POlYANDRS IN TIBET.
A Country Where Mere Than One Hus'
band Is the Rule.


band Is the Rule.
A little northeast of Lhassa, among
the mountains that eevoy ssiat part of
the great platsaa cf Tibet, the explorer,
BoDvalci, found a large population. 1t
= 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 tins feature of social life has given
Tibet some notoriety because there are
q very few parts of the world in which
polyandry is practiced. Bonvalot thus
describes the custom as it exists in
Tibet:
A family has a daughter. A young
man wishes to enter the family, to live
under its roof and become the husband
of the daughter He consults with the
parents, and if they arrive at an agree
ment with regard to the amount OF
property he is to 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
DESTROYS of partalling of the same good
fortune. They are not at all deferred
by the fact that the girl is already pro-
yided with n 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 a very large sum in order to
secure the young woman as his exclu-
- 81, lil-nIulGn
the wife of these other claimants for
her hand, and the whole family live to-
gether in the same hut and in the ut
most harmony.
1t rarely happens that young man
thinks so much of the girl he wcds 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 happy young man
sole lord and master of his wife. 1t is a
question entirely of money. If the young
Tibetan is rich enough he buys wife
and remains the only master of the
household. Sometimes, also, the hus-
band acquires sufficient property to buy
out the interest of the other husbands,
and then they retire from the field.
They are generally content if they re-
ceive back little more than they paid
for their interest in the young woman.
The children are always regarded as
belonging to the woman. and the fathers
,ay no claim to tlicm.-N Y. Sun.

Rcseeding Old Meadows.

In our climate permanent meadows
clnnYt be maintained. We have not
.nc moisture of the British Islands,
which keeps the grass green and pre-
cas- thc droughts which destroy the
roots Of the hardest grasses after two
u three years, Heavy manuring will
keep the meadows little longer, but
even with the manure it will not be as
good rs a meadow newly seeded. The
profit of cultivated crop after a we'll
fortified meadow is plowed under is
greater than its value for grass. Hence,
the expense of reseeding is only the
cost of the clover and grass seed neces-
sary for it, which rarely amounts to
more than S1.50 per acre.-Colman's
