ANCIENT M0N0POLIES.
A Corner In Corn In the Early Days Of
the Egyptians.

A Corner In Corn In the Early Days Of
the Egyptians.
The evil of mOnOpOlies and rings was
known to ancients. Aristotle referring
to them in his "Politics." and then. as
now. 1t was found necessary to hold
them In check by legislation. The mo-
nopolist was in Roman law called a
dardanarius aud punished under the
Lex Julia de Ammonia. MOnOpOlies Of
clothing. fish and all articles OF food
were prohibited by the Emperor ZenO
under pain of confiscation and exile. so
that II is certain that the rings Of the
ancient days were as mlschievOus as
they are now. At Athens law lin
tied the amount Of corn man might
buy. The earliest recorded instance we
have was corn ring.
There is an ancient tradition that the
king who made Joseph his prime min
lister and committed into his hands the
entire administration Of Egypt was
Apepi. Apepi was one of the shepherd
kings and ruled over the whole of
Egypt as JOseph's pharaoh seems to
have done. The prime minister during
seven years Of remarkable plenty
bought up every bushel Of corn beyond
the absolute needs Of the Egyptians
and stored it. During the terrible fam
inc that followed he was able to get
his own price and bartered corn sue
ressively for the Egyptian money, cat
tie and land and. taking One-fifth for
pharaoh. made him supremely wealthy.
1t was not merely a prOvident act. but
very polite one. his policy being to
centralize power In the mOnarch's
hands. Answers.

PERSIAN RIVERS.
They Take . New Name at Every
Town Upon Their Banks.

They Take q New Name at Every
Town Upon Their Banks.
In Persia n river is generally called
by the name Of the town on its banks,
and therefore changes its name at each
town 1t reaches. This" writes Colonel
Stewart in Through Persia In Dis
guise," "makes 1t very difficult to learn
the right names of the rivers.
MY groom was an Armenian and
very much more intelligent than ordi-
nary Persians. since he had been edu-
Gated at a mission school at Ispahan
One day he was swimming about In
some water we passed, and said to
him. NO doubt you learned to swim
In the Zayendeh Rud-the river that
flows by lspahan. No. SIR he replied,
L did not learn to swim in the Zayen-
deh Rud, but In the Ispahan river
He actually did not know that the
large river passing his native town
was called the Zayendeh Rud, or, in
other words, that the Ispahan river
and the Zayendeh Rud were one and
the same.
Another instance of this confusion
is shown by what people call the
Abrishmi river. The name of the river
is the Kal Mura, but the majority Of
Persians and also Europeans cross 1t
on the main post road between Meshed
and Teheran by a bridge that was
built by silk merchant and that is
called 'Pul-Abrishmi,' or the silken
bridge; so they call the river the
'Abrishmi' or the silken river which
is certainly not its name. The river,
which flows by Khusf, although at this
point very slightly brackish, lower
down becomes very salt indeed and
finally is lost in the desert.
"Karez, or underground canals, car
ry the water Of this river in every d.
rection over the country. | think the
wonderful patience shown by the Per-
slams In the labor of excavating these
underground channels for water is sur
prising. Every drop Of water has to
be bored for and tunneled through
miles and miles of ground before the
precious liquid reaches the crop for
which 1t is intended"

STAGE FRIGHT.
Not Even q Veteran 10 Wholly Free
From, the Disease.

FROM tne Dfsedse'
n is said that there are really few
public personages who are free from
liability TO stage fright. The veteran
Is as likely to he affected as the novice.
Frequently the attack comes when
least expected, and. no matter how
often the speaker or the artist may
have faced an audience. he can never
feel quite certain that he will not un-
lergo the tortures of this form of
nervousness.
II Is curious fact e'vertheless that
stage fright sometimes stimulates in
stead of hopelessly confusing the
speaker or performer There Is story
to the effect that friend Of Canning
once observed to him Just as that
great man was about to address the
house of commons on an important
measure: "Why, your hands are cold
and clammy. You are nervous
"In that case" Canning is reported
to have replied, 81 shall make a good
speech" And the prediction was fully
verified, since the orator was at his
very best on that occasion.
For obvious reasons musicians are
among the worst sufferers from stage
fright. One artist trembles. another
perspires excessively, third suffers
from headache. and fourth is con
sumed with n terrible thirst. Its most
embarrassing manifestation. chiefly
among those performing upon stringed
instruments. lies in the nervous trem-
bling of the bow when sustained notes
are attempted.
Pianists, too. have their troubles in
this respect. and many artists have
told OF cases wherein "their fingers
ran away with them" Singers ex-
perience a .'catch in the throat that
Is deadly. to say nothing Of twitch-
Ing of the lips, fatal to clear enuncia-
ton.
II is related that Rubinstein. in the
height OF his powers. gave over the
profits Of lucrative engagement for
no other reason than that he suffered
an attack Of this curious malady.-

The most striking things about a

1t has not yet been determined what
