HUMlil SACRIFICES IN ASSAM
Attempt by Government to Abolish 4
Common Evil Has Met With
Much Opposition.

The report on the efforts made by
the government to suppress slavery
90 human sacrifice In the Nago hills
=. accc. ding to Mr.. Clayton, who
recently commissioner on the
-heastern frontier Of Burma, that
year there were 271 slaves IN
- ..-ptu. as compared with 973 in the
evious year. The reduction was
iainly due to release Of slaves, writes
.fenri Rickard in the Cincinnati En-
quirer. Several cases have been re-
ported of Indians being enticed BY
Nagas to work as blacksmiths, and be-
ing seized and sold into slavery in the
Hukong valley. but only seven Indian
slaves were found, Of whom three
were released, the others being con-
tent with their lot An Indian man
and a girl set apart for sacrifice by
the Nagas were released.
The Investigations showed that hu-
man sacrifice was much more COM
mon in the Naga hills than was sup
posed, there being no fewer than six
boys and ten girls annually, and In
plentiful years twenty boys and thirty
girls kidnapped from Assam. These
were the commonest victims. The re-
port states that an attempt to rescue
slaves from sacrifice creates vicious
circle, in which fantastic price 10
charged for 4 victim boarded for q
bigger and more expensive sacrifice.
The report comes to the conclusion
that the only solution appears to be
direct government administration Of
the tracts where these hideous prac-
tices prevail.

that we should 60 hiking instead OF
riding. This would mean eight or ten
miles of heel-and-toe work. Among
those present were Kid Mccoy, Charles
B. Dillingham; and myself. There ar
rived the night before fat young
chap, who weighed $50 pounds. He
went along all right for mile. but
as we took a long, muddy hill he be-
gan to puff. When we reached the
top he sat down on a big cold bowlder
and began to wipe the sweat from his
face.
Hey. you big fat slob'!" yelled
the professor. What the blankety-
blank do you mean by sitting down on
that wet stone when you're all a.
