The Sun is Made of Yak.meat.

The Thibetans have numberless
strange myths. one. the most curl
GUS, pertaining to the sun. moon and
stars. The sun is believed to be an
immense ball of yak-meat and fat,
whereon the spirits of departed an
cestors are supposed to feast. the
light being caused by its heated con.
dition. The stars are portions of this
immense feast which, dropping to
earth, give birth to animals for the
sustenance of suffering humanity.
The moon is lesser ball of similar
texture as the sun, in use while the
larger one is being replenished for
the morrow. When sun or moon fails
to appear in cloudy days and nights,
it means that the deities are under
going a period of fasting and religi-
GUS abnegation. And the parched
and sterile condition Of bleak regions
is ascribed to the fact that many
thousand years ago the sun-ball slip
ped from the hands of its keepers,
descended too near the earth, and,
before being recaptured, scorched
those parts with which 1t came in
contact.
These Illustrations, out of hundreds
that might be cited, at least give a
hint of the ignorance, superstition
and brutality of the Thibetans, as
well as of their heterogeneous tribal
relations, their lack Of any real ma

The President. Letter.

Speaking roughly. third of the let
ter is defense of the President by
himself, third is defense of the
protective tariff and the remainder
defenses of the policy of the party
toward the Philippines and the army.
In his personal defense the Presi-
dent does not seek to be accused Of
greatness, but confcsses 1t. With re-
markable modesty he says: mo other
administration in, orr history, no
other government in the world, has
more consistently stood for the broad.
est spirit Of brotherhood in our com.
mon humanity, or has held a more
resolute attitude of protest against
every wrong that outraged the civiliza.
ton Of the age, at home or abroad. y
In another place. he speaks Of the
settlement. OF the anthracite coal
strike "by. the. individual act Of the
President" showing that he does not
desire his greatness to be forgotten.
The only issue the President makes
with the party opposing him is that 1t

come into power calamity would come
upon the country.
He shows the Importance that he
places upon himself as an issue by
putting his personal defense first In

Fighting Roadside Weeds.
In some States there are county laws
which make 1t obligatory for those in
charge of the roads to see that road
side weeds are cut twice during the
growing season. first before July and
the second time before the first of
September. 1t would be well II such
law was in force In all sections,
and yet the fighting Of obnoxious
weeds seems to be one of those things
for which no law should be required.
Farmers ought to be more than will
ing to combine among themselves for
mutual protection, even going 30 far
as to cut the weeds in front Of the
farm of any man who will not do the
work himself. This would not need to
be done very often, for shame would
soon compel such man to do his
duty.
The main trouble with weeds, how
ever, is with such as are allowed to
grow inside the fence line, for few
farmers are willing to spend the timc
necessary to rid their farms Of these.
Combine with each other to rid the
roadside Of weeds, and then let every
man take care of those inside the
fence and elsewhere on his farm. II
this weed fighting was done systematic
cally instead Of spasmodically, It
would not require many years to de-
cidedly lessen the weed crop and ma
terially increase the valuable crops as
well as save much iabor.-Exchange.
