He must spend nine dollars in living

A First View of Lhasa,

From the Worlds Work.
Lhasa would remain Lhasa were 1t but
cluster OF novels on the sand, but the sheer
magniflcence of the unexpected sight which
met our eyes was to us almost a thing in
credible. Lhasa is city of gigantic places
and golden roofs, surrounded by wild
stretches Of woodland, acres of close-crop-
ped grazing land and marshy grass, ringed
and delimited by high trees or lazy stream
let's of brown, transparent water, over
which the branches almost meet
Between the palace on our left and the
town a mile away in front of us there is
this. arcadian luxuriance, interposng a
mile-wfde belt of green. In this LhaSa has
a feature which no other town on earth can
rival. Between and over the glades and
woodlands the city itself peeps, an adobe
stretch of narrow streets and fat-topped
houses, crowned here and there with a
blaze of golden roofs or glded cupolas But
there is no time to look at this; a man can
have no eye for anything but the huge, up
standing mass Of the Potala palace to his
left. 1t drags the eye of the mind like
lodestone. for, indeed. sheer bulk and mag
nificent audacity could do no more in archi-
lecture than they have in the palace tenn
pie Of the Grand Lama. Simplicity has
wrought a marvel in stone, 800 feet in
length and towering seventy feet higher
than the golden cross of st. PauPs Cathe-
dral.

Edible Cactus.
From the Century Magazine.

From the Century Magazine.
There are millions of acres of arid land
upon the globe, much of 1t, even with the
most persistent irrigation, yielding but
scantily, and enormous reaches of 1t devoid
Of all growth but the cactus, a foe to man
and beast; but Mr.. Burbank resolved that
he would reclaim 1t, not by irrigation,
though welcoming its aid, but by means of
the desert itself-the desert and it's cactus,
It's heat and its sun. So for a period Of
over ten years he has worked with the ut
most persistence and skill until at last he
has developed a cactus plant which will
convert the desert into a garden. He has
made the cactus thornless, taking from it's
leaves the hard, woody substance. the
spicules so dangerous to animal life More
than this. he has made it adaptable to any
climate. 1t will thrive on the hot desert,
but it will grow with marvellous fecundity
when irrigated or when planted in a richer
SOIL
But this is not all Of the marvel. He has
bred this dreaded scourge of the desert,
this pariah among plants, until 1t has be-
come the producer of delightful. nutri-
tious food for man and beast-until, in his
estimate, considering the unused areas of
the world where it will thrive, 1t will af-
ford food for twice the people now upon
the earth.

WOMEN AND SMOKING.
Has the Cigarette Succeeded the Pipe
and the Olden SnuffboxP
From the New York Sun.


In the contemporary novels, more es-
pecially those written by women, which as
sumo to depict the customs and manners
of our polite or our most supremely fash
ionable society. the heroines are usually
represented as cigarette smokers. In the
novels and stories of Mrs Edith Wharton,
for example, dealing with that phase of our
social life, the cigarette case is introduced
customary part of the equipment of a
woman of fashion. Whenever the heroine
is perplexed or would hide her emotions.
whether she IS sad, weary or joyful, in a
mood for reflection or for gay conversation,
she lights a cigarette. That is cigarette
smoking by women is treated as a matter
Of course.
Mr.. Assemblyman Sullivan of the first
district of Queens county, New York, has
long been a foe to cigarette smoking, from
which, in his opinion, come some of the
gravest evils of society, fashionable and
questionable; and accordingly bills to pro-
hibit the sale of cigarettes in New York
are introduced by him into the assembly at
every session. This year, however, he has
been especially stimulated to prepare and
introduce his usual bill for that purpose by
the fashionable cigarette smoking, as repre-
scented by fashionable novelists. Women
in society" says Mr.. Sullivan, have taken
to smoking cigarettes, and persons who are
on the ragged edge of society think they
have as much right" "All roads to ruin
are open when they Degln 10 smoke, as
Mr.. Sullivan's prophetic eye discerns.
Smoking by women, however, is not an
innovation of this time Half century ago
and more many women went so far as to
smoke pipes. These may not have been
of the society called fashionable, but they
were reputable women Snuff taking among
women, however, was prevalent in circles
of fashion, though by old ladies almost ex-
cusively. But the practices died away in
due time. If now fashionable mania for
cigarette smoking exists described by the
fashionable novelists, 1t will disappear, and
for the same reason.
Smoking cigarettes, like pipe smoking and
snuff taking, is not beautiful, feminine
accomplis hment. Leaving out its effects
on the nerves, 1t has physical consequences
which are at least not agreeable, even If
they are not as pernicious as Mr.. Sullivan
asserts. A young and beautiful woman
smelling of tobacco smoke and carrying
about with her the combined pungent odor
of burnt paper cannot be wholly charming
and the smoking habit is as likely to be-
come excessive with her as 1t is with a
man, till at last it makes her positively Of
fensive That result is obvious that the
spread and the continuance of the fashion
will always encounter the opposition of
feminine instinct.

Extravaganza in Butter.
From Good Housekeeping.

From Good Housekeeping
With the many signs heaved over grocery
and creamery bills, 1t is encouraging to
know that the crusade against butter at the
dinner table is rapidly gaining ground, part
ly because It has come to be the fad. Once
the fad is established as a habit. however,
1t will carry itself along. as it is a good,
sensible one 1t is a point in which we
Americans are more extravagant than per-
hapS other nations. A full dinner usually
contains. in itself more fat than can be
readily absorbed by the system, and super
fiuous fat tends seriously to retard even
disturb. digestion. To add butter out of

cause of too heavy diet, and in turn I'LL

while strongly advocating every economy,

habit. and eventually you will find they will
feel better satisfied minus than plus the

The Limit Of Speed Safety.

From the Four Track News.
The American travelling public Is incon-
sistent IN Its demands for greater safety
and at the same time greater speed. With
oonservatively progressive railroad manage
ment safety is the first desideratum. Yet in
providing this, together with the highest
rate of speed consistent Herewith, the rail-
roads often fail fully to satisfy the I'M
reasonable demands of thoughtless and
impatient public. 1t is simple thing to de-
mand a mile-a-mlnute pace without any
thought of what is involved. Should the
management of the railroads, forgetful Of
their higher duty, recklessly grant this de-
mand and an accident result. none would
be more ready to denounce that manage
ment than the men who had insisted upon
the speed which caused ii.
The American railroads have reached very
near, II not quite, the speed limit of safety,
and there is no occasion for any higher
speed schedules with an attendant risk
Twenty hours between New York and Chi
cago may be set down as the shortest rea-
sonable and safe pace likely to be expert
enced in this age and generation, and that
is only possible by making the run with
few stops and over a model roadbed along
the natural highway. with almost no grades
and a straight, level track.
In demanding more speed the average
man thinks nothing of possible conse-
quences. He simply wants something diff
ferent; he is never satisfied.

GRIZZLY BEARS AND PANTHERS.
Afraid of Man, Says Wyoming Hunter
Dangerous Only When Attacked.

From the Louisville Herald
In the mountains of Wyoming where I
have hunted for years. you can find most
any kind Of savage animal that you get
in America except alligators. Grizzlies.
black bears and mountain lions are COM
monty killed there" says Hugh Sniyerly of
Sheridan, Wyo. Some of the men that
come out there to hunt think that If they
stir one hundred yards away from camp
they must be armed to the teeth for fear
of being attacked by a bear or a painter
and killed. There's a heap more danger of
getting killed on account of leaving your
gun at nome when you go down Market
street Some one might shoot you on the
street In big city, but 1t Is dead sure that
bear or mountain lion will never attack
you unless you drive him to It,
I've hunted through the best districts
for big game IN this country, and I've seen
a good many grizzlies, but I've never seen
one OF them go after a man unless he was
cornered or wounded. If you run into a
grizzly bear In lonely place you'll hear a
grunt something like that Of a mammoth
hog, and then there will be mighty crash
Ing OF underbrush as he makes off In the
opposite direction as fast as he can go. All
you can generally see of a mountain lion
is tawny streak he makes off at in
credible speed. If he has any intention Of
going after you it must be his intention to
go around the world and catch you in the
him he is sure to go due west.
Mountain lions in the winter time will
follow sleighs at a distance, waiing as
they go, but there is nothing in that to in
spire terror, for l don't think they have
ever been known to close in on anybody
Their terror of human beings is the thing
which makes them hard to suit. In all the
time that l have been in the mountains l
have never heard of any one being attack
ed by a wild animal that had been left
strictly alone. But I've known men to be
killed even by deer when the brute was
driven to desperat ton.
Grizzlies are the best game In the world
When you once get their dander up they
are savage fighters, and the hunters life
Is In danger every minute unless he is a
good shot and has steady nerve. If you
ever get within range of the grizzly's paw
you are a dead one. These stories of men
killing them with knives in hand-to- hand
fights are about as reasonable as 1t would
be to talk of stopping a locomotive by get
ting in the way of the train. If the big fell
low gets the chance to deliver one blow II
Is all over. Thers was a grizzly UP our
way that the cowboys called Big Ben who
killed about one hundred and fifty steers
before he was finally shot. He would
break steers neck with one blow, and
then he would lift him up and carry him off
to secluded place. Grizzlies look awk-
ward, but they are mighty light on their
feet, and they can beat any man in a foot
race"

Where Insects Are Eaten.
From the New York World.

From the new 1ork WoriO.
According to M. q. Durand. a French
scientist, insects of almost every kind are
eaten in one part or another of the globe.
The natives of the West Indies eat the
larvae of the stag beetle, the Creoles OF
Bourbon broil and eat cockroaches, while
the Arabs still follow the example of John
the Baptist and feed on locusts. The grass
hopper is favorite article Of diet both In
Greece and in Mexico. The Chinese make
a tasty dish out Of the chrysalis of the
silkworm, and a white fat grub that bur-
rows In the palm trees is the greatest deli
cacy a Burman knows. Ants prepared in
various ways commend themselves to quite
a number of people. The African custom is
to cook them in butter. while in Brazil a
resinous sauce is the usual accompani-
ment. The Siamese prefer the eggs OF the
ant and in India the white ant is not only
eaten raw, but in some parts is roasted
like coffee and is then mixed with flour and
made into pastry.
