LESAL AND BETA-Ili A PERSECUTgD SECT 4WYEN OUT BY THEPRESENT SHAH. The Rise. and Fajl tot ilfab, ihe Mohatn-medAD Reformer HU Brave Though Untimely Death The Beba, Wboli an le frem p(s tive Ind. Professor Browne, lecturer in Persian at the 5 University' of Cambridge, has written a curious book, entitled "The Episode of the Bab." Probably a few people know who the Bab is, bnt Mr. Browne's researches are certain to awaken interest in the man who was the arch heretic of Persia in the early part of the reign of the present shah.

He died a violent death at the hands of the government when it was learned that the heresy that he preached threatened the peace of the national church. His followers live and are faithful to his memory and teachings. Their leaders are in exile, and Professor Browne's book tells of his extraordinary exertions to see them and get their story from their own lips. They are scattered far and wide. Some of them are in Cyprus; others are in Palestine, safe from the vengeance of the shah.

All of them would expect to lose their heads if they showed themselves in Persia. Only the hnmblo followers of the Bab live unmolested in their own country, holding their meetings secretly for fear of the persecution of the angry Mollahs. The Bab "was a Mohammedan reformer, who went to Mecca and came back with a new commentary on the Koran. He spoke of himself as superior to Mohammed and to all other great religious reformers, but he announced that a greater than he was coming. That greater one is Beha, who lives in an earthly jaradise called Behje, near Tyrt, where Professor Browne found him.

The author says he feels quite mi-equal to the task of conveying a vivid irnpj ession of the faces and forms that surrounded him during his visit to this strange retreat. He almost runs short of uljectivcs when he describes the wondrcr.s arid venerable' figure of the holy man. He says he beheld a face which he will never forget, although he cannot describe it. The piercing eyes seemed to read his very soul. "No need to ask in whose presence I stood as 1 bowed myself before one who is the object of a devotion and love which kmgs might envy and emperors sigh for in vain." Beha's preaching is a prophecy of the "most great peace" and of the brotherhood and unity of man.

The brotherhood of the entire race is coming, he predicts. Prof. Browne says Beha knows the exact position of European affairs and is sorry for the "western nations. He sees kings and rulers lavishing their treasures in the purchase of means of destruction instead of procuring the means of happiness. Meekness, concord, submission are the essentials of his secret in the perfect way.

He is loved and revered by all his followers wherever they may be, and many a message from him is read in the secret meetings in Persia of the humble followers of the Bab. The Bab was not learned in the law like the great doctors of the church, and for that reason they held him in contempt. It was his habit to dispute with them in the temples, and although he was ignorant his wisdom put their knowledge to shame. They said he proved himself an impostor because he talked bad grammar. He showed them that his grammar was the grammar of the Koran, and asked them if it was not better to be wrong with the prophet than right with the rest of the world.

Whenever he became too troublesome they beat him with rods. At last they had him shot. A company of infantry was drawn up, and the Bab and one of his followers were placed before it as targets. The first discharge killed the follower, but only broke the cords that bound the prophet. He might have converted his executioners then if he had had time to make the most of tho situation.

But before he could speak the second volley was fired and the Bab died of many wounds. His followers were terribly incensed at the outrage, and tried to assassinate the hah. It is said that he fainted with terror at the sight of the conspirators, and was only saved by the timely arrival of his escort. For a time he made Persia very unsafe for the followers of the Bab. He killed their leaders, and to this day those who escaped from their native land have never dared to return.

Among the victims was 'the one Salvation of the movement, the beautiful Kurratu "l-'Ayn, who, it is said, was a miracle of learning and of every feminine charm. She was killed by slow torture, and to the very last she declared her supreme faith in the teachings of the Bab. The Mollahs who slew her came near rebelling a few months ago when their lord and master threatened to interfere with the tobacco question in Persia. They made him' tremble for his life and throne until the obnoxious measures lie proposed were rescinded. Meanwhile Beha is waiting patiently in exile, confident that the day will come when his teachings will triumph in Persia and the leaders of his faith can return to their land.

King's Cough Syrup at 25 cents per bottle is the best. It is sld oulr at BURWELL DUNN 'S blow 0( with which the dwellings and the persons of the rich are adorned one does not fmd -evidences of good it is indeed a discontaging outlook for the seeker, and yet it is in precisely in these things that the most flagrant violations of all aesthetic canons are encorraged. One has but to consider the tricks of the makers of jewelry to understand the extent to which this evil has gone. The last whim of the makers of slang is to be seen in the windows of the jeweler wrought out in precious slones. Now the art of the cunning goldsmith is devoted to the making of pigs in gold and gems, now it is some other beast equally inartistic, again it is some idiotic pun, which is enshrined in costly stones or rich enamel, and yet again the paraphernalia of the turf, the gaming table, or what not, absorbs the best skill which the modern world can show in this line.

Even worse are the coarse and vulgar designs which are to be seen in the cases of respectable jewelers of the feminine leg or foot, the snggestive and semi-indepent ornaments which appeal to the taste of certain classes, not only of men, but of women, who are apparently perfectly proper members of society. The designs of furniture and bric-a-brac are, if anything, worse. It is true that there are good -designs to fouiid but it Is no less true that the reign cf cheap vulgarity is at its triumphant height. The hard and unsympathetic execution of mechanical means which would be tolerable only when directed by the most delicate and sympathetic taste is made the more deter-table by the coarse and forced manner in Avhieb. it is used.

When the designer goes to the past to purloin a design, if ho wishes to liit the populur taste he selects smne rococo motive of the worst period, and as a rr.le it is popular in direct proportion to its worlhlessncss. When one compares the ornaments of today with those of the times of our grandfathers he may well ask whether oirr grandchildren will have as much reason to respect their heirlooms as we have to look with pride upon ours. Ii one takes the so called souvenir spoons, with which the shop windows have been filled, how many of them are even tolerable in design? It is always easier to find fault than to find out a remedy, and it is undoubtedly true that in the present case the matter is largely the result of the increase of material prosperity among those classes where neither taste nor intelligence has "had time to be developed. The markets are controlled to a great extent by the new rich, and it is not unnatural that the impress of their vulgarity should be left in a broad marK upon the arts of the time. It is no less true abroad, however, than it is in this coun try that the designers havo apparently degenerated, and the explanation given does not so well apply abroad as in this country.

No doubt the taste of the world is being educated, but the problem today is to educate the taste of the many instead of the taste of the few, and it is far more difficult than any which has ever been presented to the devotees of the aesthetic in the history of civilization before. Boston Courier. A Snap Shot at Albuquerque. We. were driven through the streets (if they may be called such) of Albuquerque.

Past the wretched mud hovels of the stooped and wrinkled Mexicans, who opened their weak eyes in indolent curiosity which scarcely tempted them to turn their heads for a further view. They seemed to have nothing to do but sun themselves in the doorways and on long board benches by the side of their mud walls. The only ones we saw engaged in any occupation were those who sat combing out their long, black hair, iv.d theso were the women kind. If there is a on the face of the cr. -th without a hint of hctoe or cheer, il is this mudbuilt town of winds and sands and flat topped roofs of Mexicans, Spaniards, Indians and cowboys.

Salt Lake Tribune. Study Your Own Case. I always insist on my patients study- ins medicine to the extent of their disease at least. Of course all pa iientLS cannot do this. But where it can be done the disease yields much more readily to treatment.

There is nothing remarkable libout this. It is reasonable that if a sick man knows something as to the nature of that portion of his anatomj which by reason of its disorder brings on disease, he can the more intelligently assist the doctor in bringing about a cure. This rule, ii observed, will materially assist in a general improvement of health. Dr. Merriman in Chicago Tribune.

Children! Play in Germany. It is a common belief at the present time in south Genu any that if children play soldiers very often in the street there is a coming, and if they play "funeral" an epidemic will come over the land and many deaths will result. The relator of this tells that, when a boy, be with others played "funeral" in front of the house of an old miser in his native town in Germany. The miser became much excited and exclaimed, "1 will not die and mado complaint to the mayor that the boys should be arrested and punished. Philadelphia Ledger.
