AMONG THE SIAMESe.
Strange Laws and Customs ot u We
Peculiar People.


A report has been forwarded from
Bangkok TO tho Foreign Office of
journey undertaken by c. E W.
Stringer TO the Laos S.ato of Nan. to-
wards the end of last year, in con-
junction with Mr. +. S. Clarke, an
English merchant, resident in Bang
kok. Tho travellers received somo
information from one of tho members
of the Sanam or Courthouse concern,
ing the laws and customs of Nan.
For stealing an elephant, killing an
elephant buffalo or bullock the
punishment is death. Murder and
house breaking arc also punished with
death. A person detected in smoking
opium is imprisoned for thrco years,
and for second ofIenso he would
probably DO put to death. This sys-
TEN appears TO work well. there hav-
ing been no execution during tho year
then current, and only one the year
before, while there were only four or
five prisoners at the timc Of their visit.
With regard 10 slaves, every man of
tho lower orders must be enrolled at
the Sanam rs tho slave Of some mas
Ter, but he is allowed TO choose whom
he will serve. and IL ho does not like
one. he may re-onroll himself rs the
slave OF another, his own name being
then changed, A slave is fed by his
master while he is working for him,
but at other times ho must feed HIM
self No purchase money Is paid for
him by his owner. During the first
three days of our stay VIC went daily
to sec the cremation ceremonies, which
took place in tho open space in front
of the palace, the chief and his sons
looking on from bamboo sheds erected
for the purpose.
Tho first day we saw some boxing by
young Laos, which tho people seemed
never tired of watching. Some novel
features TO Europeans were the
postures and grlmacos which seemed
to bo considered an essential part of
the fighting. and the usc of the feet
in which some Of the combatants were
rather dcxterous, occasionally dealing
their antagonists o smart blow in the
face with them.
On tho second day, in addition to the
boxing, game was played which boro
some resemblance to football. A
largo cocoanut well groased, was
thrown among number of young
men. who then struggled TO get pos
session of 1t. and tho ono who man.
aged 10 got away with it TO tho other
end of the ground received n prize. 2
After the ceremony of throwing
lines containing two-anna pieces
among the crowd had taken place, tho
"prasat" or wooden structure con-
tanning tho urn. was borne aloft on
the shoulders Of about nnoty mon.
and carried out to place on the bank
of the river, about quarter of milo
from tho walls, followed by q long
procession, in which were the sons Of
tho chief, with their attendants. In
accordance with the balbarous custom
prevalent here, tho ''prasat'' was
opened and tho body taken out and
stripped of all its coverings before the
pyre was lighted by the Uparat. Pal

A KING ON A HOBBY HORSE.

The painting represented in the cut is now on exhibition in London. It was painted for the queen regent by Professor Koppoy, who, though but little known in England or America, enjoys considerable reputation on the continent. He Is the person who painted the picture of stork with child and which has been repro duced from iEnumerable photographs un- til it Is familiar to almost every one. The queen mother especially commissioned Professor Koppoy to paint the young king. and more effective attitude could not have been selected. The 24- year old monarch couldn't sit any straighter on his horse or look more regal If he were his ancestor, the Emperor Charles V. at re- view. His eyes are black and bright. and his features are those of en intelligent child. Doubtless he is just coming old enough to begin to understand what it is to be born king.
