Teheran's Water Supply.

Teheran, the center of the civil
war now raging in Persia, has within
the last twenty years undergone the
most rapid transformation of all ORR
entail cities. Since the old .four-mile
wall was taken down and the ditch
filed up to form a broad boulevard,
gas, tramways and telegraphs have
modernized the ancient birthplace of
Haroun-aERaschil. To preserve the
character of the city, however, the old
pits that tap the subterranean water
courses, on which all local life de-
ponds, are still as they were centu-
sies ago.

= A GRIM CEREMONY.
An Emperor's Death Fastened by Re-
hearsins His Own Funeral.

An Emperor's Death fastened by Re-
hearsing His Own Funeral.
Emperor Charles V. of Spain brought
about his death by rehearsing his own
funeral. For the last two years Of his
life, after resigning the scepter of
Spain and the Netherlands to his son
Philip in 1866, Charles retired to the
monastery of Yuste, in Estremadura,
and there lived a cloister life in close
intercourse with the monks, devoting
much time to religious exercises. Dur
ing this period, prompted, it may be, by
the example of Cardinal de la Marck,
who for several years before his death,
In 1923, had annually rehearsed his
own obsequies, the emperor, in the
summer of 1858, formed the resolution
to celebrate his own funeral before he
died.
Accordingly, on Aug. 80 of that year,
the grim farce was carried out with
the most elaborate ceremonial. The i'm
perial domestics marched with black
tapes in their hands, and the emperor,
clad in sable weeds, himself followed,
wearing his shroud While the solemn
mass for the dead was sung before the
high altar in the cathedral Charles
gave up his taper to the priest, typify-
ing thereby his resignation Of life, and
was solemnly laid his coffin. The cere-
mony closed with sprinkling holy wa
ter on his body; then, all the attend
ants retiring tho doors yporo ob1,t ond
Charles rose from his narrow bed and
withdrew to his private apartment.
The damping of the graveclothes in
duced chill, which, aided no doubt by
the mental depression caused by the
grewsome ceremony, induced a fever
which ended in his death three weeks
later, on the Dist of September, 1868.
