OF one who wishes Ito remember not TO

bow-knot is on top of the ring and is often
ornamented with pearl turquoise or da-

outline. The thin lines of gold between
which the pearls are set are as dainty as
cobweb beaded with dew, which the witch
cry of sunriSes presents to the ready fancy
as threads Of gold begemmed with pearls.
An enchanting little bow-kuot adds grace
to the top of the heart. At the Woman's

A PRINCE IN EXILE.
The Head of a Religious Sect-He Lives
Sfyl. NJ IL.

The Head of Religious Settle Lives
in Style at Bombay.
A Persian prince lives in Bombay, of
whom very little is heard, though he is a
power in the oriental world, lie wields
more authority than many oriental
potentates. He is at the head of the
Maulai sect of Mohammedaus who are
widely scattered over Northern India and
the regions north and east Of India. The
MaGlais regard his refugee Persian Prince
as their spiritual head or pope. Colonel
Tanner who has described the Inhabitants
OF the Himalayas recently. says that were
this prince to return to Persia he would
sIeedily lose his head, thou n he exercises
absolute spiritual authority over a vast
number of followers in the upper OXus
States in Kashmir. in Bnrmah. and even in
China. The constitute rulers of these
countries do not influence those OF their
people who are members of this religious
sect so powerfully as does this far-away
prince.
The lOwliest Maulai who wanders over the
icy plateau of the Pamir feels it his duty to
subscribe from his scanty means every year
toward a tribute TO his spiritual lord. Across
the snowy passes which lie between central
Asia and India this tribute is clrried and
delivered, regardless of the difficulties which
for many stages beset the embassies on
their Journeys.
The prince, who, by the way, is addicted
to horsc-raciDg, and is one Of the most lib
eral patrons of The Indian turf, is one of the
descendants of the original saints so com
monty regarded in Clden times by the Per
slams as persons of the greatest sanctity.
He lives in the greatest luxury. His very
large income. wholly derived from the an
nual contributions of the faithful,
enables Inn to occupy a fac palace.
He has large retinue of servants, a
stable of fine horses, and all the outward
trappings Of very important and wealthy
parsonage. He is far more fortunate than
the princes of the upper Oxus States, who,
within few years. have been passing under
the rapacious rule of the tyrant of Afghan
istan. Under one pretext or another the
leading and most influential of the upper
Oxus princes have been made way with by
the Ameer, and the rest are apparently des-
tined to meet tie same fate at the hands OF
the Afghan ally Of Great Britain, whose
hands are stepped in the BIZ cd of every man
