CAN you imagine anything inoro

than UiIb dress of brown broadcloth
and sand-colored crepo do chine, for
a young girl? If you can, hasten to

thing for which womankind Is alwayB
In waiting. This Is ono of several new

The waist of crepo Is long-sleeved
and high-necked, and could hardly bo

wnlst seems to bespeak a lack of self
consciousness in the wearer; It Is so
devoid of fussincsB.
Tho akirt is modoratoly full, smartly
short and slightly flaring. The skele
ton bodlco is plain, with bound edges,
and tho belt is made of tho same fab

Thousands Lose Their Sight in
European Conflict.
Many Cases Are Reported Among
Hungarian Soldiers Back From the

Budapest. A few dayB ago tho
nowspapers reported that Mlehaol
Chomsa, a Hungarian soldier patient
at tho Budapest hospital, had lost his
eyesight, and they started a collec
tion for him, tho Pester Lloyd alono
raislnq 1-1,000 kronen ($5,G0O) within
two days. Michael Chomsa's mlsfor
tuno was looked upon as exceptional,
and It wns considered a public duty to
provide for his future.
But tho publicity given to this sol
dier's blindness brought out the fact
thnt thero were many other similar
caseB. In tho opinion of physicians
thoro will bo In Hungary alono several
thousand such' victims of tho war if
tho fighting is to continue much
longer.
It Is a disheartening spectacle to
look upon these blind soldiers at tho
hospital. Ono sees many wounded,
disfigured, ulcorating eyes. Some of
theso eyes have sunk far Into their
sockets, Others show the upper, trans
parent part of tho eyeball sprinkled
with white, gloaming grains of sand,
whirled thero by a bursting shrapnel

Another soldier has his oyolids seem

Appalled by "tho great number of
blinded soldiers, tho Hungarian spe

havo started a subscription for tho
erection of a special Institution des
tined to assure a livelihood for these
unfortunate victims of the war. There
they would be taught occupations
suitable to their infirmity.
On the other hand Professor Blcsal
ski of Berlin and Professor Lorenz of
Vienna are concerned not only in car
ing for tho wounded soldiers, but In
preparing tho numberless war cripples
for their futuro tasks of gaining a live
lihood. Every timo Professor Blesal
ski visits his patients he endeavors to
bring it homo to their minds that they
will have to follow their former occu
pations. A teacher who had lost his
right arm has learned to write with
his left hand and each day he becomes
more nnd more convinced that ho will
again be able to exercise his profes
sion. A gardener who lost his lower
limbs was convinced by Professor
Blesalski that he will be able to re
sume gardening; a farmer that ho will
be able to mow and to rake. A mason
was mado to 'understand that aeupito

QUAIL THRESH WHEAT CROP
Pennsylvania Farmer Tells How the
Birds Get Enough to
Eat.
Ebensburg, Pa. John Newton, a
farmer living at Munday's, near Eb
ensburg, tells a remarkable story of
tho sngaclty of a flock of quail.
Following tho Instructions of Doc
tor Kalbfus, Newton has been placing
grain in his barnyard for the benefit
of tho birds. Apparently tho amount
was not sufficient to satisfy tho needs
of a flock of quail, which fed at the
farm dally. InBlde the barn was a
quantity of unthrcshed wheat, the
heads of which aro closed tightly.
Other birds pecked at these heads
unsuccessfully, but tho quail solved
tho difficulty.
According to Newton, a wise old
quail flew out of tho barn on Sunday
with a stalk of wheat In Its beak. Lead
ing Into the barn is a wooden bridge.
Tho quail stuck the lower part of the
stalk through a crack In tho bridge.
Threo quail seized it on tho other
side and tugged away lustily. Tho
Btalk was stripped clean. Newton
says tho quail took turns carrying
out wheat and threshing It until all
wero satisfied; and that slnco thoy
have repeated the performance dally.

Tho bear bad somo difficulty Btaylng

Washington. It begins to look as
though tho travel days of tho original
"See America FlrBt" tourist tho
tramp arc now numbered. Chiefs of
police, sheriffs, constables, town mar
shals, chief special agenttf of railways
and other peace officers of tho coun
try, quick in recognizing the effective
ness of the proposed federal trespass
law as a crime diminishes aro bend
ing their efforts to got congress to
pass the mensuro at the present ses
sion. At last, these men declare,
thero haB been discovered the real so
lution of the hobo problem. The tres
pass act is a federal measure, carry
l":; a penalty that Is calculated to
keep tramps and all other undesir
ables off the rights of way of rail
ways throughout tho United States.
With such a "block Lystem," It la
said there can bo only ono result
tho passing of tho nation's greatest
nuisance. Police officials say that
with the sidedoor Pullman means of
transportation cut off from- Weary
Wraggles, but ono thing will remain
for him go to work. Officers of. mu
nicipalities announco that with their
means of travel taken from them, tho
rounding up of the country's undesir
ables will bo an easy task. They will
not be able to get from place to place.
No community will tolerate thorn as
vagrants; consequently they will havo
to go to work.
The agitation of tho federal tres
pass law is the outcome of tho recent
conference of the United States gov
ernment's industrial commission held
In Kansas City. Among the men in
vited to appear before this commis
sion and give views calculated to bet
ter the conditions of Industrial life In
the country was Al G. Uay, chief spe
cial agent of tho Great Northern rail
way, St. Paul. Ray outlined to tho
commission tho federal trespass law
as tho only real simon-pure remedy for
the tramp evil. He announced that
he advocated this measure after 22
years of police work. He said he had
studied similar systems In countries
of the old world and thoy worked ef
fectively. In those countries, he sald
especially England and Germany, tho
traveler never sees a tramp on the
right of way of a railway.
Ray told the commission that he Is
certain, from tho study of statistics
gathered on tho transcontinental line

TIBET is no longer a closed
kingdom; we havo opened it
up, says Col. Sir Frank Young
husband, tho famous English
explorer, in a published Inter
view. As tho most important result
of the expedition which 1 led to
Lhasa, ho continues, a formal treaty
WUB signed by which tho country wus
practically thrown open to foreign
ers. Trading posts have been estab
lished, and tho natives aro anxious
to cultivate friendly relations with
tho outsldo world.
The city of Lhasa is situated In a
lovely vulloy, well Irrigated, richly
cultivated, and watered by a river
broad as tho Thames at Westminster.
It is exceedingly picturesque, the town
being huddled about the base of a
lofty hill, on which stands the huge
palace of tho grand lama an impos
ing structure of masonry, very solidly
built.
Many of tho houses aro of stoifb and
substantially constructed, and not u
few of them are surrounded by shade
trees. Tho picture presented to the
eye by the rock-perched palace, with
tho stray city at Its base the whole

Steadily ascending, Ave finally
emerged upon tho high Tibetan ta

of a magnificent panorama of 1C0 milc3
of the tallest peaks of the Himalayas,
with Everest, tho loftiest mountain
In tho world, as the culminating ob

lay tho Bacred city of which so lit

Not Opposed at First.
At a place called Yatung a trading
post had been established under an
old treaty. But a wall had been erect
ed to shut out all Intruders, and be
yond It our traders had never been
allowed to pass. Tho wall was built
directly across the road and high up
tho mountain side on either hand. Wc
thought wo might havo to fight our
way through, but tho great door in
tho tower which guarded tho road was
standing open, and Uiub wo passed
peaceably through tho gate of Tibet,
and descended into tho Chumbl val

side were comfortable villages and cul
tivated fields. The peoplo seemed well-to-do,
and wero decidedly well dls-
AVERAGE OF HONESTY HIGH
Post Office Department Has a Right to
Be Proud of Its Thousands '
of Employees.
Ab tho world goes, virtue must be
exceptional to attract recognition, but
somo everyday, routine, faithful per
formance deserves attentljit, even if It
could not qualify under tho Carnegie
Hero rule3 beo'UBo It Is only In lino

Tho record of tho post office depart
ment for the past year shows that
thero wore 108,000,000 money orders
handlod last year In 55,000 ofllces,
Involving a total sum of $750,000,000.
Tho toal losses duo to erroneous pay
ments, forgories, or errors of any sort
wero $253. In addition to this, 50,000,
Q0O pieces of rogistored mail were
handled with only an immaterial
chargo of loss, duo to carolessness or
other Individual fuult.
That's all in tho day's work, but tho
record Is tho Joint proporty of thou
sands of railway mall clorks, office
clork? ruul letter carriers, and Is a con-
posed toward us. They soon showed
themselves keen traders, and must
havo mado n small fortune out of their
dealings with tho expedition.
On the fifth day of May our camp
was awakened by wild shouts and
firing, which wero tho prelude of nu
nttack In forco by tho Tibetan troops.
For fully two months wo were be
sieged; then re-enforcemonts arrived,
aud we were enabled to proceed. On
July 11 we set out for Lhasa In the
midst of a rainstorm. Frequent rains
thereafter went far to destroy tho
delusion that Tibet is a rainless coun
try. Lhasa, the Forbidden City.
As wo 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 tho golden roofs of the Potala
the hugo group of buildings on tho
hilltop composing tho ofilclal quar
ters of tho grand lama glittering in
the distance; and on tho following
day we pitched our camp beneath tho
walls of Lhasai tho forbidden capital,
which no living European had ever
seen before.
Tho first fact of importance that
we ascertained was that the grand
lama had fled. He had sought refuge
in Chinese territory.
Wo found much to interest ua mean
while in the monasteries, which might
be described as ecclesiastical settle
ments, surrounded by high walls and
' v f "..' .. r- "
gathered about ono or more temples.
Tho temples always have red 'walls,
and in many instances the roofs are
covered with plates of pure gold. In
each temple is usually a 1 mg altar, be
hind which stand hugo images of
the gods. Inside they are very dirty
and grimy, with highly decornted Im
aginative pictures of demons and drag
ons. Bofore tho images of tho gods
burn many bowls of butter night and
day, just as candles are burned In
Roman Catholic churches bofore tho
figures of saints. ,
People Were Hospitable.
When once we had entered Lhasa
wo found tho people hospitable as
well as friendly. They oven gave us
free access to tho monasteries and
temples. They are very fond of theat
rical performances, which are .con
ducted in tho open air. On ono occa
sion 1 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 Tor me.
Wo saw a good deal of tho women
of Tibet. They are not veiled or so
cluded In any wny, as In othor orien
tal countries.
