CHILDISH PERSIAN WOMEN.

In the shah's harem Worth of
Paris finds a market for o~ut-of-date
costumes, and so vain and feminine
are these queens that they will
pay the most exorbitant sums for an
exclusive model, if they can thereby
prevent a rival queen" obtaining
it. AS a general rule, however,
these women, for all the luxury of
their surroundings, are most child
ishly ignorant and their sole ambi-
ton in life is to be the mother of the
heir to the throne. The principal
queen Of the late shah, however, was
an exceptionally clever woman. She
was no mean poet and her verses
on the beauties of nature are gems
of their kind.

Twain,s Emsncipasion.


An honorary degree was once con
ferred on Mark Twain BY d humble In
stitutfon in a Missouri town that had
known him when he was playing Tom
Sawyer there in real life. 4. Il,
It happened that the degree confer
ring ceremonies took place one lazy day
In June when newspapers generally
were suffering from a total collapse OF
everything in the way of news. NJ
One New York news editor raked
the land with a figurative fine tooth
comb and got dry haul for his pains.
Then, recalling that Mark Twain was
getting his honorary degree that very
day, it occurred to him that a message
direct from the famous atRhor might
relieve the situation in the news. Aft
er much scratching of the editorial
idea factory he evolved this query,
which was transmitted to Mark Twain
by wire: Il
How does it feel to be a doctor Of laws?
Please wire answer at our expense.
After a wait Of several hours this
characteristic response came hot over
the wire from Missouri:
It feels like emancipation from ignorance
and vice. = MARK TWAIN.

Reed and Stroue,

Thomas B. Reed served in the navy
during the civil war, and in 1865 he
returned to Portland to practice law.
One Of the strongest men at the Port
land bar at the time was A. A. Strout.
Before beginning the trial Of suit it
was Strout's habit to inquire of every
Juror as to the state Of his health and
impress each with the idea that the
lawyer was solicitous Of that jurors
personal welfare. Reed and Strout
were constantly antagonizing each
other, though they were very good
friends. In nearly every case Of i'm
portance shout and Reed were on op-
posite sides. 1t was annoying, indeed
for the suave Strout, to hear Reed
drawl out before the opening Of a
case: Isa
''Well, your honor, Brother strout
having finished his morning task of
shaking hands with the jury, we may
now, i hope, proceed with the bust

He Gave Her a Present.

When was young man Lady Jer-
sey was one of the leaders of fashion,
and her house was the resort of poll
hcians and others. With her lived her
daughter, Lady Clementine villiers, a
handsome and clever girl. The custom
had been established that all friends
should give the latter present on her
birthday, and these presents were set
out in an antechamber. Among these
friends was Lord Brougham, then an
old man. He called on birthday, but
had forgotten what the occasion was,
and had brought no present. Seeing a
mass Of presents laid out, he seized one
Of them and took it. In as his present,
rightly counting that the young lady
would not remember that it was one
that already had been given to her.
And very proud he was of his pres
ence Of mind. But, then, he was an

Many LANGUAGES of Mexico,

During the fiesta of Christmas or the
week OF All Souls and All Saints, when
the Indians swarm down from the
mountains with their holiday wares
for sale, visitors in the City of Mexico
may notice the strange language that
the vendors use in addressing each
other. Even when they turn to serve
the purchaser their Spanish is neither
Castilian nor Mexican, but is frequent.
~ broken by peculiar syllables and
accents. This is merely an illustra-
ton of the fact that the Indian Ian
guages Of old Mexico have not been
entirely submerged by the conquering
Spanish, and in some of the most re-
mote districts of the republic various
and distinct languages handed down
from the pre- Columbian era are still
spoken in their pristine purity by many
tribe members.-Mexican Herald.

The Wrist and the Arm.

The real wrist, asa one might say; is
the elbow joint tt is$ ali hand, prac.
tically speaking, from that point to the
tips OF the fingers. When you turn
your wrist it is the whole forearm
that makes the twist and every move,
ment Of the fingers Is controlled BY the
muscles Of the forearm. The power
TO turn the wrist to and fro at; the ell.
bow joint Is possessed only by human
beings and monkeys, and even the
higher apes are not able to do the trick
nearly as well as we can. In this
movement the great biceps muscle
In the upper arm is Importantly con
cerned, its powerful action In turning
the forearm outward being accounta-
BILE for the fact that we are able to
put so much more strength into twist
In that direction than the opposite
way. Many Of our most familiar tools
indeed, such as the screwdriver, are
made with reference to the anatomical
regularity In question. It is for this
reason and no other that all screws
turn, to the right.

Y 1t is possible, even probable, that the
sea serpent myth started in all good
faith. In the southern seas grow the
gigantic algae, the largest of which
measure from 400 to 600 feet in length.
These when rolled on the beach form
enormous cables several hundred feet
long and as thick as good sized tree

by storms may very easily have given

Important to Parents.

The undersigned is in receipt, of
communication from the board of
health, notifying him as follows of
the necessity of successful vaccination
being performed on all children at
tending the public schools:
Sept. Z, 1908.
President OF the Board Of Education,
a.i \, Bismarck, N. D.
Dear Sir: AT a meeting of the
city board of. health, Sept. 1908, it
was decided to call your attention to
paragraph No. z, Of the Regulations
Of the State Board Of Health of Feb.
3. 1906, which is as follows:
No child shall be permitted
TO enter any school in the state
until satisfactory evidence Of
successful vaccination has been
given to the. proper. authorities"
In the opinion Of the board this
rule should be- enforced to its fullest
extent.
4 Yours respectfully,
tsigned) N. @. RAMsTAD,
Secretary.
On behalf of the board of education
I..desire to- call, the attention of. the
parents tosthe necessity of strict
compliance with this wise provision
of the state board of health. The
appearance Of a single case of small
pox among the children attending the
schools might be followed by the
compulsory closing of all public
schools in Bismarck, a disastrous
contingency which it is desired to
avoid If possible. A strict and
prompt compliance with the rule laid
down will go a long way towards
effecting this result and this letter is
published in full in the hopes that
parents and others having the welfare
and education of their children at
heart may take, the necessary pre-
cautions.
