Among the Tibetans.

The western theosophist's' cherished ideal of this life, pure spirit and lofty contemplation, is hardly borne out by the description of the Buddhist lamas, as seen in every day life, by the Shell tons. To begin with, like all Tibet ans, they are inordinately dirty. The native of Tibet never bathes, nor Is the lama an exception to this rule. They are covered with dirt and grease and -exude an odor of rancid butter from the fumes of the butter lamps that fill the temples. They are also infested with vermin, which they may not even destroy, because to kill-even the humblest of animals is Contrary to the teachings of the Buddhist re- ligion. The wonderful learning of the Buddhist lama is also said to be large ly a product of western imagination. The worship consists largely in noisy incantations, in the process of which guns are sometimes fired, bells ring and horns give forth deafening blasts
 Huge bonfires are an accepted means of warding off the devils of famine, pesilence and war iThe religion of the Tibetan Is largely system of devil worship, to propitiate and ward off wicked spirits. Prayer wheels and heaps of mani" stones, surmounted by little prayer flags, are in evidence in the widest and most remote regions of the country At one of the stages of his journey, Dr. Shelton photograph ed huge mound of mani stones over mile long, Each stone had been de- posited at some, time by passing pil- grim.
 The Tibetan woman may not be without beauty. It is impossible to tell, since she does fnot wash. Her clothing is also disgustingfy dirty and greasy. Often 1t is of skins, which are worn years, lifetime If they last. Men and women dress much alike, In gowns of originally bright-colored cloth, fastened about the waist by green and red sashes. The bloused
 waist portion ih always used as the receptacle for the tea basin, where it Is handily drawn forth at the con- stantly recurring hospitality of tea-
 drinking.

By dredging in the west branch of the Yantic river, alongside Central wharf, the firm of J. A. Morgan & Son is about to recover from 50 to 7b tons of coal that slipped. into the river at the time of the recent Ire.

 Much of the coal that will be re- covered this way will be good, but some of it shows the effects of fire.

FARMERS UNITE
EMPLOY AGENTS
GETHEL PRAIRIE LAND OWNERS
GET TOGETHER-TO SAVE IN
PURCHASES

Valley City, N. D., Feb. 14.-The
Getchell Agricultural society, a farm
ers' organization at Getchell Prairie
near this city, is proving that the COM
munity of interest idea can be made
ITO pay if handled properly.
Last fall many farmers of this W.
cinity met to hold social evening at
a neighbours home, and took up the
discussion of farm topics. Before
closing they decided to appoint pur-
chasing agent, to learn where they
might buy better seed and better ma.
chinery at the lowest cost. The agent
reported in two weeks, and so salts
factory was his statement that his ap.
pointment was made continuous. To-
give him assistance, selling agent
was appointed to find the best prices
for farm products. These two have
been working in harmony. and have
disposed of the surplus fran produce
and also of machinery, in order that
nothing may be lost.
To Buy the Best Seed.
The question Of better seed was
made paramount, and drafts in the
sum of $1,000 were sent out to buy
the best that could be obtained in the
seed line. This amount is expected to
be doubled before actual worl. in the
fields is begun.
The organization is peculiar, in that
there is no board of directors, no of
flcers, no constitution and no bylaws
Each man does his business through
the two agents, who are subject to the
recall at any time majority 50 desjg-
mates. Also each mans word is tax.
en- for everything he advocates. or
wishes to buy or sell.
Saves Tenth In Purchases.
The plan was the idea of J. H.
Getehell, former Iowa farmer, who
staed yesterday that ne had found
the plan had saved him at least 10 per
cert in his purchases sin"o the agents
had been put to work. "Thesa agents.
Mr. Getchell said. "are abele to do
much better for us than we could do
individually, for they buy for fifty of
us. where we had been working alone
before. Also the same thing applies
in selling our goods. One man having
so much more to deal with can force
better prices than each of us can do
by ourselves. In the shipment of grain
this is especially true, for freight
rates are better, in that the cost of a
car is certain sum, and it is as ex-
pensive to ship if half full as it would
be to have it we'll loaded. We find a
great many ways in which we can
meet farm problems better by pool
ing our interests"
At the meetings of the farmers they
have formal discussions upon import
ant topics, among them being such
subjects as barn ventilation, alfalfa,
soil culture, consolidated schools, con-
crete construction and labor-saving
devices for the farm and home.
