A Tribe.

An officer Of native troops was on
outpost duty at Fort Stedman. in the
Shan Highlands, Burmah, and a
sent on an expedition to a wild part
OF the interior, where presumably foot
OF white man had never trod before.
Here he came acros a tribe called
"Paloungs." He observed the women
we're decorated with curious coils Of
brass around neck, arms and legs, and
on inquiry found that it was a canon
of unwritten law that all the high
er-grade ladies be thus adorned. He
was Mortified to be an eye witness of
the operation, the coils being put on
a young girl of II, who lay s%hrieking
and firmly held to the ground while
the rods were bent and hammered on.
The neck coil has the effect of a gigan-
tic spring. elongating the muscles into
a curious deformity. Each well-born
ringed lady has a child following her
with a pannikin Of water, when in hot
sun, to sprinkle the coil. as the brass
gets intolerably hot, and testers the
skin into horrible sores. This Is one
of the most curious customs ever heard
Of and in spite of the pain is willing
ly adhered to, as showing high rank in
the wearer.-London Sunday Maya

NEED HAVE NO FEARS.

Some have been inclined to the be
lief that business would be disturbed
by the change in the administration.
There is no cause for alarm. President
Roosevelt is a man of sterling ipteg-
rity and his life work has been the
study of correct methods of govern
ment. Aside from this he has express
ed his intention of carrying out the
policy outlined by his great predeces-
sor, and he will do it.. If Theodore
Roosevelt ever errs it will be in the
cause of the right.
He is the youngest man that has be-
come president of the United States.
but his life has BEN one of intense &C
tivity. 1t is his belief that every per
son should make the most of this life
and that all should exert every energy
in bringing out all that is in them. to
the end thai humanity shall profit
thereby.
Those who believe that President
Roosevelt will err are doomed to dis,

clear of him; he's dangerous! And
here's the reason. sir: The big trunk
