Sheep are put to rather novel double
use in the east While they are not com
monty regarded useful as beasts Of burden,
in a large part of northwest India, accord
ing to recent writer, thousands of sheep
carry for many miles the commodities that
are purchased by the sale of their own
wool The mountain paths among the
foothills of the Himalayas are so precipi
tous that the sheep. more surefooted than
larger beasts, are preferred as burden car
riers The load for each sheep is from
sixteen TO twenty pounds. The sheep are
driven from village TO village, with the
wool still growing. and in each town the
farmer shears as much wool as he can sell
there and loads the sheep with the grain
which he receives in exchange After his
flock has been shorn he turns it toward
home, each sheep having on its back a
small bag containing the purchased grain.

The native East Indian troops in the
British army are fast winning recognition
as good soldiers from their officers. Several
regiments of East Indians, mostly Sikhs,
have been taken TO Africa. A report of the
British consul at Mozambique, which was
recently laid before parliament. told of an
attack made by body of Sikh troops upon
a slave trading camp on the southern shore
of Lake NyaSsa. and it is evident that the
Sikhs were accomplished fighters. for they
