Ice In Persia.

The fact that ice is plentiful and
cheap makes living in Persia more
pleasant than 1t would otherwise be,
and the fact that 1t can be obtained
at all is indicative of the ingenuity of
the people of the country. The ground
is so porous that water percolates
through quickly. There are therefore
few rivers or lakes from which ice can
be obtained, and it is seldom so cold
In any part of Persia that ice of a
thickness suitable for packing would
form under the direct rays of the sun.
The Persian obtains his ice by making
a shallow pool and building a high
wall which will protect 1t from the
sun. A thin layer of ice will form.
This he foods at night with water, and
so he goes on adding inch to inch until
he can cut a. block of considerable
thickness.-Los Angeles Times.

Thu JOY of Pockets.

The pocket has to be lacked before 1t
is properly appreciated, the London
Chronicle says. This writer had taken
his pockets as a matter Of course until
one evening he attended a fancy dress
ball in a costume which, he discovered
when too late to remedy the defect,
was absolutely pocketless. The ques-
ton at once arose what to do with
pocket handkerchief, money, cloak
room ticket and so on. The handker-
chief, of course, went up his sleeve,
but 1t took some minutes to devise re-
c~eptacles for coins and other necessa-
ries in the lining Of the cap, the heels
of the shoes and the cuff of the coat.
All night long, however, he felt lost
through having no place to thrust his
hands into. Since then he finds him
self frequently putting his hands into
his pockets to experience the sheer JOY
of knowing that they are there.

SEARCHING FOR
JOSEPH KLEIN
Cortiandt Street. StOreksee-
or Missing for Past Month

Joseph Klein, proprietor Of o
mems furnishing and novelty store
at Col Cortlaudt street, has been
missing from his home for almost a
month. Klein was In poor health
and was in the habit Of going off to
sa|nitariums at short notice in the
hope Of effectiuE a cure. When he
left he said that he was going to be
cured but he did not make it clear
just where he intended to go. He
was traced as far as PinebrOOk where
he stayed several days. When he
left there he said he was going to
New York to another place. Since
that time nothing has been heard
from him.
When Klein left this city he was
very weak and 1t is feared that he
may have met with a serious acct
dent and been taken to a hospital.
Being unable to write English he
could not communicate with his fam
lily. Post cards bearing a picture of
Klein and his description are being
sent to all the hospitals and institu-
tiOns in this section of the country
where he might have gone. The
search for Klein has been taken up
by Leo Goldberger, but his efforts
have thus far met with failure.
The picture of Klein which is be-
ing sent around this section of the
country was taken in 1895 and is not
a very good likeness of the man. No
later m could be procured. His de-
scription is: Age, about fifty-fve
years, looks older; uses eyeglasses;
complexion, dark; about 6 feet 2
inches in height; clean shaver; wore
gray underwear and rubber stocking;
%converses in English, German and
Hungarian.
Any information of Klein's where
abouts will gladly be received by Leo
G~oldberger. Mr.. Klein's family is
frantic with grief and fear that he
has met with foul play. Klein had a
habit of making trips to various
health resorts and it may be that he
is staying at one of these places with
the hope of being cured of his all
ment.

TAXES AND TORTURE.
The Duke Of AIva's Tenth Penny"
- That Caused Riots In Spain.

49, That Caused Riots In Spain.
One of the most absurd and tyran-
meal measures of taxation that were
ever imposed upon a people was that
ordered by the despotic Duke of Alva,
prominent In the history of Spain up
to 1882, when he died.
For six years he was governor gen
eral of the Netherlands and levied a
tax called the tenth penny" or 10
per cent, upon every article of mer-
chandise, to be paid as often as it
should be sold. He assessed real and
personal property l per cent, to be
paid instantly and collected once, and
on every transfer of realty he exacted
5 per cent.
Every one in the land, excepting
Alva himself, perceived how utterly
ridiculous a scheme it would prove,
but he persisted in enforcing the rule.
The towns rebelled, and examples by
dozens were made of refractory sub
jects, who were tortured to death, but
to no purpose.
Finally Philip IL, the Spanish king,
was petitioned, and a temporary COM
promise was effected by which the
towns were to pay 100000 an
nualiy for the two succeeding years,
until August, 1871.

EXQUISITE PAIN.
Tho Fifth and Dental Nerves Are the
Most Agonizing ThriiIers.

Most Aeonizina ThriIlers.
Which part Of the human body is the
most sensitive to pain?
A sharp definition must be drawn
here between irritation and pain. Irri-
tation is not pain, but only a frequent
cause of it. Thus a crumb lodged In
the larynx near the vocal cords pro-
duces violent irritation and prolonged
coughing, which often result in actual
pain. So, too, a fly or speck of dust in
the eye sets up violent irritation and
Inflammation, followed by acute pain.
Of the surface of the body the finger
tips and the end Of the tongue are most
sensitive. For instance, a burn on the
fingers is much more painful than n
on the back would be, while n on the
tongue would be more painful still.
Deep wounds are not painful, as a
rule, save as regards the surface in
jury. OF pains not caused by external
injuries neuralgia Of the fifth nerve,
the one which supplies the skin Of the
head and face, is the most intense. 1t
has frequently driven people mad for
the time being, and sufferers nave been
known to cut and even burn the flesh
In desperate attempts to relieve 1t. The
rupture of the branches of the dental
nerve In tooth drawing also causes
agony so intense that 1t has been stated
that no human being could endure 1t
for more than two seconds at a time

THE CATSKlLL GNOMES.
Legend Of the Ugly Elves and Hendrick
Hudson and His Men.

legend OF the Ugly Elves and Hendrlck
Hudson and His Men.
In the Catskill mountains, back of
Grand Hotel station, is a large amphi-
theater where, Indian legend tells US,
live the ugly little Catskill dwarfs
with bushy boards and eyes like pigs
who can do many marvellous things.
They work surprisingly well in met
ais, and 1t is from their FORCES that in
autumn comes the haze of Indian sum-
mer.
But their most marvellous feat is the
brewing of q liquor which shortens the
bodies and swells the heads of all who
drink it.
1t was to their tender mercies that
Hendrick Hudson and his men fell,
having landed from the Half Moon
and lost their way among the noun
tains. The gnomes held a mad ca
rouse In their honor, capering and
dancing around the amphitheater and
bringing forth great fagons of their
magic wine.
Hudson and his men drank freely
and deeply, only to become misshapen,
ugly dwarfs from that time forth.
Since then they have wandered around
the Catskill mountains, appearing to
men once in twenty gsars
The last time they were due to be
seen was in 1909. So now they will
not appear again until 1920, whom any
one daring enough can go up to the
mountains to test for himself the truth
Of the legend.-Alice Phebe Eldridge In
