When a young woman reaches a cer- tain age in some parts of Siam it Is gen. orally agreed that she Is old enough to be married; and If she isn't married why, then it's time that something should be done about it. The young woman Is therefore put in a priviledged class, under the special care and protec- ton of the king, who is bound, by law and custom, to find her the necessary husband The Hing, however, does not compell any of his male subjects to en- ter into matrimony. His method is simp- Ter. Any man imprisoned in any of tho Siamese jails may gain his liberty Dy marrying one of the young women for whom the kindly Siamese monarch is seeking a husband, and, as the Siamese are allowed more than one wife, the fact that the prisoner may be already married is not a serious complication. The custom however, is evidently not universal ths oughout the kingdom; oth- erwise the jalls might easily become de- populated unless 1t is equally true that very few Siamese maidens are ever in danger of becoming old maids,

colony founded in Germany early in the
 eighteenth century. Persecution drove
 the devotees to this country about 1840.
 and they settled near Buffalo. Finding
 that the world was intruding too much
 on their simple life, they went far west,
 as it was considered then, to Iowa. Here
 two thousand souls composed the popula-
 tion of the seven villages owned by the
 society and spread over twenty-six thou sand acres of farm land.
 The Amana Society is purely re- ligous one The members accept the ord-
 mary Christian beliefs. practice the cus-
 toms of primitive Christians and be-
 lieve in the continuity of inspiration.
 Marriage is permitted but not unduly en- couraged in the very young. an age limit being placed for betrothal. which can be followed by marriage in not less than one year.
 The chief occupations are agriculture and the manufacture of woolens and cali co, and for these goods the community
 has an enviable reputation. Work is found for every one. and the children and the aged are not permitted to labor be- yond their strength or years. Education is compulsory and holidays are rare. the children spending at work the hours not passed in study.
 Among these quiet people, where no l more work is attempted than can be cas- fly accomplished, where every one can have work, and where every one does work, strikes are unknown.
 The Amana houses have the appear ance of those seen now in Germany, and the neatness of each little place, with the
 garden brilliant with flowers, shows the
 German blood and training of the in- habitants. Each family has it's own gar den, and whatever the needs have been supplied. At the common store. cer- tain amount Is credited for each family. varying according to the need, size and position of the family.

Of all the various signs that are hung out in our city to notify the wayfarer that here is conducted this that or the other business, one of the very oldest is the combination of three gilded balls that denotes pawnbroking. The sign goes back to the earliest days of banking in England and was first used by the Lom- bard merchants, whose name still sur wives in Lombard street, London and whose dealings became so notoriously prejudicial to their clients that they were finally expelled from the country by Queen Elizabeth. The Lombard money dealers were sent to England by Pope Gregory TX for the pious purpose of lending money to persons who couldn pay the taxes that the church then col lected throughout the Kingdom; and the sign of the three balls came into imme- diate use as the insignia of money lend- irg.
 The thrte balls are said to be the sym
 The three balls are said to be the sym that the good saint once upon time came to the rescue of three maldens who were too poor to marry by presenting each of them with a purse of gold. The nurses of the olden time were small bags, tied at the top with strings, and when full of coins their shape naturally became more or less globular-hence the three gilded balls that still denote the residence Of the person who is nowadays familiarity spoken of as Uncle"
 Although piracy on the high seas seems to most of us very much a matter of an- cient history, pirates are still following their calling in Chinese waters and hon est vessels that come in touch with them occasionally have tales to tell that would do honor to the imagination of a writer of fiction.
 Not long ago a tramp steamer left New York for a Chinese port, carrying among other things, valuable shipment of bullion and several discarded engines that had once seen service on the New York Elevated railway and were on their way to become part of the rolling stock of a small Chinese railroad. The captain of the tramp steamer bearing this mis- cellaneous cargo was already familiar with the peculiar dangers of Chinese nav igation Wishing to be on the safe side he had a railroad track laid complete ly around the deck of his vessel, and on this track, as seun as the dangerous ter rItorv had been reache.. he mounted lis engines, already painted yellow and adorned with red dragons for the delight of their Chinese owners. The prepara- tions were not useless, for the steamer, so sa:s the s;niy. was actually attacked by the expected pirates, and they in turn 0 ere neatly and promptly repulsed by a volley of hot steam from the boilers of the assembled locomotives. Such at least is the tale told in a recent number of an English weekly, which omits to mention' however, just in what manner the Chinese pirates managed to board nov ing steamship.

Despite the fact that France is said annually to consume enough cigarettes to reach in a straight line five times around the world. the pipe smokers are still In the majority, with the cigar smokers a good second. The total num- Der of smokers in France has recently been stated at 6.0OOoo0, and of this num- Der 3.2000O0 prefer the pipe, 2O0O,OoO the cigar, and S00,0OO the cigarette. This does not mean. of course, that the pipe smokers don't occasionally smoke cigars snd cigarettes and total consumption of S00,OO0000 cigarettes a year would sug' gest that the occasions are not altogeth- CT infrequent.
