The Gentleman In Corea.

Once having become gentleman, the Cor
rean affects peculiar slow swinging stride.
and never breaks out into Tepid "goas- YOU
please gait. This peculiar stride is supposed
TO be caused by sitting crosslegged so long
in riding In the chair, and seeing it one at
once infers, as is desired, that the person is a
gentleman and accustomed to being borne
about from place to place rather than to
walking. Also the speech and manners
change with the promotion to gentility. A
Corean can instantly detect gentleman by
his form of speech. The vulgar forms Of
the commoner are dropped and the more ele-
CANT expressions of the gentleman are Guilt

strict In enjoining the observance OF all the
respect due him from his women, children

classes there is more home life; they sit dowr
together to eat their meals, and they smoke
when and as they please, while tho son OF
wife of gentleman may only smoke in lbs
presence on special permission.-H. n Allen

THE TOILET or DEATH.
Preparing French Criminals for the Fall
of the GuiIlotine,s Knife.


Toward or o'clock, when everything Is
ready outside, the warden of the prison. &C
companied by several officials, goes to the
condemned mans cell, and, shaking him bv
the shoulder, announces that his demand for
pardon has been rejected, SAYS a Paris let
ter. As soon as the prisoner has dressed him
self he is, If he so desires, left alone with the
chaplain for few moments; afterward he il
led to the toilet room. First, his shirt collar
Is cut away sufficiently to allow the guiIlotine
KNIFE to fall upon his bare neck; then he is
fastened with cord starting from the shout
aers and connecting with another cord that
Dinds the two wrists; a third cord goes from
the wrist to the knees, where it is Joined to
another cord already passed around the legs
linus strapped the culprit is obliged to
march as straight as an l, with his head
thrown back. When the preparations are
ended the procession starts for the euillo-
tine, the prisoner being supported by two of
the headsman's aids and accompanied by the
executloner, the chaplain and the other Off
Gals Tho huge prison doors are thrown
open and the first object the condemned man
sees is the black trapeziform knife which
contrary to the general impression is not
concealed from his gaze. The distance from
the door to the guillotine is scarcely twenty
steps, ana as soon as the criminal reaches the
swinging board tho chaplain quits him, the
executioner selzes him and pushes him on to
the bascule Panl Panl a click and a thud:
tho fall of the knife, the heavy sound of
the body falling into the brand box. The
movements are almost simultaneous The
knife falls. The criminal disappears.
As soon as the ceremony is over the body is |
placed in wagon and conveyed to Iyey
cemetery, where it is buried In the turnip
field. When tho parents reclaim the BODY
and 1t is inferred in another part of the ceme
terry no name is ever put upon the headstone
IN order not to excite public curiosity. When
inc body is not reclaimed the project of
police authorizes tho faculty of medicine to
take it. Strictly speaking, the corpse ought
not to be delivered to the faculty until after
twenty-four hours, this delay being accorded
TO tho family to make its demand; but the
custom is to give up the body Immediately
after simulated burial when the authorities
are certain that it viii not be reclaimed
During tho whole of this lugubrious cere-
mony the chief executioner never touches the
victim. The toilet and all tho operations
that require contact with his person are per.
formed by the ds.-Paris Letter.
