Curious Contest For "a Bride In Tibe

Curious Contest For Bride In Tibet.
Among some of the wilder Tibetan
tribes in the KOkO-nOr there is curl
Gus marriage ceremonial function.
This consists in placing the girl, on
her wedding morn, in the upper part of
n tree, while her male relatives remain
on the lower limbs, or else in the back
part of her fathers tent or hut, while
these same relatives guard the en-
trance, in each case the latter being
armed with lolo thorn sticks.
The groom, when these preparations
have been completed, rides up and an
nounces his intention Of selling the
bride. This requires fOrtitude, for
the relatives beat him numerically
when he attempts to reach the woman.
If he manages to elude his aSsailants
and touch the toe of the woman she is
his, he is welcomed into the family
and c0mplimented on his ardOr. Should
he fail he suffers not only the incOn-
venience of being wifeless, but the
loss of cattle and other presents given
during the negotiations. By the sale
of a girl to one man, however, the ia
Their does not relinquish his claims up
on her, but may sell her to other suit
ors who come afterward, until she may
have half a dozen MISUNDERSTANDING
ers' Magazine.

Bumps on the Head.

The lump raised by a blow on the
head is due to the resistance offered
by the hard skull and its close connec-
ton with the movable elastic scalp by
many circumscribed bands Of connec-
tive tissue.
The result of blow, when the scalp
is not cut is the bruiSing and lacera-
ton of many of the SMALL blood YES
sells or capillaries. Blood or its fluid
constituent, serum, is poured into the
meshes of the surrounding connective
tissue, which is delicate, spongy, dis
tensible and cellular, and the well
known bump or lump is quickly
formed. This cannot push inward at
all and naturally takes the line of least
resistance Similar Jumps may be
formed on the shin in exactly thu same
way, for the shin bone also is covered
only by skin and subcutaneous con-
nective tissue.

Fact and Poetry.

An English fox hunter of celebrity
had been asked by publisher for a
book Of "reminiscences. But I've never
written a word for publication" he
said deprecatingly. "Of course, I've
had adventures in the field in plenty,
but
Have you never had any connection
with literature?" asked the publisher.
The master of the hunt shook his
head
'By Jove. yes, havev' he exclaimed,
his face lighting up. years ago
Whyte-Melville came to me with a
hunting poem he had written For my
criticism, he said. l read it through
and told him it was good, only there
was one place where he was a little off.
Hounds have broth, not SOUP said l."
"Well?" said the publisher hopefully.
The master of hounds looked grave
again. 81 don't think that counts" he
said reluctantly. "The next line ended
in 'whoop,' and Whyte- Melville reject
ed my suggestion"

KILLS GERMS or cATARRH,
Hyomei Goes to the Root Of The Dis
: ease and Makes Astonishing Cure.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use
of pills, liquid medicines and soscalled
system tonics Under such treatment
the germs of the disease will still live
in the air passages end increase and
multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and
thorough way to cure catarfhs Killing
the germs in the air passages, 1t enters
the blood with the oxygen, destroys
the microbes in the blood and etfectual-
ly drives from the system all traces of
catarrhal poison,
Thousands of testimonials have been
given as to the astonishing cures made
by this remedy. J. s. Nugent. treasurer
of the American Union Life Insurance
Co., of New York city. writes: "Hy-o-
mel has completely cured my daughter
of catarrh from which she has been suf-
fering for years"
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers of Hy-
omei to cure catarrh is the fact that D.
q. DodsOn will agree to refund the
money if you say Hyomei has not cured
yon.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81. 90 and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried In the vest pocket, medicine
dropper and bottle of Hyomei. The
inhaler lasts lifetime, and if onsboUtlee
does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei
can betObtained for 30 cents.
Now Ia good time to cure your

Which Eve Is Strongerg

Here is a little test for your eyes
that will soon show you which Of them
is the stronger. Place an object about
two inches in diameter on a level with
your eyes and move back from it about
ten feet. Then point to it and take
sight along the top of your pointing
finger until the object and the tip of
your finger are exactly in a line with
the eye from which you are sighting
Next open the other eye and see if the
object seems to have moved from the
straight line If it has not moved to
one side apparently, the eye with which
you first looked is the stronger, as the
addition Of the others vision does not
change the focus. If the object seems
to have moved it proves that the other
eye is the stronger, the difference be-
ing measured by the distance that the
object appears to have moved.
Try sighting with both eyes open
first. Then look with first one eye and
then the other and see how far out of
line each makes the object appear. The
one that is farthest out of line is the
weaker eye-Chicago Journal

A Drop In Values.

An odd story of Emerson was told
the other day by a Cambridge man.
"a New York woman" he said, "call-
ed on Emerson one morning. The phi.
losopher was reading in his study, and
near him on a plate there Icy a little
heap Of cherry stones. The visitor
slipped one of the cherry stones into
her glove. Some months later she met
Emerson at a reception in Boston. She
recalled her visit to him, and then she
pointed to the brooch she wore-a
aro0ch of gold and brilliants with the
cherry stone set in the center.
Z took this stone from the plate at
your elbow on the morning of my call,
she said.
"'Ahn said Emerson. I'll tell my
amanuensis Of that. He will be pleas
ed. The young man loves cherries, but
1 never touch them myself"

Cameo Cutting.

Before the discovery of onyx as the
material specially adapted for cameo
cutting the ancients cut them on soft
stones, eggshells and other materials.
The Greco Roman, and especially the
Augustan, period was rich in canoes,
and almost every great Roman wished
to have his portrait cut in onyx. One of
these, an exquisite portrait of Emperor
Augustus Caesar himself, is perhaps
the finest existing cameo. Such por-
trait canoes were practically indestruc-
tible, except by accident. Some large
cameOs-the Triumph of Bacchus" at
the Vatican, the agate de There at
Paris and the "Gemma Augesten' at
Vienna-are splendid works of art.
There was a change from the CLASH
cal and NEUROLOGICAL designs of Greco
Roman times to Christian themes in
the fourth century, when Constantine
the Great became a Christian.
At the renaissance classical art re-
covered its lost position Renaissance
cameo cutters were very skilled work
men, but in spite of their general high
level they did not succeed in making
any very important cameo, although
the ''Hymeneal Procession of Eros and
Psyche" realized a high price.

a Pioneer Patentee.

1t is rather remarkable that the first
patent taken out in America should
have been secured by an Englishman.
1t was in the middle Of the seventeenth
century that an Englishmar named
Jenk secured a monopoly in nerica
for the sale Of hand machira FOR ex-
tnguishing fires which he ha, invent
ed in England some years pr 3viously,
but did not test its practical working
until he migrated to America. The mo-

but Jenk made a very ample fortune
out of his sales of the apparatus.-Lon-
