THIS SLOTHFUL 1 ODAS
THEY ARE THE LAZIEST PEOPLE IN
THE WORLD.
A Illll Tribe of India Wboe Men
Will Xrllhrr Hunt Kor, Work and
wno Are Promt of Their Iteputn
tton Tor Downright Indolence.
In these days of push ami energy it
sounds strange to talk of people aa bo
lus Inzy, aud still the Todtis, a bill
trioo of India, are the laziest people In
Vie world.
The Todas are not ashamed of their
reputation and are free to confess thnt
they know of nothing so foolish and
stupid as work. Their one and only
pursuit Is the raising of buffaloes. They
are far too Indolent to follow the ehase.
An nx is. their only weapon, although
they know bow to make others. They
use this for waging war and for fell
ing trees. They will not till the land,
considering this unnecessary labor. To
make housekeeping easier all their nat
ural products are held in common. The
Idea of property is only restricted to
the hut. Its contents and live stock.
The buffaloes, which they own In
largo quantities, furnish them with
skins for clothing and the hut, and the
meat Is nsed as food. But milk Is
their principal diet. They .do not even
relish the idea of milking their cattle.
The head milkers are the only ones
thnt are to be persuaded to do this la
bor. These men are chosen from the
class of "peikl," or "sons of (Sod."
They nre the priests and practice celib
acy. Although the priests tend to the
cattlo, each householder owns bis cat
tle. Much as these men dislike the caring
for their cattle, they find farming a
less dignified calling. Some years ago
they went to war with their neighbors,
the Iiadaga and Kolas, as they might
be able to levy a tax of one-eighth on
their grain produc ts. When their grain
grows scarce they live on roots and
berries. They will sell their land or
give It' away, but they will not culti
vate It at any price.
The building of bamboo huts does not
Interest them any more than the culti
vating of the soil, and they make this
task easy by making the boys cut the
bamboo and their wives build the huts.
It Is not unusual for three families to
share one abode. The men are often
Bo lazy that they cannot nfl'ord one wife
nlone, but even this does riot worry
them. Two or three brothers manage
to support one wife. Indolent and
slothful, they sit listless for hours, un
concerned about all things. What they
know they know well. They are Intel
ligent within certain narrow limits, but
they are too lazy to Increase their store
of knowledge. Whatever has to be
done must be cared for by the women
find children.
Strangely, their appearance does not
disclose this most marked characteris
tic. They are tall and well proportion
ed. They look like Roman senators as
they walk wrapped in skins resembling
the ancient toga. Their appearance Is
not only prepossessing, but bold and
self reliant.
Many an amusing story is told of this
small hill tribe, numbering about 400
men. An American missionary was
working among them when one day be
saw some women and boys building
a hut of bamboo. He Inquired why the
men were not performing this labor,
and one woman explained, "Husband
mine don't work; me and boys build
house."
The missionary made no further com
ment, but when the hut was built ho
told the husband that he must build
another hut, as he could not live In a
home mnde by women and children.
But the surprised Toda answered: "No,
no. Me no work. Man has boys and
Wife to work."
The Toda meant what be said. Al
though the missionary argued and final
ly horsewhipped the native, he could
not get him to build a hut.
An equally amusing story is told by
an English officer. He was so taken
by the handsome appearance of one of
the natives he wanted to take him to
England and place him in his own regi
ment. The officer gave the native
skins and silks until the Toda prom
ised to become an English soldier. He
was delighted with the officer's bright,
gay uniform. He did not feel bad
about leaving his country, bis wife and
children, but when he wns told that
soldiers work he said:
"Me no be an English soldier; me be
Toda. Me no work; me no like work."
When the English officer tried to per
suade him he made answer: "Take
Wife and boys; they be English sol
diers like work. Me stay home and
rest;-me be Toda." Chicago Tribune.

SUUTH AMtHIUAN JAGUARS
The Only Animal That Will Pur
posely Attat-k AlllKatara.
The most Interesting thing about
crocodiles and alligators, declares the
author of "The Itomance of the Animal
World," Is the way they got their food.
This they do mostly and by preference
in the water, but they have also a hab
it of lying In wait upon the mud of riv
er banks until some animal approaches
sulllciently near to be within their
reach.
Lying sunk in the mud aud of the
color of mud themselves, they may
well be mistaken for n log. A wild pig
or some other animal fond of rooting
in the mud sees the long, shapeless ob
Ject, but Is not disturbed by It as he
roots happily among the reed beds. He
looks up suddenly to find that the log
has moved. One end of It, the longest,
thinnest end, the talf. Is gliding away
in a curve; but, like an arrow loosed,
It flics back and meets the body of the
pig with a tremendous sidewise blow,
and the poor pig falls In a heap.
With a sudden swift rush the alliga
tor Is upon him, and, seizing the body
by the skin, which It holds puckered up
between Its front teeth, it shakes it
furiously, as a terrier would a rat, and
then half drags, half pushes, It before
It as it crawls through the mud to the
water's edge.
There Is only one wild animal, says
the author, that will purposely nttack
an alligator, and that is the jaguar of
South America. The jaguar springs
on the back of the alligator and with
all his might tears at the roots of the
reptile's tall. This possibly Is with
the Idea of paralyzing that member,
thus rendering it Incapable of those
mighty sweeps from side to side which
are more to be feared than even the
great armed Jaws.
The fear of both these weapons may
deter the jaguar from clawing the
thront of the saurian, for were lie to be
shaken off In the latter struggles he
would be more exposed to either than
If he fell farther back.
Instances of the Jaguar's success In
destroying the alligator are given by
various observers.

Dor Tried, Convicted and Hinitetl.
William Chambers, the famous Eng
lish publisher, once related an extraor
dinary story of a sheep thief hauged
at Peebles and burled at crossroads
with a stake through his body. The
remarkable feature of the case was
that the thief's dog was tried for aid
ing and abetting in the crime, convict
ed, hanged and burled along with its
master. It was proved at the trial that
the man when out with the animal
used to Indicate to it some particular
flock of sheep he wanted. After reach
ing home the dog returned to the place,
rounded up the sheep and by devious
ways, and only after dark, drove them
home. There they were kept for some
days and their owners' marks destroy
ed or "faked." They were then grad
ed with others legitimately purchased
and driven to the English markets.
Don't Be a Choune.
The word chouse was formerly writ
ten chiaus and is of Turkish origin.
A Turkish interpreter, or chiaus, iu
London In 1(109 swindled some mer
chants with whom he had dealings out
of a large sum of money, and thence
forth a chiaus became the popular
name for a thief.
Ben Jonson in the "Alchymlst" makes
use of the word in its original form:

Why the Ocean Doenn't Freece.
If the ocean did not have salt It
would freeze somewhat more rendily
than It does now, but there would be
no very marked difference.
The ocean Is prevented from freezing
not so much by its salt as by Its size
Und by Its commotion. On account of
Its size, large portions of It extend Into
warm climates at all seasons, and by
reason of its great depth it is a vast
Btorehonse of heat. Its currents dis
tribute much warm water among the
cold. St. Nicholas.

THE BOAST OF HEALTH.
I Often Trcecdea Serious It Not
Fatal Slekness.
All doctors know that Just before
death the patient often experiences
what Is called a "rally," nature making
apparency her tst stand against the
symptoms which we call death, and It
is quite likely that the feeling which
induces men to boast of health is of the
same kind an effort of nature to pro
tect us nglilnst the coming sickness
which the body has recognized, though
the mind has not. The phenomenon
ocelli's every day1 In the cases of con
sumptive patients, who brighten up
and grow hopeful just when the disease
Is about to strike Its hardest blows,
and It Is quite possible that It Is more
frequent than has yet been recognized
that the approach of fever, for exam
ple, is signaled by an unusual con
sciousness of health. "I have never
felt so well In my life," says the pa
tient, who twenty-four hours after Is
lying prostrate and whose friends quote
his statement as Illustrating once more
the ancient and depressing belief.
The boast had nothing to do with the
Illness, but It preceded It, and men, at
tracted by the violent contrast, almost
Instinctively link the two together as
In some way and to some extent cause
and effect. Next time those who heard
It, if they feel that rush of health In
their veins, will avoid boasting of it,
and the relation of the two will escape
attention. Moreover, It ninst not be
forgotten that boasting Is of Itself a
sign of weakness, either temporary or
permanent, and that consequently fail
ure follows boasting more frequently
than It follows silence. The perfect
driver says he Is perfect Just when he
Is most careless, and the resulting
Rj'lll is remembered when the thousand
and one escapes due to the same driv
er's cklll and hardihood are clean for
gotten. London Spectator.
LAMPS THAT ARE CLOCKS.
They Mere Commonly rued In the
Seventeenth Centnr3'.
Of the various examples that have
been given of early specimens of the
clockmaker's art not the least interest
ing ure the several types of lamp
clocks. One of these was of n kind
quite common iu the seventeenth cen
tury and consisted of a lamp burner
placed at the base of a glass oil re
ceptacle mounted vertically on u suit
able standard. The oil reservoir had
attached to it u scale, facing the burner
anil showing the hours, beginning at 4
o'clock iu the afternoon, at which time
the lamp was to be lighted In winter,
and ending at 7 o'clock iu the uiorulng.
The lamp being lighted, the gradually
descending level of the oil, as combus
tion proceeded, marked the hours.
The other device, of later origin, dat
ing back to the beginning of the pres
ent century, utilized the same principle.
It consisted of two communicating oil
chambers, superposed by a clock dial.
In one of the chambers was placed a
night lamp to Illuminate tills dial, and
in the other was suspended u tlout
from n cord which passed iirouud a
small pulley. The latter was mounted
on a horizontal axis ending In the cen
ter of the dial. The float of course de
scended as the oil was consumed and
carried the index hand along with it,
thus making the hours precisely as iu
the case already cited. At their best
these timepieces could have hail only
nil Indifferent degree of accuracy, yet
they probably served their purpose
well and certainly are Interesting at
the present time as Illustrating some
of the expedients adopted by mechani
cians of an earlier period. Cassler's

What makes Niagara falls' power

on its natural course to the Atlantic

It is brought Into the narrow Niagara

the falls, it declines fifty-five feet aud
then, with a single plunge, drops into
the abyss 105 feet below. Eminent en

Hard to I'lense.
Nobody outside the Journalistic pro
fession has any idea how difficult it is
for an editor to please some of his pa
trons. For Instance, referring to a
man's reputation for carelessness In
the matter of his toilet, a paper an
nounced, "Mr. Magulre will wash him
self before he assumes the office of
town clerk." This made Magulre fu
rious, and he demanded a retraction.
which appeared thus: "Mr. Magulre re
quests us to deny that he will wash
himself before he assumes the office of
town clerk." Oddly enough, this only
enraged Magulre the more. San Fran

THE MOOR'S PLEDGE.
A Point of Honor nellfflously Ob
served by Arabs and Saracens.
A Spanish cavalier Iu a sudden quar
rel slew a Moorish gentleman and lied.
His pursuers soon lost sight of him,
for he had unpercelved thrown himself
over a garden wall. The owner, a Moor,
happening to be In his garden, was ad
dressed by the Spaniard ou his knees,
who acquainted him with his case and
Implored concealment. "Eat this," said
the Moor. "Ton know that you may
confide In iny protection." He then
locked him up In his garden apartment,
telling him that as soon as It was night
he would provide for his escape to a
place of safety.
The Moor then went to his house,
where he bad Just seuted himself, when
a great crowd, with loud lamentations,
came to his gate, bringing the corpse
of his son, who had Just been killed by
the Spaniard. When the first shock of
surprise was a little over he learned
from the description given that the fa
tal deed was done by the very person
then In his power. He mentioned this
to no one, but us soon as It was dark
retired to hU garden, as If to grieve
alone, giving orders that none should
follow him. Then, accosting the Span
lard, he said: "Christian, the person
you have killed Is my sou His body
is now In my house. You ought to suf
fer, but you have eaten with me, nnd
I have given you my faith, which must
not be broken." He then led the aston
ished Spaniard to his stables nnd
mounted him on one of his fleetest
horses nnd said:
"Fly far while the night can cover
you. You will be safe In the morning.
You are Indeed guilty of my son's
blood, but Cod is Just and good, and I
thank him I am Innocent of yours and
that my faith given Is preserved!" His
point of honor is, It Is said, most reli
giously observed by the Arabs and Sar
acens, from whom It wns adopted by
the Moors of Africa and by them was
brought Into Spain.
NAUTICAL TERMS.
OrlKln of Some of the Hxprennlona
Tliat Smell of the Sea.
The word 'admiral" comes from
"emir el bngh," which is Arabic for
lord of the sea.
"Captain" comes straight from the
Latin "caput," a hu.ul; but "mate" is
uluiost Identical with the Icelandic
"mail," which means a companion or
equal.
Cockswain was originally the man
who pulled the after oar of the cap
tain's boat, then known as "cock boat."
"Cock boat" Is a 'Corruption of the
word "coracle," and, as most people
know, the coracle is a small round boat
used for fishing on some of the Welsh
rivers, such as the Xye and Usk. So
cockswain comes to us from the Welsh.
"Commodore" Is simply the Italian
"commundatore," or commander, and
"naval cadet" was originally the
French "enpdet," which, going a step
further back, has the same origin as
the word captain. The reason of this
apparent anomaly Is that originally na
val cadets were younger sous of noble
families who served as privates pre
vious to obtaining their commissions.
There never wns such a person as
"Davy Jones," though we frequently
bear of his locker. One ought to talk
of "Duffy Jonah's" locker. "Duffy" Is
the West Indian negro term for spirit
or ghost, while "Jonah" refers to the
prophet of that name. '
"Dogvntch" is another curious case
of a term gradually corrupted out of
Its original form. Originally it was
"Dodge watch," so described because
it lusts only two Instead of the usual
four hours, nnd thus makes It possible
that the sniuo men shall not be ou duty
every day during the same hours.
Sailors call salt meat "Junk." It Is
not a complimentary term, for Junk Is
nautical for a rope's end. Some 3,000
years ngo ropes were mode out of bul
rushes, for which the Latin word Is
"Juncus."
Why Hkees Were Invented.
The origin of the skoe, which may
roughly be described as a snowshoe so
long thnt the sole extends far beyond
the toe nnd heel, was purely practical.
It was designed to make communica
tion possible between village and vil
lage or town nnd town In northern Eu
rope after a heavy, fall of snow. The
skate can only be used on Ice. but the
skee Is available wherever there Is
plenty of snow to traverse. A forward
movement of the lower part of the
body gives you a start, and you then
slip along without raising your feet
from the ground, so that the track
forms two parallel lines. Even uphill
good progress can be made, aided by a
long stick or a stick in either band.

MEN OF MUSCLE.
Monarchs Who Performed Some
Wonderful Feats of Strength.
Augustus the Strong of Saxony In bis
playful moods would seine a couple of
courtiers, one In each hand, and bold
them out at arm's length. He would
twist stout Iron bars around their necks
for collurs and straighten horseshoes
with a wrench of his muscular lingers,
while ou one occasion, when the horse
of one of his attendants refused tj
budge, he put his hcrcnl.au shoulders
under It and walked away with horse
and rider together.

thut he was the only man in Itussla
who could lift nn anvil from the ground.
When tills boast came to the cars of
Peter he set out Incognito with a sin
gle companion and challenged the
blacksmith to a trial of strength. With
out a word the latter seized his ponder
ous anvil with both bauds and, strain
ing his mighty muscles almost to burst
ing point, raised it a foot from the
ground. When Peter's turn came he,
too. raised the anvil higher and higher
until, to his rival's consternation, ho
placed It on his shoulder and walked
out of the smithy with It. So startio.l
was the blacksmith by this exhibition
of strength thnt he rushed away to
summon the villagers to "come and see
the evil one, who had run away with
his anvil."
