In 181!!, after iho combined Sikli and Afghan armies had been defeated at the battle of Gujrat, they retreated, closely pursued by tho British forces, Tho Sikh army surrendered).and -Hie Afghans retired ihroiigh the lihybfer Pass on Kabul. Tho British did not enter the pass, but encamped at its entrance, and whilst there Mrs. O'Kearney, as a' young girl of sixteen, met and married secretly, on account of; the fanatical hatred of the Afghans for the British, according to tho Mohammedan rites, Major Maughan, of tho East India Company's Service, Bombay Army. Soon after tho British Army retired, and, Mrs. Maughan, as she thenwas, was lelt with her own peojilo.

HAIRS ON THE FACE. Superfluous' Hair is one of the most. distressing -blemishes with which women are afflicted, and hitherto there has been no permanent cure. Electrolysis invariably leaves the face badly marked, even more disfiguring. than the hair, and depilatories are .worse than useless, for they only bum the hair off, and cause it to grow out doubly strong. ' "KTJLDAH" > is a medical formula, which has no'equal for destroying the roots of the hairs; it is quite unlike'any other superfluous' hair remedy, and it behoves every woman so afflicted to give 1 "KULDAH" a trial. It leaves no trace of "anything having been applied, and is a marvellous cure, as thousands of satisfied users have proved; price, 6s. 6d., in plain sealed'wrapper,. from G. Mee, Chemist, Lambtori Quay, Wellington (if posted 3d. extra).—Advt. ■ ■ .
