ESTABLISHED A NATIONAL BANK

With the death Of Muzafar-e-Deen Shah
will terminate the fifth reign Of the Khajar
dynasty Of Persia. 1t began with the de-
cisive triumph Of its founder, Aga Moham-
med Khan, in 1904, over all rivals and
claimants. Five reigns in that period, or an
average Of twenty-five years, speaks well
for the stability Of the dynasty.
After deducting the horrors which
have been too often attendant on ORR
entail government, the fact remains that
the monarchs of this dynasty have been
about on a level with what the life and
character of the nation were accustomed to
accept with quite as much satisfaction as
sovereigns generally receive in other lands,
with different, If not better. forms of civ
ilization. government must be judged
by environment. There is more or less
discomfort everywhere at all times, and
each nation Is accustomed to weigh and
condemn the others by it's own standards.
Authority in Persia has been exercised. as
according to existing conditions.

The Idle Young Person.

From the Pictorial Review.
There is a very unfortunate tendency In
girls who have left school to fall into a de.
plorably idle state, without regular occupas
ton of any kind, and unable to follow q
social round that keeps them busy with a.
succession Of pleasures. they become that
most unfortunate thing-the idle girl.
Parents seem to be strangely thoughtless
in allowing this condition to be reached.
Once established, the habit Is almost i'm
possible to break. These young people take
everything they can get, ask for more, con-
slider no one, and never think that, for all
they have been receiving In their school
life, they owe something in return IL 1t is
nothing more than noble womanly exam
pie of Industry. The parents OF such young
people-and young lads are as often found
in this category as young girls-have toiled
patiently for years, paid taxes, rates, school
bills and the thousand and one expenses
their children have demanded, and yet have
allowed childhood to grow to youth, ana
youth to more mature age, without I'M
pressing 1t with the obligation of paying its
Just debts to the world. Do these parents
expect that INDUCED and pampered child to
have a character strong enough to with.
stand the worlds demands on 1t? Is 1T pos
acters invariably go to the wall? Have they
no vision of weakness and selfshness lead
ing to possible crime? They have gained
their way through industry and honesty,
vet they have not been firm in the govern
ment Of their child, and their virtues may
be of no influence on the nature allowed to
develop selfish1y.

A Singular Selfishness.

From the Pictorial Review.
Women are called unselflsh as a sex; is
1t unselfish to take the easiest part in life
and keep it because the law allows 1t? The
easiest part Is to be without responsibility
and to avoid thought Many women think
that II they work very hard in their homes,
are saving and careful they have as hard
q task as their husbands. Such women
are ignorant of the meaning of RESPONSE
bility, and they have avoided thinking
about it too closely. II they once had on
their shoulders the success or the failure
of supplying their entire household. they
would appreciate that the hardest work
without that anxiety was as chifd's play to
the responsibility Of meeting all those

Now, this impulse In women to make q
good trade" to get something for moth
ing, or for very little, may show thrifty
management, but. carried through every
thing does II not show mean spirit, or
at least selfish one? For there cannot
be real return made II a thing is got at
any advantage. To prevent workers from
being unfairly dealt with the cooperative
work of the Consumers League was in
stituted by some of those women who were

sity or obligation to do so. II 1 could
persuade all our readers to consider some
OF the serious and important subjects that
are being written and spoken of they will
commence to make return for all the
thought and effort the government has been
put to in their behalf.

One Of the peculiar features Of this place of

halls OF Negaristan.
The scene OF Morier's incomporable bur-
lesque story. "Hadji Baba." the ''Gil Bias
of Persia, was laid in the reign OF Feth
Alec Shah. That monarch was succeeded
by his son, Mohammed Shah, a respectable
sovereign Of moderate ability; not a bad
man, as sovereigns go. and according to his
lights If the monarchy lost somewhat In
power from being watched along the north
ern frontiers, on the other hand the gradual
increase Of foreign intercourse tended to de-
velop the mental purview Of the people and
prepare them to receive and follow the pa
triotic and progressive example OF his son
and successor, Nasr-e-Deen Shah, who Is
remembered for his numerous journeyings,
his genial disposition his yearning for mod
ern progress. his liberality and humanity
and his tragic fate. When the dificulties
he had to encounter are considered, the en-
vironment in which he lived, the constant
attempts at home and abroad to thwart his
aims. and the dignified affability of his dis
position. it must be admitted that Nasr-e-
Deem Shah, the fourth of the Khajar dyn-
asty of Persia. was entitled to rank with
the greatest of those who have been born
to command men and rule kingdoms. The
absurd stories that were told about his
journeyings to Europe were nine-tenths Of
them pure lies, fabricated in Paris and st.
Petersburg, to block whatever political
plans he may have had or was supposed to
have to increase alliances and friendships
at foreign courts that might inure to the
benefit of his people and throne.
IL was during the reign of Nasr-e-Deen
Shah that Russia proceeded so far in her
attempts on the Persian frontier as to
force even Mr. Gladstone to arouse from
his lethargy as to foreign policies and take
steps which have since then been pressed
with sufficient vigor to reduce for the
time the open or secret Entertainments of
Russia, and 1t may be said that from
that date the integrity of Persia has been
greatly strengthened by the growing i'm
portance- of that nation as a buffer state
between the ambition of Russia. the COM
mercial yearnings of Germany and the ne
cessities of Great Britain for maintaining
her dominion in India.

Shah that Babism arose in Persia. The

BONE CABIN QUARRY.
A Treasure House of Fossils Discovs
cred by Accident.

From Appetons Magazine.
A few years ago some men who were
crossing the Bad Lands of Wyoming
CHANGED upon a little hut once the home
Of a sheep herder, but long since aban-
doned
One of the party noticed that the house
did not rest directly upon the ground, but
upon piles of what seemed to be dark-coi-
ored stones.
In this part of the Bad Lands one seldom
sees even a pebble, and the stones aroused
his interest. Pulling out one which had
become loosened. he gave an exclamation
of surprise. 1t was a fragment of a bron-
tosaurus. the greatest creature known to
man.
Bone Cabin Quarry" as the place Is
now known to scientists the world over, Ia
by far the greatest hunting ground for
these animals of the past that has yet been
discovered.
Since it was first visited on that spring
day in the year 1898 the Bad Lands have
been the gathering place for fossil hunters
from both the old and the new world The
locality forms vast graveyard for the
monster lizards known as dinosaurs, as well
as strange horses that lived in the old days.
crocodiles older than any that ever 1oated
in the Nile, and mammoth turtles.
The way in which these hunters OF extinct
animals and reptiles find their mighty game
is interesting. In searching for it they
bring to their aid geology and natural his
tory. Their weapons are chiefly the pick,
shovel and spade, but some Of the places
containing the skeletons are so large that
they use plows and scrapers drawn by
horses to remove the earth covering
Bone Cabin Quarry itself is revelation.
After the cabin torn down and tho
richness of the find revealed, the ground
was divided into spaces twelve feet square
and one after another opened.
1t has taken six years working with
the pillow and shovel and spade to turn up
only about 1850 square feet-less than one
fifth Of an acre of surface-yet this small
space formed the resting place of parts or
seventy-three different animals. of whom
forty-four belonged to the family of dino
saurs. The explorers believe that right
here fully one hundred of these creatures
have lain in the earth for 100000 years or
more.
The opening OF the Bad Lands has made
Western America a veritable treasure house
for the fossil hunters, but before the dis
covery Of Bone Cabin Quarry they had
been securing such game" as elephants.
tigers and camels, although none of these
were alive when the lizard giants roamed
in their marshes.
We think of the camel in connection with
the deserts of Africa and Asia, but beasts
far larger than any which have ever formed
the caravans of the Sahara wandered over
southwestern America, where their skele-
tons have been unearthed by the pick and
shovel.

Ohio Fred is large falcon with curved
and wicked-looking beak and claws which
command respect from all. He was cap
tured by Chief Officer F. G. Mills when his
vessel was about 100 miles inside OF Uni

Mr.. Mills only secured Fred after hard
struggle. The bird alighted on the foretop
of the steamship one afternoon. There was
a heavy wind and the big bird was tired

struggle succeeded in brig Fred to the

nearly took the officer from the rigging.

the result was that Fred became the pet
and mascot Of the ship. 1t was only with
his captor that he would become friendly.
To any one else approaching he shows his
beak and threatens them with his claws
and they keep their distance.
