INTOLERANCE OF THIBETANs
Natives Not Permitted to Perform
the Slightest Service for
Foreigners.

To show the severity and tyranny Of
the authorities over their subjects,
will relate what happened to one of my
escort for complying with most harm
less request, which, unfortunately, I
had made to him, writes Capt. j. H.
Baldwin, in Chambers Journal.
One morning, when starting for the
hills, as usual, in search Of game, we
happened to pass the spot where our es-
cort had spent the night. I noticed that
one of the party-the youngest and most
pleasing looking of the group-was
seated on the ground repairing the soles
of his boots with some narrow strips of
hide. Remembering that one of pair
of my own shooting boots required
mending, asked Dhun Singh to take
1t over to the man when we returned in
the evening, and to try to get him to do
what was required. On the following
morning my boot was brought back to
me, roughly repaired, but once more fit
for use. I sent small present to my
Tartar friend, and thought no more
about it. Some days afterward, while
I was in my tent about midday, Dhun
Singh called me outside. The poor fell
low who had mended my boots was
standing beside him. The other three
Of the Tartar guards were not in sight.
CHANGING anxiously behind him, to make
sure that he was not being watched, the
man suddenly threw off his sheepskin
coat, exposing his back and shoulders,
and showing the he had been recently
most cruelty and shamefully beaten with
the lash. To my astonishment, Dhun
Singh informed me that this terrible
punishment was the result Of the Tar
tar's having complied with the small
request had made of him to repair
my boot.

GERMAN SANITARY HOUSING
Much Is Being Done by Building So
cieties Of Germany to Benefit
Working People.

According to United States CONNER
cial Agent Harris at Eibenstock, a
great deal is being done in Germany for
the benefit of the working people, espe-
cially in the matter of providing them
with suitable dwellings. Large man
ufacturing establishments, municipal
bodies. charitable organizations and
private spectators, Mr.. Harris says,
have each and all done much toward
lettering the hygienic conditions and
general welfare of the skilled workman
and his family in every part Of the en-
pire. Since 1912 the Prussian govern
ment has expended about s., 000, 900 In
dwelling houses for the coal miners in
the district of saarbrucken and the min
ers repay the loan by monthly INSTALL
ments without interest. Similar meth
DDS were adopted with success by the
royal munition factory at spandau. The
building societies of Gladbach, Barmen,
Dresden and other cities Of the empire
have also proved successful in that re-
spect. The Krupp establishment at Es-
sen takes the lead in providing COM
Portable houses and cottages for the Ia
boring classes. In 1901 the value of the
dwellings used exclusively by its work.
men was $3,875,0O There were 1000
houses of two rooms each, 1859 houses
of three rooms each, 448 houses Of four
rooms each, $50 houses Of five rooms
each, GO houses of six rooms each, and
"a houses of seven rooms each. making a
total of 4,274 houses. During the past
ten years great improvement has TAX
en- place in the conditions surrounding
the dwellings of laborers, and the in
creased attention on the part Of munic-
ipal authorities to sanitary arrange
ments and the police laws against too
many persons occupying one room, Com
mercial Agent Harris says, have had q
salutary influence. df

"DEAR MRS. P1NKHAM: med.

hoping to get relief but finding that
their medicine did not seem to cure me.

wrong was going on, and ran softly
to the door and listened. He heard
q low voice curse Mike for an Irish
fool, for bringing the wrong key, then,
while Mike was evidently gone after
the right key, he heard enough con-
versation between the two who re-
manned to make him understand that
they were going to give Mediator a
shot.
"You don't know what that means?
Well I'll tell you. A strong solution

any visible lameness at once, still, is
enough to ultimately knock any

except in an ice wagon.
What do you suppose this blessed
boy did? What you nor /, nor $4,000
other men would have done. He
rapidly and as quietly as possible un-
hitched Mediator's halter strap; backed
him out, and then did the same
for the horse in the next stall, which
he led into and tied in Mediator's
place. then he tied Mediator in the
other horses place.
HE had barely completed this ex-
change and was still in the stall by
Mediator's head, when the door opened
and the men came in, closing the door
after them.
II wish you could have heard the
boy tell this part, he said.
'Sho, nuff, Mars, All done turn
white, an nah teef rattle so All hat
ter hop nah ha'id.'
presently the boy heard the horse
in the next stall make a half dozen
vicious kicks, and he knew the men
had administered the dose, then they
sneaked out, locking the door behind
them, satisfied that they had done
their work well.
CATER everything had grown quiet
the boy returned the horses to their
proper places and went to sleep again
in the hay.
"You may be sure that after hearing
this lost no time In getting some
more money into action, and also, that
when that boy showed up on the
grounds in the afternoon he didn't
wear that old straw hat. either.
II never found out for sure who It
was that put up the job, for no threats
would ever scare Mike into giving
them away, and as did not care to
have the truth known, had to let the
rascal get of scott free.

afternoon, when I saw my gallant

youngster came walking under the

DRINK KILLING ENGLAND.
What the Average Expenditure Of
Each Family Amounts To and
What They Drink.

The chief cause of our industrial de-
cay" writes Margaret Poison Murray,
In the Contemporary Review, 'the real
ghost In the cupboard, is, without any
doubt whatever, our great national
hobby, drunkenness-the one national
and universal panacea for the ills OF
men and women, old and young, high
and low, rich and poor.
ION this hobby our direct expenditure
last year was ESQ, 600, 900, about e25 q
family ($125), plus the cost in poor
rates, homes. refugees, police, prisons.
hospitals and asylums for the devoteea
of the habit. But what is the cost to the
country, from an industrial standpoint.
In brain and muscle, in the deadened
mind, the blunted intellect?
Men at the head of our large indus
tries may drink II they will. No tenn
perance crusade invades their sacred
precincts. But in an industrial competi-
ton which is rapidly becoming an in
dustrial warfare this weak point in their
armor is the first to reveal itself.
"The artisan, the backbone of the
country, is in plight still worse, for in
addition to his general ignorance, his
narrow horizon, his antiquated tools
and methods, his unalterable conviction
that he has nothing to learn, he must
meet the brunt of the warfare handi-
capped by his intemperance.
"And worst of all, we are in very
actual possession of 100000, about
one in four Of our population, who are in
AFFECT poverty, too incapable for any
thing, even for anarchy; men and wom-
en- who stand around the streets of our
large cities by the hundred thousand
fold, bloated, dissolute, black-eyed, sin
full, dishonest, degraded, debauched.
When a man spends childhood, youth
and manhood in refining surroundings
We anticipate certain result-the nat
ural outgrowth of such conditions.
When man passes his entire life in an
atmosphere more debasing than pen can
portray we are surprised at the natural
outgrowth Of the conditions. We ex-
pect a miracle and in our chagrin we
organize vigorous crusade against the
man-not against the conditions-and

In common with humanity this man

believe that these 100000 crave for
whisky. They. crave for something they
do not possess. So do we all. But their

citizenship. Instead of an incubus the
man may be commercial asset and the
thought is enough to haunt our philan-
thropy for the rest of it's life"
