POLYANDRY IN TIBET.
a Country Where Women Have
Several Husbands Apiece.
Financial Considerations sulo All nIatri-
rnonial Questions In tho Land OF tho
Lama. But jealousy Is
Not Popular.

a little northeast of Lhassa, among
the mountains that cover that part of
the great plateau of Tibet, the explorer.
Bonvalot found u large population. It
is in these valleys that some of the
rivers of India have their headquarters.
This region, says the New York Sun, is
peculiar as the part of Tibet where
polyandry is the custom, and this feature
of social life has given Tibet some no
toriety, because there are very few parts
of the world in which polyandry is prac-
fised. Bonvalot thus describes the Gus
tom as it exists in Tibet.
A family has daughter. A yo,u,r,
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 nrrce-
ment IN regard to the amount of prop
,erty he is to turn over to them, he takes
up his abode in the hut and becomes the
husband of the daughter. 1t may be
that there are other young men desir-
Gus of partaking of the same good for
tune. They are not at all deferred by
the fact that the girl is already pro-
Vidcd with 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 Sc
cure the young woman as his exclusive
possession, she becomes likewise the
wife of these other claimants for her
hand, and the whole family live togeth-
er in the same hut and in the utmost
harmony.
1t rarely happens that a young man
thinks SO much of the girl he weds in
this peculiar fashion as to be jealous Of

a Years Drinking in Great Brita,n.

Tho United Kingdom Alliance has, ac-
lcording to its annual custom, published
statement of the amount of wines,
spirituous liquors and beer consumed
in Great Britain and Ireland during the
year 1901, and it shows the bill for in
toxicants to be pretty stiff one. The
total spent in Intoxicating drinks dur
ing the twelve months was considcra-
bly, over S7oo, 900, oOO-an average of SlS
flor every man, woman and child in the
|country, or 800 for every family in the
course of the year The bill for 1891
was nearly so,ooO,Ooo greater than the
bill for 1890, but this increase was not
Emore than what would naturally arise
from the increase of population.

Good Work of the Chinese Empress

\ The empress of China takes great
Interest in the working girls of the
Flowery Kingdom. A few months ago
3she established cloth and silk factory
lin the grounds OF the imperial palace in
BIekin, for the express purpose of Civ
1ing employment to women and girls
7who had no work. The empress is not
allowed by court regulations to leave
file palace grounds, and She therefore
5decided to have the factory where she
fcould watch it's progress.

To See 8 Bullets Flight.

A late scientific authority states that
by saturating bullet with vaseline it's
flight may be easily followed with the
eye from the time it leaves the muzze
of the rifle until it strikes the target.
The course of the flight is marked by q
beautiful ring of smoke, caused by the
Bvaseline being ignited on leaving the
lmuzzle Of the gun. This smoke ring
swill remain suspended in the air for
! some little time after the bullet strikes
hi the day is not too windy.
