A great 1pe which makes its home in Dorneo is the gibbo'. which is a small anii.al compared with the orang. weI0i ng only about forty or lifty pounds. it is very frail in : bodily mIke'up. he head is set squarely on0 the shoulders. :mxd it looks upward. When walking on the grour.d it bal ances itself like a walker on a tight rope. Its remarkable power of grasp and dexterity in using its hands are equally ;.1n the shape of its cranium indexes of its superior intelli gence. perha:ps because it is able to take hoi otf :' ; grater number of thi;:s and examine them. The gib ins go u droves. wh:eroas orangs live by fatmilies. and one of the most inter eC!ting spectacles imaginable is to see a troop of them crossing a great gap in the forest by throwing themselves in succession through the :a'ir. each one taking a swing nr two to gather mo mentum before !aunching himself. So great is their agility that in executing feats of this sort they seem like birds. Voltaire's Retort. That famous politician. orator and nan of fashion the fourth Earl of Ches terfield was on one occasion at a grand assembly in France. where Voltaire was one of the guests. Suddenly the French writer accosted his lordship with the words: "My lord, I know you are a judge. Which are the more beautiful. the Eng lish or the French ladies?" "Upon my word." replied Chesterfield. with his usual presence of mind. "I am no judge of paintings." Some time afterward, says a biogra pher. Voltaire. being ip London. hap pened to bie at a nobleman's party with Chesterfield. A lady in the company prodigiously rouged directed her whole discourse to Voltaire and engrossed his conversation. Chesterfield came up, tapped him on the arm and said: "Sir, take care that you are not cap tivated." "'My lord." promptly replied the French wit. "I scorn to be taken by an English craft under French colors." A Costly Bed. At Knole park, Sevenoaks. England, in the king's bedroom is one of the most extravagant bedsteads ever wade. It was prepared by. Richard, third Earl of Dorset, for the reception of James I. It is twelve feet high by seven feet six inches long. The curta-ins. val ances, tester and lower valances are composed of cloth of gold and, together with the ceiling, are lined with brilliant coral taffetas. now much faded, all closely embroidered in a floral design in gold. silver and colored silks. The pillows and quilt are of the same em broidered coral silk and trimmed with many rows of most elaborate fringe made of gold, silver, coral silk and black tassels. A London Times writer says that the cost of this astounding extravagance amounted to ES,000, which represents at least ?40,000 of present currency. The Snow Leopard of India. India has produced some of the finest big game hunters in the world. First they kill deer. then tigers, and after that they climb into the hills after the mountain sheep, which are the most diclt of all their kind to fol~ow and kill. But there is one ambition beyond the mountain sheep. That is the snow leopard. This beautiful creature, white as the snows it lives among, is rarely found below a height of 11,000 feet and is even there extremely rare. It is both wild and savage, and the natives have a superstitious fear of its white coat and deep green eyes.
