SCHOOL HABITS IN PERSIA.
Boys Sit on Floor and Recite Lessons
as if Chanting.
Oriental children have their mar
tles, their skipping rope and the little
toy plows into which cats and kittens
are harnessed for play. They enjoy
life fully as much as do American
children. When the boys are 10 years
old they are sent to school in the
nearest mosque. Parents will some
times take a boy to school and de
liver him over to the gentle care of
the teacher with these words: "His
bones are mine, but his flesh is yours.
Teach him and punish him as you see
fit.,,
When boys go to school they usu
ally sit in two rows. One row sits
along one wall, books in hand, and
the other row along the opposite wall.
The teacher sits in the middle of
the room. They do not use chairs,
but sit on the floor, which is cov
ered with a reed matting. When
they are studying their lessons they
sway their bodies backward and for
ward as if they were in a rocking
chair and read with a loud voice in
a singsong style as if they were chant
ing.
They have neither blackboards nor
slates, but use paper and reed lens
in learning to write. They put their
left knee on the floor and set their
right one up for a desk to rest the
paper on. They use the Arabic al
phabet and read and write from right
to left instead of from left to right.
They also begin their books at the
back, reading forward. The ability
to read a single eersian book is con
sidered in Ccntrrl Asia to be the sign
of a liberal edu ration. The attend
ance at school is voluntary, no one
being compelled to send his boys if
Le prefers to keep them at home.
THE FIRST CURTAIN CALL.
Voltaire One to Whom Original Honor
Was Paid.
At the first performance in Berlin
of Go:hart Hauptmann's "Jungfrau
von Bischofaberg" the author was re
peatedly called before the curtain,
and the incident caused inquiry as to
when and where the practice of honor
ing an author in that way originated.
The Berliner Tageblatt gives this an
swer: "The first call took place on
the evening of February 26, 1743. On
that memorable evening Voltaire's
'Merope' was performed for the first
time in Paris. The author was known
to the Paris public, but nothing that
they had seen of him had pleased
them so much as 'Merope,' and the en
thusiasm found expression in noisy
demands to see the author. In a
letter Voltaire says this of the inci
dent: 'They dragged me out and led
me by force to the box occupied by
the Duchesse de Villars and her
daughter-in-law. The whole theater
seemed to have gone mad-all shout
ed to the duchesse to kiss me. The
noise became so great that the lady
finally obeyed. So I was like Alain
Chartier, publicly kissed, but he was
asleep, while I was wide awake.' Now
authors answer similar calls by ap
pearing before the curtain. They gain
insofar that they can be seen better
by their audience, but they must dis
pense with the duchess' kiss-at least
In public."
"Graveyard CocktaiL.
Some curious drinks that men call
for in saloons, says the Philadelphia
Record, were observed the other day
by a mas who stood at the end of the
bar and took is everything that hap
pened. The usual whiskies and beers
were frequent, but he also noticed
that a lumber of men asked for egg
in milk and egg in sherry. "You sell
a lot of 'eggs here," he observed to
the bartender. "You bet we do," an
swered the man behind. "Hundreds
al men drink egg drinks only. There
are several men who come in here
that order egg in beer. How they
get away with that awful mess I
can't understand, but they drink it
down as though they liked it. One
man that comes in here has them all
skinned. He always takes the most
outlandish mixtures of stout and milk.
He's the limit for a crazy drinker,
and heads my list of curious boose
artists. We call his drink the 'grave
ysrd cocktalL'"
Use Compressed Air.
Compressed air is now used in the
large iron foundry at the Schenectady
works of the General Electric com
pany for almost every operation con
nected with the making of a Snished
casting. Although the machinery in
the other adjacent shops is operated
entirely by electricity, in the iroa
foundry, where the operations are
scattered sad intermittent, com
pressed air was fouad to be advan
tageous for small powe services. The
air is supplied at is pounds pressare
by a number of electric motor-drives
empressbrs el diterest capacities.
No Danger.
"Area't you afraid that dog w81

"Not a bit. Ue's bitten-several ai
ready and it didn't seem to hurt him
