In going from the Caspian saa to Tesd one seas a atrip of green country thirty miles wide along the sea and another twenty miles In diameter round Teheran. Aside from that there la nothing but waste. The desert In Persia, however, la of many klndk There a rt places Where the ground la absolutely bare except for the thick crusts of salt that lie like snowdrifts, streaking the plain In •v e ry direction. There are also places equally salt where the proximity of a certain amount o f useless w ater pro duces a larger quantity of plant life than In the ordinary desert. For the rest there la a vast waste of sandy patches and of gravelly soil, fertile enough when water can be brought to It, sometimes flacked w ith dry, brown- lab shrubs, sometimes quits bars. Tw o desert plants never touch one another In the moat favorable places two very tiny shrubs may ba found within two yards of each other, but with a single exception one does not •ae oo the central Persian caravan routs a place away from the hills w ith enough natural growth to modify the color of the distance. Even In the oases no seed cornea up that la not purposely sown; no plant seems to have any association with the rest. One fixes the eye on each of them Individually as upon a single unit, not as oo a part of a field or a garden. The w ater for these oaaas la brought by the moot difficult means Imagina ble I t la found In abundance a t the toot of the mountains, perhaps 800 foot underground. When a well baa been sunk and plenty of w ater found • hunt Io mads for the nearest plaoa In the desert which la lower than wa ter level in the well. Such a spot la Toed, thirty miles from the sources w hl-b water I t In a line with that place other wells are aunk thirty or forty yards apart, each shallower than • the one before, and then from the re torted sits a tunnel la run ta to the first pit, from that to the second, and so on bank to the wells, even though they be forty miles away. Through this un derground channel flows tbs Ufa giving water. Sometimes It happens that a auddea hard rain falls In this desert country. I t brings many disasters, for the sun hak»d mud roofs of the dwellings are caved In. their walla are washed away, sued other damage la done them.

The true evil eye charm of the It a l ian« Is In the shape of a tiny hand, the la d e i and the little finger being point ed out and the third and fourth Angara being held down by the thumb. The charm, however, la merely a represen tation of the way In which the Italian holds his hand. Whan pointed outward he wishes to cast the evil eye on an enemy, or when turned toward himself he thinks to protect himself from Its malicious spell. Thia little charm can be b o u g h t In Ita ly of various materials, coral, tor toise shell, silver and gold being the onea In highest favor. The coral charms are those worn by the poorer classes, since of a cheap grads of the material they can ba bought for a tow aoua. Naturally the aristocracy prefer them of gold. In Italian money these tiny things then coot the equivalent of about 88. Sometimes they are seen exquisitely modeled, the fingers and nails being ns carefully chiseled as marble statues. Another small hand that the Italian wears as a charm la known as the Manus Panthea, a facsimile of which Is to be found In the museum In Rome I t la referred to In various Egyptian papyri, and Indeed was worn by the ancients to prevent disease and witch craft and the evil eye from taking hold o f them and to induce love and amla blllty. This hand baa the thumb, the Index and the middle fingers held out in a straight line, while the other two are turned under toward the palm of the band. Instead of being smooth on Its outer surface, aa la the evil eye hand, It Is covered w lih many mystical aym bola—a tooth, a serpent, and so on. Each of these little signs has Its pe culiar charm and la aa well understood and heeded among the Italians today as formerly among the Egyptian magi clans. The third small band which the Ita l ians wear for their supposed good 1« the so called Manus Pontlflcous, or the hand of the Holy Father. I t shows the four fingers held out cloeely together, and the thumb alone la curved under the palm of the hand. Aa the Manna Panthea, It la covered on the outside with mystical symbols. — Washington Star. FO IB LE S O F L IT E R A R Y M E N .
