THE HERMIT NATION.
Street Scenes in the Capital City
of Korea.
A Wheeled Vehicle Which, in Our Land
Would Be Called Unicycle-The
Minister of State with His
Official Retfnue.

We are all inclined to give ourselves
credit for originality in mechanical de-
vices, writes Robert E. Petit, of Phil
adelphia, in Good Roads, and among
other things the foundation principle
involved in the construction of a BIZ
cycle we all suppose to be modern; at
least dating within the present CEN
fury.
A few months ago, while on tramp
through northwestern Korea, spent
some time in Soel, the capital city.
This strange land of ''Choson," as it is
called by the neighboring Japanese
and Chinese, is peopled by probably
the most conservative nation on our
globe. The country itself is called,
suggestively: 1.-THE Land of the Morn
ing Calm" and the people: '"The Her
NIT Nation"
The peninsula of Korea occupies the
same relation, geographically, to Asia,
that Nova Scotia does to North Amer
lea, and with very much the same eli
mate. The country has been opened
to foreigners only since the recent date
of 1882, and up to that time had been
totally uninfiuenced by western civ
ilization; nor, indeed, have these con-
ditions materially changed since that
date.
The Koreans are of Tartar descent,
but totally different in every way from
the Japanese, who are their great enc
mics; and, although they pay tribute
to China, and have in past centuries
borrowed Chinese customs, they are
not at all like the modern Chinese.
They are so conservative that to-day
the dress and customs are not much
unlike those of two thousand years
ago.
From observation, and from inquiry
on the ground, found that there was
but one form of wheeled vehicle for
passenger purposes used in the land,
although a crude affair was used for
freight purposes in connection with
their splendid mild-eyed brown bulls.
One day, on my way home from look
ing at the kings procession, l passed

A NEGRO AS A MECHANIC,

Now a Free Man, He Dislikes Even the
Restraint of Apprenticeship.
Can the negro be trained as a me-
chanic, or is he by nature adapted to
other work than that of an unskilled
laborer? The question may, accord
ing to the North American Review
confidently be answered in the affirm
alive. While this answer cannot be
successfully controverted and while
it may have material bearing on the
prosperity of the southern states, yet
it involves grave questions, the sue
cessful solution of which would tend
to better understanding of the two
sections of this great nation. The
negro was held in bondage in all the
of the federal constitution, and
whether or not he was the prime
cause of the greatest war of modern
times, it is unquestionably true that
he regards his liberation as the result
of that struggle. Prior to the war
there was a large number of negro
mechanics in the southern states.
Many of them were expert black
smiths, wheelwrights, wagonmakers,
brickmasons, carpenters, plasterers,
painters and shoemakers. They be-
came masters of their respective
trades by reason of sufficiently long
service under tee control and direction
of expert white mechanics. During
the existence of slavery the contract
for qualifying the negro as mechanic
was made between his owner and the
master workman. Now the negro, be-
ing, in his own words, ''free fnlan, y
will not consent to restraints He can
not divest himself of the idea that ap-

STREET SCENE IN KoREA-MINIsTER OF
STATE WITH HIS OFFICIAL RETINUE.

STATE WlTH HIS OFFICIAL E.
along the principal street of Soel,
which crosses the city of 100000 in
habitants from the northwest to the
east gate.
Near the broad, intersecting avenue,
100 feet wide, which leads to the king S
palace, my attention was arrested by
hearing and seeing a great crowd of
white-robed men suddenly rush out of
a side street, shouting and gesticulat-
ing in frantic manner. They were
followed by another crowd of men with
the ''Kasi' or big married mems hats
on their heads, tied by ribbon under
their chins. In the midst of these fell
lows was very strengthening affair
The men who went before were at
PENDANTS of a minister of state.
They shouted for people to clear the
track. The officer was seated on the
Korean official wheel chair, and it was
unicycle.
He looked as if he realized the I'M
certain situation in which he was
placed, and while seated on the official
leopard S skin was certainly victim OF
the customs of his country.
We are apt to think that this coun-
try and this modern age have all the
novelties of mechanical and scientific
nature. We think our bicycles new
idea, but here are the far-off Koreans,
whom we have looked upon as bar
barous or semi-civilized, which they
really are, who ''go' us one better, be-
cause they use but one wheel, and have
been using it for many centuries.

SMASHED THE CRYSTAL.
Curious to Know Whether an Oft-Re
peated Tale Was True.

Curious to Know Whether an Oft-Re-
peated Tale Was True.
To say what you mean and mean
what you say is a good rule to follow
always. An amusing story which illus
trates the value of this course was told
some years ago by an old gentleman
who was visiting rolling mill for the
first time. He had heard wonderful
stories of the machinery in the mill,
and he was DESTROYS of putting some of
them to test.
II have been told," said he to the
hammer man, as he watched the great
steam hammer rising and falling. ''that
agood hammer man can break the crys-
tai of watch with that thirty-ton
hammer"
eyes, SIR" said the hammer man: sit
can be done"
II should like to see it." said the old
gentleman, eagerly feeling in his watch
pocket.
81 can do it, SIR"
'And will you?" said the visitor,
drawing out his watch. "Come, am
anxious to see it tried"
He laid his watch on the great anvil
plate, the hammer rose to it's full height,
and the next instant all its ponderous
weight, with a-crushing force that
shook the ground for an acre round.
came down on the watch.
'There, SIR" said the hammer man.
quietly, eff you don't believe that crys-
tai is broken, just stoop down and you
can see it sticking to the hammer"
The curious old gentleman swallowed
whole procession of Jumps and gasps
before he could speak.
''But 1 forgot to say" he exclaimed,
''that it was to break the crystal with
out injuring the watch
''Oh, yes,'' said the hammer man
Eyes, I know; I have heard that rub
bish myself, but it's all CANNON. l
don't believe it. But you can break
the crystal every time"
If the visitor had said what he meant
he would undoubtedly have saved his
watch but it must be confessed that if
the hammer man had not been one of
the meanest men in the world he would
have saved it anyhow. -Harper's Young
