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 t.lder

that it will counteract the rolling and
pitching motion of the boat in any di-
rection. The method of suspension of
the chair will certainly maintain the
seat in horizontal position and if this
does not have the desired effect in ex-
tremely rough weather, or If the pas
senger desires to sit on deck, suitable
screens are arranged to prevent the
occupant from suffering the optical eff
feet of motion at sea. 1t will be no
ticed that two rings are placedtabove
the chair and by pivoting these rings
at right angles to each other they will
tilt it in such a manner as to hold the
chair motionless in the toughest sea.

Keep 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, if 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
is far better than a nail brush for ordi-
nary use and If used regularly a nail
brush will be found almost, il not en-
tirely superfluous.

PSYCHE. oF GREECE.
So Beautiful 1hat SIortals 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 passion for the most
contemplate of all men. Cupid, how
ever was smitten with her charms.
and carried her away to a beautiful
palace, where he visited her every
night, unseen and unknown. He babe
her never let curiosity overcome her,
and one night while he was asleep she
took a 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 a 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
coming to the palace of Venus she was
seized by the goddess and kept as a
slave. Cupid, however, reconciled her
to his mother, and was united to her
in immortal wedlOck. In works of art
Psyche is represented as a beautiful
maiden with the wings of a 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.

One Of the most remarkable char

srn Pennsylvania is Bill Pritts, who
was convicted Of moonshining in the
United States district court at Pitts
burg last week. He has long been a
resident of Bayette county and was
notorious far and wide as one OF the
most daring men IN his line of bust
ness
His two sols, John s. and Henry
Pritts, were also included in the in
formation, but they did not appear.
The case excited great attention on
account CT the numerous efforts to
capture Pritts in his mountain home
and his numerous successful escapes
from the revenue officers He was
finally captured at his home last May.
Against the Pritts family the follow

The Eraporatlnn OF Gold

Sir W. c. Roberts-Austen has proved
through an experiment extended over
four years that when a column of lead
is allowed to rest upon a column of
gold a slow diffusion or evaporation of
the gold takes place, resulting in the
appearance of traces Of gold in the
lead. When degree of heat not suf-
ficient to melt either of the metals is
applied, the diffusion of the gold takes
place more rapidly. The tendency Oh
the particles is upward into the lead
As far as is yet known the evaporation
of gold occurs only in the presence of
another metal.

chor within its territorial waters.
It's name is Sarawak and its present
King is Sir Charles johnson Brooke.
ne succeeded the first king, his uncle,
Sir James Brooke, whose life story
reads like romance.
The son OF a civil servant of t@e
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 whittier
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
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 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
