Tha Coffet Cup In Paraia.
The expression "to give a cup of
coffee" htm In Persia a somewhat omi
nous significance. Tliln is due to the
fact that the coffee cup Is one recog
nized medium for conveying poison.
Some years ago the governor of Aspa
dana. having long been at daggers
drawn with the chief of a powerful
mountain tribe, determined in this
way to put an end to all trouble. He
professed to entertain a great degree
of friendship and esteem for the chief
tain and invited htm to visit him at his
palace. The chief unsuspiciously came,
accompanied by his two young sons.
For a week they were royally enter
tained. Rut at last one morning when
the chief came Into his .host's presence
he was coldly received, aud an attend
ant soon stepped forward with a single
cup of coffee In his hand, which he of
fered to the guest. The latter could
not fall to understand that he was
doomed. Preferring, however, steel to
poison, he declined the enp and was
thereupon, at a signal from his host,
stabbed to death.
