cold Tony" the keeper of this re-
markablc horse, has christened his
charge "Yum Yum" At the rcportcr's
request Tony brought the horse from tho
stall and trotted him around the stable
yard. The gait Of the horse is very Pc
culiar and cannot be compared with
that of any other animal. Being double
jointed, when he turns corner his legs
swing around like pivots, giving the
appearance of being hung on hinges.
The double joints OF Yum Yum's
knees are so large that the reporter laid
his forciinger almost out of sight between
them. So peculiarly are they formed
that they do not figure as dcformity.
The horse is very strong and makes a
beautiful saddle horse, although it is a
very funny sight TO see tall man upon
his back. The reporter then asked Tony
to measure the different parts of the
horse.
Yum Yum's head is % inches long. II
is very full and well formed. The neck
is | | iuches long and 10 inches thick.
Ills height is 4G inches. His front legs
measure Just 90 inches, while the hind
legs are one inch higher. His body is
just feet, or 90 inches long This con-
cludes set of measurements which, for
being in direct opposition to the laws of
nature, have never yet been cqualed.
The head, according to the measure.
ments, is that of a perfectly developed
horse. His body is Just a little behind,
while the legs are the length of those of n
small pony Ills. feet are in keeping with
his legs, as he wears i, vc.J -2Gint;;7 shoe.
Dir. Taggert, Yum Yums owner, gave the
porter very interesting history of the
horse. lie said that Yum Yum was born
in Hong Kong in 1888. About n year
and half later q sea captain bought him
and took him to Boston, where he was
sold.
After q short stay at the "Hub" he
was transferred 10 New York, where the
late General Lee Yu Doc fell in love with
him and bought him at big price. The
General had him kept in Orange, n. j.,
and used to 60 out once or twice week
and spend day in hor. eback riding.
The General also took n liking to the
farmer that kept Yum Yum for him, and
snid that if he ever died the farmer
should have the horse The man was
cased mt the offer and prevailed upon
the General to put the nature of his gift
upon paper. When the General died,
therefore, an effort was made by his
friends to get possession of the Chinese
horse, but the farmer held Yum Yum
under the Generals signature.
FINALLY Mr. Taggelt, who resides in
orange, saw the horse one day and
bought him from the farmer at con-
siderable sum.
He brought him to New York, md
when occasion requires it, uses him on
one of his wagons. Mr.. Taggcrt has
also had light sulkey made for his
curious horse and affirms that on q good
country Yum Yum has frequently made
mile in 2.40 or less. His double Joints
allow his legs a very wide stretch and
his speed is surprising.

THE 0oLcorlIA OF SIAM.

whether he would be allowed the privi-
lege of freedom Of the press, the jolly
King replied in joking manner: Yes,
but if you say what does not please me
I'll bamboo you OF course the King
did not mean that he would carry out
his threat. However, the young man
began vigorous attack upon the Chi
ncsc, and he advocated restriction of
Chinese Immigration. The King noti-
he'd him to let some one else print the
newspaper and to report to his palace,
where he would be detailed position
in the Foreign Office.
''But the ming and Queen are usually
quite liberal with their subjects, and of
late years they have been very charitable,
recently endowing and giving large sums
to well known charities. Tho Bangkok
Times, semi. weekly newspaper edited
and owned by a remarkable Englishman
named William Else, who speaks seven
teen languages, has never been molested
by the Government. There are great
many English speaking people to patron
lze his paper, but by far the greater part
of the foreign population is German.
The city itself is hcalthful for place of
GOO, 900 population. We have daily mon.
soons, and q daily rise of ten feet in the
tide water river Menam Chopca. A large
part of the city is built on the river, and
boating is the chief occupation OF the
lower classes.

al nations, although their resemblance
is very faint. The full blooded Siamese
is copper colored and not usually more
than five feet five inches in height They
are alert and active, reasonably muscu-
lar, and decidedly handsome people.
Nothing of the h:nese cast of featureis
to be found among them. The popula.
tion of the Empire is about 10, 600. 600.
but this is mere guesswork, for no census
has over been taken.
THE costume of the people is simple
and graceful. The climate is warm Tot
hot like that of Singapore, but about

cotton, rs the taste or fortune of the
wearer may determine. Under the
penang they wear very curious pair of

handsomely embroidered, the Siamese
dudes, of whom there arc not few, pay
particular attention to this part of their
attire. But one upper garment is worn,

Us they piled tho oars. They were all
dressed in brilliant red. Tho cost. OF
this cremation alone ran up to 81, OO0,-,
600, While each invited guest received q
valuable present drawn on a number
marked on his ticket, somewhat after
the fashion OF our American lotteries.
while speaking of temples and cere-
monies may as well say that while l
have seen most of the grand architecture
OF the Old WorldT never saw anything
to compare with a temple in the Mcnam
Chopea River at Bangkok, built to honor
the spirits of the water. It is land
some spiral dome of purest white, with
two wings, which are crystal palaces.
The temple standing there in the pictur-
esque mother of waters is poem in
itself. The combination of handsome
architecture and striking natural scenery
was never surpassed.
The system of Jurisprudence in Siam
strikes one as crude. There are not
many lawyers, and while they go through
the form of trial and have judges, who
receive petty salaries, they seldom give
case the thorough ventilating it would
get IN an American court. There arc
some English and German lawyers there
WIFI, who are beginning to make money.
Their system of capturing criminals
works well, although it strikes one as
very unfair to innocent persons. When
criminal escapes his family is at once
arrested, put in chains and made to work
on the streets or elsewhere with the
chain gang until he is apprchendcd.
The criminal usually comes in and sur
renders himself rather than have his
wife, parents or sister tortured for his
misdced.
1.-THE Chinese are the upper business
class there. They keep the stores and
conduct the great business interests OF
Siam. The Siamese lower classes are
usually peddlers and boatmcn, and
they are in great measure slaves to
the Chinese. believe that the people
respect the Chinese and encourage them.
remember that young Siamcsc, a
relative of the King, who got his educa,
ton in London. asked permission to
start newspaper. He was allowed to
run it, and when he asked the King

An Equine Curiosity.

A genuine (hincsc horse has been dis
covered bya New York World reporter
IN small stable near Abingdon Square.
This curious animal Is the only one Of
its species in the United States, and has
certain pecularitics which make it an
interesting curiosity. This remark able
animal has the head, neck and body Of
a full.sized and rather large horse. His
legs, however, although corrcspondingly
stout and strong, arc very short and every
one OF them double jointed. His cont
is very sleek and black. The only spot
OF white upon him is u pretty diamond
upon his forehead. His tnil is long and
silky, but strange to say his main refuses
to grow longer than two inches. IIeo
it stops aud remains as coarse and stub
by as a scrubbing brush.
