SOME QUEER PEOPLE
IN CHINESE TURKESTAN
The Lolos Have Customs Entirely
Different From Other Parts Of
the Empire.

Writing of the Lolos of Chinese Turke-
stan, Rev. w. NJ. Upcraft says: The
men wear a loose blouse and wide short
trousers, made of blue cotton cloth, over
which a stout plated felt coat is thrown
which reaches from the neck to the knees
and is useful by day in cold wet wea-
ther and at night forms an ample COW
ering" So far as / remember they wear
long trousers, too. To quote again from
the same writer: "One peculiar feature
is the manner of dressing the hair. In
stead of wearing a queue in the way
adopted by the Chinese, the Lolos allow
the lair to grow long in the front, then
braid it into kind of horn above the
forehead, so that it becomes the most
conspicuous object about them. The
women folk wear a short jacket, often
finely embroidered, over a plated skirt
not unlike a Scotch kilt. Their feet and
ankles are bare-a fine contrast to the
cramred deformed feet of the Chinese
women" They bave well formed figures
and even features. The ease with which
they go about their work attracts the at
tention and wins the admiration of the
traveller.
On this special occasion L found the
whole family sitting around a big log fire,
watching the cooking of a cow, which had
died from the cold, in an enormous iron
pot. When they considered the carcass
cooked the housewife took a big wooden
spoon, several feet long, and shoveled the
contents of the pot into small tubs, which
we're placed before each man, likewise
good supply of rice
Wooden spoons were used in eating;
chopsticks 1 did not see. These tubs were
carefully watched and replenished as soon
as a diminution became noticeable.
When the principal performers could no
longer indulge the tubs were passed to
the younger and inferior members of the
household, and between them they man
aged to put out of sight both cow and
rice. Beds were not muse, so L was of
fered the use of grain chest-quite
dignified place compared with the rest
