LOVELY WOMAN IN PERSIA. She Must be Neither Fat Like the Ele phant nor Lean Like the Camel. From the St. James' Gazette. F.'intern women are pitied as unhappy bei rigs on the theory that they are impris oned in a gilded rage closely guarded by very ugly eunuchs, and reduced to spend their time in attempting to catch the smiles of a jealous lord, as they sprawl in graceful attitudes on silken cushions. Their only ot her occupation is understood to be devour ing immense quantities of sweetmeats in order to become corpulent; their only amusement the pleasure of poisoning rival wives and hearing interminable stories of the Arabian Nights pattern. It is true that witli the Turk beauty must be fat. It is not so, however, witli the Per si an; he has the appreciation of a eonnois seur for juste milheu. A stout womnn in Persia is spoken of as an elephant, while the leaner ones are generally called camels. Though they deal largely in hyperbole, the Persians do not mince mutters in speaking of the fair sex. The veil, which is habitually worn out of doors even by the very poor in all great towns in Persia, though its use is unknown among the tribes wdio form at least a third of the whole population, is clung to by the women as a privilege. It is, in fact, a domino. The Persian woman out of doors is unrecognizable even by her husband. She sees without being seen, and in the veil it is impossible to detect the age of the woarer. As the Persian lady is nearly always mar ried at 14, she begins to fade at 37 at latest, at 30 she appears 50, and there are only two dentists in the wdioie of Persia. Polygamy is the luxury of the rich; with the upper aud middle classes bigamy is the rule. A mau’s tirst alliance is a marriage lie convenauce, the second either a mar riage for love or for the gratification of vanity. When your Persian brings home a second wife there is usually a scene which lasts for a week or two; there is a struggle for supremacy, but it is soon over. Both wives do their best to please the master of the house, but they do not attempt to poi son each other unless in very exceptional circumstances. But Persian ladies still be lieve in the efficacy of love philters, and many an abomination is secretly adminis tered to unfortunate husbands. Happily, the love philter, though usually composed of horrible ingredients, is unite harmless. The bath takes up a good deal of the time of all Persian women. Even the poorest will attend the Hnmman at least once a week. For the lady, the bath is one of the serious affairs of life, and takes up daily from two to four hours of her time. It is something more than our idea of a bath. The victim is scraped and rublied and par boiled. The soles of the feet are pumiced until they are as soft and tender as those of a little child. The hair is thoroughly washed by means of hot water and the saponaceous clay for which Shiraz is cele brated. Then the attendants mix in a brazen bowl the aromatic henna, with the requisite amount of lemon juice, till a brown paste of the consistency of gruel is produced, and several handfuls of the re pulsive-looking compound are smeared over the lady’s head. Then the hair, collected into a mass, is hound up in cabbage leaves. Small quantities of the dye are smeared over the eyebrows; the soles of the feet, the toes, the palms of the hands and the finger tips are also covered with it. And now the lady has to sit. still for from one to three hours, till, like a meerschaum pipe, she colors; and it is exactly the color obtained on the best specimens of pipes that is most fashionable among Persian ladies. Day after day the bath is thronged with women, each sitting perfectly still for the color to “take.” But they have their reward, for the Henna dyes the hair a beautiful deep, warm chestnut; hence gray hair is unknown among Persian ladies. While the coloring process has been going on tonguas have been running, and a good deal of scandal has been exchanged. The female barber with a pair of tweezers has removed every outlying hair from the re gion of the lady’s eyebrows. It is the am bition of every Persian woman that her eyebrows shall meet, or at feast appear to do so. So attractive are eyebrows that meet that they are called the “bridge of love.” The first care, then, of the Persian beauty is with a little pencil of antimony to unite her eyebrows, and then she pro ceeds to make them appear of unnatural thickness. Her eyelashes are penciled, too, in a manner not unknown to our own countrywomen. By this‘time the lady will have smoked many kalians or water pipes, she will have partaken of tea and re galed herself with coffee. Iced sherbets, too, will not have been wanting. Her finger tips, nails and palms, as well as the soles of her feet and toes have attained a bright chestnut hue, which will last a week. The hair is carefully washed once more. It is seldom under a yard long, often much more, for the Persian woman never cuts her hair, except in front, perhaps, when two heavy love looks are left on either side of the face. The ladies now return home to their noonday breakfasts. After breakfast there is generally a siesta, and this in a hot country is almost a necessity. About 4 o’clock tea and pipes appear, "and then the lady receives callers or [jays visits, or per haps does a little shopping or takes the air mounted on her ambling mule or a donkey of snowy whiteness. The Persian lady is a good house wise. She ris*>s with the dawn, she is liberal in her housekeeping, kind to her servants—a little profuse, per! laps, but then living is cheap in the East. The keys of everything are in the keeping of the mistress of the house, and she is usually exact in her account. All the vast stock or the conserves and sweet meats, syrups for the preparation of sher iffs, and pickles in endless varirty are either prepared by her own fingers or under her eyes. Nor does she disdain to be con fectioner and maker of pastry. As evening approaches—the long and elaborate Persian dinner lioing partaken of among the upper classes by the sexes apart —she prepares to entertain her husband; she will play to him upon the lute or har monica; she will sing to him or read him to sleep with poetry, or she will play with him at backgammon or chess, or recite to him long stories in the style of the “Arabian Nights.” VS T hen he is sick she nurses him, nnd it is her pride to see that his wardrobe is well supplied and his servants well clad. She will intrigue for him, plead for him, lie for him, and has been known to die for him. She will even carry her complaisance so far as to find another wife for him. THE WILICZA SALT MINEi An Interesting Description of a Won derful Place Near Cracow. fVom the Washington Star. A Washington lady has receivtil from her sister, now traveling in Europe, tbo follow ing graphic account of a visit to the noted salt, mines at Wilicza, near Cracow: “After a comfortable day’s journey from Moscow we arrived in this old Polish city ol C’racow, situated on the Vistula. There are many places of interest, here to the vis itor, one of which is the old cathedral, foundisl by King Cassimir. It contains the graves of John iSobieaki, Poniatowski, Kos ciusko, etc., also ThorwaUlson’s stutuo of Christ. The Wilicza salt mines, which have rieen worked for 000 years, and are wonder fully grand in appearance, arc seven miles distant from tho city. We drove to them through a most beautiful country, getting a glimpse of the iieusantry and muny queer and interesting sights. Arriying at the mines, we put on long wraps and caps ready to bo lowered in an iron oage-liko elevator 800 feet below. There we were met and escorted by guides liearing lights to what seemed to be a sanc tuary, the roof of which was supported by huge pillars and arches. At one end was an altar, brilliantly lighted. with candles and surrounded with statuary, life size, carved entirely out of salt. No earth was to be seen anywhere, only this salt rock—a gray-looking, granite-like substance, and somevyhat moist. After a walk of perhaps ten minutes we came to a sudden stop be fore a large door, which, at a signal, was thrown open, disclosing to our viow an ira mense ball room, with a beautifully smooth floor of wood. At the same moment a brass band began to play the most delightful and enlivening mus e. We were all liewildercxi with this scene, so far underground. Hish above our heads the salt roof sparkled and was barely visible. From the roof hung about twenty immense chandeliers contain ing thousands of bright, lights. At one end of this hall was an illuminated picture imitat ing stained glass in a most perfect way. The music was so enlivening that one after another of our party found themselves upon the floor dancing. The band stopped play ing and disappeared. We were then con ducted to a number of large rooms or halls, the liand always preceding us, playing as we entered, but being never again visible to us. Words can give no correct idea of the grandeur of this place, and the peculiar sen sations it awakened. We were next led through a long, dark passage-way, which brought us to the lake, where wo stood spell bound, gazing in wonder upon the beautiful water. Colored lights were reflected flashing in the water from side to side, the band, hidden from view, playing some very sad, plaintive melody iu slow and mournful strains, to the rhythm of which wo found ourselves moving bodily' and suitably “over to the other shore.” Without noticing it the platform upon which we were standing was being drawn by some in visible means through this beautiful lake to the opposite side. Such a scene and sur roundings, creating such impressions, can come to us but once in a lifetime, and many were deeply affected by it, so that unbidden tears filled our eyes. Words are inadequate to express in any satisfactory way what we saw and experienced in this trip. Not a word was spoken while the plaintive music echoed again and again through these long halls and passage ways, until we had reached the steps of the upper landing,'when we could hear it no more. We re-entered the elevator, to rise to the upper realms again, feeling we had the full value of what at first seemed a very high charge for the trip. We then returned to Cracow. From the window of our room we look down on the ’beautiful blue Dan ube,’ which is worthy of all that is said and written about it. Opposite the hotel stands the old cathedral, in the tower of which lives a man who, every hour,day and night, tells the hours with a bugle call. It is a quaint and beautiful old custom, continued in some parts of Russia.” RAILROAD RESPONSIBILITY. A Curious Holding of the Court in the Case of a Broken Axle. Selden R. Hopkins in Wide A wake. A common carrier of passengers, with their baggage, assumes as to the passengers two distinct species of responsibility'; one as to their persons and another as to their baggage. Before the introduction of rail roads, when passengers by land travelled almost exclusively by stage-coach, the Sup reme Court of Massachusetts laid down a generally accepted rule: “That carriers of passengers for hire are bound to use the ut most care and diligence in the providing of safe, sufficient and suitable coaches, har nesses, horses and coachmen, in order to pre vent those injuries which human care and foresight can guard against.” Since rail roads nave come to be the principal means of land travel in Europe and America, and at a rate of speed never dreamed of when stage-coaches were so universally in voguo the courts both in England and the United States have given the general rule a broader and more stringent application. Some years ago an accident happened to a train through the breaking of an axle, and a number of passengers were injured. Suit was brought against the railroad company for damages. The company showed that the ear had been built for them by skillful car-builders, and while in the process of building it was care fully examined by an agent of the company, both with respect to materials and work manship, and again when it was completed was carefully inspected in every particular. It had been in use with safety Hi months he fore the accident. The car-builder had ob tained the axlo from an approved and skill ful manufacturer and that the defect in it as was shown could not have been detected by the most careful examination nor by striking it witli a hammer. The plaintiff showed that the fault in the axle could have been detected while it was being made by a proecss of bend ing, and that the company did not so test it. The opinion of tiie court was that the railroad company was responsible for all defects which might at any time during the process of manufacture have been discovered in any manner, and then remedied and to the same extent as if the company' had manufactured the axle in its own shop and by its own workmen, and if there was any test known which at any time might have been employed to discover concealed defects in the axle the company was guilty of negligence for not making such test. Extinction of the Hawaiians. G. H. Fitch in the October Cosmopolitan. The rapid extinction of the native popu lation of the islands is one of the marvels of history. When Capt. Cook explored the islands he made a careful estimate of the people and fixed the number at 400,000. A half century saw them cut down one-half, while thirty-seven years ago, when the first accurate census was taken, the number was found reduced to 81,453. The reduction has been steady nnd rapid ever since, the census of 1878 showing 44,088 native Hawaiians, and that of 1884 only 44,014 natives, while the present estimate is 80,000. The half castes, who numbered only 750 in 1850, have increased to 4,318. The Chinese, who were represented by only 300 coolies thirty-seven years ago, now have 19,000, of whom 950 are women. The last census gave 9,337 Portuguese, 2,000 Americans, 1,383 British, 1,000 Germans, 103 French, and 1,850 other foreigners. The diseases of civilization have swept clean of native Hawaiians whole districts that once boasted a dense population, while drunkenness and other vices have slain their tens of thousands. No systematic effort has been made by the government to check the ravages of disease or to stay the introduc tion of deadly vices. Leprosy has become more prevalent of late years and, although there is a hospital at Honolulu and a laza retto on the lonely island of Molokai, the disease increases rapidly. This is owing to the carelessness of the authorities, who do not insist upon the trausfer of lepers to Mo lokai. A rich man, stricken with thisawfu! malady, is allowed to live at home and carry on his business, while the poor are con signed to tne living death in the leper set tlement. The missionaries did good work in retarding the extinction of the natives, but of late both drunkenness and the opium vice have spread alarmingly, and the best observers declare that the close of this cen tury will see the end of the once powerful Hawaiian race. The natives have the virtue of hospitality, good nature aud honesty; but they are in corrigibly indolent and have no more care for the morrow than the American Indian. Like the Indian, they are fond of games and of all out-door sports. Given anahun dant supply of poi, a species of flour made from the root of the taro plant, and the Hawaiian is content. He has a good voice and is passionately fond of singing, and shows no small skill in plnying on musical instruments. One of the sights that, most impresses the visitor to the islands is the spectacle of the wretched lepers at, Molokai, sitting tinder the banana trees in the bril liant moonlight and singing thenativesongs with their mournful refrain, while earth and sea and sky seem to unite in proclaim ing that here is the earthly paradise that the poets have vainly sought; here on rock bound Molokai, where tneshadow of a more awful death than Dante ever droanied of lies on the heads of the doomed minstrels and makes a mockery of this surpassingly beautiful tropical scene. “My love, what magic spell is thrown Upon your face? It* charm I own. Whence came thy pure and pearly teeth? Thy rosy Ups 1 Thy perfumed breath?" She said, in accents sweet and clear, “’Tis only SOZODONT, my dear."

Ingenious Philadelphia Devices to Beat the Sunday Liquor Law. from the. Philadelphia News. The Sunday private key has departed, and the private tip how to open the l>aek gate has taken its place. Some of the devices are really ingenious. “Don’t know how to get in there?” asked a young man who stood near a saloon in Kensington. “Well if you'll set’em up, I’ll show you. I’ll take you to the gate, and, if you can open it, I’ll treat.” The offer was readily accepted. The way to the back gate was a roundabout one, but it was reached. A rope with a handle on the end invited a pull, and the stranger pulled. The gate didn’t open. The man pushed inward nnd pulled outward, and even tried to raise tho gate, but it remained firm. “Ob, it’s locked and woYe fooled,” be ex claimed in disgust. “D’ye give ft up? Well, I’ll try it.” The young man took hold of a board which ap peared to have been nailed over a hole in the gate and gavo it a quick pull outward. At the same time he pushed upon the gate, and it gently swung inward. Once inside, the stranger saw how it worked. A hole had been bored through the gate opposite the board which the young man had pulled. A rope ran through tho hole, one end of which was attached to the board and the other to a spring lock. The pull had drawn the bolt. That was all. Tho stranger sim ply said: “ Well! That knocks me out I” There are other ingeniously fastened back gates in Philadelphia. Them isono in the southern section of the city which would puzzle a first-class safe burglar. The gate is located on a side alley forty feet from the saloon. At the corner of the alley on the fence is a small ring. A pull upon that ring unfastens the gate twenty feet below’. It is so arranged that when the spring bolt is withdrawn by the pull a piece of wood drops in front of it and holds it there until it is removed. Anotherman has arranged so as to open his side gate by pulling out ward the top of the sixth board from the gate. It is arranged similar to the first one described. One man lias gone even further. He has an electrical attachment by w hich he know r s when his 1 riends are at the gate. By pressing upon a knot in the gate post a bell behind the bar rings. Then he pulls a string and unbolts the gate without leaving his place behind the bar, “I am about fixing a set of mirrors which will reveal to me the faces of the men who seek to enter,” said a saloon keeper, speak ing of the movement to baffle the police. “The would-be customer presses upon a nail head, which rings an electrical bell at the bar. By turning one,mirror I can see who is waiting. If lie is a man whom I know, or who is accompanied by a person whom I know is straight, I simply pull a rope and unlock the gate.” CITTICURA REMEDIES.
