The Shah of Persia,
REASONS FOR TUE HONORS PAID LUM IN
EUROPE.
It is understood, says Murrny, that
the Slmb of Poreia is merely n curios
ity which is being exhibited by liaron
Router to onuble that shrewd person
to float certain railway and other
schemed, lor the realization oi which
the Karon has received tho most ex
traordinary concession ever crantod
to A financial speculator. It does not
really mattor much, for the concession
can be and certainly will be cancollod
as easily as it was given, and tho sillr
businesa baa boon ao muoh talked ul
that it is noedless to insist upon it
again. ,It will probably suit tho turn
of Baron Routor nd his friends; thon
by and by wo shall bear that thore ero
endless wranglos about it, till in due
time the British shareholders and
workmen will bo bundled nock and
crop out of tho country togothor.
However, the sunn is a promising sub
joct at prosont. JIo is iinouostionobly
the absolute rulor and master of his
country, and ho has a legal right to
plodgo and alienate its rcsnrccs, at
least during his lifetime. After that
Baron Routor's concession will bo so
much wasto paper. Tho Sbah, how
ovor, has ceitninly got hold of tho
right end of the slick, lie Is a Tory
parsimonious prince, and took excel
lent care to have bis traveling expenses
paid by his showman before he sot out
on his travels. Jlo got, it is said, two
hundred thousand pounds for bis trip,
and it is not likoly that Baron Router
will lose by his bargain. I'ersia has
no national debt. Tho Shah is about
to create one.
Plooly of groody people liko to fan
cy they will got ten or twelve percent
for their money, and will lond it as
eagerly on those tornis to the Persians
as they have dono to tho Spaniards
and Turks. Many person, will make
considerable fortunes out of the first
introduction of l'orsia to the Stock
Exchango, and then all at once thore
will be a talk of dividonds in arrear
and repudiation. It might be also as
woll, too, if widows, half-pay ofllcers
and trustocs, who are goooially vio
limixod in those cases, would rofloct,
boforo it ii too late, that Persia is a
very poor country. Tho little monoy
that thore is in it is buriod away for
fear ol the government, and certainly
no Porsians will place the smallest
confidence in any security guaranteed
by thoirown government. The great
est part of Persia is a parchod and
uncultivated doscrt. It lias no com
merce worth mention, and tho popu
lation is scarcely numorous onouirji to
luuder a railway remunerative The
cost of making iron rails over almost
impassable mountainsand stony plains
will bo immonso, and everything re
quired to niako thorn, from the labor
ers to the steam engines, must do
brought by laud carriage, on the backs
of mules and pack horses from abroad.
Nor will managing men of tho right
stamp bo very anxious to take places
in Persia. The climate Is abominable
and so unfavorable to the boulth and
vigor of the European and American
raco that after a short rosidonco thoro
thoy are invariably attacked with
dyscntory, which commonly provos
fatal, and their hair falls off, thoir
tcolh drop out or uocay, and they aro
rackod by fever and ague.
It Is all vory well lo say that busi
ness men will .do anything for monoy.
So thoy will : but it sensible man will
want a good (loal oi it to uo jsitron
Router's work fur him, and bis share
holders can only ox poet the riffraff and
sweepings of the labor markot upon
anything liko the usual terms. It is
quito truo that living waa formerly

Baron Routor's friends will be a rare
priise for tho Keords, some of whom,
by tho way, aro worshippers of the

tors are evor allowed to got to thoir
journey's end thoir comfort will be

be obligod to keep a docen servants
and half a dozen horses, neithor of
whioh articles aro cheap or good, and
upon the whole salaries must be cal
culated much higher in Porsia than
even in India. Nothing undor a thou
sand pounds storling yearly will keep
a family docontly ; and to go to Persia
for more victuals and drink, without
boiug able to save a dollar, would bo
a poor business indeed. There is no
mistake about the actual cost of living
and moving about in Porsia, and tents,
cooks, guards, tent pitchers, interpre
ters, food and wine are not to be had
and carried about for nothing. There
is, indeed, a certain queer sort of re-
spoct paid to the Frank in Persia.
For instance, the soldiers present arms
to every man who wears a chimney-pot
undor tho belief that he is a foreign
ambassador or one of his suite; but the
fanatical Bhiitcs, or horotical Moham
medans, will not allow a Chrislrian to
enter public baths lest bo should defile

cup or glass which he has usod or sit
upon a carpet alter bim.
Tho Oinnahar Mines.
The oinnabar, aulphnrot or mercu
ry, mine at New Almadcn, in Califor
nia, has had, In somo respects, a curi
ous history. Long before the Span
iards possessed tho lands, tho Indians
enmo, ovon irom as lar north as Ure
gon, to obtain tho red ore, which they
used for war paint, tho eubslanco be
ing a natural or native Vermillion.
Ihe earliest settlers dug in tho moun
tain for gold and silver, but found
nono. At Inst an ecclesiastio from
tho neighboring mission and a Span
ish captain dotcolcd the presence of
cinnabar, and obtuincd the first sum
pie by a rude process of smoltiog, or
rather of sublimation. Tho apparatus
was original ana unique it consist
ed, so the records tell, of only an old
gun barrol and a tub of water. But
it is easy to imagine how, by placing
the pulvcricod oro in the tnotal tube,
beating tho main longlb, closing one
ond and placing tho other in the wa
ter, the mercurial vapors could bo
driven on, condensed and collected in
motalio form. Tbo great mine at
Idria, in Austria, owed its discovery
to tho prosonco of globulos of quick
silver in tho sand ofa small mountain
stroam. A poor cooper having placed
some pails in the rivulet to swell thoir
Boams closo- boforo taking them to
market, filled them with handfuls of
sand to keep them from floating away,
but when ho tried to empty the pails
next morning, he could not lift thorn,
Ito attributed this to withcraft, but
the parish priost was wisor, and from
bis counsels the search, successful af
ter much tribulation, was instituted.
Tbo third groat source of quicksilver
is the ronowned Almadon mine in
Spain, after which that in California
was namod. This was worked 2,000
years ago, and is still oxtromcly prof
itable. Its workings have reached a
depth ol 1,300 feot. &m lancitco
Jlerald.
To Develop Talent. Plaoo a man
in a position that will foanully tax
him and try him a t "'M
often bring the blush to his cheek and
the swoat to his brow, a position that
ill ovormastor him at times, and
cause bim to rack bis brain lor re
sources. Place him in a position like
this. But every time he trips go to
bisroscuo; go not with wordsof blame
r censure, cut go with manful words
of encouragomeut; look him boldly
in tho eyo, and spoak thorn with soul
and emphasis. This is the way to
make a man ot a boy, and a giant ot
a man. it a man has piuolc and a lal
ont, no matter whether ho evor filled
a givon position or not, put him in it,
it worthy, and he will soon not only
fill it, but outgrow it. But put one
in a position with a faint heart. This
is tlib way to kill him. Put him in
grandly with most unmistakable con
fidence. Jrop no caveats, but boldly
start the way, and thon stand by with
a will and countunancoof a truo friend.
Thus try twenty men, such as have
boon muiod, and ujnoloeo will succood.

Glass Bonnets.
TUE LATEST NOVELTY FOB LADIES.
Whatever may bo said of the aim
or result of the Vioiina Exposition, It
has certainly boon tho moans of bring
ing together tbo choicost products of
tbe world, and ot giving tbe people ot
various nations new idoas concerning
matter of which thoy bad never be
fore thought. In no direction has a
wider range been givon than in the
manufacture of glass, and now forms,
designs and use of this material are
now prosontod to the world for the
brat time. Conspiouous among those
is a iady'a bonnot or head dress, which
for elegance and boauty cannot be ex
celled. . The idea of glass hat isoer
tainly novel, and many objections
might bo mado to it on account of the
fragile material, but in reality tho
glass is much strongor and more dura
bio than the delicate material now in
use for tbe same purpose.
These nrtioles, as may be imagined,
como from Bohemia, and thoy havo
ulroady gained a fair share of popu
larity. Specimens have been tont to
Paris and London, and that we should
not be behind hand in so important a
matter, an enterprising firm in West
ern Pennsylvania have imported quite
a number, and will immediately begin
their manufacture, to be ready for tbe
full soason.
These bats are of tbe most dolicato
and beautiful dosign,and such is their
adaptability to all costumes and occa
sions that tbey will probably soon
como into universal use. Tho body of
tho bat is made of looto piocos of fine
glass, fastened closely togother by a
gntta percha band, which allow it to
conform to the head. Insido there is
a lining of silk, wbicb is tbo only
piece of fabrio used in the manufac
ture. Tho trimmings on tho outside
are aftor tbe prevailing mode, consist
ing of wroath flowers, feathers and
ribbons, all made of delicately spun
glass of wonderful boauty. Of course
all the trimmings have their natural
colors, and by a patont process tbo
glassy appearunce is so woll subdued
that tbo material is not auspocted.
The most boauliful bumming birds
ana nowers are nsoa for ornamenta
tion, and colored so naturally that in
appoaranco tbey are fur superior to
the usual artificial good.
It is almost incrediblo tho small
amount of glass that enters Into the
construction of ono of these bats, for
tho thread is so hue that a groat space
is covorod without any perccptihlo in
crease in tho weight. They woigh but

With the care that is usually given by
a lady to a now hat, these articlos
will outlast twenty of thorn, for there
is no wear to them ; moisture will not
stain thorn, and it dust alaeuld settle
to dim their boauty, it is readily re
moved by a gentle spray of water.
Tho colors aro so blended that for or
dinary occasion they presont a gen
oral noutral tint, but at a small addi
tional exponso thoy can be made to
flash and spnrkle like diamonds, cith
er in the sunlight for a carriago cos
titmo or In the blase of a bull room,
or at tho opera. Their cost is insig
nificant, and as it is understood sev
eral woil known firms are going into
the business extensively, tbey may
soon be expected upon our streets.
It is probable, however, they will not
be readily known, as the resemblance
to the genuine material is so great.
Japanese Dentistry.
An Amorican Dontist living in Yo
kabama, sends to the Dental Cosmos
an account of tbo Japaneso habits in
regard to tboir teeth, lie says that
as tho young women have vory fine
toetb, il is romarkublo that they should
koop np the practice of blacking them
after marriage. Tho Japaneso, as a
raco, possess good teeth, but thoy lose
them very oarly in llfo.
"Thoir tooth-brusbes consist of
tough wood, poundod at ono end to

whioh water may be made the vehicle
for distributing tbo fever, tho report
gives the following as illustrations

successive pollution of different wells

Filters and Cool Water.
In view of the fact that tho wator
we drink is not unlikely to be crowd
ed with dangerous germs, it seems tho
part ot wisdom to adopt the simplo
precaution suggostea in our beading,
A portablo filter may bo made of com
mon stone-ware or an earthen jar.
Tbo bottom is filled with stones as
lorge as gooso egg, or is covered
with a perforated slalo slab, leaving a
spaoe to hold a supply of filtered wa
ter. A faucet is fitted into hole,
bored through the side of tbe jar, as
near tho bottom as may bo. Un tho
slab or stone is placed a layer of coarso
gravel, cleanly washed ; over that a
layer of clean washed sand; thon a
luyer of powdered charooal, also woll
washed, still another layer of sand,
una tuen one ui coarse gravel, coin
washed perieclly cloan.' Tho romain
der of tbo spaoe is for wator. A cov
er or a wot cloth plucod over tho top
exctudos dust. If a porous jar is usod,
the evaporation trom tho outsido dur
ing hot weather will keep tho contents
almost ice cold, particularly if it is
kept in a current of air. Tho same
filtering arrungemont may bo nnnlled
to a cistern. At tho upper cornor is
mo chamber into which tho pipo dis
charges. The layers of material aro
gravel, sand and charcoal. As tbo
filter will nocd to bo Uikon outocca
eionally, to wash t,he conlonls, il is
well to make tbo chamber quite dis

at any time without disturbing tho
cistern or tisconionts.

cooking and quality of the food aro
also superior to any that can be found
in Paris, except in the fashionable and
high priced restaurants. Everything
is cooked to order, and served up hot
and fresh from the kitchen. In thq
cufos, where coffee, bread and egg
are served, the coffee is mado fresh
every ball hour, and its quality is
equal to the best that can bo fount
at some of our old Maryland family 1
tables. If all visitors to Vienna would '
