ing their turn. This barber knew nothing
about water aud soap, but he had prob
ably heard something of the French
shaving cream, parfumee Ia rose, and
was using mud instead.
Through the mud and the dirt we
reached the Corean town. There the
houses are not over eight feet high. In
fact they are not houses, but simply large
"huts," where people sleep pele.mele.
Streets can hardly be said to exist; they
are but narrow, dirty passages between
the houses. If our eyes could ever for.
get the sight that greeted them, our nos
trils will surely never get over the diff
terent aensations they experienced that
day. 1 tried to recall to mind the worst
thing ever smelt in America and felt it
would be extract of violets com pared to
the odors that met US here. Several
times some of us felt like fainting, and
it required all our energy not to give up.
The dirtiest man in the States would feel
as clean rs a new dime over here. By
the way, silver and gold coins or paper
money do not exist in Cores. The only
coin they have IS called "cash." 1t is
made of copper, as large as one of our
fifty. cent pieces, and it requires ten of
them to maks one cent! To carry two
dollars one must get horse, and the pile
the cash makes looks twice as large as
the little quadruped.
By this time VIC were in the middle of
the city, followed by hundreds of men,
women, children and barking dogs. We
arrived opposite large gate surmounted
by heavy Chinese roof. In front were
| a number of stone steps, which we began
to ascend. We had hardly reached the
top when dozens of men rushed on us,
| and by their gestures made us understand
that we could 60 no further. We
dreaded to retreat, and on reaching the
last steps l thought of taking photo
graph of that entrance gate. 30 l
turned around with my kodak in posi-.
ton, wholly innocent of the excitement
it was to create. Guardians of the
place-men, women, children and dogs
fled in ali directions, wild with fear.
They surely thought it was gun, and
that, provoked at not being admitted,
the "foreign devils" were going to bonn
bard the place.

Electrical Rain.

Rain which on touching the ground
crackles and emits electric sparks is
q very uncommon but not unknown
phenomenon. An instance of the kind
was recently reported from Cordova, in
Spain, by an electrical engineer who
witnessed the occurrence. The weather.
had been warm and undisturbed by wind,
and soon after dark the sky became
overcast by clouds. At about 9
O'Clock there came fash of lightning.
followed by great drops of electrical
rain, each one of which on touching the
ground, walls or trees gave faint crack
and emitted spark of light. The phe-
nomenon continued for several seconds,
ana apparently ceased as soon as the at
mosphere was satuated with MOISTURE

our surprise, however when we learned
that they were young men. They all
seemed to US the dirtiest looking people
we have ever seen. The children we're
altogether nude, while the grown people
were all dressed in white linen clothes.
When cay "white," use mere figure
of speech, and I would be nearer the
truth III saying that they had clothes
which used to be white, but which had
never been washed since the day they
were worn for the first time.
The reason why Coreans wear white is
that when member of the royal family
CT Of the royal court dies, every man
and woman in the country must 90 into
mourning, and they must wear white
or black while in mourning, and as the
period OF sorrow continues three years,
they never get out of it..

A TidelasS Sea.

For practical purposes the Mediterran-
can may be accepted as being what it is
popularity supposed to be, tideless sea,
but it is not so in reality. In many
places there is distinct rise and fall,
though this is more frequently due to
winds and currents than to lunar attrac.
ton.
At Venice there is rise Of from one
to two feet in spring tides, according to
the prevalence of winds up or down the
Adriatic. In many straits and narrow
arms OF the sea there is periodical fux
and reaux, but the only place where the
tidal influence, properly so called. is un.
mistaksbly observed is in the Gulf oi
Gabes, where the tide runs at the rate Of
two or three knots an hour and the ris'
and fall varies from three to eight feet.

The Banaua Butterfly.

There is beautiful butterfly having
large white wings dotted with red. and
body of delicate pink tint, which is
often found in banana ships. Among
those who handle the be snanas it has a
good name, for it is thought to bring
good luck to the persons on whom 1t

While the punches of bananas are
piled on the seashore waiting to be
slowed away in vessels many queer things
find their way among them. Sea shells
of great beauty are sometimes found by
the wurkmen. .-American Farmer.

from a log pile. Wondering what it
could be, he removed the logs one by

he was Mortified to see mighty serpent,

they are generally a trife cleaner than
the average Corean. We saw two OF

and clad in white linen. They did not

not notice that they carried weapons.

Hill Coming to Spokane.

President Hill, of the Great
Northern is on his way to Spokane
and is expected there the end of
the week. He will complete the
final arrangements for beginning
business in that city. Mixed trains
are to be run between Havre, Mont.
and Spokane twice every week, on
Sundays and Wednesdays, the rest
of this month. A regular daily
passenger service will not be com
menced before August 1.
Few cars are to be used on the
through trains and there will be a
first-class dining car service, equal
to the Northern Pacific. Tourist
and immigrant sleepers as well as
Pullmans will be run.
The time of the trains will be
faster than the Northern, and as
the road is shorter and the grades
lighter, the time saved between
Spokane and st Paul will be twelve
hours.

free milling gold and silver An
assay gives 116 OF. silver and $18
gold to the ton.
The steamer Ainsworth has gone
to Pilot Bay.
The new wharf has succumbed to
the united attacks of steamboats,
and waves. Owing to the nature
of the bed Of the lake the piles
lifted and the wharf does not now
exist.
G. Chambers has sold his one
eighth interest in the SLOGAN Star
to White Bros, for, it is stated,
$4,000. Messrs. White now own
the whole claim which, according
to the unanimous reports of all
who have seen it, is one of the most
marvellous surface showings ever
discovered.
Building in Kaslo is proceeding
briskly. Carney & Barrett's
