MUSK AND RHUBARB FROM THlBET.
Thread Rubbed \Vith Garlic Run Through
the Pod to Test Purity of Musk.
In return for the tea and other arti-
cles sent into'Thibet through the Ma-
hometan representative of the Thibet-
an trade guilds, the natives send back
a long list of articles, including musk.
rhubarb, wool, skins of various kinds.
precious stones. medicines, and r.
coarse grade of unbleached, silken‘fa
bric.
Musk, which forms an important
part ot Thibetan outward trade, is a
secretion of a small deer (Cervus mos-
chus). ‘ This animal occurs throughout
Eastern Thibet, but the largest herds
_are said to roam over the plains near
the Koko Nor. A great deal of musk
passes out to North China. The con-
sumption in Szu-Chunn is considera-
ble, and there is no article more easily
smuggled. A single “pod” rarely con
'tains more than one-third of an ounce
of musk.
Good musk, which is recognized by
its rich brown color, and intensely pun-
gent odor, is bought for ten to twelve
times its weight in silver on the fron-
tier. In Chung-King it sells for as
much as eighteen times its weight in
silver. .
It is said that practically all the
musk which passes through Ta-Chicn—
Lu is adulterated by the Thibetans be-
fore it reaches that market by means
ofJblood and liver. The usual test for
ascertaining the purity of musk is
running a thread rubbed with garlic
through the pod. If no odor of garlic
remains the perfume is held to be
sufficiently pure.
’Another important article of export
from Thibet is rhubarb. This plant
grows abundantly in many parts of
the country, and the supply is said to
be in excess of the demand. Great
quantities are grown on the hills
about ii‘a-Chien-Lu, but the natives, in
order to dispose of it rapidly, dry it
”by, artificial heat and thus injure its
quality. This drug is, from the point
of yiew of the civilized natives, the
most useful of Thibetan medicines.
of above nine thousand feet, and the
state by the tribes or by the Chinese
traders in Thibet. The large roots are
trimmed or chopped into rough square
lumps; in the Ta-Chien-Lu district.
owing to the dampness of the climate.
the roots have to be carefully dried,
and are perforated to prevent mildew,
which is the great enemy of the Chi-
nese drug merchant. On arrival at
Chung-King the lumpsof rhubarb 'are
again trimmed into small, square
pieces, and after being dried are pack-
ed ,for Shanghai, where an equal
weight is worth five times its value on
the frontier.—Manufacturer.
SECRETARY SEWARD lN DISGUISE.
He Went to Court in the Hotel Porter’s
Knee-breeches, Stockings and Shoes.
In the North American Review, Sir
William,Russell, LL.D., narrates an
anecdote in which Secretary Seward
had part:
Mr. Seward, who had bee-n received
with great respect in Russia, came to
England, and,I naturally, desired to go
to court. He was to be presented at
the levee by the United States Minis-
ter as a Senator of the United States.
He drove off at the appointed time
to the palace, but was stopped in the
corridor by a gentleman in uniform,
'who said he could not pass because
he was not “properly dressed.”
Mr. Seward was in full evening
dress, black dress coat, waistcoat and
trousers and white cravat, but it
would not do. The gentleman ex-
plained that he must have knee-
breeches, shoes and stockings—that
was absolutely necessary. An idea
struck Mr. Seward. There was a nice
old man, about his size, the porter
of the hotel he was staying at, who
sat in a box in the hall, and OK he
drove. ‘ .
,Immcnse success! The porter had a
beautiful new pair of knee-breeches
and black silk stockings and low
shoes. .A few dollars for the loan was
all that was needed. Mr. Seward was
speedily equipped, drove back to the
palace, where he was admitted and
finally had the pleasure of making his
bow in the hotel porter’s clothes to her
Majesty.
Now, all that is changed, and Amer"
ican citizens attend European courtl
in plain evening dress. '

GEN. WHEELER TO so.
He Has Been Ordered to Huntsville, Ala
to Command the Cavalry.
Camp ,-Wikoff, Sept. 21.—The Third-
cavalry expects to get away from here
to-day and will be transported across
the,Sound to New London, where they
will take the Central Vermont Railroad
for Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont.
. The ,men of the Eighth Maine V01—
unteer Signal Corps will be relieved
from duty to—day. ‘
The Twenty-fourth infantry, colored,
was to have gone wholly to Fort Doug—
lass, Utah. As only half the men can
be accommodated at Fort Douglass,
the rest of them will be stationed in
_ Wyoming.
General Wheeler is to go to Hunts-
ville, Ala., where he will be in com-
mand of the First Separate cavalry di-
vision. ' '
General Wheeler is now'in commu—
nication- with the quartermaster's de-
partment regarding the transportation
for moving the cavalry. ‘

Return of Gen; Merriam.
San Francisco, Sept. 21.—The steam-

from Hawaii. General Merriam, com-
mander of the department of Califor-
nia, who has been in Honolulu, was
one of the passengers.
He was accompanied on the voyage
by Lieutenants Graves and Bennett of
his staff. ‘ '
Everything was .quiet in Honolulu
when the steaming left. The people
were jubilant a the annexation and
were interesti. themselves in an ef-
fort to make the government of the
islands similar to that of the United
States.
The officers of the,,Australia say that
the Arizona, with troops for Manila,
sailed on the 11th inst, and the Scan-

Montreal, Sept. 21.—-The comptroller

Inspector Moody and his small party
of mounted police, who set out for the
Yukon by way of Edmontton, have
reached Dawson City.
No serious mishaps have befallen
them, but their trip was across a coun-
try which white men had never before
traversed, and although a good deal of
fun has been poked at the expedition
for the time that the trip has taken,
there is little question that the report
which it will be able to present will
.be of public value.

‘, ,INDIANS GROWING GOOD.-
l'ho 'Policy of the Governmet ”to bloke
_ ' ' Them Self-Supporting-
It ~isflru‘m‘orcd 'in department head-
quartersthat there will be a rattling
of g dry bones at some of the older
Western posts in the near future. As
.a result. of. the shake-up, predictions
are that a number of them will be
stricken from the list of necessary
stations and either sold at auction or
turned over to the Indian service for
agenCIes. ' . -
Five years ago it was thought the
height of folly to think of abandoning
any of the Arizona military posts,
which are in the region infested with
Apaches, but to-day it seems to be the
settled policy of the Government to
make these 'men self~supp0rting, and
therefore safe citizens. As rapidly as
the Dawes bill requirements are com-
plied with the Indians are admitted
to the rights of suffrage. These, re-
quirements are “the severance of all
tribal relationship and the adoption of
the modes and habits of civilization.”
This will soon cover the whole Apache
tribe, once so bloodthirsty, and it is
not improbable that the next "five
months will see the abandOnment of
Forts Apache; Grant and Huachuc‘a,
in Arizona, and Wingate and Union,
in New Mexico. The only reason why
the Government keeps troops in these
God-forsaken regions now is because
of fancied fear of the Indians.
It is also the policy of the Govern-
ment to turn over all abandoned mili-
tary posts in the Indian country to the
redmen, to be used as agencies: thus,
in Utah, can 'be seen the Onray agency,
once the site of ’old Fort Roubidoux;
in Montana can be seen the Fort Peck
agency, once the site of a military
cantonment of that name, and in Ari-
zona the Fort Defiance agencyfiour-
ishes where once stood that sentinel
of the advance of civilization west-
ward, Fort Defiance.
In speaking of the Apaches recently,
Gen. Sumner said: “It is generally mis-
understood, this question of the Apa-
che Indians, They are generally look-
ed upon as being bloodthirsty, fierce
warriors. On the contrary, I. never
dealt With easier Indians to handle.
They are making as rapid strides to-
ward civilization as any band in the
United States, and no more need
watching than many of the tribes of
the Indian Territory. The Utes are
vastly more turbulent and trouble-
, some.”
From this it can be seen that the
prediction that the above-mentioned
posts will soon be reminiscences has
good foundation on logic; all of them
are mainly maintained for the purpose
of keeping the
Denver Times.
Surgery on snakes.
Snakes in "captivity; it seems, nome- _ _
times-find difficulty in gettingj-id of.
the§ s'kin’which is shed .every year: An
'Austrialian diamond snake in thé‘Bom-
bay Museum, which appeared likely to
succumb, was quite blind ' and re
fused all food. ’A. European sympa-
thizer therefore“ pressed the native
snake keeper into service to hold the
snake, and himself, with a pair of
sharp-pointed scissors, performed the
delicate and risky operation of clip-
ping away the membrane which ad-
hered to the eyes. '
J. M. Phipson, editor of the Journal
of the Bombay Natual History Soci-
ety, performed a far more dangerous
Operation a couple of years ago. His
patient was a large hamadryad, or
him; cobra, the mest vicious and poi-
sdnous of all Indian snakes, and a
most powerful creature to boot. Mr.
Phipson gripped the king cobra round
the neck and a native literally held on
for his life further down, and when
the reptiles struggleswer-e over 'a third
man, armed with a surgeon’s scalpel,
removed eight layers of membrane
from each eye—London Sketch.
. Sampson’s Patriotic Grandson.
One of Admiral Sampson’s married
daughters, the wife of Lieutenant Roy
Smith, lives in Norwich, and has a
small American of her own at the pub-
lic schools. The first, time they sang
“The Star Spangled Banner” in his
room, the patriotic youngster rose to
his feet, and there he stood reverently
and resolutely till the song was over.
That’s the naval rule, to stand un-
covered when the grand nationnl an-
them is sung or played.
With a naval father and grandfath-
er, -he followed the laws of the ser-
vice.
It was rather an unusual proceed-
ing, and his playmates undertook to
guy the little patriot about it, but he
stood his ground like a hero.
The incident reached the ears of the
local school board, and the order at
once went out that all scholars of Nor-
wich must stand while the national
hymn is sung—N. Y. Mail and Ex-
