Are the AfEhans Of Jeufsb Origin
In an account Of his travels, Sir Al
exander Burnes wrote these interesting
lines:
"The Afghans call themselves Ben I
Israeli, or children of Israel, but on
slider the term of Yahoodee, or Jew, to
be one Of reproach. Thoy say that Neb-
uchadnezzar, after the overthrow Of the
temple Of Jerusalem, transplanted them
to the town OF Chore, near Bameear,
and that they are called Afghans from
their chief, Afghana, who was a son of
the uncle of Asof 1.-THE yizier Of Solo
nom, who was the son of Berkia. The
genealogy of this person is traced from
n collateral branch, on account Of the
obscurity of his own parent, which is
by no mean3 uncommon in the cast.
They say that they lived as Jews till
khaleed (called by the title Of Caliph).
summoned them in the first century of
Mohammedanism to assist in the wars
of the inidels. For their services on
that occasion, Kyse, their leader, got
tho title OF Abdoolrusheed, which means
the Son of the Mighty. He Was also
told 10 consider himself as the butan,
ian Arabic word, OF mast Of his tribe,
on which its prosperity would hinge,
anu Dy winch the vessel OF the btatc was
10 be governed. Since that time the
Afghans are sometimes called Putan, by
which name they are familiarity known
in India.
1.-THE Afghans look like Jews. They
say they are descended from the jews,
and tho younger brother marries tho
widow Of the elder according to the
law Of Moses. The Afghans entertain
strong preiudices against the Jewish ma
ton, which would at least show that
they have no desire to claim without
Just cause a descent from them. Since
some Of the tribes of Israel came to the
east why should We not admit that the
Afghans are their descendants con
yerted to Mohammedanismf'

There is nothing new under the sun,
and not wen the modern inventor OF
artificial teeth a claim the honor of
having been the first to supply gap
toothed humanity with the subtlest of
mastication knives. This has recently
been proved by Italian antiquarians,
who have discovered false teeth in a
skull which has been ~excavated in an
ancient Etruscan cemetery with many
other curiosities at present safely slowed
away at the museum Of antiquities at
Corneto in Tuscany. The sepulcher out
of which the skull was taken dates ac-
cording to experts, from the fifth or
sixth century b. c., and the false teeth
are nothing but animal teeth attached
to the human teeth by means of small
gold plates.

AN"FE-NF 49, ..H
For an able bodied man to be caught
a third time, begging was considered a
crime deserving death, according to an
old law in England, which remained in
force for sixty years. The poor man
might not change his master at his will
or wander from place to place. II out
OF employment, preferring to be idle,
he might DO demanded for work
by any master of the craft" to which he
belonged, and compelled to work
whether he would or nc. If caught
begging once, being neither aged nor
inhrm, he was whipped at the carts
tail. II caught n second time his ear
was slit or bored through with a hot
iron. If caught a third time, being
thereby proved to be OF no use upon this
earth, but TO live upon it only to his
own hurt and TO that Of others, he suf-
fered death as a felon.

1t may be of interest 10 American ex-
porters to learn that there is in Switzer-
land a demand for turkey feathers
largely in excess Of the home supply.
The turkey does not thrive in Europe so
we'll as in its native country, and its
flesh Is apparently less esteemed rs an
article of food, but tho feathers are ex-
tensively used in the manufacture Of
busters, and recently an attempt has
been made here to utilize them, also, in
tissues used as trimmings for women's
clothing. This latter industry is, how
ever, only in its experimental stage.
Such trimmings have been for some
time manufactured in France, but it is
still uncertain whether the enterprise
will succeed here. The most of the
feathers employed for the above pur-
poses are imported from tho United
States.
