so much good and
thought I would trive
it a trial. I have been very glad that I
did, for now I feel much stronger and do
all of my work. I tell my friends when
they ask mo what helped me. and they
think it must be a grand medicine. And
it is. You can uso this letter for a tes

Wilson, R. P. D. 6, Clearfield, Pa.
The experience nnd testimony of such
women as Mrs. Wilson prove beyond a

as backaches, bearing-down pains, dis-

Street Scene In
(Prepared by the National Oeographlo So
ciety, Washington, D. C.)
Nepal, In which Is sltuuted much of
Mt. Everest, the world's highest pin
nacle, which Is now t being attacked
ty an elaborately equipped British
clenttflc expedition, Is the true "her
mit kingdom" of toduy. The govern
ment purposely keeps the roads which
leud from ndlu to Napul In bud con
dition, and travelers are admitted to
but one Binull valley, und then only
for special reasons upon a difficulty
obtained permit.
This kingdom which holds itself so
aloof from the world Is u narrow strip
of country about 100 miles wide and
500 miles long, extending lor nearly
a third of the distance between Indlu
and Tibet along the sky-plerclng
Ulmalayas. On the south It Includes
a very narrow strip of plains country,
but oredomlnantly It is a mountain
ous region. In fact, its possession of
Mt. Everest und some of the other
of the highest mountains In the world

ht the most mountainous or countries
The Nepalese are a lighting people,
have an excellent urmy and organize
tlou, und ure fond of show, both in
military display and In their religious
festivals. The latter are very numer
ous, and in fact seem to be lntennln
able. The women tuke u prominent

Some of the seml-mllltnry pugeants

buffaloes. In one such ceremony,
known as the blessing of the colors,
the commander In chief dips his hands
In a bowl of blood und clasps each
banner In turn, thus Imprinting on
nni, tim murk of bloody hands. The
scene Is somewhat revolting, but prob
ably bus Us use In keeping up n mur-
tlul spirit in the urmy.
Voluminous Dresses of Women
The Nepuleso women wear yards
unou yards sometimes as muny as a
of flno muslin plaited to
form a huge fan-shnped bunch in front,
tho back being quite tight, wnen
hwiv of runk drives lu her barouche
she completely fills the carriage with
hoi- voluminous skirt of urllllunt hue
Above the skirt a vivid little tight-fitting
Jacket, usually of velvet, Is worn;
the hulr Is dressed in u pecullur knot
lu front, above the forehead, und fas- 8)eci consideration. It was the Nc
tened to one side by an enormous gold Wlirs W),0 brought art to Its highest
pluque with a Jeweled center. a
heavy gold neckluce nnd gold bungles
complete her jewelry. Every lmug
Inuble shade Is used purph Pde
blue, green, carmine, orange, white,
yellow, turquoise, und deep red and
the effect Is wonderful.
At the time of state ceremonies the
streets uro filled with processions of
elephunts In gorgeous trappings,
horses and ponies, brilliant mllltury
uniforms, und the usunl crowd of
good-nntured, pleasure-loving people,
the whole against the background of
the old temples and natural surround
ings making a wonderful spectucle.
The Journey Into Nepnl Is not un
easy one. At first there Is a track
through the forest, but us soon us the
outer hills are rcuched the road loses
Itself In the bed of n stream, up which
the bearers pick their way with diffi
culty over and among great boulders.
The official road finally goes over the
very rough truck across the Chandra
girl puss und down the almost Im
passable road on the other side Into
the Nepal valley. The lust portion
of the descent Is down a long stnir
cuse of roughly-placed blocks of stone,
and It Is marvelous how the laden men
and ponies keep their footing on It.
In the Nepal Valley.
Prom the foot of tho puss un excel
lent cnrrlnge road Into the town of
Khatmnndu runs through the valley
teeming with people, towns, palaces,
temples, und Innumerable shrines
There are miles of such good carriage
roads within the valley, mostly con
structed In Jung Bahadur's time, und
carriages and pnlrs, nnd occasionally
a four-ln-hund nre constantly used by
the palace people.
In this valley, where tho shrines
alono are suld to number more thun
2,700, the buildings present an araass-

lng diversity of form, derived from
muny sources Egyptian, us shown in
the typical form of the windows und
doorwnys finely adapted to local tra
ditions; Persian, Babylonlnn, Indo
Aryan, and even Nestorlun In some of
the designs.
die Inhabitants of Nepal are collec
tively known as "Dwellers In the
Hills," und are divided Into innumer
able castes. The Gurkhas ure now the
dominant race. Among the Gurkhas
there ure 21 castes und In addition to
these, there ure among the Newnrs, or
conquered people, 41 custcs und sub
castes. The most striking buildings of Ne
pal's comparatively modem capital,
Khntmandu, are, perhaps, those com
posing the Durbar puluce, with its
muny quadrangles und pagoda-shaped
roofs, full of chambers und courts
with small communicating doors eas
ily closed, which enuble the Inhabi
tants to defend themselves in case of
polltlcul disturbunces, which are not
infrequent Some of the windows urn
very fine und there are some striking
bits of wood curving.
Patan, the Old Capital.
Patan wus tho old Newur capital,
where Buddhism was the accepted re
ligion of the country before tho In
vasion of the Gurkhas. Although tho
lurgest town In Nepal, It is a quiet,
sleepy place, much of it falling Into
mind, hut Htlll most picturesque. It
stands in tho center of the beautiful
valley, against a background of green
mountains und snowy peuks a net
work of narrow, twisting little streets
packed full of shrines, temples, und
pagodas, many of them deserted and
falling into ruins, but still with ex
quislto bits of carving and wonderful
doorwnys of ull shapes und sizes and
wonderful designs.
Many of Patan's buildings nre dee
onited with sheets of embossed copper
gilt, und everywhere the shrines nre
gunrded by pairs of fearsome unlmals
of enormous size. Curved stone pll
lnrs are surmounted by uulmuls, birds,
or fish modeled In metal; bells of nil
sizes are everywhere, und huge lotus
thrones In brouzo hold bronze Thun
der-Bolts or Dorgls.
The art of the Nepalese, or, properly
sneaking, the Nowurs. Is worthy of
: Btnte of perfection, und their Influence
hns extended through these hills Into
Slkklm, Bhutan, and Tibet. Indian
Influence has penetrated from the
south with the udvance of Buddhism
and hus spread through the hills, along
tho Brnhmuputru valley, to Lhasa, tho
capital of Tibet. On the other bund,
Chinese influence Is nlso strong and
there has been Intercourse with that
country for many centuries.
Beautiful Wood Carving.
Nepuleso wood curving Is extraordi
narily beautiful and ornate. Every
scrap of wood Is curved In some man
ner; tho struts upholding the eaves of
shrines represent satyrs und dragons,
while windows und doors are exam
ples of the most elaborate and minute
workmanship of every conceivable de
sign. The verandas and overhanging
bulconles arc highly ornamented und
the work on some of the plllurs Is very
bold und striking.
In weaving, the natives are de
ficient, the only cloth made be
ing n courso cotton of no artistic value.
The feudal system, which has pre
vailed among these hills for muny
yenrs, Is In a measure responsible for
much of the artistic work of the na
tives, for it enables a man to put his
whole energy Into his work. He has
no cure about food or housing; It Is
to his master's and his own advuntugo
to produce tho most artistic work pos
sible. Nepal maintains a wcll-drlltcd and
efficient urmy of about 82,000 Infantry
nnd 2,500 nrtlllery, with about 100
serviceable and 150 unserviceable
guns. Tho Maharajah 1b not permit
ted to have any Intercourse with Eu
ropeans, and should tho British reel
dent or any official lmvo occasion to
Interview him It Is always In tho pres
ence of somo Nepalese official.
