I •— — ITour tin mine pays a dividend out of the pyrites it sells to the arsenic mer chants: yoar egg farmer deali whole sals m ice cream m order that he may find some use for the undersized or broken eggs he cannot sell to London dealers; the gas company exist* by what it makes out of such by-prpducti as Bulphate of ammonia and co*i tar; corporations of great cities get their elpctric light for nothing by the burn ing of the sweepings of tbe streets. It has become recognised that, under the conditions now prevailing^ the reaper must also be the cleaner if he would touch a profit and keep cl«ar of bankruptcy.—- -Morning Post.

A Romance of the Harem.

.*- In the course of a lecture at St George's Hall, Langham Place, London, Mr John Foster Fraser told a rema? kable story of how two London Girls spent a couple of years m a Persian harem. When the late £h»h Nasr-i-diu iaot visited England, one of his write, an elderly wealthy Persian nobleman, fell m love with and married a girl who sold nicknacks tt the Crystal Pslace. For two years they lived at Hyde Paik Mansions, until by command of the &hah the noblemen returned to Persia. The voting wife, naturally fascinated with the idea of a gorgeous eastern life await ing her, together with her sister, «et off aercß3 Europe, but the insiant they reach Persia the girls were put into th« ordinary costcme of a Persian woman, completely shrouding tb6m 9 taken <ffto Teheran, and put m the nobleman's ordinary h*reoa. The indignation oftht English girls was great, and the noble man, who was exceedingly fond of hii Erglieh wife, provided her and her sister with a separate establishment. One day the two girls, wearing Persian garb, and their faces entirely hid by i chadars, were passed by two young Englishmen, who, m a larking spirit, shouted a remark m Fnglish. To their amazement the 'Persian women' answered and finally told their story 10 their countrymen. Taa nobleman had come under the enmity of his own family by this English marriage, and because he let it be understood that ha intended to leave his wealth to hit little son by bis English wife. Ha had three other wives, one a relative of the Shah. To escape the strong ill felling shown him he made a pilgrimage to on« of the holy cities, and there he difd. When the wife returned she found that all the property had been taken by her Persian relatives. Through the efforts of the British Legation arrangements were mads that about £200 a year should b« allowed for the little son's education m England, but on the understanding that he should be reared m the Moham medan faith, and when of »ge return to Persia to inherit hie father's pro* -perty.^ So the girl returned to England, and Mr Fraser said, had recently married again—this time an Englishman.
