WAYS OF THE THIBETANS.


What They Eat and How They
Dress and Wear Their Hair.
The chief agricolous product of
Thibet IS black barley; and this serves
as the basis of the food of the entire
population, rich and poor, says a writ
er in the Buddhist Ray. The ordinary
repast consist Of buttered tea and bar
ley mush. Meat is seldom eaten, and
then only as delicacy. Of fermented
barley they make Notwithstanding
acidulous drink of rather pleasant
taste. In some of the warmer valleys
rice, vegetables and fruits are grown;
but these do not go far beyond their
immediate borders. Hence, though
Thibet is rich in gold and silver, it is
poor in the necessaries Of life. I'M
portation of food stuffs, except in very
small quantities, is made impossible by
the long and frightful roads that have
to be traversed.
The Thibetans do not, like the Chin
csc shave the head, but let the hair
grow and flow over their shoulders,
contenting themselves with clipping it
every now and then with scissors. The
ordinary head-dress is blue cap, with
a broad border of black velvet sur
mounted with red tuft. On holidays
they wear a great red hat decorated at
the rim with a long, thick fringe. A
full robe, fastened on the right side
with four hooks, girded round the
waist by a red sash, and red or purple
cloth boots, complete the simple yet
graceful costume of the men. Sus-
pended from the sash is a green taffeta
bag, for the eating bowl, and two small
purses, of an oval form and richly en-
broidered, which contain nothing at
all, being merely ornamental.
The dress of the women closely
resembles that of the men. The only
difference is that over the robe they add
Il short many-colored tunice, and that
they divide their hair into two braids,
one hanging down each shoulder.
Those of the poorer classes wear a
small, pointed, yellow cap; those of the
richer classes decorate their heads
with graceful little crowns composed of
pearls.
A Romish missionary. speaking of
the Thibetans, says: They are of the
middle height, and combine, with the
agility and suppleness of the Chinese,
the force and vigor of the Tartars.
Gymnastic exercises of all sorts and
dancing are very popular among them,
and their movements are cadenced and
easy. As they walk about they are al
ways humming some psalm or popular
song; generosity and ,frankness enter
largely into their character; brave in
war, they face death fearlessly; they
are as religious as the Tartars, but not
so credulous.

BRAZILIAN Morning Glory.

Of vines there are 'many and

the most fashionable for a few years,

writes a Baton Rouge, La, cores
pondent of Vicks' Magazine. know
that if had great place that 1
wanted covered up with vines in a
few days, | should get Brazilian
morning glory. This spring l set a
tn ree-inch plant ten feet from a large
pecan tree. As the weather was very
dry, left it there till | could get a
frame made. Sorrow became our
guest all the spring, and the vine was
uncared for; it crept on the ground to
the pecan tree and the latter part of
May it began blooming near tie ground
and upwards; now the whole pecan
tree is a mass of vines flowers and
curious seed-pods. | asked that hus-
band of mine, " how tall that pecan
tree is? He answered, ''45 feet;' so
you have some idea of the immensely
of the vine. Many of the leaves are a
foot across, scollOped like grape leaves;
the flowers are about 3 inches across,
narrower in the throat than common
morning glories, and are a deep, rosy
purple shading to mauve. The seed
pods are unlike anything | have ever
seen; they are in clusters, branching
like claws, a dark, shining, waXy seed
pod, half an inch in circumference at
the end of each claw, generally about
fifteen pods to each bunch. The seeds
when ripe are dark brown, nearly
black, with a tiny silk band around
each seed, four seed to pod; in shape
like moon flower seed.
The Brazilian morning glory, vine
and leaf, is covered with short, red
brown, soft hairs, that, with the Pc
cuIiar seed-pois, give it an interesting
appearance. Insects do not injure
these vines.

HOW'S YOUR LIVER.
rhe Usefulness of So-CaIled Mag
netIo alth-AppIiances.


The induced current can be pro-
duced in an apparatus much smaller
and more easily portable than any 9TH
er,current. Hence, whenever such eff
fects as it will cause are desired, it is
the one employed as matter of con-
venience. Its limitations, however,
are many, and hence it is less frequent
ly used for medical purposes than the
voltaic current. The fact that this
current is induced by magnetism should
not be taken to imply that by it mag
man body. The most careful expert
ments have shown that the human
body is as completely insensitive to
magnetism and is wholly unaffected by
it as piece of rubber or of wood. A
person may stand between the poles of
the strongest magnet, one which might
hold up a ton Of iron, without the slight
est perceptible effect upon.any of the
bodily functions being produced. Hence
all so-called magnetic appliances,
brushes or combs, disks, belts, and
magnets have absolutely no curative
power whatever. A few of these may,
by friction, produce static electricity.
Some are so constructed of two kinds
of metal that on contact with the skin,
whose perspiration is acid, very weak
voltaic current is produced. scarcely
sufficient, after several hours, to red
den the surface. The majority of eff
tects produced by such contrivances
are due, like those of the static current,
to expectant atten ton rather than to
action of the agents, which careful iu-
designations have shown to be inert.
The writer once demanded Of the
agent Of a widely advertised electric
Selt'' some proof that an electric cur
rent was produced by it, and suggested
that any such current could be detected
by means of a galvanOmeter. This
test was objected to, but little frame
holding dozen pocket-compasse was
at once produced, and the power of the
belt, which doubtless contained some
iron plates, to attract the needles of
these compasses was shown as proof Of
the production of electricity in the
belt. Probably many who were
ignorant of the difference between
electricity and magnetism had been de-
ceived by this so-called test. M. Allen
Starr, in Scribner.

How Turkish Harems Are Filled.

The polygamous Turkish Beys and
Agas, whose hitherto regular supply
of Circassian girls from the Caucasus
has been cut off from them since the
annexation of the province by Russia,
have recourse now to u bold system of
rape. They swoop down upon an
Armenian village, with their armed
acoytes, and carry off to their harems,
by main force. as many good-looking
girls and women us they can lay hands
on. This is permitted to them; and
the modus operandi by which the
abduction of Armenian girls is render
ed legal by the Moslem judges may be
summed up as follows: When the rela-
tives present themselves in court to
claim the abducted victim, the ravish-
ers are ready with brace of Moslem
witnesses 600 could be produced if
wanted), who declare on oath that the
kidnapped woman pronounced in their
presence the regular formula of the
Moslem faith: There is no God but
God, and Mohammed is his Prophet. )
The Judge thereupon dismisses the
case on the ground that the stolen and
ravished girl has by that profession
abiured her former faith and embraced
Mohammedanism. And the verdict OF
these upright judges is not to be set

The Bells of lynne.

The night is falling, the north wind blows,
1t bitterly blows over marsh and lea;
The ploughman clings TO his cap as he goes,
And the curlew tits in the spume OF the
sea.
But far and faint and sweet and thin,
Oh, hear the bells from the old gray town,
The ancient, red-roofed city of Lynne,
That lies where the winding hills come
down.
AS oft as the bitter winds are blowg.
The shifting winds from the fields OF
snow,
So often the bells of Lynne float down
To the dunes and the desolate wastes be-
low.
AS oft as the human heart is torn
BY the pain of loss, by the strife OF sin,
So oft are the bells of heaven borne
Ger the sobbing wastes, like the bells Of
Lynne.

A Little Farm Well titled.

An exchange gives the following
good advice: If you have little farm
and are out of debt don't fr44A4d work
yourself and good wife into graves for
the sake of getting money. You have
but one life to live, and it is very brief
at the best. Take little pleasure and
comfort as you go along day by day,
and try and do little good to others.
A morbid, insatiate desire to possess
the earth, to grab everything in sight
is at the foundation of more misery
and woe than any one thing. Wealth
alone will never keep your memory
green after you are gone; but a good
life and kind actions will.

Churning Quality of Cream.

Cream is delivered at the creamery
and credited by the gauge. 1t is
within comparatively few years that
any test of the quality was thought
of. Then it was discovered that a
certain measure might make all the
way from eight ounces of butter to
twenty-four, according to quality.
This led to the churn test, which was
applied once a month or so, for the
purpose Of fixing a standard of credit
for the different herds. But now it is
found that the quality may vary SO
much from day to day, in the same
herd, that nothing but daily test can
secure exact justice. Still the pooling
of cream goes on, the owners OF good
herds losing what the owners of poor
herds gain as a premium for inferi-
GRITTY.
A daily test by any of the known
methods is almost impossible, invOlv
ing too much labor and expense; and
any test short of Il churn test does not
show the churning quality of the cream,
or what per cent of fat can be churned
out of it. Chemical tests only show
the amount of fat in the cream, not
what can be churned out. Plainly
there can be not even an apprOxima-
ton to exact justice in the pooling of
cream or milk until we have a test so
simple, cheap and expeditions that it
can be applied to every mess as it
comes to the creamery, and will show
the churning quality. Until this test
is found, intelligent owners of best
herds will steer clear Of creamery and
factory.

characteristics of Potatoes.

Different kinds OF potatoes vary
widely in their habits Ct growth, and
these must be understood if they are to
be grown with success. Some need to
be planted farther apart than others.
Some require deep planting, while
others set their tubers at about the
same depth wherever the seed cutting
may be put. The Old-fashiOned Peach
blow had wide-spreading roots, that
pretty fully occupied the soil from hill
to hill, if planted in rows three feet
apart each way. Most of the newer
kinds of potatoes, especially of the
Rose family, bunch their tubers all in
a heap, making them easily dug.
With the Peachblow it was hard to tell
when all the potatoes belonging to a
hill were secured. If the earth were
not piled up conically about the plant,
then roots with large tubers attached
could often be found a foot from the
hill, or even in the middle of the rows.
The Peachblow also usually set pretty
deeply, while the Early Rose is apt to
be sun-scalded or greened, no matter
how carefully the earth is piled around
the hill In case of rot, the depth at
which the tubers naturally set is a
matter of much importance. The
White Star and other deep-setting
potatoes do not rot so quickly as those
which set at or just beneath the sur
fanp
