EAST" IN PERSIA.
4 Curious Custom and the Ways in
 Which It Works.

Tn Persia there is the strange GUS tom known as ''bast." It simply means that any one having a griev- snce by taking refuge on the prem ises of nobleman may demand that the nobleman take up his cause az though the bastee were one of his own household. There seems to be no limit to the custom. for the petty criminal often takes refuge. or bast, in | mosque. where he is safe. if his friends are allowed to feed him. fl the police want him they must starve him out. There was man wbo sat for eight years in one of the legations here patiently awaiting a settlement of small claim that he had against the Persian government. Ministers came and went. but he stayed on. At last his claim was paid and he died celebrating his victory Few isgatIons here would have the cour- age to put q man out. ts 1t would bring down no small amount of op- probrium upon them.

Fortunately the grounds are large. but. at best. great damage must be done to the beautiful gardens by the g.e0s and more men camping on them A short time ago these pee pie would have gone to the Russian legatiou. but to-day 1t is passed by and forgotten. while the streets sur foundius the British legation are filled with crowds who d0 not hesi- tate to say that England can have the country if she wants if.

Nearly everyone likes Grlddle Cakes for breakfast and while the old fashioned Buckwheat seems to be under ban variety of other kinds take their place. In York state" they use batter pails. They mix a batch of cakes in one of these pails on the first of the season and it is never allowed to get empty until the season is over. A fresh batch is mixed every night and set by the stove to raise so that when the time comes the cakes are ready for the and believe them to be just the thing for the purpose.

P0LITICAL POINTERS.
Walter hs Only Man Who Suffered Much From Pastors.

With the exception of Jacob D. Walter, the pastors didn't do any body very much harm in Waterbury. In the fifth ward where John Hurley was expected to be slashed. all Mir Reid got in over him were 211. To offset these Mr Hurley received q goodly number of pastors over his opponent on straight republican tic- kets. Republicans in the first, sec ond and third wards made a great onslaught on Walter. but they didn't do as we'll as they expected, for many of them claimed that every friend Dunham has in these districts would put pink paster on the man from Cheshire.

Although Harry Minor, democratic commissioner on the board of safety
 may not have had any intention of raising a stir among the democrats when he took the ballots; the other evening, it has caused plenty of talk or kind which is not all favorable to Harry. Some go as far as to say that he took the ballots to paste one of the candidates whom we'll known man of this city did not care to have elected. Minor did not re- turn the ballots to Chairman Freney Of the town committee, but stated that he had sent them out to demo- cratic voters in this city. There are "a number of democrats under the im- pression that Minor has acted very, linwisely the past few weeks and he seems to have made himself open to much criticism. He certainly is not as popular us before tho election of yesterday and if there is anything III that superstition that ones ears burn when people are talking about you, the ears of the safety commits sioners must have been red hot to- day.
