Ambitious Young Efea.
Our road first lay through the dis
trict inlla bited by the agricultural
tribes on the frontier. Then we en-
tered the country occupied by the
Mongols of the Ko-ko Nor, says a
writer in the National Review. The
pasture there was the richest have
ever seen in any part of Thibet: but
an idyllic pastoral life is by no means
practiced by the inhabitants. Brig
andage is the general profession.
The young men spend their time either
in making raids on travellers and on
encampmcnts OF their tribes, by which
means they mostly acquire their cher
ished horses, or in practicing the art
of warfare. 1 witnessed military

full gallop fired one after another at a
small given mark.
These Mongols are tall and fierce look

friendly. The men shave their heads.
Both men and women dress in a gown
of sheepskin, girded round the waist,
high boots Of felt and skin, bound be-
low the knee with lcathern strap or
cotton garter, and long white felt
coats, which they wear over the sheep
skin when it rains. Their summer hat
is of white felt, in shape something
like the top hat worn by the old
Welch market women. The cap they
wear in winter is Of white astrakhan,
shaped like sugar loaf, with red and
green cotton brim.
The women dress their hair in little
plaits, more than a hundred. caught
together at the ends with wide band
of colored cloth, which is embroidered
with gay silks and gold thread. and
studded with coral and torquoise,
silver coins and brass buttons. which
they get from Lhassa. The tents are

TREACHEROUS SNOW.
Dangers to Which tho Chamois Hunter

Dangers to Which tho Chamois Hunter
Subjects Himself
One Of the perils which the chamois
hunter must face is that which turks
in the snow. Mr.. Buxton, in his Short
Stalks, tells the story Of Herr SIS
adventure. which graphically illus
trates this danger. He was following
with one companion, IN the depth of
winter, the trail of wounded cha
mois. The track led them across a
steep couloir filed with deep, loose
snow, into which they plunged up to
their miiddles.
When half way across this the mass
parted just above them, and moved
speed, sometimes covering them deep
with a surging mass, and then again
tossing them into the air.
At last S. felt himself suddenly
and violently arrested by some pro-
truding substance, which afterwards
proved to be broken stump of a tree.
After time he recovered conscious
ness, and succeeded in shaking him
self free.
The first thought was Tor his friend,
of whom nothing was to be seen. But
as he gazed over the waste Of snow he
saw at distance a twig, which had
been pressed downwards, recover itself
and spring up.
Thinking it might be the sign OF
some life he made his way to the spot,
and close by it found boot protrud-
ing from the surface. Scraping the
snow away as best he could with his
naked hands he at length uncovered
the body so far as the face.
The man was apparently dead, and
his face was almost black: but present
ly he came to. and was little the worse,
while s. himself, in turn, tainted
from the injuries he had received, and
was laid up for six weeks before he re-

A Plea for Genuine Bed-Are There No

fcoPYR1GHr. lsnal

"a dwe11er in Tom s-all-alone, and a
mover-on upon the face of the earth, "
says the oily Chadband in Bleak
House." with wave of his hand to-
wards poor 10, who has been brought
in homeless from the streets Of Lon
don.
| A mover-on upon the face of the
earth! What a sickening feeling comes
over you when you realize that you
have got TO move again! 1t makes you
suddenly suspect that you have never
had a real home, and never will sue
ceed in finding one. The limitations
of your income rise up and confront
you, and if you are inclined to take
life seriously, you begin to feel that
even the poor who swarm in the tene-
ment houses have a surer place in the
world than you have.
In the course of my own searches,
have come to the conclusion that either
society is all wrong, or else | am. I
prefer, of course, to think that it is So
ciety. Why should it be SO hard for a
person of moderate income to live in
any sort of refined way in New York
city? House rents are so high that the
majority OF people cannot afford to
pay them in any sort of suitable
neighborhood. Everything goes by
neighborhoods in New York city. No
one can live in cheap neighborhood.
1t is all well enough in theory, bat in
practice it means proximity to te1e-
ment houses noisy and bad, not to say
extremely untidy little children, sa-
looms, smells, cheap grocery stores,
and men who lounge upon the side
walks.
1t cannot be that all the refined peo-
pie are rich. Some of them must be
poor, or comparatively so-that is to
say. living on an income of a thou
sand dollars, or near that amount.
Such people cannot afford to pay nine
hundred dollars for house or fat, and
two thousand dollars, the average rent
in location such as these unfortunate
ones would naturally choose, is of
course out of the question. There is a
good deal of sympathy bestowed upon
the poor. 1t is my opinion that they
suffer much less, and in q much more
comfortable way, than those without
money who have been trained to aspire.
The cost of good fats is also very
high. Here again cheap rent means
cheap neighborhood, with all the IN
speakable terrors implied thereby. In
fact, cheap fat is worse than cheap
house. Here the annoyances invade
the establishment, and rage to your
very doors. You are startled by hear

BROODING SNAKES.
How tho Python Mother Katches Out
Her Young.

Her Young.
The python lays eggs and matches
them by developing high degree of
heat, as has been proved in the case OF
the Indian and African species.
The first careful Investigations of
this subject were made in 1871 by the
renowned naturalist, Achille Valen-
ciennes, in the Jardin des Plantes,
Paris. A python there laid fifty eggs
within three hours. which at first were
oval. but pointed toward the poles; the
they soon changed to perfect egg
shape and became white, and the shells
hardened some what, although they re-
manned pliable, like leather, and were
lusterlesS and rather rough. Their
length varied from two and a half to
four and half inches.
After laying the eggs the snake
gathered them together in a heap un-
der the cover she had IN her box.
wound the rear part of her body
around the base of this heap, and then
formed a conc-shaped spiral of the rest
of her body around the whole, her
head closing the top. Not single egg
was visible.
After fifty-six days the first young
ones crawled out. They were about
two inches long. The temperature in
the center Of the heap of eggs was 1o5
degrees Fahrenheit. while that Of the
box was only 12.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Two other pythons tried to hatch
their eggs in the London Geological
garden-one in 1862 and the other in
1881. In these cases the difference be
tween the temperature inside of the
heap 81 eggs and the outside air was
much less; but the eggs Were spoiled
and no young were hatched.
