Other decorations worn by the Persian min
lister are of much less intrinsic value, but
are esteemed for the honors they carry
with them.
Over his left breast may be seen four or
five medals grouped These represent hon
ors conferred upon him fer efforts in the
cause of education, and scientific and lit
erary work. Directly over the heart may
be seen the insignia of the Grand Gordon
of the Lion and Sun set with diamonds
The center contains a beautiful piece of art
enamel. yellowish in color. with the picture
of a recumbent lion and a flaming sun.
This enamel is an art peculiar to Persia and
Is not produced elsewhere: in fact it is not
made under any circumstances except upon
personal order of the shah. This decora-
ton Is in recognition of merit for political
services for his country. To the left is the
decoration of the Grand Gordon of the
Osmanic" given by the Sultan of Turkey. In
recognition of personal esteem while on a
visit to Constantinople with the shah. Be-
low this to the left hangs the Grand Cor
don of the Medjie' also from the Sultan of
Turkey. In the center of his breast is the
rand Gordon of Francis Joseph of Aus
tria."
The decorations worn by Count Cassini
are elaborate. beautiful and costly. The
most important is seen directly under the
chin hanging from ribbon around the
neck. This is the Russian White Eagle"
and Is the highest form of decoration grant
ed by the car to any of his subjects. Tho
origin OF this decoration Is far back in the
middle ages and indicative of the highest
esteem. 1t is only granted to those of
royal blood and in recognition of services
to the crown, actually performed, and is
therefore highly priced. 1t is Of wrought
gold. studded with many jewels of various
kinds.
The round, star-like medal directly be-
meath the heart Is the Chinese decoration
of the first class. 1t is very rare and Count
Cassini is the only foreigner now living
upon whom it has been conferred. Its Or
igfn Is away back in Chinese history and
seems TO be guarded a secret by them.
It's significance Is one Of good will and the
order was conferred upon the count while
he was minister to the Chinese court at
Pekin. Dozens of other decorations are
worn by the Russian ambassador, many of

A MONUMENT TO SLAVES.
An Appeal by Southern Women for It's
Erection

Mrs. Kate W. Moore Oakland Miss In the Com
federate Veteran.
l have just read Miss Mary Solaris grand
sentiments in the March Veteran in regard
to monument to the faithful blacks OF the
south. Being in full sympathy with her in
all her views, 1 wish to emphasize her idea
that right now is the time to begin the
noble work, and 1 would esteem it an honor
to be among the first to begin working for
the cause.
A few instances from my own life VIII
show why my heart should distate such
step. My mother died when l was four
years old, leaving three little girls. myself
the oldest. and 1t was old black nanny
who cared for us till the new mother came
to take the place OF the lostone. My baby
sisters crib was placed in the cabin by
mammys bed, and Ii was an old black
hand that tenderly rocked it for many a
night, and we lisped our prayers at a black
mammy's knee.
During the war. while my father was in
the army. my mother and four children
lived on the plantation. a mile from any
other white person. and Were protected by
a faithful old negro man. who was fathers
foreman. There were about seyenty-fiye
negroes on the place. and he superintended
everything and made the crops. After the
surrender he remained our right hand
until death claimed him.
Ny father died In 1879 of sporadic yellow
fever. and his sudden death caused one OF
those dreadful panics that we can remem-
Der only with horror. The white peopie
fled: but our negroes were there. faithful 10
the very last and they formed the mid
night funeral procession that carried my
honored father to the cemetery. Do you
wonder that / should be glad to give
proof of gratitude for such heroic ueVo-
ton? / know there thousands of men
and women in the south whose experience
has been similar to mine. VIII not some
one start the movement for a monunent
and give us the opportunity of assisting in
the work?

Much of the success Of the Japanese land

attributed to the wonderful complete prep

plotting and plating Korea and Manchuria.
From the Germans the japanese adopted

The Horticultural suggests that it
might be worth while to get some
scions of these trees now yielding
fruit of best shape and highest quality,
and grow them on other trees under
varying conditions with view of
securing more shapely coreless apples
of higher quality.
Does it pay to feed the Gull fruit to
hogs is answered in the affirmative
by those who have tried it. Grain
is necessary of some kind. The far
mer or fruit grower should raise a
little, either wheat, peas, or corn
then with waste fruit he can make
pork cheaply and at the same time
get a good price for Gull fruit. Good
poultry men know the value of third
