From the Pamir Plateau, in the extreme west—"the world's backbone" —radiate the great natural ramparts which shut out India on the one hand and the Tartar countries of Bokhara and Turkestan on the other. No Asiatic or Western conqueror has ever dared to penetrate this mountain world; and even Genghis Khan, the scourge of Asia, whose ravages extended from Pekin in tho East to Moscow In the West, was obliged, when invading Northern India, to take the circuitous rente, via Ivashglinr and Afghanistan, instead of crossing Thibet. Secure on their lofty plateau, and practically iso lated from the rest of the world, the people of Thibet have remained undis turbed for ages, and have developed characteristics for which we might vain ly search in any other race on the globe.

One of the newest shapes for the coining summer appears in fine chips in various pretty colorings, and in fancy lace and zephyr braids and Milans in black. It has a low crown and medium wide brim, and what gives it its name is tho odd crooked shape curvo of tho hat at the back, first curling up, then turning down again, and beneath this pretty arch are placed clusters of violets, apple blossoms, shaded roses or vari-eolored tulips, intermixed with braids of fine green foliage.

For the bicycling gaiter is by no means [clumsy—that is, lif it be properly made. The lower por tion of tho female leg looks extremely well with tho trim row of buttons or the line of crossed lacings; nor is tho short skirt testhetically offensive if worn by the right sort of person.

Lnrilcß IVitH False Necks, The use of the false neck is more common than one would naturally sup pose, says a writer in London Answers. It is worn by ladies who are too thin to look well with their necks uncov ered and also by those who have deli cate lungs and so are forced to keep the bust and tthroat thoroughly pro tected from the cold. I once saw one of these false nocks worn by a Parisian belle who had just recovered from a severe attack of in flammation of tho lungs. Tho dress was cut square in front, the opening (which was very wide) being only filled in with a single thickness of tulle, slightly frilled, and met at tho top by a collar necklaco of pearls fitting closely around the throat. Under this slight veiling or tulle there was visible what was apparently the rose-tinted flesh of the fair weather. The false neck was in wax, fitting closely to the chest, and met at the throat by the collar of pearls. Sheets of flesli-tintcd wax, slightly softened in warm water to render them pliable, ore molded upon the wearer's chest and sliouldersj by skillful fingers so cleverly that it is almost impossible to detect tho deception. It is said that Silo is the charge for such beautifying. W omen In tlio IIouBO of Commons. In connection with the recent debate in tho British House of Commons re garding the admittance of women and the accommodations to be provided for them, it is of interest to note that his tory is but repeating itself. As long ago as 1648 this entry appears in the journals of tho Commons: "Ordered that the commander-in-chief and the guard that do guard the House from time to timo to keep the clamorous wo men from coming up the stairs lead ing to the House of Commons door." In tho following century, however, the "clamorous women" invaded not only the stairs, but the House itself, and obtained for a timo at least privi leges which are denied to the feminine politician of to-day. Special interest was taken by tho womeii of that period in the two great debatos which fol lowed the arrest of Wilkes in 1764. Women appear to have made them selves at homo after this, until Feb ruary 2, 1778, when the Duchess of Dovonshire and fifty other women were turned out of tho House, in Bpito of struggles and protests. It was nearly sixty years beforo the sentence of exclusion was rescinded, although during the period, according to the chronicler Hatsell, "women, many of the highest rank, made sev eral powerful efforts to be admitted." —New York Tribune. Marking Coast Light*. Miss Eliza Scott, cousin of Admiral Scott, ie a little woman who sits hour after hour, day after day, in the Hydrographic Office, Washington, and puts little dnbs of yellow paint, hero and thero over the thousands of maps issued by this department. Each of these yellow splashes covers, but does not conceal, a tiny black dot which marks ono or another of the hundreds of lighthouses scattered along our coast lines for tho guidance of thoso who go down to the sea in ships. Although the same yellow dot marks them all, thero is a variety of lights. There are fixed one 3, intermittent lights, revolving ones and red and whito flashlights, with occasionally a red sector, which indicates shoal water and danger, and tells the mariner to keep his ship well outside tho space covered by this light. For twenty years has Miss Scott sat thus, jabbing yellow dots, apparently in the most haphazard manner, over the maps after they have come from tho press. A fow minutes' watching will conviuco one that there is method in her manner. She knows the situa tion of every one so well that she conld almost perform her work in the dark. It is ve-y trying on tho eyes and only one thoroughly acquainted with the situation could do it in a satisfactory manner. Tho object of color over the clots is that they may be more readily per ceived by those using the maps. Formerly a tiny drop of red was put in tho center of tho yellow splash, but as the black dot underneath shows through the yellow perfectly the use of the red has been discontinued, which lessens the labor by half. There are 535 lights on the Atlantio const, beginning to count at the north part of Newfoundland and continuing to the south shore of Venezuela. This includes those on the Gulf of Mexico and along the coast of the West Indies. On the Pacilio coast there are only thirty-three lights. Thus it will be seen that Miss Scott puts on hundreds of thousands of her little yellow dabs in a year's time, although she works but from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m.—Chicago Record. 'llats For Cycling. The bicycle j woman's headgear is about tho most stationary thing in the realm of fashion. It doesn't seem to be affected by time or taste, aud al though there is a demand for new shapes in hats suitable for wheeling, there is scarcely any response on the part of tho usunl inventive milliner. Sailor hats are not good wheeling hats, as the wind catches the brims if they are broad, and the sun catches the rider's faco if the brim be narrow. The Alpine shapes are considered the best for shade, neatness and "stick iug-on" qualities, but they are not be coming to all faces. A sort of a com promise between the sailor and the Alpine is shown this season that may or may not become popular. It is a broad-crowned turban, with a rolling brim. It affords a certaia shade to the eyes while rolling up at the sides unlike the sailor. The broad low crown takes away the severity which makes the Alpine hat trying to so many wearers. These hats are trimmed simply with a twist of spotted net or veiling, which further softens the effect. Small straw hats with Tam-o'-Shan ter crowns, trimmed with a silk scarf and a couple of stiff quills at the side, are sold for cycling, and round little toqnes, with crowns encircled by a twist of straw veiling, and a quill at tho side, are made to be worn with tho smartest tailor cycling costumes. For tho straw Alpine all sorts of mixed straws aro used, and plain, startling colors, such as bright green, bright red and bright purple.

Great as are tho possibilities of electricity their full scope is probably only foebly comprehended. One of the latest devices is a Mater forge. The details aro ns yet the secret of the inventor, but in effect the method is as follows: A tank shaped some what like an iron sink is filled with Mater, M-hich is highly charged with electricity. The piece of iron to bo manipulated is held by a pair of pin cers M-hich are attached to an electric M'irc. When all is ready tho iron is dipped into the water, of course caus ing the positive and negative poles to como in contact. It takes from ten to sixty seconds for the iron to become hot enough to be bent or M r orked as required. An interesting and impor tant fact is that the heat manifests it self o'ily upon that portion of tho iron that is covered by the Mater, thus rendering it much more controllable than forges of the ordinary pattern. If one inch is under Mater, only one inch Mill be red, and so on M*ith auy submerged length. Two Curious Clocks.
