IN 81'ITE of peuetrutlon by an oc
coslouul explorur, Tllt Is still al
most aa little known to the world
as In Marco I'olo's day, OUU years
ago. Tractlcally nothing Is known,
even, of the origin and ancestry of
the Tibetans This Is probably due
lu large part to the rigid exclusion of
men of science end other traveler.
The Tibetans themwlves dismiss the
subject with hoilcs fulry tales and
legenda. One of these has It that the
progenitors of the race were "I she
devil of the Himalayas" aud an ape
from the plains of Illudustan.
To the lay obrerver there Is no re
semblance wliutever between the
Tllxttuns and the Chlueae, nor era
they similar to I be Mulayans. In fea
tures and characteristics they resem
ble the American Indium more neurly,
perhaps, than any other distinct type,
although In color and other character
InIIo features there la an Indication
that they may have sprung from the
original Mongol people.
Outside the few towns and the many
monasteries, the people of Tlbot may
be divided Into tho nomad herders of
the uplands, and the settled farmers
of the valleys. The nomads live
throughout the aeneous In their yak
hslr tents, tending their herds of yaks
great awkward, long haired, cowlike
creatures.
The valley folks build thick, mud
walled bouses with flut roof. Their
furtu opcrailoi are carried on under
conditions that a well-equipped Amer
ican furuier would consider heavy
handicap. The plos used are made
entirely of wood, with a single han
dle. They bsve been developed be
yond the moat primitive l.vpcs of
wooden pljws, however, having re
movable dl.'glng parts which are re
placed when woru or broken.
Clothes Do Not Make the Man.
It Is by no means tuny to Judge the
financial stutus of a Tllwtuu by the
kind of clothe he wears. One may
eee men dn-cd In rough aheepskiu,
with their hair hanging In tangles
down their backs aud their appear
auce ludicatlng that they had never
had l- th In their lives, bargnln for
something worth hundreds of dollars.
If such an Individual decides to pur
chase the article, he will pull out of
hie dirty gown a leather bag of gold
duct and unconcernedly weigh out a
sutllclelil quantity of the shining pow

chasers will prohuhly use In their
transactions the ruees of Chinese
mlntiige, which constitute the moit
generally employ! medium of ex
change In Tibet. Chinese brick tea,
like suit, Is also used In aouie sections
In place of money.
The outstanding marriage curtora In
Tibet la polyandry, under which a
woman baa several husbands, usually
brothers. Uudrr the usual arrnugo
ment, one husband will take care of
the home In the valley, If there U
one ; another will be In charge of the
yake or sheep In the uplands; third
will be the trader, taking enre of the
caravan, while others will be assigned
peciul duties.
Wouiun, on the whole, occupies a
better position In Tibet than In a
greut many of the eastern countries.

and usually all transactions of a busi

must have her sanction. Nor Is she

Tlltft Ills chief governmental assist

The lamas, even the ordinary
monks, occupy privileged poalUon,
conrtllutlng In effect a class to them
selves. Next In rank to the ruling lamas are
the lay ofllcluls of the government
The next lower step In social gra
dation leads to the headmen of the vil
lages, usually the wealthiest residents
of the localities Next In order are
the wealthy villagers not headmen,
and below these come the ordinary
folk. At the bottom of the social lad-dt-r
are the servants and slaves of the
well to-do.
In education the Tibetans are very
backward, there being nothing In the
country In the nature of public In
structlon. A few of the more wealthy
families hire a priest te come Into
their homes to teach their eons.

villagers and nomads may be called

residents of the lamaseries and tha

tending their herds and flocks.
Metal Work and Book Making.
Borne mining la carried on by the
Tibetans of the eastern border r";lon,
but the Industry is of small propor
tions. The products mined Include
lead, gold, and Iron. Iron la used for
s woids, some of the most elaborately
ornamented commanding a high price.

crude facilities, the monks are unable
to gild the Idols $ It would be done
by a modern Western process, but
must apply a rather heavy coat of

This success is not surprising. Whippet Fours
