SIMPLE AND COURTLY
Adjective Applied to The New Amer
of Afghanistan.
Not by Native FIatterers, But by an
English Lady Physician, Who
Has known Him Ever Since
Childhood.

The accession of Habibullah to the
rulership of Afghanistan is subjecting
the character of the youth to the
closest scrutiny upon the part of in
terested powers. Whether he will be
strong enough to follow out the pol
icy of his father, Abdur Rahman, re-
mains to be seen. A weak man, or
one who turns to Russia, is likely
soon to precipitate the long-threat-
ened conflict in the far east.
Extracts from recently published
sketch written by DR.. Lillian Hamil-
ton, who for several years was the
physician of the late ameer's house
hold, are herewith reproduced:
In 1883, when the father set out for
Afghan Turkcstan to punish the re-
bellon of his cousin Ishall, Prince
Habibullah Khan, his eldest son,
then a boy of only 16, was left to
ofiiciate during his absence, and the
period of his rule in Cabul was
marked as one of special prosperity
and repose. Many causes may have
contributed to this happy result, but

princes own disposition. He has,
indeed, so far seemed to combine in
his person most of the best qualities
of his immediate ancestors without
their faults-the shrewd common
sense, simplicity and courtly man
ners of Dost Mohamed without his
Quixotic chivalry, the piety and re-
ligious aspirations of Mohamed Afzul
without his weakness, and the ready
wit, tact and keen perception of Abb
dur Rahman without his violence and
cruelty. The one question that still
remains unanswered is that of pow
er. Is he also strong? Popular he
certainly is at present, but without
strength in such country no one
can even hope to remain in favor. At
present it is impossible to answer
this with any authority.
Education" he has said, sis the
cause of the prosperity of England.
Why, the commonest workman in
England becomes a master when
transported to this country" Prince

est son, but has already acted

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

nROF. STARRETT, of the Upper
Midland university faculty, a pol
ished gentleman of the highest intel
lectual attainments, a widower with
one child-a daughter whose age
was 90 years, and whose charms,
both mental and physical, had
driven more than one young man
to the verge of poetry - was in
a quandary. He scratched his nose
delicately with the blunt end of
his pencil, and permitted a frown to
wrinkle the usually calm surface of his
white forehead. The desk, upon which
he rested one elbow, was strewn with
literature pertaining to the Pan-Amer-
lean exposition. In his left hand, pend
ant at his side, was a letter just re-
ceived from a friend of his boyhood,
now the general passenger agent of a
great railway. The letter was one
practical in its cordiality. 1t begged
the professor to accept, for old times
sake, a pass to Buffalo and return for
himself and daughter.

in a quandary is difficult to understand

over, as the ameer's health declined,
gradually had more and more au-
thority placed in his hands.
Until recent years-until, indeed,
they were put down by Abdur Rah-
man-bloody feuds and the law of re-
taliation, and the raids which they
occasioned, were universal through
out the whole of Afghanistan.
Every chief was at war with his
neighbors or most of them, and the
daughters of man of older lineage
might often be found to be slaves in
the households of these various rob-
Der chieftains. Thus it came about
that the daughter of the Mir of Fly
zabad was taken prisoner by Mir
Jahander, shah of Turkistan, and
being very pretty, was kept in the
house and brought up with his own
daughter till she should be old
enough for him to marry her. Jo-
handler Shah, however, died before
that time arrived, and when his
daughter Decame Apuur hanman

attracted no doubt by her beauty,
which is still, even as an old lady,
quite out of the common, married
her with the sanction-almost at the
request-of Jahander Shah's daugh-
ter, who had no children of her own,
and who, like all eastern wives, was
most anxious to have "children in
her house." as they would say. This
daughter of the Mir of Fyzabad is
the mother of Prince Habibullah and
Prince Nasrullah, and is scion Of
one of the most ancient families of
AfghaniStan.

in a Quandary. His daughter was
infatuated with a young student
whose name was Ropp. The name
was in itself sufficient to arouse
an unreasonable prejudice in the
breast of a highly-strung individ-
ual like the professor, even had there
been nothing else against the young
man, which there was. He displayed
more enthusia SIN for athletics than for
Greek; he was given to playing first
fiddle at high jinks, parties, from which
statement it must be inferred that he
was a violinist; he was irreverent in
his demeanor toward his elders; he
cracked jokes out of football season,
and during the season cracked heads;
On short, he was a savage. The pro-
fessor was compelled to acknowledge
In his more reasonable moments that
there was wonderful charm about the
young fellow, and it is to be admitted
guardedly that had the presumptuous
rascal not fallen in love with the pro-
fessor's daughter, and, what was
worse, caused the professors daugh-
ter to fall in love with him, the profess
sor would have had not a word to say
against him. The truth is that the
professors dislike was a matter of
Jealousy, as events conclusively proved.

There are well-fcunded reports of
excessive marriage charges on the part
of the clergy in the interior of Mexico,
where young men are sized up to see
what they will stand. Thus the per-
Torrance Ct the religious ceremony OF
marriage is discouraged. In some cases
sensible grooms have refused to pay
from $500 to $500, and have gone to
the United States, where prizes were
happy to perform the religious cere-
mony for $25 gold. Or, say $50 silver.

matizes children and provides for the
due and orderly inheritance of prop
erty, is always in order, and many peo-
pie are contenting themselves with

Canada, is now in her seventy-fifth
year and has enjoyed excellent health
and spirits almost all the years of her
life. The widow of the great soldier
and president was born at ST. Louis,
the daughter of Frederick and Ellen
Dent. 1t was soon after her gradua-
ton from a boarding school that the
charming Miss Dent met and captured
the heart of the then Lieut.. Grant, who
was stationed at st. Louis. The mar
rage took place on August %, 1S4S.

his wife accompanied him on his trip
around the world and shared in all the
honors bestowed on the hero of the

Beware of Appearances.

Two practical jollers once, when at
a railway station, observed a rustic
looking parsonage, who stood gaping
around at everybody and everything
in evident astonishment.
Thinking to have some fun, they
walked up, and, stationing themselves
on each side of him, proceeded to
have their sport.

or an ass?"

The door closed softly. He was
alone. Sighfully he gathered together
the literature pertaining to the Pan
Amer lean exposition and pulled down
the rolling top of his desk, locking it.
That night he was on his way to Buff
falo.
1t was like the professor to act thus
abruptly. Foresight was not one of
his strong points. He was subject to
intervals of what he lightly termed
lapsus mentalis, which is commonly
known as absene of mind. Further
more, he was given to jumping blindly
in practical matters. And he was a suf-
ferer from some sort of a skin malady,
resembling eczema, which came out
upon the small of his back and itched
distractingly when he was in his bed
at night. Life was not all a dream to
the professor, despite his dreaminess.
He arrived at Buffalo just as the even
ing shadows were falling. He was
dirty and exceedingly fatigued. Five
hotels he visited, directed by kindly
policemen, before he found a place
wherein to stretch his mortal frame.
At the fifth hotel they told him that if
he had no objection to sleeping double,
they could accommodate him, and he
gladly accepted the terms, going i'm
mediately to bed.
He was exceedingly fatigued, as has
been said, and naturally his sleep was
sound, although not free from dreams.
Tho L.. e.
from dreams, whether waking or sleep
ing. And throughout the night he imag-
ined himself scratching, scratching,
scratching, to allay the distracting
itching caused by the skin malady upon
his back. The itching was still unal-
layed when he opened his eyes in the
morning and looked into the face Of
his bed-fellow.
"Well, WE'LL" CALCULATED the profes.
sor, and essayed to arise hastily.
But the movement awakened his bed
fellow, who raised himself upon his
elbow, smiling.
Good morning, Prof. Starrett," he
said.
Good morning, Mr.. Ropp," returned
the professor, stif1y.
81 trust you rested well, sir"
1t has been said that the professor
was not adept in the art of dissem-
bling. "No, sir, did not" he said
frankly, and with some asperity; "my
back troubled me a great deal, and l
dare say I scratched it raw"
He drew on his trousers, and took
a hand mirror from his grip, holding it
before him while he backed towards
the mirror upon the wall.
"Why!" he exclaimed, "there is not a
scratch mark there! I must have
| dreamed it."
The young man offered no opinion
but suddenly he sat up in bed and
pulled his nightshirt over his head, pre-
senting his back to the professors
view.
