NEW YORK, September 2t-Some stock

Chinese Water Cabs.

From LeSlie's weekly.
The sampans are the cabs of Hong
kong and other South China ports. All
travellers have to come by steamer, and, I'M
less a launch is available, visitors must
take sampan for the transfer of them
selves and their lighter baggage to the
shore. 1t seems impossible at first sight
that .there should be sufficient passengers
for such vast numbers OF sampans, but
when 1T -is remembered that the port of
Hongkong Is second only to London in the
tonnage passing annually through its
waters, 1t Is not SO surprising, since all the
crew who can get leave must necessarily
take sampan to get ashore, to say nothing
of officers and passengers, when no launch
es are available.
The sampap itself is a marvel Of compact
ness. It is quite small, about thirty feet
by six feet, capable of carrying one small
sail. The deck of the boat is removable
and the under part Is arranged in three
separate compartments. In the stern when
the boards are lifted, the storehouse of the
family is discovered; the old rags that form
the bedding are kept there. and the pre-
ting and all the indescribable accumula-
tions of numerous family.
The center OF the sampan boasts a shelter
of bent bamboo, with a tarpaulin stretched
across. This is In the daytime reserved for

A TIGER STONED TO DEATH.
The Punishment of a Man-Eater That
Killed a Tibetan.
From the Youths Companion

From the Youths Companion.
Fifty years ago tigers were very common
even in the high hills of western Tibet,
writes c. A. Sherring in his account of
that country. At the present time, how
ever, owing to the increase of population
and the general spread of cultivation, they
have become rare. and the appearance of
a man-eater who carried off a poor old
woman on the slope Of Chipla created
CONSERVATION.
On the following day there were gath
cred together a hundred grim men, armed
only with axes and stones, for they had
not gun among them.
Fortune favored the brave, for the tiger
was found asleep under a rock AT once
each man dropped silently into the cover
Of the brushwood and piled a heap OF
stones near to his hand, while one of the
most trusted of the party was commits
stoned to stalk to the top of the rock and
drop a huge stone on the sleeping brute.
So well was the work done that the stone
fell true on the tiger back, and imme-
diately with roar the wounded beast
sprang up, and seeing his enemies who
leaped from their cover, charged the line.
But hundred men, desperate as to con-
sequences, throwing stones with might and
main, are not to be awed or turned from
their purpose lightly. The stones broke
the tigers teeth and went into his mouth,
and his body soon became a mass of
wounds.
Turning he tried to escape and took
his pursuers up hill for mile; but wher-
ever he paused and whatever he did he
could not escape the pitiless rain of mis-
siles. The blow on his back. first given
effectually checked his speed, and finally
worn out he came to bay under a great
cliff.
The rest was easy. He was Immediately
hemmed in, and the stones were showered
on him thicker than er and hurled with
Tedoubled energy. AS he sank down the
villagers rushed in and despatched him
with their axes.

CONNECTICUT INDIANS.
Remnants of Schagticooke Tribe Still
Living in Kent.

From the Hartford Courant.
Among the last remnants of the Indian
tribes once inha biting Connecticut are the
Schagticookes, living within the borders OF
the town of Kent, not far from the New
York line, where they have existed for
nearly two hundred years. There are
twenty-five of them not on their reserva-
ton, and it is supposed that there may be
three times as many more scattered about
the state. Those that are left are half
breeds or quarter-breeds. Their business
affairs are cared for by Fred r. Lane. their
overseer leaving them free to spend their
time in hunting fishing or making baskets.
The story of the Schagticookes is that OF
nearly all Indian tribes. But once in their
history were they oppressed, and then not
by Connecticut men. The tribe was formed
of the wreckage of once powerful bands,
and dates well back into the eighteenth
century, when Pequot, Gideon Mauwehu,
founded it. This Indian, who was evidently
q man of more than ordinary ability, once
lived IN Derby, and he first appears In Con-
necticut records being one of thirteen
Indians who. in 1929, sold a section of land,
then a part of the town of New Fairfield.
to few white men for f60 the land thus
transferred comprising what is now the
town of Sherman. Mauwehu then went
across the line into New York and re-
manned for a short time, when he CHANGED

town of Kent, and caught the idea of
forming settlement there.
Mauwehu then gathered to himself
crowd of Indians. some being it is sup
posed, of his own tribe. some Mohegans
from the Hudson valley and most of the
Waramaugs from New Milford, until prob
ably upward of two hundred settled with
him in the Kent hills. where they deemed
the white man would not come. Hardly
had they established themselves there be-
fore they were found by those inveterate
missionaries. the Moravians, who labored
faithfully among them. the leader Of the
mission band being Christian Henry Rauch
who in due time converted Mauwehu and
upward of one hundred and fifty others.

OYSTERS AND TYPHOID.
Trouble Attributed to the Practice Of
Bleaching and Fattening.
From What to Eat

From What to Eat.
Investigation has shown that oysters
eaten raw frequently cause typhoid. Not
the thin, grayish oysters, fresh from the
briny deep, but those which, in consequence
of the consumers demand that the biyalve
be good to his sight as well as to his per-
verted taste. are subjected to bleaching
process which makes them plump as WELL
To secure this appearance the salt water
product is placed in fresh water, frequently
in fresh water streams. This bleaches them,
and owing to the fact that nowadays few
fresh water streams are pure, that the
oyster absorbs so much water that 1t APP
pears plump and that it's digestive func-
tons are retarded by the unnatural condi-
lions, any bacilli in the water absorbed
rapidly multiply, thus injecting the oyster.
This infected food, often shipped long
distances, becomes menace to the health
of whole communities. This practice Of
bleaching and fattening the oyster certainly
should be discouraged by epicureans and
consumers in general.
