How the HiIlmen Turn Tail.

It is possible that before our soldiers
get to close quarters with the enemy
they will see the latter turn tail" Let
them not be deceived. Turning tail is a
different thing with the hillmen to what
it is with us. The inhabitants of one
group of villages, the Rengman, are no
ticeable for wearing caudai appendage.
This, of course, is not natural. 1t is
fashioned of wood, eighteen inches long,
curved upward, tapering to point.
This is fitted to the back, being sus-
pended from the shoulders and secured
in position by sash, which is tied tight
ly around the waist. This singular ap-
pendage is worn in battle. and is intend
ed. to signify defiance. The wearers turn
their backs toward the adversary. and,
by balancing the body alternately on
either leg, wag the tail defantly in his
very face.-Nauonal Review.
