PERSIAN GEMS MORE COSTLY.
Of Nishapoorl Are Becoming
Scarcer and Bearer.

The turquoise Gcrls, TIE finest exam
pies OF which are produced from the
mines Of Nishapoor, are, probably from
some change in the fashion of the west,
becoming dearer In price and, i'll
Teheran and neighborhood, more diff
calt to find. According to Vice Consul
General Tyler, at Teheran, says the
Washington Star, much of the value of
tAe stone depends on It's shape, the OBJ
long being considered the most appro-
prlate; on its freedom from spots or dis
coloration, however small in size; on its
age, when the color has settled down
into its final hue mot the superficial
variations or sympathetic changes, hut
Its really permanent shade); but more
than all on its actual color, whether
fresh from the hands or the lapidary or
sedate from long wear. Choice, taste
and fashion largely determine the pref
erence of one shade or another. but the
lapis lazali or the cloudless sapphire
OF Its native skies, is TIE highest quality
of the turquoise.
The pearls of the Persian gulf, which
have formed for long time past an i'm
portant branch Of the export trade. have
likewise. within the last few years, risen
greatly in price. Mr.. Tyler says he does
not think that this means that the sup
ply has seriously diminished. but rather
That the demand has Increased out of
proportion. Ten thousand dollars for a
rosary of faultless pearls is not at the
present time considered at ail excessive,
although formerly the same might be
bought for 1.-THE Of that Amount.

HAREM WANTED sARDINEs.
When First Boxes of This DeIicncy
Reached Morocco Court There
z Was Great Excitement.

If the sultan of Morocco, Muley ADD
el-Aziz, loses his throne, 1t perhaps
might be due to the discomfort of his
subjects In seeing him adopt so precip-
itately European manners and habits.
The sultan disregards this danger, how
ever, and when, he wants thing Euro
pean, he must have 1t at once, says the
New York Tribune. Ill
One night there was great noise In
front of the residence of an Englishman
inhablting Morocco. Immediately the
soldiers of the palace struck the door
violently exclaiming: "Daba! Daba!
(quick! quickD. The master wants all
the sardines you have in your house!"
The Englishman was not a sardine
merchant, but handed over what few
boxes he had, and learned later that
only few hours before a foreign min
lister had presented to the sultan few
boxes of sardines, which were opened
in the harem and partaken of by all
the inmates
Such sudden frenzy was created for
them that on the morrow a special rak-
kas was dispatched to Tangier, with or
ders to bring all the sardlnes in the
place. stg e hf-

THEN she FELL.
Was Cautioned to Look Out and Said She
Would.

A gentleman residing in George
street, had hearty laugh at young
lady neighbor Friday. The George
street bridge has quite an incline and
when one gets started it doesn't take
long to reach the foot of it. especially
when it is icy. In fact, at such times
the boys and girls have a grand time
coasting on it. There were patches
of lce left on the bridge from the last
snow storm and the snow Friday Gov
cred them and made it somewhat
dangerous, so the gentleman, seeing
the young lady neighbor coming down
the bridge past him, thought he would
caution her to be careful and said
with smile, "Look out you don t
sleighride. She turned her head and
replied: "No danger, I'll not sleigh
ride'' and the next minute away she
went. w s,' ~ s-aa~.ri - s-.-.' .-.tt
When he saw her sitting there laugh
ing, he said, You're pretty one, l
didn't think you would tell stories,
I'm surprised at you," etc. All the
young lady could do was to laugh aud
SIT there ten minutes.
Somebody else said someone ought
to have come along and given the
man a push and sent him sleighriding
too. 1t would have served him right
for laughing at her. No doubt she
thought SO afterwards, too, for if
there is anything that will make some
people angry, it is to have anyone see
them fall down in the street.
