= Stranger.
There is q very singular race OF
people in Sumatra, the Kubus. who
are too timorous and shy to mix with
the other races Of the island, and
dwell IN the recesses of the forests.
They are looked on as interiors by
the Malays, and thought to be little
better than beasts. Such is their shy
ness that they will never willingly
face a stranger.
Their trade with the Malayans is
consequently carried on in a strange
manner. The trader announces his
arrival by beating gong, and he then
retires The Kubus approach. put their
forest treasures on the ground. beat

The trader returns, and lays his
commodities down in quantities sum.
Client, as he thinks, for the purchase
Of the goods on sale. Then he retires
and the Kubus reappear and consider
the bargain.
And SO, after more Withdrawals and
approaches and gong beatings, the re
spective parties come to an under
standing. and carry of independent!
their bargains.
The Kubus live on snakes, grubs

pigs they can slay. They are skilfu

Standing Firm.
Philadelphia.--Th end of the first
week of idleness in the anthracite coal
region, following President Mitchell's
order suspending mining operations
pending the results of the negotiations
of the operators and the miners repre-

workers stanch in the support of
Mitchell, with no sign of wavering. 1t
cannot be said that the optimistic
views held by the mine workers dur
ing the early part of the suspension
are so generally entertained, but there
appears to be no lack of confidence in
President Mitchell's judgment. This
was evidenced at the meetings Of the
miners locals which were held
throughout the region during the hat

were adopted expressing confidence in

fatigued when he boarded the steamer,
and during the entire voyage suffered

Probably not one person in hundred
