STRANGE WAYS IN PERSIA.
Clerical Traveller Finds Veracity a
Scarce Virtue in the Shah's
Domain.

Veracity is a scarce article in Persia,
according to Rev. Napier Malcolm. In
his Five Years in the Persian Town"
he writes of conditions in Yezd as fol-
lows: I'm the Yezd bazars probably
not less than one.third of the speeches
made by Mussulmans are falsehoods.
One day cook of European went to
the bazar and after the usual haggling
fixed the price of some meat at 12
krans for 13 pounds. But said the
cook, you've got your thumb on the
scales. Did you think retorted tie
butcher, that | would give you meat at
13 pounds for IL krans unless | kept
my thumb on the scales?' We had q
neighbor who was considered a fairly
respectable man, whose sole business
was the forging of seals. But the. fact
is that every class, from the highest
to the lowest. is thoroughly permeated
with the leaven of dishonesty. A Mo-
hammedan assured me that truth
speaking and honesty had nothing to
do with religion, but was purely a mat
ter of climate. In that case said l,
the people of Persia ought to speak
the truth very well, for one of the
Greek historians who lived before Mo-
hammedan era declared that the Per-
SLAMS were famous for speaking the
truth. But who does not know re-
piled the Mohammedan, that the
climate of q country changes entirely
every 1000 years?'"
OF the strangest of telegraph lines
Mr.. Malcolm writes: THE poles were
rough sticks, like those a washerwom-
an uses in England to prop her clothes
line. l suppose, taking the good line
with the bad, there was on an average
about one insulator to every three
poles that is, without counting the in.
sulators which hung midway between
the poles, apparently by way of orna-
ment. In good many places the line
lay on the ground; at others it crossed
the road about the level of a horse
mans chin. One day in Yezd a
European wanted to send telegram
and inquired when the line would be
up. They sent him a polite message
that the line was always down-that
stepped on it."
Concerning the alleged resemblances
between Christianity and Mohamme-
danism Mr. Malcolm says: There are
not many resemblances to note. An Of
ficer of Indian troops replied to Mus
sulman's suggestion that there were
resemblances between the two re-
ligions: There is hardly single
practical point where Mussulmans and
Christians are not entirely at issue.
Whereupon the Mussulman said: 'Sa-
hib, you have read your bible and have
also read the koran. l always make
that remark to Christians. l made it
to a padre the other day and they
most always say, Very true, Moham-
mechanism has a great deal in common
with Christianity" well, sahib when
they say that know that they have
not read the koran and that they have
not read their bibles

the top is cut into two scallops with a
half scallop at each side.
Three repetitions of the design at
right-hand side are worked upon the
silk, the length being increased by re-
peating the bow below the flowers for
the sides, and the flowers the other
side of the bow for the center The
embroidery is worked in long and
cording-stitch with silk. Arrange the
silk on the back so that it forms three
long pockets that are divided by a row
of stitching. Braid the edge all round
with piece of ribbon, and sew loop
at the top to hang it up by.

New Use for Fiehting Tons

Small caliber guns are TO be re-
moved from the fighting tops of the
battleship Alabama, which is lying at
the Brooklyn navy yard. They will be
replaced by range finders, in accordance
with orders from the navy department.
The government, according to an Off
Ger at the yard, intends to initiate the
example OF the Japanese by using the
fightlng tops as stations for ranLe find
era, instead of for small guns, with
limited range and little or no destruc.
tive force. Advlces from Japan show
that the fighting tops on all japanese
ships of war are provided with range
finders.

sooner or later, or if he did, he had a
dim idea that The constable who
lived near his home, and who was a
friend of his, was a bigger man than
the government, and would see him
through.
Two nights later Dan Skinner
lodged the camp sentinels and be-
came a deserter. He had selected a
route, but owing to the darkness and
scare or two, he became confused
and finally held n pretty straight
course for the position of the en-
emy. Just at that time two armies
were Is miles apart, with parties from
each side raiding over the neutral
ground. When Dan had gone ten
miles he realized that he was lost, and
lay down in the bushes to wait for
daylight. When he awoke he found
himself close to a big farmhouse, and
hunger and desire to be set right
as to his road caused him to boldly ap-
proach 1t. He found a woman and
Two children, and p moment later dis-
covered that he was among southern

prise and alarm until he let it be
known that he was alone. When he
sat down to the humble food placed
before him the woman asked:

crate lines are only hve miles away,

Hair Tonic.

When the hair persistently suffers
from loss of vitality it is from one OF
more of the following causes: I'm
proper shampooing, use of harsh soaps
disease, anxiety, want of exercise, over
work and the application of harmful
restoratives or tonics. A shampoo
with eggs every fortnight, together
with the use of simple, harmless
grower, will usually bring the miracle
of change, although every woman
should look carefully after her health
when her hair shows evidence of be-
ing Ill. Hair tonic: Forty-eight grains
of resorcin, one-fourth ounce of glycer-
Inc, diluted alcohol to fill a two-ounce
bottle. Apply to scalp every night with
friction.

HINTS ON GOOD BREEDING
1t Is the Small Things That Show
Whether One Has or Has Not
Been Gently Reared.

Ones ailments are never matters OF
public interest, and ones troubles an
noy those whom they do not sadden,
tersely remarks Mrs. Burton Kings
land, in Success Magazine.
Guests should not allow their hosts
to incur needless expense on their be-
half. When visiting city friends they
should pay their own cab hires, car
fares, express charges and telephone
tolls, If messages are sent at long dis
tances, but, if the host will not per-
init, 1t is in better taste to yield the
point than to prolong a discussion.
In order that children may learn
politeness, they must be treated with
| courtesy-thanked when they do little
services, and spoken to in controlled
voice when reprimanded. Above all
else, parents and elders must treat one
another with well-bred polteness be-
fore them, for children are very imita-
tive little creatures.
The behavior of father and mother
toward each other sets an example that
will probably serve as the standard of
conduct in the households of which
the children in their turn will be the
heads.
1t is no longer customary at the
tables of those socially well-placed to
serve the hostess first. 1t is an old
fashion, a survival of the times when
for the hosts to taste wine or food
first was the assurance to the guests
that it was not poisoned
At church weddings every woman,
including the bride, should wear hat
unless she wears veil. This is ac-
cording to custom and precedent
In well-regulated households no call
er is ever told at the door that the
servant will see whether the mistress
is at home or not" Instructions to
that effect should be given in advance
so that a callers time may not be
wasted in such investigation.
In going upstairs a woman is given
precedence by man, but in descend
ing staircase he goes first, to avoid
the risk of stepping upon her gown,

support.
In nothing does a girl show herself
underbred so much as when lacking in
respect and Difference to her mother,
except when such affront is offered to
her father If such a one had the gift
of seeing herself as others see her, she
would feel nothing but disgust.
1t is very bad form rot to return q
first call, unless the caller be a really
Objectionable person to know. But the
first call returned, none other need
follow and the acquaintance may be
allowed to drop. For the person, how
ever, who makes the first call, not to
make a second after the former one
has been courteously returned would
be indefensible unless for some very
cogent reason. Why begin an ac-
quaintance only to drop it?
