A Willy Afohanistan.

A man was once condemned in AT.
ghanistan to have his ears sliced off as
minor punishment He had a power
full friend, however. who was much at
tached to him. This friend begged the
late ameer in duly submissive tones to
allow him to perform the operation, a
favor which was granted. However.
the amateur begged the ameer to show
him what portion Of each ear he wish
ed to be removed. The ameer accord.
ingly touched them lightly. whereupon
the ingenious and courageous person
proceeded to quote a passage in the
Koran which said that anything touch
ed by the representative Of the Al
mighty became sacred. The despot
smiled grimly and forgave them both.

Russian Art.

Before a statue is erected in Russia
II is customary to submit the design for
the approval of the people concerned.
In many cases a wooden model Of the
proposed statue is erected In the exact
spot where the complete statue is TO
stand. If the majority do not approve
of the design 1t is withdrawn and an
other is substituted. This custom has
resulted in Russia having probably the
best memorial groups and statues of
any country.
Russians call the city Of Moscow
HOY Mother Moscow" because 1t is
the center around which grew the great
empire Of the car. There are 500
churches and cathedrals in Moscow and
many hundreds of smaller shrines.
