la vw of England'! present campaign
In Thibet anything about thla ourlous
country possesses an Interest wbioh par
haps was lacking before.
When I went to school I know all about
tha location of Thibet; could bound It on
the map, etc.; but many years of aotlvs
business Ufa had driven all such Informa
tion about this and many other similar
countries entirely out of my mind, and
doubtless there are many ethers who. If
suddenly asked the question, "Where Is
Thibet?" would feel Inclined to give
somewhat evasive. answer.
WelL Thibet la In the northern part of
India or, more properly speaking, Just
north of India from which It Is separated
by the Himalaya mountains. Thibet saw
fit to entlmly disregard certain arrange
ments It had made with England regarding
trading privileges, which England had
cured from that country, and England's
protests were treated with contempt, many
of Lord Curson's communications In re
lation to this matter being returned un
opened.
Now, It does not behoove any such ootnv
try as Thibet to dally In thla way with
England, as Thibet baa now discovered.
Finding all other means of no avail, Eng
land dispatched a column under Colonel
Tounghusband, which has been Quiescent
during the Intensely cold. weather preva
lent there in winter, but wmcn lately ad
vanced, with disastrous results to the Thl
belans, who opposed It and who would
not disarm whan surrounded, but stub
bornly held on to their arms and endeav
ored to repulse the English, with the
bloody result so well known.
I feel somewhat qualified to write about
Thibet, for, although I have not been In
that country, . I have been on the border
of It and looked over the fence Into Thibet,
so to speak, from the Himalaya moun
tains.
No European traveler Is allowed to enter
Thibet, and, should any European enr
deavor to do so. In some way or another,
the news leaks out that he Is on hla way
to the pass, and he will find a Thibetan
guard awaiting hla arrival, and be plainly
given to understand that the climate Is
not healthy for him there.
The Real Raters.
The country la really governed by priests
or lamas, of whloh there are a great num
ber, In fact, they form a large proportion
of Its population. The higher priests axe
Virtually rulers of the country and the
Kurd Lama, or pope. Uvea In an enormous
palace built on the aide ef a high cliff-
like hllL
While tbe lamas are actually the rulers.
the nominal ruler Is kept boused In the
palace and never allowed to leave it. He
la selected when quite young, and a very
unfortunate selection .It Is for the one
elected, for he Is practically condemned
to a life of Imprisonment in the palace,
and not a very long life, for they never
live very long, but are made away with,
some other1 child Is selected and it Is given
out that the spirit of the former pope has
transferred Itself to the hew one, and the
unfortunate new one Is domiciled In the
palace to vanish similarly when the lamas
think It Is the right time.
The question will naturally arise, "How
la all thla known if outsiders are strictly
xcluded from the country T" A certain
Japanese learned very much about all
these matters by entering the country as
, Thibetan lama, and he was ao suc
cessful in personating one that he received
the oblations of the people and aaw con
siderable of the inside workings at the
government and pries ts, He wag finally
discovered, but managed to escape Just In
time to prevent his life paying the forfeit
of his Investigations. His Japanese fea
tures aided him In doing this, for the Thib
etan face la somewhat similar to the Jap
anese, although it also strongly resembles
the Chinese o much so that many Thib
etan we saw looked almost like Chinese,
and it was a very striking drcumatanoe
to leave by daylight, surrounded by Hin
doo natives, with their characteristic faces
and costumes, and after traveling ail night
to look out of the oar window on a race
entirely different in facial characteristics
and costume, although not la their squalid
and dirty mode ef living, as evidenced by
their' houses we passed.
We could not go Into Thibet, but Thibet,
or, rather the Thibetans, oould oorae where
we were, for In going to Darjeellng, In the
northern part of India, among the Hima
laya mountains, we at one time were
within about thirty miles of Thibet, and
from the summit of the mountain, to which
we went to see the sun rise and illumine
Mount Everest, tbe highest mountain n
the world, we oould look over Into what
we knew wag Thibet, and many Thibetans
have moved across the border and are
living In and around Darjeeling.
,. Mm & Well Armed.
The men are very muscular looking and,
Unlike the natives of India, are completely
encased In . clothing, which tha climate
doubtless renders necessary, although many
of the children wear but a single gar
ment. Bometlmes the men are barefooted,
and while pulling our Jlnrikisba up the
mountain to our hotel there were places
where the snow- had been packed late loe
and these barefooted men calmly tramped
vor It aa If It had been the velvety green
srward which It was In summer. Stuck In
a cotton scarf, or wrapping, about the
waists of the men la a. large, most mur
derous looking knife ef curved shape, with
a blade about four Inches across. In the
middle, and very sharp on the edge and
point. This Is not only a means of de
fense, but can be used In other ways, such
as cutting saplings and digging. It Is en
cased In a stout leather sheath and the
arrylng of this weapon is universal. Even
the laborers on the railroad had these hug
knives fastened around them aa they
Worked. They don't cost muoh and I be
came the possessor of one for about $1.60.
It Is true, the vendor began by asking
about three times as much, but, like the
natives of other parts of India, they always
ask about three times what they are will
lngi to sell for.
The Prayer Wheel aa Aid te Piety.
Tbe lamas, or priests, are usually very
asoetio in appearance and have many pe
culiar forms which they use In what they
would term their religious exercises. It is
a peculiar religion, but one which has a
firm hold on the Thibetans and enables the
hordes of lamas to live and thrive at the
expense of the others. One of their most
characteristic articles of religious use Is
the prayer wheel. This Is a small brass
cylinder, about four Inches In diameter
aud of about the same length. Inside of
the cylinder Is tightly tracked a roll, on
which an enormous number of prayers
have bean written, usually repetitions of
tha same prayer. A pivot runs through the
cylinder, working on a rather hard piece
of bone, which Is attached to the handle.
On the cylinder Is suspended some little
weights, which fly out by centrifugal mo
tion and cause the cylinder, after It has
been started, to continue revolving. It Is
held la the hand et the priest and wade to

devolution being a prayer, and as so many
prayers are packed Inside each revolution
means the multiplication of the prayer. The
bone pivot lasts a long time, but It will
waar down, and the man who can shew a
pivot thus worn dewn la looked up to as
very pious. This, It will be seen, Is an Im
provement upen the good old deaoons plan
of attaching his prayer to the bedpost and
on bitterly cold nights Jumping into bed
with a "them's my setttlments. Lord."-
Thibetan temple Is a small, square and
rather dirty and dingy building", looKlng
like a dwelling. On the outside, standing
on a sort of shelf, are two or three large
cylinders which contain prayers and work
on the same principle an the small hand
prayer wheels. The building has some
grotesque and very crude ornamentation,
and the ceremonies are decidedly barbarlo.
The Thibetans' "Devil Dance."
One of their ceremonies is what Is called
the devil dance. We saw this danced in
front of one . of these temajes. It Is de
signed to frighten off the evil spirits and
cause among them such a panlo that they
depart very hurriedly for fresh fields end
pastures new. Two or three men with
very rude Instruments keep up a monoto
nous noise, a sort of a drum being the
principal Instrument. They begin slowly
and finally the drum beats faster and
faster, the dancers accelerating their speed
to correspond. There were about nine
dancers, males, some of them petng quite
young. They formed tn a oirole, facing in
ward and throwing up their Lands till their
arms were about horisontal, began a pe
culiar dance, turning their bodies round as
they danced and working their arms up and
down. All had the same motion, whloh
finally beoame very rapid, until one after
the other became exhausted and dropped
out and finally only one was left and he
cavorted around alone for some time until
he finally dropped out
Some of the dancers held In their
hands devil daggers. These are small
pointed brass Instruments about four Inches
long, having; a peculiar handle rormea or
elephants' h'nds and other designs, and a
sort of three-cornered blade. The dancers
held these daggers In their hsnds, and from
lme to time made a lunge with them in tho
klr. These lunges were figuratively punc
turing the anatomy and otherwise torroent-
ng the evil spirits, so they were glad to
depart to where people did not have this
habit of sticking bras daggers Into them.
It ts necessary that tals instrument be
made in Just such a form and all are made
practically after the same design. '
In their services. In the temples, various
other implements are used, and a kind of
horn is blown by the priests, some of whloh
are partially made of a human thighbone,
through which the priest tlow"s. This is a
rather grewsome kind of an instrument. A
suitable consideration made me the pos
sessor of one, which had been used for
years in a Thibetan temple.
It Is not difficult to acquire these relic
from their temple, for there are so many
priests rather poorly off, and so many tem
ples, that It Is very easy for a number of
trmple articles to dtsappea. and the priest
goes over the border with the articles and
goes back without them, but richer by sev
eral rupees, and doubtless ..their religion Is
not of sufficient depth to give the priest
any qualms ef conscience by reason of his
thus appropriating churchly thing without
the sanction of the board of deacons, as It
were.
The Thibetan tomb ax very curious lookJ
lng things, consisting of an arched, oval
struoture, surrounded by a masonry. fence
or wall about four feet high, that extends
all around the oval about three feet from
it, with a plastered walk Inside the wall,
and around the oval, The whole thing ts
plastered over and whitewashed, having
the appearance of an elongated Esquimaux
hut A number of poles stick up from the
wall and these have long strip of muslin
about six Inches wide, and on these strips
are painted In their characters some Incan
tation which, a they flap In the wind,
keep off the evil spirits and allow the de
ceased to rest In peace. The tomb which I
saw was on a hill, entirely separate from
any other structure.
The above will give some idea of the
characteristic of this very peculiar peo
ple the English government has to deal
with. Strong physically, stolid, steeped in
a superstition that Is (heir religion, prac
tloajly uncivilised, as we regard civiliza
tion, this is the foe that England has now
to combat for there can be no turning
back on England' part now, and there
can doubtless be but one termination. The
lion will lie down with the lamb, but the
lamb will be Inside of the lion, and Eng
land will have the controlling Influence.
But England maintains her ascendency
over the peoples of India and other coun
tries by utilising their religion of super
stltlon to her advantage and treating it
with respect Instead of endeavoring to root
It out which would be an impossibility,
and ao the native goes on in his idolatry,
a he ha always dooe, and England
thrive.
I use the term idolatry advised ry, for al
though many of the Oriental religion ar
of great beauty and meaning to those high
up in their lore, I feel convinced that the
million of the common people know noth
ing of any high spiritual truths, but u
perstltlously go through certain forms,
suoh a their father have done before
for age.
PenUnlae Beauty la a Scarce Article.
The Thibetan women would not be re
garded by a connoisseur a thing of
beauty. Their face are usually ooarse
featured and are often stained and colored
In a manner not unlike those of the 'orth
American squaw. They are, however,
very erect and strong and can walk oft
with a very heavy load with the greatest
ease. A very singular thing la that many
of them wear moccasins, like our Indians,
these meooaslna coming three or four
Inches above the ankle, so that they some
what resemble boots. They wear a great
deal of jewelry, their earring being Im
mense things; o largo, in fact that while
they are attached to the ear their weight
is supported by a wire or cord that goes
around the top of the head. Their finger
ring are many, and earrings, finger rings
and necklace ar largely made of tbe
turquoise matrix.
These women, in many case, when thy
were met In the street would point to
their sarongs and otherwise indicate that
they were not averse to parting with them
for a consideration. In fact, they were very
persistent in urging the purchase of ear
ring, necklaces or finger ring they war
wearing.
This is about as near as we ever came
to a forbidden country that we oould net
have entered If we had wanted to and
had the wherewithal to conciliate the rail
roads. Brooklyn Dagle.

ANOTHER ULYSSES S. GRANT THERE
Sherman Represented by st Namesake,
Sheridan and Miles by Sons
Sons of Confederates Also)
tn the Reamlar Bank.
For year ora of the name of our
many heroes, dead and living, have been
retained by their descendants - on the long
roll of the army, and from tbe make-up of
It today the fact may be perpetuated. Cue
of the ranking general olllcers in the serv
ice said the other day that the mere rela
tion of these names In the service ha
most beneficial effect In that the name
alone was a constant reminder of faithful
and distinguished service, of gallantry la
action, of esprit de corps, eto.
' In nearly every arm of tbe service, in
nearly every regiment of cavalry or In
fantry one may see a name which ha
helped to make American history brilliant
That history repeat itself remains to be
seen, but there Is no doubt that all of the
on stand ready to repeat, deed of valor
aa glorious as those of their famous
fathers.
Perhaps the most prominent Of these sons
Is Frederick Dent Grant bow a brigadier
general and commanding the big Depart
ment of the Lakes, with headquarter at
Chicago. Fred Grant aa he la familiarly
known, was born tn Missouri his father
being stationed at St Loul In 1S50, Just
after hi return from gallant service on the
Mexican frontier, especially at Chapultepeo.
The present General Grant is also a West
Pointer and wa at the military academy
from lsea to 1S71, when he was appointed a
second lieutenant of cavalry and assigned
to the Fourth regiment
Five years after he was appointed a first
lieutenant In the same regiment but mean
while he held the rank of lieutenant colonel,
being aide-de-camp to Lieutenant General
Sheridan from March 17, 1873, to June 1,
1881. In October of that year h resigned
from the regular service.
(The
He-enter the Army.
The outbreak of the war with Spain
found him colonel of the Fourteenth New
York Infantry, and this evidently wa the
topping stone for his re-entry into the
regular army, for twenty-five day after
ward he was appointed a brigadier general
of volunteers, which commission he held
until he again entered the permanent es
tablishment in February, lf'l- In a few
month he will have reached the grade of
major general, and It I pussllng to many
whether he will before his compulsory re
tirement in lxli reach the top of the mili
tary ladder, aa did hi Illustrious father.
TheC name Of Ulysses S. Grant Is being
perpetuated In the army by bis grandson,
who 1 Ulywe 8. id and who 1 the son of
General Fred D. Grant This, the young
eat of all the Grants now In the service, Is
a lieutenant of engineers and was a "star"
graduate at West Jolnt in 19u3, which gave
him fels OWA slulkitt U h Ux ra of
service he desired to enter. It I a Strang
coincidence that patriotism should follow
both father and son so strongly all
through llfe for each was born on a na
tional holiday, the father on May SO and
the son on- July 4.
Two Sheridan Illumine the roll of offi
cers Michael V.,' a brother of the gallant
"Little Phil," and now on the retired list
as a brigadier general, and then comes tbe
son and namesake, Philip Henry', who re
sembles hi brave father, not only in phy
sique, but in force of character. ' Toung
Sheridan 1 now a lieutenant' of the Fifth
cavalry and is with his troop at Fort
Huachuca. He 1 also a West Pointer.
The names of Sherman and Miles are
now combined In the American army by
Cadet Sherman Miles,' now a member of
the corps of cadets at West Point He Is
the son of General Nelson A. Miles, and
get his Christian name from the ma
ternal side of the family his mother being
a daughter of Judge Sherman, who was a
brothery of John and Tecumaeh Sherman.
Navy Name in Uie Army.
One arm of the service ha been mad
famou by a Schley, and the other arm la
now represented by that admiral's son,
Captain Thomas Franklin Schley, who is
with hi regiment, the Twenty-third In
fantry, In the Philippines. Captain Schley
has been In the army for twenty years
seven of which was as an enlUted man In
the signal corps, while all of his service
aa a commissioned offloer ha been with
the Twenty-third Infantry sine 18Si.
The present ranking officer of the army,
Adas K. Chaffee, chief ef staff, with rank ,
of lieutenant general, ha a eon and name
sake in the third class at West Point
While the father of the foregoing fought
on the Union side In the civil war, there
are many whose father fought for the
Confederacy, and among these the most
prominent are the Lees. There ar three
representatives of thl 'distinguished Vir
ginia family now in the army, father
and two sons. Fltchugh Lee needs no In
troduction to student of American history.
Born, like all the Lees, In Virginia, h
sntered West Point In 1863, and upon hi
graduation in 186 wa assigned to the Sec
ond cavalry. When war was declared In
1861, he resigned hi regular army commis
sion and fought with the Confederacy as
a major general from Ul to 1865. Tho
Maine disaster and the outbreak of tbe
war with Spain found him our United
States consul at Havana. On hla recall
to Washington he wa at once made a
general officer of volunteer and served
as such for three years. By the aot of
February t 1901, he was made a brigadier
general In the regular army and ras Im
mediately retired.
Fftshngh Lee's Son.
General Lee' son and namesake, Flts-
hugh, Jr., is also a cavalry officer, being a
first lieutenant of the Twelfth regiment
but will In a very short time be made a
captain. During the war with Spain he
served as a first lieutenant of engineers
(volunteers), and upon his honorable dis
charge wa commissioned a second lieu
tenant of Infantry, but aa ail the Lee ax
horsemen, he was transferred to the First
oavalry, and after two years' servlo with
that regiment was promoted and assigned
to hi present organisation.
His brother, George Mason Lee, began
his volunteer service as a lieutenant In the
Thirty -ninth volunteers, and has seen ser
vice In the Philippine. Upon the muster
out of that regiment he entered the regular
service aa a second lieutenant of the Sev
enth cavalry, and after two year of duty
wa promoted to first lieutenant in his
present reglnient th Fourth cavalry.
The on and namesake of another noted
Confederate army leader Is James Long
street, Jr., another cavalry officer and now
a first lieutenant of the Thirteenth regi
ment v
Again, there Is th SOS And namesake of
that famous Confederate general, George
E. -Pickett. Toung Pickett is a major In
the pay department
W must not forget the Wheelers "Fight
lng Joe" and hi son and namesake. While
the father Is now on th retired list aa a
brigadier genera, Jee Wheeler, Jr., is now
a captain of ooast artillery, but at present
an assistant Instructor f ordnance and
gunnery at the Military academy. The
young officer ha had a brilliant career and
ha seen good service In the Philippines.
