The Japanese will accomplish a task hitherto .termed hopeless if they * icceed in subduing the tribe* of savages and dwarf* which inhabit the interior of their newly acquired island of Formosa. These wild people have maintained their independence for centuries, refusing to be civilized or to submit to the yoke of the foreign invader. They dwell in the fastnesses of the moun- tains, and some of them are head hunters. Bags of a peculiar network are manufactur- ed by them expressly for the purpose of carrying heads secured in their warlike foraya. One of their chiefs when about to be executed by the Chinese isid : " I have nc fear of death ; I have taken ninety-four head* and only wanted six mow to make the hundred." These savages are of Malay stock. They say that they did not belong originally in Formosa, and describe their origin by pointing to the south and snowing copies of the canoes in which their ancestors ars alleged to have arrived. Their garb range* from nudity to gayly coloied garment* of their own weaving, made from the fibres of the banana and ramie plant*. They tattoo their face* and build elegant huts of bam> boo, over the doorways of which are hung as trophies skull, of wild boar* and ape* and sometimes tuft* of Chinamen'* pigtail*.

The Little Negroes are the smalmi people in the world, with the exception perhaps of the Congo, who are said to average only 1 feet and '2fc incnes in height. Owing to the extreme wilduess of these little people and the difficulty of appro ten- ing them, they have never been studied to any e < lent except on the Audam , n Islands. There the race has been kept particularly pure, no intrusion by strangers having oc- curred. At all event*, there has been no settlement by foreigners, though Malays and Chinese hve for centuries frequented the island* for the purpose of gathering edible swallows' nest*.

On this account the pigmies have made a practice of killing mariners who chanced to be cast away on their shores. By nature tney are gentle and kindiy. Their morals are an improvement on thrse of most wmte people. Sexual improprie- ties are almost unneard of among them. Marriage between cousin* they consider an out rage on docsncy.
