Kowshing was commanded by Capt.

for the enormous expenditure necessary
to prompt from nature something which
she will not yield even If strenuously

Eastern reports of the inner workings
in national democratic politics continue
to link the name of Samuel Alschuler, Of
Chicago, with the vice presidential can<
didacy. 1t is argued as matter Of party
policy that Alschuler is the most avail
able candidate for the second highest
Office in the gift Of the people.
Because he has automatically man
aged to keep out of the rival democratic
factions in Illinois, 1t is assumed that he
would be the best man to sooth any ele-
ment of discord. His attitude toward la
Dor has been such, it lis claimed, as would
receive the undivided support of the
working classes.

A Japanese marriage Is essentially

ton is5remarkable for : total absence
Of sentiment Of any kind. There Is moth
ing characteristic of q religious eere
mony about 1t. 1t is regarded by. all
concerned merely as civil contract;
and the presence of q priest is deemed
quite Unnecessary even by the most de-
vout worshipers of Buddha.
ALI preparations for, marriage are
undertaken by the friends of both par
ties, and the couple themselves are about
the last persons whose advice is sought.
The engagement which precedes the
marriage is of short duration. Such a
thing as an engagement ring is quite
unknown. In its place the young man
gives his betrothed rich sash OF colored
silk. The giving Of presents is quite a
curious feature of the engagement.
These are given SO lavishly that when
the time comes to set up Housekeeping
the young couple find their resources
almost exhausted. A bride receives no
dowry, but she is provided instead with
2 trousseau and the necessary. house
hould furniture. Embroidered silks take
the place of jewellery, which latter is
not worn by the women of Japan.

Onion stuck in Har Ear.

Ethel Root. Of Philadelphia, Pa, q
years old, found a pungent piece Of onion
an effective cure for earache, but it also
necessitated her going to the Samaritan
hospital to get rid Of the cure. She had
suffered severely from the pain in her
ear, and on the advice Of friend tied
q piece Of onion against the ear cavity
by means Of q 'bandage about her head.
The application so much relieved her
that she hesitated to remove 1t lest the
pain return. When she took the bandage
of the onion could not be removed and
she had to go out to the Samaritan hos
pital, where DR.. Carpenter extricated it.

barren and inhospitable wilds is that
Thibet left to herself would dampen even
Russian ardor for expansion.
For scientists and geographers the
opening Of Thibet will mean much. The
secrets of the mysterious city of Lassa,
which has defied all attempts of white
explorers to reach it, will be laid bare
Practically the last of the great unknown
tracts Of the habitable globe will disap-
pear, and with the subsequent spread Of
civilizing and humanizing influences will
in turn disappear the curious features
of one of the strangest races of the
world.
AS is natural to suppose, the features
of the landscape are reflected in the ma
tives themselves. AS race they are a
dirty and filthy lot of the most degraded
savages, building no substantial DWELL
ings, except among the agricultural
tribes in the eastern districts bordering
on the Chinese frontier, but with their
herds of yak and horses wandering over
the country, living in small tents made
of yak skins or in cave dwellings. By
nature the Thibetan is glutton and will
eat wherever and whenever opportunity
presents itself.
Both men and women are ugly, with
huge features. They have great faith
in the pernicious habit of disfguring
themselves with paint and strange tattoo
marks and cicatrices. There is no settled
form of government outside Of the un-
stable hierarchy at Lassa, the constitu-
ton of society everywhere being sim
pie. Almost every crime is condoned by
payment, this leniency causing a bru-
tally and bloody license which provoke
long protracted feuds and wars. Life
is held in little If any esteem and is
taken upon the least conjunction.
The real curse of Thibet, however,
is the powerful lama hierarchy. These
clergymen form nearly one-third Of the
entire population Of the country and are
rulers in substance If not in name. Mag
ic, charms, Fetch, rosaries and other
MYSTICAL. emblems constitute the main
features Of the cult of lama Buddhism.
One Of the most peculiar features of the
Thibetan religious side Of life is the
prayer wheel. It forms a strange sight
indeed to watch the Thibetans going
about their daily avocations monoton-
ously, and by practice apparently I'M
consciously, twisting these instruments
The worship Of deceased ancestors
is carried on among all tribes, the ma
tfves at different periods digging up the
bones of these illustrious forbearers and
relfgiously washing them.

carrying Chinese lanterns The brides
relatives take their seats in one end of
the principal apartment, while the bride
groom's friends sit opposite. The bride,
dressed entirely in white, is led into the
room by two richly attired young girls.
The bridegroom, who has already taken
seat in the middle of the room, makes
no sign of recognition, but keeps his
eyes fixed on the ground, while the
bride seats herself opposite him. A
table is then drawn forward, on which
is placed double-spouted kettle filled
with hot sake.
Another table, loaded with eatables,
is placed before each person, and the
feast begins. The two girls who es-
corted the bride into the room hand cups
of sake to the guests, who are expected
to drain them to the dregs for luck.
After this ceremony the bride and
bridegroom retire for short time to
change their costumes. When they re-
turn the two bridesmaids fill three cups
with sake, and hand them to the bride
and her parents-in-law. Three cups are
imbibed by the father-in-law, who then
gives the vessel to the bride. She in
her turn drinks three cups, and receives
. present from his hands. Another
course, usually rice or fish, is now
brought forward, and the bride goes
through the same ceremony of drinking
with the bridegroom's mother, after
wards receiving another present. A

cups of wine are drunk all round.
Then comes the great event of the
evening. This is the almost sacred sake
drinking by the married couple, which
appears to constitute kind of mar
riage service. The bridesmaids bring
forward the double-spouted kettle and
present it to the lips of the married pair.
These drink alternately from it until its
contents have been exhausted, the act
being emblematical of the way in which
they intend to share one anothers joys
and sorrows.

the whole affair passes of quite silently.
There Is no confusion. Each person
knows what is expected Of him. and does
1t in a mechanical way that gives the
proceedings an air of monotony. After
the marriage the bride continues to live
in her father-in-law' house; for it is an
almost invariable rule that a welded
couple shall dwell during their first
months of married life at the house of
the bridegroom's father.
