Politeness In Seoul.
From The Home Magazine.


The natives in the east who have become
familiar with foreigners and their customs
take very readily to the custom OF calling-aLd
eating-on New Years day, and one lady had a
very peculiar experience with a native Official
in Seoul last year.
She, was keeping "open house." and had
made some preparations for receiving her
guests in the proper manner. Among other
things, she had prepared with her own hands
a very excellent cake which she expected to
distribute in little bits TO all who might favor
her with call. party of native gentlemen
arrived, and, having given one of them a cup
Of tea, she placed this fue cake before hun,
with an invitation 70 help himself. She then
went with the others to another room. and was
gone some time. When she returned she saw
to her horror that her beautiful cake had all
but disappeared down the throat of the poor
fellow, who had tried his best to do the polite
thing-according 10 has country's Gus .om--

banished by feeling of comm seratIon Tor the

in need of an emetic just then. Ii is said this

Popular Errors as to Health.

From the Baltimore sun.
DR.. George II. Robe, professor at the Col
lege of Physicians and Surgeons, in his lecture
at the Young Mems Christian association on
"Some popular errors concerning health. F" said:
''That 'one mans meat is another mans poison
I do not hesitate to say is a fallacy. Idiosyn-
crasies with regard to food or medicine exist

ONE OF NATURES REMEDIES.
Pine Apple Juice is Said to be Specific
for Diptheria.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune
1t is said that nature has her own remedy for
every i'll to which flesh is heir. Some of her
remedies have not yet been discovered and
some that have been found out have not be-
come generally known. Medical science has
long sought for q sovereign remedy for the
scourge Of childhood, diptheria, yet the COL
ored people of Louisiana, and perhaps Of other
localities in the south, have for years known
and used cure which is remarkable for its
simplicity. It is nothing more nor less than
the pure juice Of the pine apple.
'The remedy is not mine," said gentleman,
when interviewed, ait has been used by
negroes in the swamps down south for years.
One Of my children was down with diphtheria
and was in a critical condition. An old colored
man who heard Of the case asked IL We had
tried pine apple juice. We tried it and the
child got well. have known it tried in hun
'dreds of cases. have told my friends about it
whenever heard Of q case and never knew it
to fail. You get ripe pineapple, squeeze out
the juice, and let the patient swallow it. The
juice Is OF SO corrosive nature that it will cut
out the diptheritic mucps, and II you will take
the fruit before 1t 10 ripe and give the Juice to
q person whose throat 10 well il makes the
mucous membrane of his throat SORE Among
those who have tried the cure on my recon-
mendation may mention Francis j. Kenneth,
the board OF trade man, whose children were
all down with diphtheria and were cured by
this remedy. Mr.. Ksnnett confirmed the state

A Portrait of Wesley.

From the Oxford IEng.j Magazine.
Lincoln college has recently purchased q
picture Of John Wesley which has been pro-
nounced on competent authority to be either
the original or replica of picture painted by
James Williams and sold by him September 10,
174S Some confusion was created in the
minds of the purchasers by the discovery in
Oxford Of a mezzolint engraving by Faber o.
Williams picture with the name of Charles in
place of that of John Wesley. However, a
visit to the Hope collection has set doubt at
rest. There are two or three engravings Of
Williams picture with the title of John Wesley.
Besides, the features of the two brothers are
different, and John Wesley is always repre-
sented with his hair flowing, while Charles ap-
pears in round, bushy wig. More than
this, it is stated in Smiths ''Mezzotinto Por-
traits" that on No. of Faber's engravings Of
Williams picture John was altered to Charles,
probably to suit change of popular TASTE
The minds Of the purchasers have therefore
now been set at ease. Their picture is not
perhaps a great work of art, but is interesting
as representing John Wesley at the time he
was Fellow of Lincoln, and younger than in
the more common representations

Betting in England and America.

From the lnter-Ocean.
Wealthy turf organizations have multiplied
in the United States within the last ten years
to an extent that we now probably offer more
money to be won by the horses than is done in
England, and also have more racers in training
each year. But in the betting phase of racing
there is no comparison. SO much heavier are
the betting operations in the tight little island.
When Laureate won the Cambridgeshire re-
Gently his owner, Mr.. Hammond, won $780, 900
from the books. No such winning over q single
race has ever been made in this country. When
Troubadour won the suburban his owner, Capt
Sam Brown won somewhere between $4,000
and $50 ,000 and that lie probably as much as
has ever been won on race In this country by
one person. On the other hand the big sum
won by Mr.. Hammond on Laureate's victory is
frequently exceeded.
In an article in the Fortn,ohty Rerie,o the
noted English trainer, John Day, gives an en-
Pertaining glimpse of the great scale on which
the big plungers of the English turf have car
ried on their betting operations IN certain noted
instances when, he says:
ITO give some idea Of the extraordinary
wealth of men in this occupation and the way
they obtain il I may mention that Davis lost
$40 900 to Mr.. Bowes, the owner OF Daniel
O'Rourke in one bet when the horse won the
Derby While at dinner the day after the race
Mr.. Bowes expressed some anxiety as to
whether Davis would be able to meet his en-
gagement, for he knew of others to whom he
had lost largely, aud, in fact Davis was said to
have been hard hit. Mr.. c. Q. Greville being
one of the guests at the table that evening and
hearing the conversation, mentioned the cir
cumstance to Davis the next morning on the
course, who Immediately wrote Mr.. Bowes q
check for the amount and gave 1t to him. This
wealth was made and tens of thousands Of
pounds more by small sums received at the
list in shillings and half crowns by O carpenter
for that was once the occupation of Davis,
the greatest bettor known.
I'VE had then as owners Of race horses the,

Bad for French Cider.

Paris Dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph.
French cider is likely to be very inferior both
in quantity and quality this season. The apple
harvests in Brittany and Normandy have given
very unfavorable results and in Picardy, where
the cultivation Of the juicy fruit has been
greatly increased of late, the apples we're
numerous but mediocre. 1t is from Picardy
and few districts in the departments of the
Morbihan and the Ile-et-Vilaine that most of
the cider supply for 1889 and 1890 will have to
be drawn. The weather has been responsible
for all this and the owners of orchards have
found their most energetic efforts to prevent a
bad harvest unavaiing. Parsians, however,
who consume comparatively little cider, will
be undisturbed by these bad reports from
Breton and Norman orchards, but the numer-
Gus and long-suffering swallowers of the re-
freshing beverage obtained from the fruit
which was fatal to Adam who inhabit the
northwestern portion of France will have for a
considerable time good cause to grumble at the
badness of their fayorite drink.

Execution Methods i'm China,

The Soo-Chow correspondent of the North
China Herald. reporting recently the execution
of eleven pirates in that city. refers to the man.
ner in which executions in China are fixed. In
other countries the criminal knows beforehand
the day OF his death, and has time to prepare
for his fate. But in China all is different Had
the Hebrew prophets lived in that country they
would certainly have chosen all execution as
the emblem OF sudden destruction. At Pekin
the veImillion pencil marks the death warrant
which is imm, dia:ely handed to a courier, who
instantly mounts a horse and rides off to his
destination. The posts supply fresh horses
and he goes onward, sleeping and eating in
his saddle, never hating by day or night, in
suns shine or rain. After riding 700 miles he
reaches 500 Chow and delivers the warrant to
the governor. Three messengers are imme-
diately dispatched, one to the district magis-
trate who presides at the execution and vino
repairs at once to the place, a second to the
camp for an escort and the third to the Jail.
The victims are bound, dragged before the
image of the lord of hades, which is in the
prison, and pay their respects They are then
placed in cages, carried on coolies backs and
at rough trot the cortege sets out for the
execution ground. The nerve and blade of one
executioner is never trusted in Soo-Chow to
take off more than three or four heads If
there is a greater number of criminals assist
ants are employed. There are generally from
fifty to one hundred executions per annum in
Soo-Chow, where all the criminals of the
province OF Kiang-Soo, with a population Of
2l,0O0,OOO, are executed. They are mostly
pirates.

HORSE FLESH Is ALL RIGHT

citizen Of Chicago explain why he would not
rather eat horse meat than pork. Certain
animals are tabooed as food on account of
sanitary reasons, but surely no one can say
that horse is not much cleaner than q hog
or duck. In India the bovine species was
