TEAYELINGIN THIBET

AN ENGLISH WOMAN'S REMARKABLE JOUHNEY IN THE COLD|R 3-1

She Penetntt^u Farther Into the

Mymteri-

odi Country T^itn Ever White Man Did. Barrier- Aln»o»t insurmountable Overcome by Her Daring.

Brief reports have been received "of the experience of a young English woman, a ntadonary, in the wilds of inhospitable Thibet. Now there Is at hand a story of her

NortS

the

Cbiha Daily

.adventure* from News. On May 5 Miss Annie Taylor, the explorer, passed through Shan-King on her way Lome, having completed" a year of wandering.

Miss Taylor is a medium sized woman of fjSaxon baild, with brilliant brown eyes, the fcoraplexion of a traveler, and the air of one |who has suffered much. Her bearing, her ibright eyes and animated expression show lier to be a woman of resource and imagination, and in seeing her lively manner one begins to understand the influence she was gable to exercise over the savage peoples "among whom she has been traveling alone with her life in her hand. She is full of enthusiasm for the civilization and conversion of the Thibetans, which she hopes to com ., monlcate to the people of England, and this, J§|w® h^ve no doubt. she will fully succeed in ipidoing. Miss Taylor is the daughter of a ^gentleman of means engaged in business in gSffLondon.

Her trip rivals in adventure, while in Sdifficultles overcome it excels the-travels jpitof wren Captain Bower and Mr RookhilL j|j§With the help of one Christian Thibetan whom »hu took with her from Darjeeling, she penetrated to within three days of

Lassa and returned alive to tell the tale. But for the treachery of a Mohammedan Chinese whom she engaged in Kun-Soo Igjthere seems little doubt that she wopld have arrived in Lhhjmi itself. Mips Taylor says that she first attempted to enter Thibet from the Indian side in 188?. Sikkim was not

English then, and orders were given that no one should «erve her. So, though she !§had plenty of money, she could buy nothing, and was often very hungry. Then she got fever and had no appetite. But after .^quinine her appetite returned, until she did ^not know which was worse, fever or hun^jpgar. Twice attempts were made to poison .-3lfcer, a*"! for 10 months she never saw another European. 1 'M Then she decided to try to get in from I jgfChina, and after spending about a year on

^Ijtthe frontier living very quietly, not going out, but constantly receiving Thibetans In her house, she received vadoug offers of

Hrconvoy* to X*assa. Before crossing the frontier, about which she had no trouble, sbo unhappily engaged a Chinaman whose .^Thibetan name was Noga. She had two stents, four servants and tried to get 10 really good horses by promising to give Wthem at the journey's end to Noga. One of her first serious adventures was being atgtacked by a band of brigands with white ur coats, leading each a spare horse, Two ere killed, eight wounded and five out of er horses killed, besides much property

Mt. But a lama called out to the robr»t "They are women I All womenl" so she was not pursued. Among Mongols and Thibetans it is esteemed a dreadful thing to strike a woman, so that all women go about unarmed, although every man carries weapons. As Miss Taylor says, by the Thibetan religion it Is forbidden to take life. Whether a ilea's, a sheep's or a man's.

On Sept. 28 the party crossed the Yellow river on yak skins blown out with hurdles 5 laid upon thom and drawn by horses. These irafts were awash all the time, and the water was Ice cold. They then found themselves in the Ofolok district, which is peofipled entirely by robbers. Their chieftain ffs a woman, and laws are strictly observed |ln her domains, and no bribes are taken.

The Goloks relate how five Russian# came to travel through the country, and they themselves went out to attack them 500 sttong, but could kill none, though 12 of themselves were killed.

Mlaa Taylor's hardships would require a volume for adequate description. For three days they lost their road. They had tu tent* That and every comfort had to be sold, her servant having taken everything be could from her lJefore he left. When ou Dee. 34 they found the road again, they hid away In the hills for the whole of Christmas day. During all thin part of the Journey her sufferings from the rarity of the air Rvere very great—palpitation*, gaspings and

Inability to digest their barley fowl. Noga (spread a report that Miss Taylor was traveling with a belt of gold and jewels around her waist. She had to travel by night, finding the cold almost unbearable. Tea froze as soon as poured out, and for three nights they wsre only too thankful to find refuge In aeave with harely room enough for them to lie down, half suffocated by smoke,so as to obtain a little warmth.

On Dec. 81 they crossed the Drlchu Into the Lassa district, but had to stop near Najuca, within three days! journey of Lassa, owing to Noga having gone before, revealing that it was a foreigner coining. IA military chief arrived, and there was a tort of trial.

In the end Miss Taylor convinced the oflleiaU of the truth of her story, saving the lives of her two Thibetan servants, who were accused of treacherously leading her Into Tibet, The chiefs told her that as far as they were concerned she could go on to LaMNt, but they would lose their lives if the did, and they gave her an official and nine soldiers to protect her against the Chinese servant, beaidea supplying her most prosdnjt necef^ities. Everywhere she found the Thibetans express liking for the English. They had been especially struck by the fact that the. prisoners in the SUkknu war mre kci« alive, well fed, and actually supplied with money to go home with.

On the return journey the horses, which la winter have to be fed with goats' flesh, tea, butter and tsheese, sufflred so from hanger that they were always tumbling down until Mlsa Taylor joined a yak oar* van. and 300 yafc* made a way for them through 30 feet of snow. On Jan. tt Miss Taylor left the Lhama district of Tibet, and on April 13 she reached Tachlenln after hardships such as it stems hardly credible a woman should hare surmounted.—San Francisco Chrontela,

A REDUCTION OF PRICES.

The AdTUtage That Accrue* to Manaiaetarer and Oser In tmr Prices. It Is time that in certain casesa sweeping redaction should be made. It is proper—it la needful to stimulate research and invention, that the man who makes a desirable macbinc should profit largely by it. True, our patent office confers no protection beyond the mere issuance of a paper, and any thief who wants to steal an idea can take it If lie has money enough to embroil the inventor in a suit, for the patent office, whose decision should be flnalrwlll do nothing to sustain him against his adversary, but even allowing this a patent usually insures success to an inventor who has made anything that the public really wants.

There are two considerations, however, in the singleness cf right that is implied fa a patent. One Is that the inventor shall profit by his work, and the otherla that the public shall likewise profit by it The ofie gains money the other pays it to him in exchange for his new convenience. If he does not Intend to use his right of sole manufacture, he might as well have kept still about his discovery and saved the money that the process of securing a patent must coat him. Formerly it seems to have been customary among inventors to satisfy themselves with a moderate return of prosperity for their work, bnt latterly they are disposed to regard the public as made for their enrichment. In most commercial or speculative essays it is thought to be well if again of 7 or 8 per cent a year Is realized, which would imply an increase of that degree in the selling price over the cost price of the articles or securities that are dealt In, but some of the manufacturers, as of typewriters and bicycles, appear to think that a profit anything short ot 220 per cent Is little enough on each machine.

A typewriter that costs $100 in the market is made for about $15. Add to this a liberal estimate for office rent, the employ of agents, advertising and so on, and it Is still difficult to see the justice of charging such a sum. Moreover, the machine Is made expensive to its owner after he gets it. Every rod, bolt, screw, wheel or what not that has to be replaced in the natural wear of the instrument is sold for twice the amount of money that would be charged for a similar bit of mechanism devoted to any other purpose. Even a bit of ribbon charged with ink costs $1. It is plain that thoee who make typewriters want to be rich and want to be rich quick. This is not the case alone with the makers of type* writers. It la whispered that bicycles that sell for $100 and more cost less than $26 to pnt together, and to look at them one would be inclined to admit that as quite possible. There are other mechanisms, used in certain trades and less known to the general public, where the profits are held to approach the Impossible.

The effect of the expiration of patents oo things for which there is a popular demand has been to cause an immediate "slump" in prices, because the ideas on which money has been made then become free to rivals. Pianos—though they are still exorbitantly high—organs, sewing machines and watches have thus come within the power of purchase by people of moderate means, and we believe In no case has disaster come to the manufacturers in consequence of this popularization of prices. The reduction of market value has been offset by an increase in the volume of material sold. •Brooklyn Eagle.

The Domestic Service Question. The problem of domestic service is on^ that is of the greatest interest to all housekeepers. On this Lucy 0. Lillle gives her views in Godey's. She regards the difficulties experienced in obtaining efficient and faithful household servants as due to a faulty eystem. At thepresent time servants are regarded too much as machines, and there is too little real sympathy between them and their employers. In former times, when servants were "help," the difficulties that are now encountered did not exist Mrs. LilSe writes: 'There was at!mo In which the mistress of the house was its caretaker as well. Her ^maids' or 'maidens' were as much her charge as her own children, and they in turn treated her gentlo rule as it deserved. To be in 'domestic service' was honorable, as it should be. Quitting a position for anj reason, man or woman carried with them the good will of the employer andgenerally speaking the friendship of the family."

That there will be any change for the better until old methods are reverted to Mrs. Ullie does not believe.

Keeping a Turtle.

Turtle* should be accommodated with wet and dry places for choice. Two very "cute" little tattles lived happily once in the basin of a greenhouse fountain with a rock work mound on which to rest. Thoy recognised persons, fed from the fingers and grew very tame. What boys call the box turtle, really a land tortoise, will bo or at least appear quite contented if he is. 'staked out" in the yard In this way, a hole carefully drilled in the edge of his shell and a lisht cord a yard or two long tied through it, with the other end fastened to a stake. The animal proceeds at one© to burrow a home for himself and there he will dwell in seaming satisfaction, while his keeper can coax him out occasionally by palling gently on the cord to look at him and see if he is doing well.—Olive Thome Miller £a Harper's B&ear.

Xegro Partington*.

Judge IX'iit of Newnan had some queer witnesses lu hi* court on Wednesday. They were negroes, and while endeavoring to attain the sublime height* of stilted phraseology abused the "king's English" in a frightful manner. did you go there?" asked the judge. 'Case I wanted to perpetruate de whole faxobde can©," was the answer. "Wby did you do so?" another man was asked. 'I done hit fer de reason dat I wt» egotistical to know 'sactl? how Itwrnt"

For two houw the courtroom was lurid with just such English, but the judge was helpless and had to take the answers to his questions as he could get tbem.—Atlanta Oottstltation.

A RUIN THAT RECALLS ADVENTURES OF PIONEER DAYS.

A Brush Covered Fort 111 by Veteran Texas Sanger Who In HI* Younger Days Heard an

Abont Colonel Bowie. r.« A J. Lowell of Utopia, Uvalde coun'r, la an old Texas ranger, and in a conw-tisi Mon with, a number of gentlemen at Galyeston the other day he gave an acconnt of his visit to the old-fort erected by the cek*batted James Bowie. "A short time ago," remarked Captain Lowell, "while crossing the divide between the and Dry Frio, about SO miles west of Utopia, I noticed on the side of-a hill a circular pile of rocks, resembling an old fortification. Being interested ijt such things I turned aside to investigate. On arriving at the place discovered tbpt the rocks had been placed there by the hand of man at an eariy day. The fort, which I will now call this rude structure, was built on the smith side of a hill, making complete drele, except a gap at the lower end, which had been left open as a place of entrance. Some of the stones were very large and wtmld have required the united efforts of adoeen men to put them in place,. The height of the rode wall when first built would have covered a man to the neck, and the place would have made an admirable spot to stand off a band of Indians, which I have no doubt it bad been built for. The next thing was to look around and see If I could discover anything by which I could determine what caused the presence of the men who built the fort, although|I had guessed they were gold hunters. W "I noticed the entrance to the |ortiflcation was on the lower ride towanrtne foot of the hill and. opposite a small cedar brake, as if men would come from that point in case of danger. As soon as I entered the cedar brake the problem was solved at once. I saw an Immense pile of earth banked up, and near it a shaft It was at the base of a hill, not a hundred yards from the fort, near the head of a ravine. It was an old mine, either of gold, silver or lead, and had been worked many years ago. The entrance to the mine was down a flight of 10 or 13 steps cut in the soil, which time and the action of the water pouring into it during heavy rains had not effaced.1 At the bottom of the steps the excavations extended west under the hill upon which the fort wns bttilt I did not penetrate it far, as I had no light On the mound of soil near the shaft grew cedar trees as large as a man's body, indicating a period prior to the advent of the Texas pioneers into these mountains, when the country was full of hostile Indians. The fort on the side of the hill commanded all approaches to the mine, "In surmising In regard to the people who formerly worked this mine I at first concluded that they were Spaniards or Mexicans, but finally connected the place with the celebrated Texan, Colonel James Bowie. I recollected hearing my father relate a circumstance which he heard from Colonel Bowie In Gonzales before the Texan revolution. Colonel Bowie said that on one occasion, while prospecting for gold or silver in the mountains west of San Antonio, he had sunk a shaft In search of silver. He had a force of 80 men with him, and anticipating an attack by the Indians fortified the camp by piling up large rocks. Their position commanded every approach to their camp and shaft, and also to a spring of wattr something over 100 yards distant "While engaged working this mine they were suddenly attacked one morning by a large body of Comanche Indians. Bowie and his men at once took refuge in the fortification, and the battle commenced with great fury. The Indians, however, were soon driven to cover in the ravines and behind the rocks by the deadly firs of Bowie's men. The fight lasted all day, each party firing us opportunity offered, during the day, 1 uvever, Bowie's men drank up all their water and began to suffer intensely with thirvX The Indians, however, from their posit in the rocks and gullies, commanded the spring, and it was almost certain death for any ono to venture. If the men all sallied from the fort, they were likely to be overwhelmed by the superior force of the saVages, but something had to be done. 'Now, Bowie owned a strong young negro named Jim, who was one of the party. "'Jim,' says Bowie, turning to the negro, 'won't you take the gourds and bring us some water from the spring?' 'No, sar, marse Jim couldn't think of such a thing. Them In juns is a-layin dar indat brush and rocks, and dey could gtt up and kill dis nigger befo' you could say "scat" twice, and befo* I could half fill dem gourds. Jfo, sab can't go/ "Bowie looked at the negro with his keen, piercing eye, and Bald: •Jim, which are you most afraid of—me or the Indians?' "Well, now,'replied Jim, *if you 'slst on me gwine of course I'll go if de boys Is bound to have some water befo' they can whip the Injuns and you 'alst on me &«gwine, why den I'll volunteer my Sarvice& Hunt up dem gourds. I'm off.' "Bowie now told Jhn he need not fear, as they could protect him with their rifles from the fort while be was getting the water. It appears that the Indians were not expecting any on® to attempt to come from the fort for wtiter and evidently did not see the negro—in fact, they bad to keep well hid themselves, as every exposure of their persons would bring a whizzing rifle ball from the bill. The negro advanced to the spring, filled the gourds and was starting back before the Indians discovered him. They now, however, set np a terrible yelling and commenced firing at him, which also drew the fire of the tot, as several of the Indians had shown themselves. The negro now commenced running as best he oould with several gourds dangling abont him, with a number©? Indiana in close pursuit* notwithsi&nding the fact that several of their number had fallen before the deadly aim of Bowie's rifles. One burly savage dropped bis empty gun, and drawing his tomahawk ran close to the negro. Intending to strike h5 down with that "A rifle cracked from the lower end of the indosmiw, and the Indian fell backward. "Jim aoon arrived, puffing and blowing, bringing the water gonrds with him."—St. Louis Globe-Dewocnt

AN OLD TEXAS FOET.

A Roman Custom In Ainsrinb Have people become too stupid to talk, too lazy to dance and too moral to resort to high piay? Are men and women so desdly dull that they no longer find each ether diverting? Isthe revival of a custom of, Rome's decadence the result of laziness on the part of hostesses, or of shortcomings on that of guests? View it in whatever light you may, you can hardly find it encouraging. People of the same class ought to have enough in common^ to keep each other mutually amused without having' to summon members of another class to their assistance. What is going to be done when the dancers and strong men and jugglers are exhausted? first rate specialty talent Is not so plentiful that itcan be permanently relied upon to keep society going.

Soon hostesses will have to put their programmes on thereverseof their invitations, so that guests may be secured against the einui of seeing the same entertainment for the third time in a week. Then the whole scheme will die & speedy death, asit will be clear that it hinders the -very end it was intended to promote. Amusing people professionally is a very delicate task, and one which had better be left to the experienced .manager.—Kate Field's Washington.

Use the Metric System In Bnxll Trade. An engineer resident In Brazil writing home states that foreign manufactured goods of all kinds are pushing us out of the market there, mainly owing to the fact that foreign manufacturers send out catalogues made out in the language of the country and all weights and measures in the metrical system. "Engineers here," he says, '"will not take the trouble to convert our hodgepodge mixture of weights and measures into tha metrical system. They do not understand them and have no basis of comparison with the Belgian and French goods. Brazilians say to m& 'We like your English goods very much. We believe them to be the best and probably the cheapest in the long run, but we find it impossible to estimate from your measures.'"—London News. yfj- ..

Work and Incisure Should Be Mated. Work is good. No one seriously doubts this truth. Adam may have doubted it when he first took spade in hand and Eve when she scoured her first pots and kettles, but in the course of a few thousand years we have learned to know and value this honest, troublesome, faithful and extremely exacting friend. But work is not the only good thing in the world. It is not a fetich to be adorned neither is It to be judged, like a sum in addition, by its outward, and immediate results. The god of labor does not abide exclusively in the rolling mil), the law courts or the cornfield. He has a twin sister whose name is leisure, and in her society he lingers now and then to the lasting gain of both.—Scribner's.

Value 6f Work Requiring little Thought The men who throw their whole heart and life into their ordinary occupations are apt to have a poorer reserve of vividness and insight for their human relations than those who feed their souls on life's varioas visions while they occupy their fingers with a useful and fruitful but unexacting toil. And even if the work they do be hardly

a kind in which they can take pride, may not that be all the better for them? After all, we are in many respects only parts of a great whole, and to feel that we are only parts of a great whole is very good as promoting humility, and because it does not stimulate our vanity and excite our self ap-proval.—-London Spectator.

Wliy He Is Called "Pony."

Many people are puzzled to account for the sobriquet of "Pony" applied to Mr. Moore of the famous minstrels. Here is his own account of It: "I commenced professional life in a circus at 12 years of age in New York as a pony driver. I used to drive four, six and eight, and I have driven as many as 20 ponies around the ring, and being very small for my age they called me Pony." ..

Suggestion For ti»e Istmdren.

An Explanation of an Author's Stories. When Rhoda Broughton was a young girl, she was very poor, moderately plain and altogether unfamous. At the beginning of her carccr (which was then so small a thing as to be barely perceptibk to the naked eye) she add a likewise young, likewise impoverished 8x.d likewise unknown cavalry officer fell madly in lovo with each other. "I think, my son, that it is time you were sent to India," sagely remarked the faUuir t. L:h youth on hearing the state of affairs. So the cavalry officer dutifully sailed for India, where In time he became a portly, liver troubled person of importance, while Rhoda remained in London to write stories of^poor, talented young girls whose yellow mustached lovers (all army men) invariably went off to India just at the most exciting and sentimental part of the narrative.—New York Times.

A Deathtrap For Flies.

"Come inside a minute," said a Fourth avenue dealer in pianos yesterday afternoon. "I have discovered the greatest flytrap on earth, and I want to show it to you." He led the way to an instrument at the &ar of the store, on which was a newspaper. On the paper had been placed a bunch of sweet pea-s. At least-a thousand dead flies were lying on the paper In the immediate vicinity or in the bunch of flowers. "I threw'these here by chance," he continued, "and in about 10 minutes I happened to notice that every fly that alighted on the flowers died in a very short time." Even as he spoke a number of insects which had stopped to suck the deadly sweet had toppled over dead. They alighted with their usual buzz, stopped momentarily, quivered in their legs, flapped their wings weakly several times and then gave up the ghost —Louisville Courier-Journal.
