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."

Gen. Wugw Svvngtie, who died re

recollections of her was connected with
a young clerk in a b'x;kstore ut Colum

reticence did not tend to make him
popular among his mates, but Mrs.

Dumber of the laundry workers,
notwithstanding the strike benefits,
because when the shops opened up

the usual forces returned to work.
This estimate Is placed upon 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

the number at forty. Not only tba

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'

without the addition of tbat of th

their employers to place both upon

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

As to the restaurant and laundry
workers, they assert their determina

appear undisturbed by the desertion

"The Moral System of Shakespeare,"
by Richard G. Moulton, is a popular
illustration of fiction as the experi

whose name is already known as the
editor of "The Modern Reader's Bi

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

the old aristocracy after the war.
