A King's Dreadful Deed.
Not long ago there was terrible ex-
citement at the royal court of An-
nam. The King, Thanh-Tai, who is
gow 14 years old, was missing! Et
quette requires that the Annamese
King shall vever leave the royal
grounds. He is a kingly prisoner.
And that the King should not only
ve absent from the pa ace, but that
no one should know where he was,
constituted an event of such direful
consequence that the whole court
was in dismay,
But the young potentate was not
hard to find. Though he was a king,
be was a boy; and it is natural for a
boy, when he has some money in his
pocket, to want to go out and
spend it.
That was exactly what the King of
Annam had done. Entirely alone,
he had started on a “shopping” expe-
dition through the streets of Hue.
Of course no one knew him, because
he had never shown his face in pub
lie. He was simply a boy, like any
he wanted.
But he was treated with great re

attempt to experiment with it on the
heads of several small street boys
who were proving rebellious subjects,
when the courtiers approached him,
prostratiog themselves upon the
ground and making alarmed outcries.
Thanh-Tai was restored to the
palace, but the aged regents of the
kingdom at once sent in thelr resig-
nations. They could no longer serve
a mona:ch who had so disgraced him-
self. It was with the utmost dif-
culty that M. de Lanessan, the

* Iam ready to testify under oath

Subject: “Week-Day Religion.’
Text: “In all thy ways acknowledge Him.”
Proverbs iil, 6.
There has been a tendency in all lands and
ages to set apart certain days, places and oo
easions for especial religious servies, and to
think that they formed the realm in which re.
ligion was chiefly tonot. Now. while holy
days and holy places have their use, they can
never be a substitute for continuous exercise
of faith and prayer,
