MONUMENTS OF SHAME.
Monnds Erected to Men who Were
Liars While ON Earth.

While other nations build monuments
TO the memory OF men who have done
great and noble deeds, the Dyaks bean
up pile of the branches of trees In
memory Of the man who has uttered
great lie. so that future generations
may know OF his wickedness and take
warning from ii.
The persons deceived start the tu.
gong buia 10y heaping up large num-
Der of branches in some conspicuous
spot by the side OF the main road. Ey-
cry passerby contributes to it and at
the same time curses the man I'm mem
DRY of whom IL Is.
The Dyaks consider the adding to
any tugong bula they may pass sa-
cred duty, the omission of which will
meet with supernatural punishment
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 ancient
times. 1t is interesting to notice that
though the ethics of the Dyaks, even at
the present dayf do not agree In many
points with the moral code of other
and more advanced races, still from
tho earliest ages the pyaks seem to
have agreed I'm considering lie most
disgraceful crime and a liar man
who deserves the curses not only OF his
own generation. but also of people yet
unborn.
\ few small branches, few dry
twigs and leaves-that is what the tu-
gong bula is at first. But day by day
II increases In size. Every passerby
adds something TO 1t, and I'm q few
years time It becomes large and Inn
posing monument raised to the mem
DRY OF one who was liar.
1t has often been remarked by Dyaks
that any other punishment would, II a
man had his choice, be much preferred
to having tugong bnla put up In his
memory. Other punishments are soon
forgotten, but tugong bula remains
ms testimony to u mans untruthful-
ness for succeeding generations to wit
ness and is u standing disgrace to his
children's children.
Believing, as the Dyaks do, I'm the
efficacy Of curses-a curse among them
being n fineable offense-it Is easy to
understand how Dyak would dread
the accumulation of curses which
would necessarily accompany the for
nation of n tugong bula.-Straits Set

OFFICIAL LETTERS.
The Way They Are Secretly 0peneS
by ALI Governments.

bS All governments.
Although all the governments deny
IL, there Is not u government under
which a cabinet noir does not exist
and has not existed since letters were
written. At Washington. as at Ber-
LIN and London, no correspondence OF
importance escapes this administrative
1nquisition. In spite of all denials,
every government maintains n dark
chamber in which letters are opened
and read before being sent OH 10 their
destinations. In the turmoil prelimi-
nary to the Spanish-American war a
secretary of the Spanish legation at
Washington discovered this TO his
cost. Without the cabinet noir the
secret police could hardly exist
Through 1t the chiefs are enabled to
spy upon their agents, who are re-
cruited in all ranks OF society and
paid in proportion to their standing
and services. Ii is. however, in poll
tics and diplomacy that the cabinet
noir works most actively. Often IL Is
OF supreme importance for nation to
know the Instructions sent to this am
bassador or that and the contents of
his dispatches. or course these COM
munications are in cipher, but for the
cabinet noir there are no cryptograph-
&c mysteries. Even cipher can be read
Documents Of very great Importance
are sent by diplomatic couriers and
kings messengers" but this is ex-
ceptional. In the papers which have
thus been stolen, read, copied and pre-
served i'm the secret archives OF the
various states lies the real history that
will some day be written, Runau-
Varilla's letters, tiled away In the
cabinets poirs OF Paris and Washing
ton, will some day shed hooking
light on the recent occurrences at
Panama, and many another historic
event will take ON an unexpected
color,
Never, perhaps. did the cabinet noir
work more diligently than few years
ago, when all the great powers inter.
vened In the affairs Of Crete. Many and
divers interests were at stake. Eng
land, France and Italy. though ostensI-
bly, working together to redeem Crete
from Ottoman misrule. were suspi-

usual was In doubt and ignorance. Ger
many was for the sultan, and so while
the ships Of all nations lay OFF the Gre
tan shore the real battle was fought
by tnnumerable agents and spies I'm the
dark underworld of politics. Insurgents
were brlbed first on one side and then
on the other. Spies were outplayed by
subtler spies, ally betrayed by ally.
That out OF this coll freedom came to
Crete was due to the doggedness OF
one man, that stout French sailorman,
Admiral Potticr-to him and an eff
cient cabinet noir. Against him were

According TO DIR. Wolf Won Schier
brand, writing in the Delineator, tho
curious and appalling discrepancy be
tween the lot OF the grande dame IN
Russia and that OF the women OF the

not SO much OF greater wealth as OF q
complete reversal OF standards. Tn,
Russian aristocracy is cosmopolitan
and It's women are. like the women oi
the powerful advancing nations OF
western Europe, an independent force
leading in society and domestic life
but the women OF the bulk Of the ma
ton are still oriental and more the
slaves than the helpmates OF their hus

Is miserable In Its degradation and
