The rhrns.Eaoed rIhetans.

The main difficulty OF the Indian
government in coming TO friendly
understanding with l.hassa Is OF u
singular character There are three
great influences in Tibet, the priest

largely antagonistic 10 both OF the
others, The monks, with the grand
lama at their head, wish to hermctical
ly seal every entrance for those west
ern ideas which might and would
probably ultimately destroy their au'
thority. Entirely different is the Chi
nese motive for opposing the develop
ment OF trade with British India, AT
present all the tea imported in Tibet,
with the exception OF t. small guam
tty struggled from DarjeeiIng, comes
from Western China and the large
profits so earned by the monopolists,
who carry ON the business, would be
sharply cut into were Indian supplies
allowed free entrance, But as these
are both OF better quality and much
cheaper than the stun imported from
S2echuan, the popular interest natu'
rally lies in throwing the trade open
There is another reason for that de
sire. Tibet is essentially sheep and
goat country and being so, II neces'

wool than its sparse population re-

annually, and as much better prices
are obtainable in India than IN China

would be delighted were free trade

Beautiful Relation OF Comradeship Be-
tween Modern Boys and Girls.
"There is nothing l envy the young
people of to-day so much as the good
fellowship between the young men and
the young women" said the observant
elderly woman. when l was a girl n
sharp line was drawn between the men
and the women and it was misfor-
tune. 1t made oOmradeship and good
fellowship between the sexes almost
impossible. 1t made man less help
full to woman and woman less helpful
to mar 1t made girl artificial to
keep constantly dinging 1t into her
that she should adopt certain manners
before the men, and it made the men
awkward and embarrassed.
~ know that l used to believe that
man was a rather odd creature with
interests that no woman could under
stand. thought he lived in world
into which no woman could enter. l
believed I must act entirely different
from my natural self when the men
appeared, and, to tell the truth. l cor

because she's woman. If she has a
horse of her own she does not hesitate

on helping her man friend to do the
sailing.
"A man is not afraid to ask woman
to go in for any iolGcation that he
honestly enjoys. If he likes to take n
long, hard tramp through the woods
he is apt to ask some congenlal girl
friend to accompany him rs a man
friend. He does not feel that he need
be anything but his natural self be-
fore her. He talks about all sorts of
things which interest him and finds her
very satisfactorily informed in regard
to them.

men has brought about some of this
od-fellowship, but I'm inclined to
think that great deal of it IS due ia
the increase of common sense among
women, and for one am heartily glad
of this comradeship which has sprung
up between the seXes."-New York

Leaves Money For Cat.

In 1891 an old woman left to the
British Lifebost Institution the sum
of $4,000 to be paid on the death of
favorite kitten which had survived
her and which was to be provided for

appeared and the courts have now
decided to assume its death and let
the institution have the money, on
giving it bond to provide for the cat
in case it should come back.

In laying drains it is best to cover
each joint with collar SO lifted that
the soil will not work in and fill the

down to point exactly the size OF the
tile the latter will not move internally,
nor cause trouble. 1t is best to make
