These people inhabit Tinnevelly and Travancore, the two provinces at the southern extremity of Hindustan, where they constitute about one half of the entire population. They say that their ancestors emigrated from Cgylon, and they re- gard Ravana, the giant king of Lanka, as their divine sovereign, and on his birthday is held their great annual festival. The chief occupation of the Shanars is the cultivation and the climbing of the Palmyra palm, from which they extract the juice for the man- uf...acture of a coarse, dark-colored sugar, which is their principal food, and with the poorer class it is their only wealth. The flower of the palm tree is contained in a large sheath, which, when cut and pressed, furnishes a con- 21 162 CLIMBING THE PALMYRA PALM. siderable quantity of sweet juice. If newly cut, and attended to every day, the juice is deposited daily; but if left for a couple of days it thickens, and the vessels which contain it become hard, and cease to secrete it. To obtain it regularly, the Shanar peas- ants are compelled to pass their lives in painful and incessant toil.
