European Women In Tibet.

Miss Susette Taylor, one OF the very
few European women who has ever
visited Tibet. gave some interesting
particulars OF the customs OF the PEG
pie Of that mysterious land recently.

being polite TO you after his own
manner, the projection of the tongue
being civilty equal 10 our shaking
hands. which in his country is not
etiquette. On one occasion Miss Tay-
Tor strayed into Buddhist temple at
prayer time. and her parasol was con-
sidered such an interesting article
that prayers were interrupted while
the lama borrowed II and then opened

To prevent tho mischievous forest

the General Land once, has issued
circulars warning tho public against
carelessness. inasmuch as many fires
start from neglected camp fires, and
makes the following requests:
1. DO not build a larger fire than
you need.
2. Do not build your fires IN dense
masses OF pine leaves, duff and other
combustible material, where the fire
IS sure TO spread.
3. DO not build your fire against
large logs. especially rotten logs,
where It requires much more work
and time to put the fire out than you
are willing to expend. and where you
are rarely quite certain that the fire
is really and completely extinguished.
4. In windy weather and In danger
GUS places dig fire hole and clear

6. Do not build fires TO clear OF

During the trial OF a suit to enforce

witness in the case gave the most
damaging evidence against the defend
ant in the suit, once the husband OF
a very prepossessing blonde. With
very great frankness he told how the
defendant had mistreated his wife In
almost every imaginable way. and
how on ore occasion he (the witness)
had intcrfered to save the poor WON
an from beating.

Russian spinster ForecIosed on Peas.
ant Woman's Mate.

A peasant woman. residing In the
village OF Bjelosaschek. In the Gov
eminent OF Wilma. Eastern Russia,
found herself without money on the
eve OF festival. and was very sad
on that account. Her husband was
known far and near as ne'er-do-well,
and therefore she did not reckon on
any help from him. In her distress
she turned to her neighbor, an elderly
spinster. and requested the loan OF a
few roubles. But she could not give
any security. II really do not possess
anything that could give you as Sc
curity," she said. unless you care to
take my lazy husband In pawn" To
her great surprise the woman received
the loan, and with the money went
into the village to make a few pur-
chases. The idea OF her obtaining a
loan on her husband appeared to her
very droll. Great was her astonish-
ment on returning from her shipping
expedition to find that the old spin
ster had disappeared with the worth
less husband. The deserted wife did
not trouble to make inquiries con-
corning Ler spouse. On the contrary,
she rejoiced at her deliverance.
