A Persian Romance.
A Persian plaque in the South Ken
sington museum, Ixindon, bears by
means of clever relief and brilliant
color a romantic tale, part legend and
part history. Nobody knows the pro
portion of each.
At all events it is declared to be an
incident in the life of Baharam V. of
the Sassauian dynasty. Baharam. ac
cording to legend and plaque, was a
wonderful archer. During one of his
hunting expeditions, on which his fa
vorite wife had accompanied him, he
shot a sleeping antelope with such pre
cision as to graze the animal’s ear.
The antelope awoke and. believing him
self annoyed by a fly. put his hind
hoof to his ear to strike off the fly. A
second arrow sent by the royal hand
fixed the antelope’s hoof to his horn.
The king’s wife merely said,_J"prac
tice makes perfect/' which touched
the pride of her royal si>ouse.
Indeed, as the penalty for her plain
speaking she was sent out into the
mountains to perish, but instead found
shelter in a village. Here she lodged
in an upper room ascended by twenty
steps and, having bought a calf, car
ried it up and down every day. The
king, passing by four years later, was
amazed at seeing a young woman car
rying a cow up a flight of twenty
steps. The lady again took occasion to
remark, “Practice makes perfect”
whereupon she unveiled, was recogniz
ed and restored to favor.
Glories and Glooms.
The students of Yale university hare
Invented some new slang descriptive
of Important conditions which affect
the lives of young men. Here are
some additions to the Yale vernacular:
“A glory"—A young woman of un
usual attractiveness.
“A gloom"—A young woman of far
less than average attractiveness; vide
"lemon."
“A ball of fire”—A young woman
whose beauty and charm are irresisti
ble. An ideal guest for college par
ties; vide "peach.” "pippin,” “corker,”
etc.—New York Times.

Fever and Wet Clothes.
General P.aden-Poweli in his book,
“Scouting For Boys,” writes of the
dangers that come from wet garments
and of the best way to dry one’s
clothes: %Y ou will often get wet
through on service, and you will see
recruits remaining in their wet clothes
until they get dry again. No old
scout would do so, as that is the way
to catch fever and get ill. When you
are wet take the first opportunity of
getting your wet clothes off aud dry
ing them, even though you may not
have other clothes to put on, as hap
pened to me many a time.
“I have sat naked under a wagon
while ray one suit of clothes was dry
ing over a fire. The way to dry clothes
over a fire is to make one of hot ashes
and then build a small beehive shaped
cage of sticks over the fire and hang
your clothes over the cage, and they
will very quickly dry; also lu hot
weather it is dangerous to sit in your
clothes when they have got wet from
perspiration.
“On the west coast of Africa I al
ways carried a spare shirt hanging
down my back, with the sleeves tied
around my neck. So soou us 1 halted
I would take off the wet shirt 1 was
wearing and put on the dry, which
had been hanging out iu the sun ou rny
back. By this means 1 never got fever
when almost every one else went down
with it.”
Sacred Birds of the Aztecs.
Imagine a bird the size of a pigeon,
its buck, head, wings aud breast
dazzling metallic green with golden
sheen, its entire lower parts vivid
scarlet, a soft, recurved crest curling
over the bill and ferny, curved plumes,
lapping over the wings, while two or
three slender green feathers a yard or
more in length extend over and be
yond the glossy 7 black and white tail.
Such is the Quetzal, or resplendent
Trogon, sacred bird of the Montezu
ma?, national emblem of Guatemala
and the handsomest and most striking
of all the gorgeous Trogon family. Al
though found in nearly every republic
of Central America, this superb crea
ture is confined entirely to the heavy
oak forests of the higher mountains.
In these localities bis shrill scream
may be heard at aDy time, yet it is a
difficult matter to even catch a glimpse
of his brilliant form as he flits from
tree to tree, and far more difficult is
the task of securing specimens Ap
parently fully aware of their beauty
and value, these royal birds are ex
ceedingly shy and suspicious, keeping
entirely to the topmost branches of
the tallest trees, frequently far out of
shotgun range. This statement is no
exaggeration, for the trees often at
tain a height of 300 feet.—Outing Mag
azine.

to pay street car fare before the

The Cruelty of Thoughtlessness.
Most of tint cruelty <1 the world is
thoughtless cruelty. Very few people
would intentionally add to another’s
load or make his burden in life heavier
or his path rougher. Most of the great
heart wounds are inflicted by thought
less thrusts, flung out often in a mo
ment of anger, when perhaps we were
too proud to apologize or to try to heal
the grievous wounds we had made.
Can anything be more cruel than to
discourage a soul who is struggling to
do the best he can, to throw stumbling
blocks in the path of those who are
trying to get ou in the world against
great odds?
No life is just the same after you
have once touched it. Will you leave
a ray of hope or one of despair, a flash
of light or a somber cloud across some
dark life each day? Will you by
thoughtless cruelty deepen the shadow
which hangs over the life, or will you
by kindness dispel it altogether? No
matter how you feel or what is dis
turbing your peace of mind, never al
low yourself to send out a discourag
ing, a cruel or an unkind word or
thought.—Success Magazine.
A Lost Dime.
A man one day called upon the first
John Jaeol* Astor with a business
proposition which demanded an in
vestment of SIOO,OOO on liis part. While
listening to the plan he kept groping
and feeling about on the floor for
something he seemed to have dropped.
When the plan had been explained he
said readily: “All right.. I’ll furnish
the money.” At that instant a man
entered to tell him that one of his
buildings had burned down.
“That happens nearly every day,”
he said, with the utmost unconcern,
apd went on feeling about with great
care for that something on the carpet
Finally the visitor was curious enough
to inquire what he had dropped.
“1 dropped a dime here a moment
ago,” he replied, “and I can’t find it
If a man’s buildings burn down they
are gone, and he can’t help it. but a
man who deliberately throws away 10
cents been use he won’t take t tie trou
ble to look for it is not to he forgtven.”
The more you think over it the more
you will see the good sense in that
piece of philosophy
A Lazy Boy’s Invention.
The long handled shovel has made
over $300,000 for its inventor, and the
inventor was a lazy, shiftless boy of
seventeen named Reuben Davis, whose
father lived In Vermont at the time.
He set Reuben to digging dirt and
loading it on a wagon, and the short
handled shovel made the boy's back
ache. One afternoon when his father
was away he took out the short handle
and substituted a long one and found
the work much easier.
When the father returned home Reu
ben got a thrashing, but after the old
man had used the shovel himself he
said that it was a good thing and got
it patented. They are now manufac
tured almost by the million. That
