Assam aud Burma. According to H.
N. Thompson, the Chinese have n prac

at the head of the upper Nanjkoug basin
are rich iu rubber, and the trees attain
a height of 200 feet, with euormons
girth. The great tribe of rubber collect

distauct s for their rubber harvest iu tho
dry season. Tho chiefs levy toll on tho
produce as it passes down tho river.
The Chiucse, who control the trade, pay
the Kuchins for it in provisions and
cloth, and as they are adepts iu the nrt
of concealing stones in it, by the timo

Tbo Assam supply is fed rnniuly by
the Nacas, who, having got in their
crops in December, set off for tho rub

the Taren river, where they know every
tree, tho knowledge being in many
cases passed on from father to son. Tho
rubber iu this district is said to ho

man 40 days to collect a cooly load. In

Nagas bave acquired tho trick of adul

the Assam rubber is not regarded with

that the Nagas so exhaust tlie cupacity
of the rubber to receive adalcerntion
that there is no opeuiug left for the ex

There was an Englishman hailing
from Hull on this side the water re
cently looking at America, aud, of
course, he came to Washingtou. Hewaa
a large man, weighing not less than
360 pounds and rising to a height of at
least 0 feet 8 inches. He was, for an
Englishman not yet Americanized, quite
chatty and affable, after the ice wua
broken, albeit jnst u wee bit slow of wit.
“ I’m a Hull shipbuilder, ” he was say
ing td a Yankee newspaper man iu a
small party of journalists who were
blowing him off to a few rations, wet
and dry, nt a foundry where such things
axe manufactured.
"Of course you are," responded the
Yankee as lie measured his huge pro
portions and smiled. “ You cxiuld scarce
ly make ns believo you were ouly part
of one, don't yon know. ”
Those in hearing laughed, and the
Englishman looked at tho Yankee with
a puzzled, yearning expression on his
broad and honest face.
“ Really," ho pleaded, “ I beg your
pardon." And then before international
complications could arise somebody coll
ed on tho Englishman for a speech or
something and the Yankee joker got
away.— Washington Star.
