Jcsepn Keppler. the g-eat cartoonist,
who is .nsepa"ably associated with the
growth of caricature In America, was
born in Vienna about fifty years ago.
His father was fancy baker, and the
boy fostered love of art from orna-
menting wedding and birthday cakes
with quaint and curious designs. He
then made copies of fine costume plates,
which he offered for sale, and subse-
quently drew for the comic German
papers. Finding this did not pay, he

1869, feeling the country too small for
him. he came to America. settling in
St. Louis. Most of his time was spent
in making designs for photographers,
but he was too ambitious for that work,
and induced some friends to aid him in
establishing the German Puck. St. Louis
was poor city for such paper, and
the venture lived but few months.
Thwarted but not discouraged Keppler
came to New York in 1872. His genius
was at once recognized, and he and
Matt Morgan drew cartoons on Leslie's
in opposition to Mast on Harper's. He
remained with Leslie until 1876, when,
in company with A. Sehwartzman, he
revived the German PUCK, the English
edition of which appeared the 70 low

and the paper was an assured success
almost from the start. Puck has been

THE ANDAMAN PIGM.ES.
The Fiercest Little Savages "a the World
at Last Wonby Kindness

lAaSC Won ny htn0neSS.
In the Bay of Bengal is a chain of
islands known as the Andamans. whose
inhabitants have long been famous for
their extreme ferocity. their diminu-
tive stature and the utter failure of
missionaries who have labored among
them for twenty years without making
a single convert. It has been almost
certain death for a stranger to set foot
on some of these islands, and it NAV
now be said for the first time that
through the exercises of long and pa
tient kindnesses these little folks have
been infused with some measure of
confidence in the outer world A large
part of their coasts may now be visited
without inviting the tragedies of which
we have often read as occurring there.
The Indian Government has long
maintained a penal colony on South
Andaman. The white officers in charge
of it resolved to try upon the fierce
dwarfs OF Little Andaman the policy
that had won for them the good will of
many other islanders. A while ago an
expedition. assailed as usual when it
landed with arrows and battle axes,
took three women and six men prison.
ers and carried them nearly a hundred
miles away to Fort Blair. They were
treated with the utmost kindness, and
after while began to think they were
among friends. In two months thew
were restored to their island loaded
with all the presents they could carry.
Upon the next visit of the whites the
released captives came to see them and
in few days men, women and chill
dren fearless y visited the camp, and
even ventured on board the steam
launch Some of them have since vis-
tied tie white settlement on South An
daman, and, though tact and caution
are still required to deal with them, it
is believed that soon shipwrecked
crews will be able to land on Little An
daman with perfect safety.
AS far as we know. the Andamanese
are one of the smallest races of men
that ever existed. The average height
of the men, Prof. Flower tells us. is 4
feet inches, that of the women feet
6 inches. They are about the same
size as the South African Bushmen, and
we know no people smaller than the
Bushmen except the Aka of Central
Africa. Evidently of Negrito stock, the

Something About the simple Diet of the
South American Cowboys.
When in the Republics of the Uru-
quay and the Argentine in 1868, where
| met Captain Burton, l found that the

camp did, with mutton, all that is
claimed by your correspondent. The
fellows in the distant camp were often
six and eight weeks without any thing
but mate and their sheep, and to my
horror found that each at a meal could
eat u merely sodden shoulder of mutton,
which for an hour hal been toasted
from a wooden stake over a fire of dry
COW dung. The mutton so prepared was
often perforce eaten without bread, salt
or pepper. and then it was always rel
ished for its own sake, but washed
down with mate-why, it was living
like a fghting-coc1! Still, | am bound
to confess that when the fellows from
the distant camp visited Buenos Ayres
or Monte Video, they made straight for
a confectionery shop, and ''hobbling"
their horses in the street. they gorged
themselves with cake like SO
many schoolboys. Yet the Repub-
lies of South America con-
firm the statements of your correspond
ent, with this qualific ,tion, that the hot
water may be infused mate, and that
if fat and sinew are liked they may be
eaten freely. The jewellers in the camp
are the leanest, the most enduring,
and the healthiest men living, sixty
miles on horseback before breakfast
being as little thought of as the walk Of
Londoner from the bank to the stock
exchange. 1t shou be added that
children begotten in the camp inherit
these qualities, with intelligence be-
yond their years from an English point
of view. The boy Or girl of eight or
ten years may be trusted to climb up
the fore leg of horse that he or she
may chase sheep running before a
