ALONG THE INDIAN FRoNTEF
kachins Are Wild and Warlike Pc. pie, but Are Most Hospitable to
 Travellers.

"Hidden in the mountains on DotA side of the frontier road are v1llagea of Kachins. wild and warlike race which causes much anxiety to the Cnl'i nese and to the peaceful Shans lnnao' ting the neighboring valleys, writes Archibald Rose, British consul al Yunan China, in an article descrlb- ing the Chinese Frontier of India" 0Tbe men are keen looking felloWs' who spend their days in sharpening their dhas, or long two handed sWords' their nights in drinking and In mar. rying the marches. The purdens ol life are literally, borne by their Wom- en folk, long trains of whom are met along the roads, carrying on thelr backs great baskets of grain depend ing from a strap across thelr lore- heads. while their hands are busy spinning strands of cotton yarn, or weaving a straw bracelet for their sweethearts, as they toll up the noun tain slopes They wear a short Kilt, supported by numbers of loose rat tan girdles, the lobes of their ears are pierced and distended to carry long tubes of silver or rolls of red cloth, and their faces are coarsened by hard times.
 "They are hospitable to people, these Kachins, offering a welcome to any passing traveller without question or hope of reward. This spirit of hos pitality, indeed, is carried to point which might almost be considered ex- travagance. I remember a case at recent frontier meeting in which a transfrontier Kaehin appeared as the complainant He had accepted an in vitation to dinner, dined not wisely, but too well, and fallen down preci- pice on his way home.
 "The result was broken leg, and, in consequence, he now appeared in court to sue his host for damages. The erring host paid up quite cheer fully, and the international incident was thus amicably settled over the body of sacrificial pig"

In ThankfuIness.

Notwithstanding all that I have suffered, notwithstanding all the pain and weariness and anxiety and sor-' row that necessarily enter into life, and the inward errings that are worse than all I would end my record with a devout thanksgiving to the great author my being. For more and moro am l unwilling to make any gratitude to him what is commonly called "a thanksgiving for mercies,"-fo any benefits or blessings that are peculiar to myself, or my friends, or indeed to any man. Instead of this I would have it to be gratitude for all that be- longs to my life and being-for joy and sorrow, for health and sickness. for success and disappointment, for virtue and for temptation, for life and death; because I believe that all is meant for good.-Orville Dewey.

 one detail in Stradanus drawing deserves spe- claI notice, l. e.. the turnedup heads of the two herons at which hawks are about to stop. It sno"s that the artist fully believed the legend sancuoned even by such late writers as Walter Scott' that the heron when hard pressed and stopped at by the hawk will point his beak up- wards and thus receive the descending enemy upon US point, thereby infctng serious injury. not Killing him outright. According to modern experts this pretty story has no foundation in 1act.

The Eat Rooster.

Very few people credit chickens with having much sense; but at least one young rooster proved, without doubt that he was wiser than he looked. This cockerel has a habit of ruffling up his feathers during feeding time, and as he was about twice as fat as the rest of the fowls, his owner decided to watch him and to try to find out the cause of his queer be- havior. One day, as the fowls saun- tered off after being fed, the rooster carried his portly self to a secluded place by the wood pile, and shook himself vigorously; whereupon down fell more than half pint of grain which his ruf1led feathers had caught at feeding time. This he proceeded to eat at his leisure. As he continued to ruffle his feathers and to saunter off to the wood pile after meals, and gained in size daily, his owner had every reason to believe that the roos- ter had more than his share of com mon chicken sense.

 Arno and the harbor town the North Sea did not interfere in a discouraging manner be- tween artist and engraver.
 For more than half century that studio in Florence, of which Stradanus gives in of his arts and crafts series, caled the Nova Re perta characteristic picture, sems to have gone supplying busy hands in distant Antwerp with material of the most heterogeneous kind Saints and devils popes and emperors, holy legends and scenes from purgatory wars and sieges, land bat ties and naval engagements, royal progresses and peasant fetes, hunting, fishing and fowling galore, the horses of all nations the crafts and trades of the civilized world, the discoveries of Columbus and Vespucci, scientific inventions of the day, the working of the silkworm and scores of other subjects of the most diverse nature were one and all depicted with a realism and with power of imagination that really amaze one It shows what extraordinary demand for illus trations had suddenly sprung up in the second half of the sixteenth century among the nations of northern Europe as they awoke from the intel lectual stupor that had enchained them during medieval times

AS edition after edition of Stradanus' series were issued by the Galle brothers of Antwerp and eagerly bought up, the circle of his admirers in northern Europe grew ever wider; but there is no evidence that his work in the pcture-book line ever became very popular in italy, the country of his adoption. There his celebrated Naples fres- coes, for Don Juan of Austria, and his equally good designs for tapestry for the Medici Grand Duke enjoyed far more popularity.

 ST. PAUL. Minn.. April 2S-One hundred million wall-eyed pike and four million brook trout will be dis tributed throughout the lakes and streams of Minnesota this year to provide amusement for sportsmen.

Within sixty days the distribution will be finished and ss record established of 396,573, roo small fish or fry" as commonly called. liberated in free waters within seven years. This record probably is unequaled.
 In addition to the pike and trout possibly half million bass will be planted this fall. when the season for gathering arrives.
