ORIENTAL SIDE LIGHTS.

Quaint and Interesting Stories of the
Malays.
A species of wasp trequenting the
barracks used by the American soldiers
in the Philippines has caused several
accide1 is. So hard set is this insect to
preserve its larvae, of which certain
birds and insects are inordinately fond,
that It seeks all manner OF strange
places TO hide the dead grubs or insects
in which it deposits it's eggs. 1t has
frequel thy been known to fill the
muZzle of krag rife with clay, in
which it incloses the dead grub. The
ball OF clay, hardening, invariably
causes Az explosion if the gun be fired
before The obstruction is withdrawn.
The natives of the settlements along
the Malay Strait keep as pets the tiny
fish ToXotes jaculator, which feeds on
flies and other insects obtained by firing
drops CT water from its elongated
mouth, generally hitting its prey.
A curious Malayan legend says that
in oden times the waters surrounding
Singapore were SO infested with sword
fish as to make it impossible for the
fishermen to pursue their daily task.
A boy advised the Rajah to let down
into the water freshly peeled stems OF
the banana plant, and, this being done,
the fish imbedded their swords in the
stems and were easily killed. The boy
genius was considered danger to the
throne and he was executed lest he
grow up and become conspirator
The sap of a creeping plant (Dalber-
gial is used by the Malays to stupefy
fish. A few bucketfuls thrown into
the water will bring to the surface
every fish within radius of 100 yards.
The use of this poison does not appear
to injure the food value of the fish.
The turkey is regarded by the Malay
Mahomedans as an unclean bird, owing
to the tuft on the breast of the fowl,
which they say resembles the brstles
of hog.
The Malay tribes possess but little in
the way of literature, the greater part,
like that of Java, consisting OF romances
known under the SanScrt name OF
"cheritra." or the Arabic one of 'hlka-
vat" Their subjects are taken from
the Hindoo epics, from the local legends
of Java, from the Mahomedan tales
from Arabia and from the stories OF
Malay princess, hardly less fabu Gus:
Such compositions differ from those OF
the Javanese in that the greater num-
Der of them are in prose. The Maiays
are possessed of no ancient manuscripts
or inscriptions on stone or brass 1he1f
whole literature. all in the Arabic char
acter, is certainly not of greater antlq-
uity than their conversion to the Ma
homedan religion, the earliest recorded.
specimen of it being the vocabulary OF
the Italian, Pigafetta, collected in the
MoluccaS in 1921.
To rid themselves of an enemy, the
residents of Oriental countries frequent,
ly mix with the food of the person OF
whom they would be rid the tiny, black
specks found under the sheath leaves
at the joints of the bamboo. These
specks, seen under a microscope, are
veritable barbed arrows, and once taken
internally resist the action OF the gas
trio juices and set up an intestinal in
flammation that invariably causes
| death.

He Made a Mistake.

A well-known druggist says: CATER
childbirth in his family a trained nurse in
sisted upon having Comfort Powder. He
thought It a fad, and when she left decided
to try some other kind ON baby. But they
were soon glad to go back to Comfort Pow
der as it made such difference in baby
comfort The best physicians and trained
nurses insist upon Comfort Powder for the
toilet and nursery.

Literary News and Notes.

Holman F. Days latest magazine

IN which the rival supporters of the
local band and fire company strive
strenuously for an appropriation The
scene is laid in Freedom.
In the Lee 4 Shepard list of Septem-
Der books for 1905, is ''Cordelia's Path

Publicity Bureau of which George V
). MlchaellS, formerly of the kennebec
Journal, is the head. Mr.. Fassett is
one of the brightest men who ever did
newspaper work in Maine, and his
many friends here look for him to take
place III the front rank if he follows
up the short story business.

added to the list of books by Maine au-
thors. 1t will be the Rival Campers

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

The Paris Petit Journal yesterday
morning prints an interterview had
by its correspondent at st. Malo with
one of the survivors Of the wreck OF
the channel steamer Hilda, who gave
the following graphic description;
"When the Hilda struck on the reef !
was on deck with the five others who
we're brought here. Seeing the signals
made by the captain, ] was asking my
self what was going to happen and
thought that my end was near, when
suddenly my ears became confused as
though there were peals Of thunder and
| felt that the steamer was no longer
moving. Around me | could hear yellS
and imprecations and amidst this hub

boats are loose My God, it is too
late = d,
"The vessel then shook and compelled
me TO leave nv footing. was thrown
on to the rigging and my HANDS instinc-
lively took hold Of The ropes. held
on firmly and climbed up. All was

standing the storm. NJ 'sses of human
beings we're grasping the same rigging
and when the sea ceased 10 roar | could
hear groauing, which gradually ceased,
and then followed the hollow noise OF a
body falling in the water, another We
tin of the cold This was how | spent
the night in the rigging"
Grinter, the survivor, said to another
correspondent
"There is no truth in the report that
the Hilda's boilers burst. There was
terrific shock as the steamer struck the
rocks, and this made a noise resembling
an explosion. ! am an engiDe-room
mechanic, and as such | am positive
that tue boilers are intact.
"The Hilda was pinned on huge
rock, and the waves, sweeping herceiy
over her, carried away the women and
children.
"With 80 others persons, by actual
count, | climbed up into the rigging and
| managed to hold on until rescued. The
Others gradually f'll of before The fear

six of us remained when we were sighted
by the steamer Ada, which rescued us

and exposure.
"The report that the Hilda struck on
Sunday morning also ia wrong. She
went on the rocks at 10 O'Clock on
Saturday night while going dead slow
and trying to make the entrance OF st.
MalO harbor."

The Fleet Virginia.

The new baltleship Virginia, built by
the Newport News Sbipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company, in her screw stand
ardizing tests yesterday, made one dash
over the measured mile of Owls Head,
Maine, at the speed of 1874 knots an
hour. a new American mile record for
sbips of her class and 81 of knot
faster than that made By the Rhode
Island three weeks ago.
The spurt was made on the third OF
The eleven runs during which it was as
cer,ained that 1898 revolutions of her
screw are necessary for the Virginia to
maintain her contract speed of nineteen
knots an hour. The Rode Island re-
ouired 1875. 9 revolutions to maintain the
same speed.
The trial Yesterday was made under
favorable conditions, there being a
fairly strong of-shore breeze, which
made the course comparatively smooth.
The battleship left the harbor shortly
before 9 o'clock yesterday morning, and
after warming up ran up the bay, ca re
back and headed for the mile, with her
smokestacks belching great clouds OF
smoke and the water tumbling IN huge
caiaracis over her bows.
The average for five best runs over the
course was 1870 knots an hour. The
machinery worked perfectly, and there
was very little vibration at high speed.
The starbeard engine averaged l29 ~
revolutions and the port l29.2 22 revolu'
tions while the vessel was making nine
teen knots.
The crew will be given a rest today
and tomorrow the Virginia will star
down the coast on her folr-hour en-
durance run, during which she mus
show a speed Of nineteen knots an hour
