RAISE MONUMENTS TO LIARS
.byaks Of Borneo Have a Singular Gus
tom That Is Hard to
Follow.

A correspondent Of the Straits Budget
Of the Straits settlement says:
while other nations should build
monuments to the memory of men who
have done great, and noble deeds, tho
Dyaks heap up a pile of the branches OF
trees in memory of the man who has ut
tered great lie, so that future genera
lions may know of his wickedness and
take warning from it.
1.-THE persons deceived start the tug
ong bula by heaping up largenumber
OF branches in some conspicuous spot
by the side of the main road" Every
passer-by contributes to it and at the
same time curses the man in memory of
whom it is.
'"'The Dyaks consider the adding to any
tugong bula they may pass a sacred duty,
the commission of which will meet with
supernatural punishment and so, how
ever pressed for time Dyak may be.
he stops to throw on the pile some
branches or twigs.
"This custom dates from very ancient
times 1t is interesting to notice that
though the ethics Of the Dyak, even at the
present day, do not agree in many points
with the moral code of other and more
advanced races, still from the earliest
ages the Dyaks seem to have agreed in
considering lie most disgraceful
crime, and liar man who deserves the
curses not only of his own generation, ooss
also of peoplpe yet unborn.
"A few small branches, a few dry twigs
and leaves-that is what the tugong bula
is at first. But day by day it increases in
size. Every passer-by adds something
to it, and in few years time it becomes
large and imposing monument raised
| to the memory of one who was liar.
1T has often been remarked by Dyaks
that any other punishment would, if a
man had his choice, be much preferred to
having tugong bula put up in his men,
| DRY. Other punishments are soon for
gotten, but tugong bula remains as a
testimony to a mans untruthfulness fol-
succeeding generations to witness, and
is standing disgrace to his children's
children. ~
believing, as the Dyaks do, in the ef-
| f1cacy of curses-a curse among them
being a Enable offense-it is easy to un-
derstand how Dyak would dread the &C.
emulation of curses which would neces
sarily accompany the formation Of tu
gong bu.a."

The notch in the end OF the brace and
the notch in a post come together. Now
take two strips Of thin, strong paper five
feet long and nine inches wide. Fold

SOME TRUE FISH STORIES.
Denizens Of the Deep There Are Who
Can Fly and Others Grow
Up Like q Plant.

In no division of the animal king
dom are found more curious creations
than among fishes. The flying hsh Is
so well known that almost every one
has seen either a dried specimen IN
museum or q flock of live ones SKIM
ming over the surface of the sun-lit
tropic waters which they inhabit. Yet
even to those most familiar with n.y.
ing fishes it is always interesting to
see these little creatures change
themselves into birds, as it were, and
go flying over the sea with great
swiftness, soaring frequently as high
as a ships deck.
Their broad and hlmy fms become
veritable wings as they rise from the
water, and remain so as long as they
are wet. But as soon as the fms be-
come dry they shrivel up and then
down falls Mr.. Flying-f1sh on deck or
back into the water. a,a .
These fish are very numerous In
West Indian waters and are excellent
to eat, the people of the island OF
Barbados especially priding them
selves on their skill in cooking them.
A great many thousand years ago
there used to be a fish which prob
ably had the power of flying as the
flying fish of to-day has. It has van
ished from among living things now.
but workmen, breaking their way
through ancient rocks sometimes
come upon the bodies of these fishes
turned into stone, and scientific men
have called the species by the hard
name of pterichthys, which is only
the Greek for winged fish. g.
These same scientific men say. that
these fish were so formed that they
never could have made their way
through the water by swimming, but
must either have flown over the sur
face or crawled about on the bottom
of the great Devonian sea. %
In this they were not so fortunate
as the flying fish of to-day, which can
swim as fast as they can fly and a.
easily. IT," 81 5''t -
Both the pterichthys and the mod
ern flying fish may fairly be called
"bird-f1shes." The St. Paul Globe says
there is another sort Of fish that might
be called the Flower fish," for the in
dividuals Of the species grow up from
the sea bottom as a plant would grow
and look like lilies on stem, where
fore they are called sea-lilies. But
they are real fish nevertheless, with
mouths and digestive organs and all
the other attributes Of animal lie,
though they look so like plants that
the unscientif1c person would be de-
ceived when he saw one.

FIDO, THE SHEEP DOG.
to the little dog, and said: What will
we do now, Fido?" and by the way of
an answer, he passed quickly in at the
door, and up one side of the shed, as
close to the wall as possible, until he
reached the far end of the shed. Then
the flock gave way for him. Fido
walked back and forth behind them
until near the door, an old eve with a
small lamb turned and with threaten
ing look, and stamping her feet, dis
puted Fido's right to follow them. But
when she had approached dangerously
near, the little dog gave short, sharp
little bark, and that took the courage
all out of the old eve and sent her
scampering off after the flock with the
little lamb following close at her heels.
Nothing unusual occurred during the
day. Edo did the running up and
down hills, and seemed to know all that
was needed before l would ask him.
When evening came, and the flock 60
ing toward home, I discovered lamb
over the brook, its mother trying to
but our best efforts failed, for although
the brook was very narrow and the
lamb could almost have stepped across,
time after time again it would run
down to the edge, and stopping short,
run back up the bank as though it en-
joyed it's mothers grief and my vexa~
ton. l was getting, as the boys say,
warm under the collar" Looking
around, saw Fido sitting alone to one
size watching our play. Here, I thought.
is my chance for revenge.
"Come here, Fido, and catch the little
beast; take leg right Off" said I. He
came quietly up to me, and then sprang
for the lamb, and throwing himself
upon it, caught it between his fore legs,
and with his nose over its back pressed
it to his breast, thus lying on the ground
holding il fast until reached him, and
taking it from him, threw it over ths
brook to its anxious mother.-Orsnge

THE sANITARIUM HABIT.
Acquired by Many Persons in Good
Health Who Imagine Them
selves Invalids.

Victims of the sanitarium habit, per-
sons whose health is at least fair, are to
be found in nearly every institution
maintained for the treatment of in
| valids. Such persons are for all practical
purposes we'll, but imagine ply steal ma
ladies to which they can lay no just claim,
| says the Chicago Chronicle.
Most of these persons at one time or
another had disorders which caused
them to take refuge in a sanitarium. Now
the modern sanitarium, appealing as
the great majority do to the patronage
of the wealthy, is fitted up with every de-
vice calculated to make life easy. The
servants are trained to anticipate the
patrons every wish; in fact the patron
Is expected to do something except
| amuse himself and in order to help him
do so there are usually provided billiard
tables, bowling alleys, shuttle boards,
cardrooms, tennis courts and golf links
And if he suffers from the slightest i'll,
there is always a doctor on hand to
soothe him and supply nostrums, the
necessity for which may be real or
fancied.
Having become accustomed to the
sheltered life of the sanitarium, with it's
daily round of coddling, the patron is
loath to leave when restored to his u ual
health, and if he is long on money and
short on will the chances are mat he
will postpone his departure again and
again, until at last he settles down with
the full intention of remaining in
definitely.
The probabilities are that in order
to set himself right with his conscience
he will endeavor to make himself be-
lieve that he is still physically unfit to
play an active part in life, and naturally
1t is not to the interest of the sanitar-
ium's proprietor to have him undeceived.
BY far the great majority Of the VIC
Tins of the sanitarium habit are women,
the feminine nature being especially sus-
ceptible to coddling. When a semi-in-
valid of the fair sex once gets used to re-
ceiving daily visit from a soft-spoken
physician who tenderly holds her hand
and lavishes upon her sympathy and ad-
vice it is difficult for her to 60 back to
a life where such an experience is not
always there to command at q moments
notice. r"
Women also are prone to acquire
morbid habit of harping on their real or
fancied ailments, and no place provides
such sympathetic listeners as sanitar.
