amese custom, he went into noyiti-
ate for the priesthood for two days.
In 1873 he was again crowned, and
here, seated upon his magnificent
throne, he released his courtiers from
the time-honored custom of appearing
in their sovereign's presence on hands
and knees. This was the beginning of
his doing away with many rigid and
ridiculous court rules. Formerly the
king was regarded as a sort of semi
divine being He dressed as no one
else did and he used words which no
one else was allowed to utter. King
Chulalongkorn attires himself in or
binary dress and knows how to make
himself generally agreeable. He is
unusually studious and progressive,
and has during his reign introduced a
privy council a cabinet, and a legisla-
tive council There is noticeable lack
of dogmatism in all his decisions.
To insure the greatest degree of
welfare for his people the king is con-
tinually sending his officials on inves-
tigating excursions, and if in the
course of their travels they find any
hints which may be of advantage to
Siam, he heartily cooperates in any
feasible project. Not only is he edu-
eating his sons abroad, but he is main

terprising enough to attempt fur

THE NEW ARMY RIFLE.
Fighter Than the German or Mnuser
Musketx, Bnt Has Far Greater
Penetration.

Gen. william Crozier, chief Of the
bureau Of ordnance, in his annual re-
port to the secretary Of war says
the improved musket has been COM
pleted and tried with very satisfac-
tory results, the various changes not
only improving the weapon, but cheap
ening and acceIerating the production.
Tie rod bayonet is feature Of the
new rife. Its advantage is said to
lie IN the fact that it lightens the
weight Of the gun and dispenses with
the bayonet and bayonet scabbard
now in use. and in the place II which

New York, and on the 9th Of October,
1875, the former directed the latter to
proceed to make such Notifications as
it should deem best. In pursuance of
these directions. says the Four-Track
News, a number of forts were erected
at various points In March following,
it was determined to erect strong
fort at West Point, and under direc-
ton Of Kosciusko, the famous Pole,
Fort Clinton was built. TO further
defend Fort Clinton and command the
river, a strong fort was erected on
Mount Independence and called Fort
Putnam in honor of Gen. Israel Put
nam, commander of the post After
the revolution the old fort was al
most destroyed by people in the
neighborhood using the material for
building purposes, but in 1924, the gov
eminent bought the land on which it
stood, and the picturesque ruins of the
old fort remain to this day, as one of
the most attractive spots about West

HIS DIGNITY INJURED.
The Awful "Ronst" Given Reporter
by the Lady He Sought to
Interview.

A reporter on one of the local
daily papers is small of stature and
looks and behaves like a very young
boy. One night recently he was sent
to Everett on an assignment by the
night city editor, relates the Boston
Herald. He called at a house and asked
for the lady he wished to interview. It
was after nine o'clock, and the cur
few had warned all children from the
streets on penalty of being arrested
and locked up.
The questions the reporter asked
the lady were impertinent but inn
portant. She gazed at the innocent
looking child" before her a moment,
and then said: Little one, you are
not reporter. You are an imposter
whom some idle, malicious gossip has
sent here to worry me. You ought
to be in your bed. Now run along
home or you Will get arrested and
locked in "A cold dungeon; for re-
member the curfew has rung, and all
little boys must be in bed, nicely
tucked in, before the curfew rings.
So run along like good little child"
The reporter choked down his
wrath and went his way. But his
dignity had been assailed, and he
gave vent to his feelings later when
he related his experience to his chief
Now he is devotiug all his energy to
growing a mustache.

This is not the first venture Of
this kind in which the princess has

gagged in real estate speculation. Sc
cured a plot near Copenhagen, which
she cut up into building lots, with

villas, which she rented to wealthy
people. She is interested in the de-

NEW Triple FOR WOMEN.
Tastes Like the odor of
the Flowers.

Many women at the east have taken
OF late to a new tipple imported from
Holland and called Oil Of roses, re-
ports an eastern exchange. 1t is a
cordial in name only. It is none Of
the sticky, sirupy components Of the
other insipid cordials, but has a PEE
culiar, almost biting taste that appeals
to the feminine palate. This cordial
is favored with bride roses and is the
invention Of a firm in Amsterdam
that was organized in 1875. A bushel
of selected roses are crushed into a
press and the essence is extracted by
a complicated system. This distllla-
ton is enliyened with alcohol and
other spirits, but naturally the flavor
Of roses is responsible for the increas-
ing popularity Of the drink. The corr
dial tastes like Il rose smells. The
color is pale pink and as the distilla-
tion of "huile de roses" requires an
enormous amount Of roses and great
care, this is the most expensive cordial
on the market \ mere tablespoonful
for 25 cents. The firm in Amsterdam
exports this liquor in genuine Delft
jugs that the purchaser retains, and
the average woman derives much
pleasure taking home the tiny jug
from which she has quaffed the de-
lightful cordial.
1t may be said of this new tipple,
however, that il induces inebriety
just as quickly as q whisky toddy,
cocktail or "sour," and the resultant
headaches are inst as distressing.

meet the demands So great is the
rush of industrial and agricultural
products to the railroads, that the
roads are not equal to the task of

several months ago, and they had been
unable to locate him, though searching
everywhere. Only when they read in
