TIE POLYaAMY QUESTION.

President Cleveland, in his message to
Congress, treats the polygamy question
as follows: "The strength, the perpetuity
and the destiny of the nation rest upon
our homes established by the law of God,
guarded by paternal care, regulated by
paternal authority, and sanctiied by
paternal love. These are not the homes
of polygamy. The mothers of our land,
who rule the nation as they mold the
character and guide the actions of their
sons, live according to Gods holy ordin.
ance, and each, pure and happy in the
exclusive love of the father of her chill
dren, sheds the warm light of true woman
hood, unperverted and u%npolluted, upon
all within her pure and wholesome family
circle. These are not the cherries,
crushed and %unwomanly mothers of
polygamy. The fathers of our families
are the best citizens Of the republic, the
wife and children are the sources of pa
triotism, and conjugal and paternal affec-
ton beget devotion to country. The man
who, indebted with plural marriage, is
surrounded in his single home with his
wife and children, has a stake in the

country which inspires him with respect
for its laws and courage for its defense.
These are not the fathers of polygamous
families. There is no feature Of this
practice, or the system which sanctions
it, which is not opposed to all that is OF
value to our institutions. There should
be no relaxation in the firm but just exc
cution Of the law now in operation, and
1 should be glad to approve such further
legislation as will rid the country OF this
blot upon It's fame"

Siamese Royalty.

The Siamese call their first or SUI
preme king the wang luang and the
second king the wang ma. During the
early history of Siam it was the custom
for the wang na, or second king, to
succeed to the supreme power in the
realm in the event of the death OF the
first king. This custom was abolished
about fifty years ago, when law was
enacted providing that the succession
to the crown could be determined only
by the ''Senabodee," or council of
state. The right OF primogeniIure has
never been recognized in SiIm, and in
the event of the death OF the present
monarch one of his younger brothers,
instead of his eldest son, might sue
ceed him. In Siamese history the
usages OF royalty show that ut various
periods there were instances when wang
mas, or seconu kings, dId not exist, and
there were also periods when three
kings reigned, having almost equal
powers. During the reign of Somdetch
Phra Chaum klow, his majesty ap-
pointed his younger brother, Prince
Chow Pah kromakun, the wang na, or
second king, and during the reign of
the present monarch, ChuIalongkorn,
the ''senabodee" elevated the late Sec
ond king, who was then prince, as
before stated, and his cousin to the
royal post, which he had at the time
of his death. 1t is not likely, in view
of the progressive policy of the supreme
king and the changes which he has been
adopting in the governmental system,
that the vacancy will be filled. so that
with the death of the second king the
office is practically abolished.

IhG next day he was III no condItlop to
move. and was obliged to keep his bed.
Growing rapidly worse, and fearing
that his injuries would result seriously
II lot attended to, he watched for his
next-door neighbor, and when he saw
her he signaled for her to come TO him.
1he girl came up and heard his story,
and volunteered to go to town for
doctor. When the physician arrived
and dressed Belden's wounds Helen
told them that she would look i'll oc-
casionally and attend to the sick mans
wants, and she kept her promise relig-
lously- For nearly a month she visited
beidens shack regularly, cooked and
served Belden's meals, dressed his
wounds, and helped him as tenderly as
relative could. When he got so that
he could sit up and help himself her
visits became shorter and at longer in-
tervals, and at length they ceased alto
gether.
This last spring it became necessary
for somebody to put in the crops if any
thing was 10 be done. Beiden had had
no settlement with the girl, ami she
appeared to be making preparations
to work his farm as we'll is her own.
He didn't want to give up beaten, and
he could not quarrel with the woman,
especially one to whom he was under
so many obligations. Finding that
things were becoming intolerable as
they were, he called on her one even
ing in May, and they had long talk,
the result of which has just been dis
covered. After that consultation they
were frequently together. They worked
crops, and last week they were mar

Perfnned Bellies.

For the past two seasons an ami
mated discussion has been going on in
society as to the propriety of using
perfumes. The anti-perfumers practi-
cally carried the day Until last year, .
when several of their fair opponents
succeeded in creating reversal of
opinion, so TO speak. The correct
thing now is for a lady 10 have per-
fume of her own. Some accomplish
this by com animation of perfumes, and
a very few have sought professional
aid from the outside and purchased
secrets which have been Zealously
guarded. Perfume should not be used
upon the handkerchief. OF course this
will not interfere with the flower craze.
Many of the bellies in society wear but
one kind of flower and thus seek to in
dividualize it.
1t is IA rather pretty custom and gives
the young men ample opportunities of
knowing just what their lady friends
can wear in the line of floral decora-
ton. The IrdUelier correspondent was
allowed to enter a secret a day or two
ago which is vitality and violently agi-
tating the mind of the society Young
man just now. The latest, the newest,
the most agonizing, the most excrucia-
ting, the most fascinating thing out,
according to the authority of a young
man whose life is but an endless whirl
OF fashionable dissipation, is the silk
handkerchief quilt craze.
Now, my dear fellow, you mustn't
laugh, you know. Really, it isn't fun
until you know all about it. 1t isn't
any relation to the crazy quilt craze,
which belongs solely to the ladies.
All We have to do with that, you know,
Is to supply pieces of our cravats to
our lady friends. But this is some
thing for men. You'll appreciate it
l know you will. Well, I'll tell You
all about it.
You see, in the first place l buy a
number of plain white silk handker-
chiefs. Then | distribute them among
my lady friends--one to each. The
lady is expected to emoroider her ini-
tiais or monogram in her own hair in
the corner. Could anything be more
beautiful? The idea came from abroad,
but it has taken immensely here. You
see. the lady who has long, !uxuriant
hair has chance to deity show the
fact, while the girl who hasn't-weli, 1
suppose she either buys or bUrrowS
some of the same shade as her own.
Only the short-haired girls are fighting
this craze. I'm with the long-hairs' in
the contest, because it's the proper
thing, you know. "-HdSkiHgtol Cor

for one face Vainly in the grove of
birch, that masculine face was turned
towards window in the little cottage
of The Veunevales, at which a girl sat
sewing with bent brown head and eyes
alight.
Gussie met him next after the morn

She chided him playfully for his abb

MuSic from GAS is the latest English

Music from gas is the latest English
invention. 1t is called pyrophone. Its
compass is three octaves, with key
board, and it will be played in the
same manner as an organ. 1t has
thirty-seven glass tubes, in which Il
number of gas jets burn. These jets,
placed in circles, contract and expand
like the fingers of a hand. When the
small burners separate the sound Is
produced; when they close together
the sound ceases. The tone depends
upon the number of the burners and
the siz, OF the pipes in which they
burn, SO that by careful arrangement
and selection all the notes of the musi-
cal scale may be produced in several
octaves. Some OF the glass tubes IN
which the Jets burn are nearly u tees
high.
