BREAKFAST IN PERSIA. It I Very BimpU Maal Ktb Ahoi Thoac of the Wealthy CIih. Persians took on fruit as a staple food, and the ordinary meal of the working classes and peiisautry Is a loaf of bread and a pound or two of grates or apri cots. The author of "In the Land of the Lion and Sun" says that meat to seldom eaten by the poor. He dwribes some of the favorite foods of the coun try. "MAst" Is much consumed. This is curdled milk, and is made by adding a little curdled milk to fresh milk warm ed. It is then left to cool, and the basin of curdled milk sets In a few hours, having the cream on the top. For tiie first twenty-four hours this Is sweet and delicious, but as a rule the Persian does not care for It until it has become slightly acid. When in this state about half a pint added to a quart of water forms buttermilk, or "dough." A lititle cut mint Is added, and a few lumps of ice, and a cooling drink is made. It Is without question a capital thirK,t-queJ-cher In hot weather. Chcee, too, is much eaten for the morning meal, with a little mint or a few onions. The banker at Hhlraz, to whom the government money wire en trusted, a rich man, told me that he or any other merchant never thought of any more elaborate breakfast than thr.se named above. It is told of a merchant in Ispahan, where they are notoriously stingy, that lie purchased a small piece of cheese at the New Yenr, but could not make up his nilud to the extravagance of eat ing it. So, instead of dividing the mor sel with his clerk, as the boy had fond ly hoped, he carefully placed It In a clear glass bottle, and scaling the bot tle, told the boy to rub his bread on the bottle and imagine the taste of the cheese. This the pair did each morn ing. One day the merchant was Invited to breakfast with a friend. He gave his clerk the key to his otllce, and a half penny to buy a loaf of bread; but the boy returwd, saying he could not get the door open, and although he had bought his bread, could not eat It with out the usual flavor of the cheese. "Oo, fool," said tho merchant, "and rub your bread ou tho door! It Is al most aa satisfying as the bottle." HIS MOTHER'S SMILE. Influence of Little Acts May Kndnrc for Team. Gen. Wugw Svvngtie, who died re cently, had a inutlier of exceptions) ciuimctcT, of which her son was ten derly appreciative. One of his pleasant recollections of her was connected with a young clerk in a b'x;kstore ut Colum bus, Ohio. The youth was poor, ambi tious and of a retiring diMiosltlon. Ills reticence did not tend to make him popular among his mates, but Mrs. Swayne, whenever she visited the store, never forgot to greet, him a smile and a friendly word. Years after, when Gen. Swayne, as commissioner of the Freeduien's Bur rau, was puzzling over the management of half a million former (slaves lu Ala bama, he found Kecrelary of War Kd win M. Stanton a staunch iipKirtrr. The secretary was ,tlie Kternit of all heads of departments, yet to the general he was always kln.l. He was, said report, "unapproachable;" yet Gen. Swayne could always (ipprmcu him. line day Secretary SUmtott drove to the War Ix-partmtut In haute, on his way to aifiinpotiant meeting with the President. He sent a mes.-KUgcr Into the building, to inquire If any one were waiting to see him, "Gen. Swayne Is waiting, sir," was the mes-eitger's report. The Hccrttry left his earring. and hurried into the building. The two men had a little business talk, and 1hcu Gen. Swayne at Iat gave way to irrepress ible curiosity "Mr. Secretary," said he, "I don't understand your grit kindness to me. I have never understood it. You have shown me such unusual favor that I want to ask why you have done It." "Gen. Swayne," said the secretary, "when I was a poor, struggling, lonely clerk lu Columbus, studying law at ulght and working by day, yout mother's kindly smile Htid her encour aging words put heart and hope Into me. I knew about her work among the colored people of Columbus, and 1 was aware of bar Intercut In the ex-slaves. .Vow do you understand? I remember your inotiuT's smile." A Narrow Kweapo, An amusing wedding Incident oc curred recently In a country village. The bride, evidently anxious at tho near approach of the ceremony hour. ;cnt the bridesmaids (one of whom was the young man's sister) on to iwalt her at the church. This action nearly lost her her jiushand. When the bridesmaids reached the church they observed the punctual bride groom patiently waiting at the chan nel steps. Tho lonely misery of his position touched their hearts, and ln tead of waiting In the porcll for the heroine of the day, they good-naturedly walked down the aisle and stood Deslde him In silent sympathy.

DESERT UNIONS AFPARANT BEGINNING OF EM) OW OMAHA HTK1KK LAUNDRY MEN RETURN EVERT ESTABLISHMENT IN THE CITY OP4.NKO TEAMSTERS BACKBONE Teamster Apply for Old Placet, nnd Number Katlmated at From Twelve To Forty Take.'n Peace Move. mtnt Io Oiunba Omaha, Neb., May 19. Unionism does not possess allurements forquito Dumber of the laundry workers, notwithstanding the strike benefits, because when the shops opened up Tuesday morning about one-balf ol the usual forces returned to work. This estimate Is placed upon the number by the employers, but the ttrikers assert tbat only a few of the unionists broke faith and returned to their labor. Certain it is. however, that every laundry In the city which has been closed by the strike, was opened and doing business today as though no strike was in progress. , The break in Union ranks hm not, however, been confined only to tne laundries. The teamsters' union officials admit that twelve of their men have deserted and have gona back to work. The employers plac? the number at forty. Not only tba return of these men, but the action Of the teamsters' union in announcing Its willingness to withdraw two ob J 'ctionablc features of the proposed Scale contract Hives rise to hopes among the business men and strikers, that labor difficulties in Omaha ara tiear an end. The teamsters' union is looked upon as tiie organization that has precipitated the strikes and kept them in progress, inasmuch as sev eral of the smaller strikes are based on sympathy with the teamsters. If, therefore, the teamsters' union ktands by its offer to withdraw the two clauses relating to buycotts and sympathetic strikes, it is anticipated that but little difficulty will be en countered io bringina about a settle ment of all of Omaha's labor dis agreements. Once the teamsters' Hiike is ended, the others will quick ly subside, as but slight cause exists lor maintaining them. ; The question of payment of the Special deputies employed by the ktierit! caused a meeting to be held today ,of the county commissioners ind members of the city council,, iltould each pay half of the expense. The hvirseshoers are again out on strike, forty-five in number. The dis igreeuient which has arisen is over ie use of a label. The master horse fboers have a label and so have tbo Journeymen The journeymen insist pon having their label on all horse Shoes, while the masters or employ ers declare it is sufficient if their label is placed upon the iron fo itgear without the addition of tbat of th j ii.rneymrn. The journeymen told their employers to place both upon (he shoes, but to this the masters ob-, jeeted and a strike is the consequence. In all the strike troubles which have worried Omaha the poor freight handlers appear to be getting tho worst ol it. They walked out purely out of sympathy with the teamsters nnd now no one is paying any atten-' lion to them. Their places have been readily rilled by tho railroads and the men are now suffering from lack of employment. Indeed the, term"hlackllsled", is being used by, them in their conversations regard ing their coudit'on. ; As to the restaurant and laundry workers, they assert their determina tion to hold out for their original demands. The laundry workers appear undisturbed by the desertion of the ttfteen girls this morning and say they are fortifying their position ind will he able to maintain a better front. They have arranged; to open a large "counting "room arj 1522 Capitol avenue, where tbey wlU receive work that will bo sent to laundries at Plattsmouth and Fre mont, run on the co-operative plan. The laundry workers havo arranged to run these two establishments from 5 in the afternoon until 7 in (the morning. The Garrett laundry here, which signed tbe scale, is tplai.nlng to keep three shifts at (work and run night and day. I The steam laundries that opened this morning have sent out a few wagons, but made no effort to send out all of them. LET DOWN BARS TO MINERS Milwaukee. Wis.

The author tells how we can get our "doggy" experience withoul losing any of our pets. The Scribuera announce the early publication of Josephine Daskam'e new book, the very title of which Is bound to provoke the liveliest antici pation in all who are familiar with her -work. It is entitled "Middle-Aged Love Stories." The name of Anna Katherine Green is known wherever the lover of de tective stories reads his favorite lit erature. Her latest novel, bearing the mysterious title of "The Filigree Ball," has just been published by the Boob Merrill Company. "Katherine Frenchan" will be the name of the new book by Beatrice Harraden, author of "Ships That Pass in the Night," to be issued shortly by Dodd, Mead & Co. This Is the first book from the author's pen since tbe publication of "The Fowler." Mrs. Margaret Deland sails for Eu rope in a few weeks, but not before she has put the finishing touches to hei new volume of "Chester Tales," which, on its completion as a serial in Har per's Magazine, will be brought out In book form with approprite illustra tions In time for Christmas.

The hook will be illustrated by Peter Newell." A very brilliant and interesting se ries of letters by Wilbur J. Chamber lin, who until his death was a corre spondent on the New York Sun, will soon be published under the title of "Ordered to China." Mr. Chamberlin was sent to China as a correspondent at the time of the "Boxer" troubles there, and went to Pekin with the al lied armies. "The Moral System of Shakespeare," by Richard G. Moulton, is a popular illustration of fiction as the experi mental side of philosophy. The author, whose name is already known as the editor of "The Modern Reader's Bi ble," holds that the plays of Shakes peare have an interest analogous to that of experiments in physical science and that the theater and the novel are the laboratory of the moralist, in which are given practical demonstra tions in human philosophy. Thomas Kelson Page's forthcoming novel, "Gordon Keith," which will be published by Charles Scribuer's Sons, will make a book of over 500 pages. The period of action extends from the close of the civil war well into the twentieth century, and its principal scenes are laid in New York City, although occa sionally the render is taken to Vir ginia. The heroine is a New York so ciety girl, while the hero is a Southern er of the new type which arose from the old aristocracy after the war. It is announced in New York that Harper & Brothers have acquired the publishing nnd syndicate business of R. It. Russell and that Mr. Russell is to become associated with that house. Mr. Russell says that his publishing business is to go to Harper & Broth ers and his syndicate business to a company which Colonel Harvey is about to form. Thus the Harpers ob tain exclusive rights to the literary product of George Ade, F. P. Dunne and other young men, and the publi cation of the books of Charles Dana Gibson. She Had Her Winn. A little girl who had noticed on vart ous houses about the city the cards by which the board of health announces the presentee of contagious disease, asked her mother what they meant. Her mother explained, and the child snld, regretfully, "We nener have any thing like that on our house." "You would not want It, would youf said the mother. "Yes, I would!" replied the little glrL decidedly. Some weeks afterward the little girl was taken sick with chicken-pox, but was not confined to her bed. On Sun day morniru? the mother noticed tbat people passing on their way to church turned to gnze nt the house and always went away laughing, Her curiosity waa aroused, and she went to the front par lor to InvoMlgiite. In each of the front windows was n large placard made evidently, by the little daughter from the side of a pasteboard box. On tba cardo she had printed: 1 HAVE GOT . CHICK BN-POX BAD.
