New London County crested Second.

The Stamford Advocate has a corre- spondent who asks why the counties of the state are always officially listed: Hartford, New Haven, New London, Fairfield. Windham, Litchfield, Mid dlesex, Holland. He says they should be put alphabetically The expfana- tion is a simple one (with None excep- tion). It is based on history. The counties of Hartford, New London, New Haven and Fairfield were created in that order by vote of the general assembly in 1866. It was sixty years later before another county was ereat- ed. In 1726 Windham was marked off; in 1751 Litchfield. in 1785 Middle sex. and in 17S6 Holland. It will be noticed that this is the order of off, cial listing save that New Haven comes in ahead of New London.-Ha Hartford Courant

A CURIOUS TIeETAN RACE.

Commandant Ollone has returned
to France after two years in Tibet,
in the northwestern part of which
he discovered strange race, the
Hsifani He say of them:
Though nomfnally under the suzer-
ainty of the Chinese emperor, they
have never been subjugated. In
contrast with the rest of Tibet the
land is generally fertile. Grass
grows almost everywhere and even
among the highest mountains lsome
10000 feet) the slopes are so gen.
few places where a man may not
ride on horseback. 1t is for this
reason that the Chinese have never
been able to subdue the Hsifani.
Having a social organization like the
clans of Scotland and being well
mounted on horses which are a
cross between the shaggy Mongol
and the finer Syrian stock, which
they ride with skill, they fight each
expedition which the empire sends
against them as the Beers fought
the British troops in the Transvaal
Their stock-raising-sh sheep, horses
goats and yaks-and their trade
| in skins give them all they want to
live upon They are very sober in
habit and practically live upon tea
which they drink with melted but
ter and barley meal. They win
their arms by their forays and will
ride several days and as far as
600 miles to surprise caravan. Be
sides the long lance, each man car
ries a gun of some kind or other
and Russian guns are becoming
common. The Hsifani fit their guns
with forked stand, such as was
fitted to the eighteenth century mar
| ket, and so are able to take good
aim They live in tents and veal
no other clothing than sheep skins
in the rough sewn together. The
Chinese have been able to subdue
| them only in the lower valleys
where some of the tribes have built
villages.
"As for their religions and Gus
toms they are peculiar to the race
They have made salad of sew
eral theologies They practice sim
ultaneously Buddhism, Brahmanisu
and a primitive religion not unlike
that of the ancient Greeks and early
Scandinavians. worshiping the spir
it's of the four points of the com
pass or of the mountains which lie
in such directions. Their chief deity
is the Anie-Matche, spirit of the
highest mountain of their country
and they pray to him, curiously
enough, both for good and for evil
| actions. For them he represents
strength; virtue is represented by
| Buddha"
