1t is said that in no part of the
world are oranges grown to such per-

little trouble.
The Hungarian Government deters

Peculiar Customs of a Curious Tribe Liv.
ing in the Malay Peninsula.
The report of the resident in the
State of Selangore, in the Malay PENN
sula, for the last year contains some GU.
rious information with regard to the
aboriginal tribes" called the Sakils,
who numbered between seven and
eight hundred. They are in nine di.
visions, under head-men called Baths,
and they live mainly by collecting
gutta, rattans and other jungle produce.
AS far as is known they have no form
of religious worship, but they are very
superstitious, believing in good and
bad omens, the sacred character of Ger.
tain birds, and they always desert q
village as unlucky upon the death OF
any member of the tribe. They tattoo
figures on their arms, but do not use
any specially significant figures, pc.
culiar to each tribe, analogous to the
totems of the North American Indians
They consider no kind of edible fooG
unclean, but eat even monkeys, snakes
and scorpions, which they kill BY
means of a blow-pipe, throwing
dart poisoned with the Juice OF
the ipoh or upas tree. For large game
they use kind of cross-bow, consisting
of sharpened bamboo spear, placed
horizontally on a grooved log, and
bent sapling fastened back by rattan
cord. This cord is stretched across
path in the jungle, and on being touched
releases the sapling with sufficient force
to drive it completely through deer's
body. The Sakils live in small huts
built of bamboo and matched with
leaves of the Bertam palm, raised eight
feet or more above the ground. They
are sly and easily frightened, but are
quite harmless, and are gradually be-
coming accustomed to Europeans, by
whom they are employed to track game
and cut paths through the jungle. They
are small in stature, but are otherwise
very similar in appearance to the
Malays, from whom they differ. how
ever, in usually having wavy instead Of
straight-growing hair. A few Malays
are attached to every Sakil community
to act as go-betweens in the sale of
their produce, and the officials have re-
ceived special instructions to protect
these aboriginal tribes. Interior.

STREET SUITS.
A Fretty and Popular Walking Costume
For Young Ladies.

A Pretty and Popular Walking Costume
For Young Ladies.
A fashion in great favor with young
aides for street suits is that of basque
of plain dark color with plaid, barred,
checked or striped skirts. Any nice
WOODEN stuff may be used for the basque,
and should be of rather heavy quality:
as it is to be worn without Jacket.
Serge, Cheviot or camel s-hair is the
fabric usually chosen, while the skirts
may be of lighter summary fabric, such
rs etamine, bourette, thin delaine. can
vas or even of surah or Louisine silk.
One of the prettiest of these youthful
suits has a basque of sapphire blue
serge, with kilt and drapery of twilled
wool in inch blocks of blue and white.
The drapery falls in points or wings in
the back, and is quite short in 'front.'
and is taken crosswise of the goods,
leaving plain sewage showing; or else
the edges are ravelled two inches deep
to form fringe. Another costume has
the severe tailor basque of tan-colored
livery cloth, while the kilt skirt and the
milkmaid's overskirt, with large re-
vers turned up to the waist on the left
side Tor on the right, as the wearer
chooses), is of brown Louisine silk
barred with ecru. The basque of this
suit has usually a notched collar show
ing a sailor-knotted scarf and high
standing linen collar. For midsummer
this suit will be made with a white
basque to be worn with skirts of very
large plaids of blue on white, red on
white, brown OF dark green with white.
Piping of velvet matching the color in
the SKIRT will edge the basque, and there
may be high velvet collar and single
three-cornered revers of the velvet.
with also small velvet cuffs. The skirt
should then have d narrow foot-plaitine
OF the velvet. All foot-plaitings are
now made very scant, of side plaits an
inch and half wide, with each plat
very slightly turned under. A very
high dark hat of rough straw the color
OF the basque is worn with this suit

Hints to Persons DESTROYS OF A cquiring the
| Art of Conversation.
A gentleman who had given his only
daughter great educational advantages
was disappointed that she did not shine
in conversation with his friends. "Why
don't you talkp" he asked. ''You chat
ter with the girls, but with people OF
sense you are silent"
Il don't know what to talk about.
Your friends are not interested in the
things that interest me. The girls are. -
Here is the key to this problem OF
learning to converse. Be interested in
that which interests your companion. If
it is a child, make your conversation on a
level with the child's comprehension, and
about things that interest child. If a
philosopher be your companion and
you cannot interest and instruct him,
be interested in learning from him.
The Importance of knowing little of
everything is emphasized by the neces-
sity of meeting all classes of people.
"Did you ever sell dry goodsP'' asked
pert miss of Judge; "you seem to
know all about ladies wear" mo"
was the reply; "but my mother, who
was an invalid, taught me to do her
shopping, aud l have found the knowl-
edge thus obtained invaluable in society
and in my profession.
| once overheard an elegant gentle
man talking with an unculturcd old
woman about making soap, and show
ing that he knew something of the art
and was interested in learning more.
Sir Walter Scott made it point to
talk to every one he met upon some
topic that pleased them. On one occa-
sion he met in stage-coach man with
whom he tried to converse upon every
imaginable topic, but without arousing
a response. Quite in despair. he ex-
claimed: lis there anything you can
talk about?" The man replied: "What
do you know about bend leatherpn Sir
Walter confessed that he knew nothing,
but he wanted to learn, and upon this
topic found his companion Intelligent
and even eloquent. We are often told
that to be good conversationalist one
must be a good listener; but to be a
listener is not to sit silent. 1t is to
know enough of the subject under con-
sideration to ask intelligent questions
and listen understandlngly to the re-.
plies. -RiladelDhsa Press.

matter If ro,,rse. the air Is h1a1e pois-

matter of course; the air is made polls
onous and intoIerable, and this ex-
plains the frequent fatal diseases pre-
vailing among the Russian peasantry.
Their daily habits and methods of life
are of the simplest character. Five
o'clock in the morning, in all sea-
sons, is generally the hour at
which the family rises. The woman im-
medately begins to prepare breakfast,
which generally consists of mixture
of sourkyout, beets and potatoes, called
"borshtch," and coarse rye bread. A
large trunk, the only piece of furniture
to be seen in PEASANTS hut, which at
the same time serves as table,
is spread with coarse cover,
and after saying prayer the head OF
the family followed by the
rest of the members, occupies his seat.
After the "borshtch'' pot is emptied
every one goes out to his work. If it is
winter time the men are engaged in feed
ing the cattle and the women in spin
ming their flax Every one has his
hands full. A twelve o'clock dinner
is announced. Again "borshtch' on
the trunk table, followed by potfull of
boiled potatoes and plenty of coarse,
rye bread. Supper consists of the rem
nants of dinner. On Sundays, how
ever, or days of festival, an epicurean
piece of salt pork or mutton and fresh
rye bread-which the peasant, and still
more his better half. is very fond Of
adorn the table, White bread, tea or
coffee are looked upon as luxury be-
yond the reach of the peasantry. 1t is
only on very rare occasions -if, for ex-
ample, any one in the family is sick =
that such luxury finds place in the
peasants home.
After a days work is over the peasant
goes out for recreation. The tavern,
which is the only place of attraction for
him, is generally crowded in the even
ings. The most burning topics of the
day are discussed there. What strikes
a stranger who is present at one of such
meetings is the absolute confusion which
characterizes its proceedings. All speak
at once, no one listens and the debates
are scenes of wild disorder. But there
is no rule without an exception; an ora.
tor may sometimes command general
attention. In such cases utter silence
prevails and those who interrupt are or.
dered to "shut up" AS general
thing. however, everybody is arguing at
the top of bis voice, a wild uproar goes
on, which oftentimes ends in a fight
