' Only when the powers take hold of | Persia and run the country will ua\el\ become easy and pleasant for the ord | nary globetrotter. For the present | it {8 open only to the venturesome &nd ‘ leisurely, for there are scarcely any | railroads in the length and breadth of ! the land, and transit over any distance | is both perilous and arduous, though ! tull of jnterest to the stropg and sea | sopned traveler oy ' ] In Persia it is no simpie under taking to prepare for a caravan jour- | ‘ ney of 150 miles or so, as your arange ! ments must allow ior at least eight days on the road—in many places m«rvly a rough, stony track through muumuiu gorges. A string of six or eight mules is required, and you have to be swurt at a bargain when | you haggle with the owuer of the | hearts, though us a matter of fact, the | muleteer generally gets his price, The contract must then be written | out, and the muleteer aflixes his seal { to it, for few of them can either read ior write. But you are not through | with the deal until you have paid over half or even three-quarters of the | stipulated “ticket journey.” The next | business is the engagement of a smart | boy for the road and a cook to prepare the meals, and upon their character the entire comfort of your caravan : journey depends Expert Servants. | Persian servants could give points “ to the most expert swell mobsman go- . ing. They always muke the very best | use of opportunities for plunder when the provisions for the trip are bought. | Gradually, however, the large saddle- i bags begin to swell out with packets ! of tea, loaves of sugar, tins of provi- slons rice, meat, bread, candles, coals and other necessaries. You have also to provide a uew samovar, plates, knives, forks, spoons, together with a teapot and teacups. While the ser- | vants are busy with the dealer the sahib chooses a saddle and some camp ‘furullure oot forgetting a traveling | cagpet, | } Fortunately, for eight months of the year in Persia the sun shiues con- | tinually out of a fine blue sky, so journeys are generally taken under ideal conditions. Rain adds the last | note ot desolation to the mostly barren land, makiug the wmiserable villages I full of bungry, begging people, aud the gloowy, tort-hike gray, nightmare visions of ho, ness. The chief outstanding feature of a long tourin Persia is the massive cara- less- | vansaries, the poorest apologies tor hotels the world coutains. They are built by charitable peuple who desire to do a good iuru to the travelers ou the lonely roads and mule tracks, whick are intested by marauding bands of highwaymen, As a rule they arc built square, with | rooms around the sides, opening on to the interior courtyard. In bad weather the mules are put into roomy stables behind, | animals are tethered iu the ‘courl)ud with their loads around them and the bells ]harueas tinkling continually. ' On first alighting at one of these | rest-houses for the night, when the i servant indicates your apartment you ,lre apt to be badly jarred by its ap- | pearance. The opening into the black, | | smoke-begrinied roow is doorless. The spacious disposed | mud floor is dirty and uneven, the | { corners filled with all kinds of rubbish, | such as egg-shells, fruit ekins and the | like. But if the boy is a good one | he soon makes his master comfort- able. A fire is lighted, the room | swept and the meager equipment set iout. A curtain nailed over the en- { rance baffles the gaze of inquisitive onlookers, and wheu in the flickering S THREDHING CORN 1 kajavahs, ' for travel to be seen anywnere.

Big Caravans. Often during the long hours of thu daily march are heard the Jow-sound | ing bells, telling of an approaching caravan. Surrounded by huge bllez; of cotton, cases of opium and bundles | | of carpets come a troop of Persians| on pilgrimage to Mecca or Kubella, | who for safety's sake generally travel with & large, well-guarded caravan Their well-filled saddle-bags contain everything necessary for their six tc eight-months journey. So accustomed do the Persians become to the pace of their mules, they can doze comfort. | ably on their backs through the hot| bours of the afternoon without run ning the slightest risk of misadventure, | but the westerner has to keep wide | awake to preserve his equilibrium. The most useful vehicles for long journeys in Persia are the palakis and | the quaintest contrivances, “Persian cabs’ are fixed upon mules. Sowe skill, too, is required in load- ! ing up the mule with its human| freight, care being taken that the tv\o; people who travel side by side are | about the same weight. 1f a tiny hus- band and a fat wife have to go togeth- er, his box must be filled up with bal- last s0 as to equalize the weight. Similar care has to be exercised in dismounting, for if one passenger jumps out without giving warning of his intention, his neighbor is shot to| the ground with unseemly haste. The only difference between the kajavah| and the palaki is that the latter is open, while the former is covered with a light ,water-proof roof and is cur- tained against bad weather. The wmost comfortable means of travel, sacred to the use of the wealthiest class, is the takhtiravan, congisting of a box about seven feet long and five feet high, fitted with doors and win- dows and furnished inside with a soft mattress and luxurious cushions, The vehicle is built on the Sedan-chair principle, the poles resting on a sort ! of saddle on the backs of the mules, which are haruessed tandem. By the Mile. A young married woman athletically inclined was very anxious to learn to | % swim. So she bought a bathing suit, joined the swimming class at a near by Turkish bath, and plunged in. Ev- ery Monday, \Wednesday and Friday for an hour in the afternoon she toiled laboriously from one end to the other of the ninety-foct pool. On returning | home aftcr each lesson she carefully | computed the distance she traveled and jotted it down in her housekeep- | er's memorandum book. One night, with the help of her husband, she started in to balance her housekeep- | ing accounts | “Shall 1 put swimming under pleas- ! ure= or necessitie she asked, unde | The husband glanced at the figures indicating the number of nautical | miles his wife had covered “Why not x\u' it down under trav-| aling expenses?”’ he suggested. Successive Generations. i Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of the great financier, gives most of her time | to social work John D. Rockefeller, Jr., 18 one of the leaders in the move- ment against “white slavery.” The | daughter of Senator Mark Hanna, Mrs. Medill McCormick, is an active | advocate of working women's organi- zation. Such interests of many of “the second generation of wealth” are | a better dependence for the future than the earlier hope that the second | and succeeding generations would squander what the fathers and grand- \Yathors accumulated Spendthrifts do not materially affect the general | welfare. Persons with social instincts and a sense of responsibility do.
