departure of Kabul and Bokhars, as its
history reminds. you that the old winter
capital OF the Afghan court is still a
stronghold of fanaticism that has not
caused to scowl still longs TO strike. 1t
is now several years since the last
murder of a sahib. Upon that occa-
sion the station master, a worthy man
of middle age, walked up and down his
own platform, unaware that Ghazi
from the border was following his
shadow and studying his back, medi-
tating the exact spot to drive at with a
curved knife. At that point his life was
saved by the accident which exchanged
it for another. A young British officer
appeared on the platform, and the fana-
tic, at the sight of a victim more to his
mind, dropped the station master and
killed the subaltern.
One of the features of Peshawur is
the tall obelisk amid the shady foliage
of the Mall raised to the memory of the
British Commissioner of the city, who
was struck down in 1858. The I'M
attended visitor who has walked about
the bazaar will confess, If he is candid,
that it always gives him a slight sense
of satisfaction when he gets back to the
Edwardes Gate, to have escaped the
personal sensation Of six inches Of
steel between the shoulders. But the
Whit of danger in the air increases the
fascination of tour across the most
characteristic and picturesque region in
Asia. From the whitewashed top Of
the old Buddhist tower, called the Cor
Khattri you look across labyrinth Of
timbered facades and khaki roofs
plastered with mud. The narrow
streets run between houses built of
small fiat bricks, filling in a framework
of wooden uprights and crossbeams,
which show in squares, and give a
certain distant and dingy touch of
Elizabethan chared with-sIiding panels,
and when they are suddenly pushed up
by yelled ladies it is like the opening
of cupboard doors in tales of intrigue.
High wooden ratings surround the open
galleries on the roofs. Below the
craftmen ply their trades and the
merchants show their wares. But the
chief attractions of PeshaMur are the
people and the traffic in its streets.
Long strings of camels and mules pass
through the bazaars when the caravans
come in from the Khyher or set out for
Kabul. The fierce faced crowd, iilwhite
turbans and ample folds, is formed of
men free of gait and savage of hand,
with neither fear nor friendship in their
eyes when European moves among
them. s. ~a." A..

1t is an interesting and sometimes an
important question how far the author
ity of school-teacher over pupils ex-
tends. That question has been brought
to test in Detroit and it has been de-
cided that teacher can issue and en-
force rule requiring children to go
right home from school and not loiter
on the way. In this case the children
were in the habit of stopping in
candy store and spending their pen
MES, and the order to them not to stop
resulted in large loss of business to
the dealer. He thought that the teach
err had exceeded her authority and
sued for damages on account of the
injury done by the enforcement of the
rule to his business. The case was
carried to the Supreme court of the
State and the rule of the teacher was
sustained. Judge Grant in his opin-
ion found that Parents have a right
to understand that their children will
be promptly sent home after school,
and to believe that something unto
ward has happened when they do not
return in time. In no other way can
parents and teachers act in harmony to
protect children from bad influences,
bad companionship, and bad morals"
This is good sense, and if it is good
law in Michigan perhaps it is in other
States.

sion: Here, believe, is evidence of

Catholic church and the Jewish syna-
gogue, strange substitutions for the
stately village meeting house; they may
fill the ancient homesteads with odd
seeming inhabitants, very different
from the Puritans who built them; they
may transplant to New England hill

Europe; but they know how to get a
livelihood out of sterile SOIL and they
know how to live and thrive and null
tiply on an income that means less than
subsistence to the native born. Best of
all, the influx of new blood, new
strength, new courage and new ambi-

The Holy Synod in Russia has just
completed the canonization Of a new
saint, Father Seraphim of the Saroff
monastery, who only died seventy years
ago. The stories of the wonders which
he wrought were so many and varied
that special commission was appoint
ed in 1892 to investigate them and find
out how many of them had any basis in
fact Although the father had been
dead for sixty years, the commissioners
appear to have had no difficulty in find
ing an abundance of testimony suffi-
GENTLY satisfactory for their purpose.
They did not report until last August,
but by that time they had a list of
ninety-four miracles, supported in most
cases by enthusiastic witnesses. More
over, they found in the Saroff monas-
terry vast accumulation of letters from
men and women who professed to have
been benefited miraculously by the
good brothers ministrations. Where
fore, the Holy Synod decided that here
after he shall be a saint, so far as it is
in their power to make him one, and his
body is to be regarded hereafter as a
sacred relic and is to be preserved in a
special casket contributed by the en-
peror for that purpose.
