HOME LIFE OF THE VEDDAS.
Wild People Of Ceylon, Who inhabit
Caves, Have Many Of the PRINT
tive Virtues.

OF the curious customs observed by
the Veddas, or wild people Of Ceylon.
a traveller writes: "All the men came
to meet us and led the way to the
caves. which were completely hid
den by thicket On the rocky plat
form in front of the cave the men all
surrounded US shouting to their wom-
en- to come and see their white sis
ter-in-law' or cousin Veddas have
always been renowned for their truth
fulness and this reputation we are
able to indorse. Each community has
its own hunting ground, and adheres
strictly to its own game rights. Upon
each hunting ground there are a num-
Der of caves and rock shelters, and the
families of the community move from
one to another throughout the year,
as the presence Of game, honey, yams
or fish demands. The big caves are
communal property, the smaller caves
usually belong to single families; but
even in the communal caves each fam
lily has its particular place in which its
members sleep, cook, eat and keep all
their belongings.
Each family respects the pri-
vacy of its neighbors' few feet OF the
cave floor as faithfully as II partition
walls existed; only the children roam
all over the cave at will. Food, how
ever, seemed to be public property, for
one woman would cook food and share
it with every one present in the cave.
This may probably be explained as
follows: The communal caves are sit
uatcd in common hunting ground !;
therefore all the game, yams, iguanas
or honey brought in from the com
mon land is the property OF the com.
munity, not Of the man who pro
cures 1t.
Il have stated that the smaller
caves are usually private property. 1t
would probably be more correct to say
that Veddas possess private hunting
grounds on which very frequently
there are small caves. such caves be-
ing then the property of the owner
of the land. When a man is living
in his own cave in the midst of his
own hunting ground the produce OF
the chase would naturally be his own
though shared with any one living
with him. Women and children al
ways Jared as well as the men, and
] the former would be fed first in any
time of scarcity. Indeed, the dainties
were often saved for the children"

AN APPLE ORCHARD.
The Easiest Money Maker on the
Farm, and Also the Most
Neglected.

Now and then we hear of farmers
with an apple orchard who cannot see
that 1t will pay them to take good
care of It, In one case a farmer sold
apples enough from his orchard to buy
ten good cows for his dairy. yet he
cannot see that 1t would pay for him
TO spray and prune the trees. There
is some scale in this orchard, and
the fruit is usually wormy. Taken in
hand now with oil and later with ar
senic for the codling worm this or.
chard would give the easiest money on
the farm. We would like to shake
such men up and make them see the
future. says the Rural New Yorker
The demand for good apples is sure
to increase, while bearing trees are
not keeping pace with this demand
Young trees are being planted, bu,
many orchards are dying through laci
of care Do not under any circum
stances neglect good apple trees. Sta,
by them with all the care you car
muster.
