ROUTES 10 GHANZI AND KANDAHAR Would Only Be Used, However, in Case of Great Necessity. DANGERS OF THE PASSES Reports received in this country of the situation in India would seem to indicate that the two principal passes leading into Afghanistan being now in the hands of the rebellious natives, commerce with that ccuntry has practically stopped, and until the passes are opened it will be useles« for the Eritish to try to punish the Ameer of Afghanistan, if they are so minded. This is not the case, however, as a g!ance at the accompanying map, the property of Col. Frank F. Hilder, late of her majesty’s forces in India, will show. It is true that the Afridis are in control of all the stations in the Khyber and Kehat passes, though dispatches would seem to indicate that they have deserted the passes, but it is also true that there are two other passes, the one having for its ultimate object the city of Kandahar an] the other the city of Ghazni. There is a mountain read running from Kandahar, through Ghazni, through to Cail, the capital of Afghanistan, and by this means it is pes- sible for the British for to take the Afridis the rear. Thi. dis the one which was made celebrated by Lord erick Roberts’ marc os is not likely to b tary pur- p except in tase of great necessity. Passes Are Very Valunble. Accerding to Col. Hilder, these pas are of great service, and constitute a fea- ture of the situation that has not as yet been taken serious!y into consideradon. England sends mi ef dollars’ worth of manufactured every year into Afehanistan, p supplying that coustry, and, in buys enormous quantities of wool, cally supplying © looms of India by this means, and hay- ing left a good deal of the raw material to send hom to the mo’ r coun .

From the Philadelphia Record. Many mothers are now anxiously begin- ning to plan outfits necessary for their daughters who are <out to enter their freshman year at college. It is first of all important for a girl to have a goif cape or loose wrap of some kind, that she may throw around her hurriedly in her numer- ous journeys from hall to class room, as the campus must usually be crossed in go- ing from one building to another. A soft hat of the Tam O'Shanter style, simple and without trimming, is also necessary. Two or three woolen shirt waists or Norfolk jackets, simply but strongly made, aud cne or two skirts to wear with them, must be prepared for ever: ‘y wear. One good woolen dress for church or street wear and a more Cressy woolen g3wn for small afternoon receptions or teas will be found necessary. Two evening dresses will be sufficient, one of light woolen material, the other of a more dressy goods, will give a girl the satisfaction of Knowing that she may be properly gowned for any occasion which may arise, and these occasions are , for many celebrities visit the S$ at times, and the students are in- troduced and impromptu receptions fre- quently held. Do not neglect to provide a loose Wrapper, and at least two warm dressing sacks; these will prove a great convenience When study hour comes around, and may be slipped on when in the private siudy. A mackintosh is an Important adjunct to a well-planned wardrobe, and rubbers and umbrella must not be overlooked or neglected. In most colleges a gymnasium suit is required. This may be made of blue serge or mixed goods of any kind. Pat- € suits may be purchased. eS require the students to wear a cap and gown. to order at ‘These may be made the callege by & person who ands taking measuremencs and so These measurements are usually taken a Week or two after the freshman enters the college. a r, it is not wise to provide too great an amount. Six of each worn will prove an ample supply. 2 bills are usually looked itis w two black shirts for everyday wear. Two pairs of calfskin Shoes for everyday wear and a pair of dongola or kid shoes nd a pair of low shoes or slippers will ample provision, unles usually hard on h-r shoes, A subject will not come amiss. doubt aa economical plan to have made to order by a good shoemaker. These shoes will weer almo: as long as the ready-made shoes, and cost but $1 a pair more than those bought in the In most colleges the rooms are with a single bed (the college furnishing all bedding, sheets, towels, napkins, «-., unless otherwise stated), ‘bareau, wash- stand, two chairs (one plain and one rock- er), a study table, lamp and bookcase. It is best to get the measurements of bureau, washstand and table, so that you may pro- vide yourself with such covers as you may desire. Two or three tea cloths will be found necessary to those who wish to oc- casionally entertain their girl friends at an afternoon tea in their own rooms. Of course, whatever knick-knacks are de- sired must’ be brought from home, but do not overdo this matter, for if your time is to pe devoted to your work you will not feel like taking the time necessary to keep such things in presentable order, and while the servants employed take all reasonable care of the rooms they cannot be expected to give more than a certain amount of time to each apartment. The articles mentioned in this list will prove all ‘that are necessary for the ususl school year, with the exception of two or three cotton shirt waists for warm. tall days or early spring. Tt is certainly not advisable to provide an overabundance of dresses, but let those provided he of good material and strongly ade. The average girl strikes terror to he heart of her mother when upon her return the wrecks of once beautiful sar- ments are taken from her trunks. Those mothers’ who are initiated usually have made during the daughter's absence from home ha!f a dozen new under: ments of each kind, ready to replace thos which from want of care require more time than can be spared during the short holi- days, the old garments being retained to be repaired at leisure. A small work basket well supplied should find a place in the well-filled trunk. All girls delight in the social teas given in thelr rooms, and for these a few cups and saucers, spoons, plates, &c., with a small alcohol kettle and a chafing dish, are really necessary.

Mills, H utive committee of the Montgomery Anti-Saloen League held another lengthy last week. ‘The matters which tien were not made public, but the uinced to occur But the Fire-Eater Did Not Approve of che Method of Fighting. From the Chicago Times-Herald, At a celebration of the Fourth of July in Huntsville soon after he went there a confederate general felt that General John B. Caliis had insuitea him. Word reached him that the confederate propused to de him injury the first time they met. A few days later the general and a few of his friends called upon Caliis at his office. I will let George P. Mathes tell the balance of that story, as he told it in a national encampment paper over eight years ago. ‘The confederate began by saying: “General Callis, you have insulted me, I was not aware of doing so.” Well, you did, sah, and I want an apol- or such satisfaction as a gentleman general, I assure you I did not intend to insult you.” Several of the fire-eater's friends at- tempted to interfere, insisting that as no insult had been intended, there was no se for further action. Waving them side the general said warmly: ‘The insult, sah, was given. apologizing? “How can I apologize for an offense that I did not commit?’ Then, sah, you must fight.” “Fight Yes, sah.” “Do I unders me?” “Yes, sah, if there’s any fight in your Yankee carcass.” The words were not out of the fiery southerner’s mouth when a change came over Callis. His tall ferm was drawn up as if on parade, and the black eyes fairly blazed as he said: “I am at your service, sir.” Very well; send your seconds to my friends here.” . “Excuse me, there need be no delay.” A bow indicated the general's acq cence. Very well. John," are there any buckskin s Yes, sir.’ “Are those planks and horses the car- ters had there yet?” Yes, sir.” Then, turning to the group, who had stocd listening to this dialogue with con- siderable amazemeni, he said: “General, I accept your challenge. Weapons, bowie knives; place, my warehouse; time, now; we will each put on a pair of cavalry breeches, and be nailed to a plank, placed ross two horses, and then, sir, I will cut you down.’ The effect was electrical. but, sir, that is barbarism. cording to the code.” “Code be hanged—do you accept my prop- osition?” A = ‘No—no, sah."+*) at “Then get out of my- office and don’t let me see you in it again until you can apolo- gize for your actions." , = Gree Best Fruit Trees ‘for Shade. ‘Thomas Meehan in Lidies’. Home Journal. The denizens of, towns find the pear one of the most satisfactory fruit trees for shade. It is deep rcoting, and many other things may be successfully grown right up to their trunks. Insects trouble them lit- tle. They grow rather fast, but it is many years before they get an objectionably large size. The epple makes a spreading head, and there-is soon shade under its branches, and bésides, the beauty of its blossoms in sory, makes the tree appre- elated fully equal’to a mere ornamental one. It is not a very serious robber of the soil. The cherry makes a desirable shade, but birds make too free with the fruit, and there is the temptation to break branches. The sour or pie cherries are, however, not relished by birds. European walnut trees row rather slowly. It is usually ten years before they produce nuts in any quantity, but after this they are regarded as treas- ures with which their owners would not willingly part. For utility and grateful shade combined, few trees can rival them. —_——_-o+—___ . American Killed by Turks.
