The manners and customs of the Nasal, az

account Of his recent travels in Africa, are,
10 put In the mildest language, most pecu-
liar, and a whole chapter is devoted to the
description of them. Their usual mode OF
salutation ON meeting is to spit in ons
anotheris face, the more copious 10 expsc-
t~oration the greater the friendship; and Mr.
Thompson. having been voted a great msdi-
cine man, was expected 10 heal diseases in
this way; but so great was the demand on
his salivRry organs that he could only satisfy
his patients by taking repeated draughts OF
water.
Equally strange is the custom Of all the
unmarried mon and women living In vii

by themselves, these latter are allowed to
eat what they like, but the unmarried ones
may only eat meat and drink milk. As soon
as a man marries he ceases to be a warrior.

more allowed TO join In cattle rnids, or that
determination Of his neighbors which ia coll

greatest delight that tho young Nasal Is
capable Of enjoying; and 1t Is probably be-
cause they would have to forego the pleas

form, for virtue, as we understand it. is UNI

They have certainly a kind Of religion, but
very little oven of that, and seem to have no

unseen and unbidden guest, entered tho
White House, were warned by signs and
omens. that, interpreted by supernatural
lore, foreshadowed 10 the ignorant and
superstitions the funereal pageantry in which
they would ere long be central figures
Gen Harrison arrived at Washington in
the mids Of a driving thunderstorm, and as
he descended from his carriage a flash OF
lightning blinded him and caused him to
miss a step and fall The first night he
slept at the White House an owl, perched on
the roof over his bedroom, hooted contin-
uously. and he complained the next morn
ing that the owl and a bowling dog near had
kept him awake.
When MIRA Taylor was told OF her hus-
bands election she burst into tears and ex-
claimed: 1Oh, why can't they let US alonei
This is all "A scheme to break up our home"

threw myself ON a lounge in my bedroom to

a swinging glass, and looking in it, / noticed
two separate and distinct images to myself.
A little bothered, perhaps startled, I got up
and went TO tho glass, but the illusion van

that one OF the faces was paler than the

and she, who had great faith in signs, and

said: 1t means you will DO elected TO IA

On their trip from Springfield to Washing
ton they passed by Cen Harrison's burial
place, and halted to pay n tribute Of respect
TO his memory. Turning from the grave, a
blackbird made a circle round his head. The

Wolseley. From Suakim to Bsrber In a di-
rect line across the desert the distanca is not
more than 2G0 miles, hut the absenee of

for large bodies OF troop. Even a railroad
would DO difficult TO maintain, owing to the
need Of large quantities OF water for the
engines and for the guards along the road.
Water must be had at any cost IL the at

An Indian explorer, known as the Pnndit
A X, in the employ of tho Indian sur
vey, has just returned from four years jour
neying In Thibet, during which he spent a
year in Lhasa, the capital Of Thibet and the
Mecca of Buddhism. Before this traveller
only four Europeans in this century have
visited Lhasa. Hue and Cabot the French
missionaries, were driven from the city
forty years ago, after living there n few
months. Moorcroft was killed after he left
the city. and another traveller was permitted
to remain there only a few days He says
the city is crowded with temples, and in the
monastery at Potola the Dalai LAM lives
who is regarded as tho incarnation OF
Buddha.
This building is surmounted by five gilded
cupolas, which, when sparkling in the sun
light, present a dazzling spectacle. II con-
tains numerous images, one OF which is
seventy feet high. During the festivals in
the middle Of February the Thibetans gather
at Lhasa from all over the country to pay
homage TO all the gods and goddessss who
are supposed to be present. These cere.
monies last about n month, at the end Of
which all tho citizens are considered to ave
been purified for another year.
