The Coreans go into very extensive mourning
for their friends. They hide their faces from
the pubic gaze and dress in sackcloth Their
mourning costume is not at all picturesque,
but 1t IL curious The hat, stiff with starch is of
coarse hemp cloth and resembles somewhat am
inverted bowl or old-fasnioned soup tureen.
Under the hat is worn a head band and a cap
The hat, the cap and the head band are worn
together the day of the death. at the funeral
and at the expiration of the first and second
years of mourning. At other times during the
mourning period the head band alone is worn.
The mourning robe is made of a coarse hemp
cloth similar to that of which the hat and
screen are made, but with extremely large
meshes. The back is a wide straight piece,
two cores extend from the armpits down and the
the front Is a straight piece and a gore 1t has
rolling collar feet long and sleeves IS
inches wide, cut square. The robes are of a
yellowish-brOwn and white in color. and at the
bottom they measure 81 feet in circumference.
Over this Is worn a robe of finer quality and
slashed up at the sides. The sleeves are wider
also. After the death of a father a girdle of
hemp rope is worn. If it is mother that is
dead hemp cloth sash is worn. A variety of
hats are worn for mourning. screen of bemp
cloth is always held in front of the face by a
mourner. IL is considered a great offense to
look into the face of mourner. Before mis-
sionaries were permitted in Corea they used
to steal into the country by Disgusting them
selves mourners.
The Corean armor is made of many thick
nesses of canvas. 1t is for the most part
patterned after their other costumes as to
shape. but the outer garments are made
probably or q inches thick by sewing one
piece OF canvas upon another and encasing the
whole in a coarse hemp cloth. The hat. made in
the same way, is pointed at the top and has
wings to protect the face and ears. 1t is an ex-
remedy hot GARNER to wear and would be apt
TO curtail active exertion.

Chop sticks rice bowls and other dishes of
rare porcelain rest on little table of charac-
teristic manufacture. The rice bowl is of
'laid' brass, hemispherical in form. The chop
sticks are inches long and very heavy in
make. They use spoons inches long for eat
ing rice.
chop sticks and other pottery IN the collection
are mostly of a very fine and rare quality.
Perhaps the finest things in the collection are
a very old saucer or PLAGUE, and wine bottle
porcelain, with an exquisite glaze as soft as an
egg shell. The saucer is Of an earlier date than
the wine bottle. The glaze on the latter is of
delicate greenish tint. The bottle has Jug

After they had been in conference for some
time and had Just begun to talk brave friend
who was practical joker came rushing into
the house. crying: run, run for your lives.
They are coming with their washing sticks"
The men started up in fright, for they thought
their wives were upon them with these dread
ful sticks. The tiler and the palanquin bearer
had run long way, when they discovered that
they were but two: the blacksmith had not run
away with them. Then they began to be
ashamed and to try to excuse their running.
You see" said the tiler, Il left piece of

And 1, as palanquin bearer" said the
other. lam so in the habit Of running that do
1t every now and then by instinct. l sometimes
run as much as two miles without knowing it"
Thus they endeavored to concoct excuses to
make TO the blacksmith, whose bravery in not
running stood out in reproach to their own
cowardly conduct Downcast and shamefaced
they entered the house, after peeping in to be
sure that their wives were not there.
Il had no idea he was SO brave" the tiler
whispered.
When they got in the house they found the
blacksmith lying on the floor. They turned
him over; he was quite dead. He had died of
fright at the announcement that his wife was
coming.

wants wife, If this is all he
needs, a servant can do it cheaper
than q wife. II this is all, when a
young man calls to zee lady, send
him INTO the pantry TO taste the
bread and cake che has made; send
him to inspect the needlework and
oed-making; or put a broom IN her
hand and eend him to witness it's
use. Such things are important,
and the wise young man will quick
ly look after them. But what the
true young man wants with a wife
10 her companionshlp, mpathy
and love. The way OF life has
many dreary pla ,es in it, and a
man needs wife TO go with him.
