THOSE ATHLETIC WOMEN.

Muscular Members of the Sex in New
York to Be Well Provided For.
Strenuous indeed is the modern |
woman. She has added about foot
to her height, if the illustrators are to
be trusted; she goes in for outdoor
exercise in large quantities, wears
mans shoes and has her own mans
outfit, without having to borrow her
brothers collars and ties. He does
not borrow hers because they are too
big for him. She must have room to
exercise in, when she cannot tramp
the roads and the golf links, or row
or paddle or ride or shoot; and so she,
with some friends, has started a wom-
ans athletic club.
1t was only a few weeks ago that
the club was started. Very soon it
will be incorporated as the York Club,
and in no long time it will own club
house. 1t has already bought a site
for its house-not on any side street,
mind you, but on Madison avenue;
and it is going to erect a siX-story

track, bowling alloys nuash- courts,

How A. b. Frost Cut Coupons.

A certain Philadelphia art club has
a custom of creating a great deal of
fun at the expense of new members
to test their mettle and good-fellow-
ship. This, as may be imagined, is
excellent fun for the assemblage Mt
large, but is often very trying to the
lone target of it all. Shortly before
the election of A. B. Frost, the illus
traitor of farm scenes. it was reported
that he possessed considerable wealth.
At the first club dinner after Mr..
Frosts name had been added to the
roll. the members were primed to de-
rive amusement from his debut.
Hello, Frost" called one when the
new member appeared in the dining
room, 81 hear you are doing nothing

Queer Code of Penances-Praying by
Mechanism.

For centuries Tibet has been almost
and the result of the expedition under
Col Younghusband, which the British
have sent into the region, will be
watched with interest. The high
priests, or lamas, of Tibet have ever
denounced the foreigner as an incar-
mated devil, and they preach that so
long as Tibet remains isolated from the
rest of the universe, so long shall she
be great. A few missionaries and ex-
plorers have wandered across the cor
ners of this great tableland, clambered
up some Of its snow-clad mountains,
and visited a few of its stone cities;

enemy's prayer wheel and revolving II
in the wrong direction in the belief
that this will certainly assure an I'M
happy hereafter for the luckless own
err. This alone IS sufficient to convince
the observer of the state of spiritual
degradation into which the people are
plunged.
Tibet as at present constituted is
clearly no place for white men, nor can
it be said to offer many advantages
under high safe Of civilization. In
addition to its typographical shortcom-
ings, of which mention has already
been made, climate plays no small part
in making it undesirable for purposes
of settlement. August, September, Oc-
tober and November are the only
months which can be considered dry"
rain or snow contributing to render the
remaining months unpleasant. Accord
ing to Zoubikov, the average annual
temperature is AZ degrees for morning,
81 for noon and 80 for night, a varia-
bility that, to say the least, cannot be
conducive to comfort.
A not unnatural result or the conul
lions which have so effectually barred
communication between Tibet and the
outside world is the maintenance of 6
very small army. 1t is said that there

square miles, an area equal to Ger
many, France and Italy combined, is
still unknown to the outside world. On
the maps of the world there is no 9th
er such white patch as this in the cen
ter of Asia.
From the account of travellers Tibet
would seem to be land where religion
is supreme. The people obey their
priests with almost slavish obedience,
and accept the most marvellous teach
ings with utter credulity. The lamas
possess most Of the wealth of the coun-
try, and consequently they have rea-
son to fear the foreigner and. the In
trusion Of the explorer.

petition into Tibet was undertaken in

in his ordinary capacity as a soldier
he is in as little danger of committing
atrocities as any man in the world.
In the entire Turko-Russian cam
paign not single case of unwarranted
bloodshed came to my notice, except
in the instances where the Circassian
Cossacks became bloodmad in certain
raids and slaughtered right and left,
as indeed even our own soldiers have
done. Far from treating the wounded
Turks with Indifference and cruelty,
the Russian soldiers, even while they
remembered the fact that the Ottoman
generally killed every wounded Mus
covite he found ON the field, more often
than otherwise paid friendly attention
to them. and among the officers this
generosity sometimes went so far that
they took better care of the enemy's
wounded than they did of their own.
Trusting their officers implicitly, a
command from them means to the SOL
diers that they obey without question.
They are as stubborn as they are pa
tent. and never imagine that anything
is impossible. Asked if they think that
they can take a position they always
answer: 1--WE don't know, but we can
try" and under the most harass'ng
conditions they always maintain that
steadiness which has been their prom
inent characteristics as soldiers for ten
centuries.
This is why they have never had
serious panic in the army. Napoleon
gave testimony to their stubbornnes'
and their steady behavior. The Turk;
found in them the same qualities tina
the French did. two generations before
and it is reasonable to believe tina
these great factors of effectiveness viii
be- if anything, more valuable nov
than ever.

spiritual guides. who do not lose an
opportunity to terrorize them. One
thing that contributes "a keep these
priests in. power Is the fact that the
people believe them to possess god
like powers, and wonderful are the
tales travellers tell of remarkable exhi-
billions going to support this belief.
Human sacrifices are alse said to be
component part of the, religion Of the
country, which is described as being
but a veneer of Buddhism over a body
of savage and uncouth superstition. AS
may be imagined, the spiritual, aes-
thetic and moral sides of the people Of
Tibet are in a very primitive condition.
In the country districts the principal
occupations are agriculture and cattle
raising. Labor of all sorts is very
cheap in Tibet, the men being paid but
2 or cents day, while the women
generally receive but their board and
lodging. Where the country Is not a
barren waste the principal products are
wheat, barley, peas and beans, the live
stock raised including horses, asses,
mules, cattle, sheep and yaks. AS In
everything else primitive methods pre-
vail, and prosperity is constantly abb
sent.
The population, which has at times
been estimated at over SO,OOO,OOO
whereas tenth of that figure would
probably be nearer the mark, Is rap
idly ON the decrease on account Of the
prevalence of disease, the chief Ill be
ing smallpox. Dirt abounds every
where. as explorers soon discover Il
their great disgust. The reason for thi'
state Of affairs is not hard to seek
since dirt is considered sacred, ant
washing Is religiously tabooed.
Religion amounts to a passion Wit
lamas and laymen alike, but 1t Is IL
many ways a religion of but formal oh
servance Prayers are regarded as
great potency, and the lamas have de
vised an ingenious method of saying
great many prayers in short space

THE RUSSIAN SOLDIER.
He Is Brave, accomplishing, 0bedient

Writing of the Russian soldiers,
Frank D. Millett, former war corre-
spondent of the London Times, says:
l have marched with them in the heat
and dust of the waterless region of the
Dobrudscha; have wallowed with them
in the mud for weeks during the disas-
trous campaign on the LON; have suf-
fered with them in the depressing days
after the Plevna defeats; have slept
with them In the trenches during the
dull siege of that stronghold; have
waded through the snow and bivouack-
ed with them through the long winter
campaign; and finally have reJoiced
with them when the treaty of peace
was signed at San Stefano-and L
know what rareand unsupported quail
tiles these simple peasants develop
when the exigelcies Of active service
demand of then that they should be
men.
The first popular reproach against
the Russian is hat he is cruel and i'm
placable as al enemy. The catch
phrase. "Scratd a Russian and you
will find q Tatar,' while true in q
