A1 - U:! yat.Id BB BB 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.

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. Sara, liook Learning. Lady—Have you any Turkish towels? Now Boy—Turkish towels? ••Yes.

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.” Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder World’s Pair Highest Modal and Dtploau.

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.
