Lava Pla.t Cured courh,

Professor Riggs, see, advises peo-
pie b chew lava a. a panacea for all
nlG," remarked a Providence woman
who travels widely. 81 cannot vouch
for the theory that lava would be q
panacea for al Ills, but I can youch
that II possesses q plant or shrub
which grows very near or IN the lava
that has q curative property In 1t for
Q cough A few years since, while re-
turning from Vesuvfus to our hotel In
Naples, was annoyed and afflicted
with q constant cough which nothing
seemed to relieve. The coachman, O
native, In our employ, seeing the d.
lomma, stopped his carriage and, pick
ing q few stems from the shrub, gave II
% NE a. sure remedy for my cough.
Il certainly did prove q panacea and
worked like magic. Perhaps this same
plant grown by the lava, may possess
some Of the constituents that Pro-
fessor Riggs claims for the lava. The
hated lava may Jet become q friend
Of tie physician and q benefit TO the
human race."-ProVidenee Journal

FEAsTINe IN TIBET.
Deser1ptioa Of q Ban9set In the
Lamass Palace.

Dsseraptioa Of q Ban9uet In the
LAmaas Palace.
A correspondent Of the London Times
who accompanied the grand lama OF
Tibet On his recent return to that eoun-
ny after an absence Of some months
thus describes the feasting In the lama's
palace In honor Of the occasion:
sProceedings began with what had
an the appearance Of blessing, ex-
cept that each person brought q pres
ent which the lama touched and an at
tendant took possession Of. The pres
ents consisted OF silver shoes worth
about $50, vessels Of various precious
metals, rolls Of silk, cloth and similar
articles. When ali the gifts had been
handed over the inevitable tea was
brought IN. The lama had huge gold
en- pot, studded with turquoises, all to
himself. Attendants passed among the
seated Iamas and filed the wooden
cups which the latter produced from
the bosoms Of their capacious robes.
For Us four there were a special teapot
and Chinese bowls But as for drink
Ing, we knew better. We took blow
at the surface to slide the rancid but
ter on the top, made q sucking noise
with our mouths and then handed back
the cups, sufficiently nauseated, with
out drinking, by the smell Of the tea
alone. Next came the distribution Of
the fruit and sweetmeats, Of which we
received an ample share.
GUFB.or xha Hnnro ~ fho hall
were thrown open and there poured In
q horde Of struggling humanity that
rushed at great stacks Of Tibetan bread
"A crisp, brown substance, fried In
butter and very palatable In a cold
climate. The bread was on tables In
broad piles six feet high. With des-
psrate fury the poor OF the city fell on
this provision Of the gods and crammed
the brittle stacks into sacks and bos-
oms, punching their receptacles when
full to make room for more. They
fought like cannibals for the bread and
stole from each other when they could.
And all the while the Iictors Of the road
were among them, flashing with their
whips, prodding with the heavy butts
and striking with their fists. One man
had two sacks, and, though beaten un-
mEcifulIy, he continued until both
were full and then retired under q rain
Of blows.
Next came q religious controversy
between two monks. These hitched
up their clothes, slapped their hands
together, stamped their feet, looking
for q verbal opening just as a pugilist
looks for q chance to get In with his
left One represented Satan and the
other some sacred parsonage, the dis
cussion dealing with the birth Of Bud.

with red trousers, afteB which sally
hs went into loud roars Of laughter,
which drowned the indignant reply Of
his opponent. The saint then declared.
that Satan had a tail, whereat every
monk In the room laughed delIghtedIy.
And % the two kept at It for about
half an hour. When Satan looked a
winner all over the controversy was
declared closed and the saint the vic

not denied that when that sum was
subscribed that other subscriptions

WILL ASK
STATE RELIEF

The First Ward Park Association has
reached the place in its movement for
the planning of a playground in the
First Ward where it must appear be-
fore the legislature and secure an act
authorizing the Board of Park Com
missioners to purchase certain proper
ties in the First Ward Of Wilmington
The site now selected by the assoc
citation comprises properties on a high
point In the ward and would make an
ideal public park and playground. The
price asked for them, however, IS long
er than the Board Of Park Commits
sioners is able TO spend at this time,
and as the members Of the board be-
lieve the property selected Is one of
the finest sites for such a purpose in
the city. The site at Third and Tatnall
streets was abandoned because OF the
prohibtive rental asked and terms de-
manded and the First Ward Park AS
sociation after consulting with the
Board OF Park Commissioners decided
to take the other property and appeal
to the legislature for relief.
This will cause the abandonment OF
the project for this summer
