ing and which were to be the limits OF
our underground wanderlngs! A
faint glinlmer OF light could be Seel,
through a rift in the rocks far above
Us. and it was through this small r'!t.
which was scaled passage even to
the Dyaks themselves. that the birds
passed in their Journeys TO and IRON,
their nesting grounds. OHr arrival.
OF course. disturbed whatever birds
were there, and they disappeared as
best tley could. And there, for a
time. we watched the Dyaks going
through their gymnastics OF robbing
the birds nests. with their ropes and
long poles creeping along the high
ridges and ledges in the lurid light OF
the torches like unearthly specters.
These peculiar nests are built by d
species of swallow. The nests con-
sist of shallow, cup. shaped cavities,
truncated at one side, where they are
attached to the rocks like brackets to
wall. and forming something like q
two-thirds segment of a circle. 1t is
not always easy to get at them, as
they are sometimes glued to the per-
pendicular sides of the solid rocks
high overhead. so that the nest hum
tiers have to scale these crags with
ropes and poles to get at them. In
substance they consist of an elastic,
semitransparent, mucilaginous ma
teral, which is said to be a secretion,
or macerated food. from the crops of
the birds themselves.
''As robbing these nests for COM
lnercial purposes forms a part of the
Dvaks' means of livelihood. the birds
have frequently to build twice or even
three times during the season before
they are able to hatch their offspring
and it is noted that each successive
crop of nests deteriorates in both
construction and composition. The
nests built at the beginning of the
season are bright and transparent and
are consequently known on the mar
ket as white nests but when they
are robbed the next crop is not nearly
so pure in substance"

There was no barbershop in the place

told me that there was man in the
village who occasionally shaved peo-
pie, and | determined to risk a cut or
two and send wod rim. The amateur
barber arrived and after little hest

Will you please, sir, lie down fiat
on your back while l shave you. SIR
"Thinking that it was probably the
custom of the country. | stretched out
comfortably on my back and nearly
went to sleep while the fellow shaved
me, so light was his touch. When he
had finished / said:
" I am curious to know why you
asked me to lie down to be shaved"
Because. sir was his ingenious
reply, I never before shaved live

Il may add that I sent for no more

EDIBLE BIRDS NESTS.
The Way They Are Gathered by the
.. Dyaks In Borneo.

: Edible birds nests are found in the
clefts of rocks or in underground
caves which are frequently of great
extent. John MacGregor in writing
Of a bird nesting experience he had in
Borneo says: "Off we went with
about dozen Dyaks,, as the little
bronze aborigines of this part OF Bor-
neo are called, for guides. The en-
trance to the cave was so small and so
elevated that I had some little diff
Guilty in reaching it. After we had
travelled for some distance we came
across the inevitable stream. The
ground. which was to a great extent
composed of the bed of the stream,
was rough and irregular. We were
lighted on our way by torches carried
by Our Dyak guides. At last we came
to a passage that seemed veritable
eye of needle, so hard it was to en-
ter, for it looked so narrow and con-
fined that I despaired Of ever getting
through it. When I fairly got
squeezed into the breach | could
force myself neither upward nor
downward-for that was the direc-
ton Of the passage-and there was,
suspended like Mohammed's coffin or
trussed fowl. By dint OF wriggling,
however. ! at last found myself on the
top of the passage, minus certain
amount Of skin and some buttons
from ny tight fitting khaki coat.
Still on we logged for the best part

Read what one who is recognized au-
thority on the subject, has to say: "Of
late the magazines and daily papers
have had much to say by way Of crltl-
cism of certain Life Insurance Compa-
nies, and especially with regard to'the
Legal Organization of such Companies
and of the manner Of their control.
These CRITICISMS do not apply to
The Pacific Mutual, but DEMON
STRATE the Truth of the Assertion
that "for POLICY-HOLDERS The
Pacific Mutual has the BEST Legal
organization. 1t is not controlled by
ONE or Two men, having no pecuniiary
interest or responsibility save as policy
holders, or recipients Of salary; But it
is controlled by BOARD Of fifteen
Directors, not mere dummies, but Stock
holders in their own right, holding a
large amount of the Company's stock,
and Policyholners as well. The Direc-
tors of the Company are men of high
Financial and Commercial standing, and
are by LAW made RESPONSIBLE for
the acts of the Officers Of the CORPO-
RATION.
''The Company has capital stock OF
$500, 900 Fully paid up in GOLD coin,
but while this Capital and the Stock
holders responsibility afford to Policy
holders the GREATEST possible Secur-
ity, it Costs participating Policyholders
NOTHING, but every dollar paid into
the Company by them and the ACCU-
MUTATION thereon, is applied to
their BENEFIT. There is no Other
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY trans
acting business in America whose Pol
by Legal enactment, are so
Safe-guarded as are the Policyholders
