A DYAK WEDDING.

the descendants of the fairies of whom had
delighted to read as child. One of the great
charms of the Dyak women and young folks
is their hair. It is black, thick, glossy and
well cared for. and where allowed to flow
freely over the back it frequently touches the
ground.
Unlike most savage races, the Dyak men
treat their women with much affection and
do not throw on them the great burden of
the work. The women are good cooks, and
all the Dyaks are great eaters, as are most
people who take great deal of exercise.
These people have idols, yet they believe that
there is only one true God, but they have
innumerable evil spirits, and they have a
horror Of going near grave at night, partic-
ularly the grave Of q relative or friend.
While they are afraid of dead friends, they
= like to have the trophies of dead foes near
them. As have told you, they are great
fighters, and they are always at war with
their neighbors. The great purpose Of their
battles is to get heads-that is, they cut off
the heads Of the enemy slain in battle, and

"a II We can Australia a continent, as many
wise: men do, then Borneo would be the
largest island in the world. need not tell
you where it is, nor. that the equator runs
through it, 80 that it is warm country.
There are great many different tribes in
Borneo, with different languages and differ
emit forms of paganism; of all of these it is
well to know, but for the present shall take
up the time in telling you about the Dyaks.
The Dyaks are divided into two great
tribes, the sea Dyaks and the land Dyaks.
The latter are fierce, warlike people; and
until the civilized nations sent ships to
punish them, the former were the most dar-
ing and cruel pirates in the world. The
Dyaks of both tribes are not 80 dark as our
Indians. They are of medium height, and no
men in all the world surpass or even equal
them in strength and activity. While so
fierce and cruel, the Dyaks might be called
handsome people. The strongest men rarely
have any beard, and but for the dress, 1t
would be difficult to tell the sexes apart
The land Dyaks-even the women-tattoo
their arms and breasts but the sea Dyaks
never disfgure themselves in this way so
that it is easy to tell them apart. One of the
things that surprised me most among the
land Dyaks was the fact that all the children,
boys and girls, had the most beautiful white
teeth 1 ever saw, while the teeth of the grown
up people were as black as ink, and shone as
if they had been japanned. The stain for the
teeth is produced from the sap of native
tree, and the staining is great event among
these people. It is usually followed by a
feast, for it marks that period of life when
the girl is to be regarded as woman and the
boy as a man.
All the men, women and children among
the land Dyaks delight in adjoining their
arms and ankles with rings of brass and
coils of copper wire. The reason the sea
-Dyaks do not use these ornaments is that if
they upset their boats, the load of metal
would cause them to sink.
Although considered savages, the Dyaks
build comfortable houses, live in villages
ruled over by chief, and they are wonderfully
skillful in working iron ore into steel blades.
Their swords are only excelled by the famous
blades Of Toledo and Damascus, and they not
only make sharp, bright swords, but they are

The heads are preserved by being smoked.

Women make a great mistake in trying to
pay off all their social obligations in bulk;
nothing is more fatiguing than the prelimi-
nary work to a grand dinner or a great
reception. 1t is a great deal better, and it
will certainly be found more acceptable to
ones guests, if the social obligations be paid
gradually, and if it be to dinner, let there be
no more than the table can accommodate, or
the usual help attend to. In issuing invita-
tons to such dinner parties care should be
taken to bring together people who are con-
genial and we'll acquainted. By SO doing,
conversation, which is most important
feature of such assemblies, will be made
cheerful and pleasant and people will go
away feeling that they have had good time
and a good dinner without being able to
recall what they had to eat.

Der of prominent Denver women are inter-
ested in it. Before beginning on larger
scale and going out to revolutionize this
country, and afterwards the world, it will be
necessary to secure for the Denver club
membership of one hundred. AS only seven
teen reformers have so far signed this pledge,
we need not expect to see the proposed cos
tunes on our streets for some years to come.
MISUNDERSTANDING does not always force
itself into popularity. An attempt was made
recently to force taffeta into favor, but in
these times when women have to be economi-
cal they would be glad to know that foulard
retains its popularity. 1t is being used in
combination with soft woods and it is the
fayorite material for combining with crepons.
Cashmere is another material which has again
become popular and I am glad of it, for it is
one material that can always be depended
upon to give its own peculiar grace to drapery.
The latest cashmeres are made up with long
English overskirts showing few inches of
the underskirt beneath them. At the edge

possible to elevate it to higher rank. AS

John G. Holland said that men living with
out women and, by themselves soon, become
savage and sinful. We concede this fact;
but we should like to know what the condi-
ton of a woman would be if forced to live by
herself and in a community where there were
no men to think or bother about. I am Just
wondering whether my own sex would be-

Some one writes that 3sthe gift of beauty is
as perilous as it is often useless" do not
believe this. Physical beauty is the perfec-

ment. tits not only right to admire beauty, but
it is duty to cultivate beauty and to aim to
be beautiful, by every means that is not arti-
fetal and pernicious.

STRIKING BEYOND HARLEM. !
Work on Annexed District School
Buildings to Be Tied Up.
Supt. Snyder Claims that but Few
Men Have Struck.

The Board Of Walking Delegates has
determined to carry the war against
the Board OF Education beyond the Har-
lem, and was this morning ordering
strikes on school buildings in the An
nexed District, on which work Is being
done.
1t was stated by a delegate this morn
ing that the strikes ordered last week
are progressing satisfactorily and that
many non-union, as well as practically
all union men have quit work.
The Board of Walking Delegates will
hold meeting this evening at which
plans for commencing proceedings In
court to enforce the law requiring that
city work shall be paid for at current
wages viii be discussed.

ings Snyder still claims there is practi-
cally no strike. Last week he sent re-
guests to the janitors of all buildings
for correct statements about the situa-
ton, and at his Office this morning IL was
announced that thirty-three replies had
been received. A majority said the or
der to strike had not been obeyed. Some
said few men had quit work.
In all, according to this estimate.
there are not over twenty-five men on
strike on the thirty-three buildings. OF
these seventeen had been working on
