The people of Thibet, although they have had no opportunity of learning the vices of the Europeans, drink to excess very frequently. Every tribe has some kind of intoxicant. They are practically free from the habit of opium smoking, but are greatly given to the use of tobacco and souff. Even the lamas-or Buddhist priests-take great quantities of snuff although they do not smoke.

No Thibetan could be happy without a plentiful supply of tea. An invariable accom. paniment of every man is his pu-ku, or wooden tea-cup, which he carries in the bosom of his garment.
