ONE OF THEIR PEcULIARrTrEs.

One of the peculiarities of this strange
people is the way they raise their rice,
which is their main staple, almost their
sole stock of provisions, eked out with
fruits, roots and herbs, which they collect
when in season, and the jungle is prolific
of such kinds of food. Each village has
its head man, all live in common, and as
soon as a field Of rice is ready to be cut
he orders il and distributes the grain
equally among his people, and so on dur
Ing the season all sharing alike Their
only implements are large knife used for
cutting rice, building their huts and max
ing tops and cutting their way through
the underground, and pair of shears for
cutting hair, which they cut short with
the exception Of a tuft on the crown of the
head about two inches in length, which
looks like shoebrush, standing up like
bristles- Having no pots, they cook their
rice in bamboo. They cut off section
and shave it thin, open q hole in one end,
put in the rice and water, then closing up
the end, put it in the fire. Green bamboo
being impervious 70 the fire, they thus
have a first class pot The same is used by
the Siamese when travelling through the
jungle-apd as they eat with their fingers
they need no dishes, and thus have none
to wash when the meal is over.
When they need cloth, knives or shoes
they barter the products Of the jungle,
which are many and varied, consisting Of
rhinoceros horns, elephant tusks, horn,
bone, hide and skin, but will not take
money except in rare cases, having no use
for it, not knowing its value They are ex-
pert trsppers and snare all kind of game
elephant, rhinoceros, tigers, leopards,
pumas, deer and all other denizens Of the
wild wood for their skin, and some of the
finest ivory exported was purchased from
these people, but their skins were badly
handled, which detracts from their value,
being merely dried in the sun after being
stripped from the animal
When forced to go shod, which is sell
dom, they improvise a sandal which they
make out of piece of hide, rounded in
front and behind, with Q hole where the
big toe rests through which is inserted a
D ece Of bamboo, fastened on the bottom
with loop on top, through which the toe
is thrust, and thus the sandal is held on
the foot. They pay n taxes, scknowl-
edge no ruler, their number is unknown,
and in their emerald fastness, guarded by
malaria as deadly as dynamite, they live
and die, never having heard the story Of
Jesus, knowing no future, their world
and existence being confined to the PEN
insula of Malacca. Cor. Rich

The old-Style pills! Who does not know
What agony they caused-what woe?
You walked the floor, you groaned, you
sighed,
And felt such awful pain inside,
And the next day you felt 50 weak
You didn't want to move or speak.
Now Pierce'S Pellets" are so mild
They are not dreaded by child.
They do their work in painless way,
And leave no weakness for next day,
Thus proving what is oft contest
That gentle means are always best.

SLAMS QUEER PEOPLE.
A RACE OF BARsARIANS WHO IN
HABIT THE JUNGLES.

A Strange People Who Occupy the Low
! est Plane Of Humsnity-Their SLIM
! plicity of Life-Food and Clothing.
! Various Psouliarities.
| Among the many peculiarities Of this
! peculiar section is an almost unknown
race of people, an account Of which feel
assured will be of great interest. A few
days since the governor of Sangkia, u
province on the west coast of Siam, who
was here to bring tribut 10 the king, gave
me considerable information in regard 70
these people who live on the coast, term
ing them Ken Poh-jungle people. They
make their homes amid the densest por-
tion of the forest, have but little commu-
nication with the outer world-in fact
they are entirely isolated. The only per-
sons that they hold intercourse with are
slaves and traders who have penetrated
the jungle in search of game or barter, as
1t is almost impossible to penetrate to the
villages on account of the density of the
vegetation, the dangerous beasts and
yenomOus serpents that infest them.
They shun all intercourse with strangers,
have peculiar dialect of their own, live
in small villages, and are muscular,
hardy race, strictly vegetarians, do not
drink or smoke opium, have but few, if
any, OF the vices Of the natives, are but
five feet in height and seem to be sunk in
the most abjeCt barbarism, occupying the
lowest grade of humanity.
What little religion they have is a mon
grel worship OF demons and the malignant
spirits that they assert inhabit the jungle,
which they attempt to propitiate by pres
ents, etc. Their habitations are partly
subterranean, about four feet high, an ex-
cavation in the ground around which
stakes are driven, covered with a dome of
plated bamboo over which is pastered a
thick coating of mud, which soon hartiens
in the sun, rendering it iInperviOus to the
rain or the heavy dews of that section,
which they occupy only when necessity
requires, as they live mostly in the open
air, and when the land is overfiowed up
in the trees. Their clothing is of the most
primitive kind. A piece of cloth about
one foot wide and four feet in length,
which is held in place by piece of llama
or vine, as they have no cord or rope, is
made into n belt placed around the waist;
then the cloth Is inserted between the
legs and carried both back and front up
under the belt over which it laps, and
the band being drawn tight holds it in
place, and As the ends are opened spread
out like small aprons, and thus the deni-
zens of the jungle are in full dress, some
what akin to the Edenic costume of old
the fig leaf.

heals the parts affected and leaves them in
