BOKHARA AND KHIVA,
Two Semi Independent AsiatIe
states whose Rulers Talk of VS.
tting EurOpe's Capitals.

The eastern section Of Turkestan be-
tween the Aral sea and the Chinese
frontier is divided politically between
the Russian territory and the still
semi-independent Khanates Of Box
hara and Khiva. Though nominaIIy
self-governing they are both. however,
under the suzerainty of Russia. The
state of Bokhara was founded by the
Usbegs in the fifteenth century. The
present ruler belongs to tie dynasty
of Manguts. and dates from the end Of
the eighteenth century. In 1856 the
late Ameer Mir Muzaffared-din pro-
claimed holy war against the Rus
slams. who thereupon invaded his do
miniOns, forced him TO cede certain ter
ritory and pay an indemnity, while IN
1873 further treaty was signed, in
which the state was made practically
Russian dependency. The population
Of Bokhara dwindled considerably up
TO 1880, but the Trans-Caspian railway
has done much for the state lately,
though it suffers considerably from
loss of water from the Upper Zaraf-
shan, the Russians drawing it off in
ever increasing quantities for their ir-
rigation works at Samarkand. The
reigning sovereign is the Ameer Sayid
Abdul Ahad, fourth son of the late
ameer by a slave girl. He was born
about ] $50. was educated in Russia. and
succeeded in 1855. The heir is his son
ssYid Mir Aim Khan. born January 3,
1850. The ameer has about 10000
TROOPS largely Russian drilled. The
khan of Khiva. Seyd Mahomed Rahim
Khan, came TO the throne in 1865.
Khiva founded, like Bokhara, on the ru-
ins of Tamerlane's Central Asian EN-.
pire. has long been under Russian con-
troll. II is less than a quarter the size
of the other state. and supports an
army of some 1000 men.

The Rose.

At all times the rose has enjoyed pc
culiar favor as q sacred flower. Mo-
hammedan tradition says that when
Saladin captured Jerusalem he refused
to enter the shrine of the temple which
had been converted into church by
the Crusaders till the walls had been
thoroughly cieansed and purified with
rosewater. A similar story is told of
the Church of st. Sophia, at CONSTANT
nople, when transformed frcSn Chris
tian place of worship to Moham-
medan mosque. The origin of the rose,
according to Moslem tradition, is that
the blood of the prophet sprang into
new life in this glorious { . flow
er. To this day when Turk sees a
rose lying ON the ground he will raise
it tenderly, kiss it reverently and de-
posit the frail blossom in some place
of safety.

The difference between venom and n
virus is very marked. Both are poi
sons and both of organic origin, but a
venom is produced in secreting organs,
commonly called poison glands, and is
introduced into the system by means
especially adapted for the purpose,
such as stings or fangs. On the other
hand. virus is the result of disease or
putrefaction and generally possesses
the property of exciting in the system
into which it is introduced the disease
which produced the virus. A virus
commonly produces little If any local
disturbance. \ venom generally causes
great pain, often severe Inflammation
and swelling. Venom has a marked To-
cal effect. Virus causes a general dis
turbance of the system.

was dear and beloved by you, for your
obedience and for your faithful dis
charge of duty, all of which serves the
honor and glory of the Afrikander peo-
pie. We counsel you all to acquesce in

Among the odd habits of rocks is the
way that members of the same rookery
have of iNermarryiug generation after
generation. The males always choose
their wives from among their near
neighbors, and if one should be so bold
as to bring home to his rookery bride
from distance the other rocks will in
variably refuse to receive her and will
force the pair TO build some way off.
In the neighborhood of big rookeries
