The Rubber Forests of Upper Burma
From the London Times.


Mr.. H. ~ Thompson assistant conserv-
ator of forests in Burma, in a recent re-
port on the forests of the Hukong valley
and the Tipped Namkong basin. in Upper
Burma, devotes a section to the produce

may be seen, but as a rule a mature tree
is found every 200 or 300 yards in the
richer forests. When the tree is surround

some of those examined by Mr.. Thomp-
son were the largest trees of any species
he had ever seen. In the thick forest
he found no seedlings in the ground; they
were invariably growing al a great hight
on other trees and sending their roots
down toward the ground so that the roots
finally formed great supports on which the
main trunk rested, while the original tree
on which the Seeding was a parasite was
destroyed. The difficulties of transport
from Hukong valley are increasing as tho
more accessible trees are being worked
out. A Chinaman has a practical mo-
nopoly of the trade here. The rubber
is taken to Mogaung, route across the
mountains to Myitkina having been ADAM
doned, owing to the exactions of the Sana
Kachins. The forests at the head of the
NamkOng are rich IN rubber, and the tree
attains a hight of 200 feet, with an enor-
nous girth
The Kachins go from far and near to
collect the rubber in the dry season, and
the chiefs levy toll on the produce as 1t
passes down the rivers. The Chinese con-
troll the trade, selling provisions and cloth

produce of the forests within the drainage
area of the Tarou river goes to Assam,
across the passes of the Patkoi NOUN
tains. The Nagas, having got in their
crops in December, set off, for the rubber
forests, where they know every tree, the
knowledge being in many cases passed
on from father to son. Rubber in this
district is said to be growing scarcer, and

WOMEN WHITE INSIDE
A Touching Tribute to the Worth OF
the Abyssinian of the GentIer Sex
From the Pan Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Maj. Camera, who was made prisoner
at the battle of Adowa, and whose hair
turned completely white with his suffer
ings while in Abyssinia, has published a
book giving an account Of the ten months
of his captivity. He pays a feeling and
genuine tribute to the Abyssinian womea.
The Ethiopian woman is obliged to work
hard all day. hewing wood and drawing
water, grinding the grain, and preparing
the household food. To the men is re-
served the task of sewing and weaving,
which they are very clever at. The GUS
toms of the people are quite patriarchal,
the head of the family being often like
sultan in miniature. with a small harem
of slaves. The legitimate wife, if she
protests at all, does so meekly as women,
even in that part of Africa, are consider
ed little better than beasts of burden, and
the Copt religion as 1t is understood, espe-
cially among the Amhara, has not the
power to raise her from her state of infe
riority Maj Camera paints a picture
truly touching of the tenderness to suffer
ing and the charity and sef-sacritce,
which are not found in isolated cases, but
are general among these down-trodden
souls. He speaks of a certain kongetu
an old and ugly woman, who was an angel
of charity to many of the prisoners, but
especially to the major. She shared their
sadness she gathered and prepared the
primitive medicines of herbs used there
and when she saw them depressed used to
cry, Agar! Agari! Utaly! ItalyD adding
that Menelik was good and would free
them. When she understood that in Italy
there were mothers, wives and sisters
weeping for them she began to cry, and
they in turn were the comforters The
first woman Maj. Camera met was when
his feet were all cut and bleeding, owing
to marching without shoes, so that he was
in extreme pain. Sellas, a poor slave of
Ras Workie seeing his sufferings, took
the white linen she wore from her head
divided it into two pieces. and bandaged
his feet. This was an act of real self
sacrifice, as such piece of linen in Schoa
and Goggiam is precious treasure. 1t
was all the more wonderful that a slave
should make such a sacrifice for a stran-
ger, and he a captive. After ten months
the day at last came for Maj. Camera to
leave for Italy. He rose early and went
to take leave of his true friends Kon-
geitu was i'll. She showed herself, and
really was glad al his liberation; but
when the moment of parting came she
could not conceal her bitter grief

HE'S AN AMERICAN.
Osmnn Pasha Said to be Colonel
CrawfOrd-"A Daredevil"

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Pittshurg, Pa, April 25.-Police Sergeant
John Holiday of this city says the report
that Osman Pasha was born in Asia Minor
is incorrect. He says that the pasha's
real name is Crawford and that he was
born in East Tennessee So years ago.
He was appointed as a cadet to West
Point, but got into trouble with his SUI
perior officers, and was dismissed in dis
grace for INSTRUMENTATION. When the war
broke out he raised the First Tennessee
battery and was commissioned captain In
1868 he was authorized TO raise a regiment
of artillery and succeeded in organizing
five batteries.
In 1854 Holiday says, Col Crawford as
he was then called. was dismissed from the
service on a charge of appropriating gov
eminent property to his own use. He
then went to Mexico, where he obtained
a commission in the Mexican army Craw-
ford continued in the Mexican army and
then became wealthy through his inter-
ests In some mines. When peace was re-
stored Crawford resigned his commission
and went to New Jersey, where he pur-
chased an estate, but soon grew tired of
leading such quiet life.
His next step was to join the Turkish
army, where he rapidly rose to the front
ana won great distinction at the battle
of Plevna in the Russo-Turkish war. Hol-
liday, who was first lieutenant in Battery
c of the First Tennessee Artillery, of
which Crawford was colonel, relates many
interesting incidents regarding the man.
About Feb. /, 1854, said Sergt Holiday
to-day, Col. Crawford and l started out
from Camp Nelson. KY, to go to Knox
vile, Tenn. When we arrived at Cum
berland Gap we discovered that Pegram's
division of confederate cavalry was lying
at Lazearrl, u miles below the gap. We
could not get through with the ambulance,
and Col Crawford decided at last that he
would take one of the horses and attempt
to ride through to Knoxville. About 8
o'clock in the evening he started, but al
midnight he returned, minus the horse,
his hat. coat and saber
He encountered the enemy and had to
take to the brush The man was dare
devil, but was very popular with his men,
and his command would have followed
him anywhere.

that he decided to treat his men, and
went down to Lexington, where he got
two barrels of whisky. When he arrived
in camp with the whisky he placed dip

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
