Daring Woman In ThIbet.

Amateur photography is not in high
! favor in Thibet. The residents of Tar
chendo were lately thrown into great
| state of excitement by the arrival of a
European woman with a camera. She
made her appearance riding down the
dirty, narrow winding main street astlide
diminutive pony, followed by her cav
alters clad in flannels and straw hats and
seated on sorry mules.
| When she came to an imposing look
ing building, the town house of the su-
perintendent, she dismounted and tried
| to set up her camera, but in vain. The
crowd so harassed her that she found it
impossible Then she endeavored to in
duce some native priests to have their
portraits taken. But the very idea ter
riied them, for they are the most alb
jectly superstitious people in the world,
and taking their picture means to their
minds robbing them of their souls.
But the artists ambition had been fired
by the knowledge that two years before
an Englishman visiting the country had
failed to take single photograph, al
though he had made several attempts.
At length she got her stand fixed in a
corner of the courtyard, and her COM
panions having driven off the rabble she
managed to secure good view of the
Buddhist temple. AS she was moving
off half dozen fierce Thibetan dogs, let
loose meanwhile, rushed up, seized her
staff with their teeth, wrested it away
from her, and she was only saved from
further molestation by her companions,
who succeeded in keeping the dogs at
bay and escorting her through the gate
way. The scowling priests stood round
like statues, draped in their crimson
scarfs, and never moved finger to call
the dogs off or render assistance.-Buf-

A Waste of Time.

You can lead horse to water, but you cannot
make him drink;
You can send fool to college, but you cannot
make him think;
You may keep your daughter strumming from
morn till afternoon,
But you can't make her player If she hasn't
any tune.
You can never make q farmer of Il boy who
loves the sea,
Though you may make him plow and plant and
whoa and haw and gee.
It's no use to swear and bluster because your
only son
Prefers the girl he met in the car to your Sc
lected one;
You might as well switch off that track, for
love is lord Of pelf,
And besides it's more than likely that you know
how it's yourself.
You cannot change the ROSTERS strut nor make
the layers crow,
Though you may honestly believe 1t would be
better SO.
You cannot make parson of the stagestruck
Romeo lad,
And if you ever do succeed you'll wish you
never had.
There is only one thing meaner, and that's to
have to see
The name of your neighbours numskull finished
with NJ. D.
But all these things,.and more BESIDES we may
expect to bear,
Until the numskul kills us and the Romeo says
the prayer.

PHYSlOGNOaY.

Coarse hair always indicates coarse or
ganization.
Very full cheeks indicate great digest
i've powers.
A projecting under lip shows malig-
nifty and avarice.
A small mouth, with nose and nostril
also small shows indecision and coward
ice.
A long, thick chin is commonly found
only in persons of low mental organiza-
ton.
A round, bullet head shows obstinacy,
often combined with many petty mean
nesses.
A mouth that, when viewed in profile,
turns up in curve when smiling is a
sign of frivolity.
A small head does not necessarily
mean little wit, the old adage to the con-
tray Notwithstanding.
A forehead rounded at the upper tenn
Piles indicates large imagination, mirth.
fulness and good nature.
When the under part of the face, from
the nose downward, is less than third
of the whole face, the indication is of
stupidity
Prominent, arched eyebrows show
great powers of perception in regard to
form and color. All great painters had
such brows.
Finely arched foreheads are often seen
on stupid persons. The deficiency is
generally apparent in the scantiness of
the eyebrows.
Strongly projecting foreheads, which,
in the upper part retreat to q marked
degree, associated with long under face,
are certain indications of folly.
Men of marked ability in any line have
usually one deep, perpendicular wrinkle
in the middle of the forehead, with one
or two parallel to it on each side.
Whenever, in laughing, three parallel
curves are formed in the cheeks round
the corners of the mouth, the indication
is of Stiffness and stupidity.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

Like small streamlet on mountain side
white thread glancing in the summer sun,
Lightly down leaping with joyous spring,
So passes happy childhood's playful hour.
Next, through green dells and meath o'ershad-
owing crags
The growing stream with needless flow winds
on;
Now gladly lingering round some glowing isle
That smiles with heavenly beauty and allures
With promises of perpetual delights;
Now fiercely dashng down some rough cas-
cade,
Where rushing waters split on hostile rocks,
Spouting aloft the iridescent spray
Drifted in sunless clefts by swaying winds.
So pass the years of youth. Our ripper age
Is like the broadened rivers stately march,
Whose current slackens, yet admits no pause,
But passes field and coppice, tower and town,
Not wholly 'scaping from defiling stains,
Yet toiling onward restlessly. Adown
Its smooth yet ever sliding stream we haste,
Nor mark the progress of its quiet speed,
Till, faster rushing as 1t nears the end,
1t sweeps us onward in resistless course
Through the torn rapids of disease and pain,
TIL, plunging down the cataract of death,
We glide into n vast and unknown space
The boundless ocean of eternity.

Bound to Come.

Among the important subjects that
will come before the Massachusetts leg
islature is municipal suffrage for wom-
en-. This is one of the measures about
which the public mind is undergoing
some, as yet, unregistered changes of
opinion. Women read the newspapers.
They are in II the schools, in the col
leges as students, as professors, as col
lege presidents. They carry on business
to an extent undreamed OF 90 years ago.
They are in all the professions. They
form an intelligent portion of the COM
munity. There is no reason why they
should not have municipal suffrage, and
every reason why they should.-Boston

The Commercial Traveller.

In some respects the American COM
mercial traveller is potent influence.
He carries with him the latest city chit
chat, and if he be a young man perhaps
the latest slang or the newest funny
story. 1t has been said that noted
American after dinner speaker depends
largely on that class for his humorous
stories. AT all events, the commercial
traveller has studied the art Of pleasing,
and he is a welcome figure at the dreary
country hotels where be pauses for lit
tie time in his rapid flight through the
sections remote from city influences. In
some respects he is an oracle on mooted
points, and his dictum on many phases
of business or politics carries much
weight Advertiser.

This is story that was once told to
st. Peter by woman sitting outside his
gate. He had objected to her entering,
although she had answered most of his
questions straightforwardly and salts
factorily enough. 81 do not like" said
st. Peter, surveying her critically. as
doubtless was his duty under the cir
cumstances, 81 do not like that fretful
pucker between the brows. l do not
like that deep graved line of mockery'
that runs crescent wise from the nostril

to their owners a temporary sojourn

said st. Peter politely.
The woman smiled wanly. 81 know
as well as you do" said she, "that those
lines mean impatience and fretfulness
and i'll temper and much unloveliness of
the sort that is not welcome beyond the
whitegate. But what want to know is,
Are we judged by the lines alone, regard
less of how we came by them? Do we
all fare alike-those of us who are born
fretful, who achieve fretfulness OF who
have fretfulness thrust upon them?' st.

Climbing n Cathedral Tower.

A most peculiar custom which has
been preserved since the middle ages at
Friburgen-B -Brisgau is that of climbing
the cathedral tower upon the anniver-
sary of the birth of the reigning Duke of
Baden. The tower is 400 feet high, and
to scale it from the ground to the apex
is very difficult performance, attended
with great danger. 1t is done by climb
ing from one projection to another, these
being on the average one foot apart. A
single false step means death. To de-
scend is also no easy task. Each person
who makes the climb and descent safely
receives 8 marks from the state and q
ticket of admission to the annual dinner
given in honor of that Chicago

Ali who shall lead us thither?
Clouds in the evening sky more darkly gather
And shattered wrecks lie thickly on the strand
Who leads us with gentle hand
Thither, oh, thither,

To you, ye boundless regions
or all perfection, tender morning visions
Ofbeauteous souls, the future pledge and band.
Who In life's battle firm doth stand,
Shall bear hopes tender blossoms

To lead us with gentle hand

GE MS IN VERSE.


A little bird sat on an apple tree,
And he was as hoarse as hoarse could be;
He pruned, and he prinked, and lie rufled his
throat,
But from 1t there floated 10 silvery note
"Nota song can | sing" sighed he, sighed he;
Not a song can | sing" sighed he.
In tremulous showers the apple tree shed
Its pink and white blossoms on his head;
The gay sun shone, and, like jubilant words,
He heard the gay song of n thousand birds,
"All the others can sing" he dolefully said;
"All the others can sing" he said
So he sat, and he dropped. But rs far and wide
The music was borne on the airs warm tide
A sudden thought came to the sad little bird
And he lifted his head as within him it stirred
"If cannot sing can listen" he cried;
"Ho! ho! l can listenl' he cried.

A Miracle of Love,

knew u man who seemed n soulless thing,
A hopeless plodder in u dreary way,
Careful in nothing, save that day by day
His humble task its small reward might bring.
His world was girdled by narrow ring
OF common duties, knowing not the sway
OF pains and pleasures moving finer clay.
So dull content reigned as his chosen king
But one day Love came knocking at his heart,
With mighty passion fearing not defeat,
And, like man awakened out of sleep,
He felt new life through all his being start
A noble impulse, new, and strangely sweet
And walked where stars in mighty orbits
sweep.

Much Is Required.

'Tis wisdom's law, the perfect code,
By love inspired,
OF him ON whom much is bestowed
Is much required;
The tuneful throat is bid to sing;
The oak must reign the forests king;
The rushing stream the wheel must move
The tempered steel its strength mus
prove;
'Tis given with the eagles eyes
To face the midday skies.
If am weak and you are strong,
Why then, why then
To you the braver deeds belongl
And SO again,
If you have gifts and have none,
IL have shade and you have sun,
'Tis yours with freer hand to give,
"ris yours with truer grace to live,
Than who, giftless, sunless, stand
With barren life and hand

Prof. Smith, DR.. A. j. Humphrey, of
Galesburg, H., sent here by the
board of health of that city. and DR..
George L. Eyster, of Rock Island.
On motion of DR.. Cantwell. they

DIR. Eyster, of Rock Island, wrote
on the ''Collection and Disposal of
Garbage" DR.. Eyster favored mu-
nicipal oversight of the disposal of
garbage. rather than the contract
system in vogue in many places.
The remedy for the contamination of
streams and rivers with the filth of
cities he found in the cremation of
garbage. The paper was short and
to the point.
Drs. Morehead, Cantwell. Prof.
Smith, and others participated in
the discussion of the paper.
