The Bow was Generous. Too.

The late Prof. Blackie, of Edinburgh,
was a wiry-framed old patriarch, with
long hair that fell in ringlets about his
shoulders. One day he was accosted on
the street by very dirty bootblack, who
cried: Shine your boots. siri' The
urchin was very importunate. and the
professor finally said: Il don't want a
shine; but if you will go and wash YOUR
face l will give you a siXDence.' The
boy went off very readily, and made his

King Chulalongkorn's full name is
Somdetch Phra Paramindr Haha. He
was born September 81, 1853, and is the
eldest son of the late King Mahomong-
kut and of Queen Ramphu. He sue
ceeded to the throne on the death of
his father, who died from fever as the
result of exposure while making a sci
entific observation of the eclipse of the
sun, October 1, 1868. His reign has,
therefore, been of nearly 20 years dura-
tion. His kingdom is not as large as it
was when he first took possession there
Of, for in 1891 he was forced to turn over
to France three entire provinces COM
prising in the aggregate 1000 square
miles. The cession was not formally
sanctioned until September, 1898. At
the present time this king is the ruler of
100000 people and his power extends
over 100000 square miles of land.
The kings father was the most en-
lightened of all the Siamese monarchs
since the foundation of the recent
dynasty. Chulalongkorn has introduced
a number of reforms, particularly in re-
cent years. The department of educa-
ton of the government is, so far as the
actual performance of the duties there
of is concerned, practically in the hands
of the Europeans. Following the ex-
ample of Japan and China the king has
caused number of young Siamese to
be sent to England, Germany and
France, TO study the arts, technical
trades and the leading professions.
Owing to the limited knowlege of
the United States possessed by the king
he has never made an effort to cause the
requirement of civilization by any of
his subjects by means of a residence
here.
Her majesty, Siraponsophon, who, it
is said, accompanies the king, is his Sec
ond wife. She has three children, but
the crown prince is Somdetch Chowfa
Maha Vijirunhis, the son of the kings
first wife. The royal succession is nom
inally hereditary, but does not always
descend from the father 10 the eldest
son, each sovereign being vested with
the privilege of nominating his own sue
cesor. Chulalongkorn has taken advan-
tage of this fact.

HIS MAJESTY OF SIAM.
He viii Visit the United States in

nasty 20 Leave the Confines of
His Asiatic Realm.

1t is definitely settled that Chulalong-
korn l., king of Siam, will visit the
United States. He is expected to reach
here in September from England. 1t is
reported that her majesty Sfraponso-
phon, queen of Siam, accompanies her
husband, but for some unknown reason
the actual truth of the matter is left in
doubt.
The visit of the king to the United
States is likely to be of great social and
commercial import, although the social
feature will of course be of a tenn
porary nature. The king will be lion
lied in New York much after the fash
ion of the reception given to Ii Hung
Chang, only this time it will be mon
arch both de facto and de jure instead of
q power behind the throne. 1t is long
time since real king has visited the
United States, and as he will come to us
with the honors of Europe thick upon
him he will, of course, be an object of
the most distinguished consideration.
The king has heard much of the
United States as a commercial nation
and his express object in coming here
is to learn the truth for himself. He
will investigate Cur manufacturing in
dustries, our coal mines, our steel in
dustry-for this latter purpose making
special trip to Pittsburgh-and will
also find out the reason for our suprem-
acy in agriculture. He will first set
foot upon the United States in New
York, where his present itinerary calls
for stay of eight days. Then he will
go to Washington and see all the sights
that remain. From here he will go by
special train to Pittsburgh, at which
place he expects to remain two days.
The king will then return to Washing
ton for few hours, going from there
to Philadelphia. From Philadelphia he
will proceed to Boston, then to Chicago,
and may stop at Cleveland and Cincin-
natl en- route. 1t is possible that from
this point he will also go to Atlanta, Ga,
and thence to New Orleans. 1t may

ABYSSINIAN CONDITIONS.
The Country Needs Secured and
Lasting Peace.

IaStlnB FedCes
The last Mohammedan aggression
against Abyssinia took place in 1876,
when $500 Egyptian troops attempt
ed, without previous declaration OF
war, to overrun the province of Tigre
in order to bring Abyssinia into sub
lection to the Egyptian state. Prof
Reinisch was at the time on a jour
ney to Abyssinia, and witnessed the
patriotic spirit which inspired the
people. On the self-same day thai
the Egyptian troops began to lane
at Massowah, swift messengers car
ried the news thence into the interior
From hill to hill blazed the far-seen
beacon fires, and war cries rang
throughout the provinces of the king
dom. On the following day the cen
tiers of population already resembled
military camps. Priests and monks
were everywhere preaching holy
war for the defense of the cross and
the Fatherland. Without military
summons or recruiting of volunteers
all the able-bodied men of their own
accord got ready their guns, swords
and lances. Women and slaves
looked to the supply of provisions,
and within week 10000 we'll
equipped men turned OUT from the
province of Hamasen alone to occupy
the mountain pass toward Tigre, be-
fore the Egyptian troops had left
Massowah. The outcome of the war,
so fatal to Egypt, is well known. 1t
gave the immediate impulse to the
events which finally led to the occu-
patton of Egypt by Great Britain.
AS regards the probable destina-
ton of Abyssina, Prof. Reinisch gave
it as his opinion that-at least within
a measurable time-it will certainly
not share the fate of the Egyptians.
They have been for centuries a nation
of slaves, the Abyssinians a race of
freeman. The conquest of the coun-
try by a nation capable of bearing
the great expense necessary is, of
course, possible, but it may be safely
said that it is much lighter task to
conquer Abyssinia than to govern it
afterward. For, in spite of the fer
tility of certain provinces, it is to-
day a poor country, having been ex-
hausted by its wars To bring back
its prosperity the blessings of Sc
cured and lasting peace are urgently
needed. -Geographical journal.

A Curious Marriage Custom.

In Brittany there is said to prevail
a curious marriage custom. On GER
tain fete days the young ladies appear
in red petticoats, with white or yell
low borders around them. The num-
Der of borders denotes the portion the
father is willing to give his daughter.
Each white band denotes silver-100
francs per annum; each yellow band
represents gold, 900 francs year.
