"A competent authority might compile a
very useful little volume to be called "A

There is no prospect that it would be found
in the lists of 'best-selling books but it

A copy should be given to the foreigner
who insists on translating into his native
tongue the lines of the piece as they are de-
livered by the actors. Another nuisance is
the man who has had just enough with his
dinner to inspire him with the hospitable
aim of taking his share in the dialogue on
the stage. The young lady who has already
pating every situation by announcing it to
her escort and the immediate neighbors
should also be favored with a COPY. The
man who has been going to the theater
since his nursing days and who knows all
about actors and acting, frequently makes
himself obnoxious by flow of audible COM

Park Lions Play Foot Ball.
From the New York Sun.


Visitors to the lion house in the Central
Park menagerie have noticed that Dewey
and Manila, the two-year-oid lions, have
developed a great fondress for foot ball,
and Director Smith has given each of them
a wooden ball to play with. The two oc-
cupy adjoining cages, and when they get
warmed up in the sport they make more
noise than is to be heard in an east side
bowling alley, and apparently they get more
fun cut of it than the players in a Harvard
Yale foot ball game. AS soon as one starts
rolling the ball the other one jumps up In
its cage and does likewise. Dewey, the
lion. gives the ball whack with his right
paw and the ball strikes the side of the
cage with a great bang and bounds back,
when he tries to catch it. He has great
muscular power and the force of his kick
ing would make a foot ball player envious
AT times he will catch the ball in his paws
and roll on the floor with it as though other
players were piling upon him to get it from
him. The piayfulness of the two animals
is very unusual Director Smith says. for
lions of their age.

lady carries a betel box and it is only cour-
teous to offer your neighbor a chew When
man is married one of his presents to the
bride is a betel outfit and 1 am told that
babies are sometimes given betel before
they are Weaned. The chewing is said to
take away hunger and fatigue. The habit
once acquired is seldom given up, and I
see women chewing who are so old that
they have to pound the nuts to a powder
in order that they may masticate them
with their toothlesS gums. l can imagine
no more disgusting sight than one of these
leathery old hags chewing the betel and
eXpectorating, as it We're, blood in puddles
The chewing is done by young women also
and those of all classes. During a visit to

Ihere are now about dozen newspapers

two dailies In English. two dailies in Chi

in Tamil.

Railroads in SIAM
At present considerable railroad building
is going on in Siam. The king there is
very enterprising, and he is SLOWLY but
surely pushing railroads to the northward.
He has just finished one 165 miles long to
Korat, and will have another hundred-mile
road completed this year. 1 have recentIv

of which were shipped there from, the

Bangkok is rapidly growing 1t is said
to have in the neighborhood Of 500 600 peo-

the products of at least 100000 people. It
has good hotels, large banks and importing

grab 1t. AT the same time the Germans
are slowly, but surely, working their way
into Its business and any attempt Of the
other powers to take possession OF 1t will
be resented by them. About two years ago

Malay Villages.
1 have visited some of their villages The
ordinary houses are thatched huts about
fifteen feet square, The walls are of rude
boards or of bamboo and a thatch of palm
leaves. Many of the houses have but one
room, the people eating and sleeping where
the cooking is done. The kitchen furniture
Is an iron pan and q cecoanut 1adle with
perhaps pot for soups and steWS. The bed
is mat spread on the floor and the family
squat on their heels or sprawl at full
length when resting.
The dress of the poorer classes is as mean
as their houses. They wear a sort Of a
bag-lik skirt sarong much like that
used in Java. Some of the men have lack

women usually wear jackets and sarongs
