The Corean Army.

The colors used in the new Corean uni
form are different from those Of any of the
armies of Christendom. The shirthke
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 swsthed in great
white boots Of padded cotton
During my stay st the Corean capital the
native geDeral-in-chief invited me to attend
a review of the troops l rode in chair
borne by four big hated Coreans TO the
drill grounds at the edge of the palace, and
saw 400 soldiers 20 through all sorts Of evo-
lutions, most Of which seemed 70 be those
OF the gymnasium rather than those set
down in military tactics.
The general would give command, and
every soldier would lift his leg and hold it
at right angles TO his body until another
word brought it 70 the ground again.
There was the raising OF the arm, the
throwing out Of the fists, sno other ezer-
cises which many school children OF the
United States practice daily.
The soldiers OF Corea act as the police ot
the capital The city Of Sseul contains
about sc. coo people, most Of whom live in

The LIVER and the Legs.

The liver depends upon the legs for ex-
ercise. The movement of the body keeps
the liver from becoming torpid. A torpid
liver and gastric disorders cause unsettled
nerves and painful and frequent headaches
All these things come from the faat that
the legs and the liver are not exercised
enough, that the various digestive juices
have not been absorbed by the system. 1t
has been demonstrated in the case of bile,
which is absorbed with great rapidity from
the intestines and re-excreted by the liver,
that it does not pass into the general cir
culation at all.
As the liver gets its principal power from
the activity of the body, it will be seen
that the proper distribution of the gastric
juices and oils which aid digestion is de-
pendent more upon the steps a woman
takes and the manner in thich they are
taken, than upon the quality and quantity
of the food consumed. - Jenness-M Miller

ESCAPE OF PRISONERS.

The report that prisoners have been and
are constantly escaping from that mallg-
roborated by the self.liberated captives.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are, they say,
the means by which they get rid of their
fetters. Few altogether avoid the bondage
of this ailment, and few are unacqualnted
with its signs, viz: pain through the right
side and shoulder blade, furred tongue,
yellowness of the eyebaIls and skin, sour
breath, sick headache. dyspepsia and cou-
stipation. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
puts prompt period to these, brings them
to full stop in short order Whether the
trouble is chronic or temporary, this med1-
cine is equally effective, regulating the
liver and bowels thoroughly. 1t is like
wise sovereign remedy for rheumatism;
kidney complaint, malaria, heartburn and
nervousness.

CAMDEN. n. j., June 9-The dead body
Of beautiful young woman was found
floating in the Delaware river above the
Vine street ferry landing this morning.
On the body was found receipted bill in
the name of Blanche Humphreys. No
other clue was discovered. The young
woman was seen by ferry deck hand to
cross the river on the ferry boat from
Philadelphia to this city in company with
two rough-lookinE men. Shortly after
wards they went back and later on the
three came over again. Near miSnight
the men returned to Philadelphia without
the womsn. Mrs. Coleman, who resides
near the river, states that near midnight
she heard a scream and voice CRY ont,
For Gods sake. DON'T and then she
heard a splash. No marks of violence
were found on the body except two bruises
on the right leg.
The police have learned that the dead
woman worked for Mrs. Edenburn, a
dressmaker in Philadelphia, by whom she
was also known as Carrie Burroughs. Mrs.
Eoenburn says the woman had been in her
employ about six weeks. She left the
house between and o'clock Monday
evening. The woman had said that her
home was in Shamokin, Pa The police
are inclined to the theory of suicide

The Waiters Did 1t,

The waiter was expecting mis- usual tip,
and when the young man had gathered up
all of the change except dime, Of course
he reached for it. But the young man
stopped him.
You don't get those now" he said; 1--WE
got use for them"
Then he reached down in his pocket,
pulled ont patent pocket dime savings
bank and slipped the corn into it.
Sorry for you. Charles" he continued;
''if had any nickels you'd get the usual
tip"
II s'pose so, replied the darky gloom
ily. Those patent things is most drivin'
me to ruin. A quahter's too much, and
there amt any mo- dimes, an don't git
nothin' but nickels, and mighty few Of
them But never mind, sab; kin tx it,

And the next day he changed bill for
the young man and gave him one dollar in
nickels
Mos afraid you'd run snort, sab" +" he
said; 'ain't got a dime in the house. Don't
keep 'ena no mo-. Can't afford it, no how. :"

WANDERING BOTTLES ON THE SEA.
Experiments Which Have Proved a Deal
About Ocean Currents.

Experiments Which Have Proved Deal
About Ocean Currents.
Of all the wonders that those who 60
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 we'll defined,
and as currents where they are not. The
United States photographic Office has
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 has
among his treasures in the branch hydro
graphic office in this city little bottle
which once held a half pint of whisky.
Subsequent to that it held paper saying
that it was dropped overheard from the
steamship Cephslonia 400 miles east OF
Boston. It was brought into this port
two years after it was drc 0ed overheard
by a schooner from Anbergris Key, a little
island in the Bahama group.
The bottle, with it's 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 of eastern
ried thence to the westward until it 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 of
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
1la haan eoStSfaotnrv in the racnlt nf
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 ''bee line" for
the Azores, where it was picked up on the
beach near Fayal. In its voyage it went
directly across the Gulf Stream, and fol-
lowed a current never before suspected.
A bottle dropped overheard by the steam
ship Sandman about 800 miles southeast
of Cape Farewell, the southern extremity
Of Greenland, was picked up on the shores
of Norway, and one dropped overheard
about 200 miles off the coast of Scotland
was found in nearly the same place Both
of these bottles, journeying toward the
Land of the Midnight Sun, had shown
! strong current setting from the North At
lantic on the Norwegian shores.
The general result so far seems to be
that a strong current sets from the east
upon the shores of the British isles, and a
strong one rushes into the Caribbean sea
from the Atlantic. This is a fact long
maintained by writer's on physical geog-
raphy, bat never before demonstrated as it
has been by the photographic Office But
the experiments of the photographic Office
have also developed the fact that various
other subsidiary currents, acting over
| large space, exist which were not before
! suspected--New York Tribune.

1 CHICAGO, June 9-Albert Eugle, known
as Count Schoffner. appeared in the police
court this morning under a serious charge
He secured the keys TO a vacant house in
the fashionable quarter, into which he
enticed young women, on the representa-
tion that he was a merchant from China
and had lot of valuable silks which he
was giving away, being unable to sell
them. Having got them inside the door,
he would make indecent proposals to them,
and, II met with resistance, would flash a
murderous looking knife and threaten to
cut them in pieces and put them IN a large
trunk which he had in one of the rooms.
Two Of the victims broke away, and ran
screaming to the neighbors for protection.
One of them was in court this morning,
and on her evidence the prisoner was fined
heavily and held TO await further develop
ments.

THE KFVSTONF BANK.

PHILADELPHIA, 'June 9.-The sub-com-
mittee Of the council which is investigat-
ing the affairs of ex-Treasurer Bardsley
met again today. Mark II. Davis. secre-
tary and treasurer of the Bradford Mills
company practically owned by Bardsley)
testified that since June ]. 1889. to May Is,
1891, Bardsley had transmitted to him
$3.50. 200 to be used in the companys bust
ness. Davis did not suspect that
this was not BardSley's money because
the latter prior to 1889 had given him
S122, 200 for the same purpose.
Charles Lawrence, assistant cashier OF
the keystone, bank, testified that he knew
nothing of Bardsley's transactions with
the bank. He testified that he had, after
the death of John c. Lucas, president of
the bank, made alterations in the books to
cover Lucas oveTdrafts. At the time of
the run on the bank he told The directors
that Lucas Indebtedness was a million
dollars. He and President Marsh took every
precaution to keep this knowledge from
Bank Examiner Drew, by false entries and
tickets.
Samuel c. Lucas, a director Of the bank,
and brother of the deceased president,
testified that neither he nor his sister-ln-
law believed Lucas Indebtedness to the
bank to be so large as was claimed. They
had paid 5000 900 to raise the cloud that
was over the good name of John G.. Lucas.
John 3. Davis, who was offered the pres
idency of the bank, and who made an inves-
tigation Of the banks affairs, testified that
Lucas owed the bank S6O000 In making
an examination Of the banks affairs be
noticed that persons, whose names were
known to him. were indebted to the bank
for s400, 900. This he was told was prop
erly chargeable against the Lucas estate.
The committee adjourned until tomor-
row.
