Two Views of a Marriage.

These verses are to be read twice: once
as printed, then the first and third and
second and fourth lines. 1t will be seen
that they give quite opposite meaningf
accordingly as they are read.
The man must lead a happy life
Who is directed by his wife;
Who's freed from matrimonial chains
Is sure to suffer for his pains.
Adam Of old could find no peace
Until he saw a womans face;
When Eve was given for mate,
Adam was in happy state.
In all the females hearts appear
Truth, darling of a heart sincere;
Hypocrisy deceit and pride,
Meier known in woman to reside.
What tongue is able to unfold
The worth in woman we behold?
The fasehood that in woman dwell
Is almost imperceptible.
Fooled be the foolish man. I say.
Who will not yield to womans sway,
Whs changes from his singleness
Is sure of perfect blessedness.

than truth. A chief part of their con-
versation is flattery, and the higher
the rank of a man the more extrava-
giant are the compliments paid him.
Blackmail is also recognized insti-
tuition in Persia Despite the avowed
hostility of the present ruler to the
ancient "mudakhil" or "pickings," this
species of extortion or graft" Is still
as essential business principle in Per-
STA. Before Muzaffer.ed-Din came to
the throne in 1896, on the assassina-
tion of his father, graft was not only
the basic principle of commerce, but
of government as well, and such it had
been since time immemorial. For ex-
ample, the shah sold his appointments
of the provincial governorships to the
highest bidder. The governors sold
the privilege of farming the taxes for
a certain sum to the "kalantar" or
tax collector, who exacts a certain
percentage or "mudakhil" from his
underlings.
The taxpayer, too, has his revenge
in obtaining ''mudakhil' from those
below him. If he is a merchant he
adds 10 per cent to his prices for re-
endorsement. If broker he puts into
his bill to his client the simple item
"mudakhil," and the item cannot be
stricken out. The judges of the courts
take their "mudakhil' from the &C.
cused, and should it be large enough
the prisoner goes free. The police
have their ''mudakhil," to wink at
evil, and to fail to arrest. Servants
also have their "mudakhil." AS it is
an indication of low birth for Per-
sian to buy anything in market him
self, he is compelled to trust his pur-
chases to his servants. The cook, who
buys his provisions, adds 10 per cent
as her "mudakhil." The groom, who
buys for the stable, pockets his 10 per
cent. Even the laundress has her
graft" and buys soap with fat
"mudakhil" lathered on the bill.

Would Not Touch the Pig.

A recent traveller in Somalilano
gives the following curious incident
showing the Mohammedan hatred for
pigs: I'VE shot two wart hogs, one
particularly big boar. Alan wished
to keep the tusks, but, of course, none
of the Somalis would touch the un.
clean animal. At last bride Of 2
rupees induced the Midgan woman to
chop the tusks out with Ratchet.
Even then she would not touch them
and with the help of two sticks.
which she used like pair of tongs,
put them on camel. Then there was
a long dispute about the Ratchet. No
one would touch it; it had been defii
ed. OF course this was pure affectation
and playing to the gallery on the
ayah's part At home with her ma.
tive tribe she would have gorged all
the pig she could get. But it fiattered
the Somalis and we marched off, the
ayaa holding the Ratchet at arms
length as if it were going to bite
her."

less interesting than that of the wool
