There are only few miles of railroad

harmless and industrious race, and
mingle more with the Dlalays than any
other people. In appearance they are
not unlike the Malays, but they are of q
more yellowish color. They make ex-
cellent laborers on the coffee plantations
and are now largely imported from
Java.
The native Malays are chiefly boatmen
and fishermen, and they form the main
part of the population. The harbor is an
excellent one, and is always crowded
with ships of all Nations, from the i'm
posing men-of-war down to the more
humble Malay and Chinese junks. Fish

and Australia, and consists of number
OF large and small islands located almost
on the equator. Three of these islands
are larger than Great Britain, and one of
-Borneo-is larger than the whole
OF the British Isles put together. This
region enjoys climate more uniform
and hotter than any other part of the
globe, and all kinds of tropical fruits and
flowers IRE found in it. It also teens
with animal life, including the man eat
ing tiger, elephant, ourang-outang, etc.
1t is inhabited by an interesting race of
mankind, the Malay. This peculiar and
at one time warlikc race is found nowhere
else except in these regions. Hence the
name Malay Archipelago.
Few places are of greater interest

port of Decentralization for all ports of the

leaves from the stems, wash them and
drain them in a sieve, and mince them

the leaves together in a little pile on an

French cooks always chop up their
herbs in this way and even their meats,

HOUSE LIFE.
Amssltics Of the J.iss ana somc Punsens
gRomnrks.

RonArks.
Many Of the largo old-fashioncd
houses in Washington are owned by
persons whose incomes are In inverse
ratio TO the size Of their dwellings,,
therefore they take q few boardcrs or
else rent rooms. In one of these houses
a certain journalist has the back room
Just across the broad hall from the
back parlor.
One Friday night recently he was ont
later than usual, so oversight himself
the next morning aud did not leave the
house until about IL o'clock. When he
'opened the front door he saw hearse,
and several carriages standing In front
Of the house and. as he wa naturally
little curious TO know who was sbo-
rcaved, he said TO q hackman who was
leaning against the fence:
y who is dead? Where Is the funcralr'
y He says you might have knocked him
down with = feather when the man re-
piled, looking ut him with surprise:
'In your house, sir!"
DIR. r was at that moment read
ing the burial service In the front par
Tor. The deceased, a lady, was only u
a visitor in the city and her friends had,
Mt first, intended TO take her to her
home In W--for interment; therefore,
no Grape was hung on the door and no
| announcement Of her death was Inserted
in the paper. They sftcrwsrd decided TO
Law her In q vault n one Of the Washing
ton cemeteries, but, ~ her friends were
few, no one but the half dozen relatives
were ut the funeral. Hence there was
no confusion and no stir In the hall to
attract attention when the journalist
left his room.
Most Of the people who room in this
house are middle aged, quiet people;
the only young man, Mr.. L~--, has the
hall ruDm up one flight. Last week he
went 20 his landlsdy's sitting room In
the back building Tor ~ and tapped ut
the door.
'Come in" said some one.
So he entered, aud there sat n stran-
ger who looked comfortable and very
much ut home, in smoking jacket, cap
and slippers. Nj. l. asked II his
landlady were there.

"Oh! Can I-er-er-do anything for

''Ohl Well, II you go downstairs and

It Made Them Sick.

The town of Dexter can boast the
hardcst-hearted set of wags to be
found anywhere. says the Lewiston
Me.) Journal. The most of them are
constantly on the lookout for the sub
jcct OF a practical Joke. and hardly a
day passes that they do not find one.
The latest is on the fresh cigar drum
mer, who thought his merchandise
better than anything of the sort on
earth. In his travels he carries in
his coat pocket a big cigar case and
advertises himself and his goods by
giving freely of his brands to any
who will smoke them. He was in
Dexter this week. The day was hot.
and he left his coat and cigar case on
a chair while he sat in a cooling
draught in the door. One of the
jokcrs got a rubber comb and broke
out twenty teeth. They were small
and sharp. Into the end of each
cigara rubber tooth was pushed, and
with a small nail the tooth was
driven in out of sight. The tobacco
leaf came together, completely hid
ing the tooth. Then the jokers
waited for the fun. Soon the cigar
man, we'll cooled down, began bust
ness. Going into a store, he first
gave away a cigar, which the intend
ed customer began to smoke. Soon
the air was odorifcrous, not with a
sweet and fragrant smell, but with
one not unlike that of old gunlocks
or burning rubber boots. The cuS-
toner sickened and threw away the
weed, and said he had on hand cigars
enough to last all summer. Another
dealer had a similar experience. Still
another was given a days nausea,
and when that drummer got through
with his gifts he was hated by nearly
every cigar dealer in town. He
packed his goods in sorrow, and does
not know to this day that an old
rubber comb from the stable box of
a hostler wrecked him commercially
in Dexter.

Character Mako. the Mar,

The mar Of character is always the
man of iron nerve; he may not be a
great statesman or politician: he may
be humble in his associations and his
aspirations; but with all these excep-
tions, ii he has character his heart is
right. his integrity is mistaken. He
looks on truth with a clear vision.
acting in accordance with it's glorious
dictates; he does not fear nor shun
the face Of his fellow-man, for his
heart is white with integrity, and he
looks kumbly and trustingly up to
the source Of truth, and his fellow
beings, in a lower sense, look up to
him because he is trustworthy, and,
in short, has character-good and
staple character. Character is the
cornerstone Of individual greatness

the majestic structure Of the true
and dignifed man, who is ct once a
subject and a king.
