THE S!AMESE.

They Are Lovers of H2ltiays and of All
the Vices That AccoInpstny a Lazy Life.
To European eye.the good looks, if
they anywhere exist, of both Siamese
men and women are irremediably de-
stroyed by The universal use of the be-
tel. which blacl1ens and corrodes the
teeth and causes them to protrude,
which renders the spittOon all indispen-
sable article of furniture, and is re-
sponsible for the great Splashes of
red saliva that may be seen every
where adjoining the ground. as they
have been elected from the mouths of
the passers-by. Like their fellows in
Anam, the Siamese women enjoy great
freedom and influence.
Being of most mercantile and man
aging temperament, they become the
self-constitutcd stewarjcsscs, treas
urerS and huclisters of the home, or
shop, or store. They may be seen by
the hundred going to market, each
seated alone in her own canoe with
her wares spread out before her. The
last king kept body guard of ANA
IONS. with red coats and trousers and
small carbines; but the present sover-
eign has converted them into species
Of interior palace police. The national
character is docile, indolent, light
hearted, gay.
The Siamese are devoted to the holt
day making and ceremonies and pro-
cessions which accompany the most
important anniversaries or incidents
of life, death and religion, and which
cause an infinite amount of money to
be squandered and time lost. They
love games-kite-fiying sort of shut
tlecock football, and fighting with
cocks, criclets, beetles and fish; though
it is to be surInised that the main at
traction of these pursuits consists IN
the scope thereby afforded for betting
and gambling, which are the cardinal
national vices.
4 Siamese will stake money on any
thing; licensed gambling houses exist
in the cities and are a large source of
income to the government, which
farms out the monopoly. A royal lot
terry is extensively patronized in Bang
kok. The gambling houses and the
pawnshops, which are their corcl,arv
and which are stocked with objects
pawncd or stolen, are a disgrace to the
capital In some streets every other
house is 4 pawnshop, kept by China
man. If suppression Of these places
were foUnd difficult, at least great
reduction in their numbers might be
made. while a substantial revenue
would accrue TO the crown by the i'm
position upon them of heavy tax

pie of the pansy's leaf and the yellow
and black of the tiger lily. There are
dainty sprigged muslins, which to our
great-grandmother eyes would have
been ''cloathes moste faire to see,'' not
now in panniered loops and founces
and short skirts caught high above the
ankle, but in full folds trailing the
ground. There is even touch of
autumn in the scene. For here is a
bodice of green over which falls a
simmer of glistening lace and silver
ornament, like the fine spider webs
spun from clover stalks, whose dew
jewels glisten ere the low sun has dis
PEELED the chill of August mornings.
And here again, the most vivid note of
all, is the flaming red of the cardinal
flower which then will thrust up it's
pretty head by the brookside.
All Here at last is the discordant
note-a garment all in black: black
skirts crinolined in the mode of to-
day, wide black shoulders ruff1ed stiff1y
standing out as far above as does the
skirt hem below, all edged with mar
row rim of white. 1t is the weed Sor-
row in the garden Delight. No flower

up bonnets to the birds that hover

sprays. You shall see the blue of the
jay, the gray and white of the dove,
the high crest of the kingfsher: and
strange tropic plumage that speaks
of the bread fruit islands and the seas
where no winter is.

day NAV he. the lock" must take his
medicine. After this comes a steam
bath and another rub down. A good
hit of flesh disappears with each and
every one of these sweatings. Gener-
ally sherry flip is then given the
Jockey to prevent weakness and
another slim meal follows. In the
afternoon il is the same thing over
arain-more sweating and more starry

All this time the jockey is kept away
from his horses. He is not allowed to
mount them in exercise until he gets
to the proper weight. Six weeks of
this kind of life brings the man down
10 something like the weight lie should
ride ct. Then comes the tur-of-war to
keep at that weight. The jockey is
reduced to mass of bones. sinew and
muscle. and has not particle of fat
upon his frame. 1t Is here that the
grand tussle comes with the fellows

When 10. in my fury l seemed to feel

Gov. Stone Evolves Message on
the Subject.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. 23.-Goy.
Stone sent a special message to both
houses of the legislature which is>con-
sidered the most important document
issued from the executive office for
many years. The message was sug-
gested by Imprisonment at Kansas City
of the county judges of St. Claire
county for contempt OF the United
States district court in refusing to issue
a special tax levy to pay bonds issued
twenty-five years ago III aid OF a pro-
posed railroad that was never built.
Gov. Stones message declares that
the Imprisonment of the judges for re-
fusing to levy taxes not authorized by
the laws of the state was subverslon
of state power and all usurpati0n of
power by the federal judiciary. The
state courts had held that the county
court had no power to issue the levy
under Missouri laws. and the federal
court imprisoned the judges of the
county court for declining to do that
which the state laws forbade. The
message defines the lines between fed
eral and state government, and says the
assembly ought to take such action as
NAV sustain the outraged dignity of the
state and protect the state from embar-
rassment in the future. The message
suggests that the legislature memorial
ize congress to so limit the powers OF
the federal court as to forbid them to
compel state officers to perform any act
! forbidden by the laws Of the state.

The coming parasol is a very elabor-

some of the new designs look not unlike

parasols i'll silk or muslin are threat
ened, and artificial flowers to match the
design are punched on top with ribbon
Of the same shade. Black parasols are
heavily trimmed with jet and either
black or white lace insertion let into the
heavier material. Parasols made to
match the gown will be a pretty feature
of the spring costumes. They are to be
trimmed with three widely separated,
narrow silk tlounces. like an 1880 skirt.
Few women really appreciate the ad-

which, to most people, is, SO unbecom'

it can be made charming background
