One serious defect in home dress
making, especially in tailor gowns, is
found in the fitting Of the coats, suff-
cient width not being allowed across
the shoulders in the attempt to secure
a good fit. The width Of the back is
enough across the shoulders, and if
curved in at the sides just at the waist
line it will be far more becoming than
if narrow above.

Monument to a Lie

A correspondent of the Straits

says:
while other nations build monu-

generations may know of his wicked.

tugong bula by heaping up a large
number of branches in some conspicu
Gus spot by the side of the main road
Every passerby contributes to 1t 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 omission OF which
will meet with supernatural punish
ment. and so, however pressed for
time a Dyak may be, he stops to
throw on the pile some branches or
twigs.
This custom dates from very an.
Client times. It is interesting to no
tice that though the ethics OF the
Dyaks, even at the present day, do
not agree in many points with the

A magnificent elm tree on the Wal.

OF Lexington. dates from 1882. and
was planted by the father of Jonathan
Harrington. who was a small drummer
boy in the revolutionary war. The
boys father was a farmer and sold
his produce in Salem. On returning
home from market one day the horse
was weary and tagging in his gait: so

plucked small sapling elm from the

When he got home the sapling was

Immensely Valuable Tracts Still
Standing in That Country.
The depletion of forests In the
United States is the cause for the re.
cent attention which has been given
to timber lands in Mexico. This
country has vast tracts OF valuable
timber which only await the advent
of the railroads to make them of
enormous commercial value. In the
southern part of the republic the hard
woods, such as mahogany, ebony and
cedar. have long been exploited and
the supply is growing very limited
within the access of transportation
facilities. Large forests of such tim
Der still exist. however, in the more
remote sections. In the central and
northern parts of the republic there
are large tracts of soft pine, oak and
miscellaneous varieties, especially on
the western slope of the central
mountain range. where there are as
yet almost no transportation facili-
ties, and along a wide strip of land
extending westward from the gulf

vanced races, still from the earliest
ages the Dyaks seem to have agreed
In considering a lie most disgrace
ful crime, and a liar a man who de.
serves the curses not only of his own
generation, but also of people yet I'M
born.
"A Few small branches a few dry
twigs and leaves--that is what the
tugong bula is at first. But day by
day 1t increases in size. Every passer-
by adds something to IT, and in few
years time II becomes a large and
imposing monument raised to the
memory of one who was liar.
ut has often been remarked by
Dyaks that any other punishment
would, IL man had his choice, be
much preferred to having tugong
bula put up In his memory. Other pun
ishments are soon forgotten. but a
tugong remains as a testimony to a
mans untruthfulness for succeeding
generations to witness and is q
standing disgrace to his children's
children.
Believing. as the Dyaks do, in the
eff cacy of curses-a curse among
them being a Enable offense-it is
easy to understand how a Dyak would
dread the accumulation of curses
which would necessarily accompany
the formation of a tugong bula."
