TRIBUTE PAID BY ENGLAND.
Tribes Near the Brahmaputra, In
India, Hired Not to Plunder
the Plantations.

They are strange people who inhab-
it the valley of the Brahmaputra, the
largest teaprodueing tract in India.
This territory is bounded on the north
by range upon range of mountains,
starting with hills which rise to a few
hundred feet above the level OF the
plains, and eliminating in the snowy
peaks of the Himalayas.
In these hills, between Thibet and
British territory, live a number of indie
pendent tribes, of Mongolian origin,
who, secure in their rocky Businesses,
owe no allegiance to any civilized
power.
At the beginning of the century, when
the Assam Raj was breaking up, and
the ra jahs were unable to protect
their frontiers, these tribes used to de-
scend from their hills and levy black
mail upon the villages near the border.
In course of time these exactions OBJ
tained the sanction of custom, and when
Assam was added to the domains of
the company Hahadur, the hillmeIi
claimed the right to levy tax in kind
on settlers in the submountain tracts.
The directors consented to acknowl-
edge this claim to blackmail, but de-
cIined to allow the borderers to be their
own taxgatherers. and commuted all
in cash by government itself, thus OBJ
taining q power of control over the
tribes which has since been frequently
used to good effect rs,
: It is easy for body of freebooters to
slip down, harry asyillage, and reti1rn
long before the alarm is given; and a
system of outposts along the frontier.
which would render such raids impossi-
Bile, can be maintained only at great
expense. while punitive expedition is
even more costly, the tribes retiring
quietly and leaving nothing but few
huts to burn.
The gentle savage is, however, by no
means free from gold hunger and the
reflection that little outbreak by one
of the Young bloods means the stop
, page of government revenue for the
whole tribe has most deterrent effect.
Every cold weather, the hiflmen come
down to the plains to receive their
..posa,' as it is called, or government
grant. They report on the character OF
the snowfall in their hills during the
previous year--information which is
taken into account when forecasting
the coming rainfail-and of the exist
ence of disturbances amongst them, and
offer to government paitry gift OF a
few bamboo bows and arrows in re-
turn for a large bag of rupees.-London

he endeavored to Tighten it, it struck
in tree in q forest some miles away,

start froIn Reno with a troop of cav

which has been prepared at a pack

TIE ration is put up in an elliptical
can eight inches. long. Each days
food weighs a pound, and each can
contains thyee cakes of sweet ehoco-
late and three cakes of a food prepara-
ton composed Of meat and grain
compound. The latter, which tastes
not unlike parched corn, with slight
flavor of meat, is very palatable. It
can be eaten uncooked, made into a
porridge or a soup, OF it can be made
into mush and then fried.
Each can contains small packages
Of salt and pepper. The effect Of the
food on the men will be carefully

Frank C. Bostock, Manager of Zoo,
Is Rescued from Death by
Woman:

Frank C. Bostock, manager of the
Hagen beck zoo, which is wintering at
Kansas City, Mo-. was terribly bitten
and lacerated by Brutus, the big lion
which has already MANNED several men.
He was saved from being killed by the
energetic action of Nine. Pianka, the
lion tanner.
At the afternoons rehearsal. Just
prior to the public performance, Nine.
Pianka had trouble with Spitfre,
sulky lionness, and called Manager
Bostock to- her assistance. Bostick
entered the cage cracking his whip and
striking at Spitfre. AS he did so Bru-
tus, with a savage roar, sprang upon
him, sinking his teeth to the bone in
Bostock's thigh and lacerating the VIC
TINS back terribly with his claws.
Nine. Pianka fired several blank
cartridges from her revolver full in
Brutus' face and was about to fire the
one ball cartridge when the beast
loosened his hold. Nine. Pianka then
threw her arms about the animals neck
and held him while Bostock was re-
moved from the cage by attendants.
Bostoek, while dangerously hurt, will
probably recover.

IRISH BELIEF IN FAIRIES.
The story of a Lost Child Who Was
Found Recently by Smoking
Out the SDrites.

In village in the west of Ireland
few weeks ago child wandered away
into the country and was lost. Its anx-,
ious parents, after weary and unavail-
ing search, reported the matter to the
constable in charge of the village. After
carefully questioning them he told
them that any further search for the
child would be useless without certain
preliminaries, because it was clear to
him that the poor child had been car
ried eff by the fairies, according to
their well-knowna custom The consta-
BILE told them to make fire and burn
in It as much of certain herb as they.
could find. They did so at once. Then,
according to his instructions, they went
again in search OF the child. He had de-
aclared that the smoke of the burning
herb would force the fairies to bring.
the child back, and, sure enough, On
going over the ground they had preyi-i
ously searched, they found The little
boy asleep beside q stream, says the.
New York Sun.
The reputation and authority Of that
constable have, now increased hun
dredfold in all the countryside, and
3 fGAJ Lew hoOSChOAoC4S Ia taAOSG' PoA -
now have the temerity to risk offending
"the good people, as they call the
fairies (much as the Greeks used to call
the furies ..the Eumenides," or we'll
wishing ones), by omitting to leave out
every night the traditional bowl OF milk
and the griddfe cake for their benefit
The constable himself believes his
charm brought the child back. Yet,
like all the Royal Irish constabulary, he
has had to pass fairly stiff examine
ton in order to be received into the
service.
