Borneo.

B0rneo.
Borneo is known to the average
American chiefly as the place where
the wild men come from. The Borneo
wild man of story and legend in reality
is g. member of the tribe of Dyaks.
who won their reputation for savagery
by the practice OF head hunting. The
Dyak formerly conmemorated every
important event of his life by securing
"a few skulls. The young man about
to be married always tried to present
his bride with the skulls of u few of
his enemies, and a well chosen era
mum or two was also considered Il
suitable present for the newly born
Dyah infant. II the victim could first
be captured and tortured for a time,
the value of his skull was greatly en-
hanced.
The practice of head-hunting at one
time threatened the very existence of
the Dyak tribes, but since the English
have occupied the island the practice
has been largely suppressed. The low
land Dyaks have become haif-civilized,
any many of them have been enlisted in
the native constabulary. while even the
wild inland tribes now trade with the
white men in forest products. \ large
part of the interior of Borneo, how
ever. is Stlll uHexplOTeQ WllueTieSs,
where the Dyaks live as they did be-
fore the island was discovered by
white men, and where tremendous re-
sources remain entirely undeveloped.
Borneo is fairly split by the equator
and contains some of the most valuable
equatorial forests in the world. Ebony
and lignumvitae are the most valuable
of these woods The latter is both the
ha rdeSt and the most valuable wood IN
the world. 1t is sold by the pound and
is used for bushings and bearings in
machinery. where 1t practically takes
the place of metal. The extensive wild
cocoanut groves of Borneo also fur
nsh large quaint of copra, or dry
cocoanut. while sago and rice are the
chief cultivated crops.
Great Britain owes her domination of
Borneo to Sir James Brooke, who put
down an nsurrection on the island in
1910 and was made raja OF the state OF
Sarawak His descendants are still
known by this title and still rule the
province.
The principal city of modern British
North Borneo is Sandakan, which has
an English speaking population Of
about fifty and n native population OF
some twenty or thirty thousand, in
cludine Chinese, Japanese. SingaieSe. /
Malays and semi-civilized Dyaks. This
city has an excellent sheltered harbor
and is the principal shipping point for
the commerce of North Borneo. and is
also the headquarters for the coolic
and opium smuggling industry between
China and the Philippine Islands.
Labaun, a tiny island on the north
west coast, also contains a small town
and Is of great value because of it's ex-
tensive coal deposits

THE THINKER AS WEALTH
MAKER,
copyright 1919, l.y Dr. Frank Crane,

IL is a favori;e theorem among de-
baters on economic questions that all
wealth is produced from the three
sources-Iand. Labor aud capital
But there is a fourth element over
looked. The greatest of all wealth
producers is mind.
1t might be classed under labor but
it is not exactly labor; it is not work:
il is the power to see, to invent. to CO.
ordinate. a man can sit on his Shout
der blades and smoke a cigar. and. if
his think works operate sufficiently,
add more wealth TO the country than
10000 handworkers.
1t is not the amount of land Il man
has, il is the amount of gumption that
determines his productivity.

Economy.
From London Answers.


1t is very queer. a young chap will
pay no heed to economy in any form.
while the elderly gentleman will take
elaborate care with every single half
penny, knowing full well that he will
never reap the benefit. This was the
case with old Tweezer. When he was
entertaining some guests one evening
the supply of wine ran out, and he
therefore made an excursion to the
cellars beneath. For the sake Of econ
omy he took no light. but trusted to
his familiarity with the place
In due course he arrived safely up
stairs with five glasses Of wine.
TT must be quite q work of art to
fill those glasses SO accurately in the
dark said one, who was aware of the
old chaps habit OF not using a light,
for the sake Of economy.
BLESS yer heart and soul, no., replied
Tweezer. as he grudgtngly distributed
the fve glasses. "'Tain't no work Of
art, You see, when I feel the wine

The millinery trade is increased by
the modern tendency to rush the sea-
son. Formerly, winter hat was worn
until spring was at least in sight, hut
this year straw hats made their az
pearance in January. They were real
~ as tncongruous when worn with
heavy furs as were the heavy velvet,
plush and felt hats which came out
last August and were worn on hot
days in combination with thin summer
dresses. Every year the tendency to
crowd the season in millinery is more
in evidence, and 1t is brave woman
who will be conservative enough to
wear her winter hat until Easter week,
as was considered good form only Ave
years ago.
The constant change in The styles. the
form of trimmings and the materials
used, require the

salers and large importers conduct
regular millinery colleges. to which
their customers from all parts of the
country come each season for a few
weeks instruction. While the appar-
euI cHdHSeS from one season TO an
other are slight, they are most i'm
portant to the world of fashions. 1t is
attention to minute details that marks
the difference between the production
of a trained artist and the amateur
milliner.
This year a tendency toward narrow
ribbons and simple love knots would
seem to render bow-making easy, but
the smaller the bow the more difficult
to secure the effect. The milliner from
remote town who comes to New York
to buy her stock can spend several
hours each day in taking lessons in
making bows. applying fac oss. Innings
and other trimmings for a couple of
weeks each season. Most of the larger
firms give these instructions free TO
their customers. although their work
rooms are really schools In which hun
dreds of girls are continuously receiv-
ing training which fits them to take
positions as head miiliners in smaller
shops or department stores. They make
model hats during their training which
the firms sell at wholesale prices, max
Ing it profitable for them to give the
instruction free.

Not since the days of our grandmoth-

bonnets upon the Easter market as this
spring. yet the supply of sane and serv-
ceable headgear, too, is seemingly end
less in variety. Never before have the
hats of a season given SO wide scope
for Individual taste as at present. In
size they range from the cart wheel to
the peanut as a young thing described
them last week, and in material you may
have anything from the finest imported
braid to cheap Turkish toweling. A wonl-

market. But to most people they sug-
gest a copy of former European models,
rather than a distinct national style
a woman who made the rounds Of the
New York shops this spring informed
her friends that while American de-
signs have been greatly improved and
are creditable to the milliners who
have originated them, they are yet a
little below the European standards,
SO that if the war should close this
year we should return to France for
our models. II the waTaontinues sew
eral seasons, it is quite possible that
New York may supplant Paris and
Vienna in setting the millinery styles
of the world.
One of the noticeable features OF the
millinery of this season is the small
number of ostrich feathers to be seen.
This Is not due to any failure of the
supply, as has been claimed, but to
lack of demand for them. The craze
for the willow plume several seasons
ago. in the opinion of the importer,
reached such a height that the aver
age woman became tired of ostrich
trimming. Those who manipulate the
trade in London, which is the great
ostrich feather market Of the world.
are too shrewd to lower the price of
the ostrich plumes notably The
dealers who have paid a good price
for their stock are not going to sacri-
fee 1t. They know that In another
season or two ostrich plumes will be
brought into fresh favor and sold at
as high prices as ever.
