DRESSES OF PURE GOLD.

The Costumes of Sumatra Women Dis.
count Those of the Civilized Heiress.
have seen women of Sumatra wear
ing dresses of pure gold and others
wearing silver gowns, says a writer in
the New York Sun. Both these metals
are mined there in Sumatra, and the
natives possess sufficient knowledge of
the arts to s1nelt and form the ingots
into wire.
The weaving of the handsome and
costly cloths is quite the principal oc-
cupation of both the men and the
women.
Never in Christian countries do
women dress as extravagantly. I re.
member that once the chief told me he
would have two pretty maidens dress
as they would on their marriage.
The two bright-eyed girls were gone
some time and came back wearing, one
a dress OF gold and the other one Of
silver. They had bracelets one above
another from the hands and above their
elbows. At the elbows they wore pc
culiar bracelets, jointed to permit easily
moving the joint.
In brief, their arms were ar1nored
with precious metal. They had neck
laces of gems and other costly orna-
ments, and the sloth-of-gold and cloth
of-silver dresses were made loosely fit
ting above the waist and the skirts in
HOunceS.

A shabby-Coated Boy Who Understood

A lady, writing anonymously in the
Atlantic Monthly, describes o little
street encounter, in which she was put
to shame in most unlikely manner.
Twas walking along street given
over to the smallest of shops and almost
the cheapest of restaurants, when
met good looking ten-year-old boy in
shabby respectable clothes.
It was autumn and carried a bunch
Of flaming, splendid maple leaves He
stopped as if the sight of them really
took his breath away.

claimed, in a manner that was more
than polite. It lifted our interview
straightway into some rare, superhu-
man atmosphere, where perfect sim.

fortunately, this was not SO becoming
to me as to him.
I said: ''Oh, I hate tor but at the
same time began looking for the mean

He smiled his thanks reassuringly

The Luxurious Existence Of Two Young
Merchants.
Many of the white men in Singapore
keep bachelor quarters, and one de-
scription of a bachelors bunga low will

says a writer in the Toronto Globe,

among some cocoanut palms, covering
lot of ground and open on every side.
Enter in and sit; leave your pith he'll
met at the door, and one Of the bache-
lors says: CHOW, wouldn't you take a
gin fzz? It's very nice" And before
the visitor can answer he calls out:
"Boy!'' when from some unforeseen
screen OF crack a China boy appears
and gets the order. In few minutes
he returns with a long glass filed with
tsgin izz" and powdered ice, and then
the host goes on and asks the guest to
take champagne and port and sherry
and cognac and a julep, and I can't go
on; there were more, but I really for
get the names. This is hospitality in
+ the orient. There are sixteen servants
for these two white boys, and such at
tendance and obsequiousness spoils
them, let alone the question of running
their stonachs by so many liquor con-
coctions.

LIFE IN TIE TROPICS.
The Terrible Midnight Visitors Which
Arouse the Natives.

Arouse the Natives.
The perils of daily life in the tropics
are almost ilconceivable to jewellers in
other clines. In Borneo village, IL
man and his ten-year-old son were
sleeping in their house inside a mos
quito netting. They were on the floor
near the wall In the middle Of the
night the father was. awakened by his
son calling out. Tt was totally dark
and the father passed his hand over his
son, but found nothing aaiss, so he
turned over and went to sleep again,
thinking the boy was dreaming: Short
~ afterward the child again called out,
saying crocodile was taking him.
This time the father, thoroughly
aroused, lit a Lamp, and found that a
snake had closed it's jaws on the boys
head. He shouted, and, the snake re-
leased it's hold, drew the whole Of it's
body into the house and encircled the
body of the father. He was rescued by
the neighbors, who were attracted by
the cries for help Of the terrified couple.
The snake when killed was found to be
fifteen feet long, and the head and fore
head Of the boy was surrounded by a
circle of punctured wounds produced by
the python's teeth.

Emigration from the Killarney dis

Saturday, July 25tb, witnessed one OF
those pathetic and affecting scenes
which have taken place at the Killarney
station during the past five months.
During April and May and the early
part of June, week after week. without
cessation, large numbers of Young peo-
pie were departing for the United
States. This continual drain comes al
most wholly from the agricultural
closes. and results, generally, III the
expatriation of the best portion of the
community. The emigration from
these pats may he traced to the fact
that the young people who emigrated
in the past have done we'll and pros
pered IN their new homes in America,
which is great inducement for their
friends to follow their example.
