ThIis curious country, ail glitter and tinir- land horrible odors, is a veritable curjo mong nations. Thorigh caricatured in coi opera -and alluded to in commercial anrts, as a sort of second edition of China, diamr in lreality a sure-enniagsempire, wits eývery elemeut, of indepondont existence but money and an aggressive ruier. It is ne toy community. Bangkok, its apital ani motropolia, is a city of 800,000 people. Part of it floats, as many thon- ands of its bouses are bujît on boats an- bhored in the River Meua.. To the oye of tise touriat Bangkok, which is Si am condousod, presents a picture of filth, indolence and priests. Thore are nore priests to thse square incin l Bangkeok, than in any other city lu thse world. In fact, the priesthnod is a sort of cumpualsory ser- vice, just as seldiering is' in Gormany. To uarried menî ii offers certain advautagos that are aven more alluring than Dakota's divorce laws. As there is a strict ordinance agaiinst the marriago of priesta a benodiet -though the instantaneous workings of an autoniatie logislation-ceases to be mar- rîed tie moment lie takes bis orders as a disciple of Buddha. it la doue with neat- ss aud dispatch. And as thse priesthood' is nt a perpatual bond, a disciple cau re- nonce hia caling, resigu, as it were, at the end nf a year or so, and resume bis gc- Zinaintance wjth Lis spouse whenever hie pleases, without auy more ceremony tisan attended his first transformation.
