They were all clad in their court
dresses, and the head of each showed a
top-knot, shining through it's fine Kor-
can cap of horse hair, with great wings
Tapping out at the sides. They had
gowns OF fine materials of various
coIors which fell from the neck nearly
to the feet, and their feet were shod
with great Korean boots which made
each look as though he had the govt
and had wrapped up his feet for the
occasion. The most striking feature
of their costume, however, was a stiff
hoop-Iike belt which ran around the
body lust below the arm pits and which
was SO big that it came out about six
inches from the dress. These belts are
emblems of rank. They were about
three inches wide, and they were plated
with great number of small squares,
fastened by joints. On some of the
belts these squares were of gold, on
Others they were of silver and on others
they were Of green jade or other pre-
cious stones. Each quality had its
significance and Mr.. Ho, the American
Interpreter, who is of noble blood, had
one Of these court emblems about his
person.
Another emblem of rank was the but

But let me tell you how the King
looked.
He is a man that would attract at
tention anywhere; not over five feet
high. He weight, perhaps, lbs pounds,
and his bright. black, almond eyes
sparkle with intelligence. he has. like
most Koreans, very thin mustache
and struggling chin whiskers of black.
He has q pleasant smile, good. well
kept features and his face is oval and
the color of rich Jersey cream. His
hands are very small and delicate. and
be has no pompous airs about him.
His hair was combed in a Korean top
knot, and upon his head was the royal
cap OF dark blue color. This was of
open work, and l did not notice that it
had the butte fly flaps of his ministers.
His costume was gown ,of brilliant
red or scarlet satin which came up
close around the neck and which bore
upon the breast a square of embroid-
cry, in gold, of the royal dragon. He
stood easily during the talk, and he did
not look to be over 80 years of age.
though I am told he is Sc. He talked
ia a simple manner, in one of the
sweetest voices have ever heard. His
tones were low but impressive, and 7

at the outside, for no one rides into the
palace grounds, we were ushered to-
day past the gorgeous royal guards,
and escorted by the two greatest gen
erals of the Korean army, were taken
into what might be called the hall of
foreign entertainment. Itwas long,
one story, tiled building with great
overhanging roof upheld by massive
beams, which showed in all the natural
beauty of the wood. A Brussels car

had an audience and an interview
with him to day. 1t was at the royal
palace, and 1 was presented by our
minister, Mr.. Hugh A. Dinsmore. We
rode to the palace in state. Our con-
veyances were two Sedan chairs, each
borne by eight big-hatted Korean COO
lies, and the whole escorted by twelve
of the Kings soldiers. Winding our
Way through the narrow streets OF the
CAPITAL, we were carried out into the
broad avenue which leads to the
palace and which runs through Seoul
from one end of it to the other, divid-
Jag it almost in halves. Groups of
white-clad, almond-eyed, yelloT-taced
men squstting on the streets stopped
their smoking as we passed. Women
with green cloaks thrown over their
heads scurried along to get out of the
wsv, and noble or two propped upon
his horse by his feudsl retainers, told
the groom leading the beast to halt,
and do US silent honor as We went by.
We stopped moment by the two nam.

perhaps twenty feet high, guard the

longing to the nobility. We were told
that we would be received at the other
gate of the palace, and our escort ca
ried US by what seemed TO me more
than a mile OF palace wall. The
palaces of the King of Korea, in which
he has now his residence, cover as much
ground as a good-sized farm. They
comprise 100 acres, and high, we'll

can thing shuts them out from ordinary
gaze. The gates to this wall are of fine
masonary. They have roofs large
enough to cover a good sized cottage
and upon these are figures of Korean
gods, or of the sacred animals. Each
great stone gate has three entrances
and the central one is never used ex
cept by the King himself, or by the
representative of royalty. Minister
Dinsmore is perhaps the only Ameri-
can who has ever gone through the
great front central gate. He did this
when bearing a letter from President
Cleveland to the King of Korea. anc

We next took a walk through the
palaces, going by buildings which
looked like japanese temples and the
outside of which were decorated with
carvings. The royal cabinet accom-
panied US, each one of the ministers
having two servants to hold up his
arms as he walked. We were taken to
the centre of a beautiful little lake
over rustic brid 2es. where the King has
pagoda-like summer house, and where
the queen and her ladies come and
smoke on hot summer evening.

ABUSING HORSES.
Ofenses of Which Only Fools or Tyrant,
Are Guilty.

OHenses OF Which Only Fools or Iyrants
Are Guilty.
1t seems to be natural for some men
to always be humping and abusing
the horses which they handle. In fact,
such work is praeticed by some to such
an extent that their horses think there
is something wrong if they are not
slashed or jerked around all the time,
and scarcely know what to do with
themselves when they are placed in
the hands of men who know how to
manage horses that have been proper
ly trained without abusing them. To
say the least, these abusive methods
are shameful and needless, and are
only practiced by those who know but
little or nothing about horsemanship.
The idea prevails among this ignorant
class of men that without this rough
treatment they could not manage their
horses. This is one of the greatest
errors that men who hap2ie horses
can fall into. If horse has any hab-
its that make him unpleasa 1t to handle
they should be thoroughly broken up
at once, after which there will be no
cause for further trouble. An hours
work well directed will eamedy the
worst fault in the training of almost
any horse, and it is better 60 take the
time, should it require whole day, to
break up habits that are annoying
than to let them run along during the
whole life of the animal. Whenever
you see man who is continually fight
ing his team you can set him down as
a fool or tyrant. If he is the first he
hasn't sense enough to know how to
treat his horses. If he is the second
he is abusive because he has the power
to show his evil disposition and the
poor brutes can not resist him.

HYPNOTIC TRANCE.


| A Force Acting Through tks Pntientts
| Mind on His PhysicA1 Condition.
About century ago, Mesmer, ma
tive OF Switzerland, was able to Induce
a peculiar sleep by means Of the now
well-known passes. = He professed to
have discovered a new force, to which
he gave the name of animal magnet-
Ism, but which most people call mes
merism. In 1S43. Braid, OF England.
scientifically Investigated the truth that
lay beneath the 1elusions and decep-
lions OF the mesmerists, and was soon
Independently followed in the same di-
reetion by Esdaille, in India, and
Mitchell, in the United States.
| The patient, being made to fix his
eyes steadily on a bright object, about
foot from his forehead and short
distance above it. sleep was induced
in which all sensation was lost. Nu~
merous surgical operations were par
formed with absence Of all pain. The
celebrated Charcot performed many
experiments of the kind on his
historical patients at his famous
hospital in Paris. The late DR., Beard,
OF this country, devoted much time,
with signal success, to scientific in
vestigation of the subject OF the
hypnotic state, and of hypnotism gem
orally. The word hypnotism. now
usually employed, is from Greek
word signifying sleep. More lately
there have been many contributions to
the subject by German and French ex-
perts, and some new conclusions have
been reached. According to the new
views the hypnotic condition is not
one OF lethargy, catalepsy nor SOM
nambuIsm, but it is normal nervous
state, closely allied to natural sleep.
The use of bright objects before the
eyes is rejected and condemned as in-
furious. The operator sitting before
the patient, assures him confidently
and pleasantly that he will soon be
asleep. tells him to make no resist
ance, and that he is already
feeling drowsy. The patient falls
asleep in from five to fifteen min
utes. From eighty to ninety per cent.
of the persons experimental upon can
be thus hypnotized. The best sub .ects
are persons of sound nervous constitu-
ton. The most susceptible are chill
dren under fourteen wears of age.
Signal curative results have been OBJ
tanned in rheumatism, neuralgia, alco-
holism, morphine habit, various forms
of nervous diseases and amenorrhGa.
1t is not always necessary that the
patient be put fully to sleep. 1t is
now thought by some investigators
that mindcuring.and the.new hypnotism
are essentially the same thing. These
results and the sleep itsel are de-
ternined by the suggestions of the
operator acting through the mind OF
the patient on his physical system. =
