A Hard Case.
From Leslie,s Weekly

Only the other day the Kansas Volunteers got
under a fire so heavy that, after spreading out
in line of skirmishers, the order was given to
lie down. One unfortunate soldier Topped square
ly into an ant-hill. Thousands of the little pets
swarmed angrily him, biting with the Pc
culiar penetration Of Filipino ants. In second
the soldier jumped up, swearing and almost
screaming with the pain.
''Lie down, my man. shouted his captain
'Blankety blank, captain, ] can't" protested
the poor fellow.
Just then a sheet of Muser bullets few past
him, at all heights from HIS shins to his head,
1t was marvellous that the standing soldier was
not hit in a dozen places But he changed his
mind swiftly about the possibility OF lying down,
Down he went, regardless of ants, shouting to his
commander:
.'Yes, can, captain! By the holy smoke; yes,
| can, siri'
And he remained down until the order came to
rise.

According TO a lecture on SIAM delivered re-
Gently in London by John Bartlett. that country
has more than its share Of priests The popula-
tion of Siam, he said. amounted to about 6,O0O,-
600, and curious feature was the large pre-
ponderance OF Chinese, more especially in Bang
kok. The Chinese practically controlled all the
trade and commerce of the place. There were
hardly any Siamese merchants. One million OF
the people were in the priesthood. He had trav-
eed up-river through the main territory OF Siam
for a distance of $50 miles, and during the Jour
ney it had been absolutely impossible to get out
of sight of a temple. In each temple there were
from 10 to 800 priests, supported entirely By
the people. OF the 1.000,0O0 priests only 800 900
were actually engaged. The remaining 100000
were passing through the priesthood Siam was
a great stronghold OF Buddhism. but the King
was very tolerant of other religions. Unfortu-
nately the Si2mese manifested a great lack Of
interest in the commerce of their country. The
Sismese government put but little restriction on
trade and an ordinary foreigner could come and
go all over the kingdom without a passport.
The greater part OF the trade in Bangkok-at
least so per cent of twas brought there by
ships flying the British flag. As far as the I'M

The Queens Conservatism.

that one may mention with regard to
repairs and renovation Of the castle
rooms that all innovations are strictly
curtains or new carpets be required for
a room, there IS a fixed set of patterns,
and each article must be duplicate
Of that which it replaces. On no ac-
count may the entire renovation of a
room be undertaken all at once. 1t must
be done piece by piece in her Majesty's
absence, so that it never loses its look
Of LONELINESS. There Is a wellworn
bat perfectly true arecdote current at
Windsor with regard to the Queens
objection to smartness. On one occa-
SION, during the absence of her Majes-
ty. some ratings in view of her private
apartments required repainting, and 1t
occurred to the responsible official that
a somewhat brighter tone and gilded
tops might improve their appearance.
he work was duly done; the Queen
.turned; an hour or so afterward an
order was issued to return the ratings
to their original color before the Queen
came down In the morning. Dozens OF
painters had to start to work at
o'clock a. m. to obiterate the objection

Old Beliefs Revived,

The colored people of Chattanooga,
Tenn. and vicinity have inaugnrated
the ancient voodoo dance and the en-
tire negro community has gone wild
ON the subject. They congregatc,l
from us far as Alabama and Nlissis-
sippi to participate in the weird exer-
cise and worship. The city is full OF
excited colored people, drawn there by
the news which has gone forth. The
other night several hundred of the me-
groes danced to the accom- anmem of
tom-toms and other like instruments.
The applicants for membership in
the band take their seats in the mid
die OF dark room. There they wait
until vision is seen and they immed-
lately arise and relate it. If the dream
Is horrible enough and suits the look
ets-on the negro is admitted into fel.
lowship and at once begins his dance
with the others. The voodoo Worship
has assumed such alarming proper
tions that the attention of local off
GERS OF the law has been called to it,.
and stop will probably be put to it
before another dance takes place.
