Queer Corean Customs.

The primitive sackcloth is still the
mourning raiment of the Coreans.
During a visit paid by the squadron
under the command of Admiral
Willes to ports on the east coast OF
Corea, the officials were wearing
''grayish hempen garments" which in
that country denote mourning, and
the admiral was informed that the
whole nation had gone into mourning
for a year for the queen, who had
died in consequence of the shock to
her feelings caused by the proceedings
of the rioters at Seoul. In the matter
of dress generally the Coreans are fa-
vorably spoken of, nearly everyone
being decently dressed; and O. we'll
dressed Corean, in his broad hat and
whitestrobes, is said to have an emf
nently respectable and well-todo APP
pearance. Their towns, however, Of

rudimentary stage; but in one respect
they seem to be ahead of the west.
The smoke from the fires is made to

Peter the Great.

Peter the Great, of Russia, worked
out solid reforms by original methods.
If man would not consent to be re-
formed he fogged him, and if he OPP
posed accom- lished reforms he
knocked him in the head. He ordered
the mobiles to be educated, as he
wanted their intelligence as we'll as
their bodily service. When young
noblemen did not attend school vol
unfairly be sent soldiers to fetch them.
Ii they esisted they were fogged, and
if their parents concealed them they
were fogged too. Those who failed to
pass the examination at 20 we're con-
demned to remain unmarried, and
compelled to serve in the lower ranks
of the navy. From all the mobiles the
great dictator required their blood,
their time, and their lives.

COMING INTO PORT.

/ have weathered the coming cape of storms
Where the winds of passion blow
/ have Steered by the reefs that gnaSh to foam
The shadows that Turk below
have ioyed in the surge of the whistling sea
And the wild strong stress of the gale
As my brave bark quivered and leaped, alive,
To the strain of it's crowded sail
Then the masterful spirit was on me-
AND with nature | wreStled glad:
Ana danger was like a passionate bride,
And love itself was half mad
Ihen lie was a storm that blew me on,
And flew as the wild winds fly;
Ana nope was a pennon streaming out,
High up-to play with the sky
Oh. the golden days, the glorious days
Ihat so lavish Of life we spent!
on the dreaming of nights with the silent stars
= Meath the sky's mysterious tentl
On, the light, light heart and the strong desire,
And the pulses quickening thrill,
Wnen 10y lived with us, and beauty smiled
And youth had its free, full will
The whole wide world was before US then,
And never our spirits failed,
And we never looked back, but ever on,
Into the future we sailed.
Ever before us the distant bound,
whose dim and exquisite line
Alone divided our earth from heaven
Our life from life divine.
Now my voyage is well-nigh over,
And my StancheSt SparS are gone,
And my sails are rent and my barnaced DARK
Drags slowly and heavily on.
The faint breeze comes from the distant shore
With its OdOrS dim and sweet,
And soon in the silent harbor of peace
Longparted friends shall greet.
The voyage is well nigh over
Though at times cupfull of wind
VIII rattle the ropes and fill the sails
And furrow wake behind,
But the sea has become WEAKNESS,
And glad into port shall come,
With my sails all furled and my anchor dropped,
Ana my cargo carried home.

CHILDREN S ideas of usefulness in this
world are primitive, to say the least.
A Boston editor has q 5-year-old boy
who has pronounced views on this
subject. He said, the other day, at
the table: "Papa, wish you were q
bakeshop mani" "Why, my boy ?"
Because then you could bring home
cakes and things, an we could 60 in
and get cookies when we wanted to.
Or If you were meat man, or grocery
man, or a carpenter, and made nice
things, or blacksmithshop man
that would be awful fun. Say, papa,
is it any good what you do ?"-Boston

The Care of Children.

Boston, Mass.-A leading medical
journal thinks it is about time
mothers should know how seriously
the health of children is imperiled by
the use of preparations containing
morphia and opium, and given for
the cure of colds and coughs. The
chemist of the Brooklyn Board OF
Health, Otto Grothe, Ph.D., gradu-
ate of the University of Kiel, Ger
many, certifies officially that recently
g. harmless yet effective article for
such complaints has come to his
notice. He refers to the newly-discov-
cred Red Star Cough Cure, which he
found purely vegetable.

Joppa. once Baltimore's Rival.

[From the San Francisco Chronicle.l
We of California have a way OF send
ing strangers to Milpitas, but Baltl-
moreans send them to "Joppa," the
ruined site of once famous town and
would-be metropolis. Even before
Joppa was founded q place called
"Old Baltimore" had been started on
Bush River Tin 1881 About twenty
years later a promising site on the
Gunpowder River was selected, and by
1712 it was occupied by an incorpo,
rated town of "cosmical ambitions"
1t had large wharves at which ships
loaded for New England, the West In
dies, and Europe. Stone mansions
were built on the sunny slopes OF the
Western hills. 1t had a ship-yard and
wanted the state capitol. Suddenly
the town of Baltimore was founded,
possessed greater natural advantages,

Not all medicinal Preparations called tonics
are such. mere stimulant Of appetite, which
gives simple FLIP to Nature which re-
moves no obstacle to her processes in the
human system. is in no true sense a tonic
Rostetters Stomach Bit5ers not only far
transcends in purity the ordinary unmedicated
stimulants of commerce, the cheap local bitters,
and eye-openers vended tonics, but where
they are powerless to do more than impart a
temporary stimulus to appetite, the Bitters re-
stores digestion, remedies biliousness and in
sures regularity in the habit of body. It is,
therefore, q tonic in the true sense of the word,
for does it not renew harmony of tone in the
most important functions of the body, where all
before was discOrdant, feeble, and inharmoni-
GUS? Besides this, it's invigorating and regu-
lating effects constitute it the best possible
safeguard against malarial diseases. 1t con-
quers rheumatism, kidney complaints, and

IT behooves everybody to be on the
watch these nights for burglars. The
old-fashioned habit that many good
people have OF boiling their door with
d carrot and of barring out the festive
burglar with a mosquito netting, is
getting altogether too decollete. A
spring gun at each window and q bull
dog on the front steps goes further to
make more OF show, and show is
what counts these days. Nothing SO
discourages an able-bodied tramp O.
burglar as to have the top of his head
blown off by a load of buckshot.-

that the w%ell-trained camel that carried
