'. i $ # The Dyek •• e Climber. The Hill Djaks of Borneo are expert climbers. Mr. Hornaby, while coll«e t- : ini' specimens of natural historr, saw a L>yak ascend a Large tajjang tree, five feet i in diameter at the l>ase. straight as a , ship's mast, and without the smallest limb or knot for 120 feet up. The man went up the tree to secure a bees’ nest hanging from the under side of the lowest limb. The nest was simply a large, naked, triangular piece of white comb. A Dyak “ladder” had been put up the previous year, and reached from the ground to tlte branches. It consisted of •even twenty foot bamboo |*ok-s held al most end to end alongside the trunk by sharp pegs driven into the soft wood about two feet ajiart. The pegs were driven first on one side of the poles ami tlien on the other, and to tliem the bamboos were lashed by rat tans, which held them firmly alxmt eight inches from the tree. These pegs served om the rungs of tire ladder. The builder must liave been a IxjW man, with nerves of steel, lie was obliged to let tlio ends of the poles over, lap a few feet in order to build the ladder with safety to himself. The completion of the ladder was most difficult. Clinging to the slight bamlx* pole, 100 feet from the ground, he hauled up the last bamboo, twenty feet long, drove in the peg, lashed the lower end ol the pole to it, and then ascended that shaking bamboo to fasten it at the top. The Dyak honey hunter fastened to he back a basket to receive the honey. Mak ing up his torchwood. with which t< •moke the bees out of the neat and a war from himself, he ignited it, slung it by i cord from lua neck, so that it would hanj. below his feet, tmd started up the sleiidei “ladder.” Hand and foot he went tip. i*?g aftei G g. with a nonchalant ease which \voul». vo done credit to the most daring o. sailors. Even that sailor would liavt been pardoned if he was a little shaky, while climbing a tall factory chimney b\ the lightning rod. On reaching the lower limb, 123 fee' from the ground, he took his torch in on* hand, waved it to and fro, until it smoke* freely, and then crawled out along th« bare brrnch until he was in reach of tin coveted nest. Examining it first on one side, and tliei on the other, he shouted down as cheer fully as if his climb had lic-eu nothing “No honey 1” ' Leaving tlte comb untouched, he d«* •eeuded, with a smile, and reached th* ground without the least tremor.— Youth’s Companion. London Public House*. In London laprooms, the quantity oi liquor served in the glass ranges accord ing to the pennies ])aid. “A two” o: whisky or gin is equal to four cents worth—about a small sized sherry gins full. “Neat” is without water. “Cold" is with cold water added, or “hot water,’ as you prefer. Brandy is sold from thre* to six pence worth. Sixpence (twelv. American cents) is the Unlit. But o course there is nothing—as i>olice niagis trates know to their sorrow—to preven an encore of quantity." In the cocknet slang gin is called “white satin,” an* “ ’olf a go o’ white satin” trans fitted means three pence worth of gin. A “B. & S.” of course meant “a glass of brandy and soda,” a form of dissipation considerably intro- duced into America by the festive Eng lish actor. “The boy” is the “pub” slang for champagne. Often some sprip of a clerk will be heard to ask for “a droj of the boy, my dear,” of the chaffin*. barmaid. Then, coming down to tin great beverage of England, ale, a glass ol “old and bitter” refers to tlte old ale am' the lighter bitter ale mixed. The name? of “pults” are often very odd. “Th* Swan with Twpu Necks,!’ “The Hen and Chickens,’ v “Th<* Dapple Grey,” “Tin Cat and Fiddle, 1 ’ “The Bull and Mouth,’ “The Nun’s Head,” “Tlte Royal Oak.” Cow,” “ The Green Man,” [these names come from the lavs of England, and have Era some strange, fanciful. imantie traditions.—Cor.

Although as the Chinese pirate is, as a rule, the most abject coward where Eu rojleans are concerned, he is. at least, cajiablc of striking terror into the heart of lus countrymen; and a couple ol pirate junks, mounting hut a single tw< jaiunder gun between them, have been known to blockade a port of 4.000 inhab itants and to plunder every ship that passed. In another case a pirate gait): of 500, who had yielded to a rush oi twenty or thirty blue jackets, liad pre viously defied a native force of 1,500 troops and forty war junks. Directly, however, a small gunboat, maimed by Europeans, apiieared uj>on the scene, their career w;is at an end, Chinese piracy is at times almost a business. A pirate merchant, in the wholesale way, will infest certain vil lages on the seaboard or islands. He will keep fifteen or twenty junks, with a cor responding retinue of ruffians, and when he lias secured his plunder, ho stores it in safety. A pirate in a small way of busi ness, having once made a good haul, will divide the sjioil, and then his followen- immedlately disperse, for fear of an at tack from another gang, Tlte old saying of “dog eat dog” applies with striking force to the transactions of the plun derers of the China sea.—All the Yeai Round. C>en. Slu>ri<Iuu**i Ambulance. “If Phil Sheridan pure liases a summer residence on the South Shore,” said a military man this morning, as lie looked over Ids pa|>er, “I suppose he will bring Ids ambulance along with him, and drive up and down the beach in his old superb btyle. I suppose you know that Sheridan, if he can hclp.it, never rides in any other carriage than au army ambulance? Be fore Ids marriage, when his headquarters were at Chicago, his ambulance, neatly {tainted and varnished and comfortably upholstered, drawn by four of the hand somest and sprightiiest mules in the United States, groomed until they shone, and driven by a soldier in uniform, was one of the most familiar objects on the streets. Everybody knew it and greatly admired it, “When ho married he had to got a coupe, of course, and people all pitied him when they saw him in it, he looked so completely lost. But ho kept tho ambu lance and rattled over the jiaveuient in it whenever Mrs. Sheridan did not care to go out. It went to Washington with lam.”—Boston Transcript. Husty Orange*. The name “orange” is derived from the Latin aurantiuin (from aurum, gold) and the idea of an orange of any other than a golden color is like that of a leop ard without spots. But while tho Medi terranean orange is almost always of a bright golden yellow, a large proportion of the oranges grown in Florida are cov ered with a brown rust which much de preciates their market value, even though it does not impair their sweetness and flavor. Some who have looked for the cause of this unfortunate discoloration declare that it is produced by minute fungous plants, similar to those which form mil dew, smut, mould, etc. Others assert that this rusty appearance is caused by tho oxidized sap which exudes from the ! rind through punctures made in it by ; microscopic mites like spiders, and the latter is tho prevailing theory at present. —New York Market Journal. WATCHMAKING IN FRANCE. Tb« Knoruiou* Yearly Output of Almost 65,000,000 Watches. A French correspondent sends us the following {larticulars of the watch trade of his country by way of supplementing what Sir John Bennett said the other day about Swiss watches: “Besancon, in the old province of Pranelie Comte, is the center of watch making in France. In 1877 428,751 watches, of which 290,763 were silver. [Kissed through the Hall marking estale lishment. And those watches represented an amount of 24,000,000 francs. The [Kipulation of Besancon living ujKin the watch industry is 15,000. Besancon l•ob sesses a schooLof horology and an obser vatory. This last has a department used by watch manufacturers for the purjiose »f timing watches. The village of Cluses. also, whose working population is alxmt 1,000, makes watch movements, pinions, wheels, wheel cutters, keyless works and ♦undry detached pieces, such as barrel arbors, etc., to the value of 1,500,000 francs; most of that production is sent to Switzerland. Cluses possesses also a ichool of watchmaking of good repute. Watch glasses are produced hi sufficient [uantities at Trois Fontaines to supply he whole world. Their value is fixed at 1,300,000 francs. “Last, hut not least, comes Paris, the ;radlc of such horologists ns Thiout, An- • ide. Janvier, Leroy, Berthoud. Breguet, •tc. Paris manufactures ship chronorae- ers, regulators, and turret clocks, finishes .hose French clocks so well known here, the movements of which come from Beau- •ort. St. Nicholas, and the making of heir artistic cases engages a great many corkers. Paris alone manufactures argely clock material, such as anchors, anions, main springs, hands, dials, elec- ric apparatus—finished by watchmakers, who number about 8,000. Paris, besides lelivering to the trade 250,000 clocks, 300,000 eight and one day alarms, tell tales, etc., is the great emjiorium for the ♦ale of watches. It lias a school of hor- ilogy, which bids fair to become the best if France. Saunier concludes his report In estimating the total of the watch making production of France: Besancon. 14,000,000; Paris, 23,000,000;some small •enters of production, such as Trois Fon taines, 1,500,000; Morez and neighbor hood, 4,000,000; Saint Nicholas d’Aller- :nont, 1,500,000; Beaucourt, Montbeliard- Selincourt, 9,000,000; Cluses, 1,500,000; total, 04,500,000.”—Pall Mall Gazette. Cl«*lntr Day* in th« H»u*e. It was curious to note the difference which the loss of sleep made with differ ent members. Speaker Carlisle had a splitting headache and his eyes were dull and expressionless. Mr. Randall’s black eyes s[>arkled with unwonted fire, and he was as brisk and chipper as if lie had eight hours refreshing sleep. Waite, of Connecticut, the oldest man in the house, who is fur up in the seventies, showed no sign of weariness, while young fellows like McAdoo, of New Jersey, looked sail and hollow eyed from loss of sleep. Reed, of Maine, was another man whose vitality' withstood the drain upon it. He was as ready to tell a story to his fellow members over in “Saint’s Corner,” or chastise the Democrats for their shortcomings, as if he had not been up all night. Morrison, of Illinois, who is a man of iron frame, showed the effect of too much tension. Perhaps the tlinifT 1 '* W would in a few hours step from the halls of congress, where he had been a leader, had something to do with his depression; but he looked weary and sad. Randolph Tucker, to whom retirement from the house comes as a glad relief, was cheery and fresh as a schoolboy, and went about with his fellow members, and beamed kindly on everybody through his spectacles,— Providence Journal. Ilamlwrltlnfi of the Insane. In a paper entitled “The Handwriting of the Insane,” recently’ read in Phila delphia, Mrs. Henry Hazlehurst stud that the giving way of the mind in an edu cated person was often shown in bad spelling, blotting, frequent erasures, the absurd use of parentheses, italieization and underscoring in excess. Insane pride and obstinacy' take to capitals, and, it is said, make frequent use of the letter “P,” which becomes perfectly enormous. Many of these indicia were to be found in the handwriting of ex-Sheriff Rowan, who recently became insane. In him, too, was noted another peculiarity, a tendency to commence at tho right in stead of the left hand side of the paper, this being carried so far that lie would not leave himself room on the paper to complete even his signature.—New York Sun. Movement of the Air. The mean atmospheric pressure for the whole earth, as shown by a barometer, is found by Kleiber of St. Petersburg to be 29.91 inches. That for the northern hemisphere is 29.96 inches, and for the southern 29.87. The average northern excess is greatly increased in January, but becomes a deficiency in July', when tho southern pressure is slightly the greater, a mass of air sufficient to give a pressure of nearly .24 over a hemisphere appearing to be periodically shifted from one side of the equator to the other by the changing seasons.—Arkunsaw Trav eler. Ate Up the Crew. The tragic seems to verge on the ludic rous once again when we read that a number of Melanesian laborers, who were being taken back to the Solomon islands at the expiration of their contracts, ate up the entire crew of tho vessel convey ing them. The crew in question consisted of Paratongans and other Polynesians. The shocking event will produce great excitement throughout Oceania.—The Argonaut. To Oulrkeu the Lazy Itlood. “If I had my way,” said an old friend of Gen. Logan. “I would inaugurate a campaign for the revival of patriotism, operating just as Mr. Moody w^jrks in his revival meetings. I would preach patriotism at every street corner and in every school and in every church. I would have more national music, and I would adopt some measure to quicken the lazy blood of the rising generation. I have seen the time when the music of a brass band would rouse 10,000 tired and footsore soldiers to a state of screaming enthusiasm. I look for the time to come when the descendants of those men will be stirred gvery time they hear the na tional airs, I am a brass band map from the ground up,”—Inter Ocean.

Long and Short. “Long John” Wentworth, who was six feet seven, and Stephen A. Douglas, the “Little Giant,” who was five feet four, were members of the house of representa tives at the same time. One day when they stood conversing in the area before the speaker’s chair, Wentworth bending over and Douglas on tiptoe, John Quincy Adams said, “Illinois there presents us with the long and the short of its position on the bill before the house.—Ben; Per ley Poore in Boston Budf t. The Ihiehlo of Quthdo. I found the natives so jieacpable and courteous that my firearms were an un- i necessary load. On ono occasion, lieing , at the hut of a native, an invitation to dine was accepted. No meinlx-r of the i family bat down with me, so great was j their vesjK'-ct. They remained standing ( until I had done. On leaving the men all | raised their hats. The women were | always reserved until approached, but re- I spend toa gentlemanly inquiry with quiet ' modesty. The women, according to the ‘ usual custom, are seldom wedded by cc- : clesiastical ceremony. Matrimony is too | dear as performetl through the instru mentality of the padre, and the proba tion demanded by the red tape of the church before esiKiusing is irksome. So when the native man thinks of taking a helpmate lie prepares by taking a machete (a long knife or sword with a w*Kxien handle), and an acre or so of ground. After cutting from the land the brush wood and weeds he plants a j»ortion with bananas or plantains, which liear fruit in three years. He then builds a hut of [•aim, thatched perfectly tight. The house being-built and the bananas maturing, he selects the woman to be easared (housed). There is no ceremony necessary. They have a family, th*-chil dren are not educated nor clothed, nor is any provision necessary. Nature pro vides so bountifully for nearly all their wants; why should they worry about their next meal? There is a bunch of bananas and plantains maturing every day for j*erhaps 100 years without any further attention. Fish are abundant in the stream passing by their door. The man wants a straw hat, which tho woman provides, woven by her hands with the grass near at hand. Tho woman weaves a covering cloth from the inner Lark of a palm tree, colored green, just sufficient to meet what modesty demands. The man sometimes wants a dime for gam bling. or whisky, or gunpowder, which is provided by the woman, who does the gold washing and principal labor.—Cboco Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.

Said a paominent lawyer the other day: “The oath in law should, I think, be abolished. It has retained its place upon the theory that it tends to secure tho telling of the truth, but it does not. I have been for thirty years constantly aliout courts of law, and I unhesitatingly say that any person conscientious enough to regard an oath will tell the truth without one, and for those who may he restrained by the fear of punishment for perjury the statutes can he so amended as to make lying upon tho witness stand or the subscription of false affidavits in legal proceedings punishable by the same penalties now attached to perjury. “During the thirty years that I have named I have carefully watched the course of legal morality, and I tell you that perjury becomes daily more com mon and the oath fighter and more per functory. The clerk drawls out the form of oath without pause or punctuation. The witness, with falsehood deliberate and rehearsed in his heart, drops his right hand, takes the stand, the lie comes glibly to his lips, and some man’s prop erty, reputation or liberty are sworn away for dollars or for a grudge. “The inconsiderate profanity of the angry or drunken man is harmless when compared with the indolent indifference with which officers administei and the black perjury with which witnesses take the oath. If we cannot make lying in judicial proceedings less, let us at least make it more decent and less profane.— Detroit Free Press. An Irish magTstete asked a prison er if fie was married. ’’V.No,” replied the man. “Then,” said his worship amid peals of laughter, “it’s a good thing for your wife.” Thousands of people suffer with back ache, not knowing that in most cas *s, it is a symptom of diseased kid neys and liver, which plasters and lo tions cannot heal.
