Keen the Hands Clean.

To keep the hands nice, cleanliness
is the first essential, and, therefore,
when rough work has to be done it is
well, il possible, to put on gloves. Pre-
vention is better than cure, and as
nothing spoils the hands like getting
them grimed it should be avoided as
far as possible. When this occurs,
however, don't go to work upon them
with soap and brush. Instead, take
some vaseline or oil and rub it into
the hands and then wash them thor
oughly with a good toilet soap and a
piece OF flannel in warm water. The
flannel will soon clean them and with
out injuring the skin in any way. 1t
ia far better than a nail brush for ordi-
nary use and If used regularly nail
brush will be found almost, if not en-
tirely, superfluous.

Deludine Young Filipinos.

In the maps of Europe which were
used in the Filipino schools under the
Spanish regime a large place in the
center of the continent, usually occu-
pylng more than one-half the page,
was marked Spain; all the rest OF the
countries were scattered about the
edge. Thus the young Filipino came
to have a very distorted idea of the
magnitude of the country Of his op-
pressors. Even Aguinaldo was sur
prised to learn that America covers y
greater area than Spain.

of Dyaks, under the command Of
Captain Keppel and Mr. Brooke, pro-
ceeded 10 or 80 miles up the great riv-
ers and their tributaries, and attacked
the strongholds of Serebus and Sa-
karran, so that for the first time in
native experience these pirates were
bearded in their dens.
The fighting was Of the most inter-
esting description. and was attended
by quite respectable number Of casu-
alties on the winning side.
Brooke's best fighting man, Patingi
Ali; Mr.. Seward, one Of his white
staff; Lieutenant Wade Of the Dido.
and many another brave Englishman
and Dyak met their deaths in these
battles. but in attaining their object
the expeditions were entirely success
full. The once dreaded chief, Serif
Sahib, was driven across the noun
tains single and unattended, beyond
the reach of doing further harm.
In 1S47 Rajah Sir James Brooke
visited England and met with an en-
thusiastic reception from those who
could understand and appreciate his
work. He was hidden to Windsor,
where the queen not only made him a
knight of the Bath, but conferred on
him the appointments of governor Of
Labuan and consul general of Borneo.
Two years before his death, in July,
1868, the independence of Sarawak
was recognized by America, Italy and
England, and the great man died with
the knowledge that it had entered on
the path of prosperity, with increasing
population, trade and revenue.
Sir Charles Brooke, his successor,
was born in 1929, and having spent 10
years in the royal navy, served under
his uncle for 20 years in Sarawak. He
married the Rance, Margaret, only
daughter of Mr.. de Windt of Bluns-
don Abbery, Wiltshire, England, in
1863, who is now queen of Sarawax.
By concessions and purchases of ter
ritory, including coal mines, harbors
and splendid rivers away to the north
chiefly from the declining sultanate
of Brunei, Sarawak has increased to
13 times it's original area. 1t now
comprises $4,000 miles-five times the
size of Belgium-with 400 miles of
coast line, and has population of 30O,-
900. Notwithstanding, the cost of its
efficient administration is less than
that of any Asia,!c country preside-
over by FurOneans It's expenditure
is about 100000 annually.

TO USE INSECT EPiDEMICS.
Agricultural Department Tells How to XIII
Insects.

Agftcultural Department Tells How to XIII
Insects.
The experts Of the Agricultural De
partment have discovered a Contagious
disease. which can be disseminated by
insects with deadly effect to the pests,
but without danger of spreading an
epidemic among members of the hu-
man race. BY close observation 1t has
been discovered that many annoying
insects have distemper, some of high
ly contagious character. By propagat-
ing these disease germs and spreading
them, so that the insects will be af-
fected, contagion is spread and havoc
follows. Farmers will be especially in
terested in the announcement that a
disease among grasshoppers similar to
leprosy has been discovered and that
experiments conducted in Mississippi,
Nebraska and Minnesota demonstrate
that 1t is possible to distribute the
germs in walls through the mail, with
instructions to farmers as to the meth
cd of using the contents so as to pro-
duce the best results.
The farmer becomes in short time
the manufactured of his own grass
hopper poison. The germs are placed
in a tumbler of water, a number of
healthy specimens of grasshoppefs Sc
lected, immersed, and afterward fed
upon greens that have been dipped in
the water. The disease rapidly devel-
ops, the grasshoppers are given their
liberty and are permitted to spread the
contagion. The scientists believe that
the method of determination will not
be only efficacious in freeing the farm
ers of the harmful grasshoppers, but
that the principle can be adopted with
equal success in driving out other in
sects.

THE PRESENT KING OF SARAWAK

THE PRESENT KING OF SARAWAK
| the hands of his uncle, Rajah Muda
Hassim, who gave Brooke a warm well
come, and at once enlisted his services
for the suppression of the rebellion
which had broken out in the state.
In gratitude for this assistance, and
in order to retain the services of an
ally whose value he was quick to rec
ognize, Muda Hassim handed over the
then small province-some 5000 miles
in extent-of Sarawak and its depend
enctes to Mr.. Brooke, one cogent rea-
son for this generosity being that he
was unable to control 1t himself.
OF this territory Mr.. Brooke was
formally proclaimed rajah on Sept. "a,
1841; but in the preceding two years
during which he had administered its
affairs, he had completely won the
hearts of all the better disposed ma
tives In spite of the fascinations a
throne exercises over most imagina-
tions, few kingdoms could have seemed
less desirable than Rajah Brooke's, for
the condition of the country was any
thing but peaceful.
There was practically no exchequer
and absolutely no revenue; his peace
full subjects were harassed to death,
and he never knew how much he could
depend on outside assistance to right
them. Yet his influence was daily on
the increase, for by marvellous in
tuition he at once understood the char
acter and the native point of view of
things.
Brooke succeeded in enlisting the
sympathies of the British naval author
tiles on the China station, and his
great friend, Capt. Henry Keppel. who.
with sword, pen and voice did more
for Borneo than any other man, the
Brookes excepted, was sent in COM
mand of the frigate Dido to aid him
In suppressing the pirates Of the Sare-
bus and Sakarran rivers, and more
particularly the formidable bands who
followed the flag Of the terrible Seriff
Sahib.
These pirates had never been con-
auered, and were regarded by Mr..
Brooke's people as invincible.Yet when
he told them he should go, but gave
them the opportunity to accompany
him or not, as they thought best, they
merely replied: What is the use Of
cur remaining? If you die. we die;
and If you live, we live. We will go
with you"

30 Beautiful That Mortals Mistook Her
for Venus.
Psche is an exquisite creation of the
later mythology Of Greece. She was
the youngest of the three daughters OF
a king, and so beautiful that mortals
mistook her for Venus herself, and
did not dare to love, but only to wor-
ship her This excited the jealousy OF
the goddess, who sent Cupid to inspire
Psyche with a passion for the most
contemplate Of all men. Cupid, how
ever, was smitten with her charms
aud carried her away to beautiful
palace, where he visited her every
night, unseen and unknown. He bade
her never let curiosity overcome her,
and one night while he was asleep she
took lamp and went to look at him.
She saw with rapture that he was the
most handsome of the gods, but in
her excitement she let drop of hot
oil fall on the sleeper's shoulder This
awoke Cupid, who upbraided her for
her mistrust, and vanished. Psyche
then set out to look for her lover and

seized by the goddess and kept as
slave. Cupid, however. reconciled her
to his mother, and was united to her
in immortal wedlock. In works of art
Psyche is represented as beautiful
maiden with the wings of butter
fly. Her story has been considered as
an allegory of the progress of the hui
man soul through earthly passion and
misfortune to pure celestial felicity,
but it must not be forgotten that it is
merely version of one of the most
widespread folk-tales in the world.

A SMALL REALM.
UNIQUE KINGDOM IN REMOTE
CORNER OF ASIA.
nomanuc and Adventurous Career of Its
FOUNDER, Rajah Brooke
Hocognicsd by Three Great Power,,
America, Italy, England.
Especial letter.

There ls a unique kingdom hidden
away in corner of Asia of which mos
people know nothing or at most the
pare outline. 1t was founded by an
Engllshman, and is ruled by an Eng
ilsh king as absolutely as all the Rus
sias are ruled by the czar, and yet
England has no right, even of super
vision, in its internal government, and
the warships of at least three great
powers salute its flag when they an
ehor within its territorial waters.
Its name is Sarawak, and it's present
king Is Sir Charles Johnson Brooke,
He succeeded the first king his uncle,
Sir James Brooke, whose life story
reads like romance.
The son of 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
at the age of 16. He was seriously
wounded in an engagement in the first
Burmese war, in which he commanded
body of volunteer native calvary, and
on returning from England-whither
he had been on suffered
shipwreck, and was thus delayed in
rejoining his regiment, to which he
had been recalled.
AS it afterward proved, this was a
lucky accident, for it ultimately led to
his resigning his commission and sew
ering 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
long-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 distracted country
by methods of his own, to stand as a
shield between oppressor and op-
pressed; and it was an ambition tc
which he remained consistent to his
last breath.
In the face of great difficulties a
yacht was procured and manned, and
in this Mr.. Brooke set sail for Brunei
in the year 1888. The sultan of Brunei
was little better than an imbecile, and
all state functions were practically in
