The Curious TonsOridi Celebration
LLItich I'LL Males Must Undergo

The tonsorial celebration is a fea-
ture of every males life. The hair is
shaver at infancy, and tuft allowed
to grow on top of the head until the
boy reaches the age of II or Is years,
when the tuft is cut off. This consti-
tutes' the tonsorial ceremony. The
head is considered very sacred, and
no one must touch it, nor must il be
raised above that of superior when
in boat or in a carriage The tonso-
rial ceremony is attended with elab-
crate teasting, and the central figure
IS made the recipient of gorgeous
gifts, including fans, jewels and other
tokens of esteem.
White is the mourning color for the
royal family, but Europeans are ex-
pected to wear the habitual black. At
the cremation of the late Crown Prince
in 1902. the Kings throne erected for
the occasion was draped in scarlet and
yellow, on which sat the royal family,
clothed in white. Across from this
a stand had been made for the Euro
peans, and was draped in black and
white, and all Europeans were COM
PEELED either to wear black or remain
away.
Some iudIcrous attires were seen.
since many of these New World peo-
pie had not returned to their country
Tor years. One Englishman possessed
nothing but pair of tight, short blacl,
trousers and a heavy black overcoat,
and, although the day was warm, he
thus heroically presented himself.
Europeans have introduced numer-
Gus industries in Siam, among them
being the well-known American hand
laundry. As all the people, excepting
| royalty and such mobiles as can afford
| other attire, wear white cotton gar
ments, the laundries have plenty to
do.
Taking their cue from the progress
siveness of Chulalongkorn, their King,
the rich and blooded Siamese are try
ing hard TO combine Occidental and
Oriental ideas. Their dress is made
up of portions of the native costume
and European waists, coats, shoes and
stockings; and their means of getting
about from place TO place are coolies
and carriages of English and Ameri-
can manufacture. Many OF their
houses are furnished with chairs and
tables familiar TO the New World resi-
dent, and they are using American
dishes as novelties.

occupy important positions in the
Government. Although she has not
publicly adopted the attire of the wo-
men from the New World. she often
wears waists modelled on the familiar
American lines, and both she and the
King are frequently seen in shoes and
stockings bearing the true Partisan
stamp. Loved by her subjects, not
alone for her charitable deeds, but as
much for her graciousness as well,
Phra Nahng Boromaraj Dewee is a
familiar figure at the festivals in her
scarlet silk robes.
The approachable spirit of the King
and the favorite Queen is shown by
their attendance at fete commemora-
tive of the opening of public garden,
at which they auctioned off goods at
one of the booths.
The Europeans present, with the
crowds of natives, heard the outriders
crying, Make way for the King!" A
European carriage drawn by four
horses, with caparisons of scarlet and
gold, drew up, guarded by attendants.
The King and Queen, both in native
costume, were surrounded by their
mobiles and taken TO the booth which
was to be honored by their presence
The Queen, with the short-cropped
hair that all OF the women wear, and
her face wreathed in smiles, was clad
in scarlet. This color, with yellow,
occupies a prominent part in decora-
tons for royalty and the priesthood.
She insisted on making her own
sales, much TO the delight of her peo-
pie, and showed her graciousness by
keeping the smaller change for the
fund.
She is charmingly devoid of any
of that arrogance and hostility TO New
World ideas that is usually found in
one of her rank in isolated countries.
There have been English governesses
in the palace TO instruct both the
children and the wives. The King is
remarkably affable and not reluctant
TO adopt European customs, but he Is
| held back by his prime minister.
These royal personages take an &C
tive part in the numerous festivals and
ceremonies of the country. The more
important are the seedsowing cere-
mony, which institutes the season at
which the seeds may be planted, and
not until then; the sowing ceremony,
| the visiting of Buddhs footprint, and
| the noted tonsorial ceremony.

face is covered with wrinkles, and she
was frowning terribly Ny dear, as

fish lazily swimming in huge glass
and gilded fountains, the 'betel-chew-
ing beauties of the harem of the King
of Siam are still leading the quiet and
unruffled lives that their predecessors
lived FIVE hundred years before them.
And this despite the fact that the
spirit of modernity is making itself
strongly evident throughout the length
and breadth of the fowery kingdom
of Chulalongkorn.
They are the forbidden ladies'" or
Nang-hams, destined, many of them
from youth, to be the royal concu-
bines, and trained and educated for
that purpose. Such petty duties as
watching those under them or acting
as servants TO those above them in
favor are often assigned them in order
TO keep them from absolute idleness.
The Nang-hams are inferior to the
queens, four of whom are allowed the
King by law, and their children can
not claim any share in the Govern
ment of the country. The King is
allowed an unlimited number of these
lozenge-shape faced, black-lipped wo-
men, but despite the extravaganza
permitted him in his marital relations,
he cannot do his own wooing, for all
that he is King.
When he sees or hears of a beauti-
ful girl who arouses his interest, he
sends messenger TO beg to be allow
ed TO conduct her to the royal palace
that she may be schooled and trained
and then installed as a Vaughan.
Often parents, thinking it would be a
social advancement as we'll as a pow
crful alliance to have the King for a
son-in-law, themselves offer their
handsomest daughter for this purpose.
This is the usual way in which the
King is supplied with these fesh-and-
blood gifts. Lords and mobiles also
present their daughters when quite
young for conciliatory reasons. The
present monarch, however, has given
only a small minority of these for
hidden ladies" any preferment He
usually makes them maids of honor,
and gives them the privilege of leav-
ing the palace whenever they wish.
The Queen must be selected from
the highest rank that can be found in
Siam She is not certain of her pro-
motion as queen until she has lived
with the King and gained his favor.
If she is so fortunate as to arouse his
passing fancy, he appoints day for

Ample Pie Order.

To feel in apple pie order is a phrase
which dates back to Puritan times-to
q certain Hepzibah Merton. 1t seems
that every Saturday she was accus-
toned to bake two or three dozen ap-
pie pies, which were to last her family
through the coming week. These she
placed carefully on her pantry shelves,
labeled for each day Of the week, so
that Tuesdays pies might not be con-
fused with Thursdays nor those pre-
sumably large or intended for washing
and sweeping days eaten when house
hold labors were lighter. Aunt Hep
zibah's apple pie order was known
throughout the entire settlement and
originated the we'll known saying.

GRANTS RETREAT.
The General Went When a Police.
ell. r.ni-t...a


mans Club Pointed the Way.
Speaking of nightstieks reminds me
Of seeing General Grant in his to my
mind greatest hour, the only time be
was ever beaten, and by a policeman.
1 told his son, Fred Grant, Of 1t when
he became a police commissioner in the
nineties, but l do not think he appre-
ciated it. He was not cast in his great
fathers mold. The occasion refer TO
was after the generals second term in
the presidency. He was staying at the
Fifth Avenue hotel, when one morning
the Masonic temple was burned. The
fire line was drawn half way down the
block toward Fifth avenue, but the po-
lice were much hampered by the crowd
and were out Of patience when l, stand
ing by, saw a man In a great ulster
with head buried deep In the collar,
cigar sticking straight out, coming
down the street from the hotel. l
recognized him at sight as General
Grant. The policeman who blocked
his way did not. He grabbed him by
the collar, swung him about and, hit
ting him n resounding whack across
the back with his club, yelled out:
whats the matter with you? Don't
you see the fire lines? Chase yourself
out of here and be quick about it,"
The general never said 4 word. lie
did not stop to argue the matter. BE
had run up against 4 sentinel and when
stopped went the other way. That was
all The man had a right to be there;
he had none. l was never so much an
admirer of Grant as since that day. 1t
was true greatness. \ smaller man
would have made row, stood upon his
dignity and demanded the punishment
of the policeman. AS for him, there
was probably never so badly frighten-
ed q policeman when l told him whom
he had dubbed. l will warrant he did
not sleep for a week, fearing all kinds
Of things. No need Of it. Grant prob
ably never gave him a thought.-Jacob

POPULAR SCIENCE.

Mercury's year is only IS days, that
of Venus 225 days and Of Mars 6S7
days.
Cumulus, or thunder clouds, rarely
rise over two miles. Seven miles Is
the outside height for any cloud.
The edge of the moon is so broken
by peaks, ridges and valleys that the
length Of totality during a solar eclipse
is affected by them.
The suns heat raises from the earth
100000 tons Of water a minute. To
do the same work arti1cially n cube Of
coal 200 miles deep, wide and high
would have to be burned every second.
The archaic, wasteful beehive" oven
process of making charcoal has been
superseded in many parts Of Germany
by modern methods which save all the
ammonia, gas, tar and other products
Of the wood.
A human body contains some of the
small things of nature. The blood, for
example, IS n colorless liquid in which

drop Of 1t contains about n million Of
the globules, and they are susceptible
