brightest Spot on Earth.

Persons intending to take journey
in search of sunshine without going be-
yond the British islands must direct
their steps to Jersey, 1t appears from
the observations of the sunshine re-
corded for ten years that that little islet
is the brightest spot within the limits
of the four seas. Falmouth is the next
and there are several stations on the
south coast almost equally we'll off.
1t is hardly necessary to name the place
which carries off the palm for sunless
ness. In the city of London there was
no registered sunshine at all in Decem-
Der, 1884; in January, 1885, or Decem-
Der, $780, Seven years ago, therefore,
London was without sunshine for two
consecutive months.

CUSTOMS OF TIBET.
MIR. BONVALOT UNRAVELS AFE
IN THE MOUNTAINS.
Folyandiary F1ourishes Among the Pau
pers ms Does Polygamy With the
Princes-women Who Have q Plural
ity of Husbands.

little northeast of Lhassa, among
the mountains that cove" that part of
the great plateau of Tibet, the ex-
plorer Bonvalot found II large popula-
ton. 1t is in these valleys that some
of the rivers of India have their head
waters. This region is peculiar as the
part of Tibet where polyandry is the
custom, and this feature of social life
has given Tibet some notoriety, be-
cause there are very few parts of the
world in which polyandry is practiced.
Bonvalot thus describes the custom as
it exists in Tibet.
A family has daughter. A young
man wishes to enter the family, to live
under its roof. and become the husband
of the daughter He consulLs with the
parents, and if they arrive at an agree
ment with regard to the amount of
property he is 10 turn over to them, he
takes up his abode in the hut and be-
comes the husband of the daughter. 1t
may be that there are other young men
deslrous of partalsing of the same good
fortune. They are not at all deferred
by the fact that the girl is already pro-
vided with a husband. They present
themselves at the hut, make offers of
certain property, and, unless the first
husband has paid what is regarded in
Tibet as very large sum in order to
secure the young woman as his
exclusive possession, she becomes
likewise the wife of these other claim
ants for her hand, and the whole fam
lily live together in the same hut and in
the utmost harmony.
1t rarely happens that a young man
thinks so much of the girl ne weds in
this peculiar fashion as to be jealous of
others who also desire to be her hus-
band. Now and then, however, such a
case arises, and then there is likely to
be bloodshed. He is a happy young
man who is wealthy enough to become
the sole lord and master of his wife.
1t is a question entirely of morey. If
the young Tibetan is rich enough he
buys wife and remains the only master
Of the household. Sometimes, also,
the husband acquires sufficient property
to buy out the interests of the other
husbands and then they retire from the
field. They are generally content if
they receive back little more money
than they paid for their interest in the
young woman. The children are al
ways regarded as belonging to the
woman, and the fathers lay no claims
upon them.
Poyandry is not established by law,
but it is a custom which probably arose
atsome time when thefemale population
was less numerous than the male, and
it has been continued largely on ac-
count of the poverty of the people. Po-
lygamy is practiced as well as polyan-

QUEER OPERATION.
The Broken Rib of Horse Successfully
Set In Rhode Island.

Set In Rhode Island.
Four or five months ago one of the
hostlers employed at the stable of
Charles d. Nichols of PawtuclSet, r. l.,
noticed that one of the handsome pair
of cream geldings acted little lame.
A superficial examination of the shout
der resulted in not finding any cause
for lameness. The next morning when
the animal was taken out to be curried
there was swelling back of the shout
der, and Il veterinary surgeon was
consulted. 1t appeared to him
like rheumatism, and with instruc-
tions TO see if il could not be sweated
out, he left, saying he would call the
next day. The sweating process did
not meet the desired results, and a
thorough examination revealed the
fact that the fifth rib was broken off
very close to the backbone. The rib
was set, and since that time the ami
NAL has done no work. The result of
this piece of bone setting has been
watched with no small amount of in
terest by all veterinary surgeons here
abouts who have become acquainted
with the peculiar circumstances of the
case. How the rib was broken is yet a
mystery, and it probably will remain
so. The result of the operation was
successful, and the animal is again all

The short story may be accepted as

that it is solely drill an object les
