Seven Remarkable Things to Be
Seen in That Country,

Seven Remarkable Things to Be
Seen in That Country.
Corea, like the world ofthe ancients,
has its seven wonder" Briefly stat
ed they are as follows, writes acorres-
pondent of the St. Louis Republic:
First, hot mineral spring near
Kin-Shantao, the healing properties
of which are believed to be miraculous.
No matter what disease may afiict
the patient, dip in the water proves
efficacious.
The second wonder is two springs
situated at a considerable distance
from each other; in fact, they have
the breath of the entire peninsula be-
tween them. They have two peculiar
tiles. When one is full the other is al
ways empty; and, notwithstanding
the obvious fact that they are con-
nected by subterraneanp passage, one
is OF the bltterest bitter and the other
pure and sweet.
The third wonder is Cold Wave
cave, a cavern from which a wintry
wind perpetually blows. The force of
the wind from the cave is such that a
strong man cannot stand before it.
A forest that cannot be eradicated
is the fourth wonder. No matter
what injury is done to the roots ofthe
trees, which are large pines, they will
sprout up again directly, like thepho-
nix from her ashes.
The fifth is the most wonderful of
ALL 1t is the famous Floating stone. I"
1t stands, or seems to stand, in front
of the palace erected in its honor 1t
is an irregular cube of-great bulk. 1t
appears to be resting on the ground,
free from supports ON all sides, but,
strange to say, two men at opposite
ends of a rope may pass it under the
stone without encountering any OBJ
stacle whatever.
The sixth wonder is the hot stone. :
which, from remote ages, has lain
glowing with heat on the top OF high
hill.
The seventh and last Corean wonder
is a drop OF the sweat of Buddha.
For so PAGES around the large temple
in which it is enshrined not blade of
grass will grow. There are no trees or
flowers inside the sacred square.
Even the animals decline to profane a
spot so holy.

REvEALEDIN DREAM.
How SoldIer's Father Recovered
the Remains of His Son.

How a soldIer's Father Recovered
the Remains of His SON.
One of the bloodiest battles fought
on Georgia soil during thelate war was
that OF Resaca, says the Atlanta, Ga.
Journal. Among the many patriot
youths who took arms in defense of
southern independence was the eight
teen-year-old son Of Jethro Jackson
of Griffin, Ga, and the brave boy met
his death at the battle of Resaca. He
was dearly beloved by his comrades,
and they gave him little better bur-
ial than usually falls to, the lot of
those who die upon the field Of bat
tie. With rough boards taken from
the bridge near by they made him
rude coffin, and tenderly and lovingly
placed him under the sod.
1t was some time in the spring of
1866 that Jethro Jackson went to
Resaca to look for the grave of his
son. He wished to find the remains
and to take them to Griffin and enter
them in the family burying ground.
The comrades who laid young Jack
son to rest gave the father the descrip-
ton ofthe spot where they had buried
him, telling him about the rude pine
coffin made from the boards taken
from the bridge. After many days of
tireless search Mr.. Jackson failed to
locate his sons grave and returned to
his home in Griffin.
A few nights after his return he
/ dreamed that his son came to him and
pointed out the spot where he was
buried. The dream was like vision.
de saw his son standing beside his bed
and heard him say:
| Father, | am buried under o mound
which was thrown up by the Yankees
after was killed. You viii know the
mound when you see it by the poke
berry bushes growing upon it. Go and
take me up and carry me home to
mother"
SO strong an impression did this
dream make upon Mr.. jackson that
he returned at once to Resaca, taking
with him one OF the comrades who had
buried his son. The mound wasfound
lust as described in the dream, and the
pokeberries were growing upon it. An
excavation was made, and a few feet
below the earth the rough pine coffin
wasfound, and init were the remains of
young jackson. He was fully identi-
fed, not only by the coffin and the
shoes, but by the name which was Cd
the clothing.

HOPE IS A FLOWER.

Hope IS flower. the bloom Of an hour,

To drive dull despair to his Cimmerian lair,
And make each to-day asilyer-tippeds spray,
That will kiss the red blush Of the NOR

That beckons for something beyond.

Where is beauty will cling, the same

The following remarkable story,
told by an eye witness, is entitled to
a place among the instances Of inteli-
cence among the lower animals. A
cook was much annoyed to find his
pastry shelves attacked by ants. BY
careful watching il Yas discovered
that they came out twice a day III

long, for at 6;50 o'clock he noticed
that off IN the left hand corner of the
pantry was line OF ants slowly maxi
ing their way in the direction of the

coming forth to attack the enemy. In

than any of the Others, and who al
ways kept little ahead OF his troops.
They were OF the sort known as the
mediumsized red ant, which is regard
ed as the most intelligent of its kind,
whose scientific name is formica ru-
bra.
About 40 ants out OF 500 stepped
out and Joined the leader. Thegeneral
and his aids held council, and then
proceeded to examine the circle of
molases. Certain portions of il seem
ed to be assigned TO the different ants,
and each selected unerringly the point
in the section under his charge where
the stream of molasses was narrowest.
The order TO march was given, and
the ants all made their way to hole
in the wall in which the plastering was
loose,
Here they broke ranks and set
about carrying pieces Of plaster to
the place in the molasses which had
been agreed upon as the narrowest.
TO and fro they went from the nail
hole to the molasses until, at 11;3o
o'clock they had thrown a bridge
across. They then formed themselves
in line and marched over, and by

Cost OF Fashionable Living.

Ward McAllister's latest contribu
ton TO current literature undertakes
to tell what it cnsts to live in upper
tendon. His figures are rather start
ling. He tells, for example. that he
knows OF at least four men in this
country who spend annually s40O, 900.
This includes their charities and tn
interest on the capital invested on
their town and country houses Then
there are about thirty men who spend
from SlOO, 900 to sl50, 600 year, though
Mr.. McAIlister tells as these men are
realty no happier than the man who
lives on $50 200, which McAllister
thinks about the right figure to en-
able a man to maintain his esta blish-
ment in style and dispense elegant
hospitality. AS for the average fash.
ionable woman, we are told that she
spends from 81, 900 to So 900 year on
her toilet and generally manages to
look handsome.
