TIBET lTTle KNOWN.

Closed Land Possesses Great Fasci-
nation for Explorers.
Tibet is the least known region on
the habitable globe, though teeming
with features of interest for the scien-
list, the ethnologist and the student of
aboriginal mankind in general, says
the Booklovers' Magazine For many
years this great CLOSED land' has pos
sessed extraordinary fascination for
travellers and explorers, but the we'll
nigh insurmountable physical barriers
and the barbarous hostility of the III
betans have often frustrated the most
indomitable and persevering explorers.
Forming high tableland almost in
the very center of the Asiatic CONT
nent, thousands Of feet above the sea
level surrounded on all sides by noun
tain ranges among the highest in the
world, and covered throughout its
whole extent with appalling deserts,
vast salt-swamps and immense ice-coY-
cred plains, Tibet is not land which
would attract the traveller in search
of beauties of landscape When one
has travelled through its arid wilds the
impression left on memory is that of
a combined Saharan desert and antarc
tic ice plain. Never a tree is seen,
and scarcely a flower, except for few
months in the year. Mountains cover
ed with soil, which, by thrift and in
dustry, might be made productive, are
left in their wild state for the growth
of coarse grasses, furnishing scanty
pasturage for the small herds of
scrawny cattle. More favored regions
are inhabited by small herds of wild
asses, antelopes and yak, affording
subsistence to a sinister and uncouth
population.
The sterility of the landscape is re-
fected in the natives. 1t would be
impossible to imagine people more
unenlightened and barbarous. No spark
of civilization has yet made itself felt.

Poultry for the plum trees and swine

Any animal that is worthy of a place
on the farm has right to good keep.
Make the hens scratch for a living
by scattering their grain among litter.
Do not undertake to run things econ

When geese have plenty of room
they do best when allowed to forage
and secure their own food.
One advantage In the use Of dry
dirt for the dust boxes is that 1t also
prevents lice

the shops are worth visiting. Even
for those who do not intend 10 buy" 20
use the old catch phrase, IS there a deal
TO repay observation. Let the shopper
be not be disappointed il the gowns
sketched here do not appear in many
forms. These are not days of wide dapli-
cation, and while the general points of
these model dresses viii appear, there
will be a-plenty else to repay search. So
far as a like number OF designs could be
representative, these models are fair
showing
The first was q black taffeta dress,
with heavy lace and velvet bands, also
in black, for trimmings. Its peplum is
a characteristic of the season. In order
from the left in the next picture are a
navy blue silk, with girdle of darker blue
velvet, and with embroidery in the
darker shade enriched with plentiful
supply of both gilt and steel; heavy
brown poplin. self-rutiied and finished
with darker brown velvet. and dark
red camers hair embroidered with the
lavishness so characteristic Of the use of
such decoration. Then in the conclud-
ing illustration. see. in the same order,
heavy brown zibelline. self-banded and
with jacket edged with white broadcloth;
dark green serge, self trimmed and
with darker green velvet belt. and gray
cashmere set of with gilt and pink pa
phque. Among fine models the average
OF embroidery will be found to be great
er than in these selections. Some dresses
seem to carry all that there was room
for, and among simple costumes would
seem like over dressing but evidently
their makers are sure that they will APP

Amns1nr the EskiInn.

What to make of the white man the
Eskimo does not know, and probably
never will know. says the Chicago
Record Herald He is Ito laugh at"
He comes from some fantastic country
beyond the limits of the Imagination,
and he brings with him customs more
fantastic than his country. The limit
of his comic and insane possibilities,
as seen by the Eskimo, was probably
reached by the performances of an ar
list in the Peary expedition of 1896.
Peary's desire was to get some good
casts of the Northerners; but why an
inofensive highland Eskimo, living on
the very edge of the northern world,
should be stripped, scrubbed, laid fat,
surrounded by wall of clay and COW
cred with wet plaster of paris was
problem which defied the most strenu-
Gus powers Of the Whale Sound intel
lect.
Why quilts should be stuck in his
nose and his face covered with the
same white stuff is still a problem.

Preserving Fence Posts.

The well-known methods of preserv-
ing fence posts and wood, which are
partly embedded in the earth. are only
effective when both the charring and
tarring are applied. Should the posts
only be charred, the charcoal forma-
ton on the surface would act as an alb
sorber of the moisture, and, if any
thing, only hasten the decay. By ap-
plying coating OF tar, without pre-
vious charring, the tar would only
form a casing about the wood, and
would not penetrate to the depth
which the absorbing properties Of the
charcoaled surface would insure Wood
that is exposed to the action of water
or let into the ground should first be
charred, and then, before it has entire
ly cooled, be treated with tar till the
wood is thoroughly impregnated The
acetic acid and oils contained in the
tar are evaporated by the heat and
only the resin is Lett behind This pen
etrates the pores of the wood and
forms an alright and waterproof en-
velope. 1t is important to impregnate
the wood a little sbove the line of ex-
posture.

1t is hard to say what causes rheu-
matism among hogs, although it may
be generally found that they have oc-
cupied damp quarters at some time
during their growing period. Medi-
zine may or may not do them good.
but it is safest not to fool with drugs
The better plan is to let them have all
the charcoal and wood ashes they will
eat, supply them with clean, dry bed
ding. and tempt them to exercise by
turning them out on good range
where the grass is thick and fresh.
All corn should be taken from them
during the summer and the feeding
of grain should be confined to mid
1lings or bran, with more or less clean
slop in which vegetables are literally
placed. Clean water for drinking may
be supplied, but no inducement offer
ed the animals to root or to waliow.
Swine suffering from rheumatism
should be kept in a lot by them
selves and be given special care.

back in surprise as he saw the dark,
strange man.
Mary's first impulse. as she gazed into
those repulsive features, was one of fear
and disgust; but that feeling quickly
passed away. and as she next met his
gaze there was a soft, strange light in
that single eye that completely disarmed
her of her fear. She remembered how
she had been once fascinated by that gaze
when she had reposed in those stout
arms, and she remembered how he had
spoken TO her. She could even now
feel the thrill that went leaping through
her soul as those incoherent words fell
upon her ear. And the longer she gazed
the more did she become used to his de-
formities, and the less repulsive did they
appear.
And Paul, too, was strangely worked
upon. Surely Buffo burlington had
betrayed him; but might he not have
had some powerful reason for it? One
thing was sure; argue with himself as
he would, there was a strange spirit in
his soul which yearned toward that dark
MN.

Notes About The Farm,

A good rotation for a stock farm is
corn, oats and grass.
Spread manure as it is hauled out,
save labor and secure the best results.
The average farmer should buy as
little and sell as little feed as pos
sible.
The greatest profit in feeding sheep
for mutton is gained while the animals
are young.
Animals cannot thrive their best on
dry food alone, no matter how rich
and plentiful
Brittle and rotten hoofs are caused
by horses standing in soft ammonia
breathing manure.
The variety of sheep is not of so
much consequence rs is the item of
securing a good growth of wool.
A rapid taking on of fat is not al
ways an indication of health and
thrift; quite often the contrary, in
fact
Above the food of productions that
goes to milk, a COW demands a food of
support in proportion to her size.
Bran is rich in bone, and serves an
other good purpose in keeping the
bowels open.
The first and most important item
in the dairy is to select the COW for
the special purpose for which she is
to be used.
The hog is only a machine for turn
ing grains into meat, and the greater
capacity it has for this the greater will
be the profit
The hlgh-grade butter COW will not
only give more and better butter than
the COW of no breed, but she win
make it at less cost
The system of farming is best
which markets the products of the
farm in the most compact form and
leaves fhe greatest amount OF fertiI-
izer behind.
For a profitable market fruit the
first consideration is fine appearance,
Tie beCO1lQ anu l4b
third quality. In fine appearance is
also included good size.
No cast-iron rule can be laid down
as to the exact size at which swine
can be sold to the best advantage, but
1t is always safe to have them just as
good as possible.
A dwarf tree is produced either by
root pruning, if growing on roots of
its own kind, or by budding on some
smaller growing stock, which will in
terfere with its growth in a measure,
as for instance the pear or ounce.

AS a rule, seeding plums have not
