Must Wear a handkerchief.

London. April S.-The King of Siam
has issued a decree to the effect that
no children who are entirely naked
will henceforth be allowed to play in
the streets of Bangkok, and that every
person over the age of ten must be
clothed from the knee to the neck. 1t
is also made Il rule that all persons
entering the palace must wear socks.
Noncompliance with this order will
be punished by fine.
Some SiameSe children cover their
nakedness with a silver medal about
the size of Il half crown, which is tied
around the body by string. and
which is a moot point with local jur-
lists whether this constitutes dress
within the meaning of the decree. II
is not generally known. by the by
that these silver coins are used in
order TO show that the child's parents
are able to buy it a dress if they like,
and that it goes naked not from poy-
erty but from choice.

Washington, April 4. president Nc.
Kinley, being extremely desirous that
as far as possible the soldiers who
have fallen in the Philippines be
buried in the United States, has
caused the War Department to cable
Gen. Otis, instructing him to take the
necessary measures to embalm and
otherwise prepare the bodies for
transport.
General Otis cabled yesterday that
it would be impossible to send the
bodies home now. The climatic con.
ditions are such as to make it danger
Gus to the health of the people who
would handle the bodies. He was of
the opinion that six months later the
remains of the dead could be returned
to the United States.
Instructions have accordingly been
sent to General Otis. directing him to
mark not only the graves of the fal-
len, but to see that each coffin is care
fully marked in order that there may
be no doubt as to the identity of the
home.
