Charles Battell Loomis recently gave
a lecture in little church in Scotch
Plains, where he makes his home, re.
lates the New York Times. The sub
ject of his lecture was American HUI
NOR" After the author had quoted
from and criticised several so-called
American humorists and had eulogized
a few that pleased him well, he drew
to the close Of his lecture by reading
what he called several bits of really
exquisite humor." When the lecture
was over and the author was on his
way home, friend who had accom-
panied him, asked interestedly: by
the way, Loomis, who was the author
Of those last few bits you gave?'
well, I'll tell you," said the author
lowering his voice confidentially; 1--WE
received so many contrary criticisms
on my wit that l was anxious tc
know whether | really had any or not
l decided to put it to test. Those
last few bits, which sent our rurai
friends into spasms of Laughter, were
poor things. but mine own!'"

Using the Phone Has Become u Disease
with Many.
"The telephone habit, has become a
disease with a great many persons,
says the New Orleans Times-Democrat
"for 1t is curious fact that there are
many persons who are almost constant
ly rushing to telephone for one pur-
pose or another. l have a friend who
is fearfully afflicted in this way. es-
pecially when he is under the influence
of liquor If he gets few drinks
ahead Of the normal supply he imme-
diately begins to telephone. He be-
gins to call up his friends, and he will
talk and talk until one would think
his tongue and ear would tire But
he keeps 1t up, and there are many
other men who do exactly the same
thing under the same circumstances
The telephone habit, however. is not
confined to the men who occasionally
get under the influence of liquor. So
Der men frequently do the same thing
The women are by no means exempt
Take many of the younger women, and
they will find that they are passion
ately fond of calling their friends up
over the telephone and chatting with
them about the little nohings of the
girlish life. Now there is a serious
side to this business of using the tele-
phone to an excess. The telephone is
a great thing. Electricity is a
healthy article. But it cannot be sue
cessfully contended that talking over
the telephone is the perfectly natural
way of talking. There may be some
harm in it.
The ear is pressed too close against
the head, and the voice is greatly
strained beyond the natural pitch. On
the other hand, however distinct the
voice may be at the other end Of the
line, there is perfectly natural, but
probably unconscious dread on the
part of the listener that all that is
said will not be heard, and so the hear
ing is strained. So it might happen
that in the course of time the physical
appearance Of the human ear would
be changed If the practice is INDUCED
beyond the point Of reason. The ear
might be flattened out until 1t would be
as smooth as II 1t had been pressed
with fiatiron. 1t might be without
the little creases and curves which add
so much to the beauty Of its appear
ance. The human voice. too, may lose
something Of its mellowness, and the
hearing may be considerably deadened.
OF course, these are mere continge-
cies."

RAJAH OF SARAWAK
SIR CHARLES BROOKE C0NQUER0R
OF BORNEO.
After Generations of Fighting This
Englishman Has Succeeded In Sub
DUNG the Savage Traits of the Remote
Sections of the Island.
London Letter.


II the most picturesque lot Of VII
lains left in the uncivilized part Of the
globe are not done for at last, 1t isn't
the fault OF the most picturesque mon
arch in the monarch business.
That monarch is Rajah Brooke. the
Englishman who reigns supreme and
unquestioned over Sarawak, corner
of Borneo that Is about the size OF
the state of New York. The peculiar
quality of a section of his subjects that
has raised them in villainy above the
common heather is taste for house
hold decoration by means of dried hui
man heads.
Must Have Skulls.
They have no particular bloodthirsti-
ness. and do not set forth on head
hunting expedition primarily for ac-
QUESTION of territory, for worldly gain
or for vengeance or any other of the
ordinary objects of war, but merely
because no man of the tribe is consid-
cred a citizen of influence and stand
ing unless his home is adorned with
at least few heads. At times there
fore the yearning for the house beauti-
full comes upon them with irresistible
force On such occasions dash is made
from the mountain Businesses of Sara
wax down into the quieter regions In
which the rajah has managed to sup
press, to some extent, the head-hunt-
ing instinct. Such heads as can be OBJ
tanned are gathered-those of men,
women and children alike-and then
the collectors scramble back home In
triumph.
When the first Brooke, uncle of the
present rajah, stepped in and decided
to accept" the position of sovereign
Of Sarawak, the coast towns were so
lively with pirates that he had no time
to attend to the head hunters in the
Businesses. After series Of wonder
full adventures in cleaning out the
pirates, he tackled the natives inland,
and by the time the last chapter Of his
wonderful career was written and he
had to pass his kingdom on to his
nephew the lowlands Of Sarawak had
been fairly civilized.
The present rajah had lively time
Of it, however, in finally suppressing
the head-hunting tastes in some of
his outlying districts, and could make

warriors for fight, but 1t seemed to
them that discretion was the better
part Of valor. and they took to their
heels. After the town was occupied, re-
connoitering parties were sent out, and
1t was then that the old instinct of
the partly civilized Dyaks came back
to them too strong to be resisted. They
pursued the enemy into the jungles,
and after wild series of hand-to-hand
fights. drifted back to town with one
or more heads slung over their shout
ders. An attempt to deprive the victors
Of their prizes would have strained
discipline to the breaking point. so
they were permitted to celebrate In
their own fashion Each head was
placed in small, loosely woven bas-
ket and carefully smoked over the
camp fire. The officers were equally
pleased over the loot Of another sort.
for next to heads these strange saw
age folk prize rare earthenware jugs.
1t Is said that some of those found
in the village have market value OF
81 900 each.
The rajah's palace is a handsome
brick building in Kuching. and thence
he dispenses justice according to his
own sweet will, formulated in code
of laws of his own devising, responsible
only to council of state organized by
himself.

ABOUT ICEBOATs.
In Holland They Are Used for Business
Rather Than Pleasure.

In Holland They Are Used for Business
Rather Than Pleasure.
For hundreds of years past in Hol-
land boats have been sailed over the
Ice on the canals. The Dutchmen use
them for business rather than for
pleasure. One may often meet in
Holland little navies of sledges, loaded
with corn, -four or wood, sliding on
the ice, with sails set to the wind. For
ages, too, ice-boating has been COM
mon in Finland. Northern Europe un.
doubtedly is the home of the sport
Wealthy men of st: Petersburg sail
their ice-boats on the Baltic. On the
fiords Of Norway and on the great
lakes of Sweden one may frequently
see the sails of the boats, though lack
Of Wind and abundance of snow make
ice-boating there precarious pastime.
England has little chance for enjoying
the sport, though attempts have been
made to introduce it into the fen dis
trict. Scotland has more chance, and
occasionally an iceboat is heard of on
one of the frozen lochs. In Switzer-
land, at Davos and other places beloved
by skaters, ice-boating is keenly culti-
waited in winter. A serviceable modern
iceboat OF best quality costs about
$3.50. The average length of the best
all-around craft is about so feet and
they bear some 1000 square feet OF
canvas. They are very frail craft-as
one cannot help remembering when
travelling at top speed over rough ice
and weigh about 800 or 300 pounds.
Briefly, an iceboat consists Of TRAN
gular timber framework, with tall
mast rising from the front Of the
frame. She runs upon three steel run
ners, the after one set crosswises and
acting as rudder, all long and curved
fore and aft. The rudder skate is
turned by tiller and must naturally
be very sharp to obtain grip on the
ice. To steer an ice yacht is a matter
of nerve and practice. A calm DISPOSE
ton and quick eye are more neces-
sary than on a sea yacht, for the
slightest touch of the tiller will spin
the boat round. Unless the helm be
turned gradually the yachtsmen will
find themselves overheard. 1t is re-
markable that an iceboat sails faster
than the wind. She does not sail d.
rectly before the wind, like balloon
which consequently can never sail
faster than the wind, but she always
10 10 hn win
ton and gathers increased speed with
every thrust Of wind against her sails.
There is so little friction that, having
gained certain speed, a forward i'm
petus received from the wind does not
go to maintain that speed but to add to
it. Thus it comes about that ice yachts
actually overhaul the wind. so that
their canvases appear as If driving
into it's face.-Chicago News.

The Eyeless Congo.

French Congo is without French
woman, and there is gnashing OF
teeth in local official circles. 1t APP
pears that last year the colony was
frightened by the presence of thirteen
ladies', wives of French officials, but
these soon sickened, and the govern
ment, finding the cost Of transport too
much, informed its colonial servants
that they would not be allowed to take
out their wives at the national ex-
pense. Now a decree of December,
1897 states that inasmuch as wives
eight to follow their Husbands to the
colonies, their fares backward and for
ward would be betrayed by the colo
NAL office. Therefore the recent gov
eminent order is illegal, and to get
over the difficulty the colonial office
will be compelled to send out bachel-
ors to the colony.-London Express.

It has achieved a fitting climax whom
the 14th Of July arrived.
There at Cora Hama, In the same
waters where Perry's squadron had ar
rived, lay eight war vessels belonging
to the two governments now In such
friendly relations. There was no longer
any of the suspicious and cautious
character shown in their relations that
had been in the first place. Instead
were open rejoicing and friendliness
over a common cause. Torpedo boats
were there to help along the celebra'
ton. There was a booming Of guns
and flashing of day fireworks. The
splendid monument was unveiled amid
the rejoicing OF two happy nations.
Education Advancing Rapidly.
1t is delightful to me. now that the
journey is over, to look back upon
Japan and see the way that 1t has
grown since my first visit. In the cities
education is advancing and broadening
at rapid rate. In many ways the
country's civilization is not excelled
the world over. Its courtesy and hos
pitality are renowned. An American
woman can travel with more safety
than in Paris or London. This speaks
for itself.
Many things are still undeveloped.
All will come in time. If Commodore
Perry could look upon the result Of his
mission he surely would find it as graf
flying as he could desire.

Special Letter.

Rear Admiral Beardslee has recently
arrived home from Japan, where he
devoted much time to promoting the
erection Of the Perry monument at
Cora Hama AS he is the only survivor
of the expedition of the American
squadron that went to Japan In 1858,
under the command Of Commodore M.
G. Perry, he found 1t devolving upon
him to push public interest in Japan
along to the completion Of the me-
mortal.
He also made study of Japanese
conditions Of today as compared with
those Of half century ago. They
proved gratifying to one remember
ing the day when representatives Of
Americas navy first set foot, against
much opposition, on the land where
now a monument is raised in their
leaders honor.
Some Of his observations and con-
clusions are set forth in the following
letter, together with his account OF
the unwilling of that monument on the
14th Of last July. 1t was the work OF
months to get the Japanese interested
in the plan; that work meant the rails
ing of large sum of money. The way
in which it was accomplished is re-
lated here.
Letter of Admiral Beardslee.
The first thing that did after ar
viving in Japan waters was to hunt
up the exact place where the landing
was made. There it lay, the quiet Cora
Hama, smoothly curving shore
backed by hills and facing the blue
water. 1t recalled that day when,
peaceful welcome having been assured,
the Japanese scullers guided the Amer
lean officers into the harbor. Guns
doomed then as they doomed the other
day when the celebration was held in
honor of that early event. Captain Blu
chanan, in command of the early par
ty, was literally the first Of them to
put foot on shore.

called 1t all. Then I mingled among

Okong's Taste for Heads.

Okong's Taste for Heads.
Most of the Sarawakians are Dyaks,
described by some voyagers as a par
ticularly sullen and disagreeable lot Of
savages, but declared by their self-con-
stituted rajah to be traceable and
promising. At any rate they were new
err such bad lot as the Muruts, who
lived back in the mountains, and
against whom the present expedition
was sent. Their chief, Okong. was a
desperate, determined old rascal, who
for years had been making periodically
swift, terrible raids into the lower
countries, collecting heads by the hun
dred, paralyzing trade and keeping ma
tives in such state Of terror that they
were Of no use to themselves or to any
one else. Rajah Brooke's expedition
consisted of 300 well-trained Dyak
troops ,oficered by Malays,and with an
Englishman named Ricketts, as COM
mander. There were also a thousand
more or less raw troops levied among
the natives, and few odd Englishmen,
who went to see the fun and take a
hand in the fighting.
1t was twelve days march from the
base of operations, through jungles,
morasses and mountain passes into
country across whose borders few
white men had ever ventured. The
smaller villages passed on the way up
to Okong's den in the mountain top
were found deserted, the natives hav-
ing fled at first sight of the approach
ing army. Every house of quality was
duly decorated with strings Of the COW
eted human heads.
Taking of the Capital.
On the ninth day of marching the
village honored as the residence of
Okong's son was discovered, and the
troops, emboldened by progress unop-
posed hitherto, made for it on the run.
That was the undoing of MANY of
them, for the son of the willy Oxong
had skillfully concealed in the long
grass around the town fertilization of
sharpened stakes on which many Of
the Dyaks were impaled. The young
Murut chieftain tried to marshal his

Perry Forgotten at Cora Hama.
It seemed strange enough that
could not come upon old residents, and
plenty of them, who remembered Per-
ry. But in all the course Of my travel
ing in Japan found almost none upon
whom the commodore's landing seemed
to have made any impression. One old
man of 80 and his son Of 70 appeared
before the conclusion of my visit-men
who had seen Perry, remembered him
clearly and realized what he had done
for their nation. They are the two
whom you see standing beside the
monument. They are both, father and
son, fine specimens of Japanese old
manhood. Finely knit and erect Of car

Up to that time my talking had been

Hard to Raise Funds.
IN Even so, the raising of funds took
line months. The monument cost $685.

use. This is no small sum to them
and it was only by patient collecting
that the thing could be accomplished.
Finally the Japanese an American
governments assisted in Making the

had wrrked hard for success felt that
