A RACE OF MEN WHO HAVE

A RACE OF MEN WHO HAVE
NOT YETALEARNED TO Talk
On the Island of Borneo has been
found a certain race of wild crea-
lures, of which kindred varieties
have been discovered in the Phil.
lipine Islands, Terra del Fuego,
and in South America. They
walk, usually. almost erect. on
two legs, and in that attitude
measure about four feet in hight.
They construct no habitations,
form no families, scarcely asso-
ciate together, sleep in caves, feed
on snakes and vermin. on ants
eggs, and on each other, They
cannot be tanned or forced to any
labor, and are hunted and shot
amoug the trees like the great
gorilla, of which theyare q stunt.
ed copy. When captured alive,
one finds with surprise that their
uncOuth jabbering sounds are like
articulate language. They turn
up a human face to gaze at their
captors, ,and females show instincts
OF modesty. In fine, these wretch.
ed beiags are men and women.

EUROPEAN WAGEs.-Sixty cents
a day is considered good wages
for working men in any of the
European countries, except Great
Britain where the wages are some
-hat higher. In the Tt SIX
rerion and IN Italy they often do
not get more than ten cents dav.
ii he country in German eo
-ants Is the common pay. = ON
81 thera often get but five Cents.
IG SW- len men often work from
four il the morning till aine in
the evening and do not get aDy
more. During the late war, ,mSny
poor women in Berlin were hired
to knit stockings for the soldiers
for five cents. The profit of the
poor who keep petty shops, sell
trinkets in the streets, or act as
suttlers, do not average more than
three or four per cent. Barriers
in Berlin, since the raising of
their prices get five cents for hair
cutting, and two and a-half cents
for shaving. Servants at hotels
get from three to eight dollars per
month. Servant girls in private
families often get but ten dollars
per year. Sometimes these class
es cannot get work at Any price.

of which there will be $50, will
be lighted directly from the open

In Algeria Its cultivation was
undertaken on a large scale. Some
$4,000 eucalipti were planted in
an extremely pestilential and un-

vailed to a great extent every
year. During the first year of
their growth at the time when
the fever season used to set in,

dried up by 1900 of these trees.

station in the Department ofthe
Var was so pestilential that the
officials could not remain there

trees were planted. and the un-

Cremation Among the Karens.
The following curious account of the
funeral rites among the Karens of Bur-
NAH is given by magazine writer:
while burning the body was sepa-
rated by a sort of kiln from the fuel
that surrounded 1t, so.as to prevent the
mingling of the ashes of the corpse and
those produced by the incineration of
the wood. This precaution is always
taken where the ashes are to be pre-
served; otherwise all is consumed to-
gether, and the work of demolation in
either case occuDies scarcely an hour.
But before the bones are reduced to
ashes the Karens select single one,
usually that of an urn or finger, and
carefully preserve it till convenient
time Tor bringing the relatives and
friends together again. In the case of
the deceased eopyist this meeting was
to take place four days after the burn
ing of the body. At the appointed time
a great feast was prepared, ceremonies
similar to these performed over the
body were repeated over the bone, its
solitary representative, and q solemn
dirge vas sung to frighteR of Muk-ha,
an evil spirit of whom the Karens stand
in special dread. Then one Of the sill
Yer bangles worn by the deceased on
his wrists and ankles was hung I'D just
over vessel of cooked rice, of which
the departed spirit Was invited to par
take. On inquiriDg the reason OF this
ceremony We were told that If the BAN
gle and the string by which it was sus-
pended should remain perfectly mo-
tionless, this would be received as an
indication that the soul of the deceased
Was "A prisoner in hell, and the party
would break up in disnay. But ii the
string should evince tremulous mo-
ton, the bangle turn round or the cord
snap suddenly in twain, the survivors
would see in these tokens indisputable
evidence that the deceased had answer
er their call. Fortunately for their
credulity the bangle fmoved no doubt
by the passing breezr) did tura sud-
denly round, and the poor wife with a
cry ofjoy pressed it eagerly to her lips.
] ne spirit was then invited to the grave
prepared for the bone, which was bur
led with the fOed and clothing the dead
man was supposed to require in the
spirit-land, and money with which to
ranseln himself if he should chance to
be taken prisoner on the way by any
evil-minded demon. The whole COM
papy then clapped their hands three
times, saying, go in peace! This
grave Is thy small house, but thy grand
and spacious mansion is on the cool
bank of the river Mandowka, where
beauteeus maidens recline on bedsof
flowers, and all is cool, calm,
and quiet With this loving valedie-
tory and funeral rites ended, and the
company dispersed. The urn contain
ing the precious ashes was carefully
laid away by the bereaved wife, but the
grave in which the solitary bone had
been deposited could never be revisit

they become reconciied and renewed
the engagement. But it would not
stick, and Miss aumphries told Conger
she never wo' 'd.marryhim. He leftOlio,
and both niarried-she to Major Sibley,
who died a number of years since.
The wife of Mr.. Conger has also been
dead some years, and both the living

After commonplace greetings in an
agitated voice, she made the inquiry,
suppose your family are with you"
did you not know that my wife was

she did not. They chatted some time,
and on leaving she said, Il am at The

Il will come if you take back what you

The engagement was very brief, and
the happy twain were united lasr Sat

All other creatures praise God only
passively; Ikea lutte, which, though
never so harmonically set and tuned,
yields no music till the strings be art
fully touched by skillful hand.
But man can freely command and
strike the strings of his own heart and
affections, and is the only creature be-
low here that can actively praise and
honor his maker. Man, therefore, is
concerned to honor and glorify God
both for himself and all crea lures round
about him; and so the whole world is
the temple of the great God, as man is
as II were the priest of this region of it.
