TAKE PLEASURE IN HAGGLlNG
Tibetans Viii Not Be Denied the Joys
That Accrue From the Sense
Of Bargaining.

"Mornin' time, bargain time!" calls
out one of the peddlers by the way
side IN Tibet cheerfully as he sees
you returning from a glimpse OF the
SHOWS at sunrise. You bid him come
to yod, and from one OF the innumer-
able pockets concealed in his volu-
minous robe he will produce a perfect
little Jade cup. or Tibetan coffee
pot, or gold copper and precious
stones, or perhaps a huge lump Of
rough turquoise hewn to look like a
couch with tiny gold Buddha reclin-
ing on 1t.
Then comes the bargaining. In which
he and all his friends take part against
your single self.
It can all be done by signs and
smiles and patience and in the long
run you will get some things well
Worth having at a very reasonable
price.
But you must have no false pride
about bargaining. 1t Is an elementary
part of these peoples nature. and the
Joy OF selling will leave them forever
when the day of haggling Is done.

HOME TREATMENT OF WOUNDS
Before All Things 1t Is Necessary
That the Dirt Should Be Kept
Out Of Them.

The only proper way of curing an
infiamed wound Is to keep the dirt
out of 1t. It makes little difference
where this dirt comes from. 1t is
pretty sure to contain germs of some
sort. And while, fortunately, most Of
these are not actually poisonous, they
are none of them of any assistance in
the process of healing, and it Is al
ways best to be on the safe side and
keep them out. This can be done, in
eight slight wounds out of ten, by
thorough washing with boiled water
and then bandaging with dressing
containing a layer of absorbent cot
ton, which is impervious to germs. If
made by knife which has been used
for cutting meat, cheese, fish, etc., or
by dirty nail or tool, some non
poisonous antiseptic, like formalin,
may be added to the water, a tea
spoonful to a pint, or one Of the nu-
merous peroxides or dioxides Of n.y.
drogen applied full strength.-Civiliza-

SACRED TREASURE OF TREVEs
grensh Cathedral cIty claims POSSES.
r!on OF eeat Worn by sssler at
Hs crueiflxIon.

The ancient archepiscopal city or
Treves, on the Moselle, is remarkable
for possessing among its cathedral
treasures the coat reputed to be that
worn by the Savior at his crucinxlon'
for which the Roman soldiers cast
lots. This coat was the gift of the
EMPRESS Helena, the mother of Con-
stantine the Great the discoverer OF
many memorials of the founders OF
Christianity.
In the time of Helena, Trevas was
the capital of Belgic Gaul, and the
home Of the later Roman emperors.
It is recorded that she converted her
palace into the cathedral and en-
lowed it with this treasure-the seam
less coat of the Savior.
The coat is a loose garment with
wide sleeves, simple in form, OF
coarse material, dark brown in color,
probably the result of age, and en-
tirely without seam or decoration. The
coat is said to measure from the ex-
tremity of each sleeve five feet five
inches, the length Of the collar to the
lower edge five feet two inches.
In part the holy coat Of Treves IS
tender or threadbare. There are some
stains on it. These are reputed TO
be those of the blood Of the Savior.
1t is reputed to have caused many
miracles in the cures of bodily all
ments. It's efficiency has never been
doubted in Treves.
