lLigltins London Streets.


 In 1416 citizens were obliged to hang out candles on dark nights to fIlumi- nate the streets This was enforced by an act of parliament in 1661 In 1884 Edward fleming, the inventor of oil lamps, made daring offer, which was that for a proper consideration he would engage to place a light before every tenth door on dark nights from 6 p. m. till midnight His proposition was accepted, and he was given the exclusive right to. light the streets as Indicated for a term of years. But the scheme provoked great uproar among the people Some of them enthusias- tically applauded it and hailed Fleming as the greatest benefactor the city ever had Thousands of other furiously de- nounced him and his scheme and de manded that the contract he cancelled. fleming held on, and in time the peO- pie became reconciled to having the streets lighted In 1736 the city gov- ernment assumed the responsibility.

Muir Could Drive a Bargain.

Most people know that the famous naturalist and writer, John Muir, left a substantial fortune behind him wheKI he died. but few perhaps are aware that during the ten years he dedicated altogether to business he was known as the hardest man at a bargain tn the whole of California "As bargainer," writes Arno Dosch, "John Muir was pure Scotch. Muir had the biggest and most dependable supply of Tokay grapes 1n California. The San Fran cisco jobbers bought his yield to meet their regular shipments to the north and east There were at that time four big fruit jobbing houses in San Francisco, and they tell tales yet in Commission row of the bargains John Muir drove with them He was never known to name price first. Whether he was selling grapes or land, he tried first to find out what the other man was willing to pay. But, he always had a price in mind. and he got 1t. It. made no difference what was the mar ket price of grapes. He made the job bers pay what he expected''

A Shabby Royal Palace.

The Persian royal palace is a most unaftracttve place. The courts are fill-' ed with painted figures of cast iron in a kind of oEeratic Romec's costume, and
 with boys of gilt iron offering yermilion cups to gilt eagles. The tanks are stag nant and shabby, the gardens neglect ed The rooms are horrible even for one of those monuments of bad taste called royal palaces; the walls are GOV cred with mirrors, and decoration made of small pieces of mirror set in elaborate patterns. the effect remind ing one of wedding cake. The fur n1ture is without exception European, Of poor quality and worse taste, there Is not a single one of those exquisite works of Persian art which in the col. 1ect1ons of Europe arouse enthusiasm
