HAPPY NATIVES OF SARAWAK
Under Wise Government, People Live
Easy Lives in Their Glorious'y
Fertile Country.

The tribe Of Kayans, inhabting the
head waters ~ the Euram and Rejang
rivers OF SaraWak. have lived for I'M
known generations almost isolated in
the interior Of the island of Borneo.
There are many reasons for believing
them 10 be originally Of Caucasian
origin Many Of them have very light
skin. and they probably reached Bor-
neo by way Of the Malay peninsula
from lower Burma. Rigid discipline
is characteristic OF the domestic me
mage, resulting in good manners and
recognition of authority.
For good many years Saravak
was under the independent govern
ment of white rajah. Sir Charles
Brooke, who controlled his mingled
subjects with unusual wisdom and
sympathy. Among other far-SiIhtcd
edicts he instituted stringent game
laws. so that the island is one OF the
best protected parts of the world in
this respect. Birds. beasts and butter
flies are protected. not more than two
specimens Of any one species being
allowed to the collector. In this WAY
the very beautiful and rare trees ana
insects of the country are being main
tanned for the enjoyment Of failure
generations.
Another wise move of the raiah
was to continue the native costume
what there is of it-in place of intro
ducing the unsuitable. ugly and arti-
fetal modern clothing of Europeans.
This, as Stevenson points out. has
usually exactly the opposite effect
from that intended by welI-meaning
missionaries, and the happy natives Of
Sarawak are very well off as they are.
