Bible Work in Persia.

Bible work in Persia has suffered a
serious interruption recently in pro-
hibition of the Persian Government,
which forbids the entering into Persia
Of either the Arabic, Turkish, Azerbi-
jani and Persian Scriptures. A con-
signment sent during the last year by
the American Bible Society to the Pres
byterian missionaries at Tabriz was
detained at Bushire, and thus their
admission has been refused. Protests
have been made through the State De-
partment at Washington, and the Brit
ish authorities have been similarly ap-
preached by representatives of the
British and Foreign Bible Society with
out effect, although the British and
American ministers at Teheran acted
vigorously from the first. In spite of
this, there has been vigorous press
ing of the work of Bible circulation on
the part of the Presbyterian mission
aries at the four stations at Tabriz and
Urumia, which together constitute the
West Persia mission, and at Teheran
and Hamadan, which combine to make
the East Persia mission of the Pres
byterian board in the United States of

The Bones of St. Nicholas.

Bari and Venice have always disput-
ed as to which of them possesses the
authentic bones of st. Nicholas, but
there would seem to be no doubt in the
mind of the Russian General Bagdono-
witch, who, on seeing them, offered the
Cathedral of Bari 100000 rubles (about
$1O5, ,000) for them, with the intention of
taking them to Russia, where this
saint is extraordinarily popular. 1t ap-
pears that General Bagdonovitch was
visiting Bari when he saw the relics,
which are at the bottom Of a species Of
well, the bones being crossed and water
springing from them continually. He
became very thoughtful. and then ex-
claimed: II will give you 100000 ru-
bles for them" When those present
smiled, thinking he was joking, he re-
peated his offer several times, but of
course 1t was refused The present
Gar, as Czarowitch, visited the same
relics while the cathedral was the scene
of Queen Helena's abjuration of the
orthodox creed and her conversion to
Roman Catholicism. 1t is thought that
the matter Will not end here, and that
the general will make further efforts
to secure the bones, but, of course. he
has no chance of success.-London Tel

Among those peculiar to this belt is
the DURAN, which is about the size OF

somewhat the appearance of chestnut

the fruit is white and cheeselike, and
owing to this popularity the American
