How SALT FISH S lOULD Pc

in the habit of freshening mackerel
or other salt fish, never dream that
there is right and wrong way to do
1t. Any person who has seen the
process of evaporation going on at
the salt works, knows that the salt
falls to the bottom. Just so it is iptha
pan where your mackeral Or white.
fish lies soaking and, as it lies with
the skin side down, the salt will fall
to the skin and there remain, when
if placed with the flesh side down
the salt falls 70 the bottom OF the pan
and the fish comes out freshened as
it should be. In the other case. it is
nearly as salt as when put in. Il

Mr.. Gri1is who is favorably known as the au-
thor of The Mikados Empire" has not enjoyed
the same advantages in the preparation OF this as
of his former work lie has never been in COrea,
and he calls the book nothing more than a CON-
pilation. 1t is compilation, however. from ma
terials in great part inaccessible to the general
student, for the list Of authorities cited with
acknowledgment in the photographed table
shows that Mr.. Grilis has made liberal use of
japanese works on Ccrean history, which appear
10 be numerous and important. Thus in the his
torical portions of his book, comprising nearly
two-thiids of the whole, our author has collected
a vast amount of detailed information such as a
mere traveller would never have acquired. For
the political and social condition of COrea at the
present day he has frequent recourse TO French
missionary records; and he has been aided by pub
llcations in the press of Japan, well by COM
munications from officials and from personal &C
ouaintances. Now that I" the hermit nation has
at last been induced 10 break through the time
bonored policy of isolation, this compendium of what
is known about her has special interest {" The
pivot of the future history of Eastern Asia," says
Mr.. Grifis, is Corea On her soil will be decided
the problem Of supremacy by the jealous rivals,
China Japan and Russia. The sudden assumption
of selfimposed tutelary duties by China proves her
lively interest in the little country, which has been
called both her right arm of defence and her
gloved hand the one to force back the ravenOus
Muscovite, the other to warn of the ambitious Jap
snesc."
The authors sketch of COrean character and
habits is somewhat Indistinct Upon the whole il
IA not unpleasant. though IL must be admitted that
the people are very dirty very fond OF strong drink
and less cultivated than their neighbors either of
