PIGMY FREAKS OF PAMIR.
People and Animals Diminutive-
Dwarfs of the Amazon.
From Pearson's Weekly.

from Pearsons Weekly.
The pigmies at present in England are
giants compared with some of the tribes of
natives who inhabit the wild, desolate and
almost unknown Pamir plateau to the
northwest Of the Hindoo Koosh range of
mountains in Central Asia. So great is the
altitude of this great tableland that geogra-
piers refer to it as the roof of the world
Few, indeed, are the travellers or explorers
who have ever ventured even onto its south
ern fringe, lying just beyond the northwest
frontier of India.
But the scientific world is being startled
by the news which is leaking out of the re-
suits of the explorations by the two Dan
ish officers, Messrs Oloufsen and Philipsen,
who have recently penetrated into some
strange corners of this hitherto mysterious
region. They have an astounding tale to
tell. But they have brought back with them
over 300 photographs incontestably proving
what they say. In parts of the Pamirs. it
appears, the people are not only all dwarfs,
but the very animals of the district, wild
and domestic, are correspondingly dminu-
tive in stature.
The full-grown men and women are rarely
a yard high Their donkeys and their
horses, which in appearance resemble our
smallest ponies, are about the size of large
dogs. The bulls and cows-ferce little
creatures-are no larger than a newborn
European calf and the sheep are about the
size of small poodles. Tigers no larger than
kittens are said to infest the hills.
Smaller and lower even in the human
scale, however, than these Asiatic pigmies
are some creatures which the natives of the
great Congo basin in Africa call Kaieke and
will insist are men and not beasts.
The kaieke are said to have very long
hair, small, keen eyes, to be very wild
never coming into towns-and only to be
seen in the bush. where they sometimes try
to hold converse with the natives
Another race of dwarfs, discovered by a
J. D. Sullivan on one of the tributaries of
the Amazon, are people remarkable chief
ly for their ugliness. Their stomach, which
is distended in the back as we'll as in front
is out of all proportion to their tiny spin
ding arms and legs. This is because oftheir
habit of gorging. After a hunt they will eat
like animals and then lie listlessly in the
hot tropical sun for days. till hunger again
impels them to get more game,
In the same way among the wandering
African pigmies a slain elephant becomes
the site of new camp until all its flesh is
consumed, when the little men move off in
search of fresh quarry, which they blind
before spearing to death by shooting poi
soned arrows into their eyes. Individual pig
mics, however. 1t Is said, may also be en-
countered in the villages of the big negroes,
where they are petted as curiosities.

LIEUT.. WILD's DEATH.
Believed That He Stumbled and Fell
From a Wharf.

The drowning of Second Lieut. John v
Wild of the revenue cutter service which
occurred at Seattle, Wash. October -, has
just been officially reported on by Capt.
w. II. Roberts of the cutter Perry.
According to Capt. Roberts. Lieut. Wild,
who was a son of Capt John f. Wild of
Baltimore and a native OF this city. was
in the ward room of the Perry conversing
with Others when he began looking for his
cap, and. not finding it, took that of As
sistant Engineer Burns and went on deck.
He told the quartermaster that be go
ing to the office of Moran Bros, who owned
the wharf where the Perry was then re-
ceiving repairs. He said he would be back
In a few minutes, but he was never seen
alive again. The body was recovered by
graphing and inquest returned YER
diet of accidental drowning.
1t was supposed that Lieut.. Wild stumble ed

he fell about twenty feet, and as no out
cry was heard 1t was supposed that his
head struck one of the logs of the wharf.

How Witch Hazel Shoots It's Seeds.

From the Country Life in America
Do you know that the witch hazel shoots
its seeds ten or fifteen feet? If you want a
brand-new sensation, bring home some
branches of witch hazel having both flowers
and unopened seed pods on them and put
them in vases of water
The pods burst at the most unexpected
times, waking you in the night and pepper
ing you with their hard, shiny. black seeds.
Branches that are to be used for a party
must be selected with care. TO be sure of
having perfectly fresh flowers and seed
pods that have not opened If 1t is posi-
BILE to do so, cut them the same day they
are needed.
If they must be cut the day before they
are needed, put them in a cold place in
water and wrap a damp cloth around the
branches, in order to prevent the flowers
from whitening and to keep the seeds from
being expelled too soon.
