A PERSECUTED 6ECT. DRIVEN OUT
BY THE PRESENT SHAH.
The Illse and Fall of nab, the M oh am

Untimely lxath The Ureator lUbw,
Who In an Exile from Ills Native Land.
ProfeBor Browne, locturer in Persian
at the University of Cambridge, has
written a curious book, entitled "The
Episode of the Bab." Probably a few
people know who the Bab id, but Mr.
Browne's researches are certain to
awaken interest in the man who was the
arch heretic of Pernia in the early part
of the rein of the present shah. He
died a violent death at the hands of the
government when it was learned that
the heresy that he preached threatened
the peace of the national church. His
followers live and are faithful to his
memory and teachings.
Their leaders are in exile, and Profes
sor Browne's book tells of his extraordi
nary exertions to see them and fjet their
story from their own lips. They are
scattered far and wide. Some of them
are in Cvnrus: ot hers are in Palestine.
I '
! wife from the vengeance of the shah. All
of them would expect to lose their heads
if they Bhowed themselves in Persia.
Only the humble followers of the Bab
live unmolested in their own country,
holding their meetings secretly for fear
of the persecution of the angry Mollahs.
The Bab was a Mohammedan re
former, who went to Mecca and came
back with a new commentary on the
Koran. He spoke of himself as superior
to Mohammed and to all other great re
ligious reformers, but he announced
that a greater than he was coming. That
greater one is Beha, who lives in an
earthly- paradise called Behje, near
Tyre, where Professor Browne found
him. The author says he feels quite un
equal to the task of conveying a vivid
impiession of the faces and forms that
surroumled him during his visit to this
strar.ge retreat. He almost runs short
of iid ject Ives when he describes the
wondrous and venerable figure of the
holy man. He says he beheld a face
which he will never forget, although he
cannot descrile it. The piercing eyes
seemed to read his very soul. "No need
to ask in whose presence 1 stood a.s 1
bowed myself liefore one who is the ob
ject of a devotion and love which kings
might envy and emperors 6igh for in
vain."
Bella's preaching is a prophecy of the
"most great ieaee" and of the brother
hood and unity of man. The brother
hood of the entire race is coming, he
predicts. Prof. Browne says Beha knows
the exact position of Euroiean affairs
and is sorry for the western nations.
He sees kings and rulers lavishing their
treasures in the purchase of means of
destruction instead of procuring the
means of happiness. Meekness, con
cord, obedience, submission are the es
sentials of his secret in the perfect way.
He is loved aiid revered by all his fol
lowers wherever they may be, and many
a message from him is read in the secret
meetings in Persia of the humble fol
lowers of the Bab.
The Bab was not learned in the law
like the great doctors of the church,
and for that reason they held him in
contempt. It was his habit to dispute
with them in the temples, and although
he was ignorant his wisdom put their
knowledge to shame. They said he
proved himself an impostor because he
talked bad grammar. He showed them
that his grammar was the grammar of
the Koran, and asked them if it was not
better to be wrong with the prophet
than right with the rest of the world
Whenever he became too troublesome
thev beat him with rods. At last they
had him shot. A company of infantry
was drawn up, and the Bab and one of
his followers were placed before it as
targets. The first discharge killed the
follower, but only broke the cords that
bound the prophet. He might have con
verted his executioners then if he had
had time to make the most of the situa
tion. But before he could speak the
second volley was fired and the Bab
died of many wounds.
His followers were terribly incensed
at the outrage, and tried to assassinate
the shah. It is said that he fainted with
terror at the sight of the conspirators,
and was only saved by the timely arri
val of his escort. For a time he made
Persia very unsafe for the followers of
the Bab. He killed their leaders, and
to this day those who escaped from their
native land have never dared to return.
Among the victims was the one Salva
tion Lass of the movement, the beauti
ful Kurratu 'l-Wyn, who, it is said, was
a miracle of learning and of every femi
nine charm. She was killed by slow
torture, and to the very last she declared
her supreme faith in the teachings of
the Bab. The Mollahs who slew Ler
came near rebelling a few months ago
when their lord and master threatened
to Interfere with the tobacco question
in Persia. They made him tremble for
his life and throne until the obnoxious
measures he proposed were rescinded.
Meanwhile Beha is waiting patiently
in exile, confident that the day will come
when his teachings will triumph in Per
sia and the leaders of his faith can re
turn to their land. Xew York Sun.
A Coon Story.
Two men located a varmint in a tree
and one scaled up for the prize. After
an interval of several minutes, which
were enlivened by skirmishing among
the foliage, the man on the ground
called out, "John, have you got him?"
I have,'? came the decided response.
"Do you want me to climb up and
help yon bold him?"'
"Thunder and lightning, no! I wish
you'd come up and help me let loose!"

"I like the" dashing cornet and the
prightly claiinet," said Colonel Calli
per, "but 1 like best of ikll that bra
fountain of cheerfrUiKtw, tho big bu-M
horn. Care takes n lwiek seat when the
bi- horn Mund. It aints the air red
and delies all creation, but it is vastly
good natured withal, and it never fails
when it friends the cornet and the clari
net paue for breath to come in with its
oomph-ah! oomph-ah! oomph-ahl pre
serving the harmony unbroken.
Relieved from this duty.it rolls off
over the edge of a cliff and brings up
suddenly at the foot with a tremendous
oomph! Rebounding, with dignity un
ruffled, with undiminished vigor, and
with undimmed, inextinguishable and
overwhelming good humor, it tosses off
sound in large decorative effects that
excite the wonder of every hearer and
fill every hearer with broad delight.
"Just why the big bass horn is usually
played by a short, stout man, while the
slender clarinet is played by a man who
is tall and thin is one of those things
that nobody knows. The . time may
come, indeed, when the short, stout man
will play t!ie slender clarinet ami the
tall, thin man will play the big bass
horn; but by whomsoever it m;iy be
played .let us hojie that the big horn's
thunderous jollity will never be abated."

Too Mtirh.
Mrs. Laverty, an Irish lady, who lived
thirty miles f rom the American Rich
mond, was in the provident habit of
laying in a store of groceries to last an
entire quarter, since she could not repair
to Richmond oftener than four times a
year. On one of these provisioning ex
peditions she laid in a store of matches
a disastrous investment, since not a
match would strike. Wild was her fury,
which was kept alight and aglow by her
recurring daily trouble to get her fire
alight and aglow without a match. Her
wrath, thus kept at boiling point for
three months, gave the storekeeper a
hot quarter of an hour, when she burst at
last into his store and thundered down
the parcel of matchboxes uon the
counter. Having waited with defer
ential patience until the storm had sjent
itself, he said suavely, "Allow me,
madam."
Taking a matchbox from the parcel
and a match from the box, he struck it,
after the manner of men, upon his trous
ers. "See, madam?" he exclaimed in
6mug triumph, holding up the kindled
match. "The divil fly away wid ye!"
shrieked Mrs. Laverty. "Do ye think
that ivery time I've a fire to light I'll
thravel thirty miles to sthrike a match
on the sate of yere breeches?" Richard
A. King in Belgravia.
A Gallant Irlh Hoy.
The biographer of General Crawford
tells the following story: During Wel
lington's campaign in the Peninsula, the
Light division was defeated by the
French under Marshal Ney, and forced
to retreat across a river. A young bol
dier from the north of Ireland, named
Stewart, was nicknamed "The Boy," as
he was only nineteen years of age and
of gigantic stature.
He had fought bravelj-, and was one
of the last iren who came down to the
bridge, over which the division was re
treating. He refused to pass over, but
gazing at the French with a grim look,
said in a loud voice:
"So this is the end of our boasting!
This is our first battle, and we retreat!
The Boy Stewart will not live to hear
that said."
Striding forward, he fell upon the ad
vancing Frenchmen with his bayonet,
and died fighting.
"Gallant, but rash'." the reader says.
Yes, but so were the unyielding warriors

Ply Pishing.
There is no doubt that certain flics are
best adapted to different seasons, times
of day and conditions of weather, but a
dozen flies of different names will fully
answer all of these requirements. An
anglers flies resemble nothing when cast
upon the water. They are simply a
something which attracts the trout.
Color has more allurement than form,
and as there are not so many colors there
is no use for man)' flies. The general
rule is for light flies on dark daj-s and
dark or darkish flies on light da3-s. Sizes
are more to be considered than form
and mixture in makeup. A large trout
wants something worth his making an
effort to secure. It is doubtless true
that an arbitrary cast of flies cannot bo
made up which will be adapted to all
waters. Forest and Stream.
Looked Like Her Doll.
A little miss at the South End has a

Until within a short time she had never

while walking with her mother, one
chanced into view. The young woman
immediately recognized the similarity
between the life and the facsimile at
home.
"Oh, mamma," said she, "there's
Chum Chum." But almost instantly the
difference in size appealed to her and
she corrected herself:
"No, no; Chum Chum's dad." Bos
