coREAN WARRIOR.

Numerous attachments were made by
the japanese armorcr to the original coat

and protecting the vital organs. In fes

hamper the movements. The helmet was
generally shallow, with a mask before the
face, made to look as gruesomc as posi-

In Corean armor we see another material
used for defence. Tho ancient Corean
soldier wore coat OF great weight and
thickness, made up of thirty-two layers
,of course cotton cloth. Tho helmet is
padded and iron bound. On the outside
of the front and rear pads forming tho
coat are painted protecting sentences
from Buddhist prayer books. This kind
of armor was PROBABLY introduced from

against Mexican soldiers equipped in
coats padded with cotton or stuffed with
salt. The Bornec African soldiers also

horses with the same material.

Honduras Has New Stamps Annually.

Tho Government OF Honduras changes
its posta! stamps annually The design
of the stamps this year is pretty, much
more elaborate and striking than the
stamps of any Of the other Spanish
American republics. The Postmaster
General, Mr.. Burt Cecil, speaking of this,
said: SIT is because it is no expense to
the Government at all that we make the
change every year. Honduras has con.
tract with large engraving concern in
New York to furnish us with all the
stamps ofall denominations we want and
of any design we select, free, we simply
to return at the end of each year all the
unused stamps and to receive fresh sup.
ply of the new designs. The New York
house makes its profit from the stamp
collectors. There are tens Of thousands
of these cranks all over the world. At
Che end of each year uncanceled Hondu-
rian stamps of that year can only be had
from the New York engravers. They,
having monopoly, make the collectors
paw roundly, and, hear, make good
thing out of it. "-M,o York Press.

Romance of Maud s.

It isprctty generally known that Cap
tain George N. Stone, Of Cincinnati, was
the original owner of the famous marc,
Maud S. The following incident, showing
that it vas mere chance which made her
his property may not be so familiar.
Captain Stone and IL fellow townsman,
Mr.. H., decided to go down into the
kentucky Blue Grass region and see what
they could pick up in the way of fine
yearling colts. They each wanted one.
Now Mr.. Ii. was man noted for his
shrcwdncss and ability to get the best of
everything for the least money. After
slsirmishing around among tho stock
farms two such animals rs they wcro
looking for were obtained and shipped
to the Ohio River, TO be sent to Cincin-
natl on the steamboat. It was curious
coincidence that the two horses cost the
same, and, moreover, rcscmblcd each
other very strongly.
The two gentlemen went back to Gin
cinnati by rail, and were present on the
arrival of the boat which brought their
purchases. AS the horses were brought
down the gang plank, the first one APP
peared with its coat in good condition
and spirits way up. The second was
rather rough coated from rubbing against
the stall, and came meckly along. Mr..
H. sized up these appearances and said
he guessed he'd take his colt up himself,
at the same time reaching forward fol
the halter of the first horse. Captain
Stone said: "H., think that one il
NINE"
sob, no, it isn't, Stone" replied II
81 remember minc had smooth coat Of
hair"
swell, all right" remarked the nc
comodating Stone. 81 guess there's MOI
much difference The horses cost thu
same and arc the same age. Trot hel
OFF,"
Captain Stone took his colt home, anG
when his daughter saw the meek little
animal she Immediately took fancy t.
it and made pet of it. SO her father
called it after her name, "Maud s." Il
is perhaps needless to say that HIS col
has never been heard FROM Cincinnati
Enquirer.

shoulders with bands of buckslkin. A
stonc-headed arrow like these people
used o few years ago would DO harmless
against this fence of hard wood sticks.
They also made odd looking coats of
thick elkskiu almost capable of stopping
bullet at medium range. Further north
this variety of skin-armor is painted with
grotesque Alaskan figures in glaring col

The Alaskan helmet is also strikingly

An Alcutian skin coat in tho National

ornament and protection. 1t is covered
over with brass Chinese coin called

would DO interesting to know how tho
