After residing in the Rhode Island

of dividing her estate between her

Mangalore, include, it appears, a clan
who have become tree dwellers by ne

protect themselves against attacks of
elephants and other wild beasts of the
jungle. Their clothing consists of the
bark of certain kinds of jungle trees,
and they subsist on yams and meat.
They are dark skinned and noted for
their fine physique, the women being
even more muscular than the men, and
one of their chief occupations is honey
gathering. a very dangerous employ

their honeycombs on the treetops. Of

SELECT CULLINGS
The Wonders Of Red Tane.

This story Of official stupidity bound
with red tape comes from France. a
farmers boy had a row with his mas
ter and hanged himself on a tree on
the railway embankment near Auden-
court. The local official of BerHy hav-
ing been informed of the act, went in
haste to the place and was just about
to cut down the boy when it occurred
to him that perhaps the tree was not
in his bailiwick. He accordingly then
went for his colleague of Troilsvilles,
with whom he had long and heated
argument on the spot of the suicide.
Maps having been duly consulted, it
was decided that the tree grew neither
in Bertry nor Troisvilles, but in Au-
dencourt The matter having already
been called to the attention of this
official without result, an appeal wss
made to the central authority at eau
dry. A detachment of soldiers was
accordingly sent from this place,
which cut down the body. By this
time it was twenty-five hours since the
lad had hanged himself and of course
he was dead, but this seems by no
means certain to have been the condi-
ton when the first officer reached the
place.
