LATEST MEN IN THE WORLD.
Stories Told of Hill Tribe in india
Women Who Build Huts.

In these days of push and energy
It sounds strange to talk Of people as
being lazy, and still the Todas, a hill
tribe of India, are the LATEST people
in the world.
The Todas are not ashamed of
their reputation and are free to con-
fess that they know of nothing so
foolish and stupid as work. Their
one and only pursuit is the raising
of buffaloes; they are far too indo-
lent to follow the chase. An ak is
their only weapon, although they
know how to make others. They use
this for waging war and for Telling
trees. They will not till the land,
considering this unnecessary labor.
To make housekeeping easier, all
their natural products arc held in
common; the idea of property Is only
restricted to the hut, its contents
and live stock.
The buffaloes, which they own in
large quantity furnish them with
skins for clothing and the hut and
the meat is used as food. But milk is
even relish the idea of milking their
cattle; the head mixers are the only
ones that are to be persuaded to do
this labor. These men are chosen
from the class of "peiki" or sons
of God" They are the priests and
practice celibacy. Although the
priests tend to the cattle, each house
holder owns his cattle.
Much as these men dislike the car
ing for their cattle they find farming
q less dignifed calling. Some years
ago they went to war with their
neighbors, the Badaga and Kotas, as
they might be able to levy tax of
one eighth of their grain products.
When their grain grows scarce they
live on roots and berries. They will
sell their land or give it away, but
they will not cultivate il at any price.
Strangely, their appearance does
not disclose this most marked char
acteristic. They are tall and well
proportioned They look like Ro-
man Senators, as they walk. wrapped
in skins resembling the ancient toga.
Their appearance is not only prepos-
sessing but bold and self-reliant.
Many an amusing story is told OF
this small hill tribe, numbering
about 400 men. An American mis-
sionary was working among them,
when one day he saw some women
and boys building a hut of bamboo.
He inquired why the men were not
performing this labor, and one wo-
man explained: Husband mine
don't work; me and boys build
house.
The missionary made no further
comment, but when the hut was
built he told the husband that he
must build another hut, as he could
not live in a home made by women
and children. But the surprised Toda
answered: mo, no, me no work;
man has boys and wife to work"
The Toda meant what he said.
Although the missionary argued, and
finally horsewhipped the native, he
could not get him to build a hut

Didn't Want to BE Bothered.

Bankers Convention in Wilkesbarre,

Depositors:
"A depositor in a neighboring
trust company is an eccentric farmer
of middle age, This farmer, though
he is wealthy, overdrew his account
one day to the tune of five hundred
dollars.
Notification of the overdraft was
at once sent to him.
He replied:
You tell me | have overdrawn my
account five hundred dollars. Well,
/ know it. So what is the necessity
of bothering me about it? Why not
trust me as | do you? Do go to you
when I have money in your institu-
tion and shout, You have five hun

EDIsON's OBVIOUS INVENTIONS.
Why He Would Like the Aid of Some
Judges.

Thomas A. Edison recently made
suggestion by which a common fail
ing of judges may be turned to ac-
count. The patent law demands that
an invention shall show more evil
dences of Imagination than are re-
quired in the ordinary makeshift i'm
provementS that are made every day
in machine shops; and yet the SIM
plest devices are the most effective
and the most profitable. The Fed
eral courts have several times inval-
idated Mr.. Edisons patents on the
ground that the improvements made
by his devices were obvious" solu-
tions of the mechanical problems,
and, therefore, not patentable. AS
in many problems that require hard
study, the solutions did seem obvious
enough-afterward
Not long ago Mr.. Edison was try
ing to work out a new piece of mech
anism. 1t seemed a simple enough
problem when he began it, but it
proved to be extremely difficult. AT
ter several days eXasperatingly fu-
tile work his attorney happened to
ask him how it was coming along.
mo good, yet" replied Mr.. Edison,
but of course the thing is perfectly
obvious. | wish you'd bring a COM
mittee of those fellow judges down
here that are always saying that. If
this thing is so almighty obvious per-
haps they can tell me how to make
it. it."-Harpers Weekly.

ANCIENT USAGE OF THE FoRi.
On Being Invited Out One Furnish,;
His Knife and Fork.

The first mention of the use OF
forks in history was at the table of
JOIN, the good Duke of Burgundy,
and he only possessed two, one of
.n'd and the other of silver. At that
period the loaves of bread were
wade cylindrical. They were cut in
slices and piled upon a trcncher and
placed beside the host, who carved
Che meat with pointed carving
knife, holding the joint with skew
er OF wrought gold or silver, which
he stuck into the joint to hold 1t Sc
cure while cutting the meat. Hav-
ing cut the meat in slices. he took It
on the point of the knife and placed
1t on a slice of bread, which was
served to the guest. This ancient
custom of serving meat is still prac-
ticed in some hamlets on the CONT
nent of Europe. This decoration Is
still the vogue in our delicatessen
stores. When it first became custo-
mary to use forks a gentleman on re-
ceipt of an invitation to dinner
would send his servant with his
knife. fork and spoon, or, If he had
no servant, he would carry them in
his breechos pockets, as a carpenter
carries his rule to-day. This an
cient custom still obtains among the
peasantry of the Tyrol and some
parts of Germany and Switzerland,
they carrying their knife, fork and
spoon in a case. Sometimes all three
are found together, with a rivet
through the extreme end of the
handle.
This form of feeding, understand.
is generally used in all places in
Italy, their forks being for the most
part made of iron or steel, and some
of silver; but those are used only by
gentlemen. The reason of this their
curiosity is. because the Italian can
not by any means endure to have his
dish touched with fingers, seeing all
mems fingers are not alike clean.
Hereupon | myself thought good to
initiate the Italian fashion of this
forked cutting of meat, not only
while | was in Italy, but also in Ger
many, and oftentimes in England
since | came home.
The use of forks was at first much
ridiculed in England as an effemi-
nate piece of finery. In one of Beau
mont and Fletcher's plays your
fork carving traveller" is spoken of
with much contempt, and Ben JON
son has joined in the laugh against
them in his Devils an Ass."-New

Underground Wonder.

At Medina, Italy, is large tract
in which, when the well-diggers got
siXty-three feet from the surface,
they came to a bed of chalk. Through
this they bored with an augur just
five feet. They then withdrew from
the pit before the augur was re-
moved and upon its extraction the
water burst through the aperture
with great violence, and quickly
filled the newly made well, which
was afterwards affected neither by
rain nor drought. At another point,
at the depth of fourteen feet, were
found the ruins of an ancient city,
paved streets, houses, floors and diff
ferent pieces of mason work. Un-
der this was earth made of vegetable
matter, and at twenty-siX feet large
trees entire, such as walnut trees
with the walnuts sticking to the
stems, and the leaves and branches
In perfect preservation. At twenty
eight feet chalk was found mixed
with shells, the bed being eleven feet
thick. Under this vegetables were
found again
