The Word "Ksf1r.o

Very curious has been the history of
the word "Kafdr" Sir Henry Rawlin-
son once said that the loveliest oriental
lady he had ever seen was a Kaffir
slave at Kabul. When she had loosen
ed her golden hair she could cover her
self completely as with a veil. This
name of kaffir is as worldwide as
Islamism, for it is the name of ''un-
believer" applied by true Mohamme-
dams to those that refuse the faith
The Portuguese found it applied to the
negroes of east Africa by their Arab
predecessors and handed it on to the
Dutch and to the English. The Kaffir
slave at Kabul belonged to one of
those black clad mountain tribes in
the heart Of Afghanistan, who till 1895
defied their Moslem neighbors and on
their dizzy precipices gloated on their
idolatry. These Afghan Kaffirs claim
to be descended from the Greeks who
came with Alexander in his conquest
Of the east

The Eye.

Is there anything so wonderful as
the eye? l do not care how cold the
weather may be the eye never fails. In
the widest Of Montana billiards., when
the thermometer registers 80 degrees
below zero, when the feet and fingers
freeze, when the throat freezes, when
even the torso, swathed in sweaters
and chamois skin vestings, freezes when
the nose and ears are frost bitten, when
the hair even crackles In the blast
when all is lost apparently, the eyes
suffer no pain, but continue to perform
their normal functions. The people of
the most Indictment, most frigid re-
gions of the extreme north bundle up
everything but their eyes In Canada
you may have man to rush at you all
Of a sudden and slap handful of
snow on your ears or nose or mouth,
but he never attacks your eyes. The
eyes are never frost bitten. They seem
to suffer only in strong wind which
carries in its current some irritating
substance, as sand in the desert or
fine "coriander seed" in the polar re-
gions. And yet Notwithstanding this,
the eyes are the most sensitive Of our
several organs.-New York Press.

Dewey arrived at Olongapo, P. l.,

time it was in motion.
Twice the drydock was in serious
danger. Its first trouble was late in
February off the Canaries, where it
struck storm and the hausers con-
Meeting it with the towing fleet were
broken, allowing the great hulk to
go adrift. Again in the Mediterrane-
an, not far from Malta, early in April,
the dock broke loose from it's compan-
ions and foundered about for short
time.
