PERSIAN REVOLT. RATIONALISTS CAPTURE TEHERAN. The Persian Nationalist forces entered "Teheran on Tuesday and took possession of the Mtg er part of the city. The action of the Nationalists has probably Jbeen hastened by the Russian intervention at Tabriz and Meshed, but their particular griev- ance is the Shah's violation of his pledges to Jfespeet the Constitution granted by his father. After the Russian occupation of Tabriz last May the British and Russian Governments Jjfeesscd on the Shah the necessity of reviving She Constitution and convoking Parliament. He Agreed to form a Liberal Cabinet, and to con- fjd, to it the preparation of a new electoral larv. ;othing, however, was done. The threat of the Nationalists to march on "the capital was not at first regarded as serious. A fortnight ago, however, it was realised that were in earnest, and the British and Rus- Legations intervened on the Shah's behalf. 'The terms demanded by the revolutionists were .^declared to be inadmissible by the Powers. Negotiations were broken off, and Russian itrool)s were ordered to the Persian capital. The Jtersians, however, reached there first. Street fighting was in progress most of the -4ay. The Shah himself wae in danger of cap- ture, and was expected to lake refuge at one of the foreign Legations. ct, The northern part of the city is entirely in the sf&nds of the Nationalists, who, with their |>ati ols, are keeping excellent order.

^OTHER'S BRUTAL PUNISHMENT. The terrible castigaticn of a nine-year-old ,60y was described at Clerkenwell (London) .Police-court on Tuesday, when Mrs. Cecelia Stevenson, the wife of a clerk, was sentenced to ••^htee months' imprisonment for cruelly beating "Jlltr son Arthur, and Mrs. Alford, a neighbour, ,.as sentenced to two months for assisting her. The child had killed a bird belonging to Mrs. ..Alford-accide ut ally, he said—and his mother, .no was said to have been under the influence ,.A)f drink, took his clothes down and gave him iortystrokes with a cane, while Mrs. Alford "Id his head. Neighbours heard the boy screaming, and .«8&lled the police in. An inspector of the jSfational Society for the Prevention of Cruelty ■do Children said he had previously warned the parents about beating the boy. He doesn't look a yery unruly boy, this little ,AOn of yours," said Mr. d'Eyncourt. "I assure ^o« Iiie is, sir," his father "replied. The magistrate himself viewed the marks on -4he boy's body, and described the caning as a brutal puninhment."

■« COAL STRIKE RIOTS. PIT LADS' "SNAPPING TIME." Serious rioting took place throughout the North Staffordshire coallields on Thursday in connection with the dispute over the operation of the Eight Hours Act. There are several points at issue between tHe colliery owners and the miners, but the cause of the present trouble is the question of the "snapping or meal time. The employers agree that adult miners should have fiitcen mint--s' interval for "snapping" time, at the same time arranging that the pits shall be k-r,t in full running order throughout the day. Under this arrangement the pit lads cannot have stopping time ior meals, and they, objecting to this arrangement, have gone from colliery to colliery endeavouring to cause a general stoppage till their demands for "snap- pin" time has been granted. Five hundred pit boys marched to Sladder Hill Colliery, stopping the winding and doing considerable damage. At Burley Colliery they succeeded in fetching men out, and also stopped work at Silverdale. Here an encounter took place between the mob and the police and stones were thrown, an inspector being injured. Several arrets were made. At Blackhall a manager who attempted to disperse the crowd with a pa was deprived of it and had it turned against himself, while he was elided with sticks and stones. I Masters down furnaces, and thousands of pounds will be lost in wages as a result of the dii« rcLrs. Several defendants were bound over at Tun- stall. The manager of th'i Chatterlev Whit- field Collieries stated that he was obliged to fire blank cartr deres at the crowd. Much datcago has been done by strikers in some district- ;nSm:th Y^rVshire/ where there are over 15.000 men now idle. The Scotti.h eoMmnstors in Glasgow agreed on Friday to post hosiers intimating a reduc- tion of wages to that effect, from July 25. All the North Staffordshire collieries were closed on Saturday, with the result that between twenty and thirty thousand men are thrown out of employment". Several ironworks are also shut down, and if the pits remain idle for many days all the ironworks and potteries will be brought to a standstill. The coal masters are firm in their attitude not to allow more than fifteen minutes' snap time. The mob of pit lads and men has dispersed. A conference was held between the coal owners and the miners' representatives on Monday. It was afterwards announced that an agreement had been come to subject to confirmation by the Miners' Federation. The points of agreement are (1) To grant twenty minutes as the official meol time (2) at pits working on Saturday winding to cease, and the men to ceme up as before the Act, the men to be paid only for tifinre worked; (3) no further concessions to be made respecting Rjunday time; these arrangements to come up for adjustment on the 30th inst. If the ) miners accept the proposals the pits are to recommence forthwith. I Already, it is computed, fully 30,000 col- liers and iron workers are without employ- ment as the result of the dispute. SERIOUS POSITION TN SCOTLAND. The Scottish Miners' Federation, at a con- ference in Glasgow on Monday approved of the attitude of the miners' executive in the present crisis. The Scottish miners are urg- ing thatoa ballot should be immediately taken of the miners all over Great Britain, an that the workmen should be Urged to vote in favour of a general stoppage at the earliest possible moment. It has been reported to the Scottish Miners' Federation that a considerable number of colliery owners have decided not to enforce the proposed reduction. On the other hand, it is stated that practical unanimity con- tinues among the coal tnineru in Scotland.

A TERRIBLE ORDEAL. The story of a tragedy was unfolded at Aah- ford, Middlesex, on Saturday, when a jury de- livered a verdict on the body of Bernard Broeas, 19. From the evidence it appeared that Mr. Brocas had caught his foot in the check rail* of a level crossing between Staines and Ashford, and had been firmly held there until a train, j which, owing to the straightnees of the line at that part, he must have seen approaching when yet two miles away, bad cut him down. The jury returned' a vterdict that "Death- was due to being knocked dowii by a train, that the accident was caused by the deceased getting his foot in the check-rail, that che#k-rails were dan- gerous, and should be made safe for; the public-"

PAUPER LA D'S VOICE. .1 The story of a pauper lad whose voice gires promise of brilliant resultswas told at a meeting of the North Dublin Union Baard of Guardians. A report by two lady guardians pointed out that Patrick/iJryne, aged 15, at present employed as a golf caddie, was a boy whom a theatrical man- ager had offered to start in life an a singer. The theatrical manager heard bim singing on the links, and was so taken by his voioe that he wrote making the offer mentioned.' None of the giiatidians were àwareiwhothe interested theatrical manager wag, and it was finally decided that inquires should be made ae to his identity, and a correspondence opened with him.

TOWN TTNBER WATER. Fifteen hundred men; women, and. cbitdren spent a night in imminent peril of their lives on the roofs of the houses of the little town of Pattonsburg, Missouri. They were marooned by floods, which for miles swept away bridges and railway tracks, inundating the entire town with ten feet of water. The mayor of the town, standing knee-deep in water in his house, telephoned for assistance, Forty boats sent down the Grand River, which at Pattonsburg is now five miles broad, worked strenuously throughout the night reselling the hapless residents from the tree tops and roofs. Eight hundred of the fifteen hundred lost all their worldly possessions.

HOME HINTS. Oysters are highly nutritious, and. are most easily assimilated when eaten raw. Clean frying-pans by scouring with salt the moment they are done with, then wipe clean with a cloth. Don't boil potatoes-steam them. When nearly done take off lid of steamer, add salt, cover with cloth. Air the clothes-press and drawers regu- larly once a month to make sure there is no dampness in them. Some cooks claim that the flavour of cocoa is improved by a little cinnamon sprinkled over the top just before serving. To remove mildew, rub over the marks with a piece of raw tomato, sprinkle with ealt, and lay in the sun. Repeat the process if necessary two or three times. As soon as the contents are emptied from a saucepan it should be filled with water and a small piece of soda placed in it, and stood back on the stove; it will not then be nearly •o much trouble to clean. J Rubber overshoes can be patched with a strip of surgeon's adhesive plaster if the hole is not too large. If leather "lifts" are fitted into the heels of rubbers, the overshoes will wear longer than without them. j Mutton Pie.—Take cold roast mutton, cut in nice slices, and lay them in a pie-dish; season with pepper and salt, add the cold gravy and a spoonful of currant jelly. Add a little water, a piece of butter, dredge with flour, and cover with paste. Bake 40 minutes. Muslin curtains, especially those to be used in a bedroom, should be rinsed in alum water, which does not spoil their colour and renders them non-inflammable. Allow two ounces of alum to a .gallon of water. To freshen stale cake, dip it for a second in cold milk, and then rebake it in a rather cool oven. Cake that has been treated in this way will taete as if it has been newly baked, and may be eaten by anyone. Stale bread may be treated in the same way. The French have a way of making even an inferior quality of table linen look well with- out the aid of starohi. When the napkins are washed and ready to be ironed, they are dipped into boiling water and partially wrung out between cloths. They are then rapidly ironed with as hot a flat-iron as pos- sible without burning them. Copper utensils may be brightened by the use of vinegar and salt or oxalic acid. Ordi- nary ironware may be scoured with finely- sifted coal allies, and galvanised ironware may be wiped off with a cloth dipped in kero- cene. Tins may be cleaned with kerosene and sand, or rubbed with crumpled news- f papers. It takes less than a minute to put on an old pair of gloves when one has a dirty piece of work, such as dusting or making a fire, to do; but what a saving it is to the hands. Housewives who make a point of thus pro- tecting their skin never have unsightly in- grained blacks on their hands, nor those dis- tressing cracks that get so dreadfully chapped and painful. Coffee is a wholesome beverage, and would be more freely partaken of in this country if it were be ttermade, Those who can afford it should buy a brown earthenware coffee pot, as it proves a good investment. If the holes of the percolator are not kept clear, dja appointment will result. To do tliM easily* set it every few days in a basin of hot soda water, and all grit will soak out. In using a gas stove it is well to see that 1he handles of the cooking utensils are not placed over the lighted gas, as. they soon ue- Icome very hot and may burn the hand that tries to lift them from the stove. Theil again, the iiaiidks must not project much beyond the stove, or they may catch in the garments of one moving hurriedly by, and lead to (severe scalds through the upsetting of hot water or fat. f :———— Sauoe.—Piquant eauce for keeping, and j which makes a. good relish for cold meat, is prepared as follows: Steep three ounces of salt, two ounces of scraped horseradish, and half an ounce of ginger in three pints of boiling vinegar. St^nd this for twenty-four I hours, then strain tnrough thick muslin, and bottle for use. A clove of garlic will be found a great improvement to the above in- gredients. A refreshing toilet water which may be easily made at home is composed of IDoz. of j orange-flower water mixed with loz. of pure glycerine and ioz. of powdered borax. ingredients should be added by degrees, con- stant stirring feeing necessary in order to mix them thoroughly together, when the liquid should be bottled, and well ohaken before it is used. Koast Ox Heart.—Well wash the inside of the heart, and remove the fat from the top. Put the heart into a pan of boiling water, and boil gently for twenty minutes. This prevents it having the unpleasant, greasy flavour which is the reason this dish is not generally liked. Take (jut¡ .;1.ud drain and stuff with breadcrumbs, suet, parsley, lemon, and grated nutmeg, blended with egg. Roast for ..Vtte two,. hours. Housewives have not infrequently occa- sion to labels bottles, jars, or tins with the name of thein contents, but the labels, put on with ordinary' paste or gum, soon fall off. A capital adhtmve pri,stt> for Huh purpose is made of ct'uvli. 2dr.: white sugar, loz.; gum arabic, 2dr: and -enoujrh waVr to bring ito the require<i tliii kne-.v Dissolve the gum in the water, add the svu^.ir ana then the starch, and boil until the starch is cooked. Collared Fowl.—Boil the fowl in, sufficient water tp cover it until the meat cohjm off the, banes easily. The head and feet, and any other bones, may be boiled with it to improve the stock, also a large onion stuck with three or four, eldves, and a bunch of herbs. qit a: mould, and place round it slices of cooked" hani or bacon, and three hard-boiled eggs cut in slices.
