Tho Mort Vou Cnn To Is to A Mi About t!i "Mother of IH Son" ,If Ho Hiw Only DuughU-m Ho Will Kot Mention Tlm. With the Persian one cannot dis cuss hla womenfolk. To ask a Pcr t'.na about his wife Is a grave bresich o2 etiquette. The moBt you cnn do Is to ask about the "mother of his on." H he has only daughters ho dope not mention them; they aiv n misfortune to be Buffered in silence. While the sexes remain sepnratcd as at present there can be but little real advance. The man does not see ht wife after the marriage ceremony j the woman still lives the secluded stupefying life of the harem. "She prows up like a wild flower; nothl:n union Europeans generally keep out of their children's sight Is conrealnd from her; she Is left to the dictates of her Instincts, which ta she sees very little society but that of fwrvarita r.nd laves, are not very elevating. liar religion la drowned In the lowoxt su perstitions, and as she Is apMom taught to rend anj write, the only means she has of learning la from talon which would hardly have any meaning for us because they arc bo Etupld. She Is kept secluded that she may remain faithful, and the Inevitable result Is that Intrigue forias lml.' the lite of Persia.. M. tie Loroy rotates an adventure, he had with a vell gncrdeft lady of high rank In a jo-rol-r8 shop. He attracted her atten tion, she lowered her veil, ho gay.o.i one hazards the guess adoringly, eho dropped her Jusmtno, he p'.chod It up. The next day they met ui;aln la the same shop. We could have wished for tho conclusion of tat story, but th author tantallzos us by breaking off In the middle. If It had no conclusion the Had siato of too many love affairs wo would nl moBt have forgiven him, saya the London Globe, hal he done what a Persian surely would have dono and Invented the rest. It will come' aa a surprise to many that divorce Is aa easy In the un changing East as It Is In the strenu ous West. It depends entirely on the will of the husband, who, under the pretext that his wife 1 bad tem pered, barren, extravagant, excessive ly lean, Invalid or blind, can repud iate her. The only drawback for the husband la that he must pay the dow r If the action Is his. For this rea son husbands are found who in or der to avoid this nuisance Ill-treat and beat their wives till they them selves move for divorce since In that case there Is no necessity to pay anything. In another way Persia reminds one dimly of the West, for there are such things as difficulties with servants, even In Teheran. The author dis missed one of hla servants who, as he hs.d been a tailor, was lmcompctent to do anything but sew on buttons. The man protested: "What will be come of me now that I have been eating your salt for such a long time and am driven out Into the streets?" Ho was reminded that ho had only b'en employed for a fortnight; he answered that he felt It had boon for years. He was told that he was no EOtul; but hla volubility only ln trensctl. "How can I be no good af-.-;! having Ktayed with you?

It is a pretty story which sur rounds the betrothal of the present Czar Nicholas aud the Caxrina, tor, although the great question had been planned and thought out for them y their respective parents, they both were determined to have a say in the matter. That they were in love with each other every one knew, and between themselves a mutual understanding had been arrived at In the summer house of York cottage; bu,t aa Czare wltch the future Czar had to make the formal and old fashioned offet of hla hand."

Tit-Bits. Traveling Telephones. The Civil and Military Gazette re ports that Lord Kitchener has ac cepted for use In India a form of movable telephone, which can be employed with great facility In the field. The cable weighs only seven pounds per mile, but Is so well insu lated that It can be stretched across a str:tm of water without loss of current. It withstands a strain of 120 pounds. An apparatus , for placing and removing the cable, working automatically, and capable of being attached to a saddle, is em ployed. Recently in the Punjab a horseman, proceeding at a gallop, placed the cable over a distance of two miles in seven minutes. To re move It 18 minutes were required. Niagara and the Falls of Lodore.
