A report of the operations of the
Great Trigonometrical Survey OF India
contains an account of an interview
which Mr.. Bond one of the staff, had
with a couple Of the wild folks who live
in the hill iungles of the Western
Chats, to the southwest of the Palanie
hills. A strange dwarfish people had
often been heard of as frequenting the
iungles near the station of Pemalia, IN
the northwest corner of the Tinnevelly
district, but until Mr.. Bond caught
these two specimens no trace of them
had been seen by the members of the
survey. These two people, man and
woman, believed themselves to be one
hundred years old, but Mr.. Bond sup
poses the man to be about twenty-five
and the women eighteen years of age.
"The man." Mr.. Bond says, "is four
feet six and one-fifth inches in height,
twenty-six and one-half inches round
the chest, and eighteen and one-half
inches horizontally round the head over
the eyebrows. He has round head,
coarse, black, woody hair, and daIk
brown skin. The forehead is low and
slightly retreating, the lower part OF the
face projects like the muzzle of monkey
and the mouth, which is small and oval,
with thick lips, protrudes about an inch
beyond his nose; he has short handy
legs, comparatively long body, and
arms that extend almost to his knees;
the back is concave. The hands and
fingers are dumpy and always contracted,
so that they cannot be made to stretch
out quite straight and fiat; the palms
and fingers are covered with skin (more
particularly so the tips of the fingers),
and the neck is small and imperfect; the
! feet are broad and thick-skinned all
over; the hairs of his mustache are of q
grayish white, scanty, and coarse like
| bristles, and he has no beard. The
woman is four feet six and half inches
in height, twenty-seven inches round the
chest and ten and one-ffth inches hori
zontally round the head above the eye
brows; the color of the skin is sallow, ol
of nearly yellow tint; the hair is black
long and straight, and the features vel
l formed. There is no difference between
her appearance and that of the common
women of that part of the country. Sht
is pleasant to look at, we'll developed
and modest. Their only dress is loos,
cloth, and they eat flesh, but feed chief,
on roots and honey. They have no fixeC
dwelling places, but sleep on any con
venient spot, generally between tw,
rocks or in caves near which they hap
pen to be benighted. They make fir
and cook what they have collected dun
ing the day, and keep the fire burning
all night for warmth, and to keep ava
wild animals. They worship certai
local divinities of the forest---Rakas o
Rakari, and Pc latter whom the hill
named Pemalia). The woman cooks fo
and waits on the man, eating only afte
he is satisfied" - London Medica

A correspondent of thesBoston Herald
gives the following account of a noted
flower farm in England: In corner of
the county of Essex, England, Messrs.
Carter fioriculturists, have,established
farm devoted to the growth of flowers.
These plants are not destined to adorn
the gardens of the Weather classes, but
to furnish seed from which flowers may
lie ultimately obtained A recent visit
to the village of St. Osyth, discloses n
tract of well-sheltered country, which,
in its variety of colors, reminded one of
stained glass window gone mad. In
one place an expanse of the deepest blue
is formed by few acres of Nemophila
insignis. Next to it appears perfect
sea of the purple Saponaria. Then
comes dash of the deep blue Lobelia,
and, farther ON, one enters space COW
cred with the Venetian red of the Phlox
drummondi. These are followed by
smaller beds of Sweet Williams, the yell
low Oxalis, the pink Eucharidium, the
purple LeptospeTmum, and these masses
of color are relieved by the white Memo
phila.
Another portion of the farm is devoted
TO Petunias, with purple and white
leaves edged with green; these are fol-
lowed by a yellow sea of Eschscholtzia
crocea, and then comes a promontory of
the odiferous sweet Sultan, white, lilac
and yellow. At the end of this appears
an island of Verbena surrounded by the
blue Lupin. A sea of the bright scarlet
Godetia, named after the Princess OF
Wales, and another pond of the same
color is formed by the Lobelia cardi-
nails. Every color is found here; the
blue of the Lorbelia speciosa, the pale
blue of the Campanule, the yellow of the
snapdragon, the rosy tint of the sweet
pea, the deep orange of the Eschscholt-
zia mandarin, the bright scarlet of the
Tom Thumb Nasturtium, ithe old-fash-
ioned Virginia stock, the French gray
and purple-colored Godetia whitney,,
the white Clarkia, dedicated to Mrs
Langtry, while Lord Beaconfeld's and
Mr.. Gladstone's names are immortaliZed
in different kinds of Chrysanthemums
These flowers are not picked, but are
allowed to run to seed, which is care
fully gathered and made up into small
packages
One corner of the farm is devoted tC
the cultivation of the seed of the more
useful products. Here may be found {
bed of American parsley, and a plot o
the new mammoth wheat lately intro
duced from the States. This cereal pro
duces an ear of immense size, bu
bearded like barley. These "horns,
as the beard is called, drop off as tn,
ear ripens, leaving it perfectly smooth
Next to the extirpation of weeds, tn,
gardeners greatest difficulty is to keel
the different kinds of flowers in thei
own beds. The small birds do thei
best to mix them up, and seem to take
special delight in carrying the seed o
some bright scarlet flower and dropping
it into the midst of bed devoted to
flower of another color.

The Right of WAY.

There was Detroiter among the trio
of officials who passed over the route of
the Butler road to secure the right of
way. In some cases farmers cheerfully
signed off; in others money had to be
used, but in one case the committee
found q most determined opposition.
The road would divide widows farm,
and she was independent, obstinate and
defiant. She knew that her hay-stacks
and barns would be destroyed by sparks,
her live stock run over by trains, and
her slumbers disturbed by the rattle of
trains, and she wouldn't listen to argu
ment. In this emergency one of the
committee said J
Madam, do you know of any widow
ini this neighborhood who would be
willing to board gentleman connected
with the construction of our road? He
is a widower, and prefers to board with
a widow"
"No, don't know as do. Is he a
nice manY
"Splended man, and has money in the
bank. We want him to permanently
locate at this point, and are in hopes he
will take a wife. 1t is unfortunate"
81 never did take boarders," she
mused, "but-"
eff you only could, now, I'm sure you
would not regret it. He is extremely
fond of hildren, and would be like a
father to your little ones"
Perhaps 1 might, to accommodate
yor."
"Ah! thanks. He would be here next
week if this right of way matter was de-
cided, but as it is he may no."
"Do you agree to pay damages if you
burn my barn?"
"Of conrse we do"
"And I'll probably get used to the
noise?"
ooh, of course. In week you won't
mind it. Fact is, you'll sit up every
night till midnight, anyhow, after the
gentleman arrives.
ooh, no, / shan't, ] shall never love
again; but if he is nice man, and loves
children, why, don't know as l ought
to stop your road. 1 guess I'll sign!"---

II is common to say that young
mau comes OF age" 81. This means
that he is then old enough TO manage
his own property, to do business for
himself, and to be made to do as he has
agreed also to vote. Before he is 81,
ii he has any property, his father or
guardian manages it for him; he is not
expected to do business on his own ac-
count; and if he makes foolish bargains,
he can say 1 have changed my mind"
There are several other ages which are
important; indeed, q person may be
said to be coming of age" for different
purposes at different times all through
his life. From his very birth he is of
age to be owner of property, and to be
protected from violence and cheating.
At years he becomes of age to be
punished for crime, if it can be shown
that he was bright, intelligent lad, had
been taught somewhat, and knew that
the thing he did was against the law
and would be punished. These things
are not taken for granted until he be-
comes IA. From aud after IA it is sup
posed that youth knows enough to re-
frain from attacking people, or stealing,
or setting houses or fire, or things of
that kind. AT IA, also, he is of age to
be asked, if his father should die, whom
he will choose as guardian; and of age
to marry but, that if he does SO, he can
not retract afterwards, and say he was
too young. At Is years he is of age to
be soldier. At FL years he becomes
independent of his father, and may
vote; these things are so much more
important than any of the others that
reaching Fl years is commonly called
coming of age" as if it were a magic
date for everything. At 25 years he is
of age to be Representative in Con-
gress; that is, after that the people can
elect him, if they choose; before that
they cannot. After 30 years he can be
elected Senator, and after 40 President.
At As years he is of age to be excused
from going as soldier Christian
