Thoro Itf n unl'iuo kingdom hidden
away In n corner of Asia of which most
pooplo know notliltiK or at roost tho
Imro outline. It wns founded by an
Englishman, nnd Is ruled by nu Hug

powers Hnlute Its flag when they an
chor within Us territorial wntora.
Its nnino In Sarawak, nnd Its present
king Is Sir Charles Johnson Urooko.
Ho succeeded tho first Icint;. his uncle,
Sir James llrooke, whose llfo story
reads lllto n romance.
Tho son of a civil toivant of tho
Honorable East India company, James
Brooko was born In I ml. a In 1803, ami,
after attending the Norwich grammar
school, received an ensign's comiuli
clou In tho Sixth Nntlvo Infantry of
tho Bengal uimy, and Joined his corps
nt tho ngo of 1G. Ho wns seriously
wounded In nu engagement In the fltst
Uurmcso war, In which ho commanded
a body of volunteer nntlvo calvary, nnd
on returning from England whither
ho had been on furlough Miftciod
chlpwreck, and was thus delayed In
rejoining his rcglmanl, to which he
bad boon recalled.
As It afterward prnvod, this was a
lucky accident, for It ultimately led to
his resigning his commission nnd Hov
ering his connection with tho East
India company. In tho voyage which
ho subsequently made to China ho flnt
saw thn Isles of tho Malay archipelago,
and koiuo Inner volco then whispered
that his destiny nw.iltcd him In those
long-neglected gardens of the Enst.
Tho possibilities of adventure nnd
discovery which Borneo held wore suf
ficient attraction for nn advonturous
man; but nbovo nnd beyond this rose
an ambition to oxtlrpnto piracy and
slavery, to reform a distracted country
by methods of his own, to stand ns n
shield between oppressor and op
pressed; nnd It wns nn ambition to
which he remained consistent to his
Inst breath.
In tho faco of .great difficulties a
yacht was procured und mnnneu, nna
In this Mr. Brooke set sail for Brunol
In tho year 1838. Tho sultan of Brunei
was little better than nn Imbecile, nnd

in 'gratitude for this assistance, nnd
In order to rotnln tho sorvlces of nn
any wtiosg valtto ho was quick to rec
ognize, Muda Hnsslm handed over the
then sronll province sumo 3,000 miles
in extent of Sarawak and Its depend
encies' to Mr. Brooke, ono rogeut rea
son for this genoroslty being that ho
was uuable to control It himself.
Of this territory Mr, Brooko was
formally proclaimed rajah on Sept. 24,
1841; but in tho preceding two years
during which he had administered its
affairs, ho had completely won tho
hearts of nil tho better disposed na
tives In splto of the fascinations' a
thro no exorcises over most Imagina
tions, few kingdoms could have seemed
loss deslrablo Uian Itajah Brooko's, for
tho condition of tho country was any
thing but peaceful.
Thero was practically no oxchoquor
ana absolutely no rovonuo; his penco
ful subjects woro harassed to death,
and ho novor know how. nuch ho could
depond on outside nsslstanco to right
them. Yet his intlucnca wns dally on
tho Incrcaso, for by a marvelous In
tuition ho at onco understood tho char
acter and" tho nath a point of view of
U ngs.
Brooko succeeded In enlisting the
eymp'at'lilea'dttho British HM) author
ities1 on, tho China station, and his
great flrlend',' Capl. Henry Keppcl, who,'
with sworid, ,pqn and yolco did tuorp
for Borneo than any other roan, tho
Brocwcs excepted, was sent lu com
mand of, tlje frigate Dldp to aid him
in Bupprqssljig tho pirates of tho Saro-.
bus nnd 'Sakarran rivers, and more
particularly the fornridablo bonds who
followed the flag of tho terrible Serlff
Sahib.
Theso pjratcs had nover boon con
quered, and wero rogarded by Mr.
Brooke's people as Invincible, Yet when
ho told them ho should go, but gavo
thom the ' opportunity to accompany
him or not, ns thoy thought best, they
morely repUcti: "What la the uso of
our remaining? If you dlo. wo dlo;
and if you Uvo, wo live. Wo will go
with you."
So expeditions consisting of tho D1-
do's boats manned by bluejackets, nnd
native craft conveying a largo foro
of Dyaks, under the command of
Captain ICcppol and Mr. Brooke, pro
ceeded 70 or 80 miles up tho great riv
ers nnd their tributaries, nnd attacked
tho strongholds of Sorobus and 8a
karrnn, r.o that for tho first tlmo In
nntlvo experience these pirates wero
bearded In their dens.
Tho fighting was of tho most Inter
esting description, nnd was attended
by qitlto n respectable number of cas'i
nltles on tho winning side.
Urooke's boat fighting man, Patlngl
AH; Mr. Seward, one of his white
staff; LlcuUnaut Wailn of tho Dido,
and ninny another bravo Englishman
and Dyak met their deaths In theso
battles, but In attaining their object
tho expeditions wero ontlrcly success
ful. Tho once dreaded ch'ef, Sortff
Sahib, was drlvon across the moun
tains single and unattended, beyond
tho reach of doing further harm.
In 1817 Ilnjah Sir James Urooko
visited England nnd mot with nn en
thusiastic reception from those who
could understand and appreciate his
work. Ho was bidden to Windsor,
where tho queen not only mado him a
knight of tho Hath, but conferral on
him tho appointments of governor of
Lnbuan nnd con&ul general of Borneo.
Two years beforo his death, In July,
18G8, tho Independence of Sarawak
was recognized by America, Italy and
England, und tho great man died with
the knowledge that It had cntorod on
tho path of prosperity, with Increasing
population, trndo and revenue.
Sir Charlcii Urooko, his successor,
was born In 1829, nnd having spent 10
years In thn royal navy, served undor
hla undo for 20 years In Sarawak. Ho
mnrrled the Ilnneo, Margaret, only
daughter of Mr, do Wlndt of Bluns
don Abbery, Wiltshire, England, In
1809, who is now queen of Sarawak.
By concessions nnd purchases' of ter
ritory, Including coal mines, harbors
and splendid rivors away to tho north
chiefly from tho declining sultanate
of Brunei, Sarawak has Increased to
13 times Its original area. It now
comprises 50,000 mllca five times tho
H'ze of Belgium with 400 mllos of
const line, nnd hns a population of 300,
000. Notwithstanding, tho cost of Its
efficient administration is less than
that of any Asiatic country presided
over by Europeans. ' Its exppndituro
Is ubout $500,000 annually.
PSYCHE, OF GREECE.
80 lleautirul Hint Mortal Mistook Her
for Veil un.
Pscho Is an uxqulslto creation of tho
later mythology of Oreeco. She was
tho youngest of the three daughters of
n king, and so beautiful that mortals
mistook hor for Venus herself, nnd
did not dnro to lovo, but only to wor
ship her. This excited tho jenlqusy of
the goddess, who sent Cupid to Inspire
Psycho with a passion for the most
coutcmptiblo of nil men. Cupid, how
ever, was smitten with her charms,
and carried her away to a beautiful
palace, whero ho visited her cvory
night, unseen and unknown. "Ho bado
hor novor let curiosity overcome hor,
and ono night while ho wus asleop she
took a lamp and wont to look nt him.
Sho saw with rapturo that ho was tho
most haudsomo of tho gods, but In
her oxcltcmcnt sho lot a drop of hot
oil fall on tho sleeper's shoulder. This
nwoko Cupid, who upbraided hor for
her mlBtrust, nnd vanished. Psyche
then set out to look tor hor lover, and
coming to tho palaco of Venus sho wa3
seized by tho goddess and kept ns a
slave. Cupid, howovor, reconciled her
to his mother, and wnH united to hor
In Immortal wedlock. In works of art
Psyche Is represented as n beautiful
maiden with tho wings of a butter
tly. Her story has bocn considered as
nn allegory of tho progress of tho hu
man soul through earthly passion und
misfortune to pure celestial follclty,
but It must not be forgotten that It Is
merely a version of ono of the most
widespread folk-talcs In tho world.
Keep thn Hand Clean.
To keep the hands nice, cleanliness
Is the first essential, and, therefore,
when rough work has to be done It is
well, If possible, to put on gloves. Pre
vention Is bettor thun cure, nnd ns
nothing spoils tho hands like getting
them grimed it should be avoided as
fnr as posslblo. When this occurs,
howovor, don't go to work upon them
with soap and n brush. Instead, tnke
some vaselluo or oil and rub It Into
tho hands and then wash them thor
oughly with a good toilet soap and n
plcco of flannol in warm wator. Tho
flannel will soon clean them and with
out Injuring tho skin In any way. It
Is far hotter than a nail brush for ordi
nary use and If used regularly a nail
brush will bo found almost, If not en
tirely, superfluous.
Deluding Young Plllplnoi.
In the maps of Europe which were
used in the Filipino schools undor tho
Spanish regime a largo placo in tho
coutcr of the continent, usually occu
pying more than one-half the page,
was marked Spain; all the rest of tho
countries were scattered about tho
odgo. Thus the young Filipino came
to have a very distorted idea of the
magnitude of tho country of his op
pressors, Even Agulnaldo was sur
prised to learn that America covers a
greater area than Spain.

for their nests substantial boxes of

In Central America Is found a very
peculiar insect which apparently for
the purpose of disguising itself resorts
to a troo or other convenient shelter
and thero proceeds to excrete a white
waxy substance In great quantities, so
enveloping Itself In the material as to
bo rendorcd hardly rccognlzablo as an
Insect nt all. Tho wax Is of excellent
quality, and the native Indians gath
er it, boll it and utilize It in vurious
ways.
Among the many insect curiosities
thero is none more strange nnd even
weird than certain species which coun
terfeit leaves and twigs for thn sake of
concealment from their enemies. The
so-called "walking-sticks" are so like
twigs lu appearance that the expert
entomologist has tho greatest diffi
culty In securing specimens, even
when he goes hunting for them In
places where they exist In lmmenso
numbers. They Invnrlably rcsomblo

eighteen inches in length. On certain

species, two or three inches long nnd

there is no way in whtch they may

In troplcul countries are found a

Lltrtl In Fear of thn Cuming of the
Judgment Uny.
"There wns no church In our neigh
borhood, nnd It was only at r.iro Intel -vnls
thnt n preacher came from Rome
near settlement or from the vIIUiko
and preached nt the Bchoolhouse,"
writes "A Secluded Girl," !n the Octo
ber Ladles' Homo Journal. "The llrst
sermon thnt I have any distinct re
membrance of hearing made n deep
Imnresslon upon me. The mlnlbtor
was a man of such melancholy cast of
countenance, of such sombro aspect
nnd gloomy uppearance, that I shrunk
from him Instinctively us If nu Icy
wind hnd gone out from him und en
tered my soul. For months afterward
I was haunted by his presence und
the terror his words had Inspired,
Inwnidty fearful ut the samo tlmo lest
God should punish me for such u wick
ed aversion for one of His ministers. I
was particularly depressed by tho
preacher's desci iptlon of tho Judgment
Day, which, ho averred, might come
unon us nt nny time early In tho
morning perhaps, following some
night on which the stars hnd fallen.
Tho perpetual dread of this awful ca
lamity wus unotber source of mental
anguish to me that drove sleep from
my ayes during the silent hours or
manv : nifht. At such tlmo I' often
stole from my hod to see f the stars
were still In the sky, und when I saw
thom shining In the heavens a sense of
thankfulness came over me, and I re
turned to my bed nnd surrendered my
solf to slumber. During this period of
fear of the coming of the Judgment
Day there was but one night of thn
week In which I rested securely, and
this wns Saturday night, for I reasoned
that as God had rested on the Sabbath
day He would not choose that day on

CHINA'S ARMIES.
Probably the Htrangeat Mllltiry Oonnoll

Writing f i om Tientsin, a correspond
ent to the St. Iittls Globe-Democrnt
gives a description of the various
armies constituting the International
forco In China and concludes with this
Interesting -pen picture of tho strange
scene: The men of nil these nrms and
countries havo marched, fought, camp
ed foraged and frolicked togcthor, and
each succeeding scene has seemed
stranger than the first. And if it has
nil been strange to the eye there has
also been an appeal to the car. From
road or field come a Jolly, rollicking
song of German Fatherland, and its
echo may bo a Cossack war chant, an
American coon melody or a coster love
song. Bugle, bagpipe, drum, life and
band send out their sound together,
and somehow there Is a strange har
mony in it. Thero Is something nlmost
mysterious in tho fraternizing of sol
diers. Possibly the rifle levels distinc
tion, and is a badge of, membership.
You can see an American who does not
speak a word of Japanese holding a
long conference wjtb. a soldier of the
Mikado Vho' knows no" English, or a
Russian delivering an eloquent ad
dress to a group of Sikhs and tho
strange part of It is that they all un
derstand. There soems to bo a special
bond of friendship between Americans,
British and Japanese, but the Ameri
can is generally a good mixer and cur
ries bis sociability nnd amiability
everywhere. The Russians, French
nnd Germans havo shown great friend
ship for ono another, and In thU camp,
far away from the political capitals of
the world, there Is much talk of such

pathetic, sentimental form.

MUSIC FOR ANIMALS.
Harmony houthe thu Unite, DWcoril
Knrage Tlivni.
A bti'.dcnt of animal habits made
some oxpt-riintutf recently with music
nt the London Zoo. Hero Is his ac
count of the effect on n tiger: Tho
violin player approached a sleeping
tiger, which was lying on its side, with
feet stretched, touching the cage bars.
He played so toftly that the opon'ng
notes were scarcely audlblle. As the
sound rose, the tiger woke, and, rais
ing its head without moving its body,
looked for some time with fixed ntten
tlon at tho player. It remained for
some time In it very fine nttitude, lis
tening to the music, and then, making
the curious bound that, in tiger lan
guage does duty for "purring," it lay
down tiguln nnd dozed. Tho soft mu
sic w.ih played on, while the great
beast lay ns If lulled 'to sleep. The
violin wns then put asldo for tho pic
colo. Judge of our surprise when, nt
the first notes of tho new instrument,
tho tlgor sprang to Ub feet and rushed
up and down the cage, shaking its
head and lashing Its tall from Hide to
side. As the notes became louder and
more piercing, the tiger bounded
ncross the cage, reared on Its hind
feet nnd exhibited tho most ludicrous
contrast to the calm dignity and repose
with which It hnd listened to tho vio
lin. Then t-amn the final and most
successful experiment. The piccolo
was stopped and a very soft air played
upon tho flute. Tho difference In effect
wus seen at once. The tiger ceased to
"rampage. ' and the leaps bubslded to
a gentle walk, until the animal came
to tho bars, and, standing still and
quiet once more, listened with pleasure
to tho music. "Thero are many men,"
the student remarks', on Humming up
hi experiment In music nt tho Zoo,
"there are perahps many rnces ot men,
who could not detect a discord, and
would nllko be Indifferent to harmony
and its opposite. Yet among tho brutes
on which the experiments were tried
tho sudden start of dlbpleusuro at a
discord was general from the snakes
to tho African elephant."
