THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.

Among the Corean superstitions there is
a dislike to have cat approach dead
person. If such an accident happens
the corpse will rise upright, and the
body has to be knocked down with a
broom. In eating rice, which is always
eaten with spoon, if the first spoonful
is dropped, it is considered a sign of bad
luck. Unlike Europeans, they believe
the number thirteen to be lucky, but
they agree with them in considering a
horseshoe over the door as bringing
good luck with it. They also, as people
do here, get over bad dreams by saying
that dreams go by contrary. In occupy
ing a new house the first thing they do
is to have woman carry ina bunch OF
matches. This insures prosperity. If
the ear itches it is sign that some one
is talking about you; if it is the. chin,
that cake will be received. If Corean
dreams of Buddhist priest. he con-
siders himself in danger of being poi
soned. The hooting of an OWLS thought
to announce the death of the master of
the house. Money found is. considered
bad luck, as it is gained without labor,
and every evenly balanced Corean will
spend it before he enters a house. This,
he thinks, will avert any calamity

Corea.
CUSTOMS AND HABITS OF ITS INHABITANTS


Among the interesting papers read in
the section of anthropology at the recent;
meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, in Phil
adelphia, was one by Professor Edwards
Morse on Interview with Corean."
According to this paper, the relations be-
tween father and son in Corea are very
strict and severe. When the son comes
into a room where his father sits he must
stand with his hands folded until invited
to sit. He sweeps his fathers room,
makes the bed and rises early to build
the fire, even at night. If the son wakes
up at night hungry or cold he inquiries if
his parents are not hungry or cold also.
Boyhood lasts until married. Property
all belongs to the father until he dies, no
matter how much his son earns. If the
son lives in a separate house then he has
his earnings, but if his father should
have no money he can sell his sons
house. After the death of the father
the money goes to the eldest son. The
daughters are perfectly free about the
house. They are familiar with the fa-
ther and their. brothers and act good
deal like spoiled children. Male and
female servants do not sit down together
in the same room. Servants are in
herited. They are bought and sold.
Loyal servants work and support their
masters when poor. The higher classes
employ private tutors for the education
of their children. In olden times there
were public schools in Corea. The
schools of the country arc now of pri-
vate character. Five rules are drilled
into the children from the earliest age.
To obey their father, respect their elder
brothers, be loyal to the King, respect
| full to the wife and true to their friends.
Coreans eat rice, soup and fluids with
| spoon. In this respect they are different
from other Asiatic tribes, like the Chi
nese, Japanese and Manchurians, who
employ, as rule, chop-stichs. At the
table they never speak, and always eat
slowly. In passing dishes both hands
must be used. To use one only is con-
sidered impolite. There is prohibition
against decorating the outside of private
houses. Streets are named after trees,
men, historical events, and attributes.
| Mourning clothes consist of hat of large
| size comingdown to the shoulders, which
also covers the face. The mourning col
or was formerly white it is now yellow.
No one ever interrupts or accosts per-
son in mourning on the street. and Jesuit
priests have often availed themselves Of
the use of mourning clothes as dis
guise. The position of women in Corea
is degraded and unhappy to the last de-
gree. Among the better classes they
never attempt to go out, and seldom
visit even their relatives. Under the
customs existing five hundred years ago
they enjoy much greater freedom.

THE LITTLE HAc4NT CHAIR.

little dimpled waxen hand
Has softly dropped from ours
dove has reached the shining land
And found the olive bowers.
A little happy gladstone voice
Has hushed its merry ringing
A bird has left the starry blue,
And far beyond is singing.
A pair of little rosy feet
Have cease their restless treading;
An angel DER the golden street,
Two snowy wings is spreading.
The mothers heart will ache with care,
When childish voices mingle,
To know there is a tiny chair
Stands vacant in the ingle.
The father, too, will miss his joy
When by the hearth he fingers,
And yearn a weary, weary time,
To clasp those folded fingers.
But when the night grows wild and dark,
And faith is difting from us,
And up above our tossing ark
There CLEANS no Bow of promise.
A little dove from realms of love
Will lift his wings of whiteness,
And fly afar o 'er the olive shore
To bear us leaves of brightness.

Sir Hugh Rose.

A few days ago as the cable inform
ed us, there died in England no.
.bleman named Lord strathnairn, who
earned his military notoriety as Sir
Hugh Rose. He it was who gained a
monstrous celebrity for blowing Sc
poy prisoners from the mouths of his
cannon, and perpetrating the most
horrible atrocities during the Indiap
mutiny. An eyewitness thus descriD-
ed the scene: A man was chained fac
ing the muzzle Of the cannon, the
mouth Of the piece against the centre
of his body; and behind him were
bound nine men, close together, all
facing toward the gun. At ono horrii-
bic days slaughter, forty pieces OF
artillery were occupied for hours.
The discharge OF the gun blew the ten
men to shreds; and the assembled
multitude Of Indian witnesses had an
illustration Of English vengeance that
was calculated to ensure. submission.

Anecdotes of Annapolis.

Lieut.. Danenhower,who is one of the
instructors at the Naval Academy, is
a great favorite with the cadets. They
swear by him. They say, Danny Is
a square man." Danny" however,
has clairvoyant knowledge of the
fellows who put up jobs on the in
structors, and can pick out the cul-
prits at a glance. His eyesight is not
very good, so the cadets concluded to
"take a rise out of Danny thereby.
One night, with great labor and diff

on the ground over to the spot where
Danny would stand during the morn

over them and crafty the cadets with
the delicious spectacle Of their superior
officer rolling in the mud. Everything
went off beautifully until the parade
was fOrmed-not an officer had MOTTO
