HOME OF THE oRANc.
Scenes Witnessed In Borneo, Where These
Animals Are Most Plentiful.

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 biting them in
the rear, and so they gather a quantity
of leaves and branches and make them
into couches 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
Inasmuch 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 a 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 a
skin which does not lack some of the
fingers. If defending itself against a
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 it's 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. -

A local philosopher, who makes a
practice of observing other peoples
manners and commenting upon their
habits, states that nearly every man now
carries a pocket mirror. According to
him, this habit has grown immensely
of late, and nearly every man can be-
observed at frequent intervals pulling a
glass out of his pocket and looking at
the set of his necltie OF the appearance
of his whiskers. Philadelphia Call

A story is told of two Irishmen who

of a burning building. One of them
hastily drew ON his trousers and jumped
from the window. In his fright and

Manuscript of "rhe School For Scandal"

No printed version of "The School
For Scandal" was prepared for publica-
ton by Sheridan. He always alleged
that he could not supply one with which
he was perfectly satisfied. Yet he made
the attempt, and Mr.. Fraser Rae has
discovered the copy containing his final
corrections of passages in many scenes,
which Moore must have overlooked, the
documents at his disposal having recent
ly been put into Mr. Fraser Rae's hands
by Sheridan's descendants for the pur-
pose of writing a complete biography of
the great dramatist and orator. The
manuscript is imperfect, YET enough is
extant to show how effectually Sheridan
could add fresh charm to his polished
phrases. London Atheneum.

DEMoCRACY AND REFORM.

Those voters who desire real gen.
ulne reform will do more by voting
with Democracy than with any Other
political faction. The party doe.
not hold out extravagant bats that
could never be secured, or promises
to give every ons $50 per capita and
free ride, but 1t has instituted re.
forms. IL has lowered the expenses
Of the government fifty millions; il
has repealed the federal election
laws; IL will reduce tariff seventy
five million, prqned down the pension
list, and instituted other reforms.
No party will ever come up to
the full expectations of every voter,
or the pledges 1t holds out for gen.
eral approval. When man goes
fishing he expects to bring back big
string Of fish, but he generally goes
home with a few minpows. The
bait was poor, the wind blew, the
fish wouldn't bite, end things did not
pan out at all. This government is
not the creation Of one year or two
years, and it is too big to be turned
bottom side mp trying schemes that
hold out only promises. The coun-
try Is not IN the best shape, all are
willing to admit, but is young aud
vigorous and will get better il the
bleeding can be stopped which has
sappeAthe country under the Repub-
lican rule. Democracy will restore
the country, Republicanism will
bleed IL. Third partyism made
some show, 80 did minorism, green
backism, and other so called reform
movements, but they all lacked the
legs tf securing that following that
Is accorded the old parties. The
fight in the future will be between
Democracy and Republicanism I;
therefore are you going to throw
your vote away, or cast II for hon.
est government with some show of
success?.
