Orient and Occident.

In the Eastern world, the prince OF
to-day Is what the European prince was
two or three hundred years ago-an
arrogant person who consults his own
ease, and who thinks 1t lowers his dig
nifty to be punctual. In Western coun-
tries, princes have become to such an
extent the servants of the nation thar
they can hardly be said to have any
personal freedom. The difference be-
tween Orient and Occident in this re-
spect has been illustrated lately in the
visit of the son of the Ameer of Az
ghanistan, Nasrulla Khan by name, to
England. This young prince has been
magnificently entertained.
The first virtue of a European prince
is punctuality. He must be on hand at
any public proceeding at he very mo-
ment when he Is expected but the AT
CHAN prince holds himself subject to no
such law.
Nasrulla Khan was given "break-
fast" at London, and though the hour
was late, the prince was not ready. He
was, in fact, in bed. He was summon
ed, but refused to get up, and the
"breakfast" in his honor proceeded
without him.
A more amusing circumstance was
his late appearance at the state dinner
given him in the India House. An Of
ficer of high rank was sent to Dorches-
ter House, where the prince was stay
ing, to accompany him to the dinner.
They started in time, but on the way
passed Punch and Judy show. Mas
rulla Khan was greatly interested in
this, and insisted on getting out Of the
carriage to watch it.
The English officer respectfully pro-
tested, but the Afghan prince refused
to move from in front of the Punch and
Judy show, where he remained three
quarters of an hour, keeping the Brit
ish royal family and distinguished pub
lie functionaries waiting all that time.
When, at last, he arrived, he merely
explained that he had stopped to see
the show, deeming this quite sufficient.
Another circumstance, due to his ORR
entail training, is perhaps more to the
princes credit. Arriving ut ball which
was given In his honor, he found the
costumes of the ladies' SO improper, ac-
cordlpg to his standard. that he stead

There Is n pond in Ottawa, Kan,
that is a mystery in that, notwithstand-
ing the fact that 1t contained no water
during the protracted dry weather OF
last season, 1t is now well supplied
with sun perch and mud catfish. 1t Is
claimed that no fish have been planted
there, and 1t Is matter of conjecture
where tho present supply came from.
1t is not Mt all unlikely that before
the pond went dry last season 1t con-
talned fish and that they had deposited
their spawn, which remained fertile un-
til the pond was again filled with wat
er, when the fish which now inhabit it
were hatched. Both the mud cat and
the sun perch are rapid growers. which
fact would account for their being OF
medium size now.
