mysteries which surround the sacred
city, but only three have ever done SC
ard come out alive. No living Euro
pean has ever seen the Grand Lama
Only one Englishman ever got tc
Lhasa and came back again, and that
was Thomas Manning, a great friend
Of Charles Lamb, in 1911.
However, at various times Indians
and Chinese have got there more or
less in British interests, and the In
dia Office has a special secret service
in Its employment, the members of
which have, at terrible risks, obtained
information which has been duly
pigeon.holed, SO that, though we have
not seen Thibet nor Its famous Grand
Lama, we are not by any means igno.
rant concerning either.
Lama simply means priest, and the
Grand Lama is the head Of all the
thousands of priests with which the
capital city abounds. The whole
country is divided into four sections,
called 'lings," and lama rules over
each Of them. The Grand Lama Is as.
sisted in his government by council,
consisting Of a Prime Minister and
nine other representatives. including
minority of laymen. Two IAN.
bans" or Chinese residents, are the
only officials stationed in the city in
an ambassadorial capacity. Though
the government is nominally a theoc.
racy-entirely religious, that is-the
man who really makes the wheels go
round in Thibet is the Prime Minister,
or Gyalpo, as he is called.
The relations existing between the
Grand Lama and his Gyalpo are as
peculiar as they are interesting-alto-
gether too much SO, one would imag.
inc, for the peace Of mind of the
former. 1t somehow became a tradi.
ton, which is now regarded as in.
that the Grand Lama shall
never live long. and tradition nova
days further fixes his departure from
this world at some date between his
thirteenth and fifteenth years. There
is really no physical reason why the
head of the State should not live as
long as any other inhabitant Of the
sacred city, but as the Thibetans
would soon be in state of panic and
fear. that the end OF the world had

CARDINAL
BLOOD se9,z.
HAPPINESS

It is a fact that, with impover-
ished or unhealthy condition Of the
blood, suffering, ill health and I'M
happiness must result.
Rich, Red, Radiant Blood means
to the possessor splendid health,
and health means happiness to the
vast extent physical condition may
exert its influence.
Do you suffer from nervousness,
weakness, brain fag, loss Of energy,
a sluggish, tired body, with little,
if any, ambition and vitality Do
you feel that you must have rest
and are unequal to your daily tasks
and responsibilities Does your
body ache and pain all over from
lack Of circulation and proper nu-
trition1 Does your system need
to be built up and held there1 II
these and similar conditions exist,
speedy relief and permanent cure
are within your reach.
The Globe-republican., 1904-01-28

doubt that the Gyalpo has previously
arranged all details concerning tne
finding of this child. The people be
lieve 1t to be in effect the same Grand
Lama all the time-merely a change
of spirit from one body to another.
He is only consulted in state matters
in an emergency, and then his word
Is the last to be said on any question.
The Gyalpo holds his office for life;
any other arrangement might lead to
difficulties.
Though a religious potentate, the
Grand Lama has many lively distrac.
lions, and 1t is said that one of his
predecessors INDUCED in designations
to a scandalous extent. Amongst the
chief festivities in which he partici,
pates is kind Of lama carnival,
which lasts for fifteen days at the
beginning of each year. On the sec
ond day he gives grand banquet, and
on the third there are sports. One of
these-which is called the dance
of the gods" and which the Grand
Lama never fails to witness-consists
of a long cable of leathern thongs be-
ing stretched from one Of the pima
cles Of the palace to the ground far
below, and down this steep slope two
men, lying on their chests, and
spreading their arms out as If they
were swimming, slide with the speed
of an arrow. Occasionally they are
killed in the process.
On the thirteenth day Of the second
month of the year the Grand Lama
undergoes a kind of annual vindica-
ton. A poor Thibetan is hired to play
the part of demon He is dressed
in weird fashion, and his face is
painted in a mottle of black and white.
He is met by a representative of the
Grand Lama, and the two engage in
what is supposed to be theological
in which the Grand Lamas
man scores heavily.
Then they agree to decide all CUES
tions in dispute by resort to dice, and |
the Grand Lama has never been
known to lose, because the dice are
always loaded. 1t would be an appal-
ling omen If he did, and 1t has to be
sffectually guarded against The

W0RSTED IN WITTY CONTEST
Young Society Woman Got the Best
of Chauncey DepeW.

Chauncey Depew was badly worsted
the other afternoon in a contest of wit
with a young society woman Of Wash.

fairly even battle until the Senator
ventured to praise a certain young
woman who for some time has been
endeavoring to work her way into ex.
elusive society. The youthful matron
with whom Chauncey was conversing
does not view this aspiration with
favor, and he was aware Of the fact.

A CALENDAR WATCH.
First One Cost 8O0.00-Msds For
Napoleon Bonaparte.

First One Cost $4,000 o--Mads For
Napoleon Bonaparte.
A watch that tells the second, min
ute, hour, day Of the week, day Of
month, and changes Of moon, is .
time-piece that until recently could be
owned only by the nobility because Of
the high cost. The first one cost 1880
and was made entirely by hand and
consumed over two years time in con.
struction. About 80 years later Swiss
concern placed some on the market
which could be sold in this country for
about 5000 each.
This watch that has hitherto been
sold at price which only the well-to-
do could afford has just been put on
the market at a low price and it is
watch which fills a long felt want. II
a watch tells us the hour and the min
ute Of the day, why should not the
same machine tell us the day Of the
week, day Of the month, and month Of
the yearP A prominent manufacturer
has realized the usefulness, If not tho
actual necessity Of such a time-piece,
and by simplifying the mechanism and
arranging to turn them out in large
quantities, has, after several years Of
work and the expenditure Of a large
amount Of money, succeeded in pro-
ducing watch thoroughly reliable in
every way. This watch is a perpetual
calendar as well as time-piece, and
what Is of more interest to the public
is sold at price but a fraction above
that Of an ordinary watch Of like grade.
Contrary to the supposition Of the
uninitiated, it is not an intricate as
sembly Of complicated parts, but is as
simple as any regular time-piece. On
the dial, in addition to the small sec.
ond dial, it has three small dials Of
like character, one showing the days
Of the week, another the days Of the
month, while third shows the month
of the year. By an ingenious attach
ment to one Of the wheels, when the
hour and minute hands show midnight,
the small hands indicating the days Of
he week and the days Of the month,
move forward automatically one day,
thus saving the wearer the necessity Of
the calendar attoobment

His Seat.
Much surprise was evinced when
Che young millionaire Robert Win.
shrop Chanler defeated Major Francis
G. Landon in the race for the New
York assembly. The explanation may
be found in story which seems to
indicate that Mr.. Chanler either has
q good idea of practical politics or is
being guided by veteran at the
game. Everything was going well with
Major Landon's campaign, despite his
A.. unpopular move in declaring against
the acceptance Of Pullman passes,
when Mr.. Chanler invested $4,000 In a
prize bull, which he invited all Of the
farmers Of the district to call at his
place and view. The ruralists went
into raptures over the bull, and, when
they expressed a wish that they might
own such an animal Mr.. Chanler
promptly presented each with a card
giving him an interest. These cards
were distributed without discrimina-
ton to all raisers Of cattle, and the
prize bull became the common prop
erty of the county. Against this sort
Of competition Major Landon's fight
was hopeless.

Women Leave Organization on Cues.
ton Of Divorce.

s'o'' VI D'so'NS'
An organization of Catholic women
was formed in New York city recent.
ly which had for its object, among
other things, suppression Of the di.
vorce evil. Miss Annie Leary, a lead.
ing member of the 400, a personal
friend of Mrs. Astor and papal
countess, was one Of the principal
movers in the new enterprise, but II
is understood she and Mrs. Frederick
Nelson, also one Of the leading WON.
en- of the Catholic laity Of the United
States, have withdrawn from the So
ciety, the reason being that a rule
was recently adopted that all mem.
bers pledge themselves to abiure the
society Of divorced persons. Miss
Leary numbers among her friends
Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont and other
notable divorces. Mrs. Nelson, the
mother of Mrs. Hollis Hunnewell,
who recently divorced Arthur l. Kemp
and was remarked soon afterward,
followed suit.

CHARITIES TO BE KEPT UP.
Forecast Of John D. RockefeIler's Last
Testament.

1t leaked out the other day through
the statement Of a prominent business
man Of New York city, whose &C.
quaintance with John D. Rockefeller
Is a close one, that the terms Of the
Rockefeller will are so drawn that the
numerous charities to which he now
contributes regularly will receive the
same benefits yearly as they do now.
1t isn't known whether this will in
clude the University Of Chicago Or
not, but IL does include scores and
scores Of institutions and private
charities which are kept alive largely
by the generosity Of Mr.. Rockefeller,
and Of which the world at large knows
but little.
