The general merchandise markets were rather

and it is said that no miller can purchase choice
article and turn it into flour and get his money

vanced about 81 " Dbl from the lowest point, but
even this advance would net pay the Western mill

The Origin of the Thibetans.

The Thibetan legend of the origin of
the people is that in the beginning
only one man and his three sons lived
on the table-land. They had no houses
or tents, but led a migratory life, with
out being troubled with the cares of ex-
istence, for the land was not then des-
ert, or poor, or cold. Trees were grow
ing which afforded choice fruits, rice
fourished without man having to labor
to raiseit, and the tea-plant thrived in
the fields that Buddha afterward
changed into stony places. Thibet
was then all the more fortunate,
rich land, because these four
men, then the only living crea-
lures in the world, knew nothing of
war and contention, but lived in unity
and peace. AT last the father suddenly
died. Each of his sons wanted his
body, to dispose of it in his own way.
This was the first dispute. The corpse
lay for some days on a large rock, and
the sons avoided one another. AT last
the eldest son made a proposition:
Why should we be alienated because
a misfortune has happened to us all in
commOny Let us be agreed and divide
the body" They all accepted the pro-
position. The corpse was divided into
th4e parts, and each son took a part.
The eldest son got the head. He went
away toward the east and became the
father of the Chinese, who excel in
craft and have great skill in trade.
The second son was satisfied with his
dead fathers limbs. He also left his
home and settled. where the great
Desert Of Cobb gives his posterity, the
Mongols, plenty of room; their cha--
acteristic is restlessness. The youngest
son received the breast and bowels.
He remained in Thibet, and from him
are descended the Tdbetan people,
who are distinguished in ordinary in
tercourse by good nature, openness
and cordiality, in war by courage and
enthusiasm.-P0pularS Science Monthly.

Fashion Notes.

A great deal of red will be worn by
little people.
Street costumes are either very gay
or very sober.
The fishwife's poke is the novelty for
little girls wear.
Arab red is the newest and liveliest
shade of this color.
Tan-colored, long-wristed loose gloves
are the first favorites of fashion.
Plush artificial flowers and leaves are
striking, elegant novelties in millinery.
Plush is as frequently used for child
ren's dressy wraps as for larger people
Little girls wear pelisses similar to
those of their mothers and older sis
ters.
Little girls dresses are even more
quaint and picturesque than in sum
mer.
Fashionable women wear laced shoes,
but the button boot is by no ans dis
carded.
