CHOLERA DEc1mArED ARMY.
History Of Rajah Brooke's War IL
SaraWak.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
Sarawak. that most picturesque eastern
state. has lately suffered from a great ca
lamity. Since 1871 Sarawak, which is on
the western end Of Borneo, has been ruled
by an English family. In that year Sir
James Brooke was formally made rajah of
the nation. which later had Its 'independ-
ence recognized by England. His son, Sir
Charles Brooke, Is now rajah, and It was
one Of his armies which in June met foe
deadlier than the fiercest Of the Dyak tribes
of head hunters. In early June an expedi-
tionary force Of II. 900 men. under the COM
mand of the heir-apparent. Mr.. Vynef
Brooke. left Kuching. the capital of Sara
wax for the interior to punish tribe Of
head hunters which for years had been
guilty Of all the atrocities peculiar to that
people. The expedition started in S15 war
boats. from 40 to 90 feet long. and for three
noiselessly and secretly. On the afternoon
Of June IL rumors were afioat that mys-
terious sickness had broken out In some OF
the boats. In camp that evening 1t was
clear that cholera had come in its most
malignant form. That night thirty men
died The disease made rapid inroads on
the force, and the panic caused by the chol-
era was increased by the fierce attacks OF
the enemy it had come to punish. two hum
dred boats having been destroyed by them.
1t was decided. therefore. to abandon the
boats and march home overland In the
meantime men were dying like flies. and be-
cause the troops refused to leave their dead
in the hostile country it was necessary to
carry the corpses back to Sarawak BY
the time the. expedition finally reached nome
there were more than a thousand of these,
and the retreat, which had begun in an or
derby manner. ended in a panic-stricken
rout. The total number Of deaths from
cholera amounted to considerably more
than one-twelfth OF the entire army, ana
the other losses were very neaVy.

Lady Curzon, too has one distinction

CURIOUS LAWS.
Where Marriage is Crime and Kiss
ing Equally Illegal
From Tit-Bits.


Last year an officer in a royal regiment
was arrested for attempting to get married.
in spite Of the fact that he and the BRIDE
elect were eligible for the married state.
AS It happened, however, his relatives were
opposed to the match. and had recourse to
a regulation which, although still in vogue,
is seldom exercised, and which gives the
sovereign and war Office power to interfere
in the matrimonial affairs of any officer in
a royal regiment 1t Is, therefore. a crime
for an officer thus placed to enter the bonds
Of matrimony against the wishes Of the
powers that be, and one punishable with
dismissal from the army and six months
Imprisonment; but whether the individual
in question was faithful to his vows or not
the writer Is unaware.
A few months ago young EngliShman
was sentenced to a fortnights imprison-
ment for kissing HIS fiance in the streets
of Odessa. 1t is strictly Illegal for lovers to
osculate In public in south Russia, and 1t
was only after considerable trouble on the
part of the British consul that the too
amorous youth was liberated at the eXpira-
ton of three days captivity and even then
his sentence was commuted to a fine.
If you are given to political speaking 1T
would be well to be careful where you
hold your meetings, for there is one spot
where such OrationS are considered treason,
however loyal you may be at heart. This
is within the mile radius of Westminster
any one urging a government petition in
the area named can be arrested and thrown

of the house might be biased in their legis-
lation thereby.

OF the continued low ruling OF prices, while
the quantity exported also showed a con-
siderable decline
with regard to sugar. the report states
that beet sugar has made very rapid prog

quantity Of cane sugar imported was more
than double that of beet, but during last
year the imports Of beet greatly surpassed
those Of cane sugar. While the latter de-
clined from all sources Of supply except
Java. the former increased greatly. the in
crease from Austria-Hungary being excep-
tonally large-so large as to induce sugar
refiners in India to persuade themselves
that the countervailing duties did not cover
the whole bounty received by beet sugar.

BIRDS OF PASSAGE.
Most Of Them Are Constant Travellers
Except in Breeding Season.

From the New York Independent
A bird of passage is a bird-generally In
fiock-on the way north or south. This
passage really covers most of the spring
and summer. There is hardly a week from
March to November when fiocks of birds
are not moving from station to station.
Robins go south from northern parts as
early as August THAT Is, they start from
their nesting grounds-but they move very
deliberately across the country. Orioles
close up housekeeping early In August. and
they spend a month in fitting about the
country, in a happy go-lucky sort of a way.
Interesting as birds are during their brief
nesting seasons, they are more interesting
during their travels. Their sojourn any
where is very brief The nearest to COM
plete domestication Is found in the case of
the catbird. When treated well and famil-
iarly he comes north about the list of May,
and does not leave us till some time in Oc-
tober. He is not all this while nesting or
singing, but he is in the bushes ready for
pleasant chat with you. if you have proved
yourself a companionabe friend Robins
are very irregular about coming going,
and some of them sure to be left behind
all winter. Most of the birds are gregari-
Gus when travelling; probably for the sake
of safety. A flock Of very peaceful birds
is compelled to add the additional protec-
ton of travelling by night. By day they
generally are resting or feeding in some
pleasant locality. In the spring they al
ways are heard first in the early morning:
in the autumn their goodbye Is heard at

parent suggested that he should pray for
one before retiring that night and per-

afternoon, as he was closing his office, the
father remembering the conversation. de-
cided to buy one. When he reached the
shop, however, he concluded that the little
fellow was too young to ride a bicycle, and
purchased a tricycle. instead. The present
was placed in the woodshed after bedtime,
and early in the morning the boy asked If
the bicycle had been sent in answer to his
petition. His father told him he had better
