very level-headed sort of an individual, but sometimes rather irascible, and has. in the course of his career, made some bitter enemies. His chief boast has always been that there is nothing superstitious about him. He would rather walk under a ladder on side walk than go around 1t. If he spilled salt on the tablecloth he would laugh to scorn anyone who would suggest throwing a pinch of it over his left shoulder. and would rather begin a new enterprise on Friday than on any other day of the week, just to show people that he is not superstitious.

Modern. Education Fad in Persia.

F'r m the Chicago Record-Herald.
 Modern education has become fad in Persia, as it has in China. Last year the government brought out five French pro- fessors for the Imperial college. The American high school at Teheran was opened in 1887 and has been growing rap idly until last year there were 22O stud ents enrolled, an increase from sixty-six students in ten years. About 100 are from the nobility and 12S are Mohammedans; the remainder are Jews. Armenians and Zoroastrians. They come to Teheran from every part of the country, and the fact that the Bible is fought openly as q textbook does not seem to deter them. It Is not considered an objection even by the orthodox Mohammedans.

Irish Church Bells.

1t was about the time of st. Pat
rick, in the fifth century, that bells
began to be adopted in the Christian
church, though their use in other di-
rections was long anterior to Chris
tianity, as Mr. Layard records having
found some in the palace Of NimDud.
The first Christian bells, like Patrick's,
weighed only few ounces and from
that day gradually increased till the
greatest weight was reached at Mos
COW With 1913 tons OF beautifully en-
riched work, strange contrast to the
humble "Clog-an -eadhachta Patraic,"
or 'bell Of Patrick's WE'LL" sometimes

high by five inches broad, four inches
deep, made of thin sheets Of hammer
ed iron, bent into four sided form,
fastened with riyets and brazed or
bronzed. This bell is at once the most

The Puffed Out Chest.

.'The puffed out chest is a -de1usion
which has succumbed to scientific
knowledge Of the human body" said a
drill officer. "It came into existence
purely for show reasons or from false
analogy. 1t was seen that men deep
in the chest were strong men, and the
old drill sergeants probably imagined
that by making men throw out their
chests they would make them strong,
as we'll as make them look strong,
which Is a complete mistake Instead
Of strengthening a man, putting his
chest tends to weaken him, as it
throws strain upon the heart. We
now tell men to be sure and not puff
out their chests, If you puff out your
chest and do dumbbell exercise you
are to hold the breath. That strains
the heart. Any exercise that prevents
breathing freely is bad. Knotted mus
cles are also wrong. You see a man
with immense chest muscles and per-
haps you think he is really an ideally
trained man, but such muscles simply
bind the chest and tie the heart down.

A Catch Question,

OF Bishop Short, who held the see of
st. Asaph, many curious stories are
told. Occasionally he put questions to
candidates for ordination that appar-
nelly had no connection with the dis
charge of their parochial duties. They
tested probably their wit or tact, two
necessary qualifications to public men,
but nothing more. One such question
proposed by the bishop was the fol-
lowing: (which has the greatest mum
ber of legs, a cat or no cat?''
AS might be expected, this created a
litter, but the bishop would not take a
laugh as the answer, and consequently
he repeated the question and desired
some one to solve the problem. Atlast
one of the candidates, smiling, said, ''I
should think, my lord, cat.''
''No," retorted the bishop; "there you
are wrong, for cat has four legs, and
no cat has London Telegraph.

"kosher" Butchers.
Milwaukee, June 26.-Excitement
reigns throughout the Jewish ghetto
on account of an attempt of a dozen
"kosher" butchers to increase the
price Of meat.
Two mass meetings have been held
by people who refused to pay the new
price, boycott has been established,
would-be purchasers have been intimi-
dated, fights over meat have occurred
in the streets, an angry crowd has
picketed the markets for two days
and several rioters have been arrested.
Last week the price of kosher beef
was to 10 cents a pound at retail,
this week it is to 13 cents. Market
men say they increased the price be-
cause the wholesalers did the same
first .....-
The people of the Jewish district
say that there Is well organized
combine among the "kosher" market
! men and the "shoshet" (holy men ap-
pointed by the rabbis to kill cattle and
poultry) to keep up the price of meat.
