THE COREAN APPETITE.
A Country Where Gluttony Is Mark Of
Great Distin ction.

A Country Where GIuttony Is q Mark of
Great Distinction.
The Corean is the greatest eater in
the world, and more than any other
man in the world he lives to eat. The
average man the country over eats any
thing he can get his teeth on, and he
will take dozen meals a day if he has
a chance. I had sixteen chair-bearers
on trip which l took into the interior,
and these bearers stopped at every VII
lage and at almost every house to rest
and feed. They would dart off one by
one into fields of turnips by the wayside,
and for the next half-mile would go along
eating raw turnips. The bigger a
mans stomach is in Corea the more
wealthy he is supposed to be, and you
see pot-bellied youngsters everywhere
you go. A Corean has short sack,
which comes down just below the mid
die of his waist, and his full baggy pam
falcons are tied up under this. Some of
the baby boys have outgrown the size of
their Jackets, and you see belt of fat
yellow skin between the ends of the
pantaloons and the beginning of the
coat. Some of the wealthy ones wear
bustles over their abdomens, in order to
increase the size of their fronts, and the
King annually makes present to those
who have audience with him. He sent
lot of provisions to the American
Generals few days after they
arrived in Corea to reorganize the army,
and there is no lack of good things in
the palace. The Corean country pro-
duces good meat, and the Coreans are
greater meat eaters than either the
Chinese or Japanese. All nations of
the East which have large number of
Buddhists among them are, to great
extent, non-conSumers of meat. The
Buddhists believe that their ancestors
are trotting around inside the feathers
and under the fur and hair of the animal
creation, and they believe it is
a sin to take animal life. Ac-
cording to the theory of trans
migration of souls man may be
chewing up the choicest bit of his gr9 at
grandfathers body when he masticates
a tenderlotn steak, and the tenderest
wing of this years spring chicken may
have trotted around under the anima-
ton Of his grandmother's soul. To peo-
pie of delicate sensibilities, possessed
of that faith which moves mountains
such gastronomic remembrance would
spoil their feast. 1t is for this reason
that the Burmese and Siamese eat SO
little meat. and it is largely due to this
that you fn0 but lille meat consumed in
the greater part of India.-F. G. Car
penter, in Omaha Bee.

Unpleasant Custom Of Plundering the Dead
That Exists in Hungary.

Unpleasant Custom Of PIundering the Dead
That Exists in Hungary.
A mares nest of remarkable dimen-
sions has just been discovered in Karlo-
WITT, small city in South Hungary.
The rich patriarch Angyelic died there
at two o'clock in the morning short
time ago. Within twenty minutes a
high ecclesiastic, Lemajic, and prom
inent fnancier and political economist,
Stojanovic, had plundered his strong
box of 5000 forms, 1000 of which they
gave as hush money to the guards and
chamberlain. Half an hour later DR..
Milan Dimitrijevic, professor in the
Karlowitz College and director of saw
ings bank, carried off the patriarch's gold
watch and diamond cross. The next
day DR.. Gruic, editor of the government
sheet, Serbski Narod secured through
Lemajie two of the patriarch's marriage
certificates, already signed and sealed,
though not otherwise filled out. Gruic
altered these certificates SO that they
read as the patriarch's notes for $4,000
and $4,000 forms respectively, pay
able to him on demand, filed them
Judgment against the dead patri-
arch's estate for $4,000 forms. One
of his fellow-conspirator betrayed him
to the police, however, and he, Lamajie,
Stoianovic and Dimitrijevic are now be-
hind the bars. The whole affair has
turned Karlowitz topsy-turvy. The ar
rest of Dimitrijevic was followed by
run on the bank of which he was di-
rector, and the police had to be called
out in body to prevent riot. In COM
menting upou the scandal, Hungarian
daily says that Angyelic's estate is only
one of forty or more which, within the
last twenty years, have been plundered
Immediately after the death of the own
ers. Before the body of the patriarch
Rajacsic was cold, it says, six big chests
full of gold and silver were stolen from
his bed-chamber. Twelve thousand flor
ms were removedfrom the cap on the head
of the dead Bishop of Vojnovics within
five minutes after he had breathed his
last. The ducatS were stolen from the
hat of the dying Bishop Hranislar while
he was still conscious. In Croatia and
Slavonia, the region around Karlowitz,
the high ecclesiastics protect as much
of their money as possible from theft
by carrying it in their caps. On this &C
count Bishop in this part of Hungary
always keeps a tight hold of his cap
when it is not on his head or locked up
in his strong box at home.-London

A Maryland Town in Which Nearly All Are

Giants and Methuselahs.
"Back in Montgomery County, eleven
miles from Laurel, on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad is the little village Of
Sandy Spring, a Quaker settlement,
whose population is but seventy-fve
persons, yet which is noted for the
length Of time it's inhabitants live and
the stature they attain" said Robert Ell.

little or q young man. [ am II years

the chaps who live there. The old
people there are dying off, though.
Now, there was the Penn family. Mary
lived TO be 100 years old. Edward died
at 1O4. Lizzie was 1913 when she died,
and Joseph was 1O1. Joshua lived to

lam Thompson was one of the
Oldest men in town. He died at
113 years. The Bell boys were triplets.
They were Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego. Every one of them was over
100 years old, and the smallest of them
was 6 feet inches high. Both the
others were 6 feet 5. Then there
were two men, one named Davis and the
other Thatcher, both of whom were over
100. Isaac Moore lived to be 102. Mrs.
Russell died at 1o4. Mrs Kirk was 1o1.
Billy Matthews and Will Mccormick
were each 101 when they died. Billy
Simpson was 100, and Mahlon Chandice
is now living at 100. Cornelius Sullivan
was "a, William Brown was 80 when he
left US, and Jimmy Whiteside is still liv-
ing, hale and hearty, at SO. Now there
is a raft of men over 80 years. Among
those who are dead are William Thomp-
son, Randall Thompson and Joe Thomp-
son, Joshua Lewis, Ephraim Murphy,
Henry Stabler and Edward Stabler.
Caleb Stabler, Richard Tucker, Perry
Lizear, and JEFF Higgins are still living.
There is such raft of boys over 80 that
it isn't worth while to mention them.
''Now for the big fellows: Ed Penn
was feet 4, and Josh was feet 2.
Robert Sullivan was feet 5. He had
two sons, Will and George, who were
feet and feet respectively. Mahlon
and Nelson were brothers, and each was
feet inches high. There was Richard
Sullivan, whom we used to call Long

sons, Ed and Perry, who are still living,
I both feet 2. DR.. Artemas Riggs was a
daisy. He was feet 5 inches tall,
| weighing 300 pounds, without an ounce
sof superfuous flesh, and was one of the

three men who were named William

SIGHTS IN BOMBAY.
ExOrbitant Prices Demanded by the
Trades-People of India.

ExOrbitant Prices Demanded by the
Trades-People of India.
Here is an example of the prices asked
in Bombay A friend of mine once took
a watch into one of these shops and
asked what was wrong with it,
ooh, nothing much" said the assist
ant; cit wants taking to pieces and set
ting to rights and regulating, and we
may keep it two or three days" He
was going to leave it without another
word, when it was suggested that he
might as we'll ask how much that ia
miliar opera ton would cost. He did, and
was told Is.
The next shop asked Ed 10s ''You
must remember, sir, that we do not
come out to India for change of air. re-
marked the shopman, severely. In the
end he discovered Parsi who asked
half a sovereign for the work and did it
well.
The Parsis are numerically weak,
numbering not more than $4,000 in all
India; but they are enormously wealthy
and influential, and Bombay owes much
of her prosperity to them.
One of the great sights is the native
town, and when the traveller has ceased
marveling at the color, the smells, the
picturesqueness, the variety, the hustle
and the extent of it, he Is most struck
at the Indifference of the inhabitants to
the distinction between road and path
way. Lads coming out of school, mer-
chants leaving their shops, bodies of
workmen streaming out of the factories,
all walk in the middle of the road and
leave the pathways deserted.
Suddenly carriage turns the corner
at a smart trot and plunges straight into
the middle of the chattering strolers,
who flee terror-stricken to the right and
left with every manifestation of sur
prise and alarm. They behave, in fact,
quite as if they had never seen such
thing happen before, instead of which
they have probably escaped sudden
death in the same way two or three
times every evening for the past ten
years.-Bombay Letter.

"A kINGLY EXAMPLE.
How Two American Boys Made the Ac-
quaintance of Denmark's King.

How Two American Boys Made the Ac-
quaintance of Denmarlx's King.
An exchange relates pleasing anec-
dote about two American boys travelling
in Europe. They were skylarking in
the streets of Copenhagen, and one boy
tossed the others hat into a tree. While
the victim was trying to dislodge it,
there cane along an old gentleman,
with umbrella under his arm and his
head buried in his book.
-'Please, SIR" said the hatless boy
!, f<will you get my hat ?'' The old gen
tleman fshed around with his umbrella
for about i've minutes, and failing to
dislodge the hat, allowed the boy to
meant his shoulders; and, with the UNI
bre8la, he finally captured the hat. AS
the boy dismounted and thanked the
old gentleman. another gentleman came
along, who saluted and called the one
With the umbrella, s'Your Majesty"
The boys were astonished to find that
they had in this unceremonious fashion
made the acquaintance of the King of
Denmark, and they think the King de-
serves the kingdom. In fact he is a
capital fellow. Ee loves to mingle with
the people in their amusements, and
there is no fol-de-rol of royalty about
him.
Now this little incident teaches a les
son that perhaps some of the Trovers
haven't learned: The King of DEN
mark is not the ONLY royal good fell
dow among the foreign nobility; there
are, in fact, na3nber of Dukes and
Earls who have really more demo-
cratic spirit than some of our untitled
Americans There are plenty of people
in this country, who haven't the rag of a
title, nor much else to distinguish them
except their manners, and the fact
that their fathers have managed to
scrape together a few dollars ahead of
their neighbers-yet who imagine that
they belong to ''the arisSocracy," and
put ON AL the airs of superior being.
Yet we are willing to forgive them be-
cause they are Americans; but really it
is easier to forgive any other kind of a
snob than an American sTsb, one who
has had all the advantages of being born
in this country.
When we compare fellow of 1this sort
with a scion of some titled European
family, who is at the same time gen.
demonstrating all whom he meets
with courtesy and consideration, Show
ing his good breeding alike to the
''noble lord" who dipes with him amd
the servant who waits on the table
when we make this comparison we see
that calling man an aristocrat doesn't
make him one.
The Trove boys and girls, in their
anxiety to be strong Americans, must
remember that a man may be rich or
titled under some foreign social system,
and still be supplemented, democratic
gentIeman-a citizen creditable to any
country: and another may spend most of
his time preaching about the rights of
the poor" yet not be half SO much a
friend to thera Az the first man, but a
low-bred, co,temptible fellow. What
ever mans surroundings "a mans
ma.l for a that. "---Treasuye-Trove.

TheEldea of the magnetic telegraph is

Mary Som erville, indeed, predicted that
before the end of the present century
we should probably possess a means of
recording and reproducing speech; 5ut
the Like connection turns ont to be far
older than that.
In the middle Of the seventeenth cent
ury d de Bergerac,a well-known French
writer Gf his day, and a forerunner OF
Jules Verne, published a fabulous &C
count OF a visit to the moon, which con-
tains an account of two mechanical
books left ID a city of the moon by a
visitor FROM the sun. In opening one of
these books the narrator states that he
found somewhat of metal almost like
to our clocks, flll OF | know not what
little spring and imperceptibl engines.
s1It was Book, indeed, but strange
and wonderful book that had neither
leaves nor letters. In fine it was book
made wholly for the ears and not the
eyes, so that when any body has a mind
ltC read it he winds up that machine
with "a great many little springs; then
he turps his hand to the chapter which
me desires to hear and straight as from

ment proceed all the distinct and differ

ABOUT NATURAL GIFTS.
No One Succeeds in a Vocation for Which
He Has No Liking.

He Has No Liking.
heard very cultivated lady once
remark that she would rather see her son
an eminent blacksmith than an unsec-
cessful lawyer. We can never succeed
in any vocation for which we have no
positive liking. 1t often requires sew
eral years to teach girl few airs on
the piano. and it is difficult to distin-
guish her landscapes from death-bed
scenes. No matter how snowy an ac-
complishment may be, nor how honora-
bic or remunerative certain calling is
considered, never put your children to
learn it unless they evince decided
talent. After years of uninteresting
toll and defeat, you will see them turn
to their God-given work. Apropos of
this subject, saw not long ago little
boy who.evinced the most decided talent
for drawing from nature. He could take
crayon pencil and slips of paper
and make picture of any of
your acquaintance, and you would read
lily recognize it. The same day I saw
him at table get his spoon fastened in
the handle of his cup. 1 watched him
intently. He tugged away manfully try
ing to extricate the spoon by pushing
the bowl part through. 1t seemed never
to occur to him to let the handle pass
through. That boy would never succeed
in any business requiring mechanical
genius. No use to try to make watch
maker or machinist of him.
There has been in the past too little
concentration in the education of girls.
They have studied too many things and
perfected nothing. While the course of
study should not be limited, they should
pay particular attention to that art or
science or branch of industry where
their tastes and talents stand as sign
board to point the way. Success will
depend almost entirely on the degree of
perfection attained and the degree of
earnestness which is carried into the
work.-W0man.
