Afghan Hospitality.
From the New York Sun

If an Afghan wishes to show particu-
lar honor to his guest a portion OF the
display is very likely to be made through
the medium of the carcass of some SER
vitor who is detailed for mental service.
The head larrash is expected to honor
his masters guest by ostentatiously fog
glng his unfortunate underling around
with a stick to hurry him up. By max
ing him hop around and perform his
services in a lively, cheerful manner,
the hospitable intention is supposed to
be measurably emphasized.
An amusing exhibition Of this peculiar
phase OF Afghan life was connected with
my own arrest at Furrah. Mahmoud
Yusuph Khan, by way of apologlz!ng
Tor the unpleasant necessity of having
to send me back to Herat. was anxious
to impress upon me, in other directions,
his COCA will toward me as an indlvidu-
al. In this laudable ambition there
figured prominently his chief farrash, a
smart fellow in cloud of snowy ralment,
and a wild negro, who was TO accompany
our party to Herat in charge of the
nummud horse. The far1ash's role IN
the programme was to chase the negro
around and rain blows on him with q
long iron kabob skewer. used IN the
Afghan army for roasting kabobs on,
and the negro's duty was to receive the
castgation with. as good grace as posi-
bic. The he, 70 was wild and almost as
ugly as a gorilla, and his idea of good
grace was to scurry around ahead OF the
tarrash, make frantic rushes at the work
OF preparation. and howl loudly when
ever the kabob skewer fell across his
shoulders

The Sinking French Coast.
From the London Globe.

Just lately, on the coast Of Brittany,
one Of those geological discoveries has
been made which suggest to the mind
periods oftime making the longest hu-
man life appear but span and exhibit
ing processes quite dwarfng the most
ambitious human achievements. This
is the disclosure, by the displacement of
mass OF sand during the last high tides
of forest that must have been buried
some twenty centuries at least. The
situation is Just opposite Saint Malo,
at the foot of the cliffs of Saint Enogat
and Saint Dunaire- The forest is sup
Saint Malo to beyond Mount
Michel This discovery is considered
of great scientific interest, as it affords a
remarkable illustration of the gradual
sinking of the French shore. The
progress of this sinking during the last
1000 years is clearly shown IN an old
map found at the abbey of the Mount
Saint Michel. Within no more than
seven centuries back, as many dis seven
parishes are said to have disappeared
by the subsistence of this region. And
in the bay Of Douarnenez there is
known to have existed in the fifth cen
tury quite fiourishing town called Is.
the scene of the famous tragical legend.
EVEN now, aU low water, may Do seen
the old walls Of Is, which are called by
the inhabitants Mogber Greghi wall Of
the Greek.) The people of tie country
pretend that they can sometimes hear
the old church bells Of the submerged
city ringing with the motion of the cur
rent. French biologists estimate that
the gradual sinking of the soil of Brit
tany, Normandy, Artois, Belgium and
Holland is not less than seven feet a
century. 1T this rate it is calculated
that in about ten centuries all the chan
mel ports will be destroyed, and Paris
itself will have become maritime city.
In another ten centuries it is predicted
that the French capital will have be-
come entirely submerged, excepting,
perhaps, the tops Of the Pantheon, Of
the Arc de Triomphe and some other
monuments may be discernible at low
water by the people who will then be

OF these States conventions have been

In Delaware, California, Kentucky, Mis-
sississippi, Oregon, and Massachusetts
where State Associations have not been
formed, calls have been issued for the
purpose.
There are now :, 800 clubsi in existence
representing total enrolment OF hal
million voters. The officers OF th'
League anticipate that before the Ma
tional Convention meets there will be
5000 clubs organized with a member
ship OF one million voters.

will do good work in the campaign, jus
as organization is attended by good re

Der over /, 200, 900, or more than ten per
cent of all the Methodists in the world.

larger section OF the country's total pop
