Teshu Lama died before II could be carried
out. Ten years later Turner was de-
spatched by Hastings to Tibet on a similar
mission and received an equally cordial
welcome from a subordinate official. Every
thing pointed to the adoption Of steady

Nepalese invaded and overran large

From various sources Of information
our author was able TO get a fairly clear
conception Of the Dalai Lama's face and
figure He is we are told. thick set.
about five feet nine inches In height, with
a heavy. square jaw, a nose remarkably
long and straight for Tibetan, eyebrows
pronounced and turning upward in a phe-
nomenal mnnner-probably trained so. to
make his appearance more forbidding-
face peck marked. general expression
nsolute and sinister, He goes out very
little, and is rarely seen by the people,
except on his annual visit TO the monastery
OF Depung and during his nigratlons
between the Poiala and the Summer Palace.
He was at the Summer Palace, 1t seems,
when a messenger brought the news that
the British advance could not be stopped,
but he went TO the Potala to put his house
in order before projecting himself into the
unknown. II his faos be the index Of his
character. the Grand Lama is "a man Of
strong personality impetuous, despotic
and intolerant Of advioe in State affairs
He is constantly deposing his Ministers,
and has estranged from himself large
section Of the upper classes. both eccle-
siastical and official owing TO his waywa ri
and headstrong disposition. As child.
he was 80 precociously acute and deter
mined that he managed 10 survive his
regent or guardian and TO upset the tradi-
tional policy Of murder, being the only
one out OF the last five incanations Of the
Bodhisat to reach his majority. since he
took the government Of the country into
his own hands he has reduced the Chinese
suzerainty 10 mere shadow. and, with
fatal results TO himself, has consistently in

What grade OF civilization Is erempli-
fed by the Tibetans of to-day, or at least
by that part OF them who inhabit Lhasa
and its environs? As regards social ad-
vancement, their status apparently, is
almost identical with that which had been
attained by the inhabitants Of central and
northern France about the close Of the
fourteenth century. The status OF the latter.
it should be remembered was still mate
rally lower than that which had been
reached In the twelfth and early part Of the
thirteenth centuries by the inhabitants Of
Provence and Languedoo-before the Al
bigensian crusade. Our authors testimony
touching the social plane OF the Tibetans
ia uneauivocal and interesting. They
are not he says, the savages they have
been depicted. They are civilized. but
medieval The country Is governed on
the feudal system. The monks are the
overlords, the peasantry are their serfs.
The poor are not oppressed. They and the
small tenant farmers work ungrudgingly
for their spiritual masters, 70 whom they
owe, and pay. blind devotion. They are
not disoontented though they give more
than a 1.-THE OF their small income to the
church. 1t must be remembered that every
TO the priesthood, so that when we out
siders are inclined TO denounce the monks
for consuming the larger part OF the coun-
try's produce. we should remember that
the laymen are not the victims OF class
prejudice plebeians groaning under the
yoke Of patricians. 80 much as the servants
OF spiritual lords chosen from among them
selves and with whom they are connected
by family ties Our author, Of course
would not deny that the lamas, as the whole
body cf monks are called. employ spiritual
terrorism 70 maintain their influence and
preserve the temporal government in their
hands, or that when they speak Of their
religion being injured by the British intru-
sion they are thinking also Of another
and less concrete unwilling Of mysteries,
the dreaded advent Of an ago Of materialism
and reason when, little by little. their ig-
norant serfs will be brought into contact

existed between themselves and their
theocrats for centuries. For the moment,
at all events. the people Of Tibet are medi-

ordeals by fire and boiling oil, but in every

real ref0matories for our nonal inatl.

be cured aud restored 20 moral health,
rather saan degraded, punished and

What Is known IN England as the
nOratal plan o. an enlightened attempt
TO apply on a modest Scale this view
of crime and criminals. The scheme
has been on trial since October. 1909
ana ~ value has already been dem
onstrated. for Il Is proposed 20 es-
iabllsh a prison on the same principles
nj Lincoln. for the north Of ENGLAND.
The Borstal prison Is near Rochester
and oply prisoners between the ages
Of i6 and n arc confined there.
The theory Of the BOrstal method OF
administration Is that these juveile
adult offenders are the victims OF the
street. or bad surroundings, irregular
employment aud involuntary ldlonoss.
After they are sentenced a selection
Is made by the prison commissioners,
and the most promising are sent 20
BOrstal. In that Institution prison dis
clpllne is M the lrroduclhle minimum.
The Inmates are taught trades market
gafdonlng, physical drill. and encour.
aged 10 read and otherwise educate
themselves. "rhe result of an this
physical, mental and moral stimulus,
says a London review, rs that the at.
mosphere OF the place u full OF active.
spirited. energetic. cheerful life"
After q training OF from twelve 90
eighteen months most OF the inmates
are discharged. though n Is felt that
the time Ia too short for acquiring
fixed habits OF industry and the mas
tery of a trade. OF the lS2 "gradu.

The reclamation OF more than 40
per cent OF the prisoners "a regarded
as decidedly hopeful indication Of
the success OF the plan. and IT, friends
