SLAMS Crown PRINCE.
Description of the Most Interesting Event
in His Career.


in His Career.
His Royal Highness Somditch Phra
Orc sad hiruj Chowfa Maha VajiruL.his,
heir to the throne of Siam, was born in
1877. He is very bright and interest
ing boy. The king takes great pains
with his education, so that he may well
fill the high position he is to occupy.
His majesty is very fond of his chill
dren, and on public occasions is fire.
quently seen accompanied by the
crown prince and others of the little
princes.
BY ancient custom in Siam, q lock of
hair of every young child is allowed to
grow long on the top of the head, and
is kept coiled up. The wealthy often
fasten it with jeweled pins, and the
head is adorned by circlets of white
flowers, projecting above which is seen
the little jet-black topknot of hair.
When girls reach the age of about
eleven, and boys are from twelve to
fourteen years old, this topknot is cut
off, and afterward the hair is worn
short by both men and women.
The cutting off of this topllnot is the
occasion OF a Joyous festival, and is
made an interesting era in child-life.
In January, 1891, there was observed
at Bangkok a very interesting old
Siamese custom called the "Sol<an," or
hair-cutting ceremony, celebrated in
honor of the crown prince. 1t was at
tended with some very novel perform
anceS.
Propitious days are sought for, and
priests are invited to assist. to involve
blessings upon the children, and to
avert misfortunes and evils.
Relatives and friends assemble and
make valuable and useful presents,
which are kept until the time comes
for the children to take the RESPONSE
bilities of life upon themselves. No
one is specially invited, but it is re-
garded as a mark of respect and good
will to be present and make some gift
as pleasant souvenir of the occasion.
When the time came for his royal
highness, the crown prince, to lay aside
the ways of childhood and become
little man, and, in sign of this dig

nifty, to have his topknot cut off, there
was a great stir among all the classes
throughout the kingdom, and extern
sive preparations were made to cele-
brate the event at the royal palace.
The palace and edifices within the
extensive walled inclosure are of
Samese architecture, which has dis
tinct features, and differs from both
Chinese and Japanese styles. Notice
able are the peculiar triple roofs COW
cred with colored tiles. and decorated
with golden spurs at the roof-pOints.
Graceful spires, white stone, colored
marbles and gilded elephants at the
palace entrance, make an attractive
and brilliant picture, especially at
night, when they are Illuminated with
colored lanterns and electric Jets. In
producing effects by means of light,
shade and color the Siamese are very
skillful. and show excellent taste.
On this occasion an artificial noun
tain ornamented with silver and gold,
about hundred feet high, was so con-
structed that it could be assembled by
winding steps to the summit. 1t was
adorned with little trees, flowers,
animals and other novel decorations,
representing miniature the four quar-
tiers of the globe.
In grotto in this mountain the
prince went to battle before his top
knot was cut off. Brahminical re-
ligious services were held; the water
was consecrated. Then. at the auspici-
Gus moment, as ascertained by the
astologers and Brahmins, the great
and important wax taper was lighted,
parched and unparched corn was scat
tered. and banners waved to receive
the prince. His majesty the king, ele-
gantly dressed and wearing his high
est decoration-that of the White ele,
phant-was present, and directed the
proceedings. - Hon. Isaac Townsend
Smith. in st. Nicholas.

it is expressly prohibited by the koran.
But what would your fakir (priest)

"Oh. we have already consulted him."

WHY lie Made n Hit,

Even the greatest of men may be
mistaken when they undertake to cx.
plain the cause of certain undeniable
facts "Nevcr in my life" said Dean
Stanley to his wife after sermon in

impress the congregation. Every eye
was fixed on me from beginning to

to be lost by inattention." NO won.

Here a sudden exclamation FROM
Pussy interrupted him.
"Oh, uncle" she said, what funny
idea of you to bring me this"
The general raised his head in sur
prise. Funny" was the last word he
expected to hear applied to his present.
Don't you like it?" he asked, with
out looking around.
well, it was very kind OF you"
laughed Pussy, 'but really, uncle,
should never have imagined-Now
what put such notion into your
head?"
Sir Peppery was getting vexed, and
no wonder, at such a reception for his
sixty pounds.
81 shouldn't think you getmany such
presents" he remarked in tone of
sarcasm.
81 never got one as present, GER
tainly, but have several. They come
with every dress, you know"
At this mendacious observation the
general turned his head, and then saw
that his niece was holding in her hand
an article we'll known to ladies and
their maids as-dress improvers.
He burst out laughing. No wonder
she had taken such an offering coolly.

something very pretty inside"
Pussy's eyes danced. She made a
dive into the bag, while the general
watched for the delight which would
expand over her face when she would
see the glittering jewel.
Pussy did give an exclamation when
she opened the parcel, and it was one
of delight but it was rather subdue1
little cry. 30, dear me!' she said.
"Well, l thought it would pleae

the carpet and coming to where. lis
