NAPPY NATIVES OF SARAWAK
Under WIm Government, Peoplt Llv
Easy Live In Their Olorlouely
Fertile Country.
PAGH
The tribe of Kayons. Inhabiting th
head waters r die Ha nun and Itcjang
rivers or Sarawak, have lived for un
known generations almost Isolated In
the Interior of (lie Island of Borneo.
There arc many reasons for liellevlni
them to he originally of. Caucasian
origin. Many of Ihcm have very light
kin. and (hey probably reached Itor
neo by way of (he Malay peninsula
from lower Ilimiia. Illgld discipline
Is characteristic of the domestic me
nage, resultltm In good manners and
recognition of authority.
For a good many yenrs Sarawak
was under the Independent govern
ment of a white rajah. Sir Charles
Brooke, who controlled his mingled
subjects with uniisun) wisdom and
sympathy. Among other far-sighted
edicts he instituted stringent game
laws, so that (he Island Is one of the
best protected parts of (he world In
this respect. Bints, beasts and butter
flies are protected, not more than two
specimens of any one species being
allowed to the collector. In this way
the very beautiful and rare trees and
Insects of the country are being main
tained for the enjoymeut. of future
generations.
Another wise move of, the rnjah
was to continue the native costuine-r
what there is of It In place of Intro
ducing the unsuitable, ugly and arti
ficial modern clothing of Europeans.
This, as Stevenson points out, has
usually exactly (he opposite effect
from that Intended by well-mcitning
missionaries, and the happy natives of
Sarawak are very well off as they are.
GOOD WORK WITH CAMERA
Explorers in Northwestern Canada
Have Photographic Studies of
Wilderness Wild Life.
After a three ye.irs" hunt with the
camera In the almost unknown Laird
river district In northwestern Canada.
H. A. Stewart and John Sonnlckson
have come back to civilization by way
of Peace river. Alberta, bringing sev
eral thousand photographic studies of
the manners and customs of the wild
life of those remote woods and
streams. The explorers, for they well
deserve the name, worked ln(o the
wilderness by way of Hudson's Hope
and the forks of the Flndlay and
Parsnip rivers as far as Fort Gra
name. Their negatives Illustrate the
habits of the ptarmigan, moose, beav
er, Canadian wild geese and other an
imals and birds that have seldom been
observed with anything like thorough-
ness by meitns of the camera. The
travelers had devices of various sorts
whereby (heir subjects were enticed
to spots upon which the hidden lenses
. were focused ; and upon reaching
these spots an ambushed camera man
"snapped" them by twitching a long
cord attached to the lens shutter. A
ingle negative of some specially shy
arlroal was often the only fruit of
many boars of patient waiting. Some
times for days the explorers would
watch a single spot through their field
ment to "shoot." But It was all
worth It.
Gleaning the Stur.ps.
The rapid decrease In the number of
tall stumps which have been so fa
miliar to the traveler through the coast
hills of Oregon, is regarded as an In
dication of their approaching extinc
tion. Hitherto some 20 feet of each
stump has been left standing, silent
relics of former monarch of the forest
, too thick for most saws to compass
and too full of pitch to snlt the saw
mills. But now the need for timber is
greater and men no longer climb high
up on to boards thrust into notches In
. the trunk to suit the saw and the saw
mill. They have learned thrift and
they cut low down tost good lumber
be uselessly wasted. Only ns a record
of past wastefulness are the tall
stnmps with (heir deep notches still
. risible.
A Filipino Vassar.
What the occidental ideals of univer
sal opportunities of education are to
mean to women of the Orient takes on
a large significance with the estab
lishment In the Philippines of a uni
versity for girls only. This university
Is to he part of an educational grenp
called Centro Escolor de Senorltns,
where until now the Instruction to
girls has been only In (he primary,
secondary and Intermediate grades.
That this Filipino Vassar will develop
traditions characterise of girls' col
leges In (he United States cannot be
doubted by anyone who hns observed
how wholeheartedly though shyly, girl
students from . the Orient have en
tered into the undergraduate studies,
festivities and pastimes at American
colleges.
Coquelln's Memory.
:. ' "How many pin ts do you know well
enough to pluy tonight If need be?"
Somebody asked Coquelln. He took a
sheet of paper and wrote down the
names of 53 plays of his repertoire.
Ills friends laughed.
' "You are boasting surely, mon nmlf'
snld the Viscomte de Lovenjoul.
. "You have every one of these plays
in your library," snld Coquelln quietly.
"Get them all out and put them on the
table." The viscomte did so. "Now,"
snld Coquelln,. "let nnybody select a
cue from any one of these pluya at hap
hazard and give It to me."
They tried him with 10 plays out of
the 53 and he never missed n single cue
or tnudc one mistake. Fortnightly He

fluenza epidemic lust winter and
spring, according to F, A. Daly who
has Just returned from that region
Daly, wbo is manager of the Port
land-Alaska Packers' assoclatloii'n
Nunhagak river cannery, said:
"The epidemic which swept 'over
the Bering soa section last winter
was not so virulont as that which
swept over the United Slates, but It
wrought groat havoc among' the na
tives. The Indians not only had no
caro,' but being extremely supersti
tious, were easily frightened. As a
result, almost the entire adult popu
lation of Home of tho towns wc.s
wiped out, while tho children sui
vlvod. "In some of the villages, dond bo
dies lay for days awaiting burial,
while at others they were torn to
pieces by the famishing dogs. It was
a horrible sight to see the children,
some of whom were Infants, forced
to stay amid such conditions. At
one placo It was necessury to deBtroy
everything by fire."
