KooSh who believe they are the de-
scendants of Alexander the Greats sol
diers; and the Mehtars, orruling princes
of Chitra1. have a particular claim to
this line of descent. The Chitral Valley
is at times spoken of as Kashkar,
which is it's older name. The people are
now Mohammedans, but they retain
many old rites and customs which were
peculiar to the locality. They are sup
posed to have been at an early period
only a branch of the Kafirs, who are
the Afghans and other tribes of the
region, they are divided into "zais" or
''khails," words equivalent to our own
term clans.
The immediate cause of the eXpedi-
ton was the outgrowth of a conflict
between two claimants to the office of
Mehtar. Amir-ul- Mulk was recently
invested with that authority, but his
uncle Imra Khan. ruler of Bajaur, in
yaded Chitral in behalf Of Sher Afzul,
who claimed the office as his right. DR..
Robertson, the British Resident at
Chitral. was friendly to Amir-ul-Mul
and Captain Ross was sent to the coun-
try by way of Gilzit to protect the Resi-
dent The little company was attacked
by a large force of Imra Khan's troops
from behind stone breastworKs and on
the cliffs above their path. They fought
during two days, endeavoring on the
second day to get back to Boni con-
stantly assailed with rifles or musketry
and with stones hurled down from the
heights. Captain Ross was struck by
large stone, and he was also shot, and
only fifteen of the fighting men sue
ceeded in getting out of the defile. The

Twain's Dilemma.

Mark Twain once expressed desire
to attend the annual dinner OF the
Gridiron Club of correspondents in
Washington; but when an invitation
was sent him, his regrets were received
by return mail. Meeting a member of
the club later, he complained that he
had been neglected. When informed
that an invitation had been sent him
and his regrets received, Mr.. Clemens
scratched his head, as though in per-
plexity for a moment, and then said:
"Those were Isaac's regrets who is
Isaac?' He's my keeper. He's the
man my wife hired to prevent me hay
ing any more fun" Mark then ex-
planned that Isaac opened all his let
tiers and invitations, wrote answers,
which in the case of invitations always
consisted of regrets, and then burned
them. When asked what is Isaac's
other name, the humorist replied, sad
ly: 81 don't know. My wife hired him,

Example: If the specifications do not
require the sheathing of the structure,
why should the contractor spend $40
for sheathing boards and labor? even
admitting that the increased strength
and warmth of the building may be
worth $500 to the owner? The sheath
ing is all covered up anyway. Or, il
the specifications do not call for the
sheathing boards to be laid close to-

save So worth of boards by following

Or if the quality of the sheathing paper
is not stated, why should he not put
ON the cheapest, saving S., perhaps.

worthless for the purpose intended? Ii
the specifications do not call for a dOu

Model of an Equestrian Statue for the
National Capital.
A statue of General Hancock is to be
erected in the autumn in Washington,
and the model now stands in the studio
of the sculptor, Mr.. Ellicott. Mr.. Eli
colt submitted. over year ago, his
model, in the sketch, to a committee,
who at once accepted the work. The
contract with the government was for
the payment of $4,000, the sculptor to
make the statue and pedestal and to
pay the expense of casting in bronze.
The pedestal will be of granite and
stand about nineteen feet high. The
height from the ground to the top of
the riders head is to be twenty-siX feet
and ten inches.
The model, as it now stands, is about
life-size and rests on circular plat
form which revolves on wheels, so that
it can be easily moved. The clay is a

figure as it now is, and when hardened
will be removed in sections and thus a
mold of the whole will be had. This
