AN UNPLEASANT COUNTRY.
Some of the Objections to Living in North

Some of the Objections to Living in North
ern Borneo.
The northern half of the island of
3orneo is the queerest and most I'M
satisfactory place to live that one can
imagine, thinks the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. 1t is land of constant re-
curing phenomena, where cyclones
are frequent and deluges of water very
common. The vegetation in that half
is very fine, but in all probability the
widest and most tangled on earth
not even excepting that of Africa. The
cause of all the trouble is the shallow
condition of the sea north of it, great
shoals of sand existing few miles out
which extend along it's entire northern
length. These shoals are covered by a
depth of water not over five feet deep.
The constantly recurring winds that
blow in that climate change to hurri-
canes and sweep the smaller islands of
all visible life. When such a storm
strikes the sand shoals north of Bor-
neo it sweeps up the shallow salt water
in its course and drenches the island
with it. Often it gathers up sand,
great masses of it, from the clear
swept shoal and whirls it for miles
high over the island, carrying it into
the island and scattering it every
where. The work of these storms does
not always end with that. Entire
shoals of fish, of all sizes, have been
swept up time and again by the fierce
wind with the water and sand and
scattered about Borneo In some places
the ground would be literally covered
with fish, enough to supply heavy
population for weeks. But such luck
is no PREPARATION for the evil the winds
do, and consequently the northern half
will never be inhabited by those who
value their lives.

a BOY'S PLUCK.
NineYear- Old David Captures a Thirty.
Two Pound Carp.

Nine-Year- old David Captures Thirty
Two Pound Carp.
An exciting combat between nine
year-old boy and thirty-two-pound
German carp took place on James
Moore's farm, near Bristol, says the
Philadelphia Record. The Neshaminy
creek in rainy seasons fills the bitches
of adjacent farms with water from
eighteen inches to two feet deep. The
other day David Cherry, the young son
of John Cherry, of this place, and two
small companions went fishing up the
creek. In one of the open bitches on
the Moore farm the lads espied three
huge carp Topping about, the water
being too shallow for them to swim
without greatly disturbing the sur
face. David, pluckier than his play
mates, jumped into the ditch and
seized the largest of the monster fish.
The carp, nearly as big as the boy, had
the advantage, being in it's native ele-
ment. Young Cherry had tight hold
of it, but the carp plunged through
the water and mud, dragging the lad
behind. The boys on shore thought
their companion would surely be
drowned, for often his whole body was
under water. At last the fish grew SO
weary in his mighty efforts to escape
his captor that he could be thrown out
upon the bank. Then all three boys
jumped upon the carp and held him to
the ground until he had gasped out his
life. They lugged their trophy home
and put it on the scales. The fish
weighed thirty-two pounds.

DANDIES IN THE ARMY.
German Soldiers Who Bedeck Themselves
with Finery.

with Finery.
Referring to the recent order of the
German emperor with regard to the
dandyfied irregularities which had be-
come common in the German army,
says the London Globe, a correspon-
dent at Berlin calls our attention to
the fact that the kaiser himself is not
altogether free from affectation of this
kind, inasmuch as he himself sets the
fashion of bangle wearing In most
of the many portraits of the kaiser the
bangle is brought into special promi-
nence by the position of the arm. But
though addicted to the bangle, he new
er condescended to the earring, which
formerly was very commonly worn
among his officers.
In the time of Frederick William H.,
when the German army was resting on
the laurels of the great Frederick, dan
dies fourished in great numbers among
the officers, in spite of severe official
condemnations of foppery. The mon
strosities and extravagances differed
but slightly from those of to-day
sharp-pointed toes, ridiculously high
collars and short overcoats without
seams. Latter-day exquisites have also
adopted the plan of crowding on the
finger as many rings as possible-he
who can carry the largest number on
the ring fingers and at the same time
bend his finger being considered to
have the bluest blood.

The Tendency of the Speculation Was to
 Buy Back shorts.
 W York, Dec. 29-The bank state
 | to-day was a curiosity. It had
 reckoned that the s2,0OO,00O export
 old last Saturday would be offset
 he currency received this week from
 interior. This is confirmed by the
 ement, which shows practically no
 loss in cash. It seems, however, not only last Saturdays s2,000, 900 ort gold was obtained in exchange -. notes from the sub-treasury, but practically all the net interior receipts of currency were promptly redeemed in gold by the same means. Thus, while the weeks actual trade operations in- volved gain of s2,OOO,OOO greenbacks and loss of $2,O00,O00 gold, the drafts on the sub-treasury have exactly re- versed the situation.
 The tendency of surface spectators was to buy back their shorts, which caused rather general recovery in prices and a steady closing. The No- vember statements issued to-day com- pare as a rule quite favorably with 1893, only the Erie and the Jersey Central

English leather gloves were sold all over Europe fin l241.

English leather gloves were sold all over Europe in l247. 4. The glove Is first mentioned as e common article of dress in i0l6.
 Silk hats began to supersede the old. style beaver or wool hats in 1920. The huge run was brought from Italy to France by Catherine de Medici. About is4l the apron was an indis- pensable part Of every lady's dress. Diaper was first made at Ypres, in Flanders. 1t is believed, before 1900. Joseph's coat of many colors. probably an embroidered tunic, was made B. c. 172s.
 Calico was first introduced from Cali cut, in India, as stun for gentlemen's s clothes.
 The leathern apron worn by the black smith Is mentioned by Pliny as in use in his lime.
 The earliest shoes were simply pieces of hide or skin drawn in purse fashion around the ankle with q string. In A. D. S94 the breeches-makers were expelled from Rome. and all persons were ordered to discontinue wearing brooches.
 The hoopskirt was in full feather in 1696. It was then made of iron and sometimes weighed as much as thirty pounds.
 Hats of modern style were first made by Swiss at Paris In 1404. Before that time hoods and caps were gener- ally worn.
 The stove-pipe hat appeared during the war between king and parliament in England, and has scarcely changed Its form from that time to the present.
 The buttons at the backs of the coats are survival. Formerly there was a button-hole In the forward corner of each skirt, and when gentleman was walking or riding, he turned his skirts and buttoned them 10 the bottom at his back. The buttons on the wrists of our coats are relics of the days when the sleeves were so long that they cov- cred the tips of the fingers, and the cuffs were turned back and buttoned when the hands were employed.

 My Dear Mir. Jepson:
 Although not one of your scholars" yet my connection with the Gounod society has been such that can thor oughly appreciate your great services in laying the. foundations for a suc- cessful choral society. I have many times spoken you of as the father of the Gounod society. Our rapid ad- vance has certainly been partially due to the excellence of our public school instruction in music-under your tul- tion. Verify every scholar who runs may read"
 I am glad that we have reached a point in your career when public recog- milton of these facts can be taken.
 Wishing you all success and with all compliments of the season, believe me.
 Very Sincerely Yours,

 Miss Mary H. Mansfield writes: "Yours of yesterday was received with pleasure, a life work such as Professor Jepson's, is not met with every day. You may consider yourself authorized to put me down on your program, and be assureed I will do my level best for my old teacher. have never forgotten the first "Star" Professor Jepson gave me down in old Webster, room 2.

A Woman and n Horse Car.

From the Philadelphia Times.
There Is one thing woman never seems
to understand about street car, and that
Is that 1t Is run on schedule time or at
least there is a pretense at it. and that Just
so many minutes are figured out for q
stop at each crossing. This fact seems
never to enter her head. If she chances
to be with party of friends on the street
corner, she signals the car with her UNI
breiia, at the same time continuing her
conversation.
Lovely Dress Clara. Oh. just dream
know you will like it," and SO on.
The car has stopped, but she does not
seem to be aware of the fact She is say
ing:
We'll, now, come and see me: don't for
get. You promised to, and you know Won
owe me a call"
Hurry up. lady. please"
Now, don't forget to come and see me +"
PLEASE hurry If you want to get on this
BE sure to come. I'm home Tuesdays,
you know"
The conductor Is swearing to himself by
this time. under his breath. of course, but
none the less fervently. He pulls out his
watch and consults the time, but the
would-be passenger does not observe the
movement
well. goodbye, Now, don't forget to
pay me that visit. Home Tuesdays, you
know. Well, 1 must go. Here's the car"
And with an air that she and not the car
has been waiting all the time the fair lady
steps up to the vehicle and inquiries of the
conductor:
Does this car go down 10Th street?'
Nom. this car goes all the way out
Then don't want to get on; am going
down 18th street"
The conductor reaches up and pulls the
bell rope with great vigor, that being the
only way he can demonstrate his feelings

A Big Pile of Goldfish.

From the Lewiston Journal
Imagine 4,5OO quintals, or 5O4.OOO pounds.
or 352 tons. or lib cords Of saited cod and
pollock, all neatly piled up in one building,
and you will have before you the largest
stock OF fish in the city OF Portland at the
present time 1t has all been brought from
Nova Scotia and Newfoundland since the
10th Of October. There is one pile OF four
teen tons Of specially selected goldfish. They
were big fellows when taken from the
water and weighed then from 40 to 80
pounds each. Now they weigh from rs to
30 pounds apiece. When they have been
stripped Of the skin, carefully boned trim
med into slices Of fautless flesh like SO
much clean clear bread or cheese and
packed in boxes marked homeless fish,"
they Will weigh but from II to Is pounds
apiece. Such is the shrinkage OF an 80
pound Goldfish into the perfect food product
In the trimming process, about ~ pounds
OF scrap are removed to every 100 pounds
or the homeless slices. This is, Of course
good food tissue, though 1t looks decidedly
like "leavings." 1t is sold for about = cents
pound. Country fish peddlers buy 1t,
sometimes in 100 and 15O-pound lots, end
sell II TO farmers and villagers to make
into nash, for about 10 cents pound. The
skins are packed in barrels and sent away
10 gloucester. Mass. where they are made
into glue They bring about cent and a
halr a pound. The bones sell for 81 or 50 a
ton. and are hauled over to Cape Elizabeth
to be utilized as a fertilizer for cabbages.
