Tho ileal Malay.

The real Malay is a short, thickset, well Imiltman, with straight black hair, a dark brown complexion, thick noso and lips, and bright, intelligent, eyes. His disposition is generally kindly, his manners polite and easy. Never cringing, he is reserved with strangers and suspicious, though he does not show it. Hois courageous and trustworthy iu the discharge of an undertaking, but ho is extravagant, fond of borrowing money, and very slow in repaying it. He is a good talker, speaks iu parables, quotes proverbs and wise saws, has a strong sense of humor, and is very fond of a gootl joke. He takes an interest in the affairs of his neighbors, and is consequently a gossip.

He never drinks intoxicants ho is rarely an opium smoker. But ho is fond of gambling, cock fighting and kindred sports. He is by nature a sportsman, catches anil tames elephants, is a skillful lisliermau, and thoroughly at homo in a boat. Above all things, ho is conservative to a degree, is proud and fond of his country and his people, venerates his ancient customs and traditions, fears his rajahs, and has a proper respect for constituted authority—while he looks askance on all innovations, and will resist their sudden introduction.—Swettenhain's "Malay Sketches."

ChineM! Horrors.

The poor wretches supposed to have been implicated iu the Hwasong outrages were handcuffed, looking filthy, wild, ghastly, half starved, but a few davs of Vamen prison lifo makes them more like beasts than men.

Diseases that are readily communicated or transmitted show themselves in the face Leprosy, epilepsy and various constitutional or blood diseases make their presence known most clearly and unmistakably. This is ono of nature's methods fur protecting tho pure against tho impure.

The liabiiual drunkard, tho debauchee and the unclean carry signs that all may read and understand. These victims of disorders of mind and body would object to wearing a placard on their backs telling what ails them, yet aro compelled to go about with the hideous truth written in their faces where all may see it.

Wrinkled brows, sunken eyes, drooping life lines, pale or sallow complexion, dullness of the eyes, breathing through tho mouth, decay of teeth, offensiveness of the breath, sunken cheeks, dark rings or puffv patches under the eyes, crooked or sunken nose, mouth drawn to ono side, watery eyes, red noso and many other face marks aro each and every one a sign of d.-easo or defect.—Pittsburg Couimorciai-f-iazette.

Disaster# to Swallows.

Although swallows aro such wonderfully quick sighted birds, and can change tho direction of their flight with amazing rapidity and ease, it occasionally happens tluir tlicy either do not perceive the danger ./ingin their path or are not quick enougbto avert it, fori have once or twice, while fly fishing for trout, accidentally knocked down and stunned a swallow. Several instances have also been recorded of the poor bird being struck and killed by golf balls, and in one case at least even by a cricket ball.

Petrels and other sea birds havo been known to collide while in midair and drop into passing boats. Wild ducks are occasionally picked up ou board ships that have been lying at anchor all night in some of our

large

rivers and estuaries.

They strike the rigging or funnels during their nocturnal flights, and as many uS live wore found one morning on the deck of a vessel lying at the mouth of the Thames.—

Ancient Hearts.

Tho transfer of Kosciusko's heart to the castle at Rapperswill, Switzerland, recalls many stories of tho crusader who, dying in the Holy Land, sent thoir hearts to friends at home. So afterward Sir Robert Peckham died out of England in 1580, but his heart was not buried uutil 1 The heart of John Baliol wat- embalmed by his widows desire i:nd inclosed iu ail ivory casket enaine'a with silver.

She Tricked the Burglar.

"Take biru all around, the burglar has as much human nature in him as the average man. It cuts the professional to the quick to be called a sneak thief. Therie are just three things he will run from—a hysterical woman, a small dog and !a revolver. If a burglar gets into you/ house remember that discretion is the Better part of valor. Sometimes diplomacy is better than either. "(So far a woman carried tho blue ribbon on diplomacy. The lady, hearing some one in the dining roots, thought it was her husband, and slipped down to pouij a glass for him. She confronted a burglar, who was making vigorous search of the sideboard. Slio stepped to a closet and brought out a heavy basket, saying: 'Here is the silver. Now, do go away, my good man, because I hoar my |iusband at the front door and he carrjfes a pistol.' "Tho burglar fled with the basket, and the lady fainted. When her liuEband revived her, she told the tale and explained that tho basket contained an immense maltese cat that slept in it.

She fainted again for the possible fate of pussy. Tho next morning the cat scratched at the basement door. It looked no worse for the adventure, and it bore a note tied arnuud its neck which conveyed the compliments and admiration of her victim the burglar."—Chicago Times-Herald.

amazingly clever woman is Sarah Bernhardt. Cornered by an indiscreet interviewer with tho question, "What do you think of Signora Duse?" she replied: "That clever Signora Dusel She is a groat artist, and will become one of the greatest actresses of the modern stage. She is a true artist in sontiment, and has very largely tho faculty of representing the truth without exaggera^ tiou. Oh, yes 1 Signora Duso Will becomo great—very groat." Could anything be more adroit? There is no disparagement, no criticism, only a bland assumption that Eleonora Duse is a promising beginner a mere novice, whose achievements are all in the future. "I do not know," Sarah went on, "why Signora Duso has never acted in

Paris. It is a great baptism." What exquisitely feline courtesy 1 To the interviewer it meant, "You see, she dares not meet mo on my native heath," while in her soul, no doubt, Sarah was saying: "Bali! No words of mine will either bring her to Paris or keep her away 1 Better play the beau role in seeming to rivito her." If the contest were one of diplomacy, Duse would certainly stand a poor chance.—London World.

Modern Criticism.

A small but sturdy boy of 6 years was lately entered as a pupil at one of the best fin de siecle suburban kinder gartens. Evidently, however, the young man had h"s own opinion of what a "school" ought to be, probably based on his observance of the studies of his two older brothers, one of whom is in a preparatory school and the other in college, as he seemed to feel quite degrad ed at belonging to a school where no books were used.

His little air of apology when you drew from him, most unwillingly, ac counts of the games and exercises at his kindergarten was something quite too funny. The other day on his way home he met a crowd of public school children and was hailed with shouts of "Hello, Ted 1 Do you go to school here?' "No," replied Ted, with a fine con tempt for his alma mater. "I goto school where you don't learn anything —New York Herald.

The Cellars of Bordeaux.

The cobwebs will seem to an impres sionable visitor the noblest things in the Bordeaux cellars. Some of them look like thick pile curtains, somber in hue of course, but famously suggestive of warmth. And with even only a moderate imagination one may go to and fro among the barrels fancying the pendentshapes overhead are dusky stalactites instead of tho airy next to nothing as they really are. If you hold your candle high enough,*you may shrivel a few yards of tho fabric. But that wero truly a shocking deed of vandalism, for, though no layman can understand why this dismal tapestry is reverenced as it is, his ignorance will not bo hold sufficient excuse for his crime.—Chambers' Journal.

PunlHlimnntB In Early Days. The following extracts from early records give us a glimpse of some of the singular punishments in vogue New England: "In 1039 Dorothy Brown, for beating her husband, is ordered to be bound and chained to a post." 'In 1043 the assistants order three Stoneham men to sit in the stocks on lecture day for traveling on the Sabbath." 'In 1651 Anna, wife of GeorgeEllis was sentenced to be publicly whipped

Jor reproaching the magistrates, "In 1658, for slandering tho elders, she had a cleft stick put on her tongue for half an hour."

Aptly Quoted.

"No," said tho linguist, "we have no equivalent in tho !Luglish language for au rovoir. This phrase expresses tho hope of meeting you again. Our goodby does not. Iu my opinion the French is the better phrase, which leaves it to be inferred that there is a prospect of meet ing you again"— "In other words," said a student, "I'll see you later!"

The class tittored, and tho linguist did his best to frown, but Jailed.—Boston Courier.

Yawning. is it very healthy to French physician, "but

"Not only yawn," says a

artificial yawning should be resorted to in cases of sore throat, buzzing of tho ears, catarrh and liko troubles." It is Baid to bo as efficacious in its way as gargling the throat, with which process it ehould be combined.
