A Specifies Race Of Men.

DR.. Fields book on Java says {:
"Tbis part Of the world would delight
Mr.. Darwin by the strange races it
contains, some of which approach the
animal tribes. In the Island of RHO
the Resident assured me there were
wild men who lived in trees, and had
no language but cries and in Suma-
ira the Resident of Palcmbang said
there were men who lived in the for
ests with whom not only the Euro
peans but even the Malays could have
20 intercourse. He himself had never
seen one; yet, strange to say, they
have petty traffic with the outer
worlG,fyet not through the medium of
speech They live in the woods, and
and live by the chase. They hunt
tigers; not with the gun, but with a
weapon called sumpitan, which is
long tube, out of which they blow
arrows with such force, and that are
so keen of point. and touched with
such deadly poison, THAT the wound is
almost Immediately fatal. These
tiger skins or elephant tusks they
bring for barter-not for sale-thcy
never sell anything, for money is
about the most useless thing they
could have they cannot eat it; or
drink it, or wear it, But as they
have wants. they exchange, yet they
themselves are never seen. They
bring what they have to the edge of
the forest, and leave it there, and the
Malays come and place what they
have to dispose of, and retire. fthe
offer is satisfactory, when the Malays
return they find what they brought
gore, and take what is left and de-
part. If not. they add a few trfes
more to tempt the eyes of these wild
men of the woods, and so at last the
exchange is effected, yet all the while
the sellers keep themselves invisible
This mode of barter argues honesty
on both sides"

A wild rose by the way side hung,

A pure, scarce conscious perfume fang

In that high mood when thought hath ings
And finds alone its speech in song,

And drew an ldie hand along,
Nor deemed the careless chords had caught
The life note that my spirit sought,
Till suddenly on my startled ear,

Alack! ! bongh, the rapture dear
The string had broke.

In one sad song his whole soul cast;
Too well knt W his loveiicsi note

And yet, while memory hath power
To count the hours too vainly spent,
The fragrance Of that faded flower,
That harp's asst dying music, blent
With the wild birds wei,d death song, will
Will haunt every waking moment still,
Teaching my heart the bitter cost

A Terrible Lesson.

In the kilograms from Sacramento the
other day an accident to boy was mar
rated-a boy of fourteen, who had clam
bered to the top of a freight car and was
swept off by the limb of tree, fractur-
ing both legs. Amputation of the left
leg was necessary, and an attempt was
made to save the right leg. but the poor
little fellow succumbed to the shock and
died yesterday. He was not poor boy,
who could not find work, and was there
fore obliged to catch ride as best he
might for few miles; on the contrary,
he left home of plenty, under that ter
rible fascination to "run away" which
is inherent in the human family, and
which attacks nearly every boy who has
access to sensational stories and thrill
ing romances. In that fascination for
adventure he left his fathers house in
this city and traveled-anywhere-
his fever for adventure had absted, and
then he tried to get back to his home,
and met with the accident which caused
his death. This should be accepted as
warning by boys who find themselves
attacked by desire to leave their
homes in quest of adventure. Acct
dents are plentiful enough under the
most careful management; do not in
crease the risk by setting out in the
world before you have the consent of
your parents. -Ala California.

The Force of Habit.

He had been in the habit of standing on
the curbstone, in front of the church,
after service, and waiting for his girl.
As he prided himself greatly upon his
politeness in public places, he invaria-
bly,, even after their betrOthal, stepped
up to her, and, doiiing his hat, request
ed permission To see her home.
The first time that they went to church
together after they were married, they
were unable to secure seaLs together.
This, however, did not worry him He
secured seat for MS wife, and at once
sought his old quarters by the stove,
and among some Of his old cronies.
After service was over, ne absent
mindedly walked out with the boys,
took his old stand on the curbstone.
With flashing eyes and glowing cheeks
out came his wife. She would have
passed him in indignant and scornful
silence had he not stepped up 70 her as
of yore, and raising his hat, said: "Miss
L., may have the pleasure Of walking
with youS"
He had the pleasure OF knowing that
he was very much married, when she
exclaimed:
s'You idiO;ic fool, pu. on your hat and
come alOngi"--Ezchaage.

A Paris Firemen's Exhibition.

Have seen grand firemen's parade.
Sixty-seven companies. Procession.
All on Sunday. Average, fifteen men
to a company. Three buglers, and
sometimes drum. Machine runs to
the sound of bugles. Resembles bath
tub on hand cart. No bigger. Brakes
on either end. Eight men man the
brakes. It's simply pump on a wheel
barrow. In operation, pump lifted from
cart and set on the ground. Firemen
have regular manual exercise. Saw the
sixty-seven companies drill in front OF
supposed burning building, three stories
high. Two companies at a time. Word
of command given by one general OFF,
GER. First operation is to tip up the
hand-cart. Pump next taken off and
set on the ground. Axes, short hooked
ladder and coils of rope, which cart also
carries, laid convenient for use. Lad
ders raised to second story. Firemen
ascend and enter. Hose and pipe haul
ed up by rope. Whereat they pump.
Pumping at this trial mere form. No
water used. Exhibition terminated at
second story. How these garden hose
get water TO the third or fourth story is
to me mystery. "Ponpeurs" wear
several pounds of brass on their heads,
short jackets, baggy trousers and very
wide belt having sundry iron rings.
Some indulge in embryo coat tails.
Officers wear epaulettes. Drill after the
fashion of artillery. "Pompeurs !"
stand in place, two on either side OF
cart. Each has his special function.
Remainder in ranks look on. Singular
sight, however, for New York fireman
to see sixty-seven pumps on hand-carts
pass for a liremen's parade. Next to
see them tip up the carts aud take the
engine off. Lastly to see the company
run to fire with three "pompeurs J"
throwing away their wind on the bugies
instead Of the brakes. However, there
is not so much 10 burn in Pans as IN
New York. Walls and partitions here
of solid stone eighteen inches thick.
