A Royal Road to wealth.


When a certain late shah of Persia
became temporarily embarrassed for
money, he had quite a unique method
of filling his purse. He would go to
the market, where. after examining
the shops, he would select one and,
turning to the proprietor, would say,
"Will you take me in as a partner in
your business for the day." The of.
fer. was OF course, eagerly accepted
The shah would take his seat near the
shop entrance and say to his courtiels,
whom he always took with him on
these occasions: Now, I'm salesman.
Who'll buy?" The latter, not daring to
refuse the offers of the, royal mer-
chant, set about clearing the shop OF
its contents, paying sometimes $50 for
goods that We're not worth E10. 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 shopkeeper the
amount of the profit realized.

A Queer Transaction.

Sir Arthur Sullivan discovered at
Monte Carlo one time that certain res
taurant proprietors had a way of reg
ulating their charges with the appear
ance and standing OF their customers.
When lunching alone, Sir Arthur was
in the habit OF freQuenting one partic-
Mlar place where he knew to a centime
what the prices were.
One day there sat at the table adioin-
ing his own wealthy Russian noble
man. Upon asking for his bill the
composer found that the prices were
exorbitantly high. He sent for. the
proprietor ard demanded an explana-
ton.
The man, an Italian, recognized Sir
Arthur as an influential client and
was profuse i'll his apologies. He ex-
planned that the mistake lay with the
cashier. Going over the items to which,
exception was taken, the proprietor
said: ''The CONVERT l take him off di-
rectly. and the butter / charge him to
the grand duke. He not notice it.''
The idea of charging to the grand
duke an Item against whose extortion-
ate price another customer protested
always struck the great composer as a
decidedly humorous way Of getting out
of the difficulty.

Danes Nficated Ferns.

: The lover of ferns win find it an
easy matter to domesticate many of
the most attractive varieties If he or
she will be content to take young
plants. They should be removed from
their native haunts with q good
amount of soil adhering to their roots.
Give them, If possible, shady place
to grow in, and make the soil as light
as that in which they originally grew.
1t is well worth while to get a wagon
load or two OF soil from the woods for
the especial use of these plants. In
lifting them wrap each in deep bas-
ket, applying. enough water to saturate
the soil clinging to the roots. Do not
plant them in the border until after
sundown. If the next day is sunny,
shade them well and shower them fire.
quently In some instances most OF
the old fronds will die off, but If care
is taken in lifting and planting and
the necessary amount of shade and wa
ter is given few Of the leaves will be
lost.-Eben E. Rexford in Lippincott's

WINTER IN JAPAN.

Combat the Trying Conditions.
The Japanese winter is most trying
on account of its continual dampness
hut the Japanese are content to remain
cold. They make almost no effort tc
overcome it. The old "bushido" (chiv
alrous) idea Of the "samurai" knights
was that it was effeminate to feel cold
and such is their severe training that
they do not really feel it as we do. The
wearing of some extra "kimonos" and
the use Of a ''hibachi'' or brazier II
which are a few tiny sticks of lighted
charcoal are the only concessions tc
winter weather. With the "hibachi"
they never pretend to heat more than
their finger tips, which they hold over
the Goals. 1t is used when the house is
entirely open.
The houses, as every one knows, are
built of thin, light wood. and the slid
ing panels which serve for doors and
windows have paper panes. They are
as apt to be open as closed during the
day. The coolies wear thin blue cotton
clothes and are always padding
through the mud. The storekeepers sit
out in their open booths, and the WON.
