The Weed “Kaffir.’ 1 Very curious has been the history of the word “Kaffir.” Sir Henry Rawlln- son once said that the loveliest oriental lady he had ever seen was a Kaffir slave at Kabul. When she had loosen. *d her gulden hair she could cover her self completely as with a veil. Thla name of Kaffir is as worldwide as Islamlsm, for it Is the name of “un believer'’ applied by true Muhamma dans to those that refuse tlis fM*. 'f be Portuguese found It applied to the negroes of east Africa by their Arab predecessors awl handed It on to the Dutch and to tbe English. The Kaffir sieve at Kabul belonged to one of those black clad mountain tribes la the heart of Afghanistan, who flU 1880 defied tbelr Moslem neighbors and pa tbelr dizzy precipices gloated on tbelr Idolatry. These Afgban Kaffirs claim to b'e descended from tbe Greeks who came with Alexander In bis conquest of the east. INDUSTRIAL NOTE8. A rniiUur Trick.
