PERSIA'S NEW SHAH.

He will Carry Out the Political Re
 forms of His Father.
 The political reforms recently grant ed In Persia by Muzaffar-el-Din, the present Shah, who Is now critically sick, will be continued by his son and successor, Mohammed Ali Mirza, who is acting as regent during the indispo- sition of his father. This young man Is 28 years old and Is liberal in his views. His education was received in Prussia, Frenchmen and Englishmen being his tutors. He is literally in. clined and is regarded by those who know him as a young man of great promise.
 It Is difficult to imagine popular suf- frage in Persia, which has SO long been under autocratic sway. Nevertheless, during the year the Shah issued a de cree providing for Parliament which will frame a constitution for the king dom and will meet annually hereafter for the purpose of revising old laws and edicts and enacting new ones as they may be required. Under this de- cree all Perslans of the male sex able to read and write, between the ages of 30 and 70, who are not in the service of the State and who have never been convicted of crime, are entitled to vote for members of the Chamber of Deputies. This new Persian Parliment met In October and the work of draft

whom Montesquieu denominates the modern Lycurgus. He was the son of Admiral Penn, was born at London In 1644, and was educated at Christ church, Oxford. At college he imbibed the principles of Quakerism, and hay ing endeavored to disseminate them by preaching in public, he was thrice thrown into prison. It was during his first Imprisonment that he wrote "No Cross, No Crown" In March, 16S0-S1, he obtained from Charles II. the grant of that territory which now bears the name of Pennsylvania. In 1882 he en- parked for his new colony; and in the following year he founded Philadel- phia. He returned to England In 1884, and died in July 171S. He was a phil osopher, legislator, an author, the friend of man, and, above all, pious Christian.

MT. Millais tells how rabbits swim when compelled to: "They swim with the head held as high as possible, while the hooks of the hind legs appear above the element at each stroke. The shoul- ders and front part of the body are buried beneath the water, while the trump and tail are high and dry"
 Natural enemies of the animal world are sometimes found living together In extraordinary communities. The same writer quotes this experience of an ob- server: "On one occasion when ferret Ing I bolted fox, a cat, a stoat and several rabbits and rats out of the same earth. The fox bolted first, after giving the ferret nip across the back, from the effects of which 1t died an hour later. Next came the stoat and then the cat, both of which shot. Then followed the rabbits and rats promis- cuously. It was a large burrow on the bank of deep dry watercourse, and often held fox when ferreted 1t afterward."
 Interesting figures on the relative agility of hares and rabbits are given in a recent volume by J. G. Millais. "When running at ease," he says, "ths length of the hare's stride is about four feet; but under conditions of fear its leaps extend to ten and twelve feet, while some authors claim that 1t can jump ten ditches twenty to twenty five feet In width. Perpendicularly a hare can jump on to a five-foot wall, but seems to be nonplused by one of about six feet. The stride of the rabbit Is about two feet; when necessary 1t can make leaps of six or seven fet hori- zontally. About three feet Is the high est that a rabbit can attain to even when helped by the asperities of . stone wall"

Watson Raine, an engineer in a New York theater building, has come into a fortune of $s0,O0O, but he declines to quit his humble work. My family wants me to stop working" he says, but I don't mean to. would die within a year if stopped work" It Is possibly true that the man who stops work is likely to die. Anyway, 1t Is true that he might Just as we'll. Ma ture abhors the superfuoua To sit down is to rust away. Nine people out of ten, perhaps would allow sudden acquisition of great wealth to end their usefulness They might give . little of their money, and therefore inn agine themselves benefactora But of themselves they would give nothing. Here Is one who loves his work for its own sake. Ills incentive to work is not the mere animal need of subsistence, but the human impulse to be of service to mankind. Here Is one of the lines that divide the animal from the human being. But how many of us walking on two legs and Invested of tails can honestly claim to be on the right side of that liner It would be impossible even to guess what proportion of us calling ourselves human have any def. inite purpose In life other than to get all we can by giving as little as possi- ble. Like the lowest of animals, the most of us grub to gratify our animal wants, and have little practical thought of anything beyond. Of course, we can pooh-pooh and say we would all do as this man Is doing, but the fact Is that when 1t Is put up to us, even in little things, mighty few of us make good The real substance of human life ia, not what we get. but what we give but what we do.

sALT AND SUGAR BAGS.
Mfr. Brown Learns Something About
 Their Household Uses.

Mfr. Brown Learns Something About Their Household Uses.
 Say, mother" said Letitia Brown, i've won't have any more salt bags will wei"
 "'No more salt bagsT" said MT. Brown to himself, having by chance overheard Letiua's remark. It took but little questioning to bring out in- formation on these points, and incl dentally there was elicited other bag Information, which. to MT. Brown, was even more interesting.
 Salt bags, 1t seems, are, In many households, when empty, washed out and used as dish cloths. But the Brown family has given up housekeep- Ing and gone to boarding; 1t retains It's apartment, just the same, but takes It's meals in neighboring good board Ing house. So naturally, they wouldn't be buying any more salt.
 Then Mrs. Brown said that, any how, they hadn't been using salt bags for some time, because lately, while salt is still put up In bags, they had been buying salt put up In wooden or in pasteboard boxes. They'd been making their dish cloths lately, she said, out of sugar bags. Sugar, 1t appears, once never so put up, Is now quite commonly sold In bags
 Casually, Mrs. Brown mentioned an- other use of salt bags that was new even to Letitia, who knew something about salt bags. Mrs. Brown said that once they had a servant who used to take the salt bags when they were emptied and open them out and wash the marks out of them, and then for economy's sake have them for hand kerchiefs for her little brother.
 And yet there remained the fact, mildly bewailed by Letitla, that there would be mo more salt bags" for dish cloths Here MT. Brown wanted to say to Lefty, Well, what of it? Not housekeeping any more, we shan't have any dishes to wash and we shan't want any dish cloths, salt ba g or sugar bag" But he didn't say these things, for he didn't want to hurt Letitia's feelings by showing her how little she looked ahead, nor did he want to make her feel worse by showing her how much more logical his mind. He said nothing, but just kept these things to himself, but not without his usual mod est consciousness of superiority Cleveland Plain Dealer.

RAISE PUMPKINS FOR sEEps.

Western Farmers Make Com fOFtabls
 Sums Out Of Product.
 Growing pumpkins for the seed Is an industry which Is developing among farmers in Iowa, says the New York World. Those who first tried the ex- pertinent found at once the industry c profitable one. The variety grown ia the Connecticut field.
 The pumpkin Is planted with tho corn and requires no increase of acre age for Its production, while 1t yields in seed from $5 to S6 per acre. The average price paid Is cents per pound, and the market has reached at times as high as 8 cents. The feeding value of the pumpkin Is doubled by removing the seed, which possess the properties of drying up the milch COWS.
 The work of handling the seed Ii carried on by the children of the farm, who first take the ripe pumpkin and pound 1t lightly on the ground, until the seeds are loose In the core. The pumpkin Is then broken open and tho seeds scooped out and they are then washed thoroughly and dried and arl ready for the scales.
 One dealer annually handles 1000 pounds of pumpkin seeds and urges the farmers in his region to raise moro. One large grower annually gets large check at Troy Mills for the summerl product and in places the children get enough money to pay all their school and college expenses.
 During the St Louis fair many went to the fair on the money realized from selling pumpkin seeds, and numerous tales are told of the comforts received from the sale of this before unheard- of product having money value in the market

DINING IN JAPAN.
If It's Your First Japanest Meal You
 Will Have . Trying Time

Ah Ats hour rlrst Japanest Meal You
 Will Have a Trying Time.
 If it's your first Japanese dinner you're having a dreadfully hard time. In the first place you must sit on the floor, for they don't have any chairs In Japan. You kneel down, and then you turn your toes In till one laps over the other, and then you sit back be- tween your heels. At first you are quite proud to find how well you do 1t, and you don't think It's 80 very un- comfortable. But pretty soon you get cramped, and your legs ache as If you had a toothache in them. You don't say anything, because you think that if the Japanese can sit thls way all day long you ought to be able to stand 1t a few minutes. Finally both your feet go to sleep. and then you can't bear 1t a moment longer, and you have to get up and stamp around the room to drive the prickles out of your feet, and all the little dancing girls giggle at you. This isn't your only trouble either. All you have to eat with Is a pair of chop sticks, and you're In terror lest you spill something on the dainty white mating floor. Now the floor of a Jap anese house isn't just the floor; it's the chairs and sofas and tables and beds as well. At home 1t would be mortify. Ing enough to go out to dinner and spill something on the floor, but in Japan, where people sit and sleep on the floor, 1t seems even worse. So you are unhappy till your little nesan (who Is the waitress and almost as prettily dressed as the dancing girls, but not Quite) comes laughing to your aid and shows you how to hold your chop sticks. After that you manage nicely the rice and the omelet, but the fish and the chicken you can't contriye to shred apart without dropping your chopsticks all the time. So between dances the maiko-the little girls about 12 years old-kneel down beside you and help you. They can't keep from giggling at your awkwardness, but you don't mind; you just giggle, too, and everybody giggles and has a lovely time-St Nicholaa

ing a constitution is now under way. Popular sentiment is in favor of lib- eral constitution and 1t may be ex- pected that before long Persia will take her place among the literally governed countries of the world.
 The Shah to whom Persia owes this great reform ascended the throne In 1S96 and up to the time of granting the right of a new constitution to his people had been a most absolute ruler. He was master of the lives and prop- critics of his people. The entire reve- nues of the country were at his dis. posal and his wish was law in even the most distant province. The change to constitutionalism is indeed revolution. ary and 1t Is a matter of satisfaction that the reforms projected by the fath- CT will. in the event of his death, be continued and confirmed by the son.
