Burma is one of tho countries the aro chungim* very fast, and one of th things that Dave changed in Burma i tho dacoit. Tho sportive gentlemen dr scribed by Rndyard Kipling and other who crucified villagers wholesale am filled old ladies with kerosene wer flourishing in full vigor less than t<-i years ago, but they already belong a completely to the past as Dick Turpii and his colleagues in England. Nodoub a fresh war or any event seriously sbak ing tho British power or reputatioi might produce a recrudescence of the oh disease, but in tho meantime tho daeoit bavo entirely changed their habits. In stead of living together in bands in tin jungle they are scattered through sepa rate villages in the guise of peacefu cultivators. During tho day each mat attends to his paddy fields just like hii neighbors, and it is only at night thin they meet together for the dispatch ol their more important and lucrative busi ness. Dacoity as defined by Jaw is simplj robbery committed by a band of five men or more, and it is important nnlj because of the Bunuuti’s strong natural propensity toward it and tin; great diffl culties which his national charactci places in the way of his detection. It must always bo remembered that, Bur ma being in u transition stage anil much less settled than Inilia and tin government being extremely short hand ed, an immense amount of various kinds of work falls upon eueh single English official. Ilenco it is wholly impossible for him to exercise any close or detailed supervision over any particular part of his district. This of itself renders th' detection or criminals a nimcuit mat ter. When the ducoits wero in tlio woods, it was simply a ease of turning out oc casionally tn hunt them down. At pres cut tho matter must necessarily bo loft chiefly in tho hands of natives. Now, tho natives urn for the most part honest and tolerably law abiding, and they have no sympathy whatever with a man who goes dacoiting, but the dacoit goes armed, and the sopinenoss and cowardice of the Barman in tho presence of urms, moro particularly of firearms, urn something utmost incom prehensible to the western mind. It is quite sufficient for u party of half a dozen men to have a gun among thorn—effect ive or useless, loaded or empty, matters little, tho mere show is enough—and they may go fearlessly to work in the midst of a crowd. No ono will interfere with them. In more than one instance bold robbers have made successful at tacks when armed merely with their dabs—the dagger which every Bnrman carries—and with a pretended riflo made rf a stick, with which they frightened off all opposition. Hut perhaps tho strango workings of tho uativo character aro best exhibited in the following case, which occurred quite recently. The facts aro vouched for by an English officer: There was a band of five men who wero in the habit of practicing dacoity occasionally. Three of them camo from the same village— not a common thing, as it makes detec tion easier—the fourth from another village, and, as for tho fifth, no man knows whence he came, for reasons that will appear. One night these five men, armed with nothing but their knives and spears, which aro used for fishing in lower Burma, entered u house, tied up tho owner and began plundering. Now, this house wo* in a large village, containing not only a population of somo 1,400, but a police post with 15 native policemen armed with sniders. The alarm was given and the house surrounded, and then there wus a pause. The robbers continued their work undis turbed within. Tho villagers, some 200 or 300 ablebodied men, all moro or less armed, sat around on tho dam which surrounds and protects every liouso on the deltu, looked down on tho house and discussed tho question. Tho police stood rather nearer tho houso and fired shots into it through tho bamboo walls, hurt ing no ono. One solitary policeman after a time volunteered to advance, lie crept up quite close to tho house aud tired in through an opening in tho wall. Then ho went farther and actually put hts head sad part of his body through tho hole, apparently to see what execution he had dona. »hie of the robbers prompt ly faulted him to the ground with u fish speur and killed him. Jly this time they had completed their preparations; so they sallied forth, each mail w ith hts pack of piuutter on hts back. Though the house Was surrounded, they up|»nr to have had uo difl.rully lu making their way through, only the police fired after them w ith buckshot and hit three of litem lu the back, not seriously wroundaig them, ltut one of the band had the misfortune to atuiubic and fall.

FEATHERED DRUNKARDS. Shocking llepravltjr on tlm I'urt of Itirdi by Andrew l,uujf. A queer story is told by Mr. Andrew Lang. The incident came under his own notico and occurred under the bridge over the Lochy, below tho Ben Nevit Long John distillery. From this tule ii is obvious that unimals are only sobei from lack of wit to obtain alcohol: “That establishment disgorges into u burn a quantity of refuse, no doubt al coholic. When wo crossed the bridge in tho morning to fish, tho ducks from the farm opposite were behaving in a drunk en and disorderly manner—flying, boat ing tho water, diving, splattering and greedily devouring the stuff from the distillery. Their antics were funny, but vulgar. By 3 o’clock we found the ducks sleeping off tho effects of their debauch. Wo awakened them, and they all staggered eagerly to a bucket of wa ter, from which they quonched the tor monts of thirst. A small sea bird behav ed in a still more deplorablo way. Ho slowly drifted down the Lochy from the fatal intoxicating bnrn, nor could peb bles judiciously thrown at him induce him to take the wing. Ho tried to dive, making efforts comic and unsuccessfnl. After drifting through the bridge I re gret to say that ho returned to the bnrn and “took a cup of kindness yet,” get ting all the more intoxicated and drift ing back in a yet more deplorablo condi tion. What a lesson, we said, is this to mankind, who, after all, need not speak of their boasted reasonableness 1 The wild and tame things of stream and ocean are as unwise as we." llruou In the Loner Animals. We have a fox terrier whose happi ness was complete nutil Dodgerfield came. She is very affectionate, conse quently very jealous. If looks and growls would kill, Dodgerfield would die many times a day. Doth dogs eat from the same plate, hut not ut the samo time. One day lust week wo fed Dodgerfield first. The fox terrier was very hungry and begged bard fur first dinner. Dodger seemed to eat more slowly thuu usual, and Nettie watched dolefully. Finally hunger got the hotter of her i honesty, and she harked sharply throe short barks. Dodger left his plate and sprang to the window, looking excitedly up and down the road. Nettie looked neither to the right nor the left, but mudo straight for the plate of food as soon as Dodger's hack was turned.
