Suddenly we get glimpse of the
Indian Ocean, glittering in the rays of
the now western sun. A canoe drawn
upon the beach tells us that fisher
mans hut is at hand, and soon we espy
shadow of the palms. A Singhalese
woman stands near it, dressed in an
orange-colored sarong or petticoat, and
a loose open jacket of white cotton.
Astride on her haunch sits little
brown, bright-eyed Cupid, perfectly
naked, and two young boys, similarly
attired, come rushing up from the sea
where they have been padding about.
The women greets us with smile as
we approach, but its effect is rather
marred by the exposure of the black
ened teeth and the copious flow of red
saliva which the universal habit of
chewing betel produces. Inside the
hut is a 1.-the, copper-colored youth
dressed in handkerchief, making a
meal off cocoanut, whose soft white
pulp he scoops out with his fingers and
transfers to his mouth with evident rel
ish. A little girl lies stretched out on
a mat, quite naked, unless small sill
yer ornament suspended by a string
from the waist partakes of the nature
of clothing. These huts are of very
primitive construction, being formed of
stakes driven into the ground, few
cross-pieces and covering of mats,
very ingeniously made by plating to-
gether the leaves of the cocoanut tree.
No nails are used, that whole structure
being bound together by strands OF
coir rope, made from the outer fibers
of the cocoanut. These frail dwellings
last only about year; but they are
soon put up, and are not expensive,
since all the materials are ready at
hand. A rustling in the leaves over
head drew our attention in that dlrec-
ton, and the owner of the hut presently
came down the trunk of palm with
great agility, bearing an earthen vessel
or chatty suspended from his arm. He
had been up for the toddy or palm
wine so much relished by the Singha-
lese. 1t consists of the saccharine
Juice of the kitool palm, and is obtained
by slicing the end of the Towering
spadix and collecting the flowing sap
in dish suspended below. Each tree
yields several pints daily, and as soon
as it ferments in the warm climate, the
natives are amply provided with the
cup that inebriates as well as cheers.
A coarse kind of sugar, termed jaggery,
is also made from the juice by treating
it with lime before fermentation sets in,
and it is much used by the natives to
sweeten their curries, etc.

How the reeds and rushes CULVER
BY the low banks of the river.
Where the leaning willows SILVER

How the water means and murmurs
As IL eddies round the lilies,
Like human soul in sorrow,

How the shadows hunt the edges

To the listening lilies whisper
OF some strange and awful deed.
How the sunshine, timid. ightened.
Dares not touch the spot II frightened

With life's mockery and woe.
God alone can know the sorrow,

Black and Brown Rats.

The rats originated in Asia, and their
raids belong to comparatively modern
times. The animal was unknown to
ancient Europe. There is no such
thing as blue rat known to natural
history. The rodent referred to is the
black rat, which first came to Europe
from Central Asia early in the sixteenth
century. In the latter part of the CEN
fury il reached America. This was the
common house rat until the brown or
gray rat came. This second species is
larger than the black rat, and more
combative. 1t also came from India
and Persia, through Russia, and was
first seen at Astrakhan at the beginning
of the eighteenth century. 1t made its
appearance in Europe about the middle
of the century, and was first seen in
America in 1775. 1t has quite driven the
black rat from houses, and though the
latter still fingers about wharves and
granaries along river banks in Europe
and Great Britain, it may be said to ex-
list even in these places only on the
sufferance of its stronger enemy. The
house rat is often called the Norway
rat, from a mistaken tradition that it
first came to Britain from Norway
Inter Ocean.

Dead in the Fortieth of a Second.

A learned writer in one of the scientific
magazines claims that death by hanging
is the most humane method of putting
criminals out of the world that has yet
been discovered. From numerous OBJ
servations of executions, and careful
computations of time required for the
sensor nerves to carry the feelings to
the brain, he thinks the pang occa-
stoned by the fall is very brief, and
places the time which q man is con-
scious of his own feelings, after bringing
up at the end of the rope, at .025 of a
second. In other words, man who is
hanged has his senses just one-fortieth
of a second after the line is taut.
