Some British Notes Upon This Compare
lively Unknown Region.
A Parliamentary paper issued during
the past week contains report by Mr..
Carries, of the British Consulate at Seul,
of journey made by him at the close
of last year through northern Corea.
The journey lasted about six weeks, and
appears to have extended over about
5000 Il. Among the points noticeable
in this excellent report. we observe thai
in Corea, as in less degree in Japan.
there is great disproportion between
the number of males and females, the
former being more numerous. In the
large towns this is ascribed to the i'm.
mense stats attached to the officials
but in the villages there is no CORES
ponding balance in favor of females,
and it is probable that an explanation
which accounts for the disproporton by
a greater number of deaths among girls
in infancy is correct, for there
was no evidence of female infant
icide. Corea has been said to be
land of large hats, but this does not
tell everything. One would hardly
expect the following dimensions from
this statement alone. At Phyoung
Yang, a large and historical town neal
the west coast, Mr.. Carries records that
the hats worn by the poor women are
baskets three and half feet long, two
and half feet wide, and two and hall
feet deep, which conceal their faces as
effectually as the white cloak worn by
women of a better class over their heads.
The men wear basket of the same
shape, but somewhat smaller. 1t, how.
ever, requires the use of both hands to
keep it in place. A structure of size
but little larger, which is used to cover
fishing-boats. suggests to the traveller
that the women's hats should be con.
verted into coracles. Literature is
honored in Corea as in other Eastern
countries, but the monument erected
over the graves of the doctors of letters
are at least unique. 1t consists of the
trunk Of tree painted like BARRIERS
pole, some thirty feet up. The top and
branches are cut of, and on the summit
rests carved figure of slim proportions,
twenty feet long, and with forked tail
in imitation of Corean dragon. From
the head, which resembles that of an
alligator, depend cords on which brass
bells and wooden fish are strung. The
total absence in even the most ancient
and historical provincial towns of any
remains of art and culture, leads Mr..
Carries to think that perhaps the Cores
of olden days differed but little from
that of the present time and that her
early civilization has been greatly over
rated Mature.

the profits of his calling are of course

BEFORE PENS.
The Instrument Used for Writing Before
These Were Invented.

These Were Invented.
The chisel was employed for inscrib-
ing on stone, wood or metal. 1t was
SO sharpened as to suit the material
operated upon, and was dexterously
handled by all early artists. The style,
a shar pointed instrument of metal,
ivory. or bone, was used for writing on
wax tablets. The style was insult
able for holding fluid. hence a
species of reed was employed fol-
writing on parchments. These styles
and reeds were carefully kept in cases,
and the writers had sponge. knife,
and pumice stone, compasses for meas
uring, scissors for cutting, puncheon
to point out the beginning and the end
of each line, a rule to draw and divide
the lines into columns, glass contain
ing sand, and another with writing
fluid. These were the chief implements
used for centuries to register facts and
events. Reeds continued to be used
till the eighth century, though quilts
were known in the middle of the
seventh. The earliest author who uses
the word penna for writing-pen is
Isidorus, who lived in that century, and
toward the end of it Latin
sonnet ITO a PEN was written
by an Anglo-Saxon. But though
quilts were known at this period, they
came into general use very slowly, for
IN 144S present of bundle of quilts
was sent from Venice by monk with
q letter in which he says: ''Show this
bundle to Brother Nicholas, that he
may choose n quill" Tho only other
material to which wc refer is ink. the
composition and colors of which were
various. The black was made of burnt
ivory and liquor of the cuttle-fish. We
are not prepared to say what other in.
gradients were used or how it was
manufactured, but these ancient manu-
scripts prove that the ink was of a su-
perior description. Red, purpless silver
and gold inks were also used. Theered
was made from vermilion and carmine,
the purple from murcx, and the manu-
facture Of these. especially with gold
and silver varieties, was an extensive
and lucrative business. - ChuNs6sss'
