The man had dark hair and side whlsk-

A COMIcAL ARMY.
Queer Forces OF the Korean Court ou
CeremOni0us Occasions.

Queer Forces OF the Korean Court on
Ceremonious Occasions.
The true comicality of the Korean
court can only be properly estimated
upon one of the occasions, somewhat
rare in occurrence. when the king
goes in state through the city to visit
some temple or tomb. OF one such
function | was the interested witness.
From an early hour in the morning
the streets were guarded by military
OF species unique in the world. The
infantry held tie roadway, and were
for the most part lying asleep upon
the ground. They had almost as many
Aags as men, and their muskets, which
I examined as they stood piled to-
gether, were commonly destitute
either Of hammer, trigger or plate,
sometimes of all three and were fre-
quently only held together by strings.
while the bayonets were bent and
rusty. a..
Infinitely more remarka bic. how
ever. were the cavalry. These were
clad in uniforms probably some 300
years old, consisting of battered he'll
met with q spike. and of a cuirass of
black leather studded with brass
bosses and worn over a heavy jerkiu
OF moth-eaten brocadc. Enormous
jack boots completed the costume and
rendered it difficult for the men to
mount their stecds. even although
these were rarely more than eleven
hands high
Banners of yellow. red and green,
with tuft of pheasant feathers at the
top and stacks of arrows were carried
in front of the officers. who were with
difficulty supported by squares upon
their pvramidal saddles.

The Plumber Again.

The jokes innumera bic that have
been perpetrated on the subject of

in real life which happened not so
long ago in Washington. Bills to an
enormous amount having been FREE
quentiy rendered by a plumb of that
city on piece Of property without
the result of liquidation or the tanyi-
BILE prospect of such, law proceedings
were finally instituted. As a result
the house sold under the hammer
failed to bring the amount charged in
the bill of the disgruntled mechanic.

4 sR,0AL couple


Rfseo1s Who 1Gako Lac Miserable eaR
xeaag AaerssA reakn.
The writer was at . Maine railroad
station the other day when . groom
ied his bride 70 the CAP steps He was
the wont prosecuted man that we
have seen this year. First of all some
nefarious villain had tied white rib
bons and disreputable old shoes all
over the trunks That should be Q
penal offense OF itself. Then as the
bridal couple walked toward the
train . band of conspirators charged
down and opened 4 rice battery. The
groom was speedily dripping with
rico. while the brides veil sagged with
It The ornamentation of her cloak
caught the tiny kernels and held them
10 perseveringly that she was whiten-
ed. She lost her self-possession.
duckei her head and stood silently
waiting cessation of hostilities The
groom was practical exemplification
OF all that the civilixing influences Of
this nm de steele age can do for .
man. You could see the savagery Of
ancient days lurking in his eyes: you
could see by the convulsioEs of his
faye and the twitching of his muscles
that his every impulse prompted him
70 leap upon his perse .ut0rs, rend
their limbs and scatter them. If it
had been in days of old there would
have been a series of horrible murders,
the groom would have seized his bride,
and would either have climbed tree
our forefathers used to do that-or
would have hied away to his fastness.
The crowd laughed on, ignorant of
the danger that they courted. One
shrill-voiced miss screamed, Don't be
so silky WILL" and she let him have
double handful of stinging rice ker-
nels. The groom clinchcd his teeth a
little closer, turned, left his bride and
walked into the car. Why not have
this wicked persecution relegated to
the garret along with the thumb
screws and iron virgin? It's fun for
the crowd, but isn't it about time TO
have q care Cor the frogs
