GIRLS QUEER FANciEs.
Lived In Fear OF the Coming OF the

There was no church In our neigh.
borhood, and II was only at rare inter-
walls that a preacher came from some
near settlement or from the village
and preached at the schoolhouse."
writes "A Secluded Girl" in the Octo-
Der Ladies' Home Journal. "The first
sermon that I have any distinct re-
membrance Of hearing made a deep
impression upon ME. The minister
was a nan OF such melancholy cast OF
countenance, of such sombre aspect
and gloomy appearance, that / shrank
from him instinctively as II an icy
wind had gone out from him and en-
tered my soul. For months afterward

the terror his words had inspired,
inwardly fearful at the same time lest
God should punish me for such a wick
ed aversion for one Of His ministers. /
was particularly depressed by the
preachers description OF the Judgment
Day. which. he averred, might come
upon us at any time--early In the
morning perhaps, following some
night on which the stars had fallen.
The perpetual dread Of this awful ca
lainity was another source of mental
anguish to me that drove sleep from
my eyes during the silent hours Or
manv 4 night. At such times L often
stole from my bed to see VI the stars
were still in the sky, and when I saw
them shining In the heavens a sense OF
thankfulness came over me. and re-
turned to my bed and surrendered my
self to slumber. During this period OF
fear OF the coming of the Judgment
Day there was but one night of the
week In which l rested securely, and
this was Saturday night. for I reasoned
that al Gcd had rested on the Sabbath
day He would not choose that day on
which to destroy the world"

A SMALL REALM.
UNIQUE KINGDOM IN REMOTE
CORNER or ASIA.
Especial Letter.D

There liz q unique kingdom hidden
away In a corner OF Asia OF which mos,
people know nothing or at most the
bare outline. II was founded by an
Englishman, and is ruled by an Eng
lish king as absolutely as all the Rus
sias are ruled by the car. and yet
England has no right. even of super
vision, In It's internal government, and
the warships OF at least three great
powers salute It's flag when they an
Choir within Its territorial waters.
Its name Is Sarawak, and its present
king Is Sir Charles Johnson Brooke.
He succeeded the first king. his uncle.
Sir James Brooke, whose life story
reads like n romance.
The son OF a civil servant OF the
Honorable East India company. James
Brooke was born In India in 1903, and,
after attending the Norwich grammar
school, received an ensign's commits
sion In the Sixth Native infantry of
the Bengal army. and Joined his corps
Mt the age OF 16. He was seriously
wounded In an engagement In the first
Burmese war. In which he commanded
o body Of volunteer native calvary, and
on returning from England WHITTIER
he had been on furlough-sulered
shipwreck, and was thus delayed In
%rejoiniEg his regiment, to which he
had been recalled.
As II afterward proved. this was q
lucky accident, for Il ultimately led to
his reslgning his commission and sew
erlng his connection with the East
India company. In the voyage which
he subsequently made TO China he first
saw the isles of the Malay archipelago.
and some inner voice then whispered
that his destiny awaited him In those
lo~ng-neglected gardens OF the East.
The possibilities OF adventure and
discovery which Borneo held were suf-
ficient attraction for an adventurous
man; but above and beyond this rose
an ambition to extirpate piracy and
slavery. TO reform a distracted country
by methods of his own. to stand as a
shield between oppressor and OPP
pressed; and It was an ambition to
which he remained consistent to his
last breath.
In the face of great difficulties a
yacht was procured and manneu. ana
In this Mr.. Brooke set sail for Brunei
in the year 1888. The sultan of Brunei
was little better than an imbecile, and

A student OF animal habits made
some experiments recently with ,nusi,
at the London Zoo. Here Is his ac-
count OF the effect on a tiger: The
violin player approached q sleeping
tiger, which was lying on It's side. with
feet stretched, touching the a z bars.
He played SO softly that the opening
notes were scarcely audible. AS the
sound rose, the tiger woke, and, rails.
ing its head without moving It's body,
locked for some time with fixed atten-
ton at the player. II remained for
some time In a very fine attitude, lis
tening to the music, and then, making
the curious sound that, in tiger Ian
guage does duty for ''purrlng," It lay
down again and dozed. The soft mu-
sic Vas played on, while the great
beast lay as II mlled to sleep. The
violin was then put aside for the pic
colo. Judge of our surprise when, at
the first notes OF the new instrument.
the tiger sprang to It's feet and rushed
up and down the cage, shaking its
head and flashing It's tail from side to
side. AS the notes became louder and
more piercing. the tiger bounded
across the cage reared on its hind
feet and exhibited the most ludicrous
contrast to the calm dignity and repose
with which II had listened to the vio-
lin. Then zane the final and most
successful experiment. The piccolo
was stopped and a very soft air played
upon the flute. The difference in effect
was seen at once. The tiger ceased to
"rampuge, and the leaps subsidized to
q gentle walk, until the animal came
to the bars, and. standing still and
quiet once more, listened with pleasure
to the music. There are nan men"
the student remarks, on summing up
his experiments In music at the Zoo.
there are perahps many races OF men,
who could not detect a discord, and
would alike be indifferent I o harmony
and its opposite. Yet among the brutes
on which the experiments were tried
the sudden start of ~displeasure at a
discord was general from the snakes
! to the African elephant"

There are two types OF tramps in

cants. who are protected by the church

national name among themselves is

perfectly able to do so-they reply In
the forlornest voice mortal ever heard.

OF human beings are foreordained to
a life of misery and sadness. and they

less desirable than Rajah Brooke's, for
