PERSIAN SHAFTS PALACE.
Cheap European Decorations Instead of
Oriental Art.

During the Shah of Persia's visits to
! france and other parts of Europe his
! suite never tired of eXpatiating on the
wonderful magniticence of the monarch S
Persian palace. According to them, it
was dream of eastern splendOr, and
anything we poor western people could
show paled into insigEifcance before the
ghttering beauties of the Shah's dazzling
dwelling. But apparently this sort of
talk was only Oriental bluff. NJ. Claude
Anet, an observant Erenchman, has re-
Gently been III Persia, and, writing home
J from Teheran. lie gives some eye opening
details OF the much vaunted palace of
the Shah. In a country which, like Per-
STA, has produced treasures of artistic
decoration. it is rather curious to learn
that the Shah admits no ancient Persian
art within the walls Of his palace 1t is
all European, and European Of the
cheapest and most vulgar kind. In the

there, but it did not come from Delhi, as
is claimed, nor was it ever pressed by
the form of the Grand Mogul. 1t was
made at Ispahan III the beginning of the
Nineteenth century, and many of the
precious stones with which it was for
merly decorated are said to have been re-
placed with glass. The gardens are love-
ly, but the apartments of the palace are
filled with the most unlovely objects,
said to have been received by his majesty
as presents. The Shah's special apart
ment is encountered with musical boxes
of all kinds and automatic musical ma
chimes. His majesty sleeps on two
cushions on the floor. Near the cushion
on which he lays his head is small
table, on which are four photographs,
surrounding his own likeness-those of

Enamel Finish for Shelves.


An excellent idea for pantry shelves
is to give them two coats of ordinary
white paint, and then a third finishing
coat of white enamel. AS soon as
the enamel dries, wash it over with
cold water, and then it will harden
quickly. Do not cover these shelves
with OilclOth or paper, but leave them
bare and notice the Improvement. AS
there are no covers under which
crumbs, etc, can collect, there is moth
ing to encourage mice and the enamel
is easily wiped clean with damp
cloth. With enameled shelves it is new
er necessary to clean out the whole
pantry at once, for it keeps clean all
the time.

MAMMOTH WHITE OAK LOG.
Delivered at Warren; Sixty-two Feet
Long, Seven Through

A white oak tree, the largest ever cut
in Trumbull county, at least for over fif~
ty years, was brought to the Holman
ship timber mill at Warren, 0. The tree
as it was delivered to the mill measured
sixty-two feet in length and seven feet
through. and contained 1865 feet of lum-
Der. board measure. This tree was locat-
ed by Mr.. Helman's buyers on the farm
of c. X Shipman in Gustavus and 500
was the price paid for it In lumber
mans lore each ring found on tree,
counting out from the center, means a
years growth, and the workmen who
cut the tree counted 1850, and then tired,
not finishing the job. The Holman com
pany will dress the stick down to 3Ox3O
inches, sixty-two feet long. and will ship
it to New York to be used as a dredge

Treating Wrong Disease,

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or proStration, another with pain here and
tnere and IN this way they all present
allke to themselves and their easy-goina
and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep.
arate and distinct diseases for which he,
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause Of suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The SUI
ferlng patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complication
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed to the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling ali those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead OF prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said, that "a disease known is half
cured"
DR.. Pierce's Favcrite Prescription is a
scientific medicine, carefully devised by
an experienced and skillful physician,
and adapted to woman's delicate system.
IL IS made OF native medicinal roots and
is perfectly harmless in it's effects in ana
condition of the system.
AS powerful lnVlgOratlng tonic VA

the whole system and to the organs dis

Is Your Dairy Farm IL Success:


Are you making all there is to be
made in the dairy business? If not,
why not? This is a question which
every dissatisfied dairyman may well
disk himself. When a business man or
manufacturer finds his business is not
paying to suit him he seeks for the
causes Of loss and strives to eliminate
them.
If we investigate we shall find that
the successful dairymen attend to every
little detail that affects their business.
They look at everything from a bust
ness standpoint, save wherever any
thing can be saved, and discard ami
mails or methods that don't pay.
If you are not one Of the success
full dairymen, look around and see why
you are not. There is a reason for
reason you are in a position to remedy
the trouble. If you have no liking for
your business, the sooner you change
to something you do like the better it
will be for you and those dependent up
on you. Have you tested your COWS
individually and discarded those which
show by their own performance that
they are not profitable? The Babcocl1
test and the scales will show which
are profitable and which are not, and it
is sheer shiftlessness not to apply such
