Just ten years ago woman clothed in rags

deaths door with Acknowledgment to the court
yard of the China Inland Mission house at Ia
chienlu, writes Ruth Nicely in the Living Church.
When strength enough for speech returned she
told her story. 1t was DR.. Susie Carsons Rim
hart, the first woman missionary who ever pene-
trated the wilds of Tibet and returned to tell the
story
All the world knows the wonderful history of
the womans homeward journey of 1000 miles,
unprotected and alone, from the interior, near
the outskirts of Lhasa, where she buried her
baby beneath a stone the mountain side and
where her husband was later captured by hostile
natives and murdered.
Since that time only group of foreigners
has penetrated interior Tibet This the
band of Englishmen who reached and invaded
the sacred city under the command of Colonel
Younghusband Since the unsuccessful ending
of that expedition Lhasa and interior Tibet have
again been closed to the outside world, Won

During their confab the duchess told her royal
listener that trying to shoulder other peoples
troubles had enabled her to Danish her own from
her mind. Queen Amelia was rather struck with
this idea and not long in putting it into prac-
tice Apparently the duchess scheme has made
good. At any rate the queen has given it good
trial. for hardly week has passed that she has
not visited hospital, opened bazaar or some
thing of the sort. Quite recently she went to the
Crystal Palace and, on behalf of the R. S. P. c. A.,
presented the prizes by children for essays

visitor at the Richmond hospital and the Roman
Catholic hospital of Saint Elizabeth and Saint

visits she taken to see the baby Of the hos

pet with everybody. The queen kissed the child,
and after talking to her for littia while dis
covered that something worrying her. So
she asked the reason and found that bunch of
lilies that had been ordered from the florist for
the baby to present to her had not arrived
Poor little mite said the queen, that's too

Women and men wear heavy top boots They
may be distinguished by the head dress. Both
sexes braid the hair into innumerable plaits,
sometimes over 100. In some sections the plalts
are fastened together with bright colored cloth
or with a heavy felt band covered with silver
ornaments shells and beads turban with a
white fur brim and a red tassel hanging from
the pointed crown is often worn.
Women in the district of Lhasa wear for hair

she shakes the curtain of buttered locks over
her face, forming screen, through which she
peers with artful artlessness. In some regions
near remote lamaseries the women are said to
daub their faces with a greasy black cosmetic
lest the lamas might be tempted by their beauty,
a precaution which can hardly fail to impress the
traveller as rather unnecessary.
Except the great caravan route, which is SO
thickly beset with spies that to travel it without
meeting a military company sent out to turn
the travellers back is impossible, the roads to
Lhasa narrow mountain passes in some
places only to be traversed by climbing single
file mounted on surefooted yaks. 1t is through
such narrow, precipitous passes that DIR. Shelton,
his wife and little ones have far made their
way. If as they near Lhasa they should take tho
path travelled by DR.. Rijnhart and her husband
and child they will pass big boulder beneath
which lie the remains of year-old baby, the
first white child ever in Tibet.
Doris and Dorothy Shelton, who have SO far

Purifying the Vital

That rheumatism is disease Of tho

hereditary in certain families, and that
there is marked thinning of the blood

In the following brief statement arc

will recognize and the means by which
q cure was effected in this case is des-
cribed with equal fidelity.
If you are suffering from any form OF

mother were sufferers from the same
disease. My right side was afflicted and

cords of the limbseemed to be drawn up.
Often the pains would shift from one
part of the body to another and, while
they were worse in my right limb, they
were very severe through the small OF my
back. There was a sensation as though

and feet were swollen so that [ could

the attacks were severe I was confined
to bed for weeks. My stomach was in

Rijnhart returned to her chosen field, northwest
ern China, she took with her two missionaries
of the Foreign Missionary society, Dr. and Mrs
A. L. Shelton. With them she established an
other mission in Tachenlu, of which DR.. Shelton
and his wife took charge the death of the
famous woman missionary year ago.
Later it was given over to other hands, for
DR.. Shelton and his wife resolved to emulate the
example of the Rijnharts, and 1t 1t be IN human
power they intend to penetrate interior Tibet and
to establish Christian mission in Lhasa the
very shrine of Buddha, where no foreigner mas
ever been permitted peacefully to enter and
where none has ever dWelt.
With their baby girls, Doris, three years CID,
and Dorothy seven, the two missionaries set out
from Tachienlu last fall their arducus and
dangerous journey. They have now arrived at
Batang about months journey from Lhasa,
whence they have sent to this country the most
remarkable collection of Tibetan photographs
ever secured. The mission station is near the
lamasary at Batang, which houses 5000 la1nas or
Buddhist priests, and is one OF the tive great
monasteries of Tibet.
The western theosophists cherished ideal OF
this life, pure spirit and lofty contemplation is
hardly borne out by the description OF the Bud
dhist lamas as seen in everyday life, by the
Sheltons To begin with, like all Tibetans, they
are inordinately dirty. The native OF Tibet never
