Thus in the mir, or village-community, the Russians still retain an element of sound political life, the importance of which appears when we consider that five-sixths of the population of European Russia is comprised in these communities.

Whether the mark ever existed in England, in anything like the primitive form in which it is seen in the Russian mir, is doubtful.

By April 9th I was at Nowshera, and by three o'clock on the following morning, with head shaved, a weak solution of caustic and walnut juice applied to hands and face, and wearing the dress peculiar to the Meahs or Kaka Khels, and in company with Hosein Shah, I sallied out as Mir Mahomed or Hakim Sahib.

Andarthi was our next halting place; the fort commands the entrance into the Arkari Valley; at the head of the valley are the three passes, Agzam, Khartiza, and Nuksan, over the Hindu Kush, leading into Badakshan, and a little below the Ozur Valley, which takes its rise from the Tirach Mir Mountain, whose elevation is deduced trigonometrically by Colonel Tanner to be 25,426 feet, presenting a magnificent view.

The dorsal ridge of the Hindu Kush has here a mean elevation of some 16,000 feet, and this great mountain of Tirach Mir stands on a southward spur from the main range from which it towers up thus 9,000 feet above the latter.

Hayward fell a victim as much to his temper as to the greed and treachery of Mir Wali, whom he had insulted.

The "Mir," [A] or palace of the Khan, overhangs the town, and is made up of a confused mass of buildings, which, though imposing at a distance, I found on closer inspection to consist chiefly of mud, which in many places had crumbled away, leaving great gaping holes in the walls.

The Mir mounts a few primitive, muzzle-loading cannon, and the citadel is garrisoned by a thousand men, chiefly Afghans, deserters from Cábul, Kandahár, and other parts of the Ameer's dominions.

The bazaar, through which we passed on our way to the Mir, does not seem a very busy one.

Leaving my escort with strict injunctions to keep their tempers, and under no circumstances to allow themselves to be drawn into a quarrel, I followed the Wazir and his attendants into the Mir.

His Highness Mir Khudadad, Khan of Kelát, is about sixty years old.

Mir Khudadad wore no other jewels, with the exception of three small torquoise rings, all worn on the little finger of the left hand.

Mir Khudadad then turned away to converse with the Wazir in a low tone.

It was at Quetta, on the occasion of the presentation of Mir Khudadad to the Viceroy of India.

But Mir Khudadad may be said to have no policy.

At midnight, however, a messenger appeared at the gates of the Mir with a canvas bag containing two thousand rupees.

Das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn.

Loeben says: "In Weimar war ich im vorigen Winter bei Goethe; er war mir freundlich."

The triolett is worth quoting as a type of Loeben's prettiness: Galt es mir, das süsse Blicken Aus dem hellen Augenpaar? Unter'm Netz vom goldnen Haar Galt es mir das süsse Blicken?

Einem sprach es von Gefahr, Einen wollt' es licht umstricken; Galt es mir, das süsso Blicken Aus dem hellen Augenpaar.

Ich fühle Sie in mir, wie man eine Gottheit fühlt in geweihter Stunde.

"Mir ... i ... am," he repeated, looking in the center of the eyes without flinching, and becoming instantly aware that his utterance of the name produced in himself a development and extension of the original overtones awakened by her speaking of his own name.
