MARRIAGE IN TIBET.
Counting end Wedding Etiquette In IN,
Forbidden Lard.

Counting end Wedding Etiquette In IN,
Forbidden Lard.
"a A. HcuTy Savage Ianaor's ac-
>ount OF The Forbidden Land" wa
read that among the Shokas. when
young couple consider utarriasc adyis-
able. the young man. dressed IN his
best clothes. proceeds Co the house OF
his Intended father-in-law. carrying
wine. grilled grain. dried fruit. sugar
candy and other sweetmcats.
III the bridegroom Is thought suit
,ble match. the parents or the Girl re-
seive the young man with due consid-
Grafton and partake heartily of the
food and drink profrered by him.
The marriage is there and then ar
ranged. the bridegroom further dis
bursting TO the father a sum OF not less
than > rupees and rot more than 100.
lhis Is supposed TO be the money
equivalent to the sum spent 10y the
relatives OF the girl in bringing her up.
The marriage ceremony then fol-
lows. and this l. simplicity itself. A
cake called "delang" Is baked. OF
which the friends OF the two families
partake. If either the bridegroom or
the bride refuses 10 eat a share OF the
cake. the marriage Is broken or II
they both eat some of the cake and
later any discussion arises betveen
them. all those who assisted at the
function are called rs witnesses that
the marriage took place.
Often even this primitive ceremony
or eating cake IS dispensed with. aud
Shoka marriage begin and continue
as happy and faithful unions without
any special form OF service or rite To
solemnize the tie
a breach OF the seventh command
ment IS severely visited not only on
the guilty man. who is well beaten. but
on his parents. The ShoSa men pro-
coed en- masse TO Tie parental dwell

disc.
They conhccatc the sheep. goats. yak
and all their valuable saddles and
loads ana present the whole proceeds
TO the person who has been wronged
by the gully pair as some sort of rec
ompense.
Frequently the unfortunate aud In
nocent relatives OF the evildoer are
bound and even beaten To death 10y the
villagers.
These severe measures are resorted
to 10 maintain n high standard Of mo-
ralfty and honor. and there is little
doubt that. primitive as these methods
may seem. the good results obtained
more than Justify them.
An institution which the author
speaks of as surprising In n primitive
people. but nevertheless. TO his way OF
thinking. cminenuy sensible and adj
vantageous. is called the Rnmbang. n
place or club where girls and young
men meet at night for the sake OF bet
ter acquaintance prior TO entering into
matrimony. Each village possesses one
or more institutions OF this kind. and
they are patronized by well to do peo-
pie. who recognize the institution as q
sound basis on which marriage can he
arranged
Rambang houses are either In the
village itself or halfway between one
village and the next, the young women
OF one village thus entering into am
icable relations with the young men OF
the other. and vice versa

MAN IS AS OLD
 AS HIS STOMACH
This Persian Epigram Is the Real
 Gauge of a Mans Life.
EETE

The Persians were very sagacious people, noted among other things, for their deep thinking on life and the things which make up life.
 The above epigram shows the wis dom of their thought.
 When a mans stomach is able to furnish new material to the system as fast or faster than the natural decay of man requires, then such a man lives his fullest and his best.
 When through wrong living or dis ease a mans stomach begins to tax the other organs and takes from the blood strength which it cannot give back in nourishment taken from food, then begins the death of man and he decays fast. The stomach is strong, splendidly strong, and can stand an untold amount of abuse and neglect, but when it dies, man dies.
 The. stomach gives tons upon tons of good rich blood every year to the system and draws only 6S0 lbs. of nourishment for its own use. If, how ever, the food which it receives can not be turned into blood which is capable of use by the body, then the stomach receives no help from the other organs.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the most perfect digestive qualities known to science and at the same time the most powerful. They will mix with the poisonous juices of a sick stomach and digest food in spite of this handicap.
 They will stop gas making and bad breath. They tone up the nerves of the whole digestive canal, incluing those of the stomach
 A single ingredient contains strength enough to digest 5000 times its weight in mixed food
 They have stood the test of time and today are more sought after than all their imitators combined.
 They are used and endorsed by 40.- 900 physicians. Every druggist sells them, price soc. It costs nothing to demonstrate their value. Send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package by mail free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 15O Stuart Bldg. Marshall, Mich.

Hunting Mountain Lions


 We worked our way noiselessly along the rimwall curve for several hundred yards and came to a halt again, this time with a splendid command of the situation. The trail ended abruptly at the dark cave, so menacingly staring at us, and the corner of the cliff had curled back upon itself. It was a box trap with a drop at the end, too great for any beast a narrow slide of wealth cred stone running down, and the rim wall trail. old Tom would plainly be compelled to choose one of these di rections if he left his cave.
 I felt a strange sensation around my heart and a strange tightening of the skin upon my facei Then, because of the pride of a man, or perhaps inherit ed instincts cropping out at this peril ous moment, looked up and answered quietly:
 "Yes, I will kill him."
 "Old Tom is cornered, and he'll come out He can run only two ways: along this trail or down that slide. I'll take my stand by the scrub pinon there so can get hitch if I rope him. Frank when I give the word, let the dogs go. Grey, you block the slide. If he makes at us, even if I do not get my rope on him, kill him. Most likely he'll jump down hill, and then you'll have to kill him. Be quick. Now loose the hounds. Hii Hi Hii Hilp
 I jumped into the narrow slide of Weathered stone and looked up. Jones stentorian yell rose high above the clamor of the hounds. He whirled his lasso.
 A huge yellow form shot over the l trail and hit the top of the. slide with a crash. The lasso streaked out with arrowy switfness, circled, and snapped vieiously close to old Toms head. Kill him, Kill him,'' roared Jones. Then the lion leaped. seemingly into the air above me. Instinctively l rais- ed my little automatic rifle. I seemed to hear a million believing reports. The tawny body, with it's grim, snarl- ing face, blurred in my sight. I heard roar of sliding stones at my feet. felt a rush of wind. I caught con fused glimpse of awhirling- wheel of fur, rolling down the slide. Then Jones and Frank were pound ing me. and yelling I know not what From far above came floating down long "Wha-lOo!" I saw Wallace sil- hOuetted against the blue sky. felt the hot barrel of my rifle, and shud- derd at the bloody stones below me then. and then only, did I realize, with weakining legs. that Old Tom had jumped to His death.-From The Last of the Plainsmen.' by Zane Grey The Outing Publishing company:

HONEST REVISION.

Speaker Cannon made a sensible remark the other day which will no doubt receive elaboration when the business of revising tariff. gets in full swing. The speaker notwith- standing his record as a standpatter, said that the people had voted for a revision of the tariff. They would get what they voted for and as for himself he was in favor of an honest revision of the tariff The speaker said, though, that there was always danger in a nasty interpretation or misinterpretation of public sentiment.
 By honest revision" of the tariff there is of course meant legislation that will be of the greatest good to the greatest number. That kind of legislation cannot be thought out in a day The ways and means com mittee of the house are now engaged in the preliminary work of thinking it out There are, however, two classes of citizens and only two, who know now precisely how the tariff should be revised. One is composed of citizens whose business would be immensely benefited by a certain ad- justment of the rates. The other is composed of corner grocery loafers who have for years had nothing to do but devise solutions for the tariff and all other questions which are still perplexing to mere statesmen and publicists.
 The investigation of the ways and means committee so far as it has gone has found certain industries which would be benefited by a raise of duties. In most instances, indus tries will not be affected by either raising or lowering the duties, but so far the committee has failed to dis cover any class which would be bene- fited by lowering the tariff
 There is another school of tariff re- formers whose ideas will hardly come under the head of honest revision as understood by MT. Cannon or any body else. They are clamoring for the reduction or the removal of cer- tain duties, not for any benefit that kind of revision will be to the pub lie but because they believe it will be a blow at certain trusts. That is not tariff revision at all, but trust regulation, a perfectly proper pro- ceeding in certain circumstances.
 Tariff reform is administered as a poison to wrongful trusts as strych- nine is administered to pestilent wild
