All the trade at Manchuria and Mongolia is carried on camels. They bring coal skins and bean cake from the north down through the great wall into China, and carry brick tea and all kinds of merchandise back. I have seen 500 camels in a single caravan slowly moving along in singla file over the couniry. I Lave traveled for miles side by side with these camels, talking through an interpreter with the copper-taced men and women who rode them, and I have again and agaln been threatened by the fercer of the leaders as passed them on my way througn the couutry.

(Copyrighted, 1895, by Frank G. Carpenter.) The settlement of the war between China and Japan is likely to result in a decided change in the geography of Asia. So far neither England nor Russia has made any open claims as to what they want of China, but the ports of Asia are full of all sorts of rumors. It is well known that the Russlans are making their surveys of the harbors on the east coast of Corea, with an idea of mak- ing one of them the terminus of the Trans- Siberian road, and the latest inside news is that the English have offered the Chinese a large sum of money in exchange for the Island of Formosa. China can hardly hope to raise money from her own people without a revolution and the consequent establish- ment of a new government.

There are 100 miles north of Peking, I passed over the road which has formed the leading highway between Manchuria and Mongolia for centu- ries. It is filled with ragged granite rock and Is terribly hard on the tender-footed camels. Some of the beasts I saw had their feet worn to shreds and some of them limped terribly. The Mongols let them go as long as they can, and when their feet become raw they will patch them. ~They do this by throwing the animal on its side and tylng its feet together, They next bind his head back 0 his hump and theu clean out the wound and take @ plece of raw cowhide from a froshly killed veef and sew it to the skia of hundreds of | The | In going through the Nankow pass, about | | the foot. Whether the skin grows on or not | T do not know, but the camel soon recovers | and builds up a mew foot under the hide. These camels are fastened together in a cara- van in a curious way. A stick is run through their noses, and one end of this has a knob so large that it cannot be pulled through. To the other end of the stick a rope is tied, and this ropé is tied to the saddle or pack of tho camel in front, and thus the whole cara- van is fastened together, as it were, with clothes pins and clothes lines. It is impossible to estimate the number of these camels that are in use. They are continually marching through Peking. At certain times of the year they fill the roads leading into Mongolia like fences, and you see them everywhere on thelr low, measured trot, moving across the country. A DIRTY RACE. The Mongols are perhaps as dirty as any other people in the world. Those whom 1 saw wero greasy and filthy, both as to their clothes and their persons. I am told they never wash tffeir bodies, and seldom their faces and hands. The poorer classes dress in rags, but the richer wear costly garments lined with the finest lambekin. I have a plcture of a Mongolian princess who was at Peking a year or so ago. Her head was framed in “silver beads, and she had long tassels of silver hanging down from her black fur cap. Her hair was done up in two long braids, which were pulled over the breast. These braids are often smeared with glue, which makes the hair shine and’ keeps it in place. The girl was very beautiful and some of the vounger girls are by no means bad looking. hey fade soon, however, and the older women whom I saw made me think of our Indian squaws. They have no night clothes and they sleep in the same garments which they use during the day. They have no such things as stoves. A fire is built inside their tent’ and the smoke gock out at. the roof. The tents are made of skin and some- times of cloth. They are circular in shupe, and the people huddle up in them and sit and sleep where they can. BRICK TEA AND POWDERED MU o cifef business of the Tartars is ling, and they have large flocks . These sheep have fat tails, saw some tails which welghed, I was told, from thirty to forty pounds. When & heep is very fat it is sometimes necessary (o tie a little sled under its fall in order that it may not impede him In traveling over the ground. This Mongolian mutton. i as good as any you will find in the world, and these fat talls are especially delicious. The Mongols use the fat in making brick tea soup. They mash up little bricks of tea, and when the water is boiling they put in some of this mutton fat and milk and eat the whole as a soup. The bricks In which the tea is made are about ten inchies square. seven Inches wide and three inches thick. They look like chocolate and are sometimes made in smaller - sizes. In ad- dition to this, they eat buttermilk, curds and whey. They are very fond of intoxi- cating liquors, and they have a beer made of mare's milk upon which they keep them- selves about half drunk. Their mutton is frozen at the beginning of winter, and the weather 1s 80 cold that it will Keep until spring. It is sald in Thibet that mutton can be kept for years. The air is very dry {and very cold, and after a few days the flesh becomes so dry that it can be pow dered with the hand and be stored away like flour. The Thibetans use this mutton without cooking, and it fs said not to need salt. [ON. e of and 1 A NATION OF BUDDHISTS, The Mongols are more religious than Chinese. They may be called almost tion of Buddhists, though Mohammedans among them. They have a | number of temples inside of Peking, and | there are about 1,500 of these people v | live in the Chinese capital. The biggest monastery in Peking is owned by the Mon gols and the Thibetans. It has hundreds of | priests, and they are the most intolerant and superstitious of their kind, Forelgners are by | no means safe in going through it. They are liable to be mobbed, and it 1s only by briblug the a na there ere a few and fighting that on: can get his way out There are three living Buddhas in the world, One of these s 0 Lhasss, another 1s some- where in Mongolia, and the other s in Pe- king. I became indirectly acquainted with the brother of the living: Buddha at Peking, and I was told that tpis Buddha was fond of cigars and liquors, and that he now and then went about Incog., like -Haroun Alraschid. There are numerous temples scattered over Mongolia, and Thibet is sald to be a country of temples. I was within ninety miles of Thibet during my stay in_ Darjiling, in the Himalaya mountains, and the Thibetans whom I saw both here and in Peking were about the same as the Mongols. I am told that the people of both countries do little but swing prayer wheels, drink whisky and keep themselves dirty. I heard great stories about their monasteries and their temples. Some of the Thibetan towns are a mere col- lection of temples, and some of their monas- teries have copper roofs plated with gold. Lhassa, the Thibetan capital, has about 15,000 people, and the most of these are priests, The Chinese bulldoze the Thibetans and the Mongolians, and they bluff, them into a sort of dependence upon them. The Thibetans and Mongolian priests whoth I saw in Thibet were dressed in bright yeflow gowns. They were, as a rule, - broad-shouldered, thick- nosed, high-cheek-boned fellows, with small, twinkling black eyes. They are shrouded in superstition and they are fgnorant in the ex- treme. | ONE WIFE, FOUR HUSBANDS. The Mongols have but 'one wife, though the richer of them often have concubines. It is far different in Thibet, ts 1 learned from the famous traveler, Mis. Isabella op. Mrs. Bishop wenl out to Asia on ame ship with me lgst year. She ex- pected to travel in Corea,|and she had just returned from a trip amopg the Thibetans I talked with her for some time about the custom of polyandry. It feems that there is a scarcity of women, and the average fe male has from four to sik husbands. If a ries, his wife bechm he common of his brothers, fnd though he is the chief husband, she if the wife of the whole lot. The woman s the family. She takes charge of the , and she {s practically the governor of the establish- ment, It is only a very rich man who is able to have a wife to himself, and fathers sell their daughters to the highest bidders. The children are regarded as® belonging (o the woman, and the fathers can lay no claim to them. Mrs. Bishop sail that the women seem to be satisfied with lthe situation, and that they rather pity thefr sisters in other parts of the world who dan have only one husband. HOW MONGOLIA I8 GOVERNED The Mongolians are divided up Into tribes, and they are governed from Peking. The emperor appoints governory general, and all of the tributary provincgs of China have military governors, and thare are Chinese sol- diers to enforce their edicts. As a rule, how- ever, the people are oppregsad in every pos sible way. The government is corrupt, and the man who can pay the most cap do as he pleases. Manchuria is ryled by military boards. Some parts of Méngolia have tneir own officials, under the government at Pe- King tary governor, and In outer Mongolia there is a great llama, much like the one at Thibet, who is a sort of Yving Buddha, and who rules the country. He 18 said to be very rich. His capital i§~known as Urgs, and it is the biggest city in MongoMa. It contains about 30,000 people, and thé most of these are priests. The big llama, or living Buddha, is said to have 160,000 slaves, and he has quite an imposing palace. The people reverence him and the Chinese rule this part of the country through him. Itis much the same in Thibet, and the government i a combination of religious corruption and Chimese despotism. Inner Mongolia has a different government and, in fact, the whole of the tributary pro- vinces of China are managed in a way which is practically unknown to the world. The seitlement of the present trouble will prob- ably lead to their exploration, and the world will, for the first time in its bistory, have the whole of Asia open to scientific investiga- tion, —————— Bird fu! mone The province of Ii {8 ruled by a mill-, | [ [ | | | parlor gatherings are as bad as ward meet- ings.

It will be always no- ticed, however, that the ro; ts confine themselves to tales about the missionar and vice versa. A vivid imagination may be a good thing for a poet or novelist, but when drawn on too freely by a social gossip will prove disastrous to the reputation of a com- munity. LOOKING TO THE Martial law Is apt to last several weeks longer. There are many cases still left un-' tried, and no extraordinary effort is being made to hasten matters. In fact, the ar- rival of steamers bearing papers and ad- vices from the coast I8 awaited with great anxiety. The pulse of the American people moves every vital organ of Honolulu, and Honolulu I8 the Hawallan islands just as Paris is France.
