important notices from Washington.
One informs him that hereafter any

Hidden Women of Persia.


 Should the women of Persia ever get vote, they will doubtless see to it that the lot of their sex is con siderably improved, for at the pres snt time they are regarded as non entities. A husband in Persia never speaks of his wife to his acquaint- Ances, and, if obliged to mention her, It is by some other term than wife, as mother of my son. of "my house." She must not exist for anyone but her husband and from all others she must be hidden-non-existin For lhis reason when the harems of gov ernors or very high personages pass through the streets of Persia the men whom they meet either turn their backs or slip down a by-street or into some convenient doorway.
 On passing a European, if sure that none of her co-religionists see her, a woman, particularly if she be young and good looking, will often raise her veil, from under which a pair of dark eyes follow the stranger with curi- Dus gaze.

TT BENTON, N. J.-James Williams, a farm hand of White Horse, who is a firm believer in the ground hog weather theory, was put under the care of physician as the consequence of his endeavor to capture the anil nal and keep him out of his hole, so that the six more weeks of winter would be eliminated. Williams expe- rience was such that he says he will never bother the ground hog again.
 For several weeks Williams had boasted to friends that he had found the ground hogs hole and announced that when the proper time arrived he intended to insure the community good weather by forcing the animal to re- main in the open, even if he did see his shadow.
 Several volunteered to aid him in the capture, but Williams desired all the honor, and said he could perform the feat single handed. Before dawn he went to the supposed hole of the
