The CoREAN MOVEMENT for entire

desire of the king for reorganization
OF his army. The English Commits
sioners of the Maritime Customs De-
partment of Corea, sent there by the
Chinese Government, are especially
odious, for the reason that they suc-
gest a condition Of dependency. IT is
not impossible that the Offices Of the

An Indian Student Making Music.

The Hampton School Record tells of one of
the irrepressible Indian boy students who
was discovered the other evening, sitting
at the organ playing by note" most care
fully and, under the circumstances, probably
correctly. He seemed SO intent upon his
''notes" that the teachers attention was
drawn to them. To her great amusement
she found he had standing on the music
rack before him large, square piece Of
corn bread, cut open between the crusts,
opened like book, with beans arranged in
irregular lines along the soft inside, some
what after the manner of notes on a staff,
and it was from this extraordinary book
that he was making music" to the words
of "Way Down Upon the Swanee River. "
You can emulate this spirit of apphca-
ton, and if even you don't know beans"
about music, so to speak, you can purchase
an Organ or Piano from Ludden & Bates
Southern Music House, at low prices and
upon easy terms, and the very presence of
the instrument in your home will prove an
incentive to learn how to play, and thus
contribute to the happiness of home and
make you feel certain of tan-fold returns
from a small investment. Try it.

Is pronounced by all to be the strongest and
most notable picture ever brought to Amer
lea, being a masterpiece, wonderful as a
work of art, beyond the power of language
to describe Worth a thousand sermons as
a moral lesson, and which will become one
of the most popular pictorial ornaments of
American households. The original picture
was painted five years ago by the great
Hungarian artist, Munkacsy, as the supreme
effort of his life and art in dealing with a
sacred subject, and is one of the most re-
markable and greatest pictures ever painted.
Dense crowds, numbering in the aggregate
millions Of people, have thronged to see it,
both in Europe and in this country. 1t is
beyond all doubt the most wonderful and
impressive painting on a sacred subject ever
produced in the world, a statement that is
sufficiently attested by the fact of its recent
sale for over 800, 900, the highest price ever
obtained for a modern painting. The in
tense interest taken by all classes in this
great painting has prompted us to give
every one an opportunity of placing copy
in their homes. By the aid of some of the
best artists and engravers in the country
we have succeeded in obtaining a picture
which is pronounced by all who have seen
it to be a faithful reproduction in every
respect. Not plain engraving but exact
ly like the original, in twenty colors. II is
in itself a work of high art, and fully
worthy of the great original, of which it is
an exact copy. The skill and delicacy with
which it has been executed is wonderful.
and all the color values of the artists mas
terpiece have been admirably preserved,
while the high intent and purpose of the
exalted subject have lost nothing in the
transference. The picture is of sufficient
size to allow ample scope for the display of
the salient features Of face and form, while
the varied expressions of hate, fear, curios-
ity, compassion and reverence animating
the countenances of those assembled are
shown with a startling fidelity that beggars
description. Munkacsy, while preserving
thoroughly reverential tone. treated Christ
and those about him in style of unfiinch-
ing realism such as the world has not been
accustomed to see in paintings of religious
cast, and this realism has been maintained
in our reproduction; as the original is in
stinct with life and inspiration in the highest
sense, so is this reproduction, not jot or
little of the original painting having been
toned down or abated. 1t is the greatest
and most impressive religious picture ever
painted, and people of all denominations
