After leaving Dlardlowran our diet
had consisted entirely of frozen or
boiled fish, which is the universal arti-
Gle of food in this section of the coun-
try. In the notebook which kept on
this journey l find the following record
on the subject, which | give verbatim:
Every day as l advance meet more
aud more intelligent looking people, but
it is very rare to meet any one who can
read and write. / was much surprised
TO find this pitiful lack of education
among such intelligent and well-man-
nered people, and wondered how they
acquired this intelligence, until finally
I remembered the fish diet, which ex-
plains all. Fish, Hsh, fish in every form
at every one OF the five or six meals
day. Why, / begin to feel somewhat
intelligent myself, but don't believe 1
lcok so. Indeed, caught a glimpse of
my face in a mirror to-day and came to
the conclusion that it must require con-
siderable confidence in human nature to
accept me as an American officer travel
ing under orders or for anything else
respectable. A forlorn and stubbed
beard upon face sunken and haggard,
with hair struggling all over not pre-
possessing face. The tip of the nose,
cheeks, forehead and chin raw from
frost bites-altogether the most dismal
object have yet seen.

According to a recent writer Lord
Napier calculated that in India the
tigers devour an average of 10, 900 farm
laborers in q year. One tigress drove
away the inhabitants of thirteen vii
lagos, who left uncultivated a space of
$50 square miles. In lower Bengal, ac-
cording to Capt. Rogers, 10, 400 persons
were killed by tigers in six years. In
1869 a single tigress destroyed 1877 vic
tins and stopped the travel along that
route; another tiger in three years
killed 10S persons. The mischief done
by serpents in many hot countries may
be compared to that attributed to tigers;
serpents in India killed IA, $50 persons
in 1868, and DIR. Fayrer maintains that
If the statistics were well kept they
would show yearly average of 10000
