THE Jolly AMEER.
AbdurFnhman, Of Afghnnistnn, IL
One OF the Most Original Of
Living Rulers.

The most interesting ruler in the
world at present IS, probably, Abdur-
rahman of Afghanistan.
a fine old-crusted autocrat Is Abdur-
rahman, capable Of waking up his doc
tor to ask him If It would hurt him to
eat q peppermint lozenge, and also
shutting up q thief IN an iron cage to
starve TO death.
Once "a beggar in Kabdul asked aims
Of the khan.
"Did you ever work for living?"
asked the ruler.
Never o khan" the man replied;
Il am a beggar."
"Then," said Abdurrahman, 'we can
90 without you," and forthwith direct
ed that the beggar should be hanged.
He SIS, however, susceptible TO flntteryi

ton happened to be a friend of his chief
secretary, who averted the mutilation
by offering to perform the task himself,
provided it might be done IN the
ameer's presence.
To this he nssented, whereupon the
secretary explained that he had never
executed this form Of punishment be-
fore, and would his highness show how
much was to be removed.
The ameer passed his hands over both
ears Of the trembling wretch,
whereupon the secretary reminded him
of a passage IN the Koran showing that
anything touched by the representative
Of the Almighty became sacred. So the
ears were saved.
Afghanistan is anything but back
ward, as Asiatic countries GO. There
Is q modern factory In Kabul run Ly

which turns out daily 10000 Martini
Henry cartridges and 10000 SnideI
cartridges, finished and complete; 90
Martini-IIenry and 20 snider rifles; 5o,'

Khan, who came from distance, called
on Sir Salters Pyne and said:
"How do you make guns?"

iron around it."
"Ah." he said, sorrowfully, "there Is

Who Crow TO Warn Late

"The cry OF 'coclS-a-dOodle-doo,' in
imitation of the growing rooster" says
an observant resident Of Maryland,
has been put to good use in my section
of the state. Some months ago party
otyoung people came to the conclusion
that 80 would be well TO give counting
couples a hint that the hour was grow

houses IN which lights in the parlor
indicated that sweet things were being
said At first the growing was not In
dulged IN until IL o'clock arrived, bat
during the winter evenings, when
nights were long, the hour was antici-
pated, and recently bellies and beaux
who feared TO be crowed at have closed
their sessions by ten o'clock. The boys
however, have not ceased to crow, and
many as they drive along the roads
make a practice Of growing If they
see O light in a house after nine o'clock
The chickens themselves have been ed
ucated by this practice, and the cocks
which heretofore have remained quief
tlll after midnight now commence
growing at any hour after nightfall q
they hear a horse trotting along III,
