Mansion Occupies a Block.

His imperial highness resides in an ar
tistic but modest mansion in the center
OF the city not far from the vceroy, and
occupies an entire block of ground, in
closed by a lofty iron fence painted a
bright scarlet. At each corner of the
ground is one-story building of gray
brick with window frames, doors ana
trimmings and all wood work painted the
same vivid color. At one corner is sta
HE, an attractive piece of architecture.
The outside walls are ornamented with
medallons in stone from which project
the heads of horses. and each of them is
portrait of favorite animal of the owner.
All the wood work about the stable is
painted red. There is no other color of
paint the place. which is all 1.-THE more
striking because of the dense green foliage
which rises from behind the scarlet fence.
There is well cultivated vegetable and
flower garden and orchard of fruit trees,
a tennis court. d bowling green and d cro-
cuet ground, all of them very attractive,
and the rest of the block is covered with
splendid trees none more than fifty years
old, but all of them as large as if they
had been growing for five centuries.
On the outside of the fence, on the side
walk, are wooden benches such as YOU
see in public parks, and they are painted
red also. They are intended to furnish
place where tired peasants who pass that
way in a continuous procession during the
hours of daylight between the country and
the markets of Tashkend may sit down
for while and rest. This is one of the
idiosyncrasies of the owner: one instance
of his thoughtfulness for the comfort and
welfare of the poor. and they call him a
crank.
His charity for his fellow who have
been very severe in their criticism Of his
conduct is all the more generous because
II is applied 10 other races as well as to
his own, and he spends ten times as much
money for the welfare of others as he
does for himself.

Mohammedans Control Schools.

The Russians are not doing anything
directly in the way of educating the ma
tives of central Asia but are leaving the
schools in the native cities in the hands
of the Mohammedan mulahs as formerly.
There are two kinds of schools. A makh
tab parish school for primary In
struction in reading. writing and arith-
metic. taught by priest, is found in con-
nection with almost every mosque
Medresses are theological seminaries at
which religion and Koran law are taught
by higher grade of ecclesiastics. There
are seventeen medresses in Tashkend and
several times that number in Samarkand
and Bokhara For ages both those cities
have mad high regulations as ducational
centers and for the scholarship OF their
priests.
Nearly all OF the Makhtabs are sup
ported by voluntary contributions from
the parents OF the pupils, according to
their means, varying from d few ko-
peckS TO few rubles year, with spe-
cial gifts in the form of loaves of bread,
packages of rice. dried fish and other pro-
visions on Thursdays. There is no en-
enlargement for An educated man to be-
come a teacher, however, because the
compensation of the best Of them never
exceeds Fl hundred dollars a year, and the
average income OF teacher is not more
than so.

rASHkEND. Turkestan, July - 1910.
The most interesting individual in Tash-
kend--evcn more interesting than the
viccroy or his deputy-is the Grand Duke
Constantine Nicholaiovitch. second cou-
sin of Emperor Nicholas and a grandson
of Nicholas l. the iron car. He was
banished to Turkestan about twenty
years ago because of terrible scandal,
and aftcrward aggravated his offense by
marrying the daughter of the chief of
police Of Orenberg. He is allowed TO go
about freely in the province, but must
always ask the permission of the vice
roy, which, of course, is equivalent TO
ticket of leave, and is a terrible humlia-
lion to any man of high degree. He is
not allowed TO wear uniform because he
vas a disgrace TO the army, and that is
an even greater cause OF modification
than the other.
He has tried in vain TO persuade Men
olaS III to revoke or modify the edict of
exile pronounced upon him by Alexander
III, but cannot even get permission 10
visit st. Petersburg. When his father
died, some years ago. he was not allowed
10 attend the funeral
1t is said that his troubles have weak
ened his mind and people consider MN
crank, but OF very good sort.

Students PAY Nominal Fees.

The students at the medresses pay
small fees TO their professors, whose main
support. however. comes from revenues
from lands and other property given as
endo wments during the past centuries
The fees of the students are merely
nominal No professor could live upon
them. but he shares with his students
the gifts of food that are sent in by their
families and in the use of their pocket
money, which varies in amount according
to the financial condition of the parents
Some of the medresses are rich and the
professors enjoy good incomes. and all OF
them receive as much compensation as
they are entitled to from modern point
OF view.
Education in Mohammedan countries is
at the lowest stage of inefficiency that it
has ever reached, and that fact is being
realized TO a degree that is painful by
the intelligent and progressive members
of that faith. Tie instruction now given
at the medresses is purely formal and
consists OF explanations of various SEN
fences in the Koran, which student for
the Mohan medan ministry is expected to

learn by heart. A man who can recite
the whole Of the Koran offhand is called
hafiz. and is regarded as an eminent
scholar, similar to a doctor of divinity
or doctor of laws with us, but the &C
complishment is purely one of memory
and many do not have the slightest idea
of the meaning of the words they repeat.
Prepare for Duties of Judgeship.
After committing the Koran to mem
DRY there are twenty EIGHT books chiefly
commentaries, which must also be COM
mitted to memory. When that is accom-
plished the student is prepared to adj
minister the law and become a kazs or
judge. The judicial system of the native
towns of central Asia is founded on the
shariat or teachings of the Koran In
most of the courts the proceedings are
entirely oral; no record is kept. and no
appeal can be taken. No difference is
made between civil and criminal causes.
All crimes are not viewed in their relation
to the public, but merely to the person
injured. and are punished accordingly
Kazis or judges are appointed for life by
the khan, after an examination upon the
shariat, and the decisions and common
taries which they have committed to
memory in the medresse AS all law is
based upon the Mohammedan bible, any
person who is qualified to practice in the
courts or sit as judge is equally COM
petent TO serve a priest. 1t is difficult
for European to understand the dis
tinction between the legal fraternity and
the ecclesiastics.
Kazi Retain Jurisdiction.
The Russians have shown their wis
dom by not interfering with the native
courts. The kazi are still permitted to
have Jurisdiction over ordinary suits, in
which natives alone are involved and
try them according to the sharat; but.
wherever a foreigner is involved, the case
goes before Russian court. The Russians
have thus avoided the mistake that the
English made in India when they abol-
ished the native courts and referred all
litigation to modern tribunals. The Mus
seman code, which is simply the Koran
answers all the needs of Musselman COM
munites, although il would break up our
whole system of litigation if the Chris
tan courts administered justice accord
ing to the teachings of the Bible.
