The "keno" table is made of l6 play
ing cards. "Keno" Is the spotting of
four consecutive cards which correspond
with those "taken as they come" from
pack enclosed in a case, with an open

"keno" man, and as he takes up a card
and holds it before the players, he calls
out its name. The successful placing

There are any number of "cards" or
"keno" tables, and each player pays 25
cents for the use of this card until he
"kenoes" somebody or somebody

the sale of these tables, each player pay

Tibet and Quito.

1t was Warren Hastings who first
drew attention to the striking analogy
both as regards climate and situation,
which exists between Tibet and the
Valley Of Quito in South America. Like
the Himalayas, the Andes consist OF
three parallel chains, and in both
systems numerous rivers rise in the
central range and force their way
through deep ravines, dividing the
lofty SUBMITS of the outer chains. But,
as a recent writer has observed, "the
analogy between the land of the Yncas
and the plateau of Tibet may be carried
still further. In both the staple pro-
duce is wool, yielded by llamas, alpacas,
and vicunas in Peru, and by sheep and
shawl-goats in Tibet. In both the beasts
of burden are llamas or sheep, needing
a wide area of pasturage, and conse-
quently numerous passes on their jour
neys, in order that a profitable trade
may be carried on with the low country.
Both abound in the precious metals.
In both the people cultivate hardy
cereals, and species of chenopodium,
called quinua in Peru, and battu in
Tibet. The people, too, have many be-
liefs and customs in common, down to
that of heaping up huge piles of stones
on the crests of mountain passes" The
vast extent and lofty height of the
Himalayan ranges which surround
Tibet on three sides naturally suggest
the idea of an extensive watershed, and
from their sides spring into life the
largest rivers of Asia. TO them India is
Indebted for the Indus, the Smtlej, the
,Ganges, and the Brahmaputra, and in
them the two great water highways of
China, the Yang-tsze-keang and the
Yellow River, find their sources. The
climate of Tibet is bleak and cold. High
winds prevail during great part of
year, and snow, which begins to fall
early in the Autumn, remains unmelted
on the ground until April. In the soil
the inhabitants find no compensation
for the severity of the climate. No
abundant crops, set in fruitful soil,
lie buried beneath the snow to shoot
upward the instant the first rays Of the
sun fall upon them, as in Canada. Few
woods and forests are to be found to
enrich the sandy surface of the country
with fallen leaves and rotting boughs;
and even the droppings of the numer-
Gus roaming herds are perverted from
their natural office of fertilizing the
soil, to warm the hearths of many
thousands to whom wood and coal are
unattainable luxuries. The life of
Tibetan farmer is thus one of labor and
toll, unrelieved by even the occasional
feeling of qualification, experienced by
husbandmen in more favored regions,
at the sight of an abundant return for
the industry and care expended on the
ground. Wheat, barley, and peas are
the principal crops which are wrested
from soil which at best yields its
meagre products with niggard hands.
