Strange Myths of the Tibetans.


The Tibetans have numberless
strange myths, one, the most curious.
pertaining to the sun, moon and stars
The sun is believed to be an immense
ball of yak meat and fat. whereon
the spirits of departed ancestors are
supposed to feast, the light being
caused by its heated condition. The
stars are portions of this immense
feast, which. dropping to earth, give
birth to animals for the sustenance of
suffering humanity. The moon is
lesser ball of similar texture as the
sun, in use while the larger one is
being replenished for the morrow.
When sun or moon fails to appear in
cloudy days and nights it means that
the deities are undergoing a period
of fasting and religious abnegation
And the parched and sterile condition
of bleak regions is ascribed to the
fact that many thousand years ago the
sun ball slipped from the hands of it's
keepers, descended too near the earth,
and, before being recaptured, scorched
those parts with which it came in con-
tact.-Booklovers' Magazine.

Indictment of Aristocracv

That the idle rich of to-day are
worse than the French aristocracy is
the opinion expressed by Lady Helen
Forbes in a recent number of an Eng
llsh magazine. The French aristoc-
racy, she says. was obliged by the
despotism of the crown to live in The
capital and grind down its dependents,
but the modern idle rich live the life
they lead from choice And the wo-
men she finds are worse than the
men, at least in England. When the
South African war came to prove the
mettle of the country, many of the
men of the idle rich stood the test
They went out and faced reality But
the women failed. Some of them, too,
went out to South Africa with a lie in
their mouths, and particularly black
and cruel lie, too They made the
lfe-and-death struggle of the empire

ton with lovers, under cover of a pre-
tended desire to be of use.
