How n Bold Burmah Outlaw Escaped Exc
cutiOn.
For several years the dacoits of Upper
| Burmah have overrun the country, liv-
ing wholly by plumber and greatly re
tarding progress under the British
regime. A notorious leader Of these
robber bands was Yam Yum, and the
government finally offered reward
for the capture or killing of the bold
outlaw. The country became too hot
for him, and he wrote to an officer of
the government asking how he would
be treated if he surrendered The of
ficer replied: There is reason to be-
lieve that your life will be spared, ow-
ing to the clemency of the govern
ment." Yam Yum. upon the strength of
this letter, marched into camp and gave
himself up.
He had committed so many crimes
that the Government thought he ough'
to suffer the penalty of death. In g
proclamation offering full pardon to al
dacoits who surrendered, Van Yum hao
been distinctly excepted from the bene-
fits of this act of clemencv. The Gov
eminent was in a quandary, therefore
The officer was informed very plainly
that he had no right whatever 20 hold
out hopes to Van Yum. But upon the
strength Of this letter Yam Yum had vol
UNFAIRLY surrendered, audit was thought
it would be 5nwise to execute him under
the circumstan ces. The matter was re-
ferred to the judicial Commissioner,
who decided that Van Yum could not be

FRUiT-EATING ANIMALS.
Some Birds and Beasts That Have Deli
cate Palates.

Some Birds and Beasts That Have Deli
cate Palates.
Comment has lately been made about
mice eating oranges, of horses also and
dogs eating the same. 1t is not general
ly known to what extent animals are
fruit eaters.
The fig is the favorite fruit among
animals. and horses, cows. hogs, sheep
and goats will eat this fruit as readily
as man. The elephant considers it a
dainty, while all the fowls greedily
devour figs. The apple ranks high in
favor. and horses, cows, sheep. goats.
hogs and many of the wild animals eat
apples with avidity. The elephant and
deer are fond Of them, while others be-
come accustomed to them after trial
or two. All the domestic fowls and
many of the wild birds are fond of
apples.
1The cherry is delicacy much sought
after by the whole feathered tribe The
ostrich will consume half dozen kinds
of fruit.
Peaches are not a favorite except
with a few animals. though rabbits
fancy them. 1t is well known that rab-
bits, rats and squirrels all eat apples.
The Eskimo dogs viii eat almost
any of the dried fruits. The sour or
acid fruits. as the orange. lemon, lime,
shaddock. etc, as well as the sour
plums and the bitter olives are rarely
eaten. Nothing, we think, is so bitter
as an olive freshly picl1eled, yet after
they turn purple or black hogs soon
learn to devour them.
The sweet and luscious grapes are
eaten with great relish by horses cows
and sheep. Deer are fond of grapes,
and often do much damage in California
vineyards. Hogs viii fatten upon
grapes. rabbits love them, and a number
of the wild animals. as the elephant
and camel. viii eat them. The camel
will eat figs with all the relish that a
person will.-Oroville (Cal.) Register
