The San Francisco call., 1898-06-05

Following this worship came feast, of which the first course was boiled meat cut into small squares.
 Boiled greens were next served and then the dish of Thibet-the wooden bowl-was handed to each guest, and each bowl contained piece of butter.
 Tn Thibet fresh butter is at dis count, and that from two to three years old at a premium, and as the Buddha is served with the best in the land the butter in America would not have been termed gilt-edged.
 An attendant poured hot tea into the bowls and we were invited to drink the beverage, which we did blowing the floating butter aside; and I had cause to be thankful that 1 wore a mustache as it acted as a sort of bar rier against that dreadful butter.
 Before the tea was all consumed a skin of brown barley meal, made from grain which is parched before grind ing, was passed around.
 Into this skin, the dried stomach of an animal, each man dipped his hand and stirring the handful of meal into the remaining tea ate the mixture with the finger which did the stirring. Each guest then cleaned his own bowl by the simple and entirely satisfactory process resorted to by ones pet re- triever and the feast was concluded.
 The Buddha's kindness to me throughout my stay in Thibet was un- varying At my departure he presented me with the passport, the only one, so far as known, issued to a foreigner.
 "The sentence, This passport con- tains a drop of gold, is from their greatest proverb and signifies the most sacred friendship.
 ''The choice Of Buddha's successor is based upon the theory of reincarna- tion.
 At his death the lamas carefully note the exact hour and minute, and search is made for a male child whose birth corresponds to the date of the Buddha's death. When the child is found it is at once borne away to the temple where it is reared as the living Buddha, whose soul is supposed to have entered it's body.
 Tn the temple district or center there are $500 resident priests with even greater number travelling about the counties performing their various of- fees.
 Tn Thibet there is system of edu- cation for the priests, but none for the people, and though occasionally a man outside the priesthood may be found who can read or write, there is not one woman in thousands who can do so.
 They are a generous people. and the trend of their nature Is religious. In habits and appearance they resemble our North American Indian more than any people among the numerous races 1 have met.
 "As with them, all work is per formed by the women, the men em-
