How COrean Troops Are Drilled.

On the recent ARRIVAL at Chemulpi,
Corea, of the United States steamer
Marion, Commander Gridley, accom-
panied by three of his officers, paid an
official visit to Seoul, where they were
the guests of United States Minister Au-
gustine Heard, at whose request His
Majesty, King Ii Fin, granted private
audience to the officers and assured the
commander of his friendship for the
United States. The officers were also in-
vited to witness the drill of a battalion
of Corean soldiers, whose military bear
ing was specially noticeable, as were also
the precision and excellence of their
drill.
Two companies of 1So men each took
part in the evolutions, which were per-
formed according to Upton's tactics.
The manual of arms, wheelings and
marching in quick and in double time
were admirably performed. The file
closers all carried long handled clubs, or
paddles, instead of rifles, like the rest.
The officers curiosity regarding the use
of these paddles was soon satisfied. A
poor devil in the rear rank, who brought
his piece to shoulder arms" instead of
"order arms" was instantly pounced
upon by two burly file closers, Knocked
down and given a beating that must
have made his bones ache for month.
He made no more mistakes that day.
This interesting diversion was repeated
several times.-New York Herald.

Pests of Australian Farmers.

The Australian farmers have many
enemies to fight against, besides those
which have been imported into the coun-
try, like the rabbit. Large fruit eating
bats DO much damage 70 the orchards, and
it is pleasant sight for the industrious
agriculturist to see devouring swarms of
these SC. called flying foxes advancing on
his crops of au evening. Wild dogs were
formerly very numerous, but they did so
much damage that they were destroyed
without mercy. On large plantations .
man is kept whose sole work is to lay
out poison for them. One of the greatest
annoyauces in certain parts of Australia
is the poisonous nettle or ''stinging
tree" 1t is SO poisonous that if its
beautiful heart shaped leaves are only
put in motion they cause one to sneeEe.
They are covered with nettles on both
sides, and sting from them gives great
pain. Horses wounded by them roll as
il mad with pain, and il they do not at
once receive attention they will in this
way kill themselves. es.-Chieago Times.

The Vegetable Fly.

One Of the most curious productions
Of the West Indies is the famed vegeta
BILE fly, an insect about the size OF a
dTone bee, but without wings. In the
month Of May it buries itself in the earth
and begins TO vegetate. By the begin
ming of June sprout has issued from
the creatures back and made its appear
ance upon the surface of the grouuj.
By the end of July the tiny tree
Cknown on the island as the fy tree) has
attained its full size, being then about
three inches high, but perfect tree in
every particular, much resembling a
delicate branch. Pods appear on its
branches as soon as it arrives at its full
growth; these ripen ana drop of in
August. Instead of containing seeds, as
one would naturally suppose, these pods
have from three to six small har worms
upon the interior. Rural Cola ooration.

THE ROAD TO YESTERDAY

Will some wise man who has iourneyed
Over land and over sea
To the countries where the rainbow
And the glorious sunsets be
Kindly tell little stranger
Who has oddly lost her way,
Where's the road that she must travel
To return to Yesterday
For, you see, she's unfamiliar
With To-day, and cannot read
What its strange, mysterious sign-posts
Tell OF ways and where they lead.
And her heart upbraids her sorely,
Though she did not mean TO stray
When she fell asleep last evening
And abandoned Yesterday.
For she left deal neglected
That she really should have done;
And she fears she's lost some favors
That she fairly might have won.
So she'd like to turn her backward
To retrieve them If she may
viii not some one kindly tell her
Where's the road TO Yesterday

Parental influence.

As a general rule a child's taste, opin-
ions, character aud trend in life, and
even its permanent destiny, are praetic-
ally shaped before the child is seven or
eight years OF age. The failure OF the
parents rightly to instruct and train it in
those early years, both by teaching and
example, by constant watchfulness and
loving care, can never be made good 10y

Colonel Hale blew into a rapidly grow

70 exist on the remaining S25. He
gathered about him the leading moneyed

paid down as guarantee OF good faith.

CultiyatIng the Appetite.

Altogether too much time and talk are
expended on what we shall eat and what
we shall drink. Dainty dishes are all
very well in their way, but in many
families their preparation seems to be the
chief end and aim of existence. No
sooner IS one meal cleared away, than
plans are laid for something new aud ap-
petizlng for another.
What to eat forms the subject of con-
versation in little gatherings of all sorts.
OF course, cooking-schools and the gen
eral interest in culinary matters have
something to do with this, but the sub
ject, like all others, is in very great
danger OF being overdone. Especially
is this the case where there are youn
and growing children. They gather
from all that is going on about them
that eating seems to be the principal in
terest of the family and friends, aud it
is not difficult to see to what this will
lead. The little appetites are pampercd,
and the minds are filed with fastidious
notions about dishes and the way to
serve them.
Too much importance cannot be at
tached to good, plain cooking aud the
proper preparation of food, but eating
should not at any time form the princi'
pal subject of conversation. 1t is moi
considered good form to talk about one s
food while at table; there are topics OF
conversation much more desirable, and
some pains should be taken to introduce
some agreeable and interesting subject
at the outset of the meal. Do some.
thing, do anything to avoid the unceas'
ing TRADE about what to eat and how to
prepare it. That sort of thing is well
enough in its place, but is by no means
a proper subject for general discussion

the usual amount OF water on their
hair and combed it back slicker
than they had been in the habit
OF doing. ALI this seemed to have no
effect upon Mrs. McGuire's help. She
was as demure, retiring and modest as
when she first arrived. There was one
bosrder who loved the pretty waiter-girl
with the consuming passion of a secret
affection. He scarcely dare raise his eges
to her, he was so diffident. The futter
Of her dress was sufficient to cause every
nerve iu his body to tremble. II she
spoke to him he was sure to put lump
Of butter in his coffee or sprinkle sugar
all over his plate during the ensuing mo-
ment Of confusion. This boarder was
"Chihuahua" Brown. He was reserved
in his manner, so quiet and gentlemanly
that Doris was naturally attracted to him.
They became friends aud gradually "Chi-
huahua' Brown learned OF the past life
of Doris Ware. Her father had been a
man of wealth; he was speculator. A
bad investment had left him almost pen
niless. He lacked the moral courage to
face adversely aud in moment of des-
peration and dependency he blew out
his brains. The shock almost killed his
wife, woman of a delicate, nervous
temperament. His daughter Doris 70 'e
superior to the occasion. She supporte /
her mother from the rather small wages
she earned in a store. Ore day she read
an advertisement in Western paper:
"Ten girls wanted for light, easy occu-
pations in the mountains; wages S25 per
week." With such large wages she
could comfortably support her mother.
| The amount was more than twice as
much as she had been receiving. She
had used her meagre savings to come
West, only to find that ''the light, easy
occupation" for which the ten young
girls were wanted was to serve beer IN a
dance. hall in Leadville. Being almost
without money she took the first place
she could get; it was her present one
waitress in Mrs. McGuire's restaurant.
"Chihuahua" determined that the girl
should not longer work in the restau-
rant. But what could he do7 There
was no other occupation in which she
could engage and remain in Pyrltes, and
he could not bear the thought of send
ing her away
Well, there was one thing which
ought to be done, If it could be done.
One September morning "Chihuahua'
Brown bade adieu to Pyrltes for a short
time and went up to his mines on Snow
shoe Mountain. Before going he laid
in a large supply of writing paper,
some big, thick pointed pens, a bottle
of ink aud some blank mining deeds.
The miners working adjoining claims
noticed that "Chihuahua" Brown was
paler than usual. His manner was less
reserved. He was nervous aud excited
at times. He sat up late at night writ.
ing and always concluded by tearing up
what he had written. One night wher
he was thus engaged, one of the meu
working on the night shift came to the
door and yelled:
"Chihuahual Chihuahual come int
the mine aud look at the stuff we've go
in there-we've struck it big"
"Chihuahua" hurried into the mine.

II was beautiful September after
noon in Pyrites. The mountains were
covered with wild flowers, and here and
there the sides of the monster hills had
been touched by the frost, Transforming
verdant hues into purple, crimson aud
gold. Doris went for a stroll early in
the afternoon. She gathered the flowers
as she went along, and almost every step
eVealed some new beauty of the floral
kingdom. Her mind was not so much
upon the flowers as it was upon him
big, bearded, honest, manly "Ohi-
huahua" Brown. She had received a
letter from her mother that morning, in
which remittance of 500 was ac-
knowledged. The letter to her mother
had been sent by "Chihuahua" Brown,
and he had stated therein that the Sl00
was part of the proceeds from a mine
in which Doris had an interest with him.
The money was badly needed by the
mother, and her gratitude was almost
extravagantly expressed.
Doris strolled on, thinking OF the
generosity of "Chihuahua," and the
secret, delicate method he had taken of
showing it.
It was time to return. The shadows
began to gather on the mountains, aud
darkness would soon be upon her.
She started back to the trail; but, alas
there was no trail where she thought it
should be. Again she located in her
minds eye the place where she had left
the trail in her search tor flowers, but
there was no trail when she arrived
there. 1t was almost dark. She real
lied that she was lost. Lost in the
mountains; lost in a little basin, with
the town of Pyrites just over a small
ridge. But this latter fact she did not
know.
Higher up in the basin she saw a
light. It came from a miners cabin.
She started there. It was very much
further than she thought it was. II
seemed at least an hour before she ar.
rived at the little cabin from the window
of which the light streamed out upon the
dark mountain. The door was slightly
open. Doris knocked. No answer.
She entered the cabin.
There was a fire in the stove, for the
night was chill. A neat looking bunk
with clean blankets aud coverlid stood in
one corner. There was a mining map
upon the wall. A bucket of water and
a wash-basin were near the door. Can
dies and miners candle-sticks were
stuck in the log crevices. In the centre
of the room was a table covered with
wnling paper. On the table was light
that had guided her to the place "a can
