Should the women of Persia ever
get a vote they will doubtless see to
it that the lot of their sex is consid-
erably improved, for at the present
time they are regarded as nonentities,
says an exchange.
A husband in Persia never speaks
of his wife to his acquaintance and, if
obliged to mention her it is by some
other term than wife, as mother Of
my son" or my house," She must
not exist for anyone but her husband
and from all others she must be hid
den-noneXiSting.
For this reason when the harems
of governors 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 coreligionists sees 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 a curl,

''Lassie!"
MoIeskin Is Profitable.
Copyright, 1914, by w. G. Chapman

Moleskins have been extensively
used in this country during the last
few years in making fur garments,
and practically all of the supply has
been imported from Europe. In the
belief that the common mole of east
ern United States produces fur of
equal value, skins were submitted to
professional %furriers, who stated that
the quality is superior to the foreign
product. A report on the economic
status of the eastern species was pub
lished during the year. The mole in
habiting the northwestern coast is
larger than the common eastern spe-
cies, and a number of these have been
collected in order to obtain a report
on the quality of the pelt. If the tex
ture of the fur proves to be as good as
that of the eastern animal, there is no
reason why trappers should not secure
a good income by capturing these ami
mails, as the area they inhabit is ex-
tensive. In many localities an acre
of ground supports as many as a hun
dred individuals. If this little animal
can be profitably trapped for it's fur
the problem Of freeing agricultural
areas from it will practically be
solved.
