Life Among the Savages Of the IsIsu d.
An Interesting Account

Life Among the Savages Of the Island
An Interesting Account.
The INIT in which I found myself. and
it was fair sample of the rest. was Of
the rudest possible description. Tho
doorway was so small that it was task
to get in; the walls were composed of
the branches of trees stuck into the
ground q little apart. the intcrstices
being filled with bits Of chopped wood;
the roof was thatched with grass Three
sides were occupied by raised bamboo
sleeping platforms. some fifteen inches
above the ground; there were no win
dows. At one side was . slight de-
preston in the ground. which served As
. fireplace, logs of trees being laid over
it, end to end, and constantly pushed
farther in as they gradually consumed
away. All the village crowded in
women. young girls and children Of all
sizes; but the male savages. with the
exception of those referred to. wore all
absent ON hunting expedition. having
been gone several days. From the roof
were suspended various requisites ofthe
chase-bOwS, arrows and deer skins
besides sundry articles of domestic use,
all of the rudest kind. Having had some
thing to eat I strollcd out amongst the
other huts. and everywhere was well
received. What particularly struck
me was the fearlessness of the
women and girls and the frankness
of the children. who were most interest
ing They came close up to me, ex-
amined my clothes with their large dark
eyes. pulled my whiskers. and were
never tired of looking at my watch.
They are bright. and should say in
telligent, and incolnparably more inter-
esting than Chinese children-sO SIM
pie. natural aud unsophisticated. All
smoke. from the youngest to the Oldest
of both sexes, and it was truly ludierous
to see tiny mites of certainly not three
summers-stark nakcd-with pipes in
their mouths. The women and girls
carry their pipes of bamboo stuck in
their hair. somewhat in the style of the
liang-pat'ou head dress of the Peking-
ese ladies. and keep the tobacco bags
hung round their necks. They at once
offered mo q smoke. Some of them
were playing upon q curious kind Of
jews harp. made out of a slip of bam-
boo with threads at each end. whilst
one girl, of about sixteen. danced.
The dance was neither q landau
60 nor bolero. nor yet q minuet. but
bore some resemblance to all three; it
was so intensely grotesque that l
laug he'd uncontrollably. No sooner had
she finished than the girls came up tc
me. and Offering me jews harp. made
signs to me to dance. The harp alone
was sufficient mystery to me. but
when the minuet was added the tableau
was complete; the audience threw them
selves down and screamed with laugh
ing. From this performance I passed
to a scene of somewhat different char
acter--a few yards along path. step
to one side. and l stood before q scafiOld
of camphOr branches on which reposec
q grinning row of human skulls, the
heads of Chinese slain in raids.-GOO.

TRICKS IN THE STABLE.
Vicious Habits Which Idle Horses Are Apt
to Acquire.

Vicious Habits Which Idle Horses Are Apt
to Acquire.
Among the tricks or rather habits
acquired by horses in the stable, rest
ing one shoe upon the other hoof. lying
in the gangway. rolling in the stall. and
kicking are among the worst. In the
first place, the horse. if suddenly
startled, is apt to bring the resting foot
down suddenly, often seriously injur-
ing the coronet. The remedy is boot
covering the part likely to be injured.
Lying in the gangway may be prevent
ed by placing bale or rope behind the
horse, preventing him from backing
up. Standing in the gangway may be
prevented by the same means. Rolling
is the most difficult to cure. The most
feasible plan is to keep the skin of the
horse free from sweat and dirt. which
induce itching; and also to allow the
animal to roll in soft ground when
sweaty and tired. A rOOmy stall, with
sides standing slanting up to the per-
pendiculaf walls. will also prevent this,
but box-stall will be the best prevent
i've. Severe strains of the loins. even
fractures of the hip bones, and other
disabilities. are often the result of roll
ing in the stall. Lying in the stall, at
the extreme length of the halter, re-
suits in strains and sprains in the at
tempt to rise.
Kicking is one of the worst vices to
which a horse can become addicted.
If the habit is not inveterate it is cured
by hanging a sack well stuffed with
hay SO it may strike the animal in the
rebound from the kick Let him kick
this innocent dummy until he is tired.
Then he is apt to quit f6r ever. A
horse that kicks from being touched
by the whiflletree or other sub
stance touching him should be
Immediately taken out of the vehi-
Gle and allowed to kick until he be-
comes tired. The whiffietrec should
be padded SO rs not to seriously injure
him. 1t may then be lowered 50 as to
touch his heels when he moves. When
he ceases to kick he is generally cured
entirely. The remedy may seem Sc
we're. but kicking horse is worthless.
because always most dangerous. In
lieu of the whiffietrce a sack stuffed
with hay may be suspended SO it will
touch his heels in the stable. But q
confirmed kicker should be sold to
work in heavy team where he can not
do much injury.-Chicago Tribune.

Here in rich and happy America We
know knothing of begging as it is prac-
ticed in less favored lands. To know
this disagreeable experience in all its
fulness. We must cross the ocean and
travel in Ireland. Spain. Italy. but more
especially Asia; then we shall be less
inclined to complain at our fe W homo

Here is q description of what a recent
traveller was forced to encounter from
professional beggars in Northern Persia:
'On leaving my caravanserai." he
says. Il thought 1 was rid of the men,
dicants and dervishes who had beset
me, but soon discovered my mistake.
Taking short cuts across the field. they
had posted themselves at different
points of vantage along the narrow
path. from which they had no. only
recommended their opportunities. but
almost made use of physical force to ar
rest my horse. There were dervishes with
boards stained of fiery-red color. and
wearing queer cOnical hats, who. nthey
did not regularly belong to the howling
sect of ConstantinOple. most decidedly
showed themselves qualified for admis-
sion to it by the fashion in which they
yelled. screamed and groaned, exhOrt-
ing me in the name of the blessed Ali
and the Imans Hassan and Hussein. not
forgetting Haziret Abass and many
other holy,people, to give them charity.
Then there were the old. the blind
and the lame-men. women and chill
dren-hanSing on to my stirrup and
seizing my bride. Some we're horribly
deformed. and it seemed marvellous that
they should have undergone such ap-
parently frightful disasters as were nee
essary to reduce them to their then
present mutilated condition. and yet
continue to exist. They seemed to con-
slider that in my supposed quality Of
hadji on my way to Meshed l must be

A New Kind Of Bank Note.

An entirely new kind Of bank note.
printed in colors instead of the black
and white of the Bank of England
notes. is being prepared for issue by the
Bank OF Scotland. The promise to pay
in the body Of the note is surrounded
on two of its sides BY . broad orna-
mental band. and on the other two
sides by . border in which the value of
the note is printed . great number of
times. On one border the seal and
counter seal Of King Willia:n II. of
Scotland are printed in brown on q vel
low ground. ard between them are the
royal arms on blue ground. On the
upper border are the arms of the bank
in brown ON yellow ground. with the
date of the establishment Of the bank,
1895. The cbief novelty of the new
note is in IL colors. which will, of
course. make reproduction by photo
graphy impossible. and it is believed
will prevent forgery. The paper on
which the new note is printed is made
BY the same firm as produces the Bank
OF England note paper.-N Y. Post.

ACCIDENTS.


How They Nay he Treated In Cases q
Emergency.
BROKEN BoNEs.-Not much can Be
done in this case until the doctor comes.
- it requires IN experienced hand to
set a bone. The chief thing to
guard against is the rough ends poking
through the skin, which turns . simple
fracture into . compound one much
more difficult to manage. If the leg.
or arm is broken. pieces of shingle can
b bound on each side of the fracture
20 keep the limb stiff, and if long
time must pass before the surgeon @ 4
arrive. cloths wrung out of very hot
water can be laid about the place to
keep down the swelling; the part must
be moved as little a. possible.
SPRAINs.-A severe sprain should
have very hot water poured over it
every two hours. and in the interval
kept wrapped in flannel wet with hot
alcohol or extract of witch hazel; the
part must have perfect rest until il can
be moved without pain.
BRUIsEs.-Wrap q piece of ice in
cotton and oind it on the place. or
keep it covered with cloths wet in very
cold water; gentle, firm pressure with
the hand is useful. After few hours,
the cold applications should be discon-
tinued and q liniment put on. If in
fiammatiOn sets in. . doctor should
see it.
BURNS. s.-Advice on the best way to
act when the clothing is on fire has SO
often been given in print that it seems
as if every one must know how to act
in this terrible emergency; yet
one can scarcely take up .

some unfortunate woman has per-
ished because she ran about screaming
for help instead of rolling on the floor
and trying to smother the flames. 1t
is of the greatest importance that the
mouth should be kept shut, SO that the
flames may not be breathed in. If there
