RHAME & LESESNE, ATTORNEYS AT LAW, MvANNING, S. C. PARKER'S HAIR- BALSAM ODD TITNGS IN SIAM CURIOUS CUSTOMS AND CEREMONIES THAT ARE STILL OBSERVED. Cutting the Topknot of the Child For His Spiritual Welfare-The Wedding and Its Celerration-Gre mation With Refreshments. In Siam the cutting of the topknot is so important a ceremony for the future spiritual welfare of the eblld that it is most scrupulously carried out, with all the pomp and ceremony that the means of the parents will allow. That the poor people may not be deprived of the benefit of the ceremony the government provides all that is necessary for it at one of the .temples at Bangkok. The center of the ceremony is the cutting off of the topknot, which is all the hair children are permitted to wear up to that time. But assoclated with it are a number of purifications and other' reli gious forms which have to be scrupu lously .carried out. The topknot, which Is ordinarily adorned with a chaplet of I flowers or beads, often held in place with a jeweled pin of considerable val ue,. is now much more resplendently adorned, while the child is further load ed with the richest jewels the family can provide. After the ceremony the hair is allowed to grow all over the head and is usually worn about an inch long, standing up lre a brush. The child is now reckoned to have reached man's. estate,. although, to their credit be It said,, the Siamese are in no hurry to marry their children. In fact, undue haste to make a match for a daughter ;s apt to raise a question as to whether things are so flourishing with the fam ily as they might be. When marriage is thought of, it Is of ten the result of mutual affection and takes the form of an .elopement, with subsequent.forgiveness by the old.folk. The more formal way calls for a lot of negotiation. and the payment to the parents of "ka nom," which is often, however, returned to the daughter on the birth of her first child. The monks, who are the astrologers of the country among other accomplishments, are called upon to fix the lucky day, on the arrival of which the. bridegroom and bis friends go to the bride's house, car rying presents of cakes and betel. All Siamese chew betel, and not to offer it to a guest is a serious breach of hospi tality. The quids when ready for chew ing consist of leaves of the betel pep per, chips of areca nut-there is no such thing as betel nut that careless travelers write about-a little slaked lime and sometimes tobacco also. The Siamese word for this mixture is ap pronriately.. "muk." This will always be in evidence_.at weddings, and the preparation.. and presentation of. the be tel. tray to the .bridegroom constitute one. of the forms.of acceptance by the bride of his -authority over her. The monks will be' already in attendance, feasted with.the best. that ean be..pro vided, and the ceremony of marriage.ls performed by them with the sprinkng of consecrated water over the couple. . But the greatest ceremony of all takes place after death. If the person be of high rank, the body is placed in a a sitting posture in a large metal urn or among the commoners in an ordinary coffin. After being .krept a period that lengthens with the exaltation. of rank a day is fixed for the cremation. All the friends of the family are invited, and enormous sums are spent on enter taning tlemn and providing free shows for tlie general public. The guests will -enter the inclosure, while Chinese thea - trs, Sla.mese marionettes and plays I will be provided for all who care .to witness them. On entering one would be met 'by some member of the de eeas 's family bearing a black bag, uito which all are in'7ited in turn to dip a 1and. It is found to contain a num ber of .tiny balls, each of which.is hol low 'and contains a screw. of paper. A Sivnese figure on it refers to.a similar Egt..eon some article in one of the booths in the inclosure, and. the. guests are expected to present the number to the attendants and receive as a present whatever it represenits. There -may be a dinner, but anyway refreshments will be provided in abun dance Just at sunset the pyre will be ligited. A. stick of scented wood or a wreath of:.flowers ma~de of the per fumned sandalwood, as well as a candle of unbleached wax, is handed to. each guest, and lamps are lighted at the foot of. the steps of the pyre. Just as with usthose at the, graveside perform the ilast~office .for the dead In dropping a little. earth into. the grave, so iniam each .one lights his candle at. a lamp and places it under, the urn or coffin, to gether with-thes sented stick or wreath. Buddhist monks away .in one of the booths wUil be reciting sacred texts meanwhile, but nothing in the way of prayer, whether for the dead or the living, enters into the ceremony. Fireworks will be let off, including a very mournful one known to .the na tives as -the "roaring of elephants." It is made by shaving a thick bamboo very thin at one point and then making. a. slit The inside Is filled with compo sition and sealed, and this, when fired, exerts. great pressure.onl the slit, mak ing the .edges vibrate continuously,.so. producing, a series of ioud groans of a most doleful character. When the de ceased is of high rank,' the king: sends an aid-de-camp with a lamp lighted from one that is kept continually burn-, ing in the royal temple and whose light was originally obtained from a tree fired by lightning. After the cremation the ashes are collected and most of them thrown into the river, though cf-' ten-a few are placed in the temple in a wooden urn.-Mission Field. Extravagant. "There was .a. young man In Michi gan,.. said a United States senator, "who was deeply enamored of a beauti ful young lady In my town. He lived n Detroit and one day decided that the onything for him to do was to pro Pose. - So he went to the telegraph of fe and sent this message: "'Will you marry me? Twenty word answer paid for' "An hour later he received this reply. "'You are extravagant Why pay or nineteen words too manyv? No." e A Respect For F'igures. t- "What do you consider the most im L portant branch of education?" "Arithmetic," answered Mr. CumroL. "Qive a boy plenty of arithmetic. What blights the careers of so many young men is the failure to realize that you can't subtract a $5,000 expense account -from ~a $1,000) income." - Washington Star. _______ Helps. "Yes, he always announces himself as a patron of art." "In what way?" . . "He manufactures picture, cord." - Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Clear Course. "She says that he is a man after her own heart." "Then I suppose he will get it." THE CITY OF MEKINEZ. One of the Royal Residences of the Sultan of Morocco. There is no more interesting city in Morocco than Mekinez. Founded and built by Mulai Ismain, the tyrannical sultan who reigned 'through the middle of the eighteenth century, It still dis plays the extraordinary buildings which ,he caused to be erected, largely by the aid of Christian slaves. Today it is im possible even to guess the purposes for which many of these masses of mason ry were constructed. Walls of great thickhess, some wide enough to drive a carriage and pair along, are met with in the most unexpected places, running here. parallel, hera.+ right angles to one another, and seemings'ti2.niah built for no purpose except for the em ployment of the vast number of forced laborers that Mulal Ismain always kept at his court. Here and there are gate ways of great beauty, such as the dell cate tiled gate of "Mansur el-AIJ," with Its large marble columns and Corin .thian capitals, supporting buttress of gray stone and arabesques,.but on the whole It is rather the vastness of the buildings than any artistic value that Is remarkable. The old palaces of Mulai Ismain are in ruins today, and each sultan in his turn has erected new residences till the Imperial palace today consists of a collection of buildings of every shape and size, scattered among gardens in closed by. high walls. A tower, which was uncompleted at the time of the late sultan's death, remains today just as the workmen left It, with the scaffold ing still standing. Adjoining .he pal aee is a large park, In which are kept a: number of mares, ostriches and ga zelles. The city itself Is tolerably clean, and possesses no particular features that are not common to all Moorish towns. The entrance of the principal mosque Is striking, with great bronze doors said to have been brought by the Moors from Spain. The shops are compara tively few, and the trade never large. London Times. OUR FIRST FREE SCHOOL. It Was Established. In Massachusetts In the Year 1041. The first free school established in the United States was in the province of Massachusetts Bay In the year 1641 by order of the general colonial court. In 1647 the same authority declared that free schools should be established within every town having fifty honse holders under penalty of a fine of ?5. This fine was doubled by a declaration .made in 1671 and again doubled in 1683. . Connecticut established '-free %chools In 1644 and levied. a tax for their support. Maryland established free schools in 1G94 and levied a tax on negroes, pelts, furs and beef and pork for their support. Governor Berkeley declared in 1649 the hope that free schools would never be establishedin Virginia, but the towns of Charleston and Elizabeth did establish them -in that year, and Elizabeth set aside 200 acres of land and eight cows, -the.. in crease from which was applied:to sup port the schools. Four years. later the number of eows had increased to forty. Pennsylvania was settled by Penn on the Delaware river In 1681, .and the same year a free school, which is still conducted under the auspices of .the Frends, or.Quakers, was established In Philadelphia.. Among~ the. declara tions of .Pen~n in his "frame of govern ment" he asserted thIs immortal truth, long since forgotten by the men who have been responsible for the govern ment of .the commonwealth: "Any gov ernment is free to .the people unden t, whatever be :the frame, where the law rules, and the people are a. pairty .to those laws. .More than this is tyranny, oligachy and confusion." This sen tence Is inscribed in a bronze tablet im placed in the walls of Independence hall. A Demonstration of What Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy Can Do.

The Kind You Have Alwas Bought Bears the inature of THE BURTON GHOT. It Scared the Intrepid Explorer and Killed Ifis Dog. Where was there a braver man. I wonder, than Sir Richard Burton? Once, though, his face paled and his breath came in gusts. A ghost did it, of course, and this was the manner of it: Burton was told of a house in London, i quite a poor sort of house, by the way, which was said to be haunted. "I do not believe it," replied Burton. Then he was told that it was a specially terri ble kind of ghost, and he said-he didn't believe that either. He would go and. see. To the empty house (the three last tenants had been found dead in 'bed, and such things get talked about) went *th a friend and a dog. "Come up with me, "se he to his friend, and at his own requ companion locked Burton in the room anthe key down with him. ."I shall be right here; I've got my dog, too," the great traveler whispered confidently. "However, if I ring, get ready to come up, and should I ring twice-well, come quickly." The friend waited as he was bid. Min utes. passed like hours. His eyes vere glued on the bell hanging motionless. A long wait. Full of foreboding, he. was on the point of breaking the conditions. and going up to prospect, whdn the bell did ring. And, before he had. tackled the. first flight of sta!rs it pealed out again and- Up- those stairs he rushed, two and.three steps at a time, you may be sure. To open the door was -the work of an instant, and then into his; Lrms reeled Burton, almost dea.d with terror. ..."The..place is . accursed,". he gasped. ''What have you.seen.?" begged the friend. . Burton's head shook. ."N'c, no," he cried. "My poor dog's dead. I'm almost palsied with fright -M:ore a than that, no,.no, I cannot tell.You!" Now, this is quite true, and the house was . immediately afterward pulled down. . What did Burton .see? No one: knows. He. is. dead now, poor. fellow, and no one ever. will. .The three -tenants' could tell us,~but terror and death came together to them.-London Tatler. ANCIENT MARINERS. Queer Beliefs. They Held About the Unexplored .Ocean. The landlocked Mediterranean, which was the only .sea known to the Romans and Greeks of twenty odd centuries ago, was filled with mysterious terrors, while the more distant lands bordering on., It were the abodes of ,wondem and strange .peoples. - Gods of. monstrous shapes ruled the.-waters, enchantng sirens dwelt on the islets and rocks, and on.the..dry land beyond were.to-be found weird. enchantresses,: fire breath ing beasts,.flerce pygmies. and: dreadful 3 cannibals. Adventurous voyagers- who t got. as..far as the .pillars .of .Hercules, t now called. the strait of Gibraltar, .brought back intelligencethat thagreat.I ocean beyond was not navigable,. It was .part of the mighty river whih flowed around the flat earth in anuhi ending stream. Tradition says that there was in those times at Gibraltar a stone pillar 100 cen bits high, with a brass statue on It and an inscription stating this-to be the him-1 it of navigation. Beyond was a "seasiof darkness," infested with terrors beydd the power of the Imagination to con ceive. Occasionally a bold navigator did, nevertheless, venture outside into the Atla'ntic, but was compelled to turn back very quickly. A wil~ind would arise and threaten to swamp the vessel, or, more alarming-still, a gigantic hanid, supposed to be that of Sata, woald emerge from the-ocean of eternal gloom and warn back the mariners. Not merely on these accounts was the ocean~ impracticable for ships. It was reported to be so dense with salt ness and so crowded with seaweeds and. huge beasts that headway couianot be made through it Even up to'thiothne of Columbus such beliefs prey&iled, and his crews were terrified on enterig the Saragossa sea by the weeds and calms. Takcen at His Word. When- dealing .with biack servants in India, it is necessary to be very careful in the wording of one's histructions, for they are sometimes takeni very literally. A missionary voyaging an a river boat with primitive accomrmodation was compelled to use.a b-ket as a vassh bowl. One morunn is boy servant was bringing the bucket to hi' master when he spilled some of. over the-lat ter's feet "Why don't yu throw it all over me?" said the missic"ary irri tably. "Aha!" exclaimed the ioy arid promptly tlid so. Older Still. Major Pond, the lecture manager, was negotiating with .John K~ndrick Bangs for the latter's tami on "ThE Ev olution of the Humorist." The majer made some inquiries as to the scope-of the lecturs and Bangs replied that 'it began with Adam and Eve and came down to the present day. "Can't you give 'em something older than that?"- the manager asked joking ly. The funny man reflected for a mo ment and then said, "I might work in some of your jokes If you think the an dience will stand it." Opprobrious.
