Among the pall bearers nt his funeral were three sons, aged 140, 120 and 109 years. 1 hey were white haired, but strong and hcartv.” The Ritiluay Aye »nyn-. "It is probable that the number of miles of new road constructed in the United States during 1887 will bo about 12,000. This figure is the greatest on record. It has never been approached except in 1882, when the total was 11,508 miles. Track-laying for 1887, up to September I, aggregates 0,402 miles. Kansas still continues far in the lead over the other States in the work of railway construction.” —— ’ The Americans living in Paris held a mcc ing on the evening of the day when some of them had gone to decorate La fayette’s grave, and passed resolutions to the effect that a proper return for the gift of Bartholdi's stature would be a statue of Washington, or of Washington and Lafayette, to be offered to the French ]>eople and to be set up in Paris April 30, 1889, the centennial of the day when, thanks to the assistance given by France and Lafayette, our first President took the oath of oilice. A speaker before the Association for the Advancement of Science gave a criti cism upon American living. He said: “To the rule that those who most need to economize buy the cheapest food, the dietary practices of the people of the United States evince marked excep tions, in that."many, "even among those who desire to economize, use needlessly expensive kinds of food. They too often endeavor to make their diet attractive by paying high prices in the market rather than by skillful cooking and tasteful serving at home." Mr. ('. O’B. Cowardin, the editor of the Kiehmond (Va.) l>inpate/i, has re ceived from the United States Govern ment $3, wages due him as “No. 5.” The Kiehmond S/afr explains that some time ago there was a vessel in distress off Cobb's Island. The captain of the life station ordered out a life boat, but he needed one. man to complete the crew. His call for volunteers was answered by Mr. Cowardin, wh > performed the duty of “No. 5,” and was known ns “No 5.” As “No. 5” knew what he was about, the ship was reached and saved. f —, Efforts for special education in agri culture are gaining ground in public esteem all over the world. We notice in a London exchange that the Lords ot the Committee of Council on Education have directed that the title of the office of Lecturer in Agriculture, held by Pro fessor Wrightson, in the Normal School of Science and Koyal School of Mines, should lie altered to that of Professor in Agriculture. This happily raises agri culture in respect to status among the other branches of education conducted under the Committee of Council on Edu cation. Between French Guiana ami Brazil is a region of 100,I'll * square miles, contain ing 00,000 inhabitants, whose ; o-session hasbovu contested for two hundred years. Fnmco claims it on one hand, Br .zd on the other, and all because of an incom prehensible clause in the treaty of Utrecht. Neither Fiance nor B aril has ever dreamed of taking possession of this territory, either by force or by arbitra* tion-of a friendly nation. 'I he principal ceiiUx-of population in this country is Counani, which has about 359 inhabi tants and will soon be the capital of a uew Republic. A short time ago the Counanians proclaimed the inde|>cndcnce of their country, and chose for President, M. Jules Gros, a venerable Frenchman, who has explored the banks of the Amazon. M. Gros lives near Paris, and there he received the news of his ap eritif fhich he accepted. TRAVELING BY CARAVAN THE PRINCIPAL MODE OF TRANS PORTATION IN PERSIA. Camels, Mules and Donkcya Used in Pilgrimages ami Trade —How Persians lllde-Tbo “Tsliappar.’ j For Americans, the most progressive nation, it must be hard to conceive a ountry absolutely without progress, a country where the ways of 4,000 years ago are the ways of to-day. “Suchacoun try is Persia," says W. Von Schicr-Brand - in the New York (,'ommerrial Adeertuter. The muscles of the quadruped ami the I muscles of the biped arc the only engines >f locomotion known there. The caravan, such as described in the tab s of the one eyed calendar, is still the all important means of communication, the caravan with its chief guide, its camel, mule and . donkey drivers, its manifold dangers, I its slowness ami patriarchal habit*. Caravans in Persia arc of all sizes and kinds, depending very much on the route to lie traveled over, and on the sea-on. The largest caravans arc those made up I of pilgrims to Mecca and to Meshed. ! The trip to Mohammed's tomb and back ; is calculated to consume six months, ami one caravan starts each year to Persia, varying in size from 10,000 to 70,000. It is a dangerous journey at the best, ami there is good ami substantial reason, be sides religious enthusiasm, to accord special honors and the honorary cog- ■ nomen “hadjee” to every one who has braved its perils. Out of every five pil grims who start out for Mecca not more than two return. The others have died by the roadside from heat, disease or under the daggers of robbers. The pil grims to Mesbed are, however, much more numerous than those who try to win foreigners of their sins by a visit to the prophet’s grave. At Meshed, a large town in the northwestern extremity of Persia, is the gorgeous silver shrine of Imam Kcz.n, a saint, ranking next to the prophet him self in Persian estimation. During good years the concourse of pious strangers in Meshed mounts up to a quarter of a mil lion in numbers. The caravans who go there arc generally well guarded by an escort of troops and a couple of mounted guns, a needful precaution, ns these thousands of pilgrims carry a good deal of valuable property ami money with them, and used to be the prey of roving bunds of Turcomans from the deserts adjoining Khornssan, Unit being the province in which Meshed is located. Os course, these caravans are excep tions. For the common purpose of every day life, such as trade espeei dy, caravans of all sizes are constantly on their way between all the principal towns of the vast monarchy. Os necessity, these also travel slowly. While the camel is used exclusively as a beast of burden, the mule and donkey are made to serve for riding purposes ns well, though only for the aged, the women and the priests. The horse now, as in the time of Xerxes, is the insepara ble companion of the well-born Persian. When a man is very old and feeble he has a servant trudging beside his steed, leading him by the reins safely over all unevenness in the path. Even fin ill boys of six ride on horseback when they are away from home. The women ride, ns ■•aid before, on donkeys, or else either by ‘‘Kedshaweh” or by “takhterava'i.” the latter is a species of sedan chair, carried by two mules, one in front and one in the rear. It is not. the most pleasant sort of locomotion, and to those unaccustomed to it the continued : hak ing produced by the uneven tread of the two animals has a similar effect to sea •sickness. Still, habit is everything, and the wives of well-to-do Persians almost invariably choose this method of trans port rather than any other. The “Ked shaweh” is an institution affected only by the wives and daughters of the poor. It consists of a brace of baskets, one hanging down from each side of an ass or mule, large enough for a woman to sit in a crouching position, with her knees drawn almost under her chin. The two baskets are thus evenly balanced, and the empty one usually serves to hold the baggage of the female traveler cooped up in the other. Besides by caravan there is another method of traveling in Persia. That is by “tshaiqiar" or post. The great Ameer Nizam, the ablest statesman Persia lias produced during the last century, was the originator of tshappar. He caused a network of postal stations, called “tsliap par khanes,” to be erected along the principal roads leading to the capital. These stations are situated at convenient distances, say an average of twenty miles from each other, and each is presided over by an officer, who lias charge of the dozen or so of tough nng» furnished by the government, and which can be hired by travelers at so much per mile. These postal stations nre always small ami unpretentious buildings, devoid of every comfort, and vouchsafing abso luely nothing but inadequate shelter to the tired traveler. The horses, too, are brutes of low degree and devoid of pedi gree, such mongrels, in fa t, ns are known in the country as “yaboo” (hick). ' The discomforts to be encountered while traversing the country by tshappar are j many and serious, and none but an iron constitution will bear them without danger to life and limb. But for all that. Europeans always prefer to go by tshap par in Persia, ns being less objectionable and certainly much more expeditious ; than caravan travel. As to thecaravanscrics, those primitive hostelries erected for the accommodation of persons traveling by caravan, they are all more or less in ruins and decay. The present Shah has not caused to be built nor replaced a single one of these structures, scattered liberally over the vast surface of the co ;ntry. The best ones extant, even to day, are those which Abbas the Great erected 300 years ago. While some of the latter are architect urally very fine, resembling palaces from a distance, they have long ago been de spoiled of every object tending to afford some comfort to the many travelers, and are bare of everything like furniture. ' The wells near a great many of them having dried up in the course of cen turies, some of the most gorgeous of: these caravanseries are now practically u<elcss. Time never works; it eats, ami unde.- mines, and rots, and rusts, and destroy But it never works. It only gives us . •Ypportunity to work. WINE ’JORDS. Rebuke with soft words and hard v gumcDts. The friendship of the artful is mere self hit' rest. Never think that you can make your self great by making another less. Let him who regrets the loss of time make prop" uscol that which is to come in the future. Many lose the opportunity of saying a kind thing l y wailing to weigh the matter too long. What men want is not talent, it is ptirpo-c; not the power to achieve, but tlie will to labor. Ideas gciiciate ideas; like a potato, which, cut in pieces, reproduces itself in a mutilated form. No fountain is so small but that heaven may be imaged in its bosom.— N'lthaniil Il'tvthorne. Opportunities arc very sensitive things. If you slight them on their first visit they seldom come again. Feelings come and go like light troops following the victory of the present; but principles, like troops of the line, arc un disturbed and stand fast. Our affections arc like our teeth; they make us sutler while they are coming, after they have come, and when we lose them. They arc not the less the simile of life. Bull vs. Bicycle. There arc many instances on record where men's lives have been saved by speedy horses, but, possibly, the first in stance in which the treacherous looking bicycle has figured as a life saver oc cuired at Stanford, Ky., the past week. Dr. W. B. I’enny, of that place, is a typical Kentuckian, over six feet tall, and built in proportion. The Doctor makes a specialty of pulling teeth, and uses his wheel—a fifty-six-inch sky semper—in making his visits. Onecven ing recently he made a call several miles fb in town, and was delayed until nearly dark. He started home, however, after lighting his hub lantern. He hud pedaled along serenely two or three miles over the smooth Stanford pike, thinking of supper, wiien suddenly he heard a com motion in his rear. Glancing back, 1/ was startled to see a mad bull, with he® down and tail erect, charging at hit” with full speed. The red side lights f the lantern ba I roused the bovine's iizj| anil he had determined to annihilate it, There was no time to think Grasping his handles firmly the 1 oetor bent hi.iv.- scif to business, and pedaled as he nc'Atr pedaled I efore. Faster and faster went the light m thine, but closer came the infuriated i nil. Straining every neijm the Doctor pulled himself up u hf* knowing that once up he could gain upth his bloodthirsty pursuer, and possilU escape. A slipped pedal or a heaitor meant death, ai d he knew it. I’ut strut legs an 1 a s out machine gained the v’;- tory, and the hill top was reached w*.i. the bull not over thirty feet behind. ]mt the Doctor knew he could quickly const away from his enemy on the declivity before him, and throwing his tired legs over the bundle bars, he rapidly drew away and left his pursuer. The race was only three-quarters of a mile, and did not last much more than two minutes, but it seemed miles and hours long to the man on the wheel. Courier-Jourii I. Saratoga Chips. “Do Saratoga chips come from Sara toga?" inquired a Mail mid Express re porter of a New York grocer. "Not much,'’ said the grocer. "They arc made in this city, and many are' shipped to Saratoga. But if you want to know all about them just go up to the b akery and see how they nre made.” At the bakery it was learned that the concern has a monopoly of the business in this city, and that there are only three makers of Saratoga chips in the counf.y. ( hips are an Ameriian institution, and nre not known aboad save fur some sn: ill lots that have bi cn exported. The pro cessor manufacturing is in part a secret. The potatoes are peeled and slued by machinery. They arc washed and dried bi tween muslin clothes. If they were now fried the amount of starch that they contain would make them brown, and the secret of the business is to remove all of tlie starch, so that the ehips will be perfectly white. When this is done they are put into tlie hot grease, andcoiueout curled and crisp and with the delicious flavor that has made them famous the world over. Said the manager: "We use seventy-five barrels of pota toes a week, keep seven bakers at work, and have three wagons out deliv ring. Hotels take them by the barrel, restaurants take them in twenty-tive pound boxes, and for grocers to serve to private families we put them up in one pound cartons. The dining cars on nearly all the railroads use them, and we have sent some to England. Cities as far away as Jacksonville, Florida, and San Francisco send to us for Saratoga chips. They will keep for three months. A few minutes in a hot oven makes them as crisp as though they were just fried.” Au Overdose. Judge “Os course you have an ex cuse ready?” Prisoner—“l have, your Honor. I was full, but it was for medical purposes. Whisky is good for snake-bites.” Judge—" You were bitten byasnake?” Prisoner—“No; but your Honor, -an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. ’ ” Judge—"l see, I see. But you should have confined yourself to the ounce. I fine you $lO for prescribing medicine without a diploma.”— Omnha Htra'd. When Giris Should Ride. A well known riding master insists that girls should not be taught to ride until they are ten years old, because they are weak in the spine when weak at all. But stout, active boys can bi* put into the saddle ns soon as they are strong enough to hold on.— lbn-per't Bittar. Prodigal Son—“ Father, after twenty years of fruitless wandering, I have re turned to my old home." "Oh, it's you, is it. Bill! Will, there ain't any wood split for your ma to cook the dinner w ith. P'raps you’d better get up an appetite.” A r ll r.cii _Y< irs. Purposes, like eggs, unless they lie hatched into action, will run into de e iy. DODGE’S C. C. C. C- ’ Mu Men Cholera Cure. Eiitht rears of careful experiment and pains -1 skinit research have resulted in the discovery ofan infallible specific for the cure and pre vention of that most fatal and dreaded enemy of the feathered tribe -Cholera. After the fullest and fairest tests possil; c, in which even claim for the remedy was fullv substantiated, fio remedy was placed upon the market, and everywhere a single trial Ims been all that wa« required to prove it a complete success. -Iho directions for its use are plain and simple, and tlie cost of the remedy so small that the saving of a single fowl will repay the expense. Its effect is almost magical. If the remedy is elven as directed, the course of the disease is stopped at once. Given occasionally as a pre ventive, there need be no fear of Cholera, which annually kills more fowls than all other lUscasescombined. It is true to name, a Cer tain Cure lor Chicken Cholera. No ponltry raiser or farmer can afford to be without it. It j will do all that is claimed for it. Head the fol lowing testimonial : STATE OF GEORGIA, DEPAtITStEX-T OF AoIUCULTVBE, Atlanta, Ga..
