KING THEEeAW IN EXILE.
Tho BurmAh Monarch with His Two
Queens and Three Children.

NugGht nut Ahi0'
Theebaw, the ex-king Of Burmah, is
now a state prisoner with his two queens
and three children, at R~utnagherry,
where he arrived from Madras on the
10Th of April. Theebaw was brought on
shore by coolies in an arm chair which
was wholly covered with Turkey
red. The two queens were then brought
to shore, and so was the children with
the attendant.
Theebaw, who is about 90 years of age,
is a strong built, middle-sized man, with
a round, fair Chinese complexion, and
wears a slight moustache. He has a pre-
possessing appearance and the gait and
behavior of a refined person. He had
put on a white silk coat reaching down
to his knees, and had a silk langoti of
variegated colors. He was wearing a
whits silk puggree like the rim of a Per
sian hat, from the top of which his plaits
Of hair, which were tied up in the form
of a cone, were visible. He was also
wearing silk stockings and kid leather
shoes, and on the whole he presented a
smart appearance. On each side of his
breast there were attached to the silk
coat two rows of diamonds and rubies of
the size of small chestnuts in gold set
tings, which shone brightly in the morn
ing rays Of the sun.
Sopayah Lat, his ~favorite queen, was
dressed in a small white silk petticoat,
with pink and blue frontages, n a silk
langoti, stockings and English shoes.
The upper portion of her chest, which
was bare, was ornamented with a huge
diamond ncckless some three or four
rows deep, while a sort of a coronet set
with rubies, emeralds and diamonds,
was fixed into the folds OF her hair just
above her forehead. She had also huge
gold rings, set with n large diamond and
emerald on either side of it, fixed into
the holes bored into the lobes of her ears.
The other queen, who was similarly
dressed. and decorated with diamonds
and rubies and emeralds as Sopayah Lat,
did not, however, present a responding
appearance. She is at all events more
handsome and lively than the rival
queen. After Theebaw and his two
queens had been landed, Mr.. Propert and
Mr.. Crawford led the way, and i'm
mediately Sopayah Lat, turning toward
her royal %consort, cast n wistful glance
at HIM, and Offering him her left hand,
followed hand in hand the two officials.
The second queen followed the royal
couple. They all walked with a light
though firm step to the other end of the
shore, where the carriages were waiting
for them. The two queens seated them
selves in what might be called the seat
of honor, and Theebaw and Mr.. Propert
occupied the opposite seat. The eldest
child was also taken into the carriage by
Sopayah Lat, and the party was then
driven to their bungalow on the hill.
In the second boat were brought the six
maids of honor and two other infant
children of Theebaw. The maids of
honor were dressed in much the same
way as the two queens, but they had not
their magnificent jewels to decorate
themselves with. But still zach one,
decorated as they were. carried n mine
of wealth with her. Two of these maids
carried. among other very valuable arti-
cles, two huge bows, which are made of
pure old.-Times of India.

To sum up, bathing is a heaven or
dained practice, necessary not only for
pleasure, but for health. The sponge
bath plays the most important part for
purposes of stimulating the integument
and equalizing circulation, rendering the
person less liable to sudden chills. Tepid
water should be used for baths taken for
the object of simple cleanliness, and
should be reinforced by using some al
kali, either soap Of best quality or, if
the water is hard Containing lime), add
a little borax. Hot baths should not be
followed TO any extent because of their
%enervating effects. Never take a bath
of any kind when over-heated, or very
much fatigued. with an overloaded
stomach, or just before taking a sleigh
ride.-Amelia A. Whiteield, NJ. d., in
Good Housekeeping.

There is nothing drink will not

We fight the drink wherever we
find it, whether it is at the side.
board of the wealthy, in the social
circle, or in the grog shop.
We wage war against the social
drinking customs of the communi,
ty; we want to drive it out of the
saloons and out of the grog shops.
Drunkenness is debasing, i'm
bruiting, blasting, mildewing and
damning to everything that is
bright, noble manly and God-like
in human being.
Drunkenness is the great curse
of this Nation, and we must battle
with it on the platform that for
bids the use of intoxicating liq-
uors as beverage.
1 am not only a Prohibitionist,
l am an annihilationist, so far as
alcoholic drinking is concerned.
For the past two years [ have vot-
ed the third party ticket.
AS I shall answer in the judg-
ment day, l would rather be the
veriest drunkard that ever reeled
disappearing through your streets,
than to be the man that sold
him liquor for money.
They tell US we are rabid on this
subject OF Temperance. [ ask any
reformed drunkard if it is not right
to be rabid against an evil that has
scorched and blasted and scratched
and Scared us?
We say, you know, in the Lords
prayer, "Thy will be done on earth
as it is in Heaven" The Master
never taught his disciples to pray
for anything that is not to be
His will, to be done on earth as it
is in heaven. Will any people get
tight there?
A gentleman said to me the
other day: "The Temperance

it was born in the Church of Christ,
and that which is born there can
never die. Right is to triumph in
the end. 1t is Gods work and not
ours; we are workers.
God never gave man mind
capable of grasping the extent of
the awful evil of darkness for time
and for eternity. Can we exagger-
ate the evil of drunkenness ? Bring
it home; let it crawl across your
threshold and sting you to death.
Drunkenness is the terrible evil of
the age, before which all other
evils pale and sink out of sight.

Good Advice.

"If your local paper" writes an
old journalist now long out of the
business, "happens to tread on your
toes a little in performing its mis-
sion, don't you get your back up
and abuse the editor, but stop and
take good breath and think tor a
season, and see if you can't remem-
Der some of the favors and kindness
es it has shown you in the past.
Then reflect that it may not be
long before you may want some
favors gain,"-Loup City Times.

Let Us Stand tor our Homes.

ED. FREEMAN = aH..
To every sane and unprecedented
mind, it must be obvious that the
traffic in liquor can only be sue
cessfully abolished by Prohibition
laws backed by a Prohibition par
ty, that must and will enforce the
laws. Philosophers, poets, histo-
rians, statesmen, have all admit
ted and deplored the evils of the
rum shop, while the political par
ties of the past have utterly failed
to furnish any adequate means for
the protection of the people against
the accursed fend which is the
chief cause of all crime in our land.
Who would be safe either in his
property or his life for single day,
were bad men allowed to follow
out with impunity, their propen-
stiles for other evils? And yet
the saloon with all its devilish de-
signs and agencies. must be set up
before US in all it's modern styles of
attraction, and placarded by finger
boards, throughout our land, direct
ing humanity down to ruin and
eternal death. From the political
rostrum we may preach against all
other crimes, but this is the politi-
clans stock in trade, this Rum
Curse this chief cause of all want
and woe, all wreck and ruin, THIS
must not be touched! But by the
help of God, we will assail it. The
people will rise in their might
and battle the monster down by
the ballots of a Christian land.
Then, and not till then, the poor
shall have homes, the widow, food,
the orphan, clothes, and the public
almshouse shall be unknown. Man
is responsible to God for the part
he takes in the governmental af-
fairs of his country. The time is
near at hand for US to buckle on
the armor and prepare for the con-
fict.
The rum shops have had posses
sion of America and been dealing
out destruction and death long
enough.
Consider the duties of father and
brother as defenders of beautiful
homes to-day. Can we afford to
use our influence for a traffic that
drags father and brother down to
bankruptcy, ruin and death, and
sends poor innocent children to the
poor house! Now, by our ballots,
let us show where we stand. Pro-
hibition or the Liquor Traffic;
which? Peace, plenty, and joy,
with the former; pauperism, ruin
and death, with the latter. Let US
of Marion county defend our homes
and dear ones.

Strive On.
10 Feel What | Have Felt.

A young lady of New York City
was in the habit of writing tor the
Philadelphia Ledger on the sub
ject of Temperance. The writing
was so full of pathos, and evinced
such deep emotion of soul, that a
friend of hers accused her of being
monomaniac on the subject Of
Temperance, whereupon she wrote
the following lines:
Go feel what 1 have felt,
Go bear what have borne;
Sink meath the blow a feather dealt,
And face the worlds proud scorn:
Thus suffer on from year to year,
Thy sole relief the scorchng tear.
Go kneel as l have knelt,
Implore, beseech, and pray;
Strive the besotted heart to melt,
The downward course to stay,
Be dashed with bitter curse aside,
Thy prayers burlesqued, thy tears defied!
Go weep as l have wept,
Der loved fathers fall;
See every cherished promise swept,
Youths sweetness turned to GALL
Lifes fading flowers strewed all the way
That brought me up to woman's day!
Go see what have seen,
Behold the strong man bowed,
With crashing teeth lips bathed in BLOOD
And cold and livid BROW
60 catch his wandering glance and see
There mirrored his souls misery!
Go to thy mothers side,
And her crushed spirit cheer;
Go, thine own deep anguish hide,
Wipe from her cheek the scalding tear;
Mark her worn frame and withered brow,
The gray that streaks her dark hair now,
With fading frame and trembling limb,
And trace the ruin back to him
Whose plighted faith in early youth,
Promised eternal love and TRUTH
But who forsworn hath yielded up
That promise to the deadly cup,
And led her down, through love and light,
And all that made her promise bright,
And chained her there mid want and strife
That low1y thing a drunkards wife!
And stamped on childhood's brow so mild,
That whitening blight, a drunkard's child!

Barbed Wire Fence.

1t has been decided by the Courts
that mo boundary fence can be
made of barbed wire without the
consent of the parties owning the
adjacent land" and any man who
puts barbed wire fence along the
highway renders himself liable for
all injuries resulting to the stock
passing along said highway. Farm
ers will do well to keep this in
mind,
