For a tume i waded swamps, clinbed mountains and searched forests wholly in vain. As to orang-utans, no one seemed to know anything except what was ancient history, and I was at my wits end to know where to go. After all, the most dimcult thing about hunting 1s to flhd out where tue game Is, and get within striking distance of it, That once ‘secomplished it ts easy enough to do the killing. At last a couple of quictmannered, simpie- mindes Dyaks paddled their canoe down'from the interior, aud chance led them to my door. They Said they saw a “mias” (orang-utan) on their way down, and others had occasionally been seen in the forest along the head-waters of the river, ‘and along the shore of the lake by which their vil- Jage stood. ‘That was euough for us, and the next day we were on our way up there. How shall I descrive the eventsof our first @ay in the orang-utan country! I think I had better not describe them at ali, for it 's only the few who have lived two years in ‘doubtful anxlety concern- ing their own fortunes that would have any char- 46g for my superlatives. ‘We killed ‘three orang-utans and solved the problem of the trip: ‘As We approached the sources of the River Simu- jam, ® branch of the Sacong, we found the nests of Grang-utans in th tops of the low trees along the stream. It shouid be mentioned here that the Whole of the great island of Borneo 1s one vast und all-pervading fcrest of perpetual green. The Jand along both sides of the river was entirely submerged for an unknown distance back, and ‘when the trees stood so thickly that we could not ro them with a boat we had to wade wsfter our game.

The good manners of a household are gen erated a3 the atmosphere is regenerated by per- petual renewals, Nothing 1s $0 out of taste, so productive of ill-feeling, as for the members of the ‘same family to say able things to each other. Itis that familiarity which breeds con- tempt. The teiling of people tnat they 100k very badly Is a salutation which had better be omitted. Human nature fs such a poor thing at best that It needs all tue bolstering up which it can get from @ cordial greeting. ‘THE MAN TO Bow Finsr. The American etiquette demands that a lady ‘should bow first to a gentleman before he can pre- sume to bow. We differ from this. It comes from England, where an introduction for dancing pur- poses does not constitute an acquaintance, and the lady has a right to drop the gentleman next morning. In our country, ag on the continent, such an introduction does constitute acquaintance. It 4s for Unis reason that ladies in England are ex- pected to bow frst, while on the continent it 1s the gentleman who gives the first sign of recognition, asit should be here, when the rect ition isnot simultaneous, For example, we wili take the case of a mother with many sons’ She brings an over. freigited memory to the next meeting, after halt adozen your gentiomen remember that they have dined at her house. She does not_ remember ‘them at all; they all remember her, Should she bow first to them? No; they should recall them- selves to her by a graceful, respectful bow. She will be very much obiiged to them, All ovemthe continent it is the man Who bows first. In Amer- ica we can afford to make our own etiquette, It is a8 much the man’s place to bow, with our mode of life, as it 1s the woman's; far more when the man has received her hospitality. ‘The one who recognizes first should be tue first to show recog- nition, and tn thé case of a hostess it 1s tar easier for her guests to remember her than for her to member all of them, Aud what harm cau 1t doa woman if a man bows toher? If she wishes to cut bim she can do it as well after he has bowed as (Copyrighted, 1888.) Recognition should be quick, and salutation gracious. To be complimentary, salutation should be even more than this; it should be flattering, courteous, dignified and suited to the position of the person addressed, To an old person it should be truly respectful, for there fg no such crown as crown of gray haira To a young person tt should be reassuring; to @ person who 1s under the pressure of calamity {t should be as espectally. kind, as cordial, as we can make it. But it should always be dignified. We must not give too much, Remember Bulwer’s line: “He bows too low.” Do not be servile in your salutation, One may say that the above advice is too redundant; no one could convey a whole paragraph by a bow, but fascinating, kind, gracious-mannered people do all this, and more. ‘The quick recognition 1s more ficult. How many of us, alas! forget faces! More of us are confused as to when we saw that face last, There is to the dwellers in cittes a trying confusion as to degrees of acquaintance, if the memory for people and faces 1s not extraordl- ary. | LneTefore, people who are near-sighted or who have not a’memory for faces cannot be quick at recognition. They are always it doubt. Such people have an undeserved unpopularity. "People Delieve them to be cold_and haughty, when they are simply confused, But if a person has a truly cordial disposition, nothing can prevent their Showing {t finally.’ Manner ts but the mask of character after ali. The true nature will come out, CULTIVATING MANNER, But we cannot all stop in this busy world to show off our true natures. Emerson says: “The men we see are whipped through the world. They are harried, wrinkied, anxious. They all seem to be the hacks of invisible riders.” Women are in a ereat hurry also. Our American atmosphere duives us on With scorpion whips. The oxygen Will not let us stop. How shall we greet each other, then, in this great hurrying and rapidiy- lng stream of people, like the pictures Gustay Bore draws of tie victiins. in tke Inferno? We must cultivate a manner, study a tion and ‘salutation which shall convey a kindiy meaning at least. We must not leave the thing to the in- spiration of tue moment; it inight fall us. ‘Perhaps we may mect an old acquaintance who has been for years in the East. Hs face 1s almost forgotten, but it still recalls something, He, It chances, has not forgotten us; he looks eagerly fora bow and a smile. Life tas been, perhaps, lonely and sad to him; tous ithas been repiee with emotion and crowded with events, Shall we disappoint that earnest gaze? No; let there be a recognition, quick and graceful, an answering in- Lerrogative’ glance, a reassurance to that wistful face.“ We can remember who he {s afterward. It is astonishing how soon mpmory brings the for- gotten name after we have ceased to nécd it. It is ike that belated Impromptu, which the French gall “lesprit de Ueseatier”—the wit of the staircase, ‘The good things which we remember that Wwe might have said put did not—as we go upstairs to Ded after the party 1s over. Let at least the passer- by read in your face your desire to be courteous, If you cannot remember him, at Jeast give him a plcasant bow if he bows to you, Such salutations urt nobody, not even a lady, who, if alone, must be circumspect. In the police bow of @ lady, Tull Tespect, tbe man of irregular life finds as check to insult asin the haughty disdain of one who perhaps overestimates his admiration, THER: 13 NO ARMOR LIKE A SWEET DIGNITY. It seems to be one of the best qualities of woman, and it teaches her intuitively how to bow, how to smile, how to recetve her friends and how to dis- miss a bore. Women whose manners are too familiar never have much power. ie do not, €are for that which tuey gain easily; and yet, cor- diality 18 a very necessary adjunct’ to good mane hers.

She can say to nim that she has but a poor memory for faces; that she sees many people, and that she begs he will forgive her. Few men are, and never ‘Ought to be so ill-tempered as to object to this in- | quiry. If they are so thin-skinned as to care, the acquaintance may as well stop there. To make the case our Wn, let us measure our sensations toward our friends by their remembered saluta. tions, We have no very kindly feelings toward Mrs, Claypole, Whe gives us a lofty and briet bow, as if she wished to get rid of us as soon as possi: j ble. Sthl less do we admire Mrs. Smiley, who bows so very much too low that we know she will | betray us behind our backs. We recoguize io her | excessively foollsh cordiallty a certain hypocrisy. | We are wot fond of Mrs, Weathercock, who bows to us fervently When we are well dressed, aad in good company, but also does not see us when we are under the ban of adversity. But we remember Mrs. Heartwell’s elegant and formal courtesy with Jedsure, for 1t shows that she Intends alway’s to | be pertectiy respectful to us, ESTIMATING FRIENDS BY 1HEIR GREETING. Of course from this, all through the gamutof affec- tionate or cold greeting, do We range our friends, ‘There 1s the curiously acute eye and the long- resting glance of Mr. Oaklands. He fsa most in- teresting acquaintance, for his bow says, “How glad Lam to see you; how J should like to stop and | talk to you!” And We like to meet General Tigiit- | Mt, whose military salute breathes the most exalted respect. ‘The bow of » clergyman, a law.

The American bow Is more cordial than the English, but it 1s per- haps not sothoroughiy Weil bred. The Latin races differ very much trom us in the matter of salu- Hous ‘The Italtan language ts full of most lovely phrases, “Cento di questo giorni,” “a thousand Such lovely days,” says the Italian, The Oriental salutions are as ‘splendid as their robes. “May You live a thousand years.” The very exaggera- {on and impossibilty of the request isin ta favor, It_Dreathes such large consideration. How un- ful Would it be to limit that request $0 as to Say, “may you live sixty years,” or even ninety Years. It 1s courteous to make a handsome allow- ance, even of nine hundred and ten years. INTERPRETING SALUTATIONS, Our perception far outruns our memory. Mem- ory fv at best a sulky slave, never coming when bidden.

And if she 1s polite there are very few re- ‘spectful bows which she cannot return, IN EUROPE the salutations of servants and shopkeepers, of couriers and maids, are so much more respectful than here that an American woman is astonished. No doubt there is very much in the polished eti- quette of all society abroad which 1s very grateful to Americans, particularly to women, ‘They like ceremony, politeness, and deference, They like the service, 80 easy and so marked. ‘They like the Geftnitencss of Buropean etiquette. ‘They like fixed social usages. Even a lazy servant affects an American favorably. “He also serves who only stands and Waits.” ‘There is one thing, however, which an American can well learn: hot to be ashamed to take the initiative in hospitality or in politeness. Artificial observances have this merit, they pro- tect the world from “moods” and they start us on our travels at an advantage. If a man or a woman takes to Europe a good manner, a respectful salu- tation, Which Will show that ne was a gentleman at home, he will be treated With respect. The man.
