strongly

dian. / used to admire the beautiful
yet simple figures with which they
tattooed their faces and bodies. At
the extreme end from this island are
the Javanese, now under Dutch do
minion. On the island of Java we
have two types of people. When l
was boy | remember seeing pictures
purporting to represent the various
tribes of men, and among them ! have
a recollection of Il Javanese who might
have sat as the model for an ancient
Grecian sculptor. However, these
classic features, am now told, belong
only TO the upper classes of natives on
Java, probably race of conquerors,
whereas the common people are Ma
lays and, from our point of view, al
though haudsomer than the Chinese,
are still far from being ideally beauti-
full.
A special exhibit viii be made from
these islands. The Oceanic Trading
company has two hundred thousand
feet along the Midway Plaisance for
this purpose. 1t is intended there to
show the life of the common people of
the Dutch East Indies and some other
islands, including Java, Sumatra,
Borneo, the Philippine, Friendly,
Society, Solomon and Fiji islands. New
Zealand, Samoa and Hawaii

to keep body and soul together and not
more. 1t is only at tea harvest-time
that ne really does work five or six
weeks in succession. BY the way, they
raise great deal OF excellent tea in
Java, which, oddly enough, is not used
in the United States at ali. They raise
and export rice in large quantities and,
in fact, had large export trade before
the Dutch forced upon them the bless
ings of western civilization. But their
social conditions are primitive. Such
thing as the division of labor is almost
unknown. Every man is his own farmer,
carpenter, weaver, tailor, cook, etc.
1t is only in some of the trades requir-
ing a higher degree OF skill, such rs
silver work, furniture and wood earv-
ing, that any specialists can develop,
and it is here they show considerable
aptitude.
Their dress is primitive also. This
women wear blouse of some soft ma
terial and n skirt of what they call
sarang. This is peculiar kind Of
dress over which woman will some
times spend eight or nine months.
They take piece of calico and dye it
to .he tint they want for basis. With
an instrument like = pencil they trace
the outlines OF the figures and thez
boil 7Ie cloth il wax Then little
melting pot that has fine spout is
filed with the paint and melted wax
and moving the spout over the outlines
the contents are poured out on the
cloth.
In an audience hall the Javanese at
the worlds fair will give public exhi-
bitions of their native entertainments
There will be dancers, boxers, wrest-
lcrs, jugglers and other athletes.
There are two kinds OF orchestras. One
is the gamelan% or gong band, where
only gongs are used. The music is
strange, but is said to be, at times, very
sweet and melodious even to western
people. The gamelang is always ac-
companied by mariCnetteS who. give
something thai will remind you of the
old-fashloned Punch and Judy show.
Another orchestra is supplemented by
string and wind instruments, with
violins of ivory and bamboo.
A unique exhibit will be the dancers
of the sultan of Okjerkarta, who Is
said 20 have the largest and best
equipped corps of female dancers on
the island. The dance is described rs
entirely different from anything that
is seen anywhere else. IN fact, it
would scarcely be called dancing By
us who are accustomed to see people
jump around and chase one another
over the floor. This Javanese dancing
consists almost entirely of posturing
TO slow music, and the movements are
said to be marvellous, even the fingers
taking part in them. The dresses are
rich and often very beautiful.
The sultan of Johore, an island near
Singapore, will be here with his suite.
This man is said To have $40, 0O0, coo
worth of diamonds and is fond OF dis
playing them. He is preparing twelve
or fifteen houses, which VIII be shipped
in q short time.

. BY Proxy.

An elderly man of sedate and side
whiskered appearance sat down with
great violence on the sidewalk near the
corner of State and Madison yesterday
afternoon to the serious damage of an
irreproachables suit of black and shiny
silk hat.
As he rose slowly to his feet, picked
up his demoralized hat, and looked
about him. his face purple with wrath,
his lips firmly compressed, the veins in
his neck swollen, his features working
as if in an epileptic fit, and his fingers
opening and closing as though moved
by an uncomfortable impulse to clutch
something or somebody, 4 young man
who was hurrying along slipped and
fell at the same place on the sidewalk
where the gray-haired and sedate old
party had come to grief.
"Blankety-blanl the dad-binged,
billy-be-dad- busted slippery old coal
hole covers to stagnation and back
again!' he vociferated, picking himself
up.
Young man." exclaimed the elderly
victim, grasping him fervently by the
hand, II thank you! You have saved
my life!''-Chicago Tribune.

Thus one of the most interesting
divisions of the fair was gotten up By
private enterprise. Along the Midway
Plaisance you will find representatives
of many of those nations and tribes
which 20 us are strange, and, for that
reason, attractive. After passing
through Algiers and Tunis. along the
east of Africa to Egypt where we make
a stop at Cairo, and look ut the model

So you can see the Fiji islander with
as much safety as you laugh at q lion
in a menagerie, and i am assured that
the wild man from Borneo" will come
to town and will be there in several
specimens.
The space for this exhibit has been
divided into two parts. one on either
side of the Midway Plaisance. One
half will be devoted to the islands of
Java, Sumatra and Borneo.
AS the touch of old King Midas turned
everything into gold. so everything
that has any connection with the
worlds fair grows far beyond the
original conception. So in this case.
1t was intended to have about sixteen
to twenty houses of natives. But they
tell me now that thirty-seven houses
have already been built and there are
liable to be forty or fifty. These
houses are curious in themselves. Like
the huts of the herdsmen in Switzer-
land there is not nail used in their
construction. The former builds en-
tirely of wood and uses brackets and
clamps to hold the beams together.
The Javanese builds his house of bam-
boo. The poorer ones simply plant
the bamboo poles close together and
lash them with rope or whatever is
handy. Those who are better off split
up the bamboo into thin strips and
braid them together in basket work,
often making a wall that is perfectly
weather proof. The roof is covered
a1v,,
leaves and grasses.
The houses present 4 unique appear
ance when placed together in village.
Most of them are square and there Is
no effort at ornamentation. To an
American they look more like lot Of
barns In fact, they have little more
furniture than a barn. There is in
them Il platform raised eight to four.
teen inches above the floor, which
serves rs a table. 4 bench, bed, etc.
The natives say that the reason they
raise it at ali instead of sleeping on
the floor IS that they do not want tc
offend the serpents They say that il
a serpent finds no obstacle it Will crawl
along and not hurt any body. So II il
should get into the house it can crawl
along anywhere, whereas if the peo'
pie should sleep on The floor it would
have to crawl over them ana i move

bite. Evidently the Javanese do moi
like reptiles so wcll as did that couple
who were recently found i'll the Pal
mer house in this city with Il young
alligator for a bedfellow.

Mr. Crawford has followed various

that promised fair remuneration. He
served on the Board of Trade as

James W. Crawford is one of the

unlimited pluck and energy. He was
born in Clicago-on the North Side

career he has been a hard working
and consistent Democrat, and his

His influence has always been thrown

Until full provision is made in the
primary grades for every child In
Chicago applying for use of the COM

not to be used for any purpose other
than simple elemental education.
When such provision is made it will
lie within the discretion of the school
authorities to provide means of wider

plan there is no room for those fads
which the common sense of the COM
