a QUEENS Bath.
How the Queer Royal Custom Is Observed
In Madaeascar,

In Madagascar.
Since the great African island has
lately caused great deal of talk il
will not be uninteresting, says London
Tid-Bits, to give some account of the
strange ceremony practiced at the
Malagasy national festival every year,
as related by nearly all the travellers
who have visited the land Of the Hovas.
The ''Fandroana," or royal bath, was
first instituted by King Ratambo, and
is held annually, by royal proclama-
ton, from November % to January 10.
During this time no business is allowed
to proceed. The people of the king
dom meet the queen in the silver
palace on the first day of the festival,
and a red cock is then brought by the
head priest or sacrifcer of the court.
ITS neck is wrung, and its blood, being
caught in banana leaf, is carried TO
the sovereign, who touches with it her
forehead, neck, stomach, armpit,
finger nails and toe nails. The rest OF
the assembly follow the example.
Next day the people assemble again
for the royal bath in the great palace.
This the queen takes in one of the
sacred corners of the hall, in silver
bath, being screened from view by
''lambag," held by her attendants.
Amid the firing Of cannon and the
joyous shouts of her humble subjects,
her majesty then passes along the
balcony, and from horn in her hand
sprinlSles the crowd with the water
she has just been using for her
ablutions, exclaiming at the same
time: ''Masina, aho!" Il am purified.
This sprinlling is said to typify an
abundance of rain during the coming
year.
To be absent from the ceremony
would be to incur the royal displeasure,
so that the French plenipotentiary
minister himself, M. lie Myre de Vilers,
who is now again on his way to NADIA
gascar, had to submit himself, in 1886,
to this strange ordeal. Every wife,
also, must be with her husband at the
time, or it is considered that she is as
good as divorced. The new year is
then supposed to have begun, and for
several weeks there is great deal Of
visiting and feasting.

PuNIsHMENTs OF CRIMINALS.
Penalties for Transgressing tho Law in n

Penalties for Transgressing tho Law in y
French Prison.
Crimes of serious nature committed
viously referred to the ordinary
tribunals, says the Contemporary Re-
view, but disciplinary offenses are
dealt with each morning in court
room by the governor, assisted by the
inspector, the schoolmaster and the
chief warder. The punishments in
fiicted are-frst, reprimands; second,
deprivation of use of canteen; third,
punishment cell, with ordinary food;
fourth, punishment cell, with bread
and water, each fourth day being the
ordinary food; fifth, deprivation of Wis
its-this, however, is rarely inflicted;
sixth, deprivation of correspondence,
when the prisoner has attempted to
misuse it; seventh, fines; eighth, re-
duction of scale Of proportion of earn
ings, and. ninth, discipline room.
This latter punishment, which may
be inflicted for two or more days, not
exceeding fifteen, consists of prisoners
passing the day from five a. m. to seven
p. M, alternately, sitting for fifteen
minutes, and walking for twenty min
utes, being allowed neither to read,
to speak nor to work. The food is
bread and water, with soup once per
day. On the occasion of my visit there
were thirteen men sitting about one
yard apart from each other, in rows,
on square stools built of stone, with a
wooden top.
The punishment cells do not appear
to be such formidable affairs, having a
wooden bed fixed to the floor, bedding
being supplied at night. The floors
are of polished wood. BY an ingenious
arrangement. the amount of light to
be admitted into the cell can be regu-
lated at will from the corridor with
out. Incorrigibles, whom it is found
impossible to employ in the work
shops, owing to their turbulence and
persistent breaches of discipline, work
in their cells. This sequestration may
be carried on for any period up to
ninety days, and gives no claim to the
reduction of the original sentence.
