although treaty was signed in the
Forbidden City, Lassa, 1t is admitted
that the success of the enterprise was
not unaccompanied by serious incon-
veniences.
Late in November a British mission
was dispatched to Kabul, the capital
city of Afghanistan, where better luck
is believed to have attended it. The
mission is headed by Louis Dane, For
eign Secretary for Simla, who is ac-
companied by II. Il. Dobbs, his secre-
tary; Major w. Madison, X. A: Cap
tain Victor Brooke, Ninth Lancers, and
a British doctor. The necessity for
this visit arises from the fact that the
agreement made with the late Amir,
Abdurrahman, terminated at his death
in 1901. Since that time the son and
successor of the late Amir, Habibullah
has been proving himself loyal to Brit
ish interests in the absence of any
binding documents. He has repeated
ly dispatched assurances to the Viceroy
of India of his devotion to the British
Nevertheless, it was considered that
his affection would be more convincing
II he set his royal hand and seal
to it.
Several matters need discussion, and
one of them is the question of the
British subsidy, to which the Amir is
entitled. The present Amir has not
drawn the annual subsidy of 10000
rupees about $sO,OO0) since he ascend.

agreement with the British, and die

life in Afghanistan is not expensive.

Few parts of the British Empire
have caused Great Britain the anxiety
she continues to feel about her Indian
possessions, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. Every movement Russia has
made in Central Asia looking toward
the concentra ton of the innumerable
States added by force to the Russian
Empire has been watched from the
Indian frontier by argus-eyed Britons.
Both Russia and England have made
careful surveys of the frontiers, and
each government has built and cOntin-
ues to build strategic railroads along
the enormous and difficult boundaries.
Russia is known to have long been in
possession of several plans for a de-
scent upon India. and the British have
for years been evolving quite as many
plans intended to checkmate any move

the size of the United Kingdom, and
has a population of about 100000,
has been an Independent State since
the middle of the eighteenth century,
prior to which time it was part of Per
STA, while its province of Kabul was in
the Mogu Empire. 1t Is walled in by
some of the highest mountains in the
world which almost completely sur
round it, leaving less than half dozen
so-called passes by which the coun-
try may be entered. Only half of these
are of use for strategic purposes, and
even they are so treacherously stu
ated that a large army might be ami
hilated by comparatively small force
The Afghans, all of whom are Mo
hammedans, are warlike people,
which fact. added to their strong po-
sition, renders their independence COM
paratively safe. England has burned
her fingers more than once in dealing
with the Afghans, and Russia has not
succeeded in winning them over, al
though she has spent a quarter of a
century cOaXing.
There are few countries on the
globe, not excepting Tibet, which are
more inhospitable to foreigners than
Afghanistan. Placed by nature as a
buffer between two powerful rivals,
Afghanistan is a country where every
one is suspected as a spy of either
Russia or the British. In Kabul there
are no foreigners. The last one was a

Orange Marmalade.

Take six large oranges, and the skin
of four lemons, reserving the pulp and
juice of lemons, and just covering and
keeping covered with water; boil slow
ly for two hours; at the end of that
time take them out, and boil the water
down to one quart; when cool remove
all seed, and chop fine the oranges,
lemon skin and pulp, and boil with the
quart of water and ten pounds Of
graduated sugar thirty minutes. Be
careful not to allow it to burn, as so
much sugar is apt to do. When cool
pour it into jelly glasses. If it is de-
sired to have it more solid or firm,
soak one box of gelatine in the cold
water to be used for an hour before
placing on the stove.

NEW SPRING SUSPENSION
FOR AUTOMOBILES.

Louis A. Bill, of Washington. d. c.,
is the inventor of a spring suspension
system for automobile frames where
by there is supposed to be a greater
ability of the springs TO absorb the
vibration and varying thrust from
both the motor and the road. The con-
struction consists Of four semi-ellipti-
cal springs placed upon the aXles in
the usual manner, with their outer
ends hinged to the ordinary frame
extensions The inner ends of the semi.
elliptical springs, however, are
shackled to the ends of side springs
fastened at their centers to the side
members of the running gear frame.
1t is claimed that in effect the rear
halves of the rear springs and the
front halves of the front springs are
comparatively rigid, while the spring
portions between the axles are ex
tremely flexible. The inventor claims
that the system adapts itself to cars
of all weights and wheel bases, anC
that as the wheel base increases the
compensating spring between the enc
springs is naturally increased in the
correct proportion.

Milk Toast.

All do not know that milk toast is
more tasteful If the bread is toasted
evenly and more thoroughly than for
dry or buttered toast, and the milk
has a teaspoonful of sugar added, and
the same amount of -four and butter
rubbed together for thickening. In
serving put one layer of toast in the
hot dish and pour little of the milk
over it, and repeat until the dish is
full. Do not let the toast soak, as it
is not nearly so nice as when it is
first made.

The first step toward the forma ton

international postal congress. This

two countries joined the union, includ-
ing the whole of Europe. A second
congress met in Paris in 1873, when
ten other countries came in, and the
official title, international Postal
Union," was definitely fixed. It's

that living In the capital Is like being

A British agent, a Mohammedan of

the North Pole for all he is allowed

dares visit him, and the only oppor-

is to be present once in a while at a
