QUAINT BATAVIA.
Java's Picturesque Town and tn
Pennle One Meets There

Java's Picturesque Town and the
People One Meets There.
Imagine town of giant dolls houses
built in Burmese and Japanese style,
trim avenues of beautiful trees, broad,
clean streets and thousands of grown,
up dolls masquerading in oriental fan
cy dress. the picture book of one'sl
childhood animated-that is Batavia.
The streets are paraded listlessly by
gangs of blue garbed convicts, who
pick up cigar ends. bits of paper and
fruit peel. The cleanliness of the streets
is astonishing.
A man in Batavia once threw piece
of banana peel on the ground, and,
looking back a moment aftePward, he
felt reproached by the sight of that
wretched piece of peel, the only blot
on the immaculate cleanness of the
streets. For awhile his dignity fought
with his sense of decency Then he re-
turned. picked up the offending peel,
and-feeling very foolish-carried it
until he saw convenient opportunity
for disposing of it

1t is impossible for n casual observ-
er to distinguish the sex of Cingalee,
as the men have delicate, refined fea-
lures, are clean shaven, fasten their
long hair behind their heads in woman
fashion and wear Skirts that sweep the
ground.
The dress Of the Javanese women
merits a detaiIed description, as the
Batavian Dutch ladies have adopted
the native dress for morning wear.
A long "trip of native cloth, called
sarong, is wound round and round the
body beneath the armpits and reaches
aimost,to the ankles. An abbreviated
Elton jacket, called kopeia, covers the
shoulders, and out of doors ladies' slip
pers are worn on stockingIess feet, and
paper parasol is carried

but do appreciate good table manners.
we'll dressed man sat opposite me
at the restaurant table and engaged in
the feeding process He looked as
though he thought he was a gentle
man. Well, having finished, he drew
out of his waistcoat pocket a quill
toothpiek. Many and many a month
no doubt that same tool had done duty.
He proceeded to use it in the most
glaring manner, clicking with his
tongue meanwhile, sitting there
dumb, suffering victim After he had
concluded the above delicate and pleas
ing operation, then-heaven save us!-l
he deliberately wiped the demonish
toothpiek upon the restaurant napkin,
rubbing and polishing it carefully Do,
you wonder that felt queasy?
Next meal was dinner at another
great public feeding ground. Kate took
her modest place this time at table
where only women sat Surely now,
she thought, among females of my
own SEX shall not be made queasy.
Near her was well dressed young
lady who plainly thought herself some
body, for she criticised to her friend
with whitening scorn an old lady who
asked for a dish" of strawberries In
stead of using the up to date word
plate" Then my young lady who
thought herself somebody calmly pick
ed up from her own plate with her
fingers food which well bred persons
always handle with a fork and ate 1t
thus, actually licking her fingers after
ward as a dog licks his paws. But
''worse remains behind" A jar of
chopped pickle was upon the table. The
girl who thought she was somebody
shoveled out a spoonful of that pickle
into the palm of her hand AID in the
sight of gods and men deliberately
picked it up between the thumb and
forehnger of the other hand and thus
conveyed it, monkey-like, to her mouth,
again licking her fingers afterward.
At this stage Kate left.
She entered trolley car. 1t was
crowded, and a fat young woman
squeezed in beside her. 1t was a siz-
zling hot day and the fat young woman
had been shopping many hours. That
she was stout had not helped her
appearance. Her hair was tousled. her
hairpins were half tumbing out. Her
face would have been a pretty one on
a we'll groomed tidy woman. Now 1t
was covered with dust and perspira-
ton, naturally, and the young woman's
hands were still worse
The stout young woman put up her
hands and arranged that hair, sticking
the pins In. Then she picked her teeth
with pin awhile. Then she unrolled
an orange from paper, throwing the
paper Upon tse floor Next, with her
fingers that were not clean and her
nails that were black, before all the
folk, that fat girl gouged and clawed
the peel off that orange. then tore the

CRAFT OF MODERN RACING.

Jockeys of To-day We're No Shrewder
than Those of Ancient Egypt.
The truth of the old saying that
there is nothing new under the sun
has been once more demonstrated by
the discovery of model boat at least
1000 years old, which resembles in
many respects the racing craft of the
present day. This model boat was
discovered in an Egyptian tomb. AL
though the boat is only a toy, it af-
fords proof of the fact that the rae
ing boats of 1000 years ago were GER
tainly modelled on the lines of our lat
est racing yachts. The model is OBJ
viously that of a pleasure boat, for the
hull has been so cut down for the
sake of speed that it would be quite
useless as cargo or passenger boat.
The most modern rowing boats made
have not such a deep keel as that
from which the model was copied.
There has been good deal of dis
cussion at one time or another as to
whether England or America invented
the .'tin keel' for racing boats. There
is no question now that the honor be-
longs to neither country, ssince both
have mconsciously copied the idea
from Egypt Until a few years ago
boat builders had never constructed
a boat with line of PROV equal to
that seen on the little model just I'M
earthed. Racing yachts of twenty
years ago had no such lines.
In some respects, at least, we have
improved on the boats Of 1000 years
ago. The stern of the model is not
so good as would be the stern of a
model of modern racing yacht. Con-
siderable Improvements have also been
made in steering gear However, to
all intents and purposes the boats
used by river enthusiasts on the Nile
1000 years ago were very much like
the modern racers of to-day from the
point of view of appearance. In the
matter of speed the modern boat
would be their SUPERIOR
Penny.

Japanese ladies afflicted with the
green-eyed monster use charm some
what similar to those practieed in Eng
land and Scotland by the witches of a
few centuries since. The aggrieved
damsel rises at 1.-The hour of the Bull'
about A. m.-dresses herself in
white, with flowing hair places tri-
pod bearing three lighted candles on
her head a mirror round her neck and
a lighted torch of bamboo and pine
roots in her mouth, and takes the effigy
of the faithless one to some shrine,
where she nails it to n tree in the
grounds. The unlucky original suffers
untold pains in the spot where the nail
is driven. but should the charler meet
the ghost of an enormous bull and
show her terror the spell will fail.
Charms for the smallpox are also used,
and they consider a piece of paper
with the impression of u black hand
or similar scrap of red, with three
of the characters for horse, as an infal-
lible safeguard.

SKIPS A TRIP
CHANGE MADE IN
MOVEMENT OF AMERICAN-HA-
wAIIAN BOATS THIS MONTH.

Freight Agent Morse of the Ameri-
can Hawaiian S IS. line has received
advices regarding a change in the
schedule of that company's steamships.
Owing to the long trip that tn S. s.
Minnetonka made from New York to
San Francisco, she will not be sent to
Puget Sound ports and Honolulu but
will sail direct from San Francisco to
New York on her homeward trip.
In her stead however, the S. S. Ne
braskan will sail from San Francisco
for Seattle and Tacoma July 8. She
will take the accumulated Honolulu
freight and sail for Honolulu from
Puget Sound July 10 arriving here July
25 She will sail from Honolulu for
San Francisco according to schedule,
August l.
The next American Hawaiian vessel
direct from San Francisco will there
fore, be the Nevadan sailing July 81.
The change in the schedule will require
the Nebraskan skipping her departure
from San Francisco for Honolulu on
July IA. Honolulu freight can be ship
ped from San Francisco on the Ne
braskan via the Sound.
