Indian Acrobats.

From the Wide World Magazine
The wandering acrobats of India are
recruited from a low caste OF people
called 'ombaranos,'' who live by this
profession alone. The children are trained
from their earliest childhood, and do not
receive any education in schools. They
travel from village to town, and give
their performances, which are really won
derful. in the open air, before crowds o.
onlookers. Their tricks quaint and
sometimes astonishingly clever. Supported
by one another. these men will balance
themselves in a crazy kind OF pyramid
rising fifteen or twenty feet from the
ground, and one of their number will then
climb this living pyramid with heayv
weight I'm his teeth Babies not yet aple
to walk are often seen being made use
of in the most dangerous manner during
these performances. Rajahs and rich IN
dams are very fond OF the acrobatic dts
plays and engage the best of the men To-
perform before their guests at entertain
ments.
