The Always Hungry Corean.

A Corean is always ready to eat; he at
tacks whatever he meets with, and rarely
saws enough" Even between meals he
will help himself to any edible that IS
offered. The ordinary portion Of a laborer
is about a quart of rice, which, when
cooked. makes a good btisk. This, how
ever. is no serious hindrance 10 his deyour
ing double or treble the quantity when he
can get u.
Eating matches are common. When
an OK is slaughtered and the beef is served
up, "A heaping bowl OF the steaming mess
does not alarm any guest. Dog meat Is a
common article Of food, and the anine
s~irloins, served up in great srenchers, are
laid before the guests, each one having
his own small table TO himself. When
fruits, such as peaches and small melons,
are served, they are deyoured without
peeling. Twenty or thirty peaches is con
sidered an ordinary allowance, which rap
idly disappears.
Such q p~rodigality in victuals is, how
ever. not common, and for one feast there
are many Hastings. The Coreans are

painstaking in their cooking. Nothing

Woman I'm Washington Society.

Washington society has a far higher
tone than people not acquainted with 1t
suppose, and its ladies have other duties
than those performed before the looking
glass. They have to keep up with the
times both in politics and literature, and
it would be objectionable for a noted
woman in Washington society not to know
what Is going on in congress and about
the White House. The most noted char
acters in the country meet here every
winter, and 1t requires wide information
Of public men and public matters to pre-
vent ones making a fool Of himself by
pretending to know that which he does
not. The knowledge Of the French is
more common than it has ever been be-
fore, and French phrases are uttered in
many conversations. The diplomats prefer
to talk French rather than English, and
some of them are unable to carry on a
good conversation in the English tongue.

Rad Health Versus Good.

The fact is, the advantages Of poor
health have never been rated at hall Their
worth. What a deluge Of books has been
poured out to show people how to get and
keep health, and never a II 10 teach
them how to lose 1t. Take, for example,
the case of n physical giant like Daniel
Webster. his prodigious health was
simply the ruin of him. Such enormous
dinners he could eat, deluged with such
oceans OF wine and brandy, and such an
immense amount Of outdoor cunning and
fishing did he have to resort TO to digest
these that three fourths OF the time his
powerful brain was as torp:. as that % II

All! had Webster only been a lifelong
invalid, like Alexander IL. Stephens, OF
Georgia, what an intellectual prodigy
America would have seen. lowered with
only digestion enough to keep half alive

of his vast intellectual and imaginative
powers, and SO have produced some noble
work that would have enriched the world.

OHIO WOOL.

That is wicked and satirical in the
New York Times to say that it is pos
sible that Governor Foraker believes the
figures to be correct which he puts forth
In a partisan lament over the waning
fate Of Ohio wool.
The Governor says that the reduction
of the tariff on wool has already caused
a loss to his State Of $4, O00, 900.
The truth Is that only the ad calorem
duty was taken off, but the price of wool
has since fallen enough to bring up the
duty to almost exactly its former figures,
58.2s per cent. on clothing woods In 1888
and 500 per cent. in 1886. For thcfour
years 1881 10 1888, inclusive, there was
$16,772,G GOO worth Of clothing wool i'm.
ported at an average duty Of IS per cent
In the following fonr years the imports
were $16,377 900 Cor 100000 less at an
average duty of nearly 81 per cent. OBJ
viously the trifing decrease Of duty pro-
duced no increased imports, and had
nothing TO do with the falling of of the
number or the value Of sheep in Ohio.

The last year has not been a pleasant
one for Wall street men. On the con

gloom among the brokers, caused by a
combination Of heavy expenses and small
receipts. They have been whistling for
some months TO keep their courage up,
and one of the tunes that they have re-
lied on for that purpose has been a song

Anarchy I'm Turkey.

1t Is remarked that Mussulman pilgrims
returning to C~onstantinople from Mecca
bring with them slaves Of both sexes,
procured by them at the request OF friends.
The ministry of police, Notwithstanding
the prohibition by the sultan, feigns
ignorance and tolerates this Illicit traffic.
By the aid Of pilgrims the regular slave
traders carry on their ncfarious business.
It is believed that this convenient pretext
of pilgrimage to holy places is largely re-
sorted to for the promotion OF slave deal
ing purposes, with practical IMMUNITY.
This is only another among the number
less signs Of the anarchy which Is rapidly
gaining ground in the country. In the
interior there never have been such n
want Of authority, such lawlessness and
such wretchedness among the poorer
classes. 1t IS not only the population,
however, which defies the governors and
officials, but the officials themselves e,incc

The Provisional Committee of the
Knights OF Labor now in Washington,
are making a demand for a national con
venlion Of the Knights OF Labor in order
to reconstruct the organization of the
Order, and ~abrogate certain features of
the Order that are claimed to be tyranni-
cal and wrong.
The committee claim that there is nc
use in appealing to the General Executive
Board, or 10 Mr.. Powderly, as these are
the central sources of power which which
are accused "of misrepresentation OF
money, the Encouragement of business,
and the suppression Of the voice of the
minority"
This Executive Board can control the
Treasury without being responsible for
the funds, and directs the whole ma
chinery of the Order without consulting
the popular will. This all agrees with
what we said long ago would be the
logical results of arbitrary management,
and the subservience Of n interest TO
another when there is no similarity
between the two, or, in other words, the
folly Of making 10000 men in the West

300 men in New York.

A citizen Of Michigan explains that
the State is ridden to death by the pro.
lection tax on lumber which encourages
the wholesale destruction Of forests, and
puts every sort of lumber a third or
more above the just price, whereby the
lumber barons "get rich quick" by the
process of forcing the people to pay
them q premium and a tribute.

with the money they have made.
