European Travellers.

How the Wind Blowing on Them Affects
European Travellers.
The strangely wild beauty of this
scene was enhanced by the extreme
clearness of the air, which in Thibit
renders surrounding objects and their
black, clear-cut shadows almost start
lingly distinct, and distances most de-
ceptive. A natural consequence of so
transparent an atmosphere is, that the
suns rays strike through it with the
most astonishing power. Indeed, from
the moment the sun appears over the
horizon, it commences pitching into
your face, and especially your poor
nose; and even although these may be
shaded from its direct beams, the radi-
alton from the dry, stony ground is so
great as to make some sort of covering
for the face very desirable. And oh!
the merciless, marrow-searching wind
that hardly ever ceases blowing on
these bare Thibetan steppes, except
for few hours in the morning, and
not always even then. How it, COM
bined with hard frost every night,
parches and cracks the sun-scorched
skin on your face and lips, until speak
ing becomes painful, to laugh is a tor
ture, and to wash is almost impossible.
Day after day the skin peels off your
face and hands. There is no escape
from this evil in Thibet: it is the great
drawback to trip there. / generally
wore kind of mask made of thin cloth,
extending down just over the nose,
with apertures for the eyes, and always
kept my face well slneared with salve
composed of bears grease and sperm
aceti, which acted like basting to roast
meat, inasmuch as it prevented the
skin from becoming quite frizzled up.

EARLY INSTRUCTION.

why Children Should He Made to no
work Suitable for Their Aes.
If possible, parents, teach your chill
iren to do work suitable and proper
for their age. If a mistake Is made,
do not reprove them sternly. Kindly
point 1t out, If unnoticed, and allow
them to undo or correct it, II it is in
their power. Mothers are often so
hurried and worried with work and the
care of children, that they feel or think
they have no time to teach them to
cut out simple articles, or to do sew
ing, knitting, etc. The oldest daughter
is usually taught those useful arts rs
early as her sixth year. There seems to
be time to instruct her, as the wants OF
those younger do not yet need atten-
ton in that way. The oldest son, too,
is early called to help about work.
Younger sisters wait on the little
ones, and often spend the rest of
their time in play. Recreation IL neces-
sary, but If kept up too long, fatigue
is the result. Boys and girls, whose
home is on farm have peculiar adj
vantages for learning to do work suited
to their capacity. The well-kept dis
trict schools Of the country are pleas
ant places in which to gain knowledge.
The long walks to and from school,
with fields of grain and orchards bor-
dering on the road, have charms for
healthy, happy children. After sup
per, when the evening work is done,
the lamps are lighted, and lessons
studied. Reading and play have .

in which case the enormous strength
of the bull is such that he lifts horse
and rider into the air and shakes them.
This generally liberates the horns and
results in further goring Of the horse.
The picador is often thrown with the
horse on top of him, and even when
clear of the horse, the weight of his
armor is SO great that he has to be as
sisted to escape to the barrier. If no
vital part of the horse is pierced at the
first onslaught, he rises from the
ground only to be thrown again by the
maddened bull. When finally the bulls

rises, and, with entrails protruding,
rushes in bling agony about the ring.

rise, one of thu assistants ends his suf-
fering by pietcing his brain with a
dagger. If the horse is not seriously
injured at the first charge, the open
ings made in his body by the horns of
the bull are stopped with hemp, and he
is placed in position for a second
charge. This portion of the perform
ance is SO horrible that If performed
in English-speaking countries it would
make men faint. Yet women and even
children witness it in Spain with every
indication of pleasure.
The position of the picadors during
the charges of the bull are most pre-
carious. They have many narrow es-
capes, and are sometimes lifted in the
air and alight on the back OF the bull.
One close call occurred recently. A
picador was thrown to the ground, but
escaped by lying perfectly still and
feigning death, while the bull shifted
over him, and finally walked away.

All this was sound Republicanism
under the last Republican Administra-
ton, but it is substantially in accord
with President Cleveland's message. If
that means free trade, this Republican
President and his Republican Secretar-
les were substantially free traders. The
original Republican doctrine of 1868 is
that of the Presidents message. 1T is
due to the labor of the Nation that
taxation should be equalized and
reduced as rapidly. as the National

possessed proud, sensitive nature, and
