TIBETAN MENU NOT ‘VARIED
Majority of the Population’ Subslsts
Almost Exclusively ‘on Barley
Meal and “Butter Tea.”
Tibetans live almost the year round
on two things, parched barley meal,
called “tsamba,” and “butter tea,” ac-
cording to Dr. A. L. Shelton, writing
in the National Geographic Magazine.
Tsamba is made by parehing barley
and then grinding it into a very fine
flour. It becomes a sort of emergency
ration, for, being parched, it requires
no cooking.
In preparing the other principal af-
ticle of their diet the Tibetans first
make a strong liquid by boiling the
coarse Chinese tea, which they prize
most highly. The concoction I8
strained into a churn and to it are
added a lump of butter, more or less
stale, and a handful of salt. The
queer mixture is then churned into
an emulsion.
The typical meal among the valley
folk of Tibet, and among many of
the nomads as well, begins with the
drinking of two er three cupfuls of
butter tea.
As the Tibetan drinks his hot but-
ter tea, he continually blows back
from the rim of his bowl the film
of butter that rises to the top. Af-
ter several bowls of the beverage
have been drunk, there is a consid-
erable accumulation of butter. The
bowl is then half-filled with the tea
emulsion. Into the hot liquid, rich
in butter fat, tsamba is now poured,
to be kneaded by the fingers into
lumps and eaten.
Knives, forks, and spoons are un-
known in Tibet—all eating is done
with fingers. The wooden bowl is
carried in the sheepskin garment next
to the skin, and each time after being
used it is licked clean with the tongue
and replaced in the garment.
WORD CHANGED IN MEANING
Modern Filibuster Is a Comparatively
Harmless Proceeding, Considering
What It Once Meant.
When a legislator attempts to delay
the progress of a measure he disap-
proves of, in the hope of preventing its
passage, spending hours upon hours de-
bating it, he is called a “filibuster.”
The only parliamentary body in the
world where filibustering to the ex-
treme is countenanced and where it
has a chance of success is the United
States senate.
The real meaning of the word “fili-
buster” is a lawless adventurer, espe-
cially one in quest of plunder. The
term is derived from the original fili-
busters, who were West Indian pirates.
The name is traceable to that of the
small, fast-sailing vessels which used
to be called “fiilibotes” or “fly-boats.”
Gradually the meaning of the ex-
pression began to embrace all sorts of
military adventure. American usage
finally broadened the phrase to such an
extent that it now includes those sen-
ators or congressmen who use obstruc-
tive and dilatory tactics to gain their
ends.

Obstructed Vision.
An old merchant who resided in Ire-
land had a glass eye, which it was his
custom to take out and deposit in a
tumbler of water each night before
retiring. He awoke one morning very
thirsty, having on the previous night
drank not wisely but too well, and by
mistake drank from the tumbler which
contained his artificial optic, thereby
swallowing same.
His wife, fully aroused and greatly
alarmed at the semi-choking condition
of her spouse, called to the valet, who
was an Irishman, to render assist-
ance.
Pat having promptly arrived, was
requested to look down his master’s
throat to see what caused the obstruc-
tion. Proceeding to investigate he
saw the eye in question lodged some
distance down the passage. Meantime
the anxious wife asked: :
“Can't you see down, Pat?”
“How can I see down and another
fellow looking up?’—London Answers.
Yale's Stone Bulldogs.
Four bulldogs in stone represent
student life at Yale. The bulldog has
been Old Eli's mascot for lo! these
many years. One of the dogs, with a
wrinkled brow, wears spectacles. He
is the student. Another bulldog, brow
not so much wrinkled, wears a foot-
bail player's helmet, a nosepiece with
its end gripped in his teeth. He is
the hero of the gridiron. Another
bulldog wears a soldier’s campaign hat,
depleting what Yale men have done
in the various wars. Still another
bulldog has a cap and gown, repre-
senting the completion of the college
course. Of all the carvings found,
these are the four most interesting, al-
though there are faces representing Dr.
Hadley, and a few of his predeces-
sors.”

The Royal Fish.
The sturgeon is a strange looking
creature, being almost covered with
flattened bony plates, in the center
of each of which is a conical spine.
It is said to live to a great age—two
hundred years is one estimate, but we
have no certain knowledge on the sub-
ject. Its air bladder is rich in isin-
glass, and caviar is prepared from its
roe. Its flesh seems to combine the
flavors of fish, flesh and fowl, and
is really excellent. It was Edward II,
who made the sturgeon a royal fish,
but it is only sturgeon caught in the
Thames which can be claimed as the !
property of the crown. Sturgeon re-
sembles salmon in that they work up
rivers to spawn. The Volga is the
principal sturgeon river of Europe.
WHEN. DOWN IN THE MOUTH
THINK OF JONAH,
HE CAME OUT ALL RIGHT.
Some folks are never comfortable
unless they are miserable; they are
always down in the mouth and onlv
feel good when telling their troubles
to their friends.
Pessimism is a habit of seeing only
the gloomy side of life. It is just as
easy to see the right side if your vis-
ion is perfect. Let me fit you with
glasses that will remove the cloud.

A Fair Substitute.
“Hey, there!” shouted an acquaint-
ance, peering in through the open
doorway of an Arkansas domicile,
wherein the head of the family was
beating on a tin wash boiler and yell-
ing at the top of his voice, while half
a dozen or more dogs sat around and
howled in admiration. “What in tor-
ment is coming off? Have you lost
your mind?” :
“Nope!” replied Gap Johnson, of
Rumpus Ridge, Ark. “But wife has

maw over beyond Mount Pizgy, and

What It Costs to Stop Train.
An ordinary passenger locomno-
tive consumes a pound of fuel for
every 52 feet it travels. Each unneces-
sary stop made with a heavy freight or
passenger train represents a fuel
loss of from 500 to 750 pounds
of coal, depending on the weight of
the train, the length of the stop
and the grade conditions. A brake-
line air leak on a train of 50 freight
cars has been known to cause a loss of
as much as 2,540 pounds of coal in a
ten-hour period. The loss of coal each
time a modern locomotive pops oft for
five minutes is-about 75 pounds. If lo-
comotive firemen were to save a little
more than one shovelful of coal out of
each ton used the total saving would
be equal to nearly 1 per cent of all the
coal handled. Floyd W. Parsons in the

Bird Migration to Siberia.
With the autumn season comes the
migration of birds. From Britain
they migrate to Africa; in Australia
the birds fly away to eastern Siberia.
During the Australian winter the snow
melts in Siberia and it becomes an
elysium for birds from every country
of the East. A few days after the
snow has gone pansies, anemones, and
dwarf roses appear in flower and the
birds find a rich store of cranberries,
crowberries, and Arctic strawberries
for food. The inrush of birds into
eastern Siberia at migration times is
one of the most marvelous sights in
the world; every pool left by the
melting snow is black with them. The
Australian birds have the long at
journey to make of all, coming from
8,000 miles away.
