< I count of the famous shrine of
Fatima, sister of the Imam Riza, a fa
mous saint of the Mohammedans.
I While Lieutenant Rawlinson was on
I his way to Teheran he heard much at
4 this sacred cRy and the glories at the
shrine, which, it was said, no Euro
pean bad ever entered. Death, so rumor
whispered, would be the portion of the
audacious infidel who should be discov
ered within its precincts.
Ton. young and ardent spirit a danger
ous adventure is an irresistible attrac
tion. Young Rawlinson determined to
‘ visit the shrine. Disguised as a Persian
pilgrim, thousands of whom annually
journey to the sacred city, he joined the
crowd of pilgrims. His knowledge of
Persian and of the customs of the coun
try enabled him to pass undetected
through the temple gates and to make
i, his way to:the tomb ot the saint The
guardian gave him the customary form
of words and he repeated them.
But his curiosity almost caused his
detection, m Attracted bjr magnificent
sui ts of SMriL’Urmor whiqh hung on the
< walls, his was gazing at them, when
suddenly he found that he had turned
his back upon the sacred shrine where
in the saint was entombed.
„ ->.'Athrillof alarm 'startled him, but
the discourtesy, impossible to a “true
believer,”' had ifot been noticed. If it
had been, there would probably have
been no further career for the young
lieutenant, who subsequently became
the decipherer ofAssyrian and Babylo
‘ nian inscriptions and. texts, and died the
renowned orientalist; Sit Henry Raw-

MATES OF GREAT MEN.
The Wives ot Both DUraeM and OtodStont
* E’’’ , f | Were forave.
Once when Gladstone was making an
outdoor speech it began to rain. Quietly
Mrs. Gladstone, with her sweet, moth
erly face, and who always accompanied
her husband, stood up, and, opening a
domestic looking umbrella of the Gamp
species, held it over him. The spectacle
which the old couple presented there
standing together was so touching and
appealed so thoroughly to the good feel
ings of the crowd, because of the strik
ing picture of Darby and Joan domes
ticity, that when a.burly costermonger,
who had been loudest in his catcalls
and hooting of Mr. Gladstone up to
that moment, suddenly shouted, “Three
cheers forthe grand old woman!” every
one responded with a will.
Lady Beaconsfield showed similar de
votion to Gladstone's great rival on
more than* one occasion.

with Disraeli she refrained from utter

Dancing Birds.
One of the many strange sights on
the plains of southern Africa is j> party
of waltzing ostriches. Their queer an
tics have been described thus:
“When there are a number of them,
they will start off in the morning and
after running a few hundred yards will
stop, and with raised wings will whirl
rapidly round till they are stupefied or
perhaps break a leg. The males pose
also Uffore fighting and to make their
court. They kneel on their ankles,
opening their wings and balancing
themselves alternately forward and
backward or to one side or the other,
while the neck 1s stretched on a level
with the back and the head strikes the
sides, now on the right, now on the
left, while the feathers are bristling.
The bird appears at this time so absorb
ed in its occupation as to forget all that
is going on around him and can be ap
proached and caught The male alone
utters a cry, which sounds much like
an effort to speak with the mouth shut
tight” ■
Discovery of the Home of Buddha.
Far away on the border of Nepal the
home of Guatama Buddha has been dis
covered. Buddha lived about 500 B. Cl
and was the son of the rajah of Kapila
vastu. A pillar, inscribed by the Em
peror Asoka in the third century B. C.,
marks the city’s site. The ruins are all
of brick and are covered with jungle
and so extensive that their exploration
will require years. The city was de
stroyed during Buddha’s lifetime. It
was a mass of ruins in A. D. 410, when
the first Buddhist Chinese pilgrim made
his way there. The buildings that are
now being excavated are older than any
thing known in India heretofore.—Lon
don Letter.
Children.
A remarkable tale of human fecundi
ty is told by the London Daily News.
An Italian peasant woman named Gra
uata, married at 38 yearn, has borne 63
children. She began with a single
daughter, followed by six boys at a
birth, then by five more, and these by
triplets twice and four at a birth. After
thjgjsfie limited herself, like ordinary
women, to single babies and twins, but
woundup with another batch of four.

The first railroad in Sweden was
opened in 1855, and the country has
now in proportion to its population
more railways than any other country
in Europe. They are owned partly by
the state and partly by private corpora

the world which passes the polar circle
—i. e. the state line from Luleh to Gel- |

Lucid Explanation.
An Irishman walking over a plank
sidewalk, in counting some money ac
cidentally dropped a nickel, which roll
ed down a crack between two of the
boards. The Irishman was much put
out by his loss, trifling though it was,
and continued on his way, swearing
audibly.
Early the next day a friend, while
walking by the spot, discovered the
Irishman deliberately dropping a dollar,
down the same crack through which he
had lost his nickel. The friend was of
course much astonished at what he saw,
mid desiring to learn why Pat should
deliberately, to all appearances, throw
away money inquired his reasons and
was fairly taken off his feet by the fol-,
lowing explanation:
“It was this way, ” said Pat. “It’l,
yesterday I was passin this way when I
lost a nickel down that hole, Now, I,
reasoned thot it wasn’t worth me while
to pull up thot sidewalk for a nickel,
but last night a scheme struck me, and
I am dropping down the dollar to make
it worth me while. “—-Chicago News.

worth $3,000,000 and the next be com

Old Thomas Fuller spoke thus of wat
in his “Holy State:” “A soldier is one
of a lawful, necessary, commendable
and honorable profession; yea, God
himself may seem to be one free of the
company of soldiers, in that he styleth
himself ‘a man of war.* Now, though
many hate soldiers as twigs of the rod
war, wherewith God socureth wanton
countries into repentance, yet is their
calling so needful that were not some
soldier* we must be all soldiers, daily
employed to defend our own, the world
would grow so licentious. ”
