 Mr. Cortelyou also fntimates that he has "a few things up his sleeve" :" among them a positive antedote for the Taggart medicine, but he will not think of even limiting atstheir character and an impatient public must await Sep tember 15 with such fortitude as it can command.

It was con ducted from the Catholic church at o'clock yesterday morning and not withstanding the earliness of the hour there was a large attendance of thS little girls friends.

of the city hall. While the grief of the parents was that great dumb heart ache which only parents who bury their loved ones can know. still if was decided for the sake of the little girls friends that her funeral should moi be surrounded with gloom. Therefore in- stead of men to ct as pail bearers six girl friends were chosen from The class of Adella's first communion and two other members of that class acted as flower girls. They were dressed in white. Father Novatus celebrated the solemn requiem mass which was sung by Father Serafine and MT. Hartman. Between the child who was dead and Father Novatus there had existed T warm friendship and his informal re marks were full of a deep tenderness and very kind. He comrared life to T journey and thought that while death is always sad it was sweet to think that the little girl had reached her journeys end without long tarrying by the Wayside; that without treading the thornS or the way she had thus early won the crown. Secondly, he consol- cd the living in that death is not only aust to dust but also spirit ito spirit. ana that while the body is consigned to earth the soul returns to the dear God who gave it. Finally, there is the resurrection of the body glorified and the joy of reunion. Those acting as pail bearers were Misses Eva Luke. Viola Meehan, Hilda Steinegger, Isabel Forest, Anna Collins and Jacimina Righetti. Acting as flower girls were little Misses Augustine and. Cora Den neato.
 MT. and Mrs. Kinney are deeply ap- preciative of the many kindnesses that were shown their daughter in her ill., ness and of the numerous expressions of sympathy which they have received.

 The chief importance of Gyangtse, however. is its position at the junction of the road from Bhutan with the Jang-lam, the great high-road leading from China to Ladak, and connecting Lhassa with Shigatse, the capital of the Sarat Chandra Das describes as sim:- lar to an ordinary Indian unmetalled road. is the main highway of Thibet and in the event of the present expedi- tons pushing on to Lhassa, il will form the line of advance, as the Bhutan road has done since the mis- sion left Phari It's situation at this meeting of the ways has made Gyang- tse the depot for Thibetan trade with Bhutan. and it is possible that in th ? near future it may become the mart for vastly greater trade with India The commerce of Thibet now finds it's outlet almost entirely through China. and the lamas of Lhassa who draw a large revenue from Chinese royalties on tea and customs duties. are natu- rally strongly opposed to any opening up of trade with the south. The peo- pie of the southern provinces are. how ever, weary of the tyranny and exac- tons of the Lhassa hierarchy, and the present mission will earn their grati- tude in no small degree if 1t breaks down the barrier between them and India, and enables them to trade direct with country which will not only take all the exports of gold. borax salt. wool musk, and furs, but will furnish them in exchange with lux uries such as tea, tobacco. cotton goods and hardware. at a price far below what they now pay for these articles after travelling over some 2.000 miles Of road from the manufacturing dis tricts of China. As an instance of the profitable nature of Thibetan trade it may be noted that five hundredweight of salt costs l2 rupees in Chumbi (the nearest town to the Indian borderl and can be sold in Darjeeling, some so miles away. for SO rupees.

Smoke as Preventive of Frost.

NJ. Bignon has recently addressed to the French National Society of Agri culture a note giving interesting in- formation on the. efficacy of artificial clouds in preventing late frosts. For many years he has successfully prac- ticed this. His vineyard thus protected covers about 15 acres and is divided into five parts separated from east to west by walks l2 to l5 feet wide and circled by an avenue of equal width. These walks facilitate the placing of the fires which are built in small basin sunk into the earth and filled with 15 or 20 pounds of resinous matter and some pieces of pine and other vegetable debris The basins are some 50 feet apart.-Science

WOMEN IN NEW PROFESSION
In Boston Certain Authors Employ Educated Assistants in Obtaining
 Literary and Historical Data.

Among the new ways educated women have discovered to earn com fortable living in Boston is one that might be called the profession of "au- thor's assistant" Who would have thought a score or more years ago that a writer of novels could develop into such a captain of industry that he could relegate to the shoulders of a corps of helpers the drudgery of delv- ing for his materials? Yet such is the fact in the case of many of to-days well-known fiction writers. They pay, and pay well, for having historical in- cidents and mysteries dug out of an eient library records Then, having collected and sifted their facts. they get down to work and turn out a book. It is true that many of the successful authors have moved to New York, but the resources of the Boston public li- brary are so great that the authors assistants work here by correspond ence.
 The work of the authors assistant is no .haphaZard undertaking The author who employs her gives explicit directions. He intends to write a novel. say. about Louis XI. of France or Henry VIII. of England. or George Washington. In a general way he has worked out his plan. dealing with some particular incident. But in order to perfect the plot. make the charac- ters true and portray the real life of the time he needs an endless lot of detailed information. He must know all there is to be known about his in- eident or period.

 It IS to be feared that the worthy babus enthusiasm for the Thibetans, coupled with the knowledge that no man of his day was in a position to question his facts. has more than once led him to exaggerate the marvels of the various monasteries and palaces which he visited
 The town of Gyangtse is. roughly speaking, somewhat over mile long and half mile across, lying nearly aas. and west North of the western end stands the monastery on hill some 250 feet high. while few hundred yards to the southeast a precipitous, cragey peak rises from among tho houses of the town to a height of 600 feet. This is crowned by the now fla nous jong. or fort, of Gyangtse-a formidable stronghold of the usual Ihlbetan type, the steep cliffs being defended by the ramparts of dry mud and stones so gallantly stormed OF July by the Gurkhas and the Royal Fusiiers. The monastery and the Jong were built in the fourteenth cen tury by the renowned King Choigyal Rabtan, whose history in two printed volumes is among the treasured archives of the Lhassa government.
