C. tee PAUACE or THR "DAlLm LAMft TIHBT has had for centuries a fas cinatlon which has 1?><1 many explorers to their death. It oc cupies an lnunehso area of the oldest of the continents, and it is in habited by strange Monoloid people Who have vainly tried to live a hermit existence. Several centuries ago a j law was enacted and niude part of the Tibetan religion prohibiting any Euro pean' entering the country, and this law was rigidly effective until the Brit ish, expedition under Colonel Yoirug husbahd captured the capital of Tibet several?years ago. The remoteness of Tyiet, the hardships to be met in cross ing the immense ranges of mountains, the hostility of the barbarous tribes Of the country and the jealousy of the lamas or priests aided in keeping this region unknown to the rest of the world, writes Henry L. Peterson In Grit. Tibet Is practically treeless and bit terly cold, for the mountains here reach great altitudes and naturo pre sents her wildest and most repellent moods. The ruggedness of the land scape is reflected in the people them selves who are very low in the scale of civilization. One explorer of this lit tle-known country says in describing the inhabitants: "Among the varying scales of hu mankind the Tibetan is entitled to the lowest position; it would be impos sible to Imagine n people more unen lightened and barbarous, savage and degraded In all the terms savagery and degradation imply. One who has never seen a Tibetan nomad on his native heath can have no conception of his unpleasant appearance; the swarthy complexion, long black hair, piercing coal-black eyes, half-naked figure with an enormous spear slung on his back and a rusty matchlock in his hand, makes the best figure for a painter I ever saw. When opportunity presents Itself to attack and plunder a small caravan without chance of resistance he Js a perfect, embodiment of vain glorious bravery, but at the first show of aggression, or even the feeblest of real dangers, he is the veriest cow ard." Many Small Tribe#. The Tibetans are composed of many small tribes, varying In customs, man ners and even language, but held to gether by the religious domination of the Dalai Lama; for in government Tibet is a theocracy almost pure and simple. Their habits of life are Inde scribably filthy, and morals, according to Western standards, have no exist ence. Says one writer who has Ifred among them for a time: "The love of eating Is common to all Tibetans. For many months I lived among them to bear witness to their dipping-their hands up to their wrists In one dish, eating Sheep's fnsldes, and sleeping under tents'crawling with ver min engendered by their filthy habits. They are gluttonous and will eat at all times until gorged, then Ho down and sleep like brutes." The pest of vermin Is widespread, for their religion, particularly among the more educated, forbids the taking of life, and to kill a louse Is considered a moral sin which may condemn the slayer's soul to an eternity of horrible punishment. Wretched Lot of the Women. * The traveler cannot fall to he struck by the hardness and misery of the Ti betan woman's lot, says the writer Just quoted. Although, owing to the dispar ity between the sexes, a woman Is a valuable commodity, she Is "treated with contempt and her existence is in- j definitely worse than that of domestic animals. Polyandry, several husbands for one wife, is generally practiced, in creasing the horror of her position,- for she is required to be the slave to a number of masters who treat her with rigorous harshness and brutality. From the day of her birth to that of her death her life is one protracted pe riod of d<*rndation. She is called upon ttf perforfn the most degrading and menial of services and she is obliged to perform almost the entire manual labor of the community, as it in considered debasing for a man to engage in other labor than that of the chase or warfare. The woman has no voice In thfc selection qf her numerous husbands. She is sold like a horsg or a cow to the highest bidder. The rites of death and burial aro very curious. When a chief or other In fluential member of u tribe dies his body Is fastened to a stake and ex posed to the attacks of beasts and birds In the belief that all the evil parts of his body will be consumed. After that, what remains Is cremated and the ashes placed In magic bowls mixed with charms and portions to be used as medicines. The most disreputable quarter of Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, is occupied by the famous tribe of ltagyabas, or beggar scavengers, the men whose re pulsive occupation Is to break up the bodies of the dead. A more brutal ized type of humanity cannot be imag ined, aud they live In the foulest of hovels. Filthy In appearance, half naked, clothed In obscene rags, these people live In houses unfit to house a hog. The veil which has for centuries hid den Tibet from the rest of the world has been lifted, but the spectacle re vealed has not been a particularly sa vory one. MAN IS TAKEN AT OWN VALUE Humility Is Called a Virtue but It Ceases to Be One If It Is Car ried Too Far. Humility Is called a virtue. It Is'so Unless carried too far. A map is us ually taken at his own value. \If he makes too little of himself, he is like ly to be thought of little worth. The unduly humble man will lack, the strength of character needed for suc cess. He will have little Influence in society and will not be fitted to hold , responsible position. While too great opinion of one self stands in the way of progress, too great humility Is worse, says the Mil waukee Journal. Conceit receives many knocks in life and may be taken out of a man; too much humility sel dom receives the needed encourage ment. Conceit in a child Is soon cor rected when he comes to mingling with other children In schools. Too great humility gives his schoolmates a chance to put upon him and treat him as an inferior?a chance which will seldom be neglected. A child may become crippled in spirit for life In this way. Even teachers sometimes fall to see what is the trouble with the child and to give him the encourage ment he needs. Beware of breaking down a child's self-confidence. Irrepa rable injury may thus be done him. Train him to feel that he Is of value and Is able to do what there is for him to do. Think well of yourself if you would have others think well of you. Food Conservation. She was of the stage. That was plain. For she had certain'curls, cer tain hues of cheek, and certain looks of the eye which told this story. Then,' too, she had a dog, which sat behind her chair, as she ate her meal, brought from the bread line which passes the steam tables.
