HAREM.

The French Protectoate of Annam is in a ferment because its emperor has resolved to marry a white woman. The ferment appears to have been provokod, according to Paris despatches, by his own courtiers, whose grievance is that Khai-Dinh, by marrying a white, would have to adopt monogamy, and in that case his Annamite wives would have to be shared cut among his courtiers.

That is what bas caused all the trouble. The cost of living has risen, even in Annam. The courtiers say they cannot afford any

The identity of the new object of En- peror Khai-Diab's affections has not yet been revealed. One of his predecessors, Prince Han Nghi, married Mme. Laloo, daughter of a French official. The mar riage, at least ut its outset, appeared happy. The marital record of Ham Nghi's suc cesser to the Throne of a Thousand Elephants," however, contains some en- tries which should be sufficient to deter the

courageous Caucasian "from marrying into the family. Tanb-Tai, for that was his name, had a short way with wives. He tied, thirty of them to posts, and shot them from his palace wizdow with bow and arrows. Be ordered ua- other to be killed and cooked, and when this was done forced his courtiers to eat her. Tanh-Tai, however, was deposed by France in 1907, and the present occupant of the throne is a ruler of a very different kind. He will visit France shortly, and will leave the Crown Prince, Vinh-Thuy, at a French university. He is described as enlightened and a good sportsman. His fair-skinned fanere can doubtless afford to disregard an anthority like the Encyclopaedia Britannien," which states that the Annamites are "the worst built and ugliest of all Indo-Chinese who be long to the Mongolian race

The corporate exist ence of the R.N.R.. may be said to date from 1864, in which year it received the distinctive blue ensign, the award of which incidentally led to an important change in fleet organization.
