THE SAKILS.
Peculiar Customs of q Curious Tribe Lfv.
ing in the Malay Peninsula.

Peculiar Customs of Curious Tribe Liv.
ing in the Malay Peninsula.
The report of the resident. in the
State of Selangore, in the Malay PENN
sula, for the last year contains some Gu
rious information with regard to the
aboriginal tribes,'' called the Sakils,
who numbered between seven and
eight hundred. They are in nine di.
visions, under head-men called Baths,
and they live mainly by collecting
gutta, rattans and other jungle produce.
AS far as is known they have no form
of religious worship, but they are very
superstitious, believing in good and
bad omens, the sacred character of Ger.
tain birds, and they always desert 8
village as unlucky upon the death OF
any member of the tribe. They tattoo
figures on their arms, but do not use
any specially significant figures, Pc
culiar to each tribe, analogous to the
totems of the North American Indians.
They consider no kind of edible food
uncfean, but eat even monkeys, snakes
and scorpions, which they kill by
means of blow-pipe, throwing q
dart poisoned with the Juice Of
the ipoh or upas tree. For large game
they use kind of crosS-bow, consisting
of sharpened bamboo spear, placed
horizontally on a grooved log, and .
bent sapling fastened back by rattan
cord. This cord is stretched across a
path in the jungle, and on being touched
releases the sapling with sufficient force
to drive it completely through deer's
body. The Sakils live in small huts
built of bamboo and matched with
leaves of the Bertam palm, raised eight
feet or more above the ground. They
are sly and easily frightened, but are
quite harmless, and are gradually be-
coming accustomed to Europeans, by
whom they are employed to track game
and cut paths through the jungle. They
are small in stature, but are otherwise
very similar in appearance to the
Malays, from whom they differ. how
ever, in usually having wavy instead OF
straight-growing hair. A few Malays
are attached to every Sakil community
to act as go-betweens in the sale of
their produce, and the officials have re-
ceived special instructions to protect
these aboriginal tribes. -Interior.

Noblemen are. So plentiful in Paris

should find ID worth his while to assume

appears that calling ones self Marquis,

under false pretenses from the highes9
class of tradesnaen. A certain jsl bird
named Grand. who was formerly shop
assistant, has, thanks to an arisDcratic
appearance. good tailor, and bis self
assumed title of Comte Maurice de Tai
houet. been making quite fortune as a
swindler. The most curious fact in
connection with his case was that Jewell
ers and siNer-smiths allowed him to-
carry objects of great valaeA to which,
while buying relatively chap trifles, be-
took fancy. They said. in giving ey-
idence to the police saagistrate, that
had he asked for larger credits they
would probably have accorded them. he
had such an air of genuine wealth, He
went about in an elegant brougham, in
which he carried off the articles obtain

and visiting card. He was always max
