There proba bly, never was boy or

for his or her own pleasure a band of
pygnies who should do what they were
hidden like 50 many animated dolls.
Dwarfs have been found in Africa. but
the natives Of the Audaman islands, in
the bay Of Bengal. are the smallest
race OF people in the world. The aver

is four feet five inches, aud few weigh

marveluusly swift of foot, and a, they

strange appearance. Few travellers
care TO encounter any of the wariike
little people, for their skill in throw
ing the spear and IN using the bow Is
only equaled by thrlc readiness to at
tack strangers
Altogether their traits are not such
as to make them desirable additions to
the playrooms Of children, since they
have been said 70 eat men alive. They
are as black as Goals and seem u find

artistic venture they usually begin

fish, turtles and wild honey and are

Men Tigers.

The be icf is very general through
out India that men are turned into
tigers 10y eating of certain root 1t
IS supposed that tigers who destroy
many human beings are men whJ
have partakcn Of this peculiar root.
The >arimant, CHIEF Of DCOri, re-
lated to the author Of 'Itambics and
hccpilcctjOno" the following ancclo' G.
The tigers which now intest the
woods from Sugar to cOri are neither
more nor less than men turned into
ligers-a thing which often takes
place in the woods Of Central India.
The only visible difference letwecn

ordinary tiger, has very long one.
In the Jungle about Deori there
is a root which if Il man eat of he is
converted into tiger On the spot.

other root, he becomes Il man again.

My fathers wa,hcrman, aghu
was. like all waShcrmcn. great
drunkard; and being seized with Il
violent desire to ascertain what Il
man felt in the state Of a tiger, lie
wet one day to the jungle and
brought home two Of these roots ana
desired his wife to stand by with one
Of them, and the instant she saw
him assume the tiger shape to thrust
it into his mouth.
The washcrmaT ate his root and
became instantly tiger: but his
wife was 50 terrified at the sight of
her husband in this form that She
ran of with the antidote in her
hand.
Poor old Eaghu took to the woods
ana there ate good many of his old
friends from ighboring villages:
but he was at last shot. ana recOg-

having no tail.

He Was Prominent Lawyer and Was
 Once a specuIator.
 ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Aug. 16.--Luther c. Challis, who has been prominent fig ure in this city and Atchison during the past 20 years and who was at one time a mos: daring speculator in New York, lies dead at his home in Atchison. He was once among the leaders of Wall street. Several times in his life Ghallis was worth sI,00o,O00, but he died al- most in want.
 In the west he was known as heavy speculator in railroad building, but for several years before his death he was not engaged in any business. After the death of ex-Governor John A. Martin of Kansas Challis became editor of the Atchison Champion. He swung it against John J. Ingalls, for reelection to the United States senate. Challis went from Atchison to New York in 1861. He was member of the Stock Ex- change from that time until he left the city in 1872. When speculation in gold was at its highest he was one of the heaviest operators.
 Challis was figure iii the famous WoolhnlI-Clafn blackmail suit. Roger A. Pryor and Judge Fullerton were ChaIh. lawyers and The latter received no q faa q tract of land in Atchison which is still known as tine Fullerton quarter.
 Challis was born in New Jersey. He pre-empted the land on which part ol Atchison now stands. As a member oi the Territorial Council of Kansas, Chal lis secured the charter for the first rail road west from Atchison. the Atchisor and Pike's Peak, now the central brancf of the Union Pacific He was the firsi president of the road and originally owned every dollar of the stock.

 CoIonizinE MennOnites.

TOPEKA, Aug. 15.-Capitalists of east ern states who own large tracts of land in centr9l and western Kansas are be- ginning to realize that the most certain plan of bringing them under cultivation is to bring to this country Russians and Mennonites and establish colonies
 Wherever these people have settled in central or western Kansas they have conquered the elements and have made homes and accumulated each year. J. P. Pomeroy, q millionaire of Boston, has been iii Europe several months or ganizing large colony of Catholic and Lutheran Mennonites, which he intends to bring to Kansas.
 Pomeroy was a resident of this state for 10 years, holding an official position in the central branch of the Union Pa cific railroad, of which his father, the late R. NJ. Pomeroy of Boston, was principal stockholder. While young Pomeroy was in the west his father at various times purchased large tracts of lend in Graham, Phillips, Rocks and other northwestern Kansas counties. At his death he owned S9,G00 acres. which reverted to young Pomeroy, then To- cated at Atchison.
 The young man worked up numerous schemes for selling his lands to the landless of other states, but they all failed. Two years ago he went tc Europe, his destination being south. ern Russia, for the purpose ot organizing a large Russian colony for Kansas. Crops have failed there and he found that he would have to wait. He did not become discour' aged, but returned to this country with the determination of trying again.
 Early in June Mir. Pomeroy sailed foi Russia the second time. He will remain there until he shall have arranged fol the shipment of the largest colony oi Russian Mennonites ever sent to the l United States.

The Seven Chinese Vessels Reported Lost
 Refers to Former Battle.
 LONDON, Aug. 16-A private telegram from Yokohama says seven Chinese ves- gels were sunk in the recent engagement with the Japanese. This report lacks confirmation and probably rose from the statement cabled here from Yoko- hama that news had been received of the battle which took place on the 11th between Chinese and Japanese fleets and the Chinese were driven off.
 Inquiries made at the Japanese Iega- tion here fail to obtain any confirmation of the reported sinking of the seven Chinese war vessels. The engagement referred to probably consisted in the at- tack made, according to Shanghai dis patches of Aug. 1, by the Japanese on Wei Hai Vie and on Port Arthur. It was stated, however, that the Japanese were repulsed.
