In climate It varies euormously from the Ice and snow of the higher alti tudes to the damp, overpoweriug beat tn the deep valleys; and In vegetation from the magnificent grating grounds In the higher regions, covered with alpine flowers, surrounded by snow peaks, high pine forests, rhododen drons, magnolias, chestnuts, and oaks, to luxurlaul tropical palms, ferns, and bamboos.

Tbelr religion Is Buddhism and their language a dialect o f Tibetan. Tha population of Bhutan la about 400,000 The people are universally polite, civil, and clean. Both bouses and temples are clean and tidy. In many of tha houses the floors ara washed and polished, and the refreshments they hospitably press on visitors are aerved In spotlessly clean dishes. The clothes o f the higher officials are always Immaculats, tbelr brocades and silks fresh and unstained In any way, and even the coolies are a great contrast to the usual Tibetan or Dar jeeling coolie. The amount of labor expended on their Irrigation channels shows that they are an Industrious and Ingenious people. Their houses are all large and Substantially built In the courtyards one finds retain er* busily occupied In various trades, while the women o f the household split and weave and make clothes for the menfolk In addition to their ordinary duties. A great part o f the country la under cultivation, and they raise suf ficient crops to support the whole pop ulation, Including the lamas, who are a great burden to the state. Eggs Fed to Mulaa.

The religion o f Bhutan Id an offshoot o f Buddhism, aud waa Introduced Into these countries from Tibet by lamas from different monasteries who trav eled south and converted the people.

Tha composition used for the beat bells contains a food deal of silver, but they never make them of any great slse. the largest being probably 24 Inches to diameter and of about an equal height In Iroo work they are also good artificers, and many o f tbelr sword blades are of excellent manufacture end finish, and are still made from tlie charcoal Iron. The polish they put on them la wooderful. and the blades al most look as though they bad beeu silvered. Every house o f any Importance has large workrooms attached In which weaving la carried on. and the stuffs produced, consisting o f alike for the chiefs' drees, woolen and cotton goods, are excellent; and a good deal of em broidery la also done. B a s k e t W o r k a n d M a ttin g . Another industry In which the Uhu tanese excel Is basket work and One matting, made from spilt cane. Tbe baskets are beautifully woven o f very finely split cane aud some of the lengths are colored to form a pat tern.

They also make much larger and stronger baskets, very much In the shape of a mulepannler, and these are used In n similar way for pack animals. The mats are also very finely woven of tbe same material, with a certain amount of the spilt cane dyed to form patterns. They ara delightfully flue and soft, so flexible they can be rolled up Into quite a small apace and very durable, and ran be got In almost any size up to about 10 feet square, and even larger If they are required. Possibly the excellence of tha work produced In Bhutan owes much to the feudal system which still prevails thare.

They consist of four or flve chains of wrought Iron made of welded links, each 13 to 18 inches In length. The three lower chains are tightened up to one level, and on them a bam boo or plank roadway la placed. The remaining chains, hanging higher up and further apart, act as side sup ports, and between them and the road way there la generally a latticework of bamboo, or sometime* grass. In order that animals crossing may not put their legs over the side. The road way Is never more than three or four feet wide.
