Telegraph in n Poker Game.

There is a gambler in st. Paul who
will not try to do up another telegraph
operator in n hurry. A night operator
in one of the big railroad offices has
quite q local reputation as poker play
er, and as poker was also the favorite
game of the gambler, they arranged to
have q friendly game. 1t occurred in
the railroad Office, no one else being
present but the operator on duty. For
the first time in his life the gamblers
luck did not come to his aid, for his OPP
ponent won on nearly every hand; or
else laid down when the gambler had
good cards. Finally the gambler had
four kings, made small bet, and the
operator refused to call That action
had become so monotonous that the
gambler reached over and ran the cards
that the operator had laid down. To
his surprise they were three queens and
n pair of tens. "What in - did you
lay that down on a 81 bet for" he ex-
claimed, adding, 81 guess I've got
enough" The secret of the operators
luck was that the other operator, sitting
where he could see the gamblers cards,
had telegraphed each card us it was pick
ed up, thus enabling the player to know
how to play the game.--St, Paul Pioneer,

THE WOMEN OF COREA.
TheyVeil their Faces and are Taught
to Hold their Tongues.

The Coreans are the shyest 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 hos
pitallty, but also from contact with the
Chinese and Japanese. Within the
last few years, however, their reserve
has shown signs of thawing, and we are
at least able to form some opinion as to
the reason of their shyness and to Judge
whether closer acquaintance Will re-
veal anything worth knowing. AS to
the first point, this shyness seems con-
stltutlonal. There is O limit to 1t, Tor,
like most shy people, the Coreons are
not injurious. A Dutch craft was wreck
ed near the coast of Corea in the latter
half OF the seventeenth century, and the
sailors, whose narrative may be read III
several books of old travel, found them
selves the object of much inqulsltlve OBJ
servatlon. Even the women and children
were eager to see the outlandish navlga-
tors, more especially as the Dutchmen
were reputed to be of o monstrous race
who, when they drank, we're obliged to
to twist their long noses round their
ears. No such report heralded the
Journey which Mr.. Carries made into the
interior, yet he was received with polite
attention and interest everywhere. ''Ihe
more have seen," he says, ''of the Co
reans, the more fully have appreciated
their politeness towards their guests and
the dignity of their behavior. But he
saw next to nothing of the women of the
country, by whom he was carefully
avoided. Even some little girls whom
he found swinging in field fled at his
first approach. His inability to tell US
about the women of Corea is especially
to be regretted on account of the strange
position they hold The seclusion of
woman in this landos the shamefaced is
carried to the utmost limit. Ladies out
of doors wear green mantle which
covers the whole countenance except the
eyes. Nor do they willingly let even
their eyes be seen. at seemed odd,"
said Mr. Carries, ''that each woman we
met should have arrived at that moment
at her home; but, as we learned later
on, women have right of entree every
where, and to avoid rs they turned into
the nearest house at hand Other
travellers recount that the women are
taught to shun the opposite sex from
their earliest girlhood. They are even
exhorted to talk as little as may be to
their own husbands. What is still more
extraordinary is the innate modesty of
the men. This sentiment impels them
to work in jacket and trousers in the
hottest weather, while the richer classes
use kind of bamboo framework to keep
the clothes, otherwise unbearable, from
contact with their skin. When an
italian Prince visited Corea, q few years
ago, officials were sent to his ship to
protest against the indecency of the
Italian sailors, which for some days had
prevented the villagers from leaving
their houses. The sailors had been
bathing.

A Voluntary White Slave.

A correspondent at Atlanta, Georgia,
writes; "a VIII te slave is strange sight
in the South, and yet one was seen on
the streets of Atlanta yesterday. John
;. Hughes, white man of good charac-
ter, owed Gus Kaglcmacher a sum of
money which he was unable to pay. He
met kaglemacher yesterday and jokingly
asked him if he would accept a bill of
sale of himself as pay for the debt
kaglemacher agreed, a lawyer was called
in and the bill of sac drawn up and
properly sigued, in which hughes sold
himself and his body after death to Gus
Kaglemacher, the said Kaglemachcr to
have control of said Hughes as long as
he might live and % batter, sell or con
vey him to others if he chose to do so.
4 copy of the contract was given to
each party. After the contract was
handed him Hughes began to think more
seriously of the matter, and consulted q
lawyer as to its validity. Upon being
told that it would hold good in tho
courts, he got drunk and was arrested.
This morning he was fined il the police
court, and his owner, who was Oil hand,
paid his fine and this evening took him
out to his farm where he says he shall
work for the balance OF his life. "-Neao

FARM AND GARDEN.
Farm Gardening.

Raising garden crops on large scale,
with all the labor-saying appliances, is a
matter for the consideration of every far
mer who is within short distance OF a
good market. If near q place where
many horses are kept, he can afford to
raise rye, not so much for the grain, but
for the straw, which is the most profita-
bic part of the crop. Where there are
many horses, there is a good demand for
carrots. Watch the markets, and see if
there is any crop brought from a distance
that may not be raised near at home.
Strawberries often bring BETTER returns

A German Cooperative Community.

The Amana community in Iowa, in
Guiding population of about 2 900, is an
interesting illustration of the success Of
cooperative effort among thrifty Ger
mans. The settlement was begun in
1865 and the colony now owns 10000
acres of land. The land forms single
township and the people are grouped in
seven villages. Each village is a social
unit, and has definite area assigned to
it for cultivation and pasturage. The
whole, is invested in Board of thirteen
trustees, while each village has its Board
OF Elders, varying in number from seven
in the smallest to eighteen in the largest.
The central institution in each village is
the ''store," which is large general re-
tail establishment carrying groceries,
drugs, dry goods, clothing, hats and
caps, hardware, etc. Its bookkeeping is
very elaborate, for, except III dealings
with outsiders, the colonists do not or
dinarily use money. Everything is done
by a system of accounts which are kept
at the ''store." The blacksmith shop
and the carpenter shop have accounts
against the farm department which are
duly recorded on the village books.
Every family or adult has an account at
the 'store," certain credits being appor-
toned to all members by the elders at
the commencement Of each year, which
are drawn against by purchasers.
Boarding houses furnish meals to mem
bers in each village i'll groups of from
forty to fifty each. Houses are assigned
to families by the elders, who provide
shelter for all. The community con-
ducts a number of mills and manufact-
uring enterprises.
