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.

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. devoted to her husband, and many old paritomentarianarecall the story Os how after having Iktel 'her hand terribly crushed id th o carriage- door Whileffriv ing down to the house of parliament with Disraeli she refrained from utter ing a cry or from saying a word about her injury Jest his mind should be divert ed from the great and important speech which he was to deliver that night.

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.

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.

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. ” Color East aad West, California is beautiful ip color—red, purple, yellow.
