The English expedition which is just being sent into Tibet to force an in gterview with the Tibetan authorities in regard to the: nonobservance of treaties recalls the incidents leading up to the signing of those treaties in 'l890 In March of that year q Chi- nese ambassador resident at Lahassa arrived at Calcutta with large following and a week later a treaty was signed. Sikkim, 8 small Hima- alyan state joining Tibet but allied to the Indian government since 1914. was to- be treated as British feuda4 tory state with free trade and pas sage through the country. The rajah of Sikkim later made a. secret trip to Tibet and was finally s! arrested at Nepaul and now lives in retirement
 The Tibetans have always caused more or less trouble in Sikkim. In 1S8s,. before the last treaty with Tibet

This led to a military demonstration on the part of the British. One thousand troops were sent ostensibly to repair the road to Tibet The rajah proved obstinate. The Lingtu fort was quickly captured, upon which the Tibetans fed The fort was destroyed, and later Col. Graham, in charge of the expedition, was attacked by the Tibetans, who were repulsed with a loss of 200 men. This ended the trouble for the time being, but Tibet continuing her aggression, the expedition returned and engaged the Tibetans at Jelapa pass. the latter being defeated with about 400 killed and wounded, A small war occurred with Tibet in 1884 on account of tEe robbing of mer- chants of Nepaul, and in 1895 Tibetans committed further depredations.
 We speak of Tibet as being the for bfdden land and think of her as al- ways having been a mysterious and unknown country. but such is not the case. AS early as 127S she was vis- ited by Marco Polo, by the Jesuits in 1861 and, something over century and quarter ago, the British gov- ernment through It's Indian officials held close and important negotiations with the Delai-Lama In 1773 two rep resentatives were sent by the ruling lama tos Bengal. They brought pres ents, among them sheets of gilt leath- CT stamped with the black eagle of Russian armorial, showing that Russia at that early day was in close touch with the country. In the present cont plication Tibet is expecting the help of Russia.

the Dalai Lama, in return sent MT. George Bogle in 1774 to Tibet. He was received with great hospitality and kindness by the lama at Deshe- ripgay and made him a long visit. The lama became so attached to MT. Bogle that he intrusted him with treasure to build a temple and dwell- ing house for the accommodation Of his votaries to Bengal upon the banks of the Ganges. A piece of ground on the opposite side of the river to Call cutta was purchased and granted to the lama for the purposes desired In .1779 when the lama visited Picking he asked MT. Bogle to go around by sea to Canton. promising to secure pass for him from the emperor to join him at Psking Unfortunately the death of the lama from smallpox at Picking, and very soon thereafter that of MT. Bog1e, frustrated every expectation.
 Just what the outcome of the pres ent British expedition will be is un- certain, but it can be asserted with reasonable confidence that not many years hence will find the country of Tibet more accessible for the traveller.

PAWN THEIR WIVES.
Cartons Custom Exists in Some Parts
 of Madras--Authorities Try ing to Suppress It.

They have curious way of utilizing wives and daughters in some parts of Madras, says Golden Penny If man wants money he puts these members of his establishment in pawn, and his cred itor detains them until the debt is dis- charged. The custom varies in different localities. Tn Nellore the Yercalls pledge their daughters to creditors, who may either marry them or give them away, and man who has to go to jail deposits his wife with another man of her tribe until his return. Tn North Arcot un- married daughters are frequently mort gagged, and become the absolute prop erty of the mortgagee until liquidation.
 Tn some parts men sell their wives for sums of G5 or so, and have no fur ther claim upon them. s
 The authorities as far as possible put down these economical expedients, which, we are afraid, would find favor elsewhere were they permissible, and we can fancy the strange aspect of so. cial life which would then be presented
 Thus man would be heard saying to his wife when a heavy bill had to be met: T am afraid we cannot manage without 1t, my dear; we must pawn Juliana:" or, supposing him to have de- posted his wife, he might say to his lit- tie child: If you are good girl, my dear, I will give you treat, and take out your mamma" Under such con- ditfons children would become pledges of affection" in more senses than one.

The most refined method of removing crumbs from the table is considered to be the use of a table napkin and either small silver tray or an ordinary plate. The metal crumb, scraper is still in use in many homes, but the napkin is pre- ferred by those who follow closely the customs of the day.
