THE LEPCHA.

Father Kemperman, a missionary
of Eastern India, writes an interest
ing description of the manners and
customs of the Lepcha, nomad tribe
of Tartar descent scattered over the
Himalayan Hills and Eastern India
from Kashmir down to Burma and AS
sam.
The Lepchas form an extremely in
teresting race. They mostly subsist
by hunting and fishing and live on
wild fruits and edible roots like men
in antediluvian times. They eat To-
Gusts like shrimps, and when they
have killed monkey they will make
exculpatory speeches to it, call it their
relation, their grandmother, in order
to appease it's spirit-and then they
will cook it and eat it with great gusto.
Their one-edged straight knife is
everything to them. With it they
clear the jungle, build their huts, skin
the animals they shoot; it is their
spade and their table knife, their
hammer and their gimlet, their sword
in battle and their weapon in self-de-
tense.
THE Lepcha is physically and NOR
ally very much what his surroundings
have made him. Living in a country
which yields to him without much hus'
bandry all kinds of jungle produce, he
is naturally easygoing, and his spirit
crushed under generations of Tibetan
oppressors has left little of the heroic
in his composition. Besides being rul
ed by very primitive government
which forces all people to give to il
and work for it without remuneration
whenever called upon, the Lepcha
thus robbed of his incentive of eXer
ton, does not see why he should slave
to amass property, when he canno
keep it or reap the benefits of hi:
labors. They are now rapidly disap
pearing before the tide of emigrant:
from the more active and civilized
tribes who have lately swept in grea
waves into their country. Being no
MAIDS in habits, they often come here
in great gangs to work as coolies
They carry their load on woodeI
frame which is strapped over theil
shoulders like knapsack, supported
by a band of plated cane that i:
passed over their foreheads. In theil
hands they clutch hollow stem o
bamboo about the length of walking
stick. 1t serves to steady them a:
they walk, and when resting by the
way it also serves as a water bottle
SO useful in these thirsty as we'll a:
hungry hills. But the Lepcha is alsC

a keen sportsman, a born naturalist
and true son of the forest. In fact,
| in the forest no one can be drawer
than he is in facing danger. Besides,
he is frank and generous to a fault,
and possesses quite store of inform
alton, but is stepped in romance and
superstition. Around his neck he
hangs several packets of charms to
ward off all evil The other day l
wanted to have their photograph TAX
en-, but it was hopeless task. They
would not face the evil eye of the
camera. They also exhibit a lively
fear of the evil mountain spirits who
are supposed to lodge here in great
numbers. And whenever His Lord
ship the Devil is supposed to have
taken up his abode, the Lepcha will
pass by, keeping him invariably on the
right side in token of respect for his
Satanic Majesty.
"The Lepcha is Buddhist, but his
Buddhism has taken such form that
it would be very difficult, indeed, even
for Buddha to recognize it. He occa-
sionally twirls his prayer wheel, counts
his beads and mumbles his mystic
spell: Hail to the jewel of the lotus
blossoms the mere utterance of which
gains for him sure entrance into their
nirvana (heaven). He also drinks the
| famous murwa beer, but he is not so
addicted to that beverage and is not
such an inveterate tippler as the
Llamas or Buddhist priests. They
drink it at all times, in season and
out of season, even during their serv-
ices in their temples. 1t is not often
that Buddhist priest shows himself
here, but whenever he puts in an ap.
pearance in his cherry colored robes
and goes his rounds, he seems insep
arably united with his jug of beer
which he sips through a strawlike
reed, just like opium. Evidently. il
must be a solace to their pessimistic
dogma that all life is misery fol-
whenever they are thus engaged they
seem to contemplate everything, the
whole world with full approval. Be
yond the prayer wheel, the beads and
the murwa beer, the Lepcha has very
little, l believe, in common with the
Tibetan Llamas. His chief religious
feature is decided propensity to
wards devil-worship. Their shrines are
constantly being drenched with the
blood of animals, which they sacrifice
to the devil. They say that God is a
good spirit and harms no one, but
that the devil is actively malignant
Therefore, his good viii must be Sc
cured by peace offerings. So God is
neglected and the devil is worshiped
] instead.

waters had left them. In the pocket
of his coat was the letter from his
mother. Father Maurice took it and
spread it out, drying it carefully. Dick
Burns, watching him with eager eyes,
asked question.
What are you going to do with it,
Father?"
"Send it back to her." said the
priest. "The purse they've made up
we'll, I think she'll be glad enough
to get that. But this will be her glory,
Dick. A mother never loses hopes
for her son, dead or alive"
Dick Burns said nothing.
II think we owe it to them to live
as decent as we CAM went on the
priest. tits not right to shame them
before God"
Dick shivered slightly.
Don't put it that way. You can't
touch people in Heaven"
"Not most people. But mother-a
good mother-is different. Her chill
dren's shame is hers in Heaven or
out of it,
Dick turned aside.

life when everyone's against a fellow
he said.
Il know it is. But if a fellow gets

Who'd give me a chance?"
Il happen to know of one-a chap
who's made himself decent for his
dead mothers sake. Will you take
it?"
Dick hesitated. He was softened,
ashamed, and-something more. He
extended his hand.
"I'll take it," he said, briefly. 81

The Democrats control of the leg1sla-

control then resulted in the election

from the ever tormenting and excit-

describe or think Of the dreadful

my thoughts and imaginations to an
feeling of alarm and
