PRIiITIVE PEOPLE.

From Harper's Nagazina.
In the country districts men ana
women alike usually wear only one
article of clothing, a sort of petticoat,
fastened tight around the waist by the
men and just above the breast by the
women. Some OF the women adopt the
style of the men as giving greater cool
ness and freedom. In the neighbor-
hood of the towns they generally add
an upper garment made somewhat in
the style of close-fitting night-gov9n,
and either fastened in front or not, &C
cording to the taste of the wearer. The
children in many cases omit even the
chest-protector worn by our young
fellOw-traveler on the steamer. These
little brown cherubs, with rounded
bodies and well formed limbs, look
like bronze statues as they stand in
the bright sunshine gazing curiously
at the passing strangers.
About ten miles from Garoet is a
small lake called Bagendit. The road,
smooth and in good order, runs be-
tween rice fields on either side IN we'll
kept terraces. Men and women. stand
ing mp to their knees in mud, were
turning up the rich, black soil and pre-
pairing for the new crop. Gray or
fesh-colored buffaloes, with hides like
skins, wallowed in the muddy water,
looking up with languid, Indifferent
gaze as we ratified past. Sturdy brown
children sported gayly among their
four-footed companions in all the free
dom and innocence of natures own
garb. We felt that we were nearer the
great warm heart of mother earth than
ever before.
AS we neared the lake the villagers
turned out in force to receive us. Ten
or twelve fastened away to prepare
the boats, while the remainder squatted
down in silent respect. 1t was like the
villages one reads of in the works of
African explorers. The low one-storied
huts of light bamboo poles, enclosed
with palm mats and matched with
leaves, seemed hardly capable of af
fording protection against the fierce
rays of the sun. We made our way
through the single street, followed at
respectful distance by a throng of
curious but tinid natives. At the
waters edge we found the advance
guard busily engaged in constructing
a most peculiar craft. Four long mar
row canoes, each followed from the
trunk of large tree, were arranged
side by side. On these was placed
sort of summer house OF light bamboo
poles, rooted and foored with bamboo
mating. In this floating house, which
was about eight feet square, chairs
were placed for our accommodation.
Sitting at our ease we were padded
slowly out into the lake, our rowers
squatting upon the bow and stern OF
each dugout, and propelling their
cumbrous vessel with small spoon
shaped oars not unlike child's sand
shovel. We forced our way through
large fields of lily pads, each leaf be-
Ing two feet or more in diameter. The
flowers, as large as quart measure,
were beautiful pink and deliciously
fragrant. The seeds, as we proved By
actual experiment, make excellent eat
ing, and are mnch priced by the ma

FOR KANs ANS oNLY,

Justice Of the Peace Bigger of Sumner
county tried his first case last week. He
knows very little about isw and still less
about judicial duties. Bat ne had heard a
number of cases in his time and he thought
that he could give a very lair imitation of
judge.
The case was bitterly contested and the
exciting moment when the judge had to
charge the jury came, and be arose with
great deliberaiion. He then began:
Gentlemen of the jury, charging jury
is new business with me, as this is my
first case. You, as well AS myself. have
heard all the evidence in the case. You
have also heard what the learned counsel
have said"
Here the new justice of peace drew HIM
self up TO his full heighth and continues:
Now if you believe what the counsel
for the plaintiff have told you, your YER
dict will be for tue plaintiff; but if, on the
other, you believe what the defendants
counsel has told you then you will give
the verdict to the defendant. But if"
Here the Justices ear caught the sound
of snickering in the audience and he
paused and quoted the crowd with a
severe glance.
"But if,'' be continued, you are like me
and don't believe what either of them said,
then I'll be damned if l know what you
will do. Constable take charge of the
jury"
"What are you licking that poor man
forl"
For stealing a coat"
"Did he steal a coaI?"
"Oh no. But a red-headed man in New
York stole coat from a brother of my
uncle's second cousin. and this man here is
red-headcd and L am licking him out of
sympathy am an American Railway
union man, sir, and l know my rights"
