Rus,er sage and wan street,

Just how sensitive Wall street is
was manifested on q recent morning
when it became known that Russell
Sage was unable to come downtown.
This is so unusual that an uneasy
feeling at once manifested itself and
could not be quieted until it was GER
tainly known that the octogenarian
multi-millionaire was merely suffering
from a slight cold. Mr.. Sage has only
.absented himself thus on one or two
occasions since Norcross tried to blow
him to pieces with a dynamite bomb

She is chastened," answered her
friend. she finds that she is not half
so smart as she thought she was, and
The position she expected to take is
not SC easy to acquire, consequently
her manners to the world at large are
much more acceptable. A little disap-
pointment is a great sweetener to the
disposition. Mrs. e., who used to be
so naughty, has become as cordial as
possible, since her husband lost half
his fortune In Wall street, and Miss
s., who used to snub all men who
came near her, is becoming quite
agreeable, now that she finds that they
avoid her. This Is so often the case
that when l see radical change In
the manners Of person l always find
that he or she has been chastened."

Tho Drought's Aftermath.

sad reminder of the destitution
wrought by last years drought in GER
tain portions of Missouri was afforded
in the arraignment before the federal
commissioner at Jefferson City the
other day of dozen or more citizens
of Camden county on the charge Of
cutting and selling timber on govern
ment lands. The men did not deny
that they had committed the act
charged, and they were held in the
sum of 5000 each on their own recog-
nizance to await the action of the
grand jury. One of them explained
that the timber was cut last summer
and fall, after the failure of the crops
had left them absolutely destitute and
starvation was staring them in the
face. They had raised nothing and
they had no means of support, so they
cut some timber and made ties and
sold them. If the government wanted
to punish them for that offense, he
said, they would not complain.

the number of pilgrims has greatly in.
creased, but their generosity in gifts is
much on the decline. This is probably
due to the fact that the world OF Islam
has been feeling very poor for years
past.
In the early ages of Mohammedan.
ism it was considered obligatory for
every one of the faithful to visit the
sacred city at least once in his life
time. The pilgrims have never been SO
numerous in the later history of Mo-
hammedanism. In the early days the
Kalifs were building towns in the
desert as stopping places for the pill
grims and did a great deal to facili.
tate the journey and make it comfort
able. The fact that this solicitude for
the well-being of the deyout has not
been manifest for a long time may
account in part for the falling off in
the number Of pilgrims. The m embers

The dreadful custom among the
Dyak natives of Borneo of hunting for
the heads of fellow-creatures has un-
happily not yet been quite stamped
out.
There is, unfortunately, strong rea-
son to believe in a story current among
the Sea Dyal5s dwelling along the
banks of the Batang Eupar river, in
Sarawak (the district of Borneo ruled
over by Rajah Brooke) that the town
of Lobo Antu, near the source of this
stream, and hardly twenty miles dis
tant from the frontier lines of Dutch
Borneo, has been invaded and raided
by a force of Land Dyak tribes from
that country and about twenty or thir-
ty of the peaceful Inhabitants ruthless
ly murdered
What lends color to the grewsome
story, says the New York Press, is
the fact that, although preparations
are being hurriedly made in Kuching,
the capital of Sarawak for a strong
eXpeditionary force to be sent into the
interior, great secrecy as to it's pur.
pose and destination is maintained by
the official authorities.
The custom of headhunting is as
old as the hills among the Dyaks, and
is similar to the scalp hunting of the
Indians. The belief among the Dyaks
is that every head captured in one of

A subtle and horrible method Of talk
Ing life has been placed within the
means of INSCRIPTIONS men of science.
Modern study of bacteriology has
placed a new and terribly effective
weapon in the hands of humanity. It
is a weapon with which entire com
munities and towns may be stripped
of their inhabitants. Wholesale deaths
may be brought about without even
directing suspicion toward the pcrpe-
traitor Of the crime, and, what is more.
the man who seeks to deal out death
in this way may select the specific
disease he wishes to employ in carry
ing out his purpose. All of these men
acing possibilities have developed
through the advanced study of bactc-
ria and the various uses, beneficial
and otherwise. to which micro-organ-
isms may be put The fact has been
established beyond all question of
doubt that most contagious diseases
are spread through microbes. and add
ed to this knowledge is the additional
information that each disease has it's
own specific kind of bacteria. which
may be cultured and produced in
countless numbers.
AS an indication of the extremes to
which a man may go in making use OF
his knowledge of microbes, the case Of
an Austrian medical student is given.

Of bacteriolcgy. He was familiar with
the various forms OF microbes common
to different contagious and infectious
diseases, ard knew how to use them
with deadly effect. Recently the young
man ATTEMPTED TO cXtort money from a
rich widow by threatening To scatter
disease germs in her room il she re-
fused his demand. The woman at first
was inclined to laugh at his threat.
but finally he became so insistent and
maintained such q meuaCiug attitude
that she reported the matter to the
police and the medical student was ar
rested. When taken into custody There
were found in his possession test tubes
containing n sufficient number Of bac.

residents of the town II properly cir.
Culated. The tubes contained cultures
of cholera, typhoid fever, and locl,iaw
microbes, and showed Couclusively
that the young student was prepared
to carry out his threat.
This, it is believed, is the first in.
stance on record when a crime Of this
character has been brought to the at
tention Of the authorities. but it by no
means represents the possibilities of
such a misapplcation of scientific dis.
Coveries. The possibilities along this
line are as matter OF fact almost
limitless.

these inhuman raids, after it has un-
dergone a process Of cleansing and Tit-
ual at the hands Of the medicine men,
becomes a martial spirit for the in
dividual and tribe to whom it has
unluckily fallen a victim. Great jeal.
ousy exists among the tribes with re-
gard to the numbers each can muster
for war, and if any tribe is in this re-
spect inferior it at once sallies forth
to remedy the defect in this grewsome
manner.
Individual head hunting exists, also,
the heads gained by these individual
sportsmen becoming for the most part
votive offerings at the shrines Of Love.
1t is no uncommon thing for a young
Dyak lady to refuse to entertain pro-
posals from her lovers till a certain
number of these horrible trophies can
be laid at her feet.
In spite of the most stringent police
regulations this fearful custom still
exists, but it speaks well for the adj
ministrative powers of Rajah c. Brooke
that in Sarawak itself head-hunting
seldom occurs, and if it does, as in
the case of the last dreadful incident,
the delinquents come usually from the
dominions outside his jurisdiction.
