HOME OF THE oRANG.
Scenes witnessed In Borneo, Where These
Animals Are Most Plentiful.

Scenes witnessed In Borneo, Where These
Animals Are Most Plentiful.
The great island of Borneo is the
home of the orang, and one of the most
noticeable features Of the landscape is
the nests of the orang, which are scat
tered about thickly among the tall trees.
From their number one might get a
greatly exaggerated impression Of the
plentifulness of the species unless it
were understood how and for what pur-
pose these roosting places were con-
structed. The apes are greatly annoyed
by flies, from which they are able to
protect the front part of their bodies
with their hands, but they cannot keep
the vicious insects from hitting them in
the rear, and so they gather quantity
Of leaves and branches and make them
into touches to repose against among
the boughs
A protection of this sort serves very
well for awhile, but presently its mate
rial begins to decompose, and the decay
ing leaves attract the flies which the
orang is so anxious to get rid of. Then
he is obliged to make another nest OF
fresh stuff, and so he may require doz-
en- of them in the course of the year.
masmuch as he does not take the trouble
to remove the old one they remain to
adorn the tree top in which he swings
about Orangs have curious method
of fighting In their conflict among
themselves, which are frequent, their
effort is always to seize the fingers of
their adversaries and bite them.
1t is owing to this method Of battle
that it is almost impossible to procure
skin which does not lack some of the
fingers. If defending itself against
man, the orang will always attempt to
grasp the arms of his human opponent
so as to chew off his fingers. For this
purpose its jaws are excellently adapt
ed, being enormously powerful and
equipped with huge incisors
To protect itself from the rain the
orang crooks its arms over its head. The
hair on the orang's upper arm points
downward, the apparent purpose being
to shed the rain like thatch when the
attitude thus described is assumed

Near the flag tower at Osborne and
bordering on the carriage entrance to
the palace is charming garden, which
contains a very large myrtle tree grown
from a sprig taken out of the wedding
bouquet of the princess royal in 1858
Each royal bride has since carried a
piece of myrtle from the bush in her
bouquet on her wedding day, and two
bits were sent to Coburg for the use of
Princess Victoria Melita. Even the
Duchess of Coburg had some of the myr
tie from Osborne in her bouquet when
she was married, the queen having sent
the pieces all the way to st. Petersburg

DEALING IN HUMAN HAIR.
How Makers of Wigs and Switches IRE
Their Stock In Trade.


How Makers of wigs and Switches Treat
Their Stock In Trade.
Dealing in human hair Is peculiar
business, said the proprietor of wig
making establishment to a reporter.
People do not understand the ins and
outs of business that must on its face
seem so simple.
The mere matter Of obtaining hair
with which to make wigs, switches and
other hairwork to adorn heads poorly
favored by nature seems easy, but it is
not so. We have to exercise the greatest
care in buying hair, it being absolutely
necessary to know from what source it
has been obtained. A great deal of hair
comes from the ash barrels and garbage
piles. You can see that material of this
kind would not be at all desirable, yet
people often wonder why one wig costs
four times as much as another when in
appearance both are the same.
1.-The source from which the hair is
obtained has great deal TO do in deter
mining the price Of the goods If hair
has been cut form a fever patient the
price asked is considerably lower than
If it had been cut from the head of a
healthy person. Hair retains disease
germs longer than anything else That
this is appreciated is shown by the fact
that even after hair found In uncertain
places has been put through the severe
cleansing process to which all the ma
terial used is subjected, still IL does not
command the same price as the healthy
article. One would think that this proc
ess would kill all disease germs, but it
docs not seem to increase the value Of
such hair
when hair is collected, Il is thrown
into watts Of boiling water, where it Is
left to boil for considerable time,
After that 1t Is put through chemical

Black GeYser.

San Diego County now has gen.
uine geyser, about as near a thing
to volcano as is to be found on
American soil. The geyser was dis
covered last Wednesday in the can
on leading from Paul Santenai's
ranch, on the San Felipe grant, to
the Borega Springs, and is at the
edge of the desert.
At that point the desert wall, OF
rim rock" as it is called, is high
and abrupt, inclosing the desert like
the rim of a tub. San Felipe can
on cuts through this rim like a
crevice or crack, which it undoubted-
ly is, in what was once solid wall.
The canon is narrow, and the
walls in places are 1000 feet high.
The geyser was discovered by two
cattle herders, who were out look
ing for water for their stock, as
about this time of year new springs
appear in that region. From the
oOp VI Vic CditOu OuC VI UliClu ulill-
ly saw spout of water and climbed
down to investigate.
He got to within 100 feet and
stopped there. He did not want to
go nearer. The ground around was
Doggy and was saturated with black
water.
In the center was a pulsating
spring, which, at irregular periods,
spouted a column of black waterin-
to the air from five to seven feet,
the column being about a foot in
diameter He could not or did not
ascertain whether the water was
hot or cold. The overflow filled the
floor of the canon and rolled on in
a black stream down toward the
desert.-San Diego special in San
Francisco Examiner.

Holland Mad.

The town has suddenly gone
Holland-mad, not as that thrifty
little kingdom did when it lost it's
heart over tulips, and threatened to
bring the finances of the country to
ruin, but wisely, discreetly mad, as
New Workers become. The china
shops are filled with Delft, the sill
versmith's cases with Dutch silver,
and the very milliners display little
Dutch bonnets, fashioned like the
quaint peaked caps worn by the
good danes of old Amsterdam
Even Dutch furniture has become
craze, and fashionable shoppers
are passing by the gorgeous empire
styles, decorated with the laurel
leaf, to buy the Dutch sofas and
cabinets, curiously inlaid with rare
woods and wrought with picturesque
carving.
In far better taste is this Dutch
furniture, fashioned, as it is, by
hand to meet the domestic needs Of
a sincere, honest folk, than the EN-
pire furniture with it's bizarre Or
lamentations of gilded metal and
its mock classic patterns, designed
to suit newly created aristocracy.
If we could but bring back the
simple domestic spirit Of the Dutch
with our Dutch fashions, it would
settle many a vexing social problem;
but Dutch fashions as they now
appear are as costly as the gilded
fashions of Louis XIV, or the empire.
1t has long been an established fact
that one must pay most extravagant-
ly for refined simplicity, so that
Delft is often almost as costly as
Dresden. There are pretty fruit
