Not many years ago the Shah never allowed Bis wives to show even the tips of their fingers to any of the male sex over the age of 12. For- meriy. when the members of the harem (the Princesses and the female attendants of the Shah's household ), enveloped in & biack shee with a veil on their face, and sitting in a covered carriaze, made their passage through the streets of Teheran, the eunuchs and the | feraches who accompanied them used their | Jong sticks to drive people awa The Enro- | peans were allowed to stay where they lap- | pened to be at the time, but were compelled | to turn their faces to the wall.

As far as can be judged from a dis or twelve yards, these ladies ha “ound faces, very large and tine eyes, ani thick and arched eyebrows, which are made to appear still thicker by the application of a certain dye of very dark blue color, called in Persian “rang,” and more archlike by plucking the hair which may stand out of the archy line, and cheeks of ‘vermillion. Their skin, however, as that of all Persians, with few exceptions, lacks the delicacy and whiteness so often commonly met with in English women. Their features, too, are not usually expressive. His Majesty certainly does not share now in the prejudice of his countrymen regarding the treatment of the fair sex, and he has always been far above them &s regards religious toleration. kKhaneh ta! e of ten in general | e+ = Cholera Preventio: The cholera commission, which first met In Berlin ten years ago, has Just completed its work. The result of the ten years’ research of these eminent and learned men Is not altogether satisfactory, inasmuch as they differ, upon some important points relative to the great plague. They all agree. however, that cholera is not con- tagious, In the strict sense of the term, but that it is caused by the operation of some dis- ease germ, or low form of life, which only awaits the right conditions for its fertilization and de- Yelopment. In what the actual poison consists they have been unable to discover, and, failing n ‘this, they do not suggest any particu Jar means by which the scourge may be robbed of Itz terrors. The measures recom- Mended by the commission which may-be ap- plied to the prevention of cholera are exactly such measurses as have been advised to be taken azainst disease in general. The purifying of the soil in inhabited places from organic and easily putrefying refuse; proper drainage; the consignt ff uz of the sewers; the frequent empty of pits; the provision of pure water end good. food, and’ camer and cleanly habits are mentioned in the reports of the commission @5 necessary precautions. Particular emphesis $e laid upon the purification of the soil, since it fs indicated that It isin the soil that cliolera finds its fertilizing prineipte. But a fout soll is also the source of a muititude of other diseases, and if the dread of cholera stimulates the peo. ple to adopt its measures of sanitation the com- Mission will haye done a good work, even thouzh it may not have discovered the quality Of the poison germ.— Philadelphia Record. the | i} | had been opened, not a friendly and welcoming | sneered the sailor man, and away he went, | shoe heels rattl! | Once. while tai Dr, Paxton's Speech at the Princeton Banquet in New York.

I will discount your note for $10, for three years at that race. Will you do it?” “Of course I will,” said the merchant. ‘‘Very well,” sald Mr. Cooper; “Just eign this note for $10,000, payable in three years, and give me your check for 800, and the transaction is complete.” “But where is the money for me?” asked the aston- ished merchant. ‘ou don't get any money,” was the reply. ‘Your interest for 36 months, at 3 per centum per month, amounts to 108 per centum, or #10,800; therefore, your check for just makes us even.” The force of this practical tllustration of the folly of paying such an exhorbitant price for the use of money was such that the merchant determined never to borrow at such ruinous rates, and he frequently used to say that nothing could have so fully convinced him as thisrather humorous proposal by Mr. Cooper Mr. Cooper | A few nights ago the two daughters of Dr. Baird, of Hot Springs, Ark., upon retiring took | the usual look under the bed for a burglar, and to their astonishment found him.

The Kettle sings away bravely; the Owl clears his throat, looking gravely about, especially at the Rabbit—who has such decided inclination to laugh that he must be suppressed—then makes a short addre: “My friends, vou haye conferred upon me the honor of uniting these happy couples.

The gray | Elephant wishes the Rabbit to stand opposite. ; but he will not part with his spangled lady- love, so las to choose a Doll with only one eye, to match himself.
