was these and silver belt. He was
about 4 years old. and he was smok-
ing Il cigarette. There were lots of
pretty Siamese girls, many of whom
wire silk waist cloths, and through
the crowd came number of Siamese
debtors with chains about their legs,
They We're going to work. and they
We're not allowed to take part in the
festivities. The celebration took place
in great court near the city market
of Bangkok. We waited about three
hours before we heard the procession
Then a noise arose like that of
thousand dogs with tin cans tied to
their tails rafting over the stoniest Of
streets, and a moment later we saw
about 1000 naked legs carrying 1000
balf-naked Siamese. who carried ban
ners and escorted a wrinkled old
prince and their king. This old king
was as black as the ace of spades and
his under jaw was no thicker than
your finger. He was dressed in gold
and silver clothing and he had crown
on his head that locked like pyra-
mid of ice cream. The people cheered
him as he came up, and he stopped in
front of our party and wagged his thin
lower jaw at the governor; saying
something that could not understand.
Right near here there was great
swing fastened to beam across two
poles about 100 feet high. From the
top of this beam the ropes holding the
swing were hung. and on the board at
its foot four naked Siamese stood. A
purse Of money was tied to long
bamboo fishing pole and fastened to
one of. the uprishts. SO that the money
hung about thirty feet out from the
swing. The pole was so bent that the
bag Of money hung uuivering from the
topmost point, far out to the side Of
tie swingers. The feat was for them
to get the money while the swing

UP and down upon the swing until

Of the funniest customs is that the
children have of bathing their grand
mothers on New Years. The. ugliest
looking old women of the world are
the Siamese. The maidens are plump
and bright-eyed. They are short, sell
dom over five feet in Lcight, b1rt they
are straight and we'll formed. They
wear nothing but a strip of cotton
yards long, which they wind about
their hips and fasten by pulling the
ends through between the legs and
tucking them into the belt at the back.
This is the dress of the common wom-
en-, and it is only the better classes
who have anything about the should
ers, the bust and the neck. In such
costume Il r!,1mp girl looks well, but a
scrawny, wriukled old woman looks
horrible. The Siamese women cut
their hair short. 1t Grows coarser as
they grow older and it stands up like
Il shoe brush all ever their heads.
These grandmothers have hristles
about an inch long. They all chew
the betel nut. and long before they
have grandchildren their teeth are
black! and their lips are cracked and
stained. They squat around the house
on their launches doing little but
smoking cigarettes and chewing betel
nuts, and they vary the putting out
the smoke with the splitting out betel
juice.
The celebration Of New Years Day
is sanctioned by the Buddhists, and
the Siamese believe that the souls of
those Buddhists who have gone to
purgatery come back to earth on that
day. The people pour water out on
the ground in celebration of this, and
they always 90 to the temples and
visit the shrines. Every idol in the
kingdom is bathed with perfumed wa
ter and incense is burned by the cord.
They lay flowers upon the idols and
they weave yarlands and put them in
to Buddha's hand. The children play
tricks upon one another much the same
as we do OH Halloween or April /.
They black cacl: others faces and
push each other into the river. They
havea water celebration much the
same as in Burmah, and the king has
Il reception of his officers much the
same as has our president.
Slams Mock King.
Speaking Of the king, Siam has an
other queer holiday, during which the
king nominally gives his power over
to mock king, and the whole of Siam
takes part in the celebration. The
governor Of the province sent me an
invitation to it while was in Bang
kok, and l watched the proceedings
in company with an Austrian prince
who was visiting Siam at that time.
There We're thousands on the streets,
and the rich Siamese as well as the
poor were out. There were lots of
royal babies, who We're dressed in

Hanging Pictures.

Colored pictures should not be hung
n Railways or OH staircases unless there
is plenty OF light for them. In such
places strong photographs. engrlvings

best.
A picture should not be hung from
one nail; the diagonal lines formed by
the cord have Il very diScordant effect.
Two nails and two vertical cords, or,
what is far more safe. pieces of wire
cortlage, should be used instead Of the
single cord.
Picture cords should be rs near the
color of the wall upon which they are
put as possible. When one picture is
hung beneath another, the bottom one
should be hung from the one above.
and not from the top; thus we avoid

Nearly the Entire Population Found

vices from its correspondent. James
Creelman. who w.s with the Japanese

Van CoUvGr, Dec. ID:
The struggle TO: the emancipation
of Corea has been suddenly turned
into headlong savage war of con-
quest. 1t is no longer Il conflict be.
tween civilization and barbarisn:.
Japan for the last four days has
trampled civilizations under the feet
OF her conqucring army. The taking
Of Port Arthur md the possession Of
one Of the most powerful strongholds
in the world was too great a strain
upon the Japanese character which
reiapscd in Il few hours back into the
british state from which it was
awakened IL generation ago.
Almost the entire population found
In Port Arthur has been massacred,
and tn" work Of butthering the un-
armed and unresisting inhabitants
has been continued. The streets arc
choked up with mutilated corpses. In
spite of the vastness of the battlefield
and the strength of the batteries
massed in this mighty chain of land
and sea forts the taking of Port Ar
thur is robbed of it's dignity as bat
tie by the fact that a large and we'll
trained army attacked mere rabble.
There was a great deal of artillery
thunder and scientific maneuvering Of
the troops among the cannon-crowned
hills. but the infantry fighting was in
cidental and the butchers BILL" as
the hardened carnpaigner would call
it. was insignificant. The Japanese
lost about fifty dead and go wound
ed in c:irryins fortress that would
have cost them 10000 mel had it

conclusively that the man was at

while at work OH the drainage canal

were stationed in the front and rear
of the lodging house, No. POI Henne-

stopping for the past ten days. No
one was permitted to leave or enter
the building. DR.. Kelly visited the
quarters yesterday and vaccinated all
the inmates, thirty-four dodgers. The

also. DR.. Kelly stated that there was
no danger Of an epidemic.
