King Sidudy is a tall, spare young man of about 3o, as brown as a bench-out, with high akoek-bones, close-cropped black hair, à care- fully-trained moustache, sed soft, caresɔlog voice.

"Ato there ever any revolts in your king dom?" asked the "Mo.ning Leader" repre- tentative.",
The King smiled. "My ist oders are as peaceful as my islands," ha replied. "We have balcyon days and dreamless tights at home. The laws that my father, the late King, mads, are comfortable laws, and never lay heavily unto the shɔ̃niders of the people; and now that I am King, I do not intend that they ever shail,"

A thoroughly Irish explanation of the origin of the custom is quoted, to the effect that it was in cos,equence of the teetotal movement of Faber Mathew | It was considered allowable | to take ether, although not whisky.
