SAVAGES OF ASIA. The Untamed Chitcs of Tibet Are Idolaters and Cannibals. MURDER IN THEIR RELIGION. At Their Wild Csrsmonies the Priests of These Barbarians Offer Up Hu? man Secr.ficee to Their Grotesque and Repulsive Stone Gods. ? religious festival by a savage tribe of Asia. In which occurred a human Sacrifice and the burning of the victim on a funeral pyre. Is described by Wll Ham Jameson Held in his book. "Unex? plored Asia." The rites were held In a place called Cbite City, Tzuchan. which was reached sfter a hazardous Journey through the Ping mountains. Bo says: ??Let me give a brief history of this strange race, who for centuries have defied the most persistent research of explorers' and ethnologists. Many cen tariea ago. in the vicinity of Shanghai, tfeera lived a highly enlightened race known as the Chites. They were the moat fanatical and bigoted Buddhists, to fanatical. In fact that their turbu? lent spirits and eager desire to sow the eaed of proeelvtlsro caused frequent revolutionary disturbances. The gov? ernment, as Its only means of salva? tion, made war on them. For years the Chi tea battled against overwhelming odds until at last, their numbers fear fairy reduced, they gradually retired to the want, settling here and there, only to be again driven back. After years of wanderings they located In the wild mountain region of northwestern Tibet. "For untold centuries they have held entirely aloof from their more civilized Chinese neighbors, and today they are as unta/ned and barbarous as were their fierce ancestors. Many of them are savages of the worst degree; even cannibalism Is said to be prevalent among many of them. They acknowl? edge no allegiance to the emperor, en? tirely Ignore the authority of the man? darine and hold no communication with the outside world. Tet we have visited their wild domain; we have penetrated Into their atronghold and have witnessed tbetr strange customs. "It had been our Intention to steal Into the city under cover of night, bnt from onr position of vantage we could tea that some religious demonstration was lo progress, and we did net dare to move. For half an hour our guides (natives) crawled out on the plain and returned with the Information that they had discovered a considerable cave in the hillside to the left of the town, which would screen us from ob servatton and at the same time permit ae to watch the movements of those Inside the walls. We had Just time to reach our place of concealment when the leaders of the procession entered the narrow orifice and halted while torches were being lit to guide their pasasges through the gathering gloom. Following them pressed the unkempt crew, until the Interior of the dome shaped cave was "filled to the point of suffocation. "For half nn hour the ear torturing strife of discord waxed louder at every moment until a hundred devils In hu? man form flitted beneath the flare of flickering ton lies A frenzied enthu*1 ss? would lenp Into the nlr. lacerating himself with a knife, grasping the gory atrip of flesh and grinding It under his Deal, or taunting a neighbor Into the spirit of emulation by flaunting before his eyes the ghastly piece of flesh. Sud? denly from out the compact mass rose a howl of mingled anguish and fury, and a solitary Individual mounted a sort of platform and stretched forth his hand. Evidently he was a high priest. Instantly there was silence. The light of the torches enabled us to aee the man who had mounted the plat? form, lie was s tall, gaunt Individ? ual All his right side was naked, and his face was covered with gaping rents of knife wounds, from which blood trickled. *'A garment of coarse cloth covered his body below the waist. Soon we ?aw five others follow him upon the platform, which was of raised earth. In a recess In the wall at the rear of the p'.itform one could see the dis? torted form of a gigantic Image?a fteuy.

Oh, mako It 23 In the mid die?What did you say your name was, mister?" Now, nobody can make any combi? nation of the foregoing figures which will spell anything like a decent pair of pants. But the tailor cares uothim: Whatever about the figures which he calls out to Jlmmle aud Indeed makes no reference to them In his later op orations. He knows the pants won't fit, anyhow, so what's the use? If you watch him you will discover that he usually takes np some other man's measurements when he undertakes the laying out of that particular gar? ment on which he puts your name. Hsvlug selected from the mast* of papers on bis desk a set of figures which suits him, he goes behind his counter, yawns, looks In the glass, smooths down his hslr, hunts for the plsce where he left his cigar aud at last picks up a thing which looks liko a board rule, with a curve In the cor? ner like s hockey stick. If you sre not watching him he will probably cut your pants by ear and will not bother to use this Implement, but if you insist upon Inspection he'l! make 1 pretense of scientific use of this In? strument, whose real nature or pur? pose no human being knows or ever will know. What the tailor is thinking of as he begins to mako chalk marks in a piece of blue paper, using this rule as a straight edge, is the "Joy ride" he is going to have with Marie In his new anto that evening. It makes no dif? ference to him whether the chalk slips or not, nor is It Important how far along this or that angle he allows the strslght or curved line to run. He knows they are not going to fit, any? how, so why should he bother about it overmuch? The only hope you can possibly have meantime is the oi.e raised In your bosom when the tailor, from behind the counter, looks up*and nays: "Jlmmle, why In the world didn't you mark the name on this gent's pants? Oh, well, never mind." The tailor goes on making several cnte little pictures on the blue paper by aid of this curved thing, which has numbers scattered along It here and there. He draws In several Isoscles triangles, converging at more or less the same point; but, not liking the looks of these, he rubs out some of the lines and tries over again. Then he forgets which ones he rubbed out. It makes no difference anyhow. At last he stands off, critically gazes upon the pattern which he has been casting, makes a hit or miss crosswise dab with the chalk?which determines, wholly by chance, how long yonr pants are going to be?and smiles to himself. ?Everybody's Magazine.

Most of her time was spent upon the ramparts, where she remained during the hottest fire. She was absolutely without fear.

For a long time Alexandria was the only medical center of the world, and the pttysician (ialen, born about 130 A. I>., had to journey from Home to the African city evet to see a skele? ton. He sent his students to the Ger? man battlefields to dissect the bodies of the national enemies, while he him? self used apes as most resembling hu? man beings.

Leonardo da Vinci, painter of "The Last Sup? per," was a great anatomist, but dis? section had fallen into disuse when t Vesalius finally revived It about the middle of the sixteenth century. I Even in comparatively modern times anatomists have been the object of at? tacks by the populace. In 1765 Dr. ? John Bhlppen of Philadelphia was mobbed as a grave robber. Doctors' riots In New York occurred twenty three years later and were due to the belief thut the medical students rob? bed graves continually. It was the lack of opportunity to obtain subjects regularly that led to the practice of grave robbing and originated what Dr. Keene calls "a set of the lowest possible villains?the resurrectionists." -New York World.

It seems hardly credible that less than a century ago counsel were not allowed to address a jury In defense of a prisoner. Sydney Sailtb first preached against this cruel law. Ho pointed out that, while in any court where property was concerned counsel was heard on both sides, in a court where human life was trembling In the balance only the prosecuting Counsel was heard, and it was unfair to match a prisoner, unaccustomed to marshal facts and unable to speak, against skilled counsel, whose sole purpose for Its own reputation was to win a case. Sydney Smith's eloquent words led to the passing of the pris oner's defense act, 1820, which alter od the practice. Another unjust practice which was peculiar to the Old Hailey was that when an accused person was acquit? ted he was obliged to pay the fees of Newgate or go back for want of mon? ey. So many unfortunate prisoners died in Newgate through this that Al? derman Brown, lord mayor it 1733, caused an order of the court to be made that when any tccused persons were acquitted by their country they should iustnntly be discharged in i court without paying any fees what? soever, an order which has been strict? ly adhered to ever sluce. Of the challenging of jurors one re? members a tale from Ireland. The prisoner was hard to satisfy, and jury- ! man after juryman was asked to leave , the box. However, all things come to , an end, even in Ireland, and at last the swearing of the jury was complet- ' ed. And then the prisoner leaned over the dock and sought the ear of his solicitor. "The jury's all right I now, I think," he whispered, "but ye j must challenge the judge. I've been 1 convicted under him sivlral times al? ready, and maybe he's beginnin' to have a prejudice."?London Chronicle. OPEN AIR EXERCISE. Always a Factor In the Building Up of a Man.

If the first great danger of athletics for the professional or business man. ! the brain worker and man of seden^r;. habits generally is not getting enough of them the recond is like unto it? ? stopping them too soon. No little of the bad after effects so frequently ascribed to athletics in college and school life is really due to their sud- | den discontinuance rfter graduation. The building of man is never fin? ished until he is dead. His life Is all In one piece, and what is good for him at one stage of his existence is, muta til mutandis, good for him in all. While man's nere stature and gross weight and even "horsepower" may have attained their maximum by twenty-two or twenty-three, the effi? ciency of both his mind aud body for h?s particular life work ought to and under most circumstances does go on steadily increasing until he is fifty, fifty-five and even sixty years of age.

This is true iwirtly because of the fewer historical Incident! connected with the eastern regions, but mainly on account of the great abyss of the Jordan val? ley that has always acted as a barrier. Few who descend into the valley 1,300 feet below sea level undertake to climb tho hills beyond, which rise to a height of 3,000 feet. Though its glory is far outshone by that of western Palestine, still, both in the old and the new dispensations, it has a history ot Its own and from an economic stand' point will always enter very largely into the life of Palestine.

Curious Custom That Prevails In East? ern Bavaria. In the eastern half of Bavaria, says a writer in the Wide World Magazine, on the borders of Bohemia, lies the sc called Bavsrian forest. This part of the country, although It boasts bear, i ful scenery, is seldom visited by tour? ists, probably for the reason that tl>.? charms of the region are little known even in Germany. This part of Bnva ria has been in many ways untouched by civilization and owing to its seclu? sion from the outer world some very strange customs are still in vogue, strongly reminding one of the middle ages. One of these strange customs, strict? ly observed by the population, is the way in which they keep alive the memory of their dead by the erection of what are called "totenbrctter." or "death boards." These are wooden planks cut in the shape of tombstones and roughly painted. Sometimes they bear also the Image of a saint. They are erected?often in a row of thirty and more?on the roadside, in fields and meadows, near chapels and cruci? fixes. In the village streets?In short, everywhere; they are even nailed to houses and barns. They do not mark burial places, as might be supposed. As soon as a per? son has died the corpse is put on a board, and there It lies in state until it Is put into the coffin shortly before the funeral. These boards, then, are the so called "death boards," and after the funeral they are cut into a suitable shape and decorated with an inscrip? tion containing the name of the de? ceased, his age and in most cases some lines of poetry. These short poems, which are, of course, meant in sober earnest, are oc? casionally very amusing. The boards are then stuck somewhere near the road or in the fields, where they some? times accumulate to an alarming num? ber. In the poorer districts these boards are not always cut into shape and painted, but are simply deposited J.ist as they are at the foot t/l some crucifix-, where they remain untouched until they molder away. An Anecdote of Pops. There is an old auecdote of Alexan? der Pope concerning one of the old watermen who were employed for many years in rowing Pope on the Thames. Pope was in the habit of having his sedan chair lifted Into the punt If the weather was fine he let down the glasses; if cold he pulled them up. He would sometimes say to the waterman: "John, I am going to repea; some verses. Take care to remember them the next time 1 go out." Wheo that time came Pope would say: "John, where are the verses I told you of?" "1 have forgotten them, sir." "John, you are a blockhead. I must write them down for you." John said that no one thought of saying when speaking of him, "Mr. Pope," but that he was always called "Mr. Alexander." The Original Encyclopedia. The first real encyclopedia was Pliny's "Natural History." This work was an extensive oue, numbering some thirty-seven volumes and dealing with all the then known facts of the world. Pliny, who died A. D. 79. collected the data for his work in his leisure inter? vals while engaged in public affairs. The "Natural History" was for its time nn amazing production, treated of some 20,000 facts and was of very high au? thority turoughout the entire middle ages. Forty-three editions of the work were printed before the year 1536. and no scholar's library was considered complete without it?New York Amer? ican. Adam and Eve.
