In accordance with the national character
for suspicion and intrigue and corruption,
an Afghan dwelling house is like an Afghan
boorkaposh---a whiiened sepulchre. The flat
roofs OF the houses have generally parapet
wall formed Of railwork, thickly oyerlaid
with mad, and five or six feet high, TO allow
the women of the family to take an
airing unveiled, as their lords are
very jealous about their being overlooked.
During our former occupation of the city an
officer who had assembled to the upper part
of the Bala Hissar 10 get q good view of the
surrounding country was credited with look
ing at some women half a mile below him.
and received a delicate hint in the shape of a
ball from jsjail whizzing past his head.
But, however much an Afghan won d
face being exposed to the vulgar
gaze, he has not the slightest objection to
being squared to ':keep her purdah;" or,
in other words, conniving at her connubial
vagarios for a consideration. The wives may
go wherever they please in their boorka-
poshes, to shop or to visit relations, but they
must keep their purdah,'' otherwise, avoid
scandal. In some of the walls facing the
street little loop-holes with tiny shutters
exist, through which an Afghan beauty
may be seen glancing quickly and fur
lively at the passing stranger, while her
grim old lord and master sits stolidly gazing
at vacancy through wider aperture below.
Afghan ladies' exercise considerable influence
over their spouses both in domestic and DO
litical affairs. Savage and intractable as the
men usually are among themselves. it is
quite beautiful to see how submissive they
can become to the discipline of the Harem
Serai. An officer has lately been telling us
in the Times how Shere Ali has the slipper
applied to his august head by the mother of
his deceased heir, Abdulla Jan.

piteously for her young life. The cap
tive, alse, to whom the Governor was
much attached, Joined his prayers to
hers, and implored that they might be
made man and wife, and then the Sc
cret would be safe. The Governor was
not stern enough to imm0 0late his child,
and perhaps a gIeam Of ambition may
have flashed across his mind, as in the
event of the death of Louis XIV the
prisoner would be acknowledged, and
his daughter sit on the throne of
France.
However, their nuptials were per-
formed by priest of the castle in the
dead Of night, and all were sworn to
secresy. From this union two children
were born. A whisper of this reaching
the ears OF the Minister, the Marquis
of LouvOis, the prisoner was immedi-
arely removed TO the Bastile for safer
keeping, and the mother, the priest
and the Governor disappeared. The
children were sent to Corsica, to be
brought up in obscurity under the
name OF their grandfather, Bonpart,
which was corrupted into BOunaparte.
And thus, says the legend, Providence
avenged the wrongs of the twin broth
er of Louis XIV, and restored the eld-
est branch of the Bourbon line to the
throne of France. :. .--.l

The Origin of Old Glory.

The main purpose in designing the
American flag as 1t exists at present
was to make distinct national stand-
ard for all occasions where a national
flag is required. Both the stripes and
the stars were originally intended to
represent the States in the Unlon, their
number to be the same as the number
OF fhe States. The act of Congress OF
1777 prescribed thirteen stripes, alter
nate red and white, and thirteen stars,
white on blue field, representing a
"new constellation" In 1895. after
Kentucky and Vermont had been add
Ell to the Union, Congress passed a
resolution rtqulring fifteen stripes and
fifteen stars, the crlUrs remaining the
same. As new States were added,
which demanded additional stripes as
we'll as additional stars, 1t was not ca
sy to arrange the increasing number of
stripes, and 80, in 1S18,an act was pass
ed reducing the number of stripes to
the original thirteen, and making the
number of stars equal to the number OF
States, the new star to be added on the
4th of July next succeeding the admis-
sion OF new State.
AS to the colors, there is nothing but
surmise. Some suppose the red and
white were adopted from the red flag
of the British army, and the white flag
OF the navy. Others have suggested
that the entire flag was borro wed stars
and all, from the coat of arms of the
Washington family. But there is moth
ing sure about il.

disclaiming any purpose to disturb the Presi'

deserves a careful reading: .-s li.-u
Scarlet fever is like smallpox In Its
power to spread rapidly from person.
It Is highly contagious. The disease
show Its first signs in about one week
after exposure, as general rule, and
persons who escape the illness during
q fortnight after exposure may feel
themselves free from attack. Scarlet
fever, scarlstina, canker rash, and rash
fever are names Of the one and the
same dangerous disease.
When a Case OF scarlet fever oc-
ours In any family, the sick person
should be placed in room apart from
the other inmates Of the house, and
should be nursed, as far as possible, by
one person only. The sick chamber
should be well warmed. Its furniture
should be such rs will permit of clean
ing without injury, and all extra
articles, such as window drapery and
wooden carpets, should be removed
from the room during the sickness.
The family should not mingle with
other people. Visitors to an infected
house should be warned of the presence
of dangerous disease therein, and
children especially should not be adj
mitted.
On recovery The sick person should
not mingle with the well until the
roughness of the skin, due to the
disease, shall have disappeared. a
month Is considered an average period
during which isolation Is needed. The
clothing, being used by the patient or
nurse, should be cleansed by boiling
for at least one hour, or il that can not
be done, by free and prolonged exposure
to out>dOor air and sunlight. The
walls Of the room should be dry rub

pos4 should be burned without previous
