WAYS OF THE PERSIAN.
The Que~s Houses and the water
tappIy of Yezd.


Persia b mostly desert, but desert In
Persia Is Of many kinds. The ordl-
nary desert IL good soil and where IL
can be watered IL extremely fertile.
Generally II has a hard but rather
grayelly surface. The oases are not
really very different In character from
the desert, however, according 10 the
RAy. Napier Malcolm. in his book Five
Years In a Persian Town" Water
Is brought from the mountains Ia a
most curious manner. IL is found
near the hills at depths varying
from sixty 10 a hundred yards be
low the surface. From the hills 10
the center Of the plain" says Mr..
Malcolm, there Is considera bic
though very gradual declivity, so when
the original shaft has been sunk and
water found, perhaps at 800 feet be-
low the surface, long line OF similar
shafts Is sunk toward the center of
the plain at distances varying from
twenty 10 forty yards, the line some
times stretching for more than forty
miles until a point OF desert has been
reached that lies as deep down as the
original water level. Then all the
shafts are connected at the bottom by
burrows just big enough TO afford
passage 10 a man; the water IS let In
and appears In an open ditch In the
center OF the desert"
Houses that are not very new are al.
ways more or less tumble down, but no
man wants his house to last forever.
Nobody can realize the damage that
can be done in a town like Yezd by
a really wet day." says the same
writer. "Some while ago we had
twenty-four hours Of rain, which de.
stroyed, / believe, about q couple OF
hundred roofs and what Is worse,
caused the older aQueduct pits to fall
In, blocking the water supply in some
parts OF the town for three months.
Is there any other town In the world
where little extra rain causes threS
months drought There is story
In Teheran about a Dutch ambassador
who was so afraid Of the roof falling
that In wet weather he invariably slept
under the table. However. he was a
very tall man. and when the catastro-
phe happened he got his foot crushed" !"
In Yezd houses are built only for pro
lection against heat. In winter the
citizens grin and bear It." the mer-
chants close their offices and stay at
home, and only the smaller tradesmen
and artisans go TO the baZaars, The
heating arrangement consists OF a
wooden stool under which a charcoal
brazier Is placed. Over stool and
brazier heap Of rugs and quilts is
placed, and the family tuck their legs
under the wraps. squattlng on the foor.

A FAMOUS CHARGER.
The story of Narengo, NspoIeon's
Last War Horse.

Napoleon helped himself 10 the crea-
ture when he encountered the name
lukcs on the banks Of the Nile in 1893.
Superb as were the horses Of these
knights Of the desert" the white
charger with the great black eyes,
wide nostrils, clean limbs and a brave
heart" as Ibrahlm the hey described
him, was the most splendid Of them
all. He was small horse. only just
over fourteen hands, fautlcss In shape
and dauntless In courage. Napoleon
rode him at the siege OF Acre, at the
battles Of Marengo, Austerlitz, Jena
and Wagram. He took him 10 Moscow
In that fatal campaign against Russia
and rode him at Borodino and on the
Beresina river.
When disaster had come and Ma
poleon was banished 30 Elba, the ia
vorite horse was not permitted 10 ac-
company him. 81 had rather ! had
shot him than that King Louis should
possess him." the fallen emperor said,
and he laughed with grim satisfaction
when an equerry reminded him that
wieldy TO ride Marengo or any other
horse. Two years passed, and Ma
poleon was back In Paris. The turn
Of fortunes wheel had brought him 10
the top again; Louis was fugitive.
and the emperor was wildly acclaimed
by the hckle populace, who but few
weeks before had shouted for the king.
Ia
his able; once more the housings with
the gilded bees were buckled on his
shapely form. The horse, old in years
and white as fresh faxed snow, was
al full OF courage as ever. His mas
ter's hand passed lovingly over his
satin skin as Napoleon mounted him
that fatal 18th OF June when the
troops were forming up on the fields
which had been 80 fresh and green
that morning and where the lark's
sweet song was silenced by the
first booming Of the guns The white
charger carried the emperor as proud
ly as ever; the wide nostrils shifted
the battle clouds as they had often
done before. A musket ball struck the
creatures fanks, and the white skin
and golden bees were stained with
blood and dust.
Late In the afternoon Napoleon
turned his horses head from the field.
The battle was fought and lost Only
Marengo's feetness and tlreless cour-
age remained between him and cap
tivity. Nobly the old horse responded
to his call. Away through the trampled
corn. across the broken ground,
through the awful scenes Of slaughter
and the heaps Of the dead and dying;
away through the merclful darkness
Of the summer night; away toward
Paris once again.
That was the last time Napoleon
rode his favor-te. Lord Petre found
the poor beast, wounded and utterly
worn out, at roadside inn, where
Napoleon had entered his carriage,
leaving the horse behind. Marengo
was brought 10 England, and even
tually sold to General Angersteln OF
the grenadiers. His old age was
passed at Angersteins place In Nor
folk, where the horse-to the last
beautiful as picture"-attracted
much notice. On his death the gen
eral presented one OF the hoofs to his
old comrades OF the Guards brigade,
and another belongs to General Anger

folk.-London Modern Society.

Preventives Of sufocatiou.

Two devices recently tested In En-.
rope and found practical for prevent.
ing suffocation by poisonous gases are
likely to come into general use. One
OF the new inventions regenerates the
sxhnled air and enables a man TO work
in poisonous air. Two types OF this
invention are made. one OF which is so
simple that a miner may carry II with
him into n mine.
The second device Is based on the
well known principle OF the apparent
variation IN weight OF a body when IL
Is plunged into ordinary air and into
gases Of different density. This inven-
ton sets bell ringing In the room or

Battlefield ORATiONS.
A Great Deal OF Fiction About the
Recorded Martial Speeches.

Recorded Martial Speeches.
Somebody once asked the Duke OF
Wellington II speeches OH the battle
Geld were really made as reported and
what was their effect. The duke said,
"Nhat effect on the whole army can
be made by speech since you cannot
conveniently make II heard by more
than n thousand men standing about
you?" Then the duke was asked IL
II were not the fact that Napoleon de-
llvercd some rather notable orations
on the field. The duke would not have
II. THE proclamations you read Of In
the French army were much more seen
In the papers than by the soldiers-they
were meant for Paris" 1t was all
right. the duke agreed, TO address a
regiment upon presenting IL with col
ors and that sort OF thing. On the
whole, French troops might be more
impressed by speech than the Eng
lsh, who I'm the dukes Waterloo army
were, he declared, "the scum of the
earth, who had all enlisted for drink"
The French, with their system of con-
scription, had a fair sprinkling of all
classes
mo-" comments writer, call these
martial obiter dicta which our histories
treasure up for us were for the most
part never spoken ut all. The last
words OF dying men and the speeches
made on the battlefield or the deck Of
an admirars flagship are not to be re-
garded as having been actually ut
tered. The famous Up guards, and at
'emr accredited TO Wellington at Wa.
terloo. was never spoken. Wellington
himself denied It."

ter's dead, and the officers sabre
now on exhibition here was taken by
Colonel Godfrey from one of that
number. Last year, when the colonel
was stationed at Walla Walla, he pre-
sented the sword to Lee Moorhouse
to be added to the collection Of war
and Indian relics made by the latter.
The gift is priced highly by Major
Moorhouse because Of its historical
Significance. and also as a remem-
brance of Colonel Godfrey. who is a
gallant officer with II record of which
he may well be proud. The army
register shows that in 1877 he was
awarded medal OF honor and brew
eted major for distinguished gall
lantry in action against the Nez Perce
Indians at Bear Paw mountain, Mont.
at which time he led his command
into action and was severely wound
ed. From Walla Walla he was trans
ferred to Fort Riley, Kas., and is
there now. 1t is said that his heart
has always been with the Seventh
cavalry, and that he greatly regretted
leaving that regiment when such
was necessitated by his promotion.

Now shown in the window of Major
Moorhouse's office is a cavalry Off
GERS sabre which, IL it could only
speak, might tell the story of the
fiercest and bloodiest struggle record
ed in the annals of the West-the
battle of the Little Big Horn, of
which no adequate account has ever
been given and never will be, unless
by the spirits of the dead.
The sabre, which almost beyond
doubt, was worn into the fatal canyon
by an officer of the Seventh cavalry,
was presented to Major Moorhouse
by Col. Edward S. Godfrey, now COM
mander of the Ninth cavalry. The
colonel was a first lieutenant in the
famous seventh when the greater
part of that regiment and General
Custer were slain by the Sioux on
June 25, 1876. At the time of the
battle of Little Big Horn, Lieutenant
Godfrey was at another place with a
portion of the regiment under COM
mand of Major Reno. Some desper-
ate fighting with the Sioux was also
had by this detachment, but with less
disastrous results than befell Custer
and his men.
Shortly after the Custer massacre
an Indian scout reached the force
under Major Reno, and to describe
that terrible struggle placed a lot of
little sticks in a circle with one in
the center to designate the COM
mander. Then the scout cast the
sticks. the center one last, into the
Big Horn river, thus showing how the
entire force had been swept down.

sacre the Sioux warriors went adorned

FAIR ENTRANCE COMPLETED.
About 500 Persons May Enter Lewis
and Clark Exposition Gates Per
Minute.

Minute.
The ornamental main entrance to
the Lewis and Clark exposition has
been completed, and in a short time
the old temporary gates will be torn
away and the gatekeepers will be do
ing business at the bright new turn
stiles.
There are IL turnstiles for entrance
and eight for exit. The capacity of
each entering turnstile is about 40
persons per second, or even more in
a rush. 1t is safe to figure that 500
persons may pass through those
gates in a minute. Each turnstile
records the number of people passing
through, so that at the end of day
the total attendance may be figured
up quite readily.
There are three other entrances,
one at Twenty-eighth street, near the
Museum of Arts, one at the American
Inn, and the other at the northeast
corner of the grounds, which will ad-
init visitors coming by boat on the
Willamette river to the government
peninsula.
The admission price has been fixed
at SO cents. Those who expect to be
in Portland during the entire exposi-
ton season may purchase a season
coupon ticket for $40, good for 1877
admissions, or one good for so admis-
sions for $3.50.
The main entrance, which is at
Twenty-sixth and Upshur streets is
reached by all street car lines and is
only Is minutes ride from the heart
of the city. Many extra cars will be
put on for the season. The exposi-
tion will be ready in every depart
ment to open June l.
