consists in training themselves In ath-

The 100000 of Thibetans are ex.
pected to support 433, 242 priests of the
new school of Buddhists. Among
these are 1000 reincarnated lamas,
who receive a special education and
are treated with great reverence. The
government employs 165 official priests
by royal appointment and the same
number of lay officials. The depart

affairs, war and treasury, all have their
own ministers.

In their habits, and for this reason
they consider the Chinese extremely
clean. Many of the men have only one
wife apiece, while as many as a dozen
or more men have but one wife for the

Strong British Force.
China, Which Exercises Suxerafnt,

England's so-called peaceful ad-
vance into Thibet with q force from
1000 to 5000 strong. led by Col Young
husband and Col. Macdonald, Is the
subject Of much discussion by Euro
pean statesmen. Russia is suspicious
or the movement. From the English
governments standpoint the expedi-
uon Is to support and protect the COM
mission sent to more rigidly enforce
the treaty between Great Britain and
Thlbet; also to gain new concessions
and, more than all, to enlarge the
channels OF commerce and see that
Russia gets no more favors than Eng
land.
Before the expedition started the
chinese government published in the
Peking Gazette an official memorial
from the amban reporting a conference
with the Thibetan state councillors. at
which he urged them to abandon the
policy of obstruction and to be reason
able and discuss in a friendly manner
trade questions with the British COM
missioners who would cross the from
tier. The memorial was an indication
that China herself would place no seri-
Gus obstacle in the way of negotia-
lions. Since the expedition started the
Chinese government has made no pro-
test or remonstrance of any kind; on
the contrary, II has given evidence
that 1t regards the expedition with ap-
proval.

Wanted at the Athenaum.

Copies of our annual town reports,
school reports and village reports, pre-
ceding 1896, are desired at the Athe-
naum; the intention being to obtain
complete sets, and to bind and shelve
them tor ready reference.
This is one item in collection which
is being made OF all books and pamphlets
relating to St. Johnsbury events, inst
tutions and people. The bound volumes
of the CALIFORNIAN for &c years and
recent files of the Republican form the
basis of this collection. Chronologically
considered, the Letters of Hector ST.
John, 1892, and the Poems of Josias l..
Arnold, 1897, are at the head of the list.
Latest in point of date are set OF spec-
men official ballots and instructions used
at our last general election, Sept. 6. To
many people who have never seen the style
of ballot now used. a ballot that is more
than two feet long and wide in proper
ton, is something OF a curiosity.
Besides the annual reports above indi
Gated. the librarian of the Athenaum
will be glad to obtain pamphlets or leaf
lets of-any sort relating to st. Johnsbury
events Or people. These ifnot in sets will be
filed under suitable headings. Miscellany
that seems unimportant at the time is
likely to be examined with interest in
later years.
Any published material whatever,
especially OF earlier date, whet her histori-
cal, biogra phical, educational, religious,
social, business or other, will be well
coined at the Athenaum. as helping to
complete a collection of local memoir
anda, gathered and kept for the
benefit of the public.
