-are arranged a spacious cabinet room ,
ji suite of rooms for the President , of
fices for his secretary , and for one of
the assistant secretaries , a telegraph-

BREAKFAST IN PERSIA.
It Is a Very Simple Meal Eren Ajnoni
Those , of the Wealthy Clasa.
Persians took on fruit as a staple food
and the ordinary meal of the workinj
classes and. peasantry is a loaf of breac
and a pound or two of grapes or apri
cots. The author of "In tlie Land 01
the Lion and Sun" says that meat is
seldom eaten by the poor. He describe *
some of the favorite foods of the coun
try.
try."Mast"
"Mast" is much consumed. This ii
curdled milk , and is made by adding i
little curdled milk to fresh milk warm
ed. It is then left to cool , and the basil
of curdled milk sets in a few hours
leaving the cream on the top. For th <
first twenty-four hours this is sweet aiu
delicious , but as'a rule the Persian doe
not care for it until it has becom <
slightly acid. When in this state abou
half a pint added to a quart of wate :
forms buttermilk , or "doogh. " A littl <
cut mint is added , and a few lumps ol
ice , and a cooling drink is made. It ii
without question a capital thirst-quen
cher in hot weather.
Cheese , too , is much eaten for tlu
morning meal , with a little mint or s
few onions. The banker at Shirax , t <
whom the government moneys wtre en
trusted , a rich man , told me that he 01
any other merchant" never thought ol
any more elaborate breakfast thai
these named above.
It Is told of a merchant in Ispahan
where they are notoriously stingy , thai
he purchased a small piece of chees <
at the New Year , but could not mak <
up his mind 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 t
clear glass bottle , and sealing the bet
tie , told the boy to rub his bread 01
the bottle and imagine the taste of tlu
cheese. This the pair did each mom
Ing.
Ing.One
One day the merchant was invited tc
breakfast with a friend. He gave his
clerk the key to his office , and a half
penny to buy a loaf of bread ; but tin
boy returned , saying he could not ge
the door open , and although he hat1
bought his bread , could not eat it with
out tlie usual flavor of the cheese.
"Go , fool , " said the merchant , "anc1
rub your bread on the door ! It is al
most as satisfying as the bottle. "
HIS MOTHER'S SMILE.
Influence of little Acts May Kndnre
for Years.
Gen. Wager Swagne , who died re
cently , had a motlier of exception * ! ]
character , of which her son was ten
derly appreciative. One of his pleasant
recollections of her was connected with
a young clerk in a bookstore at Colum
bus , Ohio. The youth was poor , ambi
tious and of a retiring disposition. His
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 ant
a friendly word.
Years after , when Gen. Swayne , as
commissioner of tlu ? Freedinen's Bur
eau , was puzzling over the management
of half a million former slaves in Ala
bama , he found Secretary of AVar JOd-
\vm M. Stantou a staunch supporter.
The secretary was the stemest of all
heads of departments , yet to the general
he was always kind. He was , said
report , "unapproachable1 ; yet Gen.
Swayne could always approach him.
One day Secretary Stunton drove to
the AVar Department in haste , on his
way to an importa'ut meeting with tap
President. He sent a messenger into
the building , to inquire if any one Avore
Avaiting to see him.
"Gen. Swayne is Avaiting , sir , " Avas
the messenger's report.
The secretary left his carriage and
hurried into the building. The two men
had a little business talk , and then Gen.
Swayne at last gave Avay to irrepress
ible curiosity
"Mr. Secretary , " said he , "I don't
understand your great kindness to me.
[ have never understood it. You have
shown me such unusual favor that I
want to ask Avhy you have done it. "
"Gen. Swayne , " said tlie secretary ,
"when I was a poor , struggling , lonely
clerk in Columbus , studying laAV at
uight and Avorkiug by day , your
mother's kindly smile and her encour
aging words put heart and hope into
me. I kneAV about her Avork among the
colored people of Columbus , and 1 Avas
aAA-are of h r interest in the ex-slaves.
Now do you understand ? I remember
vour mother's smile. "
A Narrow Escape.
An amusing Avedding incident oc
curred recently in a country village.
The bride , evidently anxious at the
near approach of the ceremony hour ,
sent the bridesmaids ( one of whom
was the young man's sister ) on to
aAvait her at the church. This action
aearly lost her her husband. AVhen
the bridesmaids reached the church
they observed the punctual bride
groom patiently AA'aiting at the chan
cel steps.The lonely misery of his
position touched their hearts , and In
stead of Avaiting in the porch for the
heroine of the day , they good-natured-
iy walked down the aisle and stood
beside him in silent sympathy. Where-
apon the organist opened the proceed
ings , the clergyman began the ser-
rice , and the bridegroom was nearly
inited in matrimony to his own sister
before any one had the presence of
nind to utter a word of warning. The
momentous question , "Wilt thou have
: his woman ? " had been reached , when
he bride opportunely appeared , and ,
ifter explanations and apologies , the
: eremony was begun again.
A man la young a great deal longer
fcan he Is old , but it doesn't seem BQ
bug.
Too maaj quarrels are picked before
Jiey are ripe.

mtnt In Omaha
Omaha , ITeb. , May 19. Unionism
does not possess allurements forquito
a number of the laundry workers ,
notwithstanding the strike benefits , '
because when the shops opened up
Tuesday morning about one-half of
the usual forces returned to work ,
this estimate is placed upon thd
number by the employers , but tha
febrikers assert that only a few of the
unionists broke faith and returned to
their labor.t Certain it is , however ,
thab every laundry in the city which
has been closed by the strike , wag
opened and doing business today as
though'no strike was in progress.
, The break in Union ranks tmi
not , however , been confined only to
tne laundries. The teamsters' union
officials admit thab twelve of their
men have deserted and have goiia
back to work. Tbe employers placq
the number at forty. Not only tha
return of these men , bub the action
of thp teamsters' union in announcing
its willingness to withdraw two ob
jectionable features of the proposed
Bcale contract gives rise to hopes
among the business men and strikers ,
thab labor difliculbies in Omaha are
hear an end.
The teamsters' union is looked
upon as tlie 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
fetands by its offer to withdraw the
two clauses relating to boycotts and
sympathetic strikes , it is anticipated
that but little difficulty will be en-
pountered in bringing about a settle
ment of all of Omaha's labr : ) dis-
pgreements. Once the teamsters'
Strike is endedrhe others will quick
ly subside , as but slight cause exists
for maintaining them.
! Ihe question of payment of the
special deputies -employed by the
Bberiff caused a meeting to be held
today , of the county commissioners
and members of the city council , ,
should each pay half of bhe expense.
The h-jrseshoers are again oub on
strike , forty-five in number. The dis-
igreeraent which has arisen is over
Xie use of a label. The master horse-
sheers have a label and so have the
journeymen. The journeymen insist
upon 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 footgear
without the addition of thab of th
ioi.rneymcn. The journeymen told
.heir employers to place both upon
.he shoesbut to this the masters ob
jected and a strike is the consequence. .
In all the strike troubles which
lave worried Omaha the poorfreight
laudlers appear to be getting the
worst ol it. They walked out purely
out of sympathy with the teamsters
and now no one is paying any atten-
jon to them. Their places have
jeen readily filled by the railroads
ind the men are now suffering from1
ack of employment. Indeed the ,
term < { blacklisted" , is being used by
them in their conversations regard- :
ng their condition. ;
As to the restaurant and laundrr
workers , they assert their determination - '
tion bo hold out for their original
demands. The laundry workers
appear undisturbed by the desertion.
ot" the fifteen girls this morning and
'
say they are fortifying their position'
and will be able to maintain a
letter front. > They have arranged !
to open a large "counting "room at' '
1522 Capitol avenue , where they will1
receive work that will be sent to
aundries at Plattsmouth and Fre-
nont1 , run on the co-operative plan. .
The laundry workers have arranged ,
; o run these two establishments
'rom ' 5 in the afternoon until 7 in
the morning. The Garretb laundry
acre , which signed the scale , is
planning to keep three shifts at'
work and run pight and day.
The steam laundries that opened
this morning have sent oub a few
vagons , but made no effort to send
oub all of them.

and that the theater and the novel are
the laboratory of the moralist , in

tions in human philosophy.
