Shan Curiosity.

Every traveller in wild lands has
noticed how much alike are barbarians
and children in their behavior towards
what they have never seen before. The
author of that entertaining volume OF
travel and adventure. Beyond the Him.
alayas, gives lively Illustrative sketch
of the people of the Shan county, as lie
and his companions found them at Kiang
Mai, on tho Me-Kong River.
1--WE came upon some huts." he says,
''most of them standing solitary ON their
perches in the march, like lone legged
herons, while others were drawn to-
gether into little villages. The natives
were upon the river in their boats fish
ing with spear and angle; and after much
parleying we came to an understanding,
and ventured to pay them "a visit.
t.The men were almost entirely naked
but their chests and legs were tatooed
in elaborate patterns. Their hair was
worn in round tuft on the crown of
the head, the rest being shaven.
''The women had on bright.colored
pieces of cloth, and were adorned with
profusion of beads and silver anklets,
bracelets anc necklaces We were soon
good friends with these simple wild peo-

emit from the feroclouS savages who had
hunted us among the mountains.
''They were timid and slow.minded
and looked at all the marvels we had
with us--our guns, for instance-with
kind of stnpid wonder, contenting them
selves with setting them down as the re-
suits OF magic
Nothing took their fancy so much as
the large nails in the soles of the boots
worn by our chief, the doctor. and they
got the notion that here lay the charm
by which we were able to do all the in
comprehensive things that we showed
them.
cone afternoon, when the doctor had
lain down after hard forenoon's work,
for siesta, on the bamboo bench in one
of the huts, while we rested under a
huge banyan tree close by, black Han
nibal started us by jumping up, declar-
ing in great fright that he had seen
foah niggans' steal into the shanty.
"We thought he must have been
dreaming, but hurried with him to the
entrance of the hut, and there, sure
enough, was group Of natives around
the sleeping doctor, pointing out to
each other with awe and admiration the
rows of nails in the stout sh. es, while
one stopped down and with scared
lace NenlufeI 10 Scfape one OF the nays
ferrous objects with his nail.
A shout from Hannibal caused this
curious savage and his companions to
spring almost to the roof of the nut
Their tufts Of hair seemed to stand erect
with terror; while the doctor SAT up,
rubbing his eyes and asking what the
noise was all about. Hannibal was quite
indignant at what he considered the
liberty taken with his masters person,
but the doctor only laughed"

Seeding a Lawn.

To seed down a lawn properly re-
quires careful work. The surface must
be smooth and the sod thick. Thorough
blowing and narrowing and some level
ing will therefore be needed, and the
grasses sown should be those varieties
which spread from the root, have close,
short heritage and which mature in sue
cession. First, then, the surface should
be thoroughly well prepared, and the
soil made mellow and fine and compact
To do this the ground should be cross
plowed carefully SO as to leave no balks
or hard spots, then narrowed several
times, aud then rolled repeatedly. Lastly
one more narrowing is TO he given 10 get a
fine bed for the seed. The seed is then
soWn, and the ground once more rolled,
and if necessary, iaked by band to get a
good, even, level surface. The varieties
that are best for this purpose are first,
Poa ANNA, which is d low-gfoWing short
grass. which flowers in April or May
men Kentucky blue grass which flowers
later and lastly, old top, which flowers
in the fall. TIL 5 gives a succession of
growth from early in the spring until
late in the fall when the snow covers the
still green surface. A little white clover

of the lawn. The seed should be sown
alone as early as possible in the spring
The quantities of seed are as fol-
lows: six pounds of Poa annnma,
annual spear-grass: 20 pounds
Kentucky bluegrass, Poa pratensis, and
% pounds of red top, Agr1stis vuigaris.
Agrostis stolOnifera is variety of red
top which has more decidedly creep
ing habit than the common red top. To
keep The lawn in good order it should
be dressed every spring with mixture
of bone dust. plaster, and wood ashes,
and it should be moved at least every
two weeks, with a lawn mower, by which
it may be made TO yield three or fonr
tons of the finest and sweetest hay that
can be procured This hay will be
