a UNI0WE BILL,

The advocates OF temperance are very ac-
| tive nowadays. One of the latest evidences
of their activity is bill which has passed
| the house of representatives of Massachu-
setts without opposition. This bill is called
F'the one per cent. liquor bill" and it pros
poses to place liquors Of any kind on the in
per cent. of alcohol.
At first sight it might not appear that
there was much ground for such measure,
but in it's behalf it is urged that the practi-
cal working of the present system is that
liquors containing quite or very nearly four
per cent. Of alcohol are sold by dealers with
out licenses, it being claimed always in cases
of prosecution whore liquors are found con-
tanning more than three per cent. of alcoho1
that there has been an increase in alcoholic
percentage since leaving the brewers, and
that there was no intention to violate the
law, and the municipal court of Boston made
the rule not to grant warrants where the as
says show less than 800 per cent. The SELL
ing of these beverages enables people to
carry on a business which, in all outward
appearances, resembles the saloon business,
and probably in most cases the stronger
liquors are sold under the protection which is
afforded by the ostensible business of selling
the lighter beverages. At some of the worst
places in Boston the proprietors are estensi-
bly, dealing only in these lighter beverages.
They have no license to sell intoxicating
liquors, and they are not bound by any con-
ditions of the licenses, such as the screen
law or the requirement to close at II o'clock
at night, and are not open to that inspection
and supervision which the police can and do
give to the licensed places.
OF course there is much opposition to the
bill among those whose business it will affect.
It is claimed that if 1t becomes law 1t will
stop the sale of such articles as spruce beer,
many kinds of ginger ale, Moxie nerve food
and similar preparations, and any kind of
slider made over two days. One bother says ::
1 don't think our mineral waters will come
anywhere near one per cent. in alcohol. Our
ginger ale would, if we did not use concen-
trated ginger think that all the "small
beer" in the city will contain very nearly one
per cent We get gallon of alcohol to eight
barrels of lemon soda. Our three per cent.
beer when sent out is all right, and contains
but @ so per cent. AS soon as it ferments, it
goes beyond that. This measure, if carried
out, would ruin our business. All the
dealers use malt liquors, and this constitutes
three quarters of our trade in winter. If we
can't sell stuff containing more than one per
cent of alcohol, we might as well go out of
tho husiDosa

EmE WOMEN OF CoRRA.
They Veil Their Faces and Are Taugh
to Hold Their Tongues.

| They Veil Their Faces and Are Taught
to Hold Their Tongues.
| From the st. James Gazette.1
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 hospitality 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 last
able to form some opinion as to the reason of
their shyness and to judge whether a closer
acquaintance will reveal anything worth
knowing. AS to the first point, this shyness
for, like most shy people, the Coreans are
not incurious. 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 read in several books
of old travel, found themselves the object of
much inquisitive observation. Even the
women and children were eager to the
outlandish navigators, more especially the
Dutchmen were reputed to be of monstrous
race who when they drank were obliged to
twist their long noses round their ears
Mr.. Carries made into the interior, yet he was
received with polite attention and interest
everywhere. fsThe more have seen," he
says, ssof the Coreans, 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 avoid
ed. Even some little girls whom he found
swinging in a field fed at his approach. His
inability to tell us ABOUT the women of Cerea
is especially to be regretted on account of the
strange position they hold. The seclusion of
women in this land of the shamefaced is car
ried 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. "It
seemed odd, said Mr.. Carles, 'fthat each wo-
man we met should have arrived at that mo-
ment at her home; but. as we learned later
on, women have right of entree every
where, and to avoid US they turned into the
nearest house at hand a@ Other travellers re-
count that the women are taught to shun
the opposite sex from their earliest girlhoed.
They are even exhorted to talk as little as
may be to their own husbands. What is
still more extraordinary is the innate mod
esty of the men. This sentiment impels
them to work in jacket and trousers in the
hottest weather, while the richer classes use
kind of banbo framework to keep the
clothes, otherwise unbearable, FROM contact
with their skin. When an italian prince
visited Corea a few years ago officials were
sent to his ship to protest against the inde.
cency of the Italian sailors, which for some
days had prevented the villagers from leaving
their houses. The sailors had been bathing.

Upon receiving this information a World

Brooklyn-a handsome four-story brown
stone dwelling adjoining the Carleton Club
and there found Mrs. II. L. Robinson
herself, a young. pleasant-faced woman
When shown the telegram printed above
she was greatly affected. Then she said,
with emphasis:

A CHILD WONDER.
A Little Actress Who is Astonishing
Boston.
From the Boston, Globe.

From the Boston Globe.
Real "child wonders" are few and far be-
tween. There are not few bright and
clever little people who profit by assiduous
coach ing" and who make fairly good
impression in the roles assigned them OH
the stage. But these are all forgotten when
an artist by the gift oil nature like Josef
HOFFMAN, or Elsie Leslie appear before the
public. In both genius is Unborn. What
the Polish lad is to the concert room little
Elsie is TO the theater. Aud the great ar
tistic and popular success gained by the
dainty creator of the roles of Edith and
Faunteroy in this country shows that play
goers Q not the less quick to appreciate
wonderfully precoclous talent than the
muslc-loving multitudes who. last season,
cheered Josef Hoffman,, and would gladly
welcome him in concert again.
Wonderful as little Estes personation of
Lord Fauutleroy--a most exacting role--is
recognized to be by all VINO wit lessed it. no
words of commentator are more cordial
than those spoken by people who witnessed
the London production of Mrs. Burnett'S
play. Its daintineSs, absolute naturalnes'
and fidelity to the character which Mrs.
Burnett has made known to so many house
holds are unsurpassed-one might say
almost indispensable. Aud the best of the
matter is that the petite artistic thoroughly
enjoys hep work, as she did in ''Edithas
Burglar" At the rehearsals she was letter
perfect, and her marvellous menory-which
more THAI once served to help her associates
is not the least remarkable characteristic
Of the little lady. She is absolutely I'M
spoiled by the praise and admiration show
cred upon her, and as much true, unaf-
fected, charming child at home as she shows
herself to be behind the footlights.
The brilliant asSemblages in attendance
upon "Fauntleroy" at the Museum have
been as large as the house could hold, and
little Elsie, as the central figure in the
beautiful idyl of the stage, is sure to delight
thronged audiences as long as the play
holds the boards. In the metropolis and
wherever she may appear as Little Lord
Fauntleroy" there is assured a continuance
of brilliant triumphs for this unrivaled
child artist, Elsie Leslie
