When the old-clothes mnn dropped Into the kitchen of n South Side resi dence the other day he saw the man of the house hugging the kitchen range, with a woolen shawl tied over his head. After .the dealer had got through haggling with tho mistress of the house as to the price to be paid for certain cast-off articles of apparel, u proceeding punctuated by frequent grontiB from the region of the stove, he Jerked his head toward that quar ter and-Inquired: "Whnt's the matter with him? Ia he cold?" "lie's got the toothache, and he has been suffering tortures nil nlgbt with it," answered tho wlfo of the sufferer. "Is that all?" said the old-clothes man. "1 thought maybe ho was cold." "I only wish you had It," snarled the sufferer. "If you had you'd be glad to be cold." This sally made the old-clothes man laugh. "A toochacho ain't nothlu'," he said. "I can cure a toothache In a minute If tho tooth nln't ulcerated." "Cure this ono and I'll give you a suit of clothes." nuswered the man. The old-clothes man asked for an old Iron spoon" and some salt. Thcso being provided, he filled tho spoon with snlt and laid tho spoon on the glowing couIb In the range. When the salt was as hot as It could get ho poured It on a clean sheet of pnper, and with a brond-hladcd knife pulver ized It Into a line powder. "Snuff some of this up your nose." he snld, offering tho paper to tho suf ferer. "When you wiuit to spit your toothnchc will ho gone." It wns only a moment until the suf ferer sneezed and then expectorated. "By J6ve, but It's gone!" he exclaim ed, as he tore tho shawl from his head and then danced a Jig In his Joy. "That's the greatest over," he said. "How In the world did you do It?" "I dun know. Somo folks say there's 11 chemical action comes from the Iron spoon, hot snlt, nud scorched paper. But when It goen round your hopper and lilts the right nerve It stops the ache.

Statute providing that no person ahnll engage In the business of guiding n t Inland fishing or forest bunting wun out registration and payment of 'a feo of $1 nnd receiving a certificate Is up held In State vs. Snowman (Mo.), 00 u It. A. S4I, ngahiHt the contention Hint It Is a deprivation of tho right to en gage In a lawful business, since the (IhIi and gamo belong to the people, who, through their representatives, may per mit or prohibit their taking. In an action for divorce by the hus band on the ground of oxtrcmo cruelty of bis wife, tho Supremo Court of Mich Ignn, In the case of Murnan vs. Muraan (87 N. W. Uep.. 103l. holds that ex trcmo cruelty Is not established by proof that after several years of married life, on the death of their only child, the wife refused longer to live with her husband, declared she did not love him, nnd went to live with her mother. The court held thnt theso nets constituted desertion, but not extreme cruelty. A father wished to mnke a gift to his son of $1,000, nud drew his check for thnt amount and gave It to his son, but requested him not to present tho check for payment until after his (the fath er's) death. A year after tho father died, nnd the next day the son present, ed the check for payment nnd the hank paid It. The executors of tho deceased thereupon brought an action against tho bank to recover tho $1,000 so paid, on the ground that the giving of the check by tho father to the son under the above circumstances did not consti tute an executed gift, but wns merely a promise to give because tho father re tit I ned the power to revoke It by draw. Ing out the money before tho presenta tion of the check, and because the money could not have been levied upon before such presentation. But the Su preme Court of California denied this contention nnd held that the delivery of the check by the father to his son gave the latter such Immediate posses sion nnd control of the thing Intended to he given as constituted a completed and perfected gift.

Kvery foot of Af rica haa been explored and thnt con tinent Is now gridlroned with railroads. The railroad also runs through the whole length of Northern Asln. But lu the heart of Asia Is ono great mysteri ous, scml-savage land, guarded by stu pendous mountains, from which the bmovatlng whlto mau Is fiercely ex cluded. That la Tibet. It seems as If all the strangest and most fantastic customs on earth had taken rcfugo lu this last retreat, for there ono woman haa many husbands, the ruler Is a child who dies before he comes of age, the Inhabitants wash themselves with but ter and pray by machinery. The attempts of tho Tibetan govern ment to keep foreigners absolutely be yond the borders of Tibet have not been entirely successful, but thoy hnvo tucceeded lu keeping them away from the sacred white city of Lhasa, In the heart of the luud. That Is tha holy of holies, tho mystery of myster ies, whero the Grand Dalai Lama dreams awuy his sacred, but brief ex istence. Explorers from time to time cross the wild mountain borders, hut they must nUvanco amid great natural dllllcultles and lu face of 11 murderous population. The rtilers at Lhasa hear of their coming months before they cnu reach the capital, and can make amnio nrrnngements for murdering them. When Henry Savage I.undor crossed the frontier In nu attempt to reach Lhasa, he was seized, tortured and barely escaped with his life. Mr. Will iam Woodvlllo Hockhlll, tho distin guished dlplomnt, lately special Amer ican envoy In China, has explored East ern Tibet and written tho most valua ble modern account" of tho pcoplo and their customs. He did not try to reach Lhasa. '11 bet lies between India, Asiatic Russia and China. On tliu southern aide are the Himalaya Mountnlus, the highest In the world, and the whole of Tibet consists af mountainous table land, rising 20,000 feet and moro nhovo the sen laud, Tho Inhabitants die of bilious fever when taken to a normal level. On tho northern or Russian side uro great deserts. The least explored part of Chltia Ilea on the remaining aide. Tibet has an nhsoluto religious govern ment or theocracy. The head of It Is the Grand or Dalai Lama at Lhasa, who Ih supposed to bo an tncnrnntlon of Buddha, hut the real ruler Is a net-son. poral chief. He, too, Is a lama, Yearn ago the bunas were not so anx ious about excluding foreigners from their laud as now, probably becuuxo they believed tho visitors would rover enco their grcntuosn. It Is one hundred and forty-ono years since tho Jesuit priests were expelled from Tibet, but even for ninny years after that It was not difficult for a foreigner observing the Buddhist religion to enter tho couti try. In 1811 nu Englishman named Manning entered Lhasa disguised as a lamn, and lu 184(1 tho French priests, Fathers Hue and Gnbet, did tho same thing. Itut alnce then no whl.to man haa seen the sacred city. Kvery ono attempting to approach has been killed. This fierce cxcluslveness has natural ly stirred civilized' curiosity to tho ut termost and much Information has hoen gathered from Asiatic Buddhists con tenting the Sacred City. This curiosity has now received an unusual gratifica tion lu a remarkable series of photo graphs of the Holy City and Its most holy places. Theso were all obtained by Asiatics. One of them wns a Kal muk chief named Ovche Novzounof, a Russian subject, nnd tho other n mem ber of the Nepal Embassy to China. Nepal Is a native stnto between India and Tibet Theae photographs con firm the most extraordinary state ments that have been mndo concerning the place. The Potala or Grand Lama's abode Is situated on a steep rock, about 1,600 feet high, and rises nlno tall atorlea above that Into tho sky. The lower atorlea are occupied by the Gyalpo and hundreds of Lamas, while tho Grand Lama la hidden away at the top. The Grand Lama, who la regarded as a reincarnation of Buddha, la usually chosen at the age of five or alx. Under the Influence of the Gyalpo he dies of some mysterious malady at the age of fifteen or sixteen. His spirit then passes into another child. Fathers Hue and Gabet are the only white men who have left a description of the en thronement of a new Grand Lama. When one dlea the Tibetans watch for a rainbow, and when this appears It la a algn of aid from Huudlia. The lamas comeout In procession and their oldest member says to them: "Your Grand Lama haa reappeared In Tibet at such a distance from your Lamasery. You will find him In such a family." Tho lamas go to the place named and there they find a child who always proves to be the .true reincarnated Grand Lama. Doubtless all this busi ness la arranged by the crafty Gya po and lila assistants. , The poor little Grand Lama la conducted lu triumph to the great palace outside Lhasa. There be la hidden in the top of a nine-1 story palace and never cornea forth ngntn. A bell announces to tho world thnt tho Grand Lamn Is Installed In the ancred chamber. This enthronement Is accompanied by cercmonlea ao strnngo nnd elaborate that It would re quire volumes to describe them. Each one of the nine stories la tho sceno of some symbolical nnd mysterious per formance. T;ho Tibetans Bay that tho wealth of tho Grand Lnma In Potala Is ten times that of tho rest of tho world put together. Outsldo Lhasa Is the sacred grazing ground, whero 300 brood mares feed, from whoso milk n fermented liquor la prepared for tho Grand Lamn. A great temple of Lhasa contains the greatest Imago In the world, called tho Jo-Vo, representing Buddha. It Is 120 feet high, rises up through four stories and la covered with Jewels. About one-third of the population of Tibet consists of lamas, who dwell In lamaseries, or Buddhist monasteries. They possess practically all the wealth of the country nud rulo It absolutely. Tho lamaseries arc situated In tho most fnntantlc places, some on tho tops of mountains, others on tho sides of them, hanging over precipices so that ono ran only reach them by ropes. The no ble philosophy of Buddhism Is nlmost entirely lost among tho degrading su perstitions and mummeries of theso lamas. Many of them do not know ita elementary principles. Tho lamas of a certain superior order have the strange custom of manifest ing their power to dlo nnd como bnck to lie. Thero Is another equally Inter esting class of lamas known as Skoo shoks, These are men who have at tained such n pitch of virtue that thoy are fitted to attain Nirvana, tho Inst reward of the Buddhist religion. But, Instead of entering Nirvana, the Skoo-, shoks consent to bo reincarnated and live ngalu for tho good of their fellow men. When nu old Skooshok Is dying In the llesh, a newly born child Is se lected and the sacred one trnnsfcro his spirit to this child. Tho new Skooshok Is then carried away to a Gompn, or re treat, whero he dreams away his life In meditation. It Is considered prob nblo thnt tho Mulmtmns, about whom considerable has been heard In Europo nud America, aro really Skooshoks. It la well known that Buddhists aro In tho habit of praying with the aid of 11 wheel, hut tho extent to which tho system Is cnrrled In Tibet Is Impres sive Tho Buddhist, It should be re membered, ban to pass through a long scries of Incarnations In various nnlmnl forma until he hnn so purged himself of sin that he Is fit to cuter Into Nir vana. Tha process may ho accelerated by pr.iyer,- and for convenience the the prayer Is written nnd fastened on a wheel, which tho devotee turns. In Tibet .t devout and prospcrouo man hns a collection of prayer wheels driven by wind and water power. In thla way he may In a few years, make progress which would otherwise occupy millions of years of reincarnation. 1 KIplInK aa a Guide Hook.

The totnl number of vessels of over 100 registered tons built during 11)00 Is given In German returns ns 310 nail ing vessels nnd 000 steamships, with a total tonnage of 2.208,038 tons. Of this number, 20 sailing vessels nnd 70 steamships, with n tonnage of 211,830 tons, were built by Germany. The following tnble gives the relative position of the shipbuilding countries for 1000, number of ships and regis tered tons: England (exclusive of col onies) 008 1,471.475 America 107 2117.1131 Hermany DO 211.850 France OS 101.318 Italy 37 r4.382 According to these figures 10 per cent of the whole fnlls to Germany. During the six months ended Dec. 31, 1001, there were built In the United Stntes nnd officially numbered by' the bureau of navigation 717 rigged ves sels of 154,073 gross tons, compared vlth COS rigged vessels of 170,220 gross tons for the corresponding six months of 1000. Cnnnl boats nnd unrigged barges are not Included. The principal decline, 10,732 tons, la on the Atlnntlc seaboard, nnd Is attrib utable to work on sevcrnl large ocean steamers, which will bo completed dur ing the coming six mouths. Included In the six months' figures are thirty eight vessels, each over 1,000 tons nnd aggregating 103,832 tons. Of these fourteen steel steamers, aggregating C2.310 tons, were built on tho great lakes.

The diamond, although not so -rare or precious as the ruby, holds the first placo as favorite among precious stones with nlmost every one. Tho high estimation In which It Is held Is duo to Its remarkable hardness, rarity, and brilliancy. In spite of Its beauty, It merely consists of carbon a simple elementary substance, nud In Its great est beauty. Although diamonds nro usually colorless and clear, llko water, occasionally from somo slight foreign luter-mlxture they nro white, gray, yellow, green, brown, nnd moro rarely orange, red, blue or black. Tho hard ness of the gem ns everybody kuowa renders It Incapable of being scratch ed by any other substance, and In cut ting nud polishing diamonds dlnmnnd dust Is employed. The nrt of cutting diamonds, although long practiced In India nnd China, wiih not known In Europo until after tho middle of tho fifteenth century. Poor Aotrcnion' Coniiiiiioi.
