Perhaps no wild animal is more fa-

chuck. Every hillside and meadow is
dotted with the small piles of earth
which mark the doorway to his home.
The woodchuck prefers hillside or u

ne can easily make the end of his den
higher than the beginning, thus avoid
Ing the danger of being drowned out.
What could be more unlike in general
appearance than woodchuck and a

Persian Customs.

In Persia, as well as in Turkey and
throughout the orient generally, mod
ern waterworks are unknown, and in
every Persian town the women and
girls may be seen nj daybreak on their
way TO the common wells just as in
old Bible times. They carry their
pitchers on their shoulders and bring
water for the household uses of the
day. The well is the general clearing
house for news. Another common sight
in Persian towns is the tea seller. He
carries big brass teapot in either
hand, the one full of hot water, the
other OF tea. His cups are in tray,
which is fastened to his belt. He cries
in singsong tone: Hot tea! Sweet
tea! Tea of crimson color" His tea
Is prepared With herbs and has deli
cious thymy oGor. Wine is carried
about in beef>kins, which, pumped out
to their original form by the fluid with
in, present startling appearance to
the novice. IT is one of the impossible
! things for the western barbarian to at
tain admission to the Persian roya
harem, but the rage for photographs
has penetrated even that sequestered
spot, and photographers have lately
been admitted for the purpose of pho
tographing the royal infants.-New

The average Dutchman Of the south
Ut Holland, though he can skate very
well, looks rather foolish on the Ice.
His short legs and wide brooches are
admirable adjuncts to his nose, his
thin cooked beard and the lumpishness
of his expression. To be sure, this
breadth makes him look important but
If he were less muscular it would be
sad hindrance to him in battling with
the wind, which in winter in apt to
make skating in one direction some
thing of a trial.
The Frieslander, however, is taller,
better proportioned and in all respects
handsome fellow. The yellow beard
he sometimes wears seems to put him
at once on footing Of affinity with
the other members Of that respectable
Anglo-Saxon family to which we our
selves belong, quite as much as his
provincial speech and his blue eyes.
He is n most masterful creature when
once he has put on those quaint old
fashioned skates Of his, and thinks
nothing Of making score Of miles
from one village to another before you
and are out Of bed. Az for the cold,
what cares he for II? He knows he
must rely on that lusty circulation Of
his to keep him from being benumbed,
