THE HERMIT NATION.
Street Scenes in the Capital City
Of Korea.
A Wheeled Vehicle which, In Our Land,
Would BE Called a Unicycle-The
Minister of State with His
Ohicial Retinue.

We are all inclined to give ourselves
credit for originality in mechanical de-
vices, writes Robert f. 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 pcopled by probably
the most conservative nation on our
globe. The country itself is called,
suggestively: 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 1889, and up to that time had been
totally uninfluenced 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 crude affair was used for
freight purposes in connection with
their splendid mild-eyed brown bulls.

smartest people on the face of the
earth. And when you see the wonder
full things they make with these little
tools and the beautiful fancy articles
they manufacture out of what seems TO
be nothing at all, you will agree
that they must be very smart and very
bright, or they could not accomplish
so much. The japanese, moreover,
have odd ways Of doing very ordinary
things which makes them full of in

One day little American sightseer
happened to be in the vicinity of the
japanese village when the gong sound
ed for the japanese villagers to come
to dinner. The little American stood
and watched the process of gong
sounding until the last echo of the
gong had died away. And then he
fairly yelled with delight and ran
away to tell his companions in another
part of the ground what he had seen.
And this is the sight which amused
him so greatly:
In the center of the japanese village
there is a little square house which
the japanese call a pagoda. 1t is made
of dark, peculiar looking wood, and
has matched top, which comes to
point in the middle. The pagoda has
side posts of bamboo, and there are
gay trimmings upon it of bright straw.
At one side of the roof of the pagoda
there hangs big fish. The fish is of
copper and it is hollow, so when you
touch it it resounds with a great roar
like distant thunder. The fish is beau
tifully made, having scales to initiate
all the brightly colored scales of live
fish. 1t has big silver eyes and silver
fins and a silver tail, all of which make
it appear very wonderful to small folks
who view it for the first time.
While the little American boy stood
staring at the great fish and wonder
ing how it came to be hanging where
it was, japanese man servant came
running out of one of the japanese
houses, and in his hand he carried a
big round thing which looked like a

FARMERS in Mexico use oxen Of one

and such a roaring that the little
American boy had to put his hands over
his ears lest he should be made deaf
by the noise. Then, while the roaring
was still going on and the man servant
was still beating the fish, all the Japan

came walking out of their houses an

along the principal street of Soel,
which crosses the city of 100000 in
habitants from the northwest to the

Near the broad, intersecting avenue,
100 feet wide, which leads to the kings
palace, my attention was arrested by
hearing and seeing a great crowd of
whitc-robcd men suddenly rush ont of
a side street, shouting and gesticulat-

Frenchmen are not so famous as
some other nationalities for athletic
feats, but this condition is not caused
by lack of strong men. Among the
laboring classes of France the colti-
neurs are particularly muscular, as
they necessarily must be, their work
being similar to that of our longshore-
men. To test the strength and en-
durance of this class of men, a Partisan
journal recently organized novel
race among them. Each man was re-

grammes two hundred and twenty

Corbeil, distance of twenty miles.
Ten started in this race, leaving the
Rue Feydeau in Paris at three o'clock
IN the morning. The first to reach the
goal was Jean Labasse, who covered
the distance with his great load in
fourteen hours, arriving at Corbeil at
ten o'clock in the evening. This lusty
youth, who is but twenty-four years of
age, rested for the first time after
travelling three-fourths of the distance,
and but once afterward.
