HOPE Poem [Siftings]
THE DOWN HILL ROAD Short Story [Rena Riverton]
LIFE IN PERSIA
Through Persia moves a little, it is one of the most unprogressive empires. It had no postal system until 1870. It has but one wagon road of any considerable length. No railroads have been built, as the Shah will not incur the financial risk, nor make an investment of foreign capital secure. The telegraph now connects the capital with provincial capitals. The cost of living has greatly increased in the last few years. Most of the Persians are very poor, the tenant5s or agriculturists forming the poorest class. A merchant with $50,000 is considered very rich.
The social life of Persia has not changed perceptibly. The Persian of the genuine type and old school hardly thinks himself in a condition to be seen until his hair and beard have been dyed and his finger nails stained, if not his fingers also. He rises at the early dawn, and repeats the usual prayer; and having drunk a cup of tea, if he be rich enough to afford it, goes to the field or to his shop. At 10 oclock he sits down in his place of business to eat a breakfast of bread and sour milk which has been brought up0on a tray and set before him. The hours of midday, in summer, are passed in sleep. Labor, when resumed, is continued until sunset. The principal meal of the day and the best he can afford of meat, rice and savory dishes, is partaken of in company with the members of his family, and after nightfall, and in the open court of the house, or upon the roof. If inclined to drink wine and arak, the most approved custom is to indulge at this hour. He satiat!
es his thirst, if that be possible, by drunkenness, having first taken the precaution of locking the doors and going to bed. [Cincinnati Commercial]
HINDOO CRAFTSMEN
The supple, delicate fingers of the craftsmen are as remarkable as those of the Japanese, although their hands are much larger. But one thing must very forcibly strikes the visitor who watches these clever workmen and who observes the primitiveness of their appliances the sad fact that the march of civilization has deprived us western nations of the use of our toes. To be able to use four hands instead of two in art work must obviously be an enormous advantage, and the long, prehensile toe of the Hindoo craftsman is even more remarkable than that of his Japanese brother. To see the ivoryworker turning his lathe with his upper hands, while he guides it and holds the ivory in his lower ones, is quite and education in possibilities of development of what to us are really almost rudimentary organs daily, in fact, becoming more so under the operation of the fashionable bootmaker.
A DESPERATE MOVE
John she said to the young man who had been courting her for five long years. John, I sat for my photograph today. I suppose you want one?
Oh, yes, indeed.
By the way, John, I had them taken especially for some friends in California, and they want my autograph on the cards. Now, John, I dont know whether to sign my maiden name or wait a few months until after I am married. I suppose you do intend to get married in a few months, don' you John." It was a desperate move, but she won, and in two months both will be made one. [Philadelphia Herald]
WORDS VERSUS FIGURES
He was looking for a rich wife and thought he was on the trail.
I love you, he said to her in rich warm tones, more than I can tell you in words.
Youd better try figures, she replied coldly, for she was not so green as she looked. [Washington Critic]

RAM FIGHTING IN THE ORIENT
The Persians have their own peculiar pastimes, and that some of them correspond very nearly with our own. Strolling down towards the Shah Abbas bazaar in Teheran the same evening after talking with Mr. B ---, my attention is attracted by a small crowd of Teherains of the lower and commercial class congregated in an alley-way, writes Thomas Stevens in Outing. From the excitement and the dull thud of objects striking against each other, it is apparent that rival owners of fighting rams are permitting their champions to struggle for the mastery.
These little contests around quiet corners are of almost hourly occurrence, and a stroll of fifteen minutes about the streets of the Persian capital is impossible without encountering mild-eyed sports leading their pet rams tenderly along by a string. The necks of the rams are encased in broad leathern collars, gaily ornamented with beads and cowries, and from which are suspended amulets to ward off the evil eye, and a clear-toned bell. This bell, dangling from the collar and jingling merrily as he walks along, announces the approach of a fighting ram and his owner or attendant. Sometimes one meets a procession of several, each one in charge of a separate attendant; these engage in a regular tournament for the entertainment of his guests.
The fighting rams of Teheran are of the big-tailed variety. The breed is gentleness impersonate, and their contests are comparatively tame performances. The owners bet freely on the prowess of their respective champions, wagering anything from a dinner of bazaar-kabobs to a stake of several tomans; and plenty of Teherani sports depend entirely upon their ram for a living. Harassed with no hair-splitting niceties nor worrying definitions between amateurism and professionalism, he sallies forth and fights his ran for the wager fo a breakfast for himself and a steed of barley for his pet.
Like knight-errands of old, the Persian sport and his fighting ram wander the streets, seeking battle everywhere, winning a few kerans today and losing them again tomorrow; true soldiers of fortune these, often having to battle for their breakfast before eating it. Many of the smaller merchants own fighting rams, keeping them tied up in front of their shop. When business gets dull, they send challenges to rival merchants, and fights take place daily, sometimes purely for amusement and sometimes for a wager.
SMALL ARTS
It is quite wonderful to think how strangely forgotten and lost the small arts are in England. In some countries the very children can carve in woods, in others they can make artistic pottery; in Egypt they embroider, inlay, and work in jewelry; but in this country our people can do nothing, and have learned nothing outside their trade. The agricultural laborer, it is true, possesses a very considerable and varied amount of knowledge he is skilled in many ways; but the mechanic, the factory hand, the shop man, knows nothing and can do nothing outside his trade, and, which is worse, he considers every kind of handiwork as a trade in itself, to learn which would be leaning another craft, after taking all the trouble in the world to acquire one.
Shall he who has learned to make shoes also learn to make cabinets? And shall the goldsmith also become a stonecutter? And is the evening as well as the solid day to be given up to labor? And is it right to invade another mans trade territory? - [Art Journal]
NOT HIGH ENOUGH FOR THAT
Oh, papa, exclaimed a little boy passenger with his face to the window, what a great high hill that is!
Yes, my son, said the man, with a weary look in his face and crape on his hat, it is very high. That is a mountain, Arthur.
Shall we get off the cars and go and climb up the high mountain, papa?
Oh, no. Why should we do that, Arthur?
Cause, pa, I didnt know by maybe we might climb to the top and then look up and see mamma. Do you think we could? [Chicago Herald]
HE WANTED A REMNANT
I understand you are offering some remnants for sale, said an Arkansaw man to a dry goods clerk.
Yes, sir, we have some choice remnants, which we are offering very cheap.
Wal, I want a remnant for my dog.
For your dog?
Yas, you see, some fellers cut my dogs tail off, an I thought eff yer had a remnant of a yaller hull dog I mout find a piece atd fit. [Goodalls Sun]

BASE BALLS
A fair estimate of the number of balls made for the present season is said to be 5,000,000 or one for every ten of the population of the entire country. The hard unyielding base balls that are now used by professional ballplayers are very different articles from those which were in vogue a quarter of a century ago. In fact they differ as greatly as the present game of baseball does from that which was played in those days. Dead or professional baseballs are made entirely by hand. According to rules laid down by the league they must weigh within five and a quarter ounces. A little rubber ball, weighing two ounces, is used as the foundation for two ounces of woolen yarn that is wound around the ball, and permits of it coming within the regulation size, weight, and shape. The limit in size is nine inches in circumference. The yarn used makes the circumference of the ball considerably more than this, but it is corrected by undergoing a hammering process, after which th!
e little sphere are turned over to the coverers, who invest them with a casing of horse hide, sewn with linen thread. Non-professional balls are made by machinery. To show the difference in the speed, care and cost of manufacture of base balls it may be stated that a certain factory near New York can turn out 48,000 machine-made balls in a day, while the limit of manufacturer for dead balls in the same time is eighteen.

THE ANARCHISTS FOUND GUILTY
The trial of the Anarchists at Chicago is over and the penalty imposed on seven out of eight is death. The tragic and shameful end of these lives is the outcome of dangerous doctrines that defy law and order. There is no real nor desirable success to be hoped for or attained in any struggle which attempts to overthrow the law. All reformers or would be reformers should take to heart this solemn lesson that the more peaceful the struggle, the more conservative the organization of societies that would effect changes, or set aright wrongs or supposed wrongs, the surer the accomplishment of purposes.
THE AGONY OVER
The release of Cutting is in perfect accordance with Secretary Bayards view of the case all along. The war fever that has rolled like a tidal wave over the country for the past thirty days originated more from the exaggerated reports of the affair than from any well founded belief that there was any reasonable probability of war, and now that the thing is about settled, grim visaged war sill have but very little trouble in smoothing his wrinkled font.
There has been entirely too much red tape about the affair on the parts of the Mexican government and too much delay on the part of ours, but barring these two features and a few mistakes in the conduct of negotiations for Cuttings release theres not much to be said about the late Mexican imbroglio.
The public will congratulate itself on being no longer bored by the newspaper accounts of the affair and the newspaper editor on the other hand will scratch his head and wonder where he will strike the next bonanza in the shape of something suitable to re-produce his old chestnuts about Editor Cutting and the part he played while pitted against the Mexican Greaser.
WRONG TACTICS
Mr. Blaines speech delivered Tuesday at Segnabone Lake, Maine, will be regarded by the country in the nature of a disappointment.
There was a great deal of interest attached to this looked-for speech, as it was long ago, voted the first gun of any importance that the Mulligan statesmen would fire as a signal for the campaign in 1888. Its explosion has made by the little noise throughout the country, and the ammunition with which it was hourly loaded was not of the character to endanger the target at which the instrument was aimed.
Instead of confining himself to the alleged blunders of a Democratic administration, and availing himself of the opportunity to magnify the few mistakes that Mr. Cleveland may have made during his brief administration, he goes back and rakes up the same old hobbles he rode to death in his desperate effort to boost himself in the White House three years ago.
True he did casually criticize the defects: of the administration, paying some attention tot he fishery troubles and the Mexican affair, but the burden of his speech was a rehash of the old issues involved in the last campaign and that were met and refuted then on every stump from Maine to California. If Mr. Blaine really wants to again lead the grand old party to another inglorious in a national campaign his speech on Tuesday may be considered opportune and well calculated to realize for him his dearest hopes; but if he is really impressed with the belief that he has any sort of a showing in the approaching presidential campaign, he must immediately proceed to revise the tactics with which he has set out to win. [Montgomery Dispatch]
THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION
The Congressional Convention meets today at Fayette C. H. There exists an intense suppressed excitement all over the district in regard to the convention. And it is with no little anxiety that we await the result. The deliberations of that body should be conducted in a spirit of fairness; and a readiness to yield the first choice and to take the second choice of their constituents ins a plain and imperative duty of each delegate, it matters not from what county he comes. It is to be hoped that the delegates who represent the people is that convention will lay aside all that part of likes and dislikes personal to themselves and represent the interest of their constituents. It will be no place for the paying of political debts, or the avenging of past slights. The delegates in that convention it is hoped will remember that they represent the wishes of thirty thousand voters who have as much right to their personal preferences as the ninety-seven who compose the conventi!
on. And we admonish them to remember, that notwithstanding a majority of them can take it is their hands and nominate whom they please, that when the election comes that each voter in the district has equal right to this preferences and to over rider the sentiment of the people is a dangerous thing. The preferences of his constituents and hot his own, is the only thing that will win, and should be the rule of action to guide each delegate.
Fayette Journal
Friday morning while JAS. And GEO. SANDERS and MILAS HARRIS were at work in a field on the VICK place, 12 miles south of town, pulling fodder, some one, unknown to the men, rode up to the fence and burst to caps. The men in the field were not sure who the man in ambush was, or what his purpose was, and did not leave the field until 12 oclock. Harris told a neighbor that some one had made an attempt to take his life, and inquired of him if he had seen a certain man pass his house that morning. Why Harris thought an attempt had been made to take his life, or why he enquired about one man only, our informant did not know.
After dinner the three men returned to work, as if nothing had happened, little dreaming that one of their number would soon be launched into eternity. Some time near the middle of the evening a gun shot was heard, the report coming from the fence, and Harris was seen fall. He called to his companions to see who had shot him. Two more shots were fired after Harris fell. The men at work with Harris left (as was stated at the Coroners inquest) as soon as the first shot was fired, and ran off about 100 yards and halted. They saw a man climb the fence and go to where Harris fell. He had his hat drawn down over his face so that they not tell who he was. When he saw that Harris was dead he seemed satisfied, recrossed the fence and disappeared to the woods.
The deceased is said to have been an honest hard-working man, and at present his assassination is a mystery.
Carlisle D. Graham, who a short time since went safely through the Niagara rapid in a barrel, has again performed his dangerous feat. This time so arranged as to leave his head protruding above the top. The crank, however, called lustily for help before he got out, and when he finally got the soles of both feet on terra firma and recovered his breath, he announced that this was positively his last performance.
