ORIGIN OF HEAD HUNTING.

Head hunting, the greatest passion
OF the Dyak, has its roots in his court
ship and IN his idea Of immortality
and filial affection A Dyak legend
tells that "the daughter Of their great
ancestor. who resides in heaven near
the evening star, refused TO marry
until her betrothed brought her gift
worthy her acceptance.
The man went into the Jungle and
killed deer which he presented to
her. but the fair lady turned away In
disdain. He went away and returned
with a mias (orangoutang), the great
monkey who haunts the forest. but
this present was not more TO her
taste
Then in a At Of despair the lover
went abroad and killed the first man
he met and throwing the victims
head at her feet, exclaimed at the
cruelty she had made him guilty OF.
but to his surprise she smiled, and
said that now he had discovered the
only gift worthy Of herself"
And to this day a Dyak girl will
often refuse TO marry a man who has
not taken at least one head. Still
more binding upon the Dyak is the
obligation to furnish a fresh head to
attend the spirit of any dead member
of his family.

Pearls on watches are common
places, but a watch In pearl is sure
ly novelty. One has Just been made
by a Paris matchmaker after 10
months Of work by his best me
chanics. The pearl weighed 45 grains
and was a perfect flattened sphere.
It's diameter was 14lA millimeters or
slightly more than half an inch. The
watch is liz millimeters, or 45-100ths
Of an inch. In diameter. and has a
compensating balance of 5-12ths OF an
inch caliber. It may seem strange,
but the maker says the most difficult
part of the work was boring the hole
in which the watch was to be insert
ed in the pearl. This watch mounted
in pearl cost $4,000.
