club tried to secure Right Fielder Jones
from Brooklyn, offering in exchange the
services of Mike Herman.

he would let Jones go for Herman provid--

TORTURED BY IH|BETANS
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE OF AN
EXPLORER.
Henry Savage Lander. Artist and Wri-
ter. Returns Home Almost a Physi-
cal Wreck.

Last summer Henry Savage Lander,
artist, author and traveller. and grand
son of the celebrated Walter Savage
Lander. undertook an exploring expe-
dition through Thibet. His objective
point was the sacred city of Lhassa,
to which entrance is forbidden on the
pain of death to strangers, and espc-
cially to Europeans.
Lander had almost succeeded in get
ting within the gates of Lhassa when
his disguise was discovered. and he
was taken prisoner. All his compan-
ions except two faithful coolies de-
serted him. The Thibctans inflicted
the most horrible torturcs upon him.
His body was scared with red hot ir-
ons until he was almost lifeleSS Then
he was condemned to be behradcd,
and was actually taken 10 the place
of execution.
The Grand Lama who appeared on
the scene. however, decided to com
mute LandOr'S sentence. His life was
spared. but for over u week he was
subjected to the agony of the rack.
How he survived can only be explain
ed by his marvellous fortitude and his
iron constitution. The torture con
cluded, he was babe to leave the coun-
try at once. and it goes without say
ing that he did not ta"Yv.

and handsome. After his return he

\ KANGAROO FAD.

That boom in kangaroo tails has
arisen in London is somewhat remark
able, considering that the old illusion
with regard to the exquisite kangaroo
tail soup has long since died out in
Australia. Once there was an idea
that the tail of the kangaroo made
the most enticing kind of soup posi-
BILE. Sallipash and callipee were not
in the running at all. Gradually peo-
pie in the country where the kanga-
roo existed and had his being found
out that there was really nothing in
it. When "A kangaroo's tail comes to
be boiled down and made soup of it
amounts to about the same thing as
so much gravy beef; there might be
certain gamy flavor about it, but
the decent and respectable OK is al
ways first. a kangaroo is lean and
miserable beast, is continually on the
lookout for danger of some sort, and
never puts on flesh, therefore, he Is
not an animal carnivorous folk would
desire. No, the Australians were wise
in their generation when they did
away with the notion that Kangaroo

That tina Sagasts ministry does not

beeu abundantly proved by the Difference
it has shown to requests from this gov
eminent. A ministry that was seeking
war could have found plenty of pretexts
for it. We have repeatedly made demands
upon Spain, and refusal OF some OF
them would in all probability have
brought on war before this. But Sagasta
has been more than obliging to us; ne
has been defereptial. If we could Do
sure that he was firmly established IN
power and could command the support OF
the Spanish people in any policy he might
FORMULATE. we might be pretty certain
that the Cuban question would be settled
without any collision between this coun-
try and Spain. But Sagasta's tenure is
frail. His policy of autonomy for Cuba
has never been endorsed by the Cortes,
and it is perfectly we'll understood that
the Spanish conservatives are opposed TO
it and will overthrow it if they can. The
nature of the relations between this gov
eminent and Spain in the Immediate
