III Necessity of Making

extremely eous may prove blessing n disguise may to impress upon the minds of the people of the United States the absolute necessity making the farm attractive home center.

had several fights. The distance from the frontier to Lhasa is 320 miles, and Gyantse is just about half way The town is situated in a fiat, open valley, dotted all over with fiourishing ham, lets, and watered by numerous streams It was an agreeable change for us, especially as spring was com ing on, and the bitter cold had been left behind.
 On the fifth day of May our camp was awakened by wild shouts and firing, which were the prelude of an attack in force by the Tibetan troops For fully two months we were be- sieged; then re-enforcements arrived, and we were enabled to proceed. On July IA we set out for Lhasa in the midst of rainstorm. Frequent rains thereafter went far to destroy the delusion that Tibet is a rainless coun- try.
 Lhasa, the Forbidden City.
 As we passed over range after range of hills we looked eagerly for the mysterious city It was on the second day of August that we beheld at last the golden roofs of the Potala -the huge group of buildings on the hilltop composing the official quar- ters of the grand lama-glittering in the distance; and on the following day we pitched our camp beneath the walls of Lhasa, the forbidden capital, which no living European had ever seen before.
 The first fact of importance that we ascertained was that the grand lama had fled. He had sought refuge in Chinese territory.
 We found much to interest us mean while in the monasteries, which might be described as ecclesiastical settle ments, surrounded by high walls and gathered about one or more temples. The temples always have red walls, and in many instances the roofs are covered with plates of pure gold. ID
The Pulaskian., 1915-02-05

each temple is usually long altar, be- hind which stand huge images of the gods. Inside they are very dirty and grimy with highly decorated im- aginative pictures of demons and drag ons. Before the images of the gods burn many bowls of butter night and day, just as candles are burned in Roman Catholic churches before the figures of saints.
 People Were Hospitable.
 When once we had entered Lhasa we found the people hospitable as well as friendly. They even gave us free access to the monasteries and temples. They are very fond of theat- rical performances, which are con ducted Tn the open air. On one occa- sion I was routed out of bed at seven o'clock in the morning to attend such a performance, which lasted until seven in the evening. It was got up expressly for my entertainment, and consisted mainly of pantomime, ac- companied by dancing and music, the latter being chiefly drumming. They wanted to go on with it for three days more, but one day was enough for me.
 We saw a good deal of the women of Tibet. They are not yelled or se- cluded in any way, as in other orlen- tai countries. Many of them came to our camp, between fights, bringing eggs, poultry, mutton, butter, wheat barley, and other produce for sale.
 Polyandry is practically restricte@ to the agricultural laboring class. It is an expedient of economy, the ar rangement usually being one under which a woman is the wife of several brothers. She does not choose her husbands from different families.
