Them Have Red. Hajr--Race of Dwarfs Congidered Holy-Pig- mies Always Dwell by Themselves in Remote Districts, The recently reported discovery of a tribe of pigmies in Papua issinter- esting as showing how widely spread over the face of the earth are the races of ° little people: No earlier than in 1591 Prof. Marspa discovered a dwarf people in Europe. In the Eastern Pyrenees, in the Valley of Ribas, he came across numerous' groups of persons nicknamed '"Nunos," which in our {tongue means "the liwarfs," who never exceeded foun feed in stature. One remarkable peculiarity of these tiny tots is that they all have red hair, says the London Globe, but \ are well built in body, their hands ' and feet are small, while they are broad in shoulders and hips. They have full faces and pale and loose skins, Gepe- rally their personal appearance is so similar that difference in sex is only indicated by their dress. As long as they continue. to. marry strictly among themselves their race will not become extinct. They are of a very low type of intelligence, not even being able, at the time the professor visited them, to tell him where they lived. Hf the conjecture of another learned man be correct, the little kingdom of Switzerland was once inhabited: by a pigmy race. Some -evidence for his conclusion 'was the discovery of bodies of Dachsenbuhl jo 1547, while a few years since a number of human skele- tons were unearthed at Schweizershild in the Swiss republic, and the profes sor declared them to be remains of dwarfs. » But in otfitr parts of the world pigmy peoples are occasionally to be mel with, Awong these are the in habitants of the: Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean, bat they are wot the smallest sple known, that dis tirvietion rd to the credit of the Hamy Negrillos, who are found in Alrica on either side of the equator. The Andamanese are about the same height as the African Bosjemen or Bushmen, the average of the wo- men being about four.feet six inches, the men "eing some three inches taller. Their. heads are of a short, round type, their hair being closely curled or woolly, while their skin _is dark, almost. black, They live chiefly on wild pigs, birds, wild fruits, honey, roots, seeds and such things as may happen to come their way ; they are strictly teetotal as regards thirst quenchers, their only drink be- iy water. These diminutive islanders are the only remaining pure speei- mens of a race said to have been the earliest habitants' of "a large part of southern Asia. 3 There are several tribes of dwarls in the Congo district and in the Simliki Valley, of whom Sir Harry Johustoh gives an interesting ang amusing acconnt in his work on the "Unganda Protectorate," pnblished: ins 1902. He says the huts of thesa peo- ple are usually placed in a little clearing between a clump of great tree trunks in a dense bit of forest. Owing to the peculiar construction of these huts they are very diffico't to be pluced to their credit was that the forest, so much so, imdecd, that a traveler may have dwarfs livisg all wround his camping ground and. be unaware of their presence. especially a8 they contrive very cleverly to vancenl their own tiny boilies. Writing of thes same folk in one of the reviews two, or three years ago, Sir Harry said: "The dwarfs of the Congo forest can be good or hel neighbors to fhe Hlack people. . . + I have beén informed by of the forest negroes that the will occasionally steal their and put in their places pigmy of - ape-like appearance." Ja Africa, too, are founed other p'gmy peoples, such as the tribe 2a ed the Akkas, who dwell on the west ol Laks Nyatiza, The men and wo men of éhid trilte, we are told by those who have seen them, are only four feet in height and dwell by them. selves, apart from other uemroes of Central Africa. Further, in 1895, dwarf tribe ywas unearthed to the east' of the U Nile. They were déscribed as the most primitive oni' earth; "Tsdseseivia neither rules nor laws, and imnocent of both clothes and weapons of of- fence and defence.

The Moors living in the neighborhood of these strange folk look upon them with great favor, as they consider them mascots to bring good luck. The Island of Luzon, in the Philip- pines, contains a race of dwarfs, known as the Aetas, whose average height is four feet eight or nine inches. They dwell among the mduntains in the interior of the is- land, thus bearing out the sssertion of an authority that most, if not ull ol the dwarf races, only survive in the most inaccessible parts of the continents or islands io which t). belong. religious A Guilty Conscience.

The thing that most hurts the wise fellows--the ones who pick the winners and tell why--is that their judgment was proved to be so faulty. On other hand, the majority who picked the winner didn't do it with any logic before the fight. They had. only one ever did come back, and why should Jefiries?"* On this question hums quan- tities of discussion, but what did it amoufit to? Even Johnson could not have been so cocksure of his superior ity when he demanded a Higger loser's end in the agreement a few hours be fore the fight. Jefiries's hy perscndl friends alone knew of this, hod it was supposed to-have given him renewed courage and led them to bet their heads off on him. : Jeffries refused to answer 'the aeser tions by Muldoon and others. that he was "all in" before he entered the ring. He maibtainsg a silence his brother Jack and his wife are wu able to break. "It is what we might have expected" said Mrs, Jefivies in a request for some statement of the criticism of her husband. She ap- parently feels the formef champion's position keenly, Jeffries refuses to look at a it is said, and smiles vrimly at one who offs a word of criticism of his tactics during the fight.
