The Corean Army.

The colors used in the new Corean uni
form are different from those of any of the
armies of Christendom. The shlrtllke
waists are of purple cotton, faced with red;
the hats are black, and there is bright
red band about them. The pantaloons are
purple, and the feet are swathed in great
white boots of padded cotton.
During my stay at the Corean capital the
native general -in-chief invited me to attend
a review of the troops. | rode in chair
borne by four big hated Coreans to the
drill grounds at the edge of the palace, and
saw 400 soldiers go through all sorts of evo-
lutions, most of which seemed to be those
of the gymnasium rather than those SET
| down in military tactics.
The general would give command, anC
every soldier would lift his leg and hold II
at right angles to his body until anothe
word brought it to the ground again
There was the raising of the arm, tn
throwing out of the fists, and other eXer
cises which many school children OF tn
| United States practice daily.

Peruvian Wool Fabrics.

Peruvian wooden fabrics were of three
kinds-a coarse wooden cloth, which they
called avasca, which formed the raiment OF
the common people; finer variety, called
compi, worn by the captains and officials,
and still another, also called compi, but of
much finer quality, reserved for the use OF
persons of royal blood. Specimens of this
cloth, still preserved, reveal fneness OF
texture and an exquisite finish which
modern ingenuity rarely equals. Both
sides of these cloths were woven alike. The
delicacy of the texture gave it the luster OF
silk. while the brilliancy of the dyes EN-
ployed excited the envy and admiration OF
/ the European artisan.
The Peruvians made also shawls, robes
carpets, coverlets and hangings in grea
varieties of patterns. They knew now u
produce an article of great strength ant
durability by mixing the hair OF animal
with the fleece of their llamas.-S. N.

The Eortune of Law.

A good story is told of Mr.. c. M. Dix,
the Newcastle solicitor, who made himself
50 conspicuous in the Silksworth eviction
cases.
A series of burglaries had been perpe-
trated in the vicinity of Newcastle-upon-
Tyne, and at last the thieves were captured.
Mr.. Dix was duly instructed to defend the
men, and so admirably did he exercise his
legal ingenuity that, notwithstanding the
fact that a book was found in the posses
sion of one of the men wherein were en-
tered the various cribs cracked" and
"cribs to he cracked" merely nominal
penalty was enforced, solely through the
clever pleading of Mr.. Dix.
After the case had been heard Mr.. Dix
moved by curiosity, leisurely proceeded &c
peruse the contents of the book mentioned
and his surprise, not to say disgust, may
be more readily imagined than described
for among the "cribs cracked figured No
-, F Road, Mr.. Dix's own house
| which had been broken into short tint
| previously, and from which some valuable
| plate had been stolen.-London Tit-Bits.

This story is a warning to mistresses
who are not quite sure of their own knowl-
edge. Under such conditions discreet
and unquestioning silence is the proper at
titude. The mistress who didn't observe
it is the heroine of this tale. She had lived
in a suburban town in a modest way, but
not long ago she came in for fortune, and
she set up Il tremendous establishment and
anchored its success to a solemn faced but
Ter, with whose assistance she proceeded to
give a magnificent dinner to some friends
that came up from the city. With the
soup she missed the butter. James" she
said, there is no butter" James took no
notice.
"There is no butter, James," she said
again
James gave no sign.
At last she said, rather peremptorily
James, bring he butter"
Then the guests saw the butler cross tC
his mistress side, and they heard him dis
tinctly as he whispered, without change
in his face, Hit hisnt good form, mum.

Habit and Eating Houses.

When a man has created habit of eat
ing at a certain place he thinks of that par
ticular place whenever he gets hungry. He
may have begun by accident, have secured
a good seat, good waiter, or got acquaine
ed with the proprietor, or got same favor
tie dish to his taste, or met agreeable PEG
pie. Some Insignificant thing struck him
favorably. In few days he goes there by
habit. He gets angry and dissatisfied
every now and then and tries another
place, but he finds drawbacks everywhere
and goes back again. Habit is stronger
than the attractions of superior food and
cookery-stronger than money considera
tions. II it were not for habit the goot
will of hotel or a newspaper would bt
worthless, and scores of restaurants around
town would be closed in month. New

WANDERING BOTTLES ON tbs SEA
Experiments Which Have Proved Deal

About Ocean Currents.
or all the wonders that those who go
down to the sea in ships are brought in
contact with, none is so unfathomable or
incomprehensible as those mighty rivers
that flow through the ocean and are known
as streams where they are well denned,
and as currents where they are not. The
United States photographic Office mas
been making, in the last few years, series
of experiments calculated to test fully the
theory of streams and currents In the
North Atlantic. Lieutenant Nazro mas
among his treasures in the branch hydro
graphic office in this city little bottle
which once held half pint of whisky
Subsequent to that it held paper saying
that it was dropped overheard from the
steamship Cephalonia 400 miles east of
Boston. 1t was brought into this port
| two years after it was dropped overheard
! by a schooner from Ambergrs Key, little
| island in the Bahama group.
| The bottle, with its paper inside, had
| proved the theory of ocean currents. 1t
| had followed the Gulf Stream until it had
been caught by that current which sweeps
to the south along the coasts or eastern
Europe and northern Africa had been car
ried thence to the westward until 1t en-
tered the Caribbean sea, then passed be-
| tween the western end Of Cuba and cape
Gracias Dios, the eastern extremity OF
Yucatan, and, having made the circuit oil
, the Gulf of Mexico, was washed ashore on
the western end of Ambergris Key.
Other bottles which have been dropped
overheard by outgoing steamers have, as O
} rule, been as satisfactory in the result OF
) their drift as the bottle from the Cepha
, lonia, but some of them have developed
, marked eccentricities in their voyages
!, Thus, one which was thrown overheard
from the steamship Aller off Cape Race
the southeastern extremity OF Newfound
land, seems to have made a "bee line" TO
the Azores, where it was picked up on thu
+, beach near Fayal. In its voyage 1t wen
directly across the Gulf Stream, and tol
0 lowed a current never before suspected.
+ A bottle dropped overheard by the steam
Q ship Sandman about 300 miles southeas
u of Cape Farewell, the southern extremit
of Greenland, was picked up on the shore
of Norway, and one dropped overboar'
about 200 miles off the coast of Scotlan
(, was found in nearly the same place. Bot
If of these bottles, journeying toward tn
n Land of the Midnight Sun, had shown
strong current setting from the North Al
E. lantic on the Norwegian shores.
4 The general result so far seems to B
L. that "A strong current sets from the eas
he upon the shores of the British isles, and
is strong one rushes into the Caribbean sc
"a from the Atlantic. This is fact lon
s. maintained by writers on physical geoi
n raphy, but never before demonstrated as
I'd has been by the photographic office. 81
al the experiments of the photographic ofii'
he have also developed the fact that variot
other subsidiary currents, acting over
X, large space, exist which were not befoi
to suspected. New York Tribune.

Protection Against Furnace Heat

The protection of workmen from fur
mace heat, as practiced at the Menden
and Schwerte iron works, in Westphalia,
is said to be by means of a rectangular
iron screen hung from an overhead rail,
which can be made to cover the whole
working side of the furnace, or can be
pushed aside when not required or when
it interferes with the work going on.
The lower end is bent into gutter, hav-
ing slight fall in the direction of it's
length, and the upper edge is provided
on the inside, that nearest the furnace,
with a pipe bored through with small
holes about three-quarters of an inch
apart, which is in connection with the
service pipe supplying water for cooling
the sides of the bed.
When In use, the inside of the place is
kept constantly wet from the supply
pipe, the small jets trickling down to
the cooling bosh at the side; notch at
the bottom is left for the passage of the
rabble, and short inclined plate is pro-
vided for the cinders to run over; with
these exceptions the whole surface is
screened by the water cooled plate. Tt
is said that this arrangement, which
was first applied experimentally to a
few furnaces, has worked so satisfacto-
rily that it has been fitted to all the pud-
ding furnaces in the works named, the
operatives being thus enabled to work
full time even in the hottest weather.
