MaFFyIng an Anamese 0lrl-An
1nhappy Discovery.

e
llnhappy Discovery.
| DIR. Hocquard. who recently returned
| TO France. after residence of over two
/ years in Tonquin. tells about the Ana
! mese bride of French officer stationed
at Namdinh. The doctor visited the
| officer at his home in the big town.
and there met very pretty native
girl about eighteen years old, who
wore robe of violet silk and Inore
rings on her fingers than western bellies
regard as in good taste.
you sea, have married an Ana
mese," said the officer, laughing.
THAT is, have bought her from her
parents for 45 francs. Ihey signed a
contract before the notables of their
| village, in which they rellnquish all
their rights over their daughter. I
can do with her as please, but must
treat her well. If choose may re-
/ turn her to her parents, and they must
receive her again. 1t is very easy
sort of divorce. She cannot leave me
without my permission, and if she runs
away from me her father is responsible
and must return to ne the money /
| paid for her. That is the Anamese
law"
THAT seems to be very practical
and economical arrangement" re-
marked the dostor.
Not so much as you think" re-
piled the officer. Il give Ii San-for
haf q hoxs n nj
for her wardrobe. to say nothing of
the presents l make her from time TO
| time and the disagreeable surprises to
which she treats me now and then.
The other day. for instance, Ii San
blossomed out in a beautiful robe of
brocaded silk that l had given her.
Then, with one of her friends, she left
the house for a promenade, and while
/ strolling around the town she saw
/ party playing cards in a gambling
house.
Like all her people, ii San is
passionately fond of gambling. Moth
ing could tempt her to pass that
house. and so in she went, seated her.
self at a table, and was soon absorbed
in the game. There she sat until she
had lost all her money, her jewels and.
finally, the clothing she wore, and
! when she returned to me the next
i morning she was arrayed in lot of
rags that had been given her out of
j charity.
That is not all. The contract /
made with her parents provides that
! must feed her well. That clause
seems to include her entire kindred.
She had been with me only two days
when her family-and you know fami-
lies are not small in this country
swooped down upon us and installed
themselves in a house near mine.
Every time I enter my kitchen I find
my cook preparing rice for all those
ravenous persons. l offer them a
thousand insults. but they never vince,
and nothing will induce them to bulge
from my premises until they have had
a good, square meal. You see marry
ing an Anamese girl has its decided
disadvantages"

A JAPANESE IRVING.
A Favorite Actor aud o Typical

The japanese are an essentially social

agriculture, they seldom appear content
to lounge away their leisure. but want to

From the main entrance to the stage
runs a ganSwaN, somewhat elevated
above the floor. This is called the fow-
