'Teheran, March 10. fielding to the
loud prayers of priests and supported
by the national assembly, the shah
has discharged his own uncle, Prince
Settles Sultan, from the governor
generalship of Ispahan and appointed
Nizam es sultan to be his successor.
Nizam es sultan was formerly an
assistant Of the present shah when he
was governor of Azerbaizan province.
The retirement of the powerful gov
5ernor general Of Ispahan, who for
several decades has been the autocrat
of that city, has strengthened. to a
very great degree the prestige of the
national assembly.
Teheran is flooded with proclama-
tons melting the masses to resist the
return to favor Of Mira Ali Asghan
Khan, who was grand yizier in 1902,
and who has been summoned by the
shah from Europe for the purpose Of
placing him at the head Of govern

soth Far Stones and Scales Carry tha

It has been found BY ichthyologists
that the age Of q fish may be read from
Its scales. These increase Id size By
anntllar growths, two rings being form
ed each year. The ssotoliths' or ear
stones, which lie In two sacs on either
side Of the base Of the cranial cavity,
afford another means of determination.
Like the scales, the otoIiths increase
by two rings annually. Each spring
that is, from February to June a white
ring is formed, and each autumn that
Jig, from July to October ID black one.
Thus the number OF either white OF
& black rings In an otolith gives the age
I OF the fish In years. In the case of
fiaffish the lattag method has been
found more reliable, Whereas In the
case Of the cod the scales give a bet

"A southern lady In q diary which she
kept throughout the civil war tells of
q bonnet which she made and which
was regarded as quite stunning" The
author Of Dixie After the War
quotes from the diary as follows:
We had been wearing coal scuttle

ries. Coffee berries dye q lovely green.
You might remember that IL you are
ever In war and blockaded.
When the northern ladies' appeared
on the streets Of Richmond they did
& not seem to have on any bonnets at all.
They wore tiny, three cornered affairs,
! tied on with narrow strings, and all
their hair showing In the back. We
/ thought them the most absurd and
triding things. But we made haste 10

Came Out to

Hartman SyssSSA~
WORK HE ACCOMPLISHED
IN THE NORTHWEST
Diffused Information Regarding
Equipment, Power, Exten-
siOns and New Tracks.

About two weeks ago j. C. Stubbs,
traffic director Of the Hartman system,
was in Salt Lake. He remained few
hours only, and was then on his way TO
New York, after making a tour Of the
West and Northwest for the purpose Of
getting into closer touch with the
patrons of the road.
Mr.. Stubbs has been evidently telling
writer for the New York Commercial
of his mission, and that writer says Of
"Mr. Stubbs has Just returned, feel.
ing that his mission has not been
destitute of good results. He has
visited every important business cen
ter, personally conferred with lead
ing men in commerce and trade, and
is hopeful that his missionary work has
had the effect of inspiring a more
cordial feeling toward the system that
he represents, where previously sharp
antagonism had been manifest.
Gone important object he had In
view was to counteract as far as pos
sible the effect Of the inquiry the Inter
state Commerce commission has been
making concerning matters connected
with the Hartman system, and also to
stem the wave of public sentiment in
the Northwest which had been rolled up
against the railroads. He found the
lumbermen in the extreme Northwest
invoking the aid OF legislatures TO
compel the railroads TO accelerate the
movement of freight. to supply their de-
mands for cars. TO reduce rates and TO
decrease their capacity and power 10 is
sue securities.
''For three weeks his time was taken
up with following the commission while
it was engaged in probing various mat
ters relating to the Hartman system
and their attendant results Then The
Spokane rate case, and much time also
was spent with shippers in every To-
cahty for the purpose Of hearing their
grievances and striving to effect ADJUST
ments.
''He availed himself Of every oppor-
tunity to make addresses TO commercial
bodies and other meetings, and IN this
way gave out much information in re-
gard to equipment and power, exten-
sions and new tracks, and expenditures
made by the Hartman system during
the past ten years In the effort TO dis
charge a public duty to the best pos
sible advantage. ~
