PERSIAN PRINCES AS PUPILS.
An English Tutors Experience with
Young Members of the shah's
HOus ehold.

We have heard how Emperor Will
liam trains his boys and how the
present king of England was brought
up, but nothing has been disclosed
concerning how the shah of Persia
trains his dusly princelets and incul-
Gates in them the principles of roy
atty and rulership.
An English tutor who was intrust-
ed with the schooling and training of
these embryo eastern potentates tells
some very interesting facts about the
bread-and-butter life in the shah's
palace and the pleasures and trials
of imparting knowledge to the little
boys who have the blood of hundred
tyrants in their veins.
This tutors name is Wilfred Spar
row, and his book is entitled Per
sian Children of the Royal Family"
There were nine of these children,
selected from the great grist of the
shah's children, as being the sons of
favorite wives. Theirroyal papa speaks
of them as the Eight of his eyes" but
if any tf the flights" misbehave their
poetic father does not hesitate to
chastise them, and his frequent ad-
monition to the tutor was not to
spare "the stick" On one occasion,
when the little princes had been par
ticularly naughty and unbearable, the
tutor thrashed one of them and left
the schoolroom.
The shah heard of this, and, max
ing his way to the Juvenile depart
ment Of his palace, sent for the tu-
tor. The tutor came and declared
the princelets wished to make a serv-
ant of him.
Whereupon the shah went down
the line and boxed each royal young
ster's ears soundly, reminded the tu-
tor that he was at perfect liberty to
use ''the stick" and departed, leav-
ing an atmosphere of calm and sub
mission behind him. But all the tu-
tors experiences with his pupils were
not of this belilgerent character. 1t
is somewhat hard to enforce disci-
pline among little boys who have
only TO make a signal for a general
in gold lace and braid to come in and
clean their states after some simple
sum, but the English tutor did this
and more. He won the esteem and
liking OF the boys. He taught them
football and played with them. His
most helpful cooperator in his work
was the favorite daughter of the
shah, who enjoys her fathers most
extravagant affection.
In order to have her always about
him. the shah dressed her in boys
clothes, and although he was obliged
to relegate her to the harem when
she became beautiful maiden, he is
determined she shall never marry, as
he does not believe there is man In
his kingdom good enough for her.
She rules her father with smile,
and her brothers adore her, says the
Detroit News-Tribune. If they re-
iuctantly received an order from the
tutor it required only the seconding
of their beloved sister to transform
their reluctance to alacrity, and to
do the double bidding with speed.
The little royalties came to the
schoolroom dressed as full-grown
men, in the court costume of Persia
But they were hearty, lusty boys, late
to the schoolroom as most boys are,
addicted to mischief, but pretty good
hovs after all

A 'POSSUM STORY.
One Instance in which the Animal
Fell Dead without Any Effort
ut Deception.

81 have heard of people dying while
they were attempting to make others
believe that they were dead" said
gentleman who lives out in one of the
parishes, relates the New Orleans
Times Democrat, "but about the
strangest case that has ever come to
my mind was that of 'possum dying
while it was pretending to be dead.
/ saw the 'possum die then, hence
have every reason to believe what
say. AS almost every one knows, the
'possum feigns death when it is
about to be caught, and after you
catch the cunning creature, if you
happen to be ignorant of its trick,
you will take it for granted that it
died of heart failure or something of
that sort, unless you are sagacious
enough to detect the respiratory
movement of its stomach. OF course,
the 'possum cannot live without
breathing, and ii does not seem to try
to stop its breath, but when it feigns
death it breathes slowly, and regular
ly as If it is asleep. At such times
you may kick it up into the air, but
the creature has q strong will and
never shows any indication of pain
then. There are two ways to make
'possum wake up when it is trying
to fool you: Firstly, get out of its
sight for awhile, when it will think
you are gone. 1t then makes a hur-
ried attempt at escape. Secondly, tie
its tail to that of a cat and suspend
them Un the clothes line. At first the
'possum will be dead, but when the
cat let's out few 'meows,' and be-
gins to bite and scratch the 'possum
awakes, and a most violent fight fol-
lows. saw such a fight some time
ago. The 'possum killed the cat, 1t
having larger mouth and having the
power to bite harder. 1t was a laugh
able scene in the beginning, but in
explicably cruel and sorrowful In the
end. But to go back to my story, i
was sitting on my gallery some time
ago and noticed that large, fat
'possum was making for an oak that
stood in my front yard. / ran for the
'possum, and it dropped. OF course,
1 thought it was trying to make me
believe that it was dead. Now, didn't
kick it TO death in attempting to
make IL move. I simply returned to
the gallery to watch some further
maneuvers on the 'rossum's part. But
there was none, and / watched until
grew tired. Then I went to the pos
sum. There was no breathing; it.was
dead. This is the 1ueerest thing j
ever saw or heard of, and / know 1t
is true, because witnessed the whole
affair"

KENTUCKY GAME Law.

One week from next Saturday,
November 18th, will see the be-
ginning of the open season for
quail, and the local sportsmen
are looking forward with pleas
ure to the time. Perhaps these
favorites OF the feathered tribes
are not numerous this season but
the enthusiasm of the hunters
will not flag on that account.
They will still hunt.
AS it happens, the season is
now "open'' for all kinds of
game. But perhaps the hunter
is not always discriminating as
to what is included under the
definition "game" in Kentucky.
There are birds often slaugh-
tered which may not legally be
killed At any time. There is no
open season for song birds or in
sectiyerous birds, and the pen
atty for killing these at any time
is the same as is prescribed for
killing game out of season.
There is, indeed, everywhere
much wanton destruction of our
beautiful song birds by mere
marksmen, and it is time the
law should be understood on
this point.
These sections cover the point :
Sec. 8. No person shall at any
time catch, kill or persue with such
intent, or haye in their possession
after the same has been caught or
killed, any thrush, meadow lark,
finch, martin, swallow, woodpecker,
flicker, oriole, red bird, tanger, cat
bird, blue bird or other song or in
sectlverous bird, except where the
same shall be destructive to the
fruit or grain crops.

WHILE WE SLEEP.
yhe Muscles and Organs of the Body
Are still Working.

II the organs of the body cannot be
said to sleep, neither can the voluntary
muscles. Witness the phenomena Of
sleepwalking, the positions In stage
coach days who slept in their saddles
and cavalrymen who do it today, In
fantry who have been known to sleep
on forced marches, sentinels who walk
their beats carrying their guns in a
fixed position while they sleep. For
all we know policemen may do it too.
People who talk In their sleep are ia
miliar to all Of us. Experiments made
by Spelr, Armstrong and Child on 200
college students Of both sexes showed
that AZ per cent Of the men and 81
per cent Of the women talked in their
sleep. A number of things might be
proved by these statistics. OF these
sleep takers one-half Of the women
and one-third Of the men are able to
answer questions while asleep. More
women than men could answer ques-
lions on any subject, not alone that of
which they had been talking. 1t has
also been found that most sleep talk
ers are under twenty-five years Of age.
Evidently. then, with the muscles
and organs of the body all working, 1t
Il the brain only that sleeps. and by
no means all Of the brain. The senses
Of sight, hearing, touch, smell and
taste may be very much awake while
the subject sleeps. A sleeping person
hears and answers questions, rear
ranges his bedclothing, covers his eyes
to keep out the light, draws away his
hand when the experimental tickles it.
A child Is broken of the habit Of suck
ing his thumb while asleep by putting
aloes ON 1t. He Is conscious Of the bit
ter taste and dreams of wormwood.
The nerves. then, and the brain cen
tiers corresponding to them are awake.
A busy lawyer. exhausted by over
work, one night went out to supper
with some friends, ate, talked and
walked with them, and the next day
remembered absolutely nothing Of the
occurrence. He had not been drinking.
The man was simply asleep during the
whole evening. His conscious mem
ory-that is. consciousness itself-slept.

HARDY SUWAROFF.
Peculiarities of One Of Russia's
Great Military Commanders.

Pecularities of One of Russia's
Great Military Commanders.
Suwaroff. Russia's great military
commander, was little man, insignifi.
cant In everything but that intangible
power Of mind and character with
which physical strength ia never to be
compared. Ee had been sickiy In his
youth, but became hardy under the
stimulus of cold bathing and the bene-
water were thrown over him In the
morning, and his table was served with
fare which guests would fain have re-
fused, but dared not lest he should
think them effeminate. He despised
dress and delighted In drilling his men
in shirt sleeves, sometimes with his
stockings literally down at the heel"
But his hardihood of life and action
had Its effect on the men he command
ed. He was often up and about by
midnight and would salute the first
soldier whom he saw moving with a
piercing cockcrow In commentator of
bis early rising. During the first Pc.
fish war he had given orders for an
attack at cockcrow, and spy in the
camp carried the news to the enemy.
The attack however, really took place
at 8 o'clock in the evening, when the
arrangement had been made, for
Suwaroff. suspecting treachery, had
then turned out his troops by his well
known growing. The enemy, expect
ing the event in the morning, were en-
tirely unprepared and fell easy victims
to his forethOught.
Tomorrow morning" said he to his
troops on the evening before the storm
ing of Ismail. IAN hour before day
break mean to get up. l shall wash
and dress myself. say my prayers give
one good cockcrow and then capture

PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Great Tower of Safety
and Rock of Health in
the Hot Weather

Nervous diseases when aggravated
by mental disturbances produce more
causes OF insanity In the hot weather
than at any other season OF the year.
Nervous headache, nervous dyspepsia,
sleepleSsness and chronic constipation
induce depression OF spirits, extreme
weakness, morbid fears, dependency
and langour; from these, dread insan.
ity comes slowly but surely.
Nervous sufferers have a dread OF
hot weather Finding themselves
deeper in the pit Of misery than they
were in the spring and early summer
they are In utter despair.
There is hope for you, dear reader,
if you are one of the sufferers. You
stand In need Of Pajne's Celery Com
pound, that great builder Of the ner-
vous system. Its vitalizing action
commences with the first bottle you
use. the volume Of blood Immediately
increases in the arteries, and the body

FLOWER AND TREE.

Fruit trees and fruit require potash
for their best development.
With house plants all extreme
changes of temperature should be
avoided
Too many trees prevent rapid growth
and extend the time when grove is
well shaded.
Grapevines like their roots to be near
the surface, and the food for them
should not be placed at too great a
depth.
Small growth and too much small
fruit go together. Thrifty growth fur
nishes a few large and fine specimens
of fruit.
There is no use in growing tree
very tall. The top limbs are apt to be-
come slender and break if fruit is pro-
duced Oh them.
All members Of the poppy family are
hard to transplant BY choosing a
rainy day and not exposing the roots
