Children in the Earthquake.

A little girl who has plenty Of brains and
writes a most excellent letter, tells Harper's
Young People how it feels to be caught in an
earthquake. This clever miss lived in Charles
ton. She says:
l want to tell you something about the
earthquake. Grandmother has lived Sc years,
and she says it was the most terrible thing
she ever passed through. 1t was great deal
worse than the cyclone.
Light sand dubbed up in our yard and all
about. 1t is different from all the earth
around
We have been sleeping out of doors at
night and we could hear the colored people
singing and praying all night 1t was strange
to lie down in the open air, just under the
sky. The father of one of our little friends.
who was with us, is a clergyman, and he
prayed for us in the middle of the night.
We do not undress now to go to bed. We
keep ON our clothes, shoes, and all, day and
night. We have no chimneys either on the
house or the kitchen, and we are trying to
have the holes stopped up SO the rain can't
pour down on us.
We have shocks all the time, and we don't
know when it will be over We were fright
ened at first, but now we are so used TO it we
don't make fuss
We are going to try to sleep in the house,
on the first floor now, and if the ceiling begins
to fall we will creep under the dining table.
Our pretty room, where Monte and slept, is
all torn to pieces, but we are thankful our
lives were spared. 1t was awful to have to
run out into the street, full Of bricks, that
night. and the fires burning We were more

quake - Enigma - The Corean Bride
Rides Alone Behind the Procession.
Corea is a peninsula running out from the
eastern coast of Asia. 1t is very strange
country indeed. Nobody in Europe or Amer
lea knew much about the ways of its people
until lately, That was because the Coreans
didn't want company and they cut off the
heads of foreigners who came spying into the
land. 1t wasn't much fun to travel in Corea.
Quite lately, however, some Americans
have penetrated into this queer region. En-
sign Bernadou, of the United States navy,
has brought home and presented to the Ma
tional museum at Washington collection
of the works the Corean artists. There
are artists even in that country, it seems, and
they can scratch upon brass stork standing
upon one leg with the most aesthetic Young
lady in America.
Their drawings are very quaint They rep
resent life in Corea and show how the people
do things there. Here are some copies of them:
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-10-07

They say Corea is full of peddlers, who go
about all over the roads selling everything
one could think of. Certainly there didn't
any of them get away from our country to go
to Corea, for we have not missed any out of
America.
The picture shows how babies, peddlers'
packs and all loads are carried upon peoples
backs over the rough roads of Corea. Ensign
Bernadou's collection of drawings will be
great help to our learned men in studying
about Corea. 1t is said to be a country that
has not changed any in 1000 years.

THE OLD STORY.

Twas on the beach he met her,
And they oft sat hand in hand
Upon the cool piazza,
AS they listened to the band.
He told her that he loved her,
Praised her hair, her cheeks and eyes,
And she listened, blushing redly,
And she answered him with signs.
Then they parted. In the city
Now he meets the maiden sweet,
But she does not recognize him
As she sweeps along the street.
It's the same with most flirtations
That occur beside the sea:
She was an under housemaid,
And dry goods clerk was he.

The wedding procession is almost as strange
as shooting the horse. Two men carrying
lighted lanterns in broad daylight so first
Next comes one carrying wild duck or
goose for luck. Then we have the happy
bridegroom riding all by himself upon
horse that is led by one man and attended by
another. Last, as if she was nobody and of
no consequence at all, comes the poor bride,
riding alone, except for a small boy who
runs beside her. She has sort of big cloak
ready to throw over her and hide her face if
a man should come along that way and meet
the procession.
