QUEER GARB
OF BORNE5O

TiAN you imagine . beautiful
" woman with q set Of coal.
black, sharply pointed teeth? q
course, You can't, but such IL the
ideal of beauty among the Land
Dyas, a tribe Of people inhabiting
the Island of Borneo. the princi-
pal island Of the Malay Archi-
pelago.
There are two entirely differ
emit tribes Of the Dyas, the Sea
Dyas and the Land Dyas, and it
is in those Of the sea that we are
chiefly interested. They are
stout, well-built people, with .
great deal Of poise, an imposing
graceful carriage and . resOlute
air. The men are extremely at
tractive, but. to US, the woman
would be considered nothing
short Of ugly although, Of course,
they are lovely In the eyes Of
their tribesmen. Their skin is
dark, yellowish brown, their hair
is very coarse and oily, but It is
their teeth that are particularly
ugly, for they are filed to . very
sharp point and are stained coal
black.
The young women are very
vain and they love finery. At
home they wear q short petticoat,
but when they are out they add a
jacket. They are never without
their heavy ornamental jewelry.
Earrings, finger and ankle rings,
necklaces and bracelets weigh
them down, but, strangest Of all.
10 the curious corset that they af-
feet. Sometimes this consists sim
ply Of a series Of cane hoops
strung with brass rings, but more
often they are made Of heavy
brass. Some OF the hoops are
larger than the rest, so as to
hang loosely on the hips, and
the upper ones are pinned to-
gether with coarse brass wire.
The corset extends from just
below the armpit almost to the
knee and 10 rarely removed. To
quote from an article which de-
scribes the operations: 1.-THE girl
1 saw had to hang by her hands
to bar of wood while a friend
slipped her brass cuirass inch by
inch upward over her head"
Another incident will give you
an idea Of how heavy these
brass corsets really are. A young
girl was conveyed by boat to her
wedding when the boat capsized.
The weight Of her corset pulled
her under and she was drowned
before help was able to reach
her.
The men, however, are well set
up handsome fellows, and, al
though they don't pay so much
attention to their dress as the
women, are far more handsome.
Their equipment consists merely
Of q breech.cloth, a head-dress
and mat to sit upon. For full
dress, though, they wear q jacket
and shawl.
Strange to say, since the young
Dyas are 50 meticulous AZ TO
dress the old people are very
shabby and go about dressed in
filthy, ugly rags.

CIVILIZATION DECAYING

There has been no civilization,
since the day when China sent her
envoy across the Himalayas to In
quire into Buddhism, down to this
one, that has amounted to any
thing or has endured. unless men
were inQuirers first and last.
The first sign Of decay is an un.
Willingness to learn and belief
that what is is the apex of attain
ment. The second sign Is Devil
derment of things and q belief that
comfort Is the end-all OF existence.
But the last sign is the easiest to
read: 1t is acceptance Of the shell
In which the spirit hides itself and
bitterness against whoever dares
to try to penetrate that shell into
the wonderland within. Schools.
PHILOSOPHERS. religions. creeds. SCI
ences. arts, nations and civiltza-
tions-all have gone down by that
route. When a man or nation
takes the attitude that what I
think / know il good enough for
me-" then 1t is time to sound the.
requiem and look for who shall
next appear on the horizon. From

WE like to think that we gre

spects undoubtedly we have the
right to say we are. However, II
we read the morning paper 1t is
evident that crime is on the in.
crease, insanity not nearly on the
wane, and there is no peace in the
offing. Civilization does include
reduction Of the crime statistics,
raising of the standards of art and
knowledge, and increasing salts
faction with the Government in
consequence Of the integrity and
zeal of its officials. It is evident
that we have much to learn.
The surest sign of an awakening

was no renaissance, OF which we
have q record, when the men who
