safety of his treasure until now that it

another lusted for it. This one night
seemed more fraught with danger than
all the hundred nights and more that

Market.
About the winding streets of Naislia-

worse than that, all Selim's tools—lit
tie matters, some of them, but dear
almost as his fingers; worth so much to
him, so little to the cruel thief. Only
the unfinished lantern remained, and
that was defaced, as though the plun-
derer, having left it behind as worth-
less, had come back to crush it out of
shape in sheer malico.
This ruin Hashed suddenly on Selim
outof his maze, and rage llamed red in
his veins: his brain seemed to boil with
anger. He breathed unwonted male-
dictions, and drawing the knife from
his waist rushed to the largo shop

His wrath was cumbered by loiterers
who hung about him; it was cooled at
the shop by calm expostulation. Tho

Seliin understood of all this only
that his revenge was baulked, that the
world, grinning or indifl'erent, was all
against him. ilo went back and sat
for u long time in his little shop with-
out motion, almost without thought, a

interval, when he could think, ho made
out that the returned gift was his only
possession—that lie must have bread
and too's—that he had better take the
perfume-holder to the merchant who
had bid so high for it.
lie wandered out into a blurred con-
fusion of sights and sounds, and his

medium of communication in Persia of
such an all'tiir.
Tho full fi 'sli turban of wliito hand-

bility in them of excited movement.
paraphernalia.
Selim started and clutched; tho things
wore his. Tho dimness seized upon
him again in a different manner; he
felt very cold; everything seemed, not
blurred, but. very faraway. He could
not be sure if he were telling tho mer-
chant quite calmly how these tools had
been stolen from him and whom he
suspected; or if ho were standing
frozen and dumb. Suddenly
merchant's face came near him,
huge and terrifllc; two great hands
seized the perfume-holder, bore it
away into tho distance, and placed it
on a shelf with the other works like it.
Then the hot lit came again, rod rage
llamed in Selim's veins, and the nier-
chanl's servants foupht with him.
After a space he heard people, whose
laces lie knew though they wore so far
oil', tell some one in authority one after
another that the perfume-holder could
not be Selim's—that they knew all his
works, and this was not one of them—
that, only yesterday, ho had allirmcd
that ho possessed nothing of tho kind.

sometimes, to this sou of a king. The
life of the zenana did not agree w tli
her as with tho more tranquil creat-

not without hope that a wise word
might make smoother the rough places
of her young life.
At nearly nightfall the company
started that escorted her. There were
tents and servants and necessaries on
atrong baggage camels, and a score of
warlike guards—each sitting kink-like
on the tlirono that tho camel bears on
his back for man; each carrying his
weapon llko tho rod of a primeval
king, at onco mace and scopter.
Tho camel train soon reached and
passed the city gates ami journeyed by
the side of a range of hills out into the
open waste, over which hung a largo
lemon-huod moon. Tho guards chal-
lenged from time to time little kuolsof
plodders to tho city, who proved when
interrogated to be foot-weary workers
in the turquoise mines. Once, after
tho mines were left behind and the
desert track was lonely, the encounter
with a clump of men cause'd a mo-
ment's halt, and some imperious de-
mands from the head man of the es-
cort that were humbly answered. Tho
lady lay reclined in jiio of two litters
which, poised with every contrivance
for smooth convoy, were slung on each
side of a steady-footed camel; a female
slave tilling the other. When the chief
guard next approached her side he ex-
plained that the men they had passed
had borno out into tho desert tho body
of a man who had died raving mad in
the prison, and that, having stripped
him, they were returning to tho city
with his wretched spoils.
After that tho journey was unevent-
ful; at daybreak they encamped, to re-
sumo their pilgrimage when tho cool-
ness of night came. Towards the
close of the second night's traveling
they eamo to hills and an end of sand,
and found the village where tho astrol-
oger lived.
After messages and letters to and fro
between tho lady and tho sago a visit
was arranged, and tho languid wife
with tho wistful eyes sought tho pres-
ence of the learned man. Tho houso
he dwelt in was undistinguished on its
outside, but tho room where he re-
ceived his guests were rich with color.
The timepiece and tho line, and level
were of rare workmanship, and tho
strangely fashioned and incised astro-
labe of gilded brass was a treasure
many centuries old. Tho sage himself,
a dignified figure in a country where a
beggar is not without dignity, was a
inau of the most striking presence; aud
the tall dark cap, and simple flowing
robe of tho finest material, that be
wore enhanced his look of almost un-
earthly improssivono.-s. Ho was one
of thoso men who make one under-
stand how tho saying rose that, only
Persians should be allowed to wear
beards.
Tho poor lady took comfort from his
suave and wise appearance, and told
him not only the details ho desired for
the exercise of his science, but some-
thing of tho emptiness and hunger of
her heart. lie was a man richly learn-
ed in tho deep sayings of the poets and
philosophers of Iran and all tho east,
anil whilst preparing t ho scheme which,
with tho observation of tho stars,
should yield a divine answer to her dis-
tressed petition, ho soothed tho imme-
diate pain of her heart with thought-
ful phrases that men have hoarded up
for comfort, drawing on an acquaint-
ance that ranged from the sayings of
tho great. King Solomon to those of tho
tent maker and star-gazer whoso grave
was in the city of lior birth.
At her departing ho promised that
lio results of his night's studies should
reach her on the following day. That
night she, too, waked, and wondering,
watched the brilliant stars; keepers of
how many heart secrets, revealors of
how l'ew. Not vot of this—that 0110
faithful one had ever called her the
Star of his Heart.
Next day, wrapped in scented silk,
came tho sage's missive:
To tlio honorable Iwly, tho wit'o o£ Thc-Shadow-of-
tlit'-Sultan'h-lIatiil:
NOHI.I: I,M>Y : —
hi tin- name of Allah, tin* Moiviful, tho Victorious.
Tho stars. <> Luily. Mprak Truth, hut Dot always

"A.l-'LIOIIT or lil.Al K IJlltDM."
O Lady, may it be yours to interpret them to
your comfort. And the peare oC Allah may be
yours is the devout prayer of the uuworthiest of
his and of your servants: I*vi:n Hassan ok thk
(lor.t)KS Asiuoi.aiji:.
Taking these words with her, she set
out pondering on her return journey;
and before the journey was ended the
meaning of the answer of tho stars was
made clear to her.
it was that silent chill time of night
immediately preceding sunrise; the,
mysterious hour til which old men and
old women, each on their appointed
day, l'eel their heart-beats llulter into
stillness,and breathing 1 licit* latest sigh
unheard, slip into death; the faithful
one who had watched until that hour,
having nodded into Death's likeness.
'I'lic camel train paced slowly along
through the cold air; the dust that rose
as each foot struck the sand falling
gain heavily as if the chill night air
pressed it down.
To tlio right, and to the left undu-
lating forms against the sky indicated
hills; above those on the left the sun
would rise presently. The watchful
eves of the armed guard turned to look
for hitn from time to time, liight
iliead, on the line where tho gray sky
met the deeper gray of tho desert, a
little unovetiness showed Naishapur.
As the sun's tiiti rose above tho lino
of the hills, startled by that, or by the
approach of the advanced guard of tho
camel train, a great tlight of birds rose
from some object oil the sand. The
lady was roused from uneasy sleep by
the'rattle of their wings, aud, looking
out from her litter sho saw them lloat
away, black and ominous as they
crossed that part of tho sky that tho
sun had already made bright.
liaek to her mind eamo the words
that the wise man had read in the
stars:
"A Might of Black Birds."
By waving her hand from the litter
sho attracted the attention of one of
the guards, and gave orders that she
should bo at once taken to tho spot
whence tho birds had risen. Not with-
out remonstrance he obeyed her, for
the hot hours of morning would be
quickly upon them.
Tho" procession moved toward the
indicated place, and by the time it was
reached the sun was above the h■ lis,
aud the whole visible world was dis-
tinct and brilliant.
"Now Allah upon it, O, fairest
lady, it is but the bones of a inau,"
said ttie chief of the escort; "one lost
or cad out in the desert, and other
than tho birds have spoiled him, for he
has neither coin nor weapon."
"In the name of Allah, the lucrelful,
dismount some of you men aud see if
there be anything about him by which
he may bo Vuowu,"
Unwillingly, aud muttering ciursoson
the delay, two or three swung them
selves down from their camels and
moved the bones about in thod^.st with
their feet and the butt ends' of their
lone muskets.
"Nothing, nothing, fair lady," said
th chief, and climbing again upon his
camel set that and the rest in motion.
A fow minutes later one guard who
had lingered brought his camel along-
side of tho litter, and without speaking
handed a tiny white and yellow thiug
to the lady.
t was tfie clean picked bono of the
sccond joint of a man's little linger;
tightly twisted round it was a shred of
brass, that bore stamped at irregular
in crvals along its two edges the im-
press of a whorl pattern.
Sho hold it in the hollow of lior hand
a ew moments, and then, in a moment,
re ollection came swooping upon her
of the day she had riveted it on Selim's
linger—of his constant looking for her
—of the tender love in his brave, skill-
ful oyes. Aud to this ho had come.
Then she remembered tho little pat-
tern and the die, and looked close to
recognizo its impress on tho shred ol
brass. And ho had said that tool
should never bo used again but for a
gift to her. Poor Solim, poor deud
Selim, whose bones were scattered if.
the desert dust, all but this one—tiii-,
little linger bono round which beauty
had toiled to frame a ring long ago; on
whoso dry whiteness beauty now shed
tears, pressed tender kisses before she
laid it in her bosom to rock there to its
rest.
Tho morning was already burning
hot when tjiey attained the city. The
sky was of a full blue, and right across
it straggled a procession of fine combed
wliito clouds; apart like a party of
travelers all moving tho same way, and
all too angrily parched to endure each
other's near company. Tho Star of
Selim's Heart was conveyed to the
shelter and coolness of her own apart-
ment. There, after she had bathed
and rested, was presented to her a gift
that her lord The-Shadow-of-the-Sui-
tau's-lianil had purchased to await her
return. Two little girls, slaves of tho
zenana, brought it. to her wrapped in
silk, as she lay on her dvian. Careless-
ly she undid tho first wrappings, and
then paused, seeing it was a noble
>iece of such work as tho onco only
oving, and now beloved, Solim had
spent his lifetime perfecting. With
careful and tender interest she un-
wrapped it. It was a gift, and ho had
promised her such a gift, but ho, alas!
uul boon poor; in his littlo shop was
work as fine, indeed, but liosucn state-
ly pioeo as this great perfume-holder,
lie was so poor that perhaps he had
i ot beon able to snatch from tho earn-
ings of his daily bread time enough to
begin some little toy for her. Sho set
it on t ho rich-colored cushion beside
lior, aud the tears rose in her eyes as
sho looked at it. Seen through them,
tho gold-colored mass seemed for a
moment wavering, gigantic and indis-
tinct.
As tho tears fell she wiped them
away, and, seeing clearly, discerned in
the brass vessel something that made
her soize it, examine it nearly, and
press it closo to her bosom, her long
dark hair falling over it tho while.
There, there and there again, bounding
every fillet of ornament that encircled
it, was the little whorl pattern from the
dio she herself had been the first to
use. Selim's gift indeed, though brought
to her by other hands; and all the
passionate ver.-es of love carved about
it. wore messages speaking with tho
voice of lior dead lover.
That evening from tho spot where
tho camel train had halted whilst tho
suu rose, he might have been seen sink-
ing behind western peaks. As lie dis-
appeared up sprang the usual fresh
breeze, but that night, it rose to un-
wonted violence aud cast heavy hand-
fills of sand over a dead man's bones,
hiding tlieni forever in the desert dust.
The wind Happed about tho city, and
as a light breeze it entered tho clois-
tered zenana of a prince's palaeo. In
one room that it. attained to it express-
ed from a brass perfume-burner such
wreaths of rich perfume as sweeten the
obsequies of kings.
In tlio dimness a dreamy-eyed woman
watched and inhaled them, tho hand
on her breast touching a silken case
wherein lay a little bono and a scrap
of hammered brass.

THE SALVATION ARMY.
L.:arn to Graft.
Evory farmer should himself under-
stand grafting, and bo able practically
to do it. The art is simple and easily
learned. It may not always pay tho
farmer to do all the large jobs of graft-
ing that lio has to do, since his own
time may bo worth more at something
else. Hilt it. is the little jobs, the set-
ting of half a dozen grafts not worth
sending for a professional grafter to
do, that thus aro neglected from year
to year, simply because no one is at
haiid qualified to do the work. Pro- i
fcssional arafters make good wages i
setting grafts at so much apiece. Most
of them have an assistant who saws oil'
tho limb to ho grafted, while tho grafter
fits the scion to the cleft which ho
makes and covers the wound to ex-
clude air. This and connecting tho
scion with the outer wood of the branch
is all the art there is in grafting.
Its Strength In the Northwest and
In the World.
Major Whatmore, the new command-
er of the Salvation Arm;', is planning
many campaigns, which probably cover
tho religious soldiers with glory from
a Salvation Army point of view. The
Major's division, says tho Minneapolis
Tribune, includes Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and the city of Chicago, and in-
cludes twenty-eight corps, six of which
aro • in Chicago. Tho Minneapolis
corps is nearly three years old, com-
manded by Captain McAbor, and is
said to bo one of the bast in tho United
States. Concerning the army and tho
prospects of his division, tlio Major said
us follows:
Tho army is eight years old in
America, aud is made up of 2.H) corps.
There are thousands of people reached
by tho tinny who aro not reached by
other methods of Christian endeavor.
Tho principal object of wearing uni-
form.- is not to signify organization,
but many more opportunities are pre-
sented to talk to people concerning re-
ligious matters, as every one knows a
soldier by the uniform and expects to
be approached upon questions of re-
ligion. Numerous cases can be cited
wherj people have joined in the pro-
cesssioti, attracted by tho drum and
life, aud when the barracks were
reached were converted. U'c desire to
reach the people who do «c<. at to ad
any kind of worship, and we have to
adopt methods accordingly and the rea-
son wo are misunderstood is that peo-
ple look too much at our methods,
rather than the end we have in view.
Thousands of people attend our meet-
ing's who never entered a church, and
hundreds of them have heeu converted.
From 21),000 to 1(0,000 War Crys are is-
sued weekly, and opportunities aro
given ill soiling these for the soldiers
to invito people to our meetings. Our
methods aro the result of years of ex-
perience, and they have beon changed
as the best interests of religion de-
manded. We not only convert people,
but make it a point to seo they remain
ood soldiers for life.
I,find it a general belief that mem-
bers of the army recievo a salary, but
tlie.v do not; instead, they are ex-
pected to give all they can toward de-
fraying expenses. The ollicers consist
of lieutenants, captains and cadets. A
number of corps constitute a district
command by an adjutant, and a num-
ber of districts constitute a division
commanded by a major. As you know,
our system is military. All American
divisions are controlled by tho National
head masters in New York. At pres-
ent Marshal Booth commands the
American forces. Ilo recieves as a
salary simply the necessities. A major,
married, gets :?!) per week; captain. i?7;
lieutenant, tjfi; cadet, board. Each
officer, on receiving his commission,
agrees not to accept anything except
his specified sa ry. Each crops is
self-supporting, surviving entirely up-
on the money received by collections
at the meetings. Tho headquarters in
Now York are kept up by the sale of
publications and donations from inde-
pendent sources.
There are 7,000 officers in command
in tho world. The War Cry is printed
in 2;J different languages and our flag
tloats in 23 different countries. The
international headquarters are in Lon-
don, Eng. The army has houses for
fallen women, prison gato brigades aud
food and shelter for tho destitute, and
the Australian Government gives $r>.--
000 a year to aid in keeping up these
institutions. Tho armyha3 been under
its present nn 1110 for 11 years; it was
previously known as the Christain
mission, ft is the strongest and oldest
in Great Britain, and is very strong in
all Europe except ltussia.
Everywhere in tho Northwest I have
found the work progressing finely. At
St. Peter and Anoka the opera-houses
were crowded when I was there, as was

Stoc!-: Growing.
There is no denying the fact that
stock growing is the groat feature
sttcees-ful agriculture. America is
rapidly becoming a stock growing
country, and one of our foreign ex-
changes aptl.y says; "There is no
blinking the fact—nor any disposition
to—that the United States contains an
enormous wealth of tho best grading-
up material in the world. Sho has at
0110 time or another taken away much
of the richest of British blood—ill
horse(t, cattle, sheep and pigs—yet she
has a great deal of work remaining to
be done before her pastures and pad-
docks ate fully stocked with really
good, profitable stock."
A Sleeper.
Some railroad man has given to the
world what he knows on this subject
in the following:—"A sleeper is one
who sleeps. A sleeper is that in which
the sleeper sleeps. A sleeper is that
on which the sleeper runs while the
sleeper sleeps. Therefore, wliilo the
sleeper sleeps in the sleeper the sleeper
carries the sleeper over tlio sleeper un-
der the sleeper until the sleeper which
carries the sleeper jumps the sleeper
and wakes the sleeper in tho sleeper
by striking tho sleeper under the
sleeper, ou the sleeper, and there is no
longer any sleeper sleeping iu the
sleeper on the sleaper.
How Milk Should Ho Kept.
Consumers of milk itro too often in-
different to their ways of keeping' milk
after it reaches them. When it is de-
livered in cans it is a common custom
of many people to draw from tho same
as they need it. and possibly a can may
not bo emptied until a fresh supply is
rcceivod. As soon as tho milk is
brought it should be poured into a glass
or earthenware pi teller, and when this
is emptied it. should bo made absolute-
ly cleaned then well aired. Those who
! havo young children dependent upon
i milk food ought to receive a fresh sup
ply of milk both morning and night,
otherwise in tho warm months it is ex-
tremely liable to become un wholesome.
With but few in cities is this possible,
and therefore, in summer it will be
well to scald the supply when received,
to prevent its becoming sour.
