The Haumbises Indians. living in the

southern boundary of Ecuador. follow
one OF the most remarkable vocatlons
in the world. They are able, by a
process known only to that tribe, to
reduce the human head to one-third
its original size and retain the fea-
lures and coloring to a perfect degree
The head is severed from the trunk
the skull and frontal bone are remov-
ed and in the cavity a soft mold Of
clay is fitted. It is then hung by the
scalp from tripod over a pot OF boil
ing water and steamed for three days
After this the shrinking process be
gins which requires skill and is
secret that the Indians guard jealous

lists at S1.5o each, but as the tribe l.
savage and the comp1exity of civilian
ton has not mastered them, it is diff

A native officer of India writes of
the native soldiers: 1.-The Sikhs or re-
formed HIrdoos have all the qualities
of the best fighters. and the Indians
as well as their fellow subjects In
Europe have indeed reason to be proud
of them. There are two other castles
in the Punjab also noted for their fight
ing qualities, the Jats and the Dogras.
Another great fighting race in the Pun
lab inhabiting the northwestern part
are commonly known as the Pathans.
They are now Mohammedans by faith.
The Gurkhas of Nepal, the only indie
pendent state In India, though general
" below average height have proved
themselves the most indomitnble,
brave and hardy hill fighters. Euro
pean officers attached to Gurkha regi
ments love their men and are proud
of them. Their free and easy man
ners. abstemious habits cheerful dis
position, bravery in the field of war
or of sport help to raise them in the

He should have watched her that

house in charge of an old servant and
to learn that-the young mistress had

alarmed, and as night came he could
hardly sit still The night passed with
