Veddahs of Caylon Regardad aa Rep raaantlng the Stone Age. The oldest Inhabitants of Ceylon are passing away. These are the famous Veddahs. , Fifty years ago it was estimated that 8,000 of them were still living In the forests, but Dr. Max Moszkowskl, who has recently visited them, says there are only 50 or 60 of them still alive and that a few more years will see the end of their race. The Veddahs have Interested an thropologists because they have been regarded as the best living types of the man of the stone age. The altitude of the Cingalese toward them is remarkable. They hold the poor creatures in great honor and rank them as belonging to the highest caste in the island. The reason is that they are reputed to have descended from the ancient demons or spirits that were the original possessors of the island. These nomad, hunting people, never leaving their forests, living under trees and in caves, without knowl edge ef pottery or any other art ex cept that of making bows and arrows, are perishing because of their way of living and of their inability to stand up when stronger folk are pressing closer around them. They are exact ly what they were centuries ago when people of India came and conquered their green island. INU-RED TO POVERTY AND TOIL. Natives of Shantung Province Live Lives of Wretchsdness. Of Shantung province, China, a cor respondent writes: “A little more than a generation ago one of the greatest famines in the memory of man spread devastation in the great over-populated sections of the west of this province and now famine faces the stoical toilers of the land once again. , The Shantungese illustrate well the law of the survival of the fittest, for such dire poverty only per mits the strong ones to live, with the result that we find sturdy men of great endurance all over this province. Liv ing on the land, which barely produces a sufficiency for Shantung’s teeming millions, the people have become hardy, for they are hardened to all k'nds of privations. Their brains are d adened by ceaseless toil and this may account for the reputed backward ness of this province in progress along commercial and industrial lines. A 1 ss long-suffering people would hare a revolution every year. It Is an axiom with westerners that discon tent is an absolute condition of prog ress, and we who live among the Chinese know there can hardly be a race In the world so contented as they are, considering their lot This Is one of the factors which makes the regen eration of China suoh as eaormew problem.” NOTICE TO CREDITORS State of Nebraska I rH Sherman Count; 1 The State of Nebraska!
