SCHOOL HABITS IN PERSIA.
Boys Sit on Floor and Reeite Lessons
as " Chanting.

Oriental children have their mar
lies, their skipping rope and the little
toy plows into which cats and kittens
are harnessed for play. They enjoy
life fully as much as do American
children. When the boys are ~ years
old they are sent to school In the
nearest mosque. Parents will some
times take boy to school and de-
liver him over to the gentle care OF
the teacher with these words: Ellis
bones are mine, but his flesh Is yours.
Teach him and punish him as you see
fit"
When boys 90 to school they usu.
ally sit In two rows. One row sits
along one wall, books in hand, and
the other row along the opposite wall.
The teacher sits In the middle Of
the room. They do not use chairs.
but sit on the floor, which Is COW

they are studying their lessons they

Ing.
They have neither blackboards nor
states, but use paper and reed pens
In learning TO write. They put their
left knee on the floor and set their
right one up for desk to rest the
paper ON. They use the Arabic al
phabet and read and write from right
to left instead Of from left to right.
They also begin their books at the
back, reading forward. The ability
to read q single Persian book is con.
sidered in Central Asia to be the sign
Of liberal education. The attend.

How much do you want for

He was named a trivial sum.

brought them with him to this
country, had them cleaned and
sold them at n good profit. The
tapestries for St. Johns Cathe-
dral on Morningside Heights

Mr.. Sypher crossed the Allan
tic forty times gathering articles
of value from various parts of
Europe.
There has been scarcely a per-
son of prominence and wealth in
New York in the last forty years
whom Mr.. Sypher did not know.
He had tales of Gen. Grant, old
Commodore Vanderbilt, Goulds
and most of the other wealthy
families of the city, which he
would tell to his intimate friends.
His advice was sought continu-
ally on the furnishing of homes
and evidence of his work may be
found in many a Fifth avenue
mansion. He was called upon al
most daily by the Custom House
officials to decide on the value OF
antiques.
Henry B. Treadwell died near
ly fifteen years ago and after that
Mr.. Sypher conducted the BUSH
ness alone. He was married to
Miss Elizabeth c. Fair, daughter
of William Fair, a wholesale
merchant of Newburg, N. Y, in
1867. He leaves a widow and one
daughter, Mrs. Charles Capron
Marsh, the wife of a New York
lawyer.

THE FIRST CURTAIN CALL.
voltaire One to Whom Original Honor
Was Paid.

At the first performance in Berlin
Of Gerhart Hauptmann's "Jungfrau
Won Bischofsberg" the author was re.
peatedly called before the curtain.
and the incident caused inquiry as to
when and where the practice Of honor.
ing an author In that way originated.
The Berliner Tageblatt gives this an
swer: THE first call took place on
the evening Of February 26. 1743. On
that memorable evening Voltaire's
'Merope' was performed for the first
time in Paris. The author was known
to the Paris public. but nothing that
they had seen Of him had pleased
them so much as 'Merope,' and the en-
thusiasm found expression In noisy
demands to see the author. In q
letter Voltaire says this of the Incl.
dent: They dragged me out and led
me by force to the box occupied by
the Duchesse de Villars and her
daughterin-law. The whole theatef
seemed to have gone mad-all shout
ed to the duchesse to kiss me. The
noise became 30 great that the lady
finally obeyed. So ! was like Alain
Charter, publicly kissed. but he was
asleep, while l was wide awake Now
authors answer similar calls by ap.
psaring before the curtain. They gain
insofar that they can be seen better
by their audience. but they must dis
penss with the duchess kiss--at least
in public"

OBADIAH LUM SYPHER
DEAD.
A Dealer Who Smashed
Fake Antiques with an
Axe.
Pioneer Importer Of Tapssfriss

Rich New Yorksrs-crosssd the
Afisnfie Forty rmss-0nsn 3D.
Vissd Customs officials.

The following article has ref.
erence to a brother of Mrs. Eliza.
beth Horton of this city. Mrs.
Horton had not seen her brother
for a great many years, and il
was quite shock to learn of his
death, which occurred on the 23rd
of August:
Obadiah Lum Sypher, one OF
the pioneer dealers in antiques in
this country, died yesterday at
his home at g East Park street,
East Orange, in his seventy
fourth year. He had been a suf-
ferer from heart trouble for some
time and returned only last Fri
day from a two months trip to
New Hampshire, where he had
been trying to regain his strength.
Mr.. Sypher was born in Flush
ing, L. /. When a few years old
his father. Abram Sypher, moved
to Orange county, and the boy
after getting an ordinary educa-
ton of those days entered coun-
try store. His ambition, however,
led him to New York and when
81 years old came to this city and
entered the employ of Daniel
Marley, a dealer in cheap an
tiques, who had a store in lower
Broadway. After he had been
with Marley two years he bought
him out and started to run the
business as he thought it should
be run, taking in Henry r.
Treadwell, until then of Tiffany
& Co., as partner.
The business of dealing in an
tiques took on a new aspect with
the starting of the new firm. 1t
is related of Sypher that if he
bought a piece of furniture which
he found out afterwards to be boz
gus he would take it out on the
sidewalk and put it out of circu-
lation with an axe. This gave
him a great reputation for hon
esty, and people felt that if Sy-
pher vouched for an antique it
must be all right.
1t is believed that he was the
first New York dealer to import
tapestries. He imported the
Baberini tapestries from the
Baberini palace, Rome, which
were owned by a famous Floren-
tine family of that name. He
once went into a ruined place in
Italy in which the walls were
black with age and dirt. Going

remembered, when a young barrister,
going into a barber shop to be shaved.
He was little startled to see the wo-
man behind the counter staring at him
from time to time through the glass
door. When he got outside the shop a
policeman said, II am very glad to
find you have come out" explaining
that his anxiety was due to the fact
that the barber came out of a lunatic

He is the largest Of the rodent tribe

they left before the show was over.
