrassed for
money he had quite unique method OF
filing his purse. He would go to the
market, where, after examining the
shops, he would selec: one, and, turning
to the proprietor, would say: will you
take me in as partner in your busi-
ness for the day?' The offer was, Of
course, accepted. The shah would take
his seat near the shop entrance, and
say to his courtiers, whom he always
took with him on these occasions:
"Now, I'm the salesman. Who'll buy?'
The latter, not daring to refuse the
offers Of the royal merchant, set about
Dclearing the shop of its contents, pay
ing sometimes $3.50 for goods that were
not worth $50. No one was allowed
to beat down prices or to leave the
place without making purchases. When
everything was sold the shah had list
of the cost price of each article made
out, and Loyalty shared with the shop
keeper the amount Of the profit real

GERMAN pLAYwR1GHTs' PAY.
Earnings of oStlle and others COM
pared with Those OF tine writ
ers of Modern Times.

The condition Of the playwrights IN
Germany has changed since Lessins
lived and wrote. In spite of "M1nna Won
Barnheim,'' Emilia uolotti,' Nathan
der Weise" and his other plays, Lesslhs
was so poor when he died that he had
to be buried at the cost OF the state.
Most of the dramatists of the pc
riod to which Goethe and Schiller be
longed either held an official place OF
some kind or were the recipients OF
fayors from patrons. To Goethe, the
publisher Gotta paid in all 100000 in
royalties, but it is not possible to sep
arate the royalties paid for the plays
from those from bis books. The publish
ers of Goethe's works have paid more
than 100000 to his heirs, says the New
York SUN:
The Berlin National theater began
first iii 1890 to pay German dramat1sts
adeuuate sums for their work. To
Kotzebue went the highest royalties.
Schiller received about s11o for Don
Carlos.'' Gotta, the first publisher OF
most of Schiller's plays, was. as "a
rule, very liberal to him and when the
performance Of .Wallenstein,' III stutt-
CART, Vas forbidden BY the censor, he
paid him the royalties, nevertheless.
I>'rhe highest sum that Schiller ever re-
ceived for single play came from
the management of the Berlin Court
theater. For the right to produce
| civilian Tell'' three months before
any other theater in Germany he got
$340 The poet and his heirs received
in all about $75, ,OGO from his publishers.
| Of course, contemporary writer's re-
| ceived much larger sums. Sudermann
and Hauptmann receive to-day the
largest royalties paid in Germany. Tn
! til Honor was produced in Berlin, in
/ 1889, the literary fame of Sudermann
! was limited to a very small circle. But
/ his reputation was made from that
! night and he is said to have earned IL
royalties from Honor alone abou
SIS, 600. And it is still played regular
! " in all the German theaters.

A "Tapestry Settlement" is one OF
the interesting developments OF the
near future in the American bandi-
crafts movement. 1t will be organized
by firm which recently opened store
on Fortieth street, in New York, IN
which they carry only handsome
goods. For the location, they desire
place where wool is raised, and where
there are woman who still spin and
weave. Such place they can find IN
both in Ohio and West Nir-
ginia, and they will locate DUR
ing the coming summer in one
of those states. They will offer
price for certain fabrics woven ac-
! cerding to their requirements, winch
will make better market for the WOOL
than the farmers are now obtaining.
Then they will send an instructor
among the weavers to furnish designs
and improve methods, says Every
| body's Magazine. This instructor they
| have already Secured in the person OF
a woman who has made study OF

produce all kinds of textiles. but the
