MONGOLS OP KQ-KO NOS
Living In Pastoral Thibet. They Are
Brigands by Profession.
Our road first lay through the dla*
trict inhabited by the agricultural
tribes on the frontier. Then we en
tered the country occupied by the
Mongols of the Ko-ko Nor. The
pasture there was the richest I have
seen in any part of Thibet, but an
idyllio pastoral life is by no means
practiced by the inhabitants. Brig
andage is the general profession. The
young men spend their time either
in making raids on travelers and on
the encampments of their tribes,
by which moans they mostly acquire
their cherished horses, or in prac
ticing the art of warfare. I wit
nessed a military tournament, at
which some riders at full gallop fired
one after another at a small given
mark.
Those Mongols are tall and fleroe*
looking, says the National Review,
though they proved amfable when
friendly. The men shave their heads.
Both men and women dress in a gown
of sheepskin, girded about the waist,
high boots of felt and skin, bound
below the knee with a leathern Btrap
or cotton garter, and long white felt
coats, which they wear over the
sheepskins when it rains. Their
nummer hat is of white felt, in shape
something like the top hat worn by
the old Welsh market women. The
tap they wear in winter is of white
astrakhan, shaped like a sugar loaf,
with a red and green cotton brim.
The women dress their hair in
little plaits, more than a hundred,
caught together at the ends in a
wide band of colored cloth, which is
embroidered with gay silks, and
gold thread, and studded with coral
and turquoise, silver coins and brass
buttons, which they get from Lhassa.
The tents are round; the inner sides
of trellis-work, the top of wooden
ribs, giving an umbrella shape, and
the whole covered with white felt,
with an aperture for a small door of
wood, and a hole in the roof to let
out the smoke.
A Novel Plan.
In 1808 when Jamestown, N. Y.
was first settled, the inhabitants hit
upon a novel plan for clearing off the
public common. The plot set apart
for that purpose was covered with
trees, which were gradually cut down
by the settlers at odd times when
not otherwise engaged. But the
stumps still remained, and their re
moval was a problem that caused
many discussions among the city
fathers. At last they struck a bril
liant idea, whereby their object was
not only attained, but the intemper
ate members of the community were
taught a salutary lesson. It was duly
enacted that the penalty for getting
drunk was to dig up a large stump,
but if the culprit was only moderate
ly tipsy he was assigned to a smaller
one. It was not long before every
stump disappeared, much to the
credit of the originators of the
scheme and to the discomfiture of
the tipplers.
Vast Property In Receiver*’ Heads.
More than£l, 200,000,000 of railway
property in this country is estimated
to be in the hands of receivers. It
is an imposing total well calculated
to give some notion of the vastness
of the transportatifen interests. Five
great systems placed under receivers
—the Union Pacific, Northern Pacific,
Philadelphia and Reading, F.rie and
Richmond Terminal—represent close
to 25,000 milos of road, with an ag
gregate capitalization $415,725,
711, assets of $1,174,812,871, and
funded debts of $517,028,556. On
stock exchange valuation of the
stocks of these roads are worth about
twelve per cent on the dollar, or say
a total of about $50,000,0001—Rail
way Times.
Familiarity Breed* Contempt.
When Mr. Pete Amsterdam re
turned to his house in Harlem a few
evenings ago his two-year-old son
Tommy rushed into his arms and ex
pressed great joy at seeing him,
while Willie, an older brother, kept
on playing and paid no attention to
his father.
“How is it, Willie,” said Mr. Pete
Amsterdam, “that your little brother
is so glad to see me, while you don't
say a word?”
“I guess it’s because he hasn’t had
you as long as I have,” replied
Willie.—Texas Siftings.
Those Bears • ere Smart.
Out in Washington they have
smart bears. One story tells us of
“a bear which stood down on a water
fall and caught fish and threw them
up the bank to another bear, which
guarded them until they had enough
for a dinner, when the two united in a
square meal.”—Chicago Inter Ocean.
Not Half-Dressed. j
Challes—Aren’t you going out tc
walk with me S’
Henwy—I cahn’t go until I dress,
can I?
Challes—What’s the matter with
your present costume?
henwy—I haven’t got my chrysan
themum on.—Chicago Record.
A Grievous Error.
City Missionary—Why are you in
here, my misguided friend?
Baryl Howes—Fer stealin' hawgs,
I guess. Leastways, that’s what
they say I did.
“You must realize the error of your
ways by this time, I suppose?”
“You bet I do. Hosses has always
been my specialty.”
Scarcity of Giraffe*
Giraffes have become very scarce
since the dervishes seized the basin
of the upper Nile. They were once
to be bought for about $700 each;
now a good giraffe would fetch over
$5,000. The Jardine d’Acclimatation
at Paris recently refused to sell
three very young ones for, $10,000.
ABSOLUTELY BRAINLB88.
Th» Old Man Tails an Explosion Storjr to
Illustrate Ills Httal>»
“I suppose,” said the old man,
“that it is necessary to have just so
many people In the world who have
no brains. Things wouldn’t wag
along—there would be no oxoitemont
if every man knew as much as every
other man. Now, the other day, 1
saw an example of absolute brain
lessness.”
Then the old man paused and
waited to be persuaded to toll tho
story. His audience insisted, and ho
began:
“I was down in the oil country and
was talking to a friend of mino who
uses naphtha in his business. Ho
buys it by the barrel, and as he was
about to order a new lot ho walked
out into tho yard where the stuff
was kept and said to one of his men,
the foreman: ‘Jim, how much naph
tha have we gotP* The foreman told
him that he didn't have much left.
There was but a part of one barrel.
My friend told this man to find out
just how much there was. It was
about 6 o'clock, and quite dark. The
foreman called one of his men and
told him to take a stick and put it
down through the bung-hole of the
barrel. Then he could see how far
the naphtha came up on the stlok and
estimate the amount in the barrel.
“The man had a lantern and the
foreman cautioned him about taking
it near the barrel. He told him to
put the lantern on the ground at
least twenty feet from the barrel,
uuu won go over ana measure me
stuff with a stick. The man sham
bled off toward the barrel. He looked
at it and found the bunghole, and
then put his lantern on the ground
fully two rods from the barrel. Then
he walked back, pulled out the bung
and stuck his stick in the barrel.
Ho pulled it out and deliberately
struck a match to see how much
there was. He held the match down
over the bung, and instantly there
was the biggest explosion you ever
heard. We were thrown down by
the Bhock and the man disappeared
entirely. Thoy gathered him up in
small pieces, deader than a smelt.
“That,” the old man continued,
“was an example of yellow fat in the
place of gray matter. That fellow
was very careful about his lantern.
He didn’t get it near to the barrel,
but he struck a match and almost
dropped it through the bung-hole.
So long as there are so many low
foreheads and narrow eyes in this
world there will be no laok of news
for the papers. ”
Plait as a Fertilizer.
It was a novel object lesson on the
effects of stimulants that a New
Yorker sojourning in Maine last sum
mer discovered. Beside the house
where he boarded was a field that
had once been cultivated, but now
was as barren as the Sahara. “What
is the matter with the land that
nothing will grow on it?” he asked
the fisherman, his host. “Fish did
it," was the laconic answer. “How?”
“Why, it was manured with fish.
You know farmers near the seashore
use porgies, dogfish, and other fish
worthless to eat to fertilize the land.
And don’t the fish just make the
crops grow for a few seasons! Look
at that patch now. For years it
yielded the finest corn, potatoes and
garden sass you ever heard of. You
see the fish .acts on land just as alco
hol acts on a man. It stimulates it
it up to the highest notch
and as long as there is any produc
tive power left in the soil it goes
into the crops. But there came the
time when that field gave out all at
once, and all the fish you could heap
on it wouldn't make it bear so much
as weeds or grass. The only thing
is to let it lie fallow until the soil
gains strength by rest Farmers
round the seashore have found out
that, though fish fertilizers give
them tempting crops to start with,
they must be handled as carefully as
a man ought to handle rum or
brandy,"
A Comedy of I'rrom.
While two wedding processions
were fighting for the road at one of
the gates of Hankow, the chairs
holding the brides got mixed, and
each lady was taken to the wrong
bridegroom. The gentlemen, never
having seen their wives before, ac
cording to the Chinese custom, knew
no mistake. When tho next morn
ing the mothers of tho two brides
went to present the usual hair oil to
their daughters, each found a stran
ger installed in her place. Neither
mother, moreover, had any means of
finding out whero her daughter had
gone. After a very difficult search
of the city the brides were both
found, and then the idea of making
the best of things was blocked by the
fact that one of tho brides, who was
rich and intended for a rich hus
band, had fallen into the hands of a
very poor man. The problem re
mains unsolved.
he Gigantic Coliseum.
According to expert calculations
the Coliseum of Rome soated 87,000
spectators, while 60.000 more could
have found standing room. The
external circumferences of tho
Coliseum as it stands to-day is 1,728
feet, its long diameter 615 feet, its
short diameter 510 feet. The arena
is 279x296 feet and the height of
the building 156 foot There is still
standing four stories of tho original
structure. It was in all probability
the largest building of auditorium
arrangement ever known.

Hudb TOOLS.
With WhUh the Alaskans Fashion Thalr
Canoes.
Before the advent of the Russians in
Alaska, and before the occasional
British and American trading vessels
furnished those native people with
Iron and stool working tools, the only
implomonts they employed in digging
out canoes from Bolld logs wore rudo
adzes, or axes of flint or obsidian.
Even now, whon all kinds of iron or
stool tools Are within easy reaoh, they
employ only a small adze, with which
the greater part of the work is done.
Tho flight of time is of little import
ance to them; and they, therefore, de
vote more of it and of physical energv
to the production of a canoe than a
white man would caro to devote.
If one has plenty of leisure it is an
interesting thing to watch a native
Bhaping a canoe from the moment the
tree from which it is mado has boon
rolled upon the beach in front of tho
village until it is finally oomplotcd.
Frequently the yellow cedar tree fit
for a canoe has to be floated in tho
straits or narrow channels botwoen
the islands for many ratios, after hav
ing been felled with groat dlffloulty on
a steep mountain side. When a ca
noe capable of carrying eight or ten
porsons is wantod, that Is, one about
forty foot long, tho tree is placed upon
tho beach in front of the village, and
there the builder works pationtly and
deftly for months at his task.
iiitttvu «u mtti'Ks unu a raws no
linos to which to work, but dirocts
the small adze used in ho wing by sight
and hand alono. First ho cuts away
the outs'de in small chips, until he
has it smoothly drossod; then ho turns
his attention to the inside, excavating
the interior until ho has reduced the
sides to the uniform thickness of
about an inch and a quarter. Then
the most difficult and delicate task re
mains to bo performed, that Is, to im
part the graceful and delicate curves
for which this kind of craft is noted.
This is done by a primitive process.
The cavity made by hewing out the
interior wood is entirely .tilled with
water and the incomplete canoe cov
ered closely with hemlock bark, old
sailcloth, blankets, or with any
thing else of like kind; and red-hot
stones are thrown into the water to
gonerato steam to soften the wooden
sides.
Pieces of wood are placed cross
wise of the interior, and near the
waist, to assist in gradually swelling
or bulging out the sides, in conformity
to the design. It takes weeks
frequently of patient endeavor to give
the canoe the proper shape and
curves by this process, but when
finished no trained eye can detect any
imperfection in the curves or the
sides. After the requisite shape is
thus given to the craft, the water is
turned out. The stays are allowed to
remain, so that when the yrood dries,
it retains the shape given it in the
stoaming process.
Theso largo canoes, says the Now
York Tribune, have been generally of
two kinds, the great war canoe and
the one used for ordinary purposes of
traveling, hunting and fishing. They
are all painted black; but the war
canoe is embellished fore and aft with
hideously carved figures representing
the totems of the village or family to
which the owner belongs.
BALDNESS.
Explanations Which Do Not Keep With
a Halit irnthnnd.
“The scientists are still discovering
new causes for baldness,1’ remarked
the observer. “I do not see so much
now about tight hat bands and heavy
headgear. I believe that tho truest
explanation of permanent baldness
may be found in the circumstances of
temnorary baldnoss which often fol
lows severe illness. Nature is econom
iacl, and when the blood supply is not
sufficient for the entire organism, as
after a wasting illness, she cuts off the
ration for tho least vital part, such as
the hair and nails.
“This problem of supply and de
mand is illustrated in tho common
phenomenon of a heavy beard and a
thin top thatching, and its converse a
mop of hair surmounting a smooth or
scragg-ly fringed face. It is all a ques
tion of what nature can do in tho lino
of nourishment. Women sometimes
complain that tholr mass of locks
gives them a headache, and I raise
the query, Is not keeping up such
great ropes of hair a drain upon tho
system?
“If you will examine a single hair
you will find sections wh.ch are
weaker than others, giving evidence
that because of underfeeding or over
work tho supply of nourishment has
not kept up with tho demand. Dys
pepsia is an ever-increasing cause of
baldness. The system runs down, and
not enough vigorous blood is manu
factured to keep all parts well fed.
Nature cuts down her payroll, and
she begins by laying off the hair.”

^Review-Reviews
Edited by ALBERT SHAW

iT WAS in April, 1891, that the first number
of the American Review of Reviews was
printed. The new idea of giving the best that was in
the other magazines in addition to its own brilliant, orig
inal articles, took America by storm,_ as it had taken
England—though the magazine itself was not at all a
repnnt of the English edition., .It deals most largely with
American anairs, and is edited, with perfect independence, in its own office.
The Review of Reviews is a monthly, timely In illustration and text,
and instantly alive to the newest movements of the day, to a degree never
before dreamed of.. Thousands of readers who offer their commendations,
among them the greatest names m the world, say that the Review of
Reviews gives them exactly what they should know about politics, litera
ture, economics and social progress. The most influential men and women
of all creeds and all parties have agreed that no. family can afford to lose its
eaucaiionai value, wnue lor profes
sional and business men, it is simply
indispensable The departments are,
conducted by careful specialists, in
stead of mere scissors-wiclders, and
scores of immediately interesting por.
-traits and pictures are in each number.
All this explains why the Review
o1 Reviews has come to a probably
unprecedented success in the first three
years of its existence. For 1895 it
will be more invaluable than ever.
