Why Birds Live Lone.

Why do birds live so much longer
than mammals, which are often hum
dred times their size? Possibly, among
other things, because they have beaks
instead of teeth. All carnivorous
beasts become weak and liable to star
walton, as their teeth drop out or
break. Neither are the herbivorous
animals In much better case. Old
lhorses would probably die of starva-
'sioa IL wild, for their teeth would fail
them; indeed, in some stony countries
old horses have to be killed because
their teeth are worn away by cropping
grass close to the rock. Rodents con-
stantly die from injuries to teeth. But
q birds beak neither wears out nor
drops on. and as it constantly swal-
lows fresh grit to aid in grinding food

One large turquoise supplies the ever
present bump of wisdom on Gauta'
mas forehead, but otherwise there is
no decoration.
But, when one enters, the luxury
that has been denied on the central
figure is seen to be lavished on the
ornaments that strew the kyilkor or
altar shelves beneath the Buddha.
One great wrought steel chorten with
chased courses and turquoise and gold
ornamentation stands out among a
crowd of lesser ones of brass or sill
yer, antique worries from India, vases
with peacock feathers, and great brass
and copper lamps. These lamps are
perhaps the most striking ornament OF
a Buddhist shrine. Sometimes single,
there may be dozens and even hun
dreds, each composed of wide and
deep bowl of heaped-up butter, In
which, floating in a little pool which
its own warmth has made, burns a
single wick with a small yellow flame.
"These are the last things that the
priests will take away. If they fear
looting they will hide every other
ornament, replacing them by the
strange, many-colored erections Of
butter (torma), which they mold
with extraordinary dexterity into con-
ventional structures, sometimes FIVE
and six feet high. But the lamps
must and do remain, whatever the
risk, and one of the pleas brought for
ward recently by the Abbot of Gyang.
Use was that fine to be paid in but
ter might be committed, as they need
ed all the butter they could get for
ceremonial use on their hundred
altars-and, they urged. with shrewd
flattery, it was we'll known that the
British never interfere with the re-
ligion of the countries into which
they made their way"
The architecture of the buildings
in Tibet will prove of extreme inter
est to archaeologists, for many of the
structures are of immense antiquity,
while others are exact copies Of
famous buildings dating from the
early days of Buddhism which have
since been destroyed. AS for the
treasures in manuscripts which may
see the light as result of the open

How the Waiter Lost a rlp.

where the colored walters give espe-
clally good service. but always expect
adequate remuneration for the same
from the guests, a waiter was espe-
cially officious the other day in serv.
ing man from whom he expected a
liberal tip. When the meal had been
served and he was standing off at one
side, eagerly looking for an opportu-
nifty to be of service, he said to the
guest:
Didn't yo' have brothah heah last
week, sah?"
NO" said the one addressed, 81 be-

what looked ve'y much like you, and
he was so well pleased with the serv-
ice that he gave me so cents when he
left"
The guest had by this time finished
his meal, and as he arose he said to
the expectant servitor:
Come to think of it, Sam, that was
my brother that was here, and guess
he paid you for the whole family. He
may be back again in week or two. /"

penetrated into its most sacred halls,
tibet bids fair to justify all that has
been written of 1t as land of con-
tinual surprises, of extraordinary con-
trasts, of hidden wealth. Indeed, judg-
ing by what the British have already
seen, undreamed-of treasures exist in
this extraordinary country, and in GER
tain directions the civilization of the
Tibetans is much more advanced than
has been supposed.
The newspaper correspondents with
the British mission" have had plenty
of time to explore the most secret re-
cesses of Gyang-Tse, and the local au-
thorities have shown themselves most
complaisant when requested to show
the visitors around. In view of what
happened to the Tibetans who opposed
the advance of the expedition this
complaisance is not unnatural.
Some of the accounts of what the
correspondents saw make delightful
reading. The London Times repre-
sentative, for instance, tells of a wall
painting, done by some unknown en-
amel process, in the great lamassery
of Pal-khor Choide, a quarter of a
mile from the jong of Gyang-Tse. "As
one leaves the chorten and enters the
main temple" he says, IAN exquisite
ly painted Wheel of Life (if we may
accept the rough translation which
Rudyard KipIing borrowed for Kim
from Col Waddell of the Indian Med
fcal Service) meets the eye to the

vestibule to the central apartment.

Verdict of New York Writer Who Spent Week the :

The Worlds Fair at st. Louis is
How in the midst Of It's splendid sea
son. Colossal, complete, cosmopoli-
tan, 1t commands the attention of the
world as no other enterprise of the
present year. From all nations there
are pilgrims coming to this shrine,
and from all our states and territories
there is constantly growing throng

Governors Of States, men eminent in
science, art and letters-all express
unqualified admiration for the EXPOSE

the Worlds Fair inspecting the
grounds, buildings and various attrac-
