BURMESE WATER FEAST.
Frolicsome Behavior Of Men aud Wom'
on New learx- Dar.

Froltcsome Behavior OF Men aud Women
on New Years DAy.
The Siamese are so near the equator
that they have about tie same hot
weather the year round Every man.
woman and child in Bangkok takes a
plunge into the river at least three
times day. OF the 700. O0e people in
the city at least 500. 600 live in floating
houses. and inasmuch as the summer
costume Of the lower classes consists Of
= garment about the size OF a Turkish
/ towel. il is not much trouble for them
to go in bathing. They bathe on the
steps Of their houses and stand up to
the waist in the water, granting delight
tedly A. they pour bucketful after
buckstful over themselves and their
neighbors. The Burmese man and wO-
man take bath every night after din
ner. This bath is merely pouring water
over the person Soap is never used
and particular care is taken not to wet
the hair.
At New Years, when the weather is
as hot as our summer, these people
have what they call water feast and
at this time tho whole nation throws
water upon one another. All the pretty
girls 60 out with buckets. and the boys
have squirt guns. and for three days
there is nothing but water-splashing.
Tho foreigners Of RangOOn also en-
gagged in this. and the Chinese celebrate
the feast with the rest One Chinaman
rigged up hydrant with a two-inch
pipe during the last feast, and as his
house was on the main street. he had
the bulge, as it were, on every one else.
He engaged = co0lie to work the ma
chine all day, and, as be was selling
water works, he had a good advertise
meht in addition to his fun
A swell Engiishman arrived in Bur
man last year during this feast He
went to cali on one Of the leading men
of RangOOn in tall silk hat and black
clothes and was met at the door by
girl with 4 bucket of water. The girl
asked him in Burmese whether he was
observing the water feast and be, sup
posing that she wanted to know whether
be had come 70 see her father, nodded
his head. and with that nod this whole
bucket Of water went over his silk hat
and down the back of his collar, COM
pletely drenching him.
During the same time another party
of Englishmen were told that some girls
were coming TO throw water on them.
They had the servants bring out the
bath-tub and put il on the verandah. and
when the girls came they got possession
Of the bath-tub and splashed the En-
glishmen until one Of them. rushing in,
seized one Of the maidens and, lifting
her up. dropped her into the tub This
was considered very impOliie, and the
young man who did it suffered BY re-
ce living no further attention from the
