Hie muezzin. a long melodious chant, is hoard Hunting over tin? ?till air of morning from tito tower? of Teheran. At the tame m nm ul till .sun bursts over tho eastern plains, nuil burnishes tho walls of th- capitol willi u golden glow. On tho loft.) turo I ol' the palace gato a troop of royal trumpcl ti liai ls the coming day, while in tin nt root ? bolow rings tie- plobian born which an nouneos to tho people thai the publii baths mo ready for the tinily ablution. At the sume time tin- camel bolla ar. heard of caravans which, utter traveling all night, aro now entering tho city. An attendant in Blocking foi t raises Un heavy il ni] ?ci y (hut closos tho enhance to tim apartment wi ?oro Nusr-cd-Docn Shah is sleeping, and with bowed hen in a low tone rem?Utlfl iii;. M .; sty that il iathc hour of prayer. A "moonfaced" maiden approaches, bearing i baum and ewer of K^ld; she pout bceuled water over the royal hands, and another fair attendant, scantily clad, ii!;.' hor com panion, dries his hands with n norl towel. Both kneel at this duty, for tho king i> vd on his couch, wluoh ii n mattresH laid on tho costly rugs that cover till Hour. Having accomplished the ablu tions, which form ?me of tho essential rites of Mussulman prayer, the Shah oilers his devotions on a superb prayer rug ol' silk poiuted toward Mi c a. When a Mohammedan is on a joline / he car ries a compas:, w ith him, in or lor to lind thu direction of Mecca. Tho prayer is repeated in a low tone willi many genu flections, of which the obiof consist of repeatedly hilliup ii.it on the face, rising tu the kines, and then standing ami passing both hand-, reverentially over the leer. ttis morning prayer over, the Shah passes to a steam bath partially subter ranean and containing vi .- a apart ments. The entire cstublii lum 111 ia misty w it h .steam, and a dim light per vades a hall paved with lii.e do. 'Hie Walls ari" encrusted with glitzed liles nr ranged in olegnnt floral designs. Tin light sifts through bullea es in tho vaulti il ceiling, which is supported hy graceful pillars, lu separate alcoves aro deep tanks tilled rosptctivclv with hot and coldwater. Tho nil. iahu.1 ? of tho king aro selected from tho numerous lovely women whose charil.s qualify thom ttlik< ns bund maidens anil wives, lt is need less to say that tuidoi'such ciroiunstniici s tho morning bath of tho ?Shah of l-'ersia possesses attractions of a churaoter ns agreeable as they ate min u tl, The daily attention given to these baths very likely explains i.: pari tin marvelous physical endurance of Oriental .sovereigns, who retain their l owers for domestic duties nuil nllUirs of si ito to old age in climates vvhioli Luuopoans lind enervating and i Khuusting. After bathing, tho Shah pm takes of a light meal of tea or cotice with bread, and perhaps fruits. Having thus ar ranged his personal wants, Musi cd-Deon Shah passes into one of his nunn rons audience chamber.-, and reeoivi the min isters of the royal c umoil or. .a.im t. li is composed ot tin- hedr Az. in or Primo Minister; the Naib B?ltum h, minister ol war, tho vizier I lamil jo or minister of foreign affairs; the Anim e yul an, min ister of nuance; lin Mohpcr-cd-Douloh, minister of mint s and telegraphs; tho Emin-ed-Douleli, minister of posts ami administrator of tin- religious funds; the Bani-cd-Bouleh, minister of printing, and several other high dignitaries, in cluding the mini-tei ol arts and sciences, wlio is also supt riutendent ot tint arsen al, and the head of lin- medical depart ment, called hy the singular name ul Hakcem-ul-Mamolck, or Pin lician ?a tho Em piro. Thisfunctioi ar) li t Persian who graduated .a the medical college of Puris. He has for his colleagues several oilier physicians, including Br. Tholo .zan, a French practitioner who enjoys the confidence of the shah and roads to )l|m thc lending foreign journals. During a recent .severe illness tho simh called to his OSsisiaUOO Dr. Cochrane, a talented American missionary physician rcsidiug in Persia. As it is yet carly morning it is evident that these dignitaries nie obligi d to re, oven earlier limn the Shah in order to bo prosont nt this morning audience'. One by one they lai c the pordoh or maturive embroidered portiere, and ? titer thu prOSonCO of thc du a.I sovereign who holds tht ir lives and fortunes i:i his list, and is styled the Asylum of the Universo and the King of Kings, I he latter title at least is oapablo of reasonable explana (ion. For in the periods of lu r former greatness a monarch might be well con sidered liing of kings, to w boin I he kings of Ainu ina, of Egypt, of Tourun, ol Lydia, of Georgia, of Afghanistan, of Imbil, and at omi tune <>i Byzantium pani tribute. Tho ministers bow low. on t uloring tho "blessed prOBOnOo" they repeat the OTC jnony half way ucioss lia? apartment and again on urrivi ig within easy speaking distance of ti.e Khali, where they .' talia in tho order of precedence with folded builds, lt ia tho habit of tbeShah to go with some minuteness into the dotails of administration. The present Shah does this, it is said, more thuti soino ta' his predecessors, owing probably to tho luck i men of marked integrity mid ability to take charge of departments. In former years it WIIH also the custom lo bring criminals ace used ot capital offences before Hie Bilah, and tim con domnud ninn wasexecnted Immediately, either in his presence ot in an adjoining Court. But some y cu fl ago Nnsr-cd I ll en Hindi praotioaily Abolished the custom Ol adjudicating criminal cases, and his morning audiences uro now rarely the seine of such painful incidente, although lie boa not altogether abandoned tho ex orcise of ordering tho execution of a en,;i.M..1 on raro occasions. On the journey to Mooched in lW*t, tho Hhnh oommaiideii tho instant decapitation of a murderer. These audiences last n verni hours. His majesty from tune to time DlljoyS H cup of toa and a knlinn or wnterpijpo during tim M S.mn. After tho miniatura retire, tho king devotes tho interval to private study or a more careful examina tion into tin: affairs of Ids administra tion, attended by some head of a depart - nient from whom ho desires more, pro eise information. This would bo par ticularly tho C080 with tho Mohper-cd Douloli, who is at onco Minister <d Com merce and Ministor of Minos and Tele graphs, in whom the Shall reposes some confidence Tlio Sani-od-Pouleh, or Minister id I'uhlio Printing, is also a funotunry who is often closeted with the Shall, as he is a public censor and houii unt editor of tho ollioial journals, lt is dd nothing goos into these periodicals without llrst passing under too oyo of the Shah. But as they appear only mont lily, and cover but four pages in largo typo, tho task of editing is moro apparent than reid. The Sani cd-1 Vnilch also assists the Shall in editing his journals of travels, und propariug them for tho press. Thc most recent work of thia description ia tho account of thu Shah's excursion to Mesohed in L882, in which tho loyal author gives some of his own couolusions concerning tho antiquities along tho toute ho followed. Tho work is illus i ruted with lithographic illustrations mude from photographs. These works, its well ns the ollioial gazettes, are print id by lithography. This muy seem a somewhat laborious and unnecessary process at tito present age} for tho cast lug ol' Arabie characters, which thc Persians uso, has bcou often done, und BOVI ral volumes have been printed ill Imtia in tho Persian language from | metid typos. Hut tho Porsiaus, with their exquisite rusthotio feeling, cannot become habituated to typo ??liding, us it is lesa soft, (lowing and (fexiblo than tho written character, [lonee tho profor ma' for lithography, which approxi mately gives them the delicate touches ii thc caligraphio ar'. A skilltul scribe writes out each pago as it is to appear in Hie printed copy. This is photographed MI a stone w ith a prepared sui lace. As ono may readily suppose, tho facts in theso ollioial periodicals ure often in HIM rsi! ratio to the Morid Int? g lingo and niporfluity of high Hounding titles nod librases, very like FalstaH's pennyworth d' broad to au intolerable dud of rack. Tho correspondence from the provinces ?a annually summed up in some such phrase as this, for example: " The good people of Tabrcez are in usual health, ?ira ISO'bo to dod, und are saying their m ayers with pious regularity. Hut tho Shah's government also om ploys tile columns of the ollioial journals 10 suggest its relations with the powers, ' md test the quality of their ititlueiico ut ! he court of Persia.

During my last winter in Porsia an 11 tide appeared in Hie sume periodical giving u biographical account ot Hie then President-elect Clovolnnd, w ith his por rait. This article was inspired by mi Ihiropean paper, and couscipiently con aim d several items which were either in Iso or so expressed us to convey uni lilpression qualified to injuriously alb cl ' ? ur prestige among such ii people as tho j Persians, and I was soon informed that undi was indeed the result. lt has always been my opinion that a P ni ted States n prcsoututivo abroad dioidd uphold the honor und on dit of ii; country and et ni nt ry men no less than heir commercial interests, which ure hereby assisted. Therefore, although u'dy aware that probably one of the 1 i rst diloinl act.-- of tin- new administration ivonhl be to call on mo to give np tho eg.dion I had just established in that ar away country, 1 did not allow this act to affect my conduct in what I COU lidered ??? be my duty in this cuse.

"Will you give the Herald," 1 asked, "ii statement making clear to tho public mind tho oxaot state of medical soienoo concerning hypnotic discoveries?" "Certainly," replied Dr. Chalcot. .''I hose experiments ure conducted under my general direction by Dr. Babinski, This is how Dr. Babinski carries thom OU! Thc subjects are seated back to back and a magnet is held to tho side of ono of thom, lt is not necessary that Ibero should bo actual COUtaot between tho subjects, but if there is the transmission is more rapid than when they mc ut a distuuee from one another.

To th< Ural category belong experiments made on two young {pris who suffered from hysterical epilepsy and exhibited ?ill the phenomena of extreme hypnotism a? they have been described my mo.

Then Dr. IJubinski produced, first in ono and th n in tho other, dilVorout apparent hysterical symptoms of paralysis of tho arni and ol' the leg, coxalgia, dumbness, etc. The patient thus attacked by un artificial hysterical aiieotion is brought ?uto rapport with his companion, near whom tho mugnot has been placed.

But tho latter retained his malady at tlic end of tho oxporimont. "M.
