Some British Notes Upon This Compare.
lively Unknown Region.
A Parliamentary paper issued during
the past week contains a report by MIR.
Carries, of the British Consulate at Seul
of a 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 Ii. Among the points noticeable
in this excellent report. we observe that
in Corea, Is in a less degree in Japan,
there is a great d%isproportion 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 disproportion by
a greater number of deaths among girls
in infancy is correct, for there
was no evidence of female infant
ic;de. Corea has been said to be
a 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 near
the west coast, MI. Carries records that
the hats worn by the poor women are
baskets three and a half feet long, two
and a half feet wide, and two and a half
feet deep, which conceal their faces as
effectually as the white cloak worn by
women of a better class over their heads.
The men yea a 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 a size
but little larger, which is used to cover
fishing-boats, suggests to the traveller
that the women's hats should be con-
verified 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 a tree painted like a BARRIERS
pole, some thirty feet up. The top and
branches are cut off, and on the summit
rests a carved figure of slim proportions,
twenty feet long, and with a forked tail
in imitation of a Corean dragon. From
the head, which resembles that of an
alligator, depend cords on which brass
bells and a wooden fish are strung. The
total absence in even the most ancient
and historical provincial towns. of any
remains of art and culture, leads MI.
Carries to think that perhaps the Corea
of olden days differed but little from
that of the present time and that her
early civilization has been greatly over.

Got the Best of the Dentist.

A good many years ago a small boy
called on an o~ld-fashioned Saccarappa
doctor and asked him how much he
charged for pulling a tooth. Twenty
five cents" said the doctor. ''Will it
hurt?" inquired the lad. eff it don't
hurt you l won't charge you a cent"
replied the doctor, facetiously. Out
came the DOCTORS cant-dog and out
jumped the boys tooth. Not a sound
escaped the victim. His face was as i'm
passive as the relentless cant-dog. "Did
it hurt youe" inquired the doctor.

There are two mistaken ideas about
grindstones in the public mind" said 8
dealer in those articles. whose place
was visited by a reporter yesterday.
Zone is that they are going out of use
and the other that they explode. In
stead of their going out of use, just the
contrary is the fact, for more are USED
now than ever before. Why is this:
Because of improved cutting machinery
that requires the ad of grindstones to
keep it in perfect condition. As for
their exploding, as you read about
every once in a while. that's all non
sense. They do not explode. But
they do break, scattering themselves
about some and hurting people. But
! this is due to their being mounted
wrongly. not to anything of an explo.
| sive nature about them"
"Where do most of the grindstones
come from?" was asked.
"From France and Germany chiefly.
Some come from England and some
from the western part OF this country.
They are found in Ohio, but not at all
in the East. The Ohio stones are good
for rough grinding. but the French and
German ones are the best, because they
can be used for finer work-for fiat sur
face grinding and for cutlery. l send a
great many of them to people in the far
West, wen to Nebraska and California.

Canada, too, buys many in this city.
The largest grindstone l ever sold was
fifty-four inches in diameter and had an
eight-inch face. The size most gener-
ally sold is t~wenty-folr inch diameter
with a three to four inch space"
''What do grindstones cost?"
1.-THE smallest is a three-inch diam
eter, two inches thick. A single one OF
these costs thirty cents and 81 rs a

inches thick, costs ninety cents. One

The Fatal Mint Julien,

The Boston man was driving along a forest
| road in Alabama, when he came to cozy
log cabin by the waysde, in whose door sat
plump and hearty darby. The pine trees,
behind which the sun was sinking, framed in
the little plot that the negro cultivated and
around the cabin there was growing, in the
lovelest profusion, a quantity of mint. The
Boston man was in the habit of carrying re-
freshments with him, and the sight of the
nodding paradise of mint about the cottage
suggested beautiful thoughts to him. He
stopped, alighted, and joined the darkey on
the doorstep.
"Would you like to take drink with me ?"
said the Boston mai.
"Boss, doan' Ryar eff l dew" said the
darkey.
The Boston man went to his buggy and
brought two bottles. There was brandy in
one and rum in the other, and there was
some sugar in little box.
"Wnat's your name, my man ?""Julius ?"
"Well, Julius, why don't you make mint ju.
lep?" said the white man.
"Wot mought dat be- boss?" asked the
negro.
"Pick me some nice, tender sprigs of that
mint and bring me some cold water and III
show YOU
The negro brought about half bushel of
beautiful mint and a bucket of cold water
from his well. The white man mixed two
drinks in two big tin cups, and tenderly in
terspersed little of the mint in them. Then
the two discussed the beverages and the
darkey's eyes cleaned After while the
Boston man drove on.
Three months afterward he came back to
the same cabin. He noticed with tender con-
Germ that the mint seemed to have been strip
ped from the darkey's yard as bya tornado,
and the place looked forlorn and gloomy
The pine trees sighed mournfully as he drove
up. In the door sat negro, but not his ne
gro. 1t was detected and tattered old man
who answered his call.
"Ah where is my friend Julius, who lived
in this cabin three NOR tbs ago."
"Po' julius am gone, sab" said the old
negro; -.

"What was the matter with him ?"

yer, at the urgent request of one Of his
younger daughters, sent up TO his country

had read about donkeys but was not familiar
with their peculiar vocaism. The animals
strange noises inspired her with the pro-
foundest pity for his evident distress So
she wrote TO her father:
Dear papa do wish you would come up
here soon my donkey is so lonesome"
AS the lawyer himself describes this pa
thetic appeal, it is irresistible.

THE TWO.


One saw the morning sunlight fill the land,
And with her cheerful heart took up her
share
OF daily toll and cares, her willing hands
Making her burdens light for her to bear.
The other with the coming of the day,
Bringing its round of duties one by one,
Longed for the distant twilight soft and gray,
And weary grew before her tasks were done.
One listened to the singing of the birds
And sang with them tender little song
That lacked, like theirs, perhaps the pow'r of
words,
Yet it was full of music all day long.
The other needed not the melody
That through the undertone ran sweet and
clear.
But with dumb lips craved always, silently,
A voice whose gift the multitude might hear.
One filled her home with peace, quite salts
fed
To view the world with clear eyes from afar.
The other, wand ring restless far and wide,
Brought WEAKNESS and tears that peace to
mar
One sighed for grander heights than she could
reach,
One yielded gadness wheresoe'er she went;
And human hearts were the abodes of each,
For one was called Desire and one Content.
