Fine Specimens of Humanity Who Fol-
low Curious Customs.
Physically the Dyaks of Borneo are
fine race, and it is said that some of the
women are pretty even to European ewes
though many OF the ladies would NOT.
perhaps, be regarded az bellies in Lon
don ballroom. They have great admira-
tlon Tor tiuency of speech and their ora
tory is howery. The marriage customs
are very curious, but the prohibited de-
grees (which seem to be strictly OBJ
seryed) are much the same as our own.
"A Dyak may not marry his deceased
wiie's sister, nor, by the way, NAV he
marry his first cousin. Divorce is exceed
lngiy frequent, and is nearly a matter of
mutual arrangement. Superstition has
almost the force of the law, and when a
couple are newly married, if a deer utter
cry at night near the house at which
they are living they must separate at
once and finally or else the death of one
OF them would ensue. Yet, notwithstand-
ing the lightness of the bonds which unite
them, husband and wife are often deepIv
devoted to each other; and there is a
story of how, when a man was seized by
an alligator, his vile sprang into the
river shrieking, Take me Also" and
had seen the alligator sink with his prey.
She swan about in all the places most re-
sorted 10 by the ferocious reptiles in the
hope OF dying with her husband, and it
was with difficulty that her friends forci-
bly, removed her from the water.
Some OF the Dyaks burn their dead, the
cere emony being accompanied by various
offerings intended to pIopitiate the ghost
OF the deceased. The tribes by the sea,
however, generally resort to burial, often
after sort of lying-in- state to which the
corpse is dressed in clothes richly orna-
mented. In one or two districts there is a
custom of letting boats drift out to sea
containing various articles belonging to
the deceased, whose soul is supposed in
this way to travel to some unknown world
beyond the ocean. In former days slave
woman was sometimes chained down in
thes death boats and the MaIays from
ne ghboring islands used to b. on the
lookout for them, so that they might OBJ
tain boat, slave and property free of ex-
