HERAT.
One Of the Most Important Places on the
Map of the World.

One OF the MOST Important BlaCes on the
Map of the World.
But the eyes of the civilized world
are now directed to Central Asia
Within the last ten years the Russian
armies have Over-run the vast plateau
from which issued the Aryan race, the
same mighty breed of men which has
from time TO time repeatedly conquered
the rest of the world. A study of
language has proved that the Hin
doc and the European have come from
one common stock. whose birthplace
today is controlled bv the forces of the
Car. From its base on the Caspian
Sea the Russian armies have marched
steadily southwark. until now it's out
posts are within striking distance of
Herat. This is one of the most import
ant places on the map of the world.
1t was cOntended for by mighty armies
long before the beginning of recorded
history. This is shown By its defensive
works which are of great extent and
magnitude, but of the construction of
which no record has come down to- us.
When various waves of Aryan invasion
moved southwark, Herat was first
seized. as it was the KEY to the military
possession of India. Should it fall into
the hands of Russia, that event would
mark the beginning of the end of the
British rule over Hindostan. Weak as
she is in military sense compared with
other nations, Great Britain would risk
a war with any other power against
heavy odds rather than allow Herat to
come into the possession of the Musco-
yite. The war may be postponed, but
como il will, for Herat is of vital i'm
portance to Russia from a trade point
of view. That city is now the gateway
through which pours the commerce
of Great Britain with Central Asia.
British goods worth thirty million dol
lars are annually distributed to those
pant is of the Asiatic continent now un-
der the dominion of Russia. This
great trade the Muscovite authorities
would like TO secure for their own man
ufacturers. Hence every consideration
of power and interest impels Russia to
obtain possession of the gateway to
the Indies. The country about Herat
too is exceedingly fertile, and would
support an army of hundred thou
sand men.-Dem0resfs Monthly.

Colonel Wintersmith, of Kentucky,

the young man if he did not want to

yes. He was motioned to get in. and
in a moment he was sitting by the side
of the President. who opened the con-
versation by asking him who he was
and where he was going. He replied
that his name was Morgan, and that
he was going home from school, and

A MonosylIabie Name Which Has Been
Prolific of Derivations.
As o family name it is sometimes
found as a plain John, then as st.
John, and then its first changes is into
Johns, then comes Jones, Johnson,
Johncock, Jonkins, Jenkens, Jennings,
Jenkinson, jerks. Jinks and Jinkin-
son. BY additions we have Littlejohn,
Browniohn and Properjohn. No argu-
ment is needed TO prove the popularity
of Jack. As a nickname il is fixed
beyond all fear of abolition, aud from
a nickname it passed by easy stages to
a reputable place among the family
names. Jack is not very common, but
Jacks is more frequent, and Jackson
no longer excites remark. We have
Little idea how wonderfully popular the
name Jack used to be. Everybody
was Jack till he was found to be some
one else, so that every man Jack of
them was a common term for a crowd
and its integral parts for ages. Every
servant whose name or Office happened
to be unknown, went by the name of
Jack, and thus an idea of utility
was attached to the character of Jack,
which, when articles of house
hold use were one after an
other invented, came into play in Civ
ing them names also. and thus we have
boot-jacks and black-jacks and smoke
jacks and jack-towels, together with
Jacks for this, that and other purpose,
until the name became so common as
to be inconvenient. Then came an
idea that Jack must be a cunning sort
of fellow, and so the appelation gradu-
ally applied itself to the smarter of the
animal kingdom: and thus came the
jackdaw, the jack-an-apes and the jack
pike. But as familiarity is potent
breeder of contempt, the very common
ness of the name threw it into disre-
pute as having something stupid about
it, and we thus gained jack-fool or jack
pudding, or a buffoon, and jackass for
a dolt." This is a sad fall for the
name of the beloved disciple, but to
such uses will a name sometimes come.
1t is curious to know that the name
John became common in the western
part of Europe only after the crusades,
when the pilgrims to the Holy Land
always carried as part of their outfit
a bottle designed to hold the vatee
from the River Jordan brought home

Ayotabls Consultation WITH Somnambu-
lists i'm France.
Credulity, belief in somnambulists,
and so on are to be met with not among
the uneducated classes alone, as Is
proved by case connected with the
authenticity of an alleged historical
document. which latterly engaged the
attention of the Paris Tribunal of Cor
rectional Police. The complainant,
who described herself as q descendant
of a Governor of India under Louis
Nv. had in her possession o document
showing that in 1887 her ancestor had
deposited a treasure of forty million
francs in his castle of Vilsoq. She took
L certain NJ. Robert into her confidence.
and, neither of them having means of
their own TO carry Cd researches, two
persons were persuaded 10 advance
money on condition of receiving por-
ton of the treasure when recovered.
NJ. Robert set to work, found the pre-
else spot where the Chateau de Vilco1
had formerly stood, and obtained the
consent of the Marquise de Civrie, to
whom the estate now belongs, to dig
the ground. it being understood that
she was also to receive q portion of the
property supposed to be hidden there.
Digging went on for long time, but
nothing was found. Three somnam-
bulists were then consulted. each of
whom fixed on different spot, and In
each spot excavations on a very ex-
tensive scale were made. Briefly, she
search was carried on with such en-
ergy that the property of the Marquise
was completely devastated, and that
lady. quite disguised. had to call the
police to turn the explorers out of her
estate. Debts, however. had been in

to doubt whether the alleged descend
ant of the Governor of India under
Louis XIV" was not an impostor, re-
fused to restore her the Historical
document" had it examined by ex-
perts, and learned that it must have
been drawn up within the last fifty
years. The Tribunal awarded him
fifty francs damages, but the Marquise

Visit to King Msnkoroane and His Kraal IN
BechuanaIand.
Yesterday afternoon so soon as our
midday meal was over, started of
with friend to explore the kraal. 1t
was a two mile walk. and all the heat
, of the sun centered on the earth at this
hour. Arriving at the outskirts, we
determined first to 60 and pay King
Mankoroane, the chief or king of the
tribe, visit, whose place we found
without difficulty common, large
hut. made of mud plastered together
with brushwood and reeds. and coarsely
matched on the roof. The caves pro-
jected over the walls about three feet.
so that a verandah was formed around
the hut. The entrance was through q
yard which surrounded the hut, with a
wall of brushwood seven feet high.
There was only one doorway, into
which we entered on a smooth yard of
red clay. Here. with their backs to
the wall, sat some men, probably the
kings body-guard. They were all more
or less dressed. having trousers patched
with every conceivable color and ma
teriaI, some with hats. others old gov
eminent helmets. We walked into the
hut, which was divided in two by q
low wall The inside was lined with
gray clay, and quaint figures and de-
vices were made on it. Opposite the
door and close to the inside wall lay 3
man on a couch with folded-up shawl
under his head. He had on a red fan
mel shirt. blue coat. very old cord
trousers and boots with cloth tops, but
no socks. He was the king. At his
head sat another person, the queen, sit
ting like sailor, naked TO her waist
She had a quantity of beads round
her neck of different colors, from
which hung charms and such useful
articles as KEYS. The king was sound
asleep. but the queen and attendants
were wide awake. The smell and bad
air were intolerable. Round against
the wall sat his two princesses, or
daughters. Then two men smoking.
Not one of them took the slightest
notice of us. At last | addressed the
queen, and wished her all the COM
pliments of the season. All then be-
gan to talk except the king. who sat
still asleep. To keep them company /
took up the chorus of an old song.
They seemed delighted at this, so L
gave it them again, laughing violently
all the time. my friend imploring me
To keep quiet lest l should wake the
king and incur his wrath: but he did
not wake. We then offered the queen
cigarettes, and the princessess, and
the two men. The nearest princess
chewed her cigarette. After sitting
most of an hour we got up to go, and
| nearly fell over black baby lying on
the floor. which yelled and woke the
king. Up he jumped and greeted us
most warmly. shaking hands and ask
ing 'baco,' and also 'shillin.' l gave
him a cigarette. which he forthwith lit
up, imploring me to give him 4 shilling.
i took out my purse and turned it up
side down. and out dropped piece of
money for which both the princeSses.
the queen, and all the courtiers
scrambled. One of the princesses
secured it, and held it up laughing.
We then left, saying Goodbye TO
which they responded civilly.-Cor.

that he believed Jefferson To be a ras-

again took his seat in the gig.

him that if he would come to Washing

''Some months afterward young
Morgan. becoming disguised with
things about home, concluded TO run

office. He stole out one night with
his clothes in bundle on a stick over
his shoulder and walked to Washing
ton. When he got to the city--it was
nothing but muddy village then-he
was covered with dust, and his boots
were the color of clay. He went, how
ever, just as be was, up to the White
House. and finding the door open
walked boldly into room where he
saw Jefferson writing. bending over a
table. He went up To- him, and laying
his hand on his shoulder. said: Hello.

him TO be seated. He then called a
servant and sent the boy off to be
brushed up. asking him if he had
another suit of clothes to which
he replied he had. He was then
given a room in the White House. and
Ghe President told him to look about
for few DAYS and see what kind of
office he wanted. This young Morgan
did. and at the end of the first day he
told Jefferson he believed he would
take q colonelcy in the army.
President Jefferson laughed. and
told him that the colonies were always
old men. He must take something
else. but not to be in q hurry, to
look around and see the city. He then
sent midshipman with him to make
things pleasant for him. and in day
or two young Morgan decided that he
would rather be a midshipman than
anything else. Jefferson.at once gave
him the appointment, and he went on
