whether ecclesiastical, civil or GRIM
inal, were placed under him; there
was no court over him, save the ameer.
Every official in the kingdom was
placed directly under his orders.
When giving him this great power,
Abdur Rahman asked him:
when you are called upon to do
justice between men, by what light
will you be guided %
Accustomed to the fattery of an
oriental court, he expected his son to
answer, "By your example," but the
young man replied:
"By the light Of the Koran"
And if there is nothing in the
win you do then? VIII You refer it
to me O.
am appointed to judge, and will
judge
The stern old ameer applauded the
answer, and said that his son was fit
to be ruler and king.
The procedure of trials before Habi-
bullah was simple and patriarchal.
There were no lawyers and none of the
law s delays. Anybody who wanted to
see him had simply to walk into his
court and state his case. The beggar
and the prince were equal before his
throne Of justice. Both stood shoulder
to shoulder before him and stated
their grievances for his Judgment.
Once he punished his own brother,
Nasrullah Khan, on the complaint of
an artisan.
All the high officials of the kingdom
and most of the government depart
ments were placed under his control,
and the other princes Of the royal
house were taught to pay homage to
\ him as they did to the ameer. He
proved himself to be a fine soldier, q
just judge, an able administrator, and
a ruler in every way fitted to succeed
his great father.
! So it came about that when Abdur
Rahman died in 1901, Habibullah
quietly assembled the throne by gen
eral reclamation of the Afghan chiefs
and people. Such. peaceful success
sion was unprecedented in Afghan an
nails. The death of other kings had
always led to civil war, but every
body had been taught to recognize
Habibullah as the greatest man in the
country, after his father. He was the
/ logical king.

man, there was continual plottinI

Mrs. Weitzel's letters from her English

among the wealthy English women which
probably explains why American women
have taken it up. The English women

Habibullah ordered that the colonel
and. two other officers be taken into
the courtyard and forthwith hanged.
The others were reduced to the ranks.
Nor did the men escape. Those who
had killed officers were hanged and
the ringleaders were imprisoned for
a short term; but the rest were par
doned in consideration Of their provo
cation.
When Abdur Rahman heard this
story he said: :,
Praise be to Allah! My son will
be a. great king. Now I can die in
peace, for I know my country will
not miss me"
When he returned to Kabul, after
his two years absence, the ameer con-
ferred two decorations upon his son
one for his bravery in depressing
the mutiny, and the other for having
governed the country SO wisely, clev-
erly and so entirely in accordance with
my wishes
Habibullah, having been carefully
tested and found to be of sterling stuff
was given a degree Of power unpre-
cedented in Asiatic Kingdoms. Usually,
an oriental monarch fears to trust his
som with authority, lest that son
should conspire against him. Abdur
Rahman, on the contrary, trained his
son to carry on his own great work
after his death.

from his body.
The audacity of the act held the
mutineers spellbound: 1t passed their
understanding how this young man
alone and at their mercy, dared to
STAY one Of their number. While
they hesitated, Habibullah calmly
wiped his sword on the dead man S
turban and put it back into it's sheath.
Then gray-beared veteran-shouted:
Truly he is a kings son, and a
great ruler Of men! We will serve
him, brothers, and gain much glory
and honor.
The others applauded. Habibullah
gave q sharp order, and imm ediately
the murderous mob formed into a dis
ciplined battalion again. With the
prince riding at their head, they
marched to the palace, where the
trembling officers were awaiting the
news.

short life, but the delight Of owning a
piece Of real lace, made by ones self, will
keep many a weaver at the loom, and as
the pattern grows under her fingers the
interest will not flag until the required
number of yards have been finished and
the little roll taken from the holder.
Mrs. L. E. Weitzel is perhaps the most
skilful Of the Minneapolis weavers, but
she has known of lace making since her
childhood and altho she never actually
handled a loom until this fall, she has
known how the lace was made. Mrs.

told by an old servant who belonged to the
lace makers of Devonshire. She was one
of the village weavers each of whom had
woven a sprig for the wedding gown of the
princess royal, who later became empress
Of Germany. Mrs. Weitzel married and
came to America and forgot the old lace
weaver until she found this new and fas-
cinating fancy work this summer.

Horsepower in America.

From the Boston Herald.
It would be difficult to obtain better proof
OF the great Industrial advancement of the
United States than is furnished by the fact
that there is employed in the United States
one horsepower in manufacturing establish
ments for each seven Of the population, and
that ten years ago the figure was one to
ten. and twenty years ago one to fourteen.
1t is estimated that the horsepower now
available in this country for manufacturing
purposes foots UP to the enormous total Of
II, 100000 This is almost double the figures
of ten years previous. which were less than
100000. while twenty years ago the total
was less than three and a half millions.
Not only has the power that can be util-
lied in our manufactures increased with
cur population. but 1t has actually ad-
vanced in greater ratio than have the num-
Der of workers. These figures. be it under
featuring, and they make no account Of
the locomotives on railways or Of the power
in electric light plants or other similar es-
adjustments. OF this total engine power,
fully three-fourths Is obtained from steam.
Water power provides for perhaps Is per
cent and the rest Is divided among miscel-
laneous sources OF mechanical power. While
electricity is now credited with only small
per cent. the growth In the use Of this
power is remarkable. and 1t bids fair at no
far distant time to rank second only to
steam. According to the figures Of the last
census. there were employed in manufactur-
ing ard mechanical pursuits in the United
showing there would be over one and one
half horsepower available for the use OF
every person employed In the manufacture
ing Industries of our country.
