STRANGE PERVAN CUSTOM.
May hOeinand a Nobleman to -Take Up
Your Grievance.
In Persia 'there is the strange 'custom
known as d"bast." It simply means that
any one having -a grievance by taking
refuge on the ,prernises of a nobleman
may demand that the nobleman take up
his cause as though the basteeewere one
of his own household. There seems to
be no linait to the custom, for the petty
criminal, often takes 'refuge, or -bast, in
a inosque, where lie is safe, if his friends
are allowed to feed him. If the police
want him they must starve him' out.

years in one of the legations patiently

Itnown tor Years ae the Cliff.
dales Alderman,
A couple of ;weelis ago one of the
leading items OE Ellgliqh news was tho
visit of the reining Lori Mayor to Perla,.
This wes practically the valedictory
function of Ills year, and it was a most
succestful one. Now the papers ore full
of the descriptions of the functions at-
tending the inauguration of the Lord
Mayor for the coming year, Sir William
Treloar, head of the great carpet
house of Treloar St Sons. Unfortunately
the day of the Lord Mayor's ehow was
clisMal and rainy, so eliat the pageant
was somewhat spOiled.'llowever, this
untoward event win not detract from the
popularity of the incumbent of the office.
Tim CHILDREN'S ALDERMAN.
This year's Lord Mayor is one of the
most popular' aldermen who lieve °cell -
pied the chair during the peeseot cen-
tury, and hi$ popularity leis been won
not alone on account of his,service$ to
Rio city and corporation which have
eonferred their highest honor upon him,
but because of his charity and his great
public spirit in a. far wider field. For
years past ho has been knoWn. as the
Childrerns Alderman, because of the
efforts which be.and Lady Treloar have
made on behalf of the children of Atte
poor, especially the trippled cleldren;
but 4 must- always be remembered that
beyond this obaritable kindliness his
knighthood was is \viten, in the year
1900, he threw himself with bus a,ccus-
tomeenardor and energy into,ehe patrio-
tic task of 'aiding the Lord- Me.yor in
raising and equipping the City of Lon-
don Volunteers—the C 1 Vns. In that
ye7orre.he WAS sheriffe and he had been
elected alderman of his ward eight years
b
WIDENED LUDGATE HILL.
It IS interesting to know that this
veritable merchant prieee was born at
the foot of Ludgate 1-1111,.ird the heart of
the city, and hear where his warehouse
now stands, as in those days it was the
custom for merchants to live above their
shops. Sir William took overtthe bustness left by his father aied built, it up to
large proportions. His motto for busi-
ness success, phrased in the Itteguage 'of
the man operatives, is, "It's dogged as
does it." Though he has been a very.
busy mei all his life, ne-has found time
to enjoy lithrattfre and art and to write
a book, "Ludgate' 11111," giving a bistory
'of that historic thoroughfare. His in-
terest in the street, is more than historic
because lie was the person chiefly re-
eponsible for widening ilia street from
47 feet to 60 feet ,throughout its length
against, very strong oppositiort.
- NO SINECURE.
By DO means a sinecure is this. posi-
tion. The Lorn Mayor receives .a.salary
of $50,000 a year, and is given, rent free,
the palatial Mansion House for a resi-
dence, but his enormous expenses are
not 'nearly met by his eatery, and he is
obliged to draw heavily upon les pri-
vate ,resotirces. A poor man „cannot be
