What Celebrated Tenor Says of His

The cOrpulency of opera singers Is very
often the cause Of remark, but you rarely
hear it accounted for except that they have

Neither is true, They do not have easy
time, nor do they glut themselves with tho
fat of the land They are usually self
denying set OF people, and must necessarily
be SO If they would maintain the exceilency
of their art. They are however, peculiar.
In spite of all their hardships they get fat
But it is healthy fat, and does not incumber
or depress them in the least You never
heard OF a singer suffering from excessive
corpuiency.

DOMESTIC TRAGEDY ON ACCOUNT
OF RELIGION

TORONTO. Ont, July 18.-Last Friday
VIM. Lee, a burly fellow, 25 years old, was
sent to jail by police magistrate for three
months for a,saulting bis wife. 1t was
not supposed at that time that the case
was likely to prove anything worse than
an assault, but it now threatens to develop
into case of manslaughter, or possibly
murder. The woman assaulted is
dying, and her ante-mortem statement
has been taken, in which she
charges her husband with knocking her
down and jumping on her with ms knees
as she lay on the floor She was encente
at the time, and the terrible brutality OF
her husband will undoubtedly prove fatal.
She admits that her husband was nalf
drunk at the time he assaulted her The
husband was brought from the jail to the
bedside Of his dying wife and heard her
statement. The quarrel which led to so
miserable a crime arose out of the fact OF
Lee being a Protestant and his wife

IN THE SHAMEFAcED LAND.
COreans the Shyest Nation on Earth-se
cIusion of the Fair Sex.

The Coreans are the shvest nation on the
face of the earth Until quite lately they
have abstained as much as possible from all
intercourse with strangers, holding studiously
aloof not only from Europeans who have
sought their hospitality, but also from CON
tact with the Chinese and japanese. Within
the last few years, however, their reserve has
shown signs of thawing, and we are at last
able to form some opinion as to the reason Of
their shyness, and to judge whether closer
acquaintance viii reveal anything worth
knowing. As to the first point, this shyness
seems constitutional. There is limit to it;
for, like most shy people, the Coreans are
not injurious
A Dutch craft was wrecked near the coast
Of Corea in the latter half of the Seventeenth
century, and the sailors, whose narrative may
be reed in several books of old travel, found
themselves the object Of much inquisitive OBJ
servation. Even the women and children
were eager to see the outlandish navigators;
more especially as the Dutchmen were re-
puted to be OF monstrous race who, when
they drank, were obliged to twist their long
noses round their ears No such report her

''The more 1 have SEEM" he says, "of the

their politeness toward their guests and the
dignity of their behavior" But he saw next

whom he ives carefully avoided. Even sone
little girls whom he found swinging In field
fed at his first approach His inability to
tell US about the women Of Corea IS especi-
ally to be regretted on account OF the strange
position they hold.
The seclusion of women In this land Of tho

Ladies out of doors wear green mantle

Othsr travellers recount that the women are
