Here and there, along life's busy and diversified pathways, curious reasons for curious moods in man ate some times encountered, says the Detroit Free Tress. "Ever since I've begun to get well," said a pale-looking gentleman who was strolling along a sunny sidewalk with a comrade, "I've had the blues, now and then. NaturnL'y, I'm very glad I'm alive; but - there are clrcumntance which rather make me feel myself a humbug an out-and-out humbug. It'e this way, you aee.

For centuries Tibet has been almost a sealed book to tire rest of the world, and tho result of the expedition under Col. YouiiKhusbond, which the Hrltlsh have sent Into the region, will be watched with Interest The high pilonts, or lamas, of Tibet have ever denounced the foreigner as an Incar nated devil, and they preach that so long as Tibet remains Isolated from the rout of the universe, so long shall she be great. A few missionaries and ex plorers have wandered across the cor ners of this great tableland, clambered up some of Its snow-dad mountains, and visited a few of Its stone cities; yet the greater part of Its eOO,(X(0 A MOL'lf TED LAMA. square miles, an area equal to Ger many, France and Italy combined, Is still unknown to the outside world. On the maps of the world there la no oth er such white patch as this In the cen ter of Asia. From the account of travelers Tibet would seem to be a land where religion Is supreme. The people obey their priests with almost slavish obedience, and accept the niot marvelous teach inn with utter credulity. The lamas possess most of the wealth of the coun try, and consequently they have rea son to fear the foreigner and the In trusion of the explorer. Colonel Younghusband's punitive ex pedition Into Tibet was undertaken In retaliation for the graud lama'a curt 'At . GltAXD LAMA'S refusal to treat with the mission w-nt by the Prltlsh to discuss the Tibetans' non-observance of trade treaties. It may mean the complete unveiling of the mysteries that enshroud this Asia tic country which has so resolutely pursued a policy of shutting Ita doors to foreigners, and has since the expul sion of the Jesuit missionaries early In the nineteenth century been visited by but a scant handful of daring ex plorers. Of these but four or live suc ceeded In penetrating to the capital, the sacred city of Lassa, vbore the grand lama dreams bis life away In hla nlue-story palace. The hostility of the natives Is by no means the only thing thtit prevents ex plorers from penetrating far Into Tibet. The country, a tableland of 1.1,000 to J0.O00 feet above sea level, wild, moun tainous and devoid of roads, Is by na ture hilly ae Inhospitable as Siberia. Outside of the nionanterles, or lamas eries, as they are called, there are no houses, mud hovels serving to accom modate the natives. This, however, does uot apply to Lassa Itself, which, as the few photographs obtained show, Is a well laid out city, picturesquely lo cated on the southern slope of a moun tain, with the palace of the grand lama towering atvove the other buildings. The graud In 111a. or, rather, the dalal lama for there are two grand lamas la not only the chief personage In Tibet, but la acknowledged aa the Iwad of the Iluildhtst church throughout Tibet, Mongolia and China. From the little that tuts been w ritten about him It ap pears that, as a rule, the dalal lama, who Is elected when a child, dies young, and It has been hinted that the length of his days depends upon the amount of trouble he gives the gyalpo, the temporal ruler of Laswa. Tho lamas uomlnute tbe country. Their Influence can be easily undtr stood v. hen It Is said that fully one sixth of the population are numbered In their order. The lamaseries dot the mountain aides like fort rectos, and the people willingly lulxr to support their spiritual guides, who do not lose an opportunity to terrorize them. One thing that contributes to keep thesn priests In power Is tho fact that tho people believe them to pimxess god like powers, and womhTful are the tnlea travelers tell of remarkable exhl billons going to support this belief, Human sacrifices sre also said to be a component part of the religion of the country, which Is described as being but a veneer of nuddhlsnt over a body of savage and uncouth snpratltlon. As may be Imagined, the spiritual, aes thetic and moral aides of the people of Tibet are In a very primitive condition. In the country districts the principal occupations sre agriculture and tattle raising. IUrr of all -atn.4wry cheap In Tibet, the men being paid but 2 or 8 cents a day, while the women generally receive but their board and lodging. Where the country Is not a barren waste the principal products are wheat, barley, peas and beans, the live stock raised Including horse. aes, mules, cattle, eheep and yaks. As In everything else, primitive methods pre vail, and prosperity ia constantly ab sent. The population, which has at times been estimated at over 80,WjO,XX, whereas a tenth of that figure would probnbly be nearer the mark. Is rap idly on the decrease on account of the prevalence of disease, the chief III be ing smallpox. Dirt abounds every where, a explorers soon discover to their great disgust. The reason for this state of affairs Is not hard to seek, since dirt Is considered sacred, and washing Is religiously tabooed. Religion amounts to a passion with lamas and laymen alike, but It is in many ways a religion of but formal ob servance. Prayers are regarded as of great potency, and the lamas have de vised an Ingenious method of saying a Kreat many prayers In a short space of time. A small, hollow cylinder Is fixed on an axle, one end of which extends beyond the cylinder to serve for a handle. In this "praying wheel," as It Is called, are deposited small slips of paper on which have been written prayers composed by the lamas. The wheel Is then revolved rapidly, the the ory being that the devotees will thus attain the felicity of Nirvana without having to pass through many interme diate stages of reincarnation. The prayer wheels, it might be remarked, also serve to wreak vengeance on an enemy, the person injured stealing his enemy's prayer wheel and revolving it In the wrong direction lu the belief that this will certainly assure an un happy hereafter for the luckless own er. This alone Is sufficient to convince the observer of the state of spiritual degradation Into which the people are plunged. Tibet as at present constituted Is clearly no place for white men, nor can It be said to offer many advantages under a high state of civilization. In addition to Its topographical shortcom ings, of which mention has already been made, climate plays no small part ... r ;7 ,v-L- - ' vr-"' rALACB LASS A. in making It undesirable for purposes of settlement. August, September, Oc- toler and November are the only months which can be considered "dry." rain or snow contributing to render the remaining months unpleasant. Accord ing to Zoublkov, the average annual temperature Is 42 degrees for morning, 67 for noon and 60 for night, a varia bility tliat, to ray the least, cannot be conducive to comfort. A not unnatural result of the condi tions which have so effectually barred communication between Tibet and the outside world Is the maintenance of a very small army. It Is said that there are not more than 4,000 soldiers In all the dalal lama's domains, and these are very poorly equipped and disciplined. As a consequence robbery and outrage are prevalent throughout Tibet. The lamas. It should be said, control the administration of Justice as well as the dispensation of religious Instruction, and the courts are more remarkable for their superstition than for their law. Crude and barbaric methods prevail of a nature that would disgrace even the Middle Age, drowning, torture and flogging are common penalties for slight offenses. Audaclona Morgan.

GORDON M'KAY. Death of the Man Who Rerolntionlzed the 8b oe ma kin 2 Indnatry. Cordon McKay, whose death oc curred recently at bis cottage in fash ionable Newport, was a notable figure In tbe social and business world. Although starting In life compara tively poor, he ac cumulated millions through his inven tive genius. Mc Kay was born in Plttsfleld, Mass., In 1821, and on the death of bis father oobdon u'kay. in 1833, began to study for the career of a civil en gineer. When 21 years old he had a machine shop In his native town. He studied machinery and his opportunity came when the shoe stitching machine. Invented by L. It. Blake, proved to be an utter failure. He bought the patent outright and perfected a machine which has revolutionized the shoemak ing industry. This machine did away with the little cobbler shops, with their pegs and wax ends, and opened up big factories. In a few years every man, woman and child in America, who wore shoes, paid tribute to him, and McKay gained millions. McKay's partner was Robert H. Mathes, a practical man of Inventive genius. When the war broke out in ! 1861 they offered to the government, something unheard of, machine made shoes for the army. In less than ten years It is estimated that more than 10,000.000 pairs of boots and shoes In America had paid royalty to McKay fiW1 tti0.VttyJtr.m UJLak fnnnmtl tlon, and In a series of lawsuits de feated all rivals, established his patents and became the central power In one of the greatest monopolies. Gordon McKay married Miss Minnie Treat, of Cambridge, many years younger than himself. They lived to gether only a few years. There were two eons, who have always been with their mother. Mrs. KcKay finally se cured a divorce, and became the wife of Adolph A. von Bruening. an at tache of the German embassy at Washington, and now charge d'affaires of the Grman legation to the Sultan of Morocco. McKay, who had always been attached to his wife, sent her Jewels and other gifts on her wedding day, and, it Is said, gave her a check for $100,000. The Kaiser became angered at such attention, and the young man was In the background for seTtral years. Then, through family Influence In Germany, he was restored to favor, after having returned to Mr. McKay the money given bla wife. Mr. McKay did much good with his money. He educated a number of young women abroad In music, gave generously to Harvard college and foundca a training college in Rhodo Island for negroes, which college bears the name of the McKay Institute. He was a good violinist and left a large collection of musical Instruments. It Is understood that tbe greater part of his estate will go to Harvard Univer sity, including bla large library. His next to kin are Mrs. Dexter and Miss Catherine Dexter, of Boston.
