Afqhans Becoming Civilized.

At present over 100000 Afghan pa
tients are said to visit medical mis-
sions on the border for special treat
ment. A large proportion of these
cases are for diseases of the eye, caus-
ed by sun glare, dust storms and by
flies, especially in the case of children.
Also there are many bullet or knife
wounds which require surgical treat
ment. The mission hospital at Pesha-
war treats about 1000 patients an
nually, of which two-thirds are AT

A farmer asked a blacksmith what
he would charge to join five pieces of

smith answered, "a cent a cut. and

Washington Parish
Fair Notes.

A question has been raised as
to whether Washington Parish
should have a fair at FrankllntOn
this year because of the effects
of the war in Europe. Ordinar-
lily a war IN Europe should not
affect a country like ours, espec-
tally a war in Europe should not
affect a country like ours, es-
pecially a parish as remote as
this; but because lumber and
cotton markets are affected some
persons are conservative enough
to withhold any unusual expend-
lures of money and competitive
energy while market conditions
appear demoralized. On the
other hand some think that our
energies should be put to extra
exertion and our hopes Of better
ments determine us to accom-
plish something. Foodstuffs,
beeyes and quite q number of
products will be in greater de-
mand by reason of the war. 1t
will be but a short time before
arrangements will be made for
freight ships to be safely con-
voyed across the oceans, where
a ready market will be found.
AS for ourselves-local bride
and rivalry for excellence should
urge us to have a fair. Results
will be local in any event and the
expense will be inconsiderable,
that is, the outlay of ready cash
will not be much unless we in
tend to extend original plans.
1t had been contemplated that
we should enlarge the exposition
buildings by erecting one having
about 1000 square feet of floor
space, a grand and three minor
entrances. This might cost as
much as $500. TO this amount a
few hundred dollars are wanted
for premiums and certain eX-
penses. Therefore, the subject
being before US, shall we solicit
subscriptions for the purpose of
charging the exhibition capacity
of the halls; shall we keep within
the amount at present available,
a small hall and several hundred
dollars, or shall we give up the
notion of a fair this season?
1t seems easy to do nothing;
the LATEST man will eat the most
at barbecue, but the thrifty
man is ever ener getic and hope
full under all conditions. A ma
lority usualls decides a debatable
question. How shall we vote?
What will you do? Let every
citizen of the Parish constitute
himself q committee of one to
comnittee of one to advise re-
specting the Parish Fair for Oct
Is, Is, and H." and report his
decision or advice to the Era
LIE ader or to Dewitt f. Branch,
presi dent of the Association. at

estimated that 100000, 600 board teet
could easily be marketed outside the
islands, while the quantity exported
last year WAS less than 100000 fee''
writes Nice-Consul General Carleton.
The great trouble seems 20 be lack OF
capital to move timber from the virgin
forests. II costs much more TO log
wood in the islands than in Borneo,
where there are many rivers ayailapie
for carrying the timber from the Tor
ests to the sawmills. Prior TO the
American occupation of the Philippines
the greater part of the hardwoods used
in Hong Kong and South China ports
were imported from the Philippines.
Owing to the increased demand in Ma
nila and other portions of the islands
and the consequent rise in prices, this
trade gradually dropped off, Hong Kong
traders going TO Borneo.
The woods most frequently inquired
about are yacal. spitong, pagstpat, lum-
bayao and red lauan. The first named
is said to be particularly good for floor
ing boards; in fact, all these woods
have proved TO be excellent for general
house construction. For the construc-
ton of motor boats, lumbayao and
lauan are highly recommended for

memorial TO the man himself. A blo-
graphical preface by Mr.. Glenn Brown
and a critical note by NJ. Nerlant pre-
pare US for the tapestries, when are
reproduced in superb plates. accompa-
MED BY descriptions compiled from Mr..
Ffoulke's own memoranda. His per-
sonGl traits and his private life have
{ certain interest for the reader. Tney
show how character and Circumstance
worked together TO make him mas
ter Of mis- subject. Almost fortuitous-
" did he take his first steps into
world which through ardent industry
he was presently to make his own. His
studies and acquisitions gradually gave
him UNIQUE authority. He came 20
know all about tapestries, and when
in discoursing on them he needed an
illustration he had but 10 turn 70 his
cwn walls and overlooking cabinets.
Then there befell the predestined adj
ventur. which established his position
as a collector.
He tried. in 1889, 10 buy some of the
famous tapestries belonging TO the Bar
berini, in Rome, and was told that he
could nave all of the 1875 pieces or not
enc of them. He bought the lot, and.
of course, in later years went on buy
ing. His house became a museum, and
Il is no wonder that after a while mum
hers OF his tapestries passed into other
hands. Many of the pieces commemo-
rated in this volume are designated as
being to-day in this or that collection.
But the title of the book is the right
one. The whole glorious panorama is
indelibly stamped with the name of the
man whose enthusiasm and judgment
made il possible on this side of the
water. 1t embraces the Flemish, ltal-
ian and French schools, and in such
wise that we may study those schools
az their best. These are all master
pieces of the weaver's art, perfect
souvenirs of the great craftsmen of the
great periods. The notes are brief but
rich in the scholarly information
which can heighten our enjoyment OF
the NEUROLOGICAL subjects and the par
ticular technical points eNemplited.
Mr.. Ffoulke had hoped TO produce an
exhaustive work on his subject, book
in three volumes packed with the lore
he had accumulated in lifetime. That
boon We must forego. but both here
and in Europe the present volume will
be gratefully received in its place and
long held in honor.
