SEVEN COREAn WONDERS.
MarveIs Which Played a Conspicuous Role
in Antiquity.

A Chinese paper describes the seven
wonders which Corea, like other ORR
entail countries, possesses, and which
PLAYED a conspicuous role in antiquity.
The Corean wonders consist, first. OF
a hot mineral spring near Kin Shantao,
which is capable of curing sickness
and disease of all sorts. The second
wonder is the two wells. one at each
end of the peninsula, which have the
peculiar characteristic that when one is
full the other is empty. The water OF
the one is intensely bitter, that of the
other has pleasant and sweet taste.
The third wonder is cold cave from
which there issues constantly an ice
cold wind, with such force that
strong man is not able to stand up
against it. A pine forest which can
not be eradicated constitutes the fourth
wonder. No matter what injury may
be done to the roots the young trees
spring up again like the phenix from
it's ashes.
The most remarkable, however, is
the fifth wonder-the famous lowering
stone which stands, or rather appears
to stand, in front of a palace erected
in it's honor. This is a massive rect
angular block, free on all sides. Two
men standing. one on each end, can
draw a card underneath the stone,
from side to side, without encounter
ING any obstacle The sixth wonder is
a hot stone which has been lying from
time immemorial on the summit of a
hill and evolving a glowing heat. The
seventh Corean wonder is a sweating
Duddha. This is guarded in great
temple, in whose court for thirty yards
on all sides not single blade of grass
grows. No tree, no flower will flour
ish on the sacred spot, and even wild
creatures are careful not to prOfane it.

GERMAN COLONY AT JAFFA.
Hardships of a Religious Sect That Set

Hardships of a Religious Sect That Set
tied in Palestine.
The Gartenlaube tells the story OF a
religious enterprise which has all the
romance of the strange episode of
Mormonism without any of its repul-
sive features, says the Manchester
Guardian. About the middle. of the
present century a Swabian peasant
farmer - Christoph HOfmann-con-
ceived the notion that he was divlnely
called to build at Jerusalem temple
in readiness for the approaching mil
lenuium. By degrees this sturdy fanat-
ic gained considerable influence over
his countrymen-an influence which
may be estimated by the fact that,he
successfully contested the seat for
Ludwigsburg, in the German parlia-
ment, in the year 1848, though the IA
nous David Strauss, himself native
of the town, was his opponent.
After spending some years in pro-
selytizing and collecting the necessary
funds Hoffman, made some OvertureS
to the Turkish government for the ac-
QUESTION of land, but the episode of
any chances which he might have had
of success. In 1853 three mem bers Of
the sect were sent out to the promised
land as pioneers. By and by these
were followed by others, who travelled
over the country literally from Dan to
Beersheba. Many died from fever and
hardship, but a nucleus still remained.
These were joined at last by Hoffman,
himself in 1869 and a colony was defin-
itely founded at Jaffa, which Hoff
mann administered till his death in
1885.
Whatever this country may have
been in ancient times, the Swabian
peasants did not find it "a land flow
ing with milk and honey" They earned
their bread at greater cost Of effort
than they would have incurred in their
native country, and they were, besides,
exposed to the hatred of their MOham-
medan neighbors. Yet, like the Nor
mons, they showed how much can be
done by a community moved by a
strong faith, however delusive; they
grew steadily in numbers and wealth.
Last year the colony numbered fifteen
hundred souls and cellared no less
than three thousand hectoliters of
wine. 1t is not little due TO their
persistent agitation that railway has
Just been opened between Jaffa and
Jerusalem. Who can say how far
reaching may be the results both Of
the colony and the railway?

Ingenious Paris Dealers,

Some ingenious Paris dealers are re-
ported to have invented a way of en-
HANGING the market value of their
wares. 1t is said that they color ordi-
nary oranges a deep red, making them
look like mandarins, which fetch much
higher prices. They also tint pineap-
pies to make them look more attrac-
tive, and dye the common white straw
berries alovely red. Melons are being
treated in q similar way and tinted a
fine orange, their flavor being in
creased by injecting an essence of
lemon. The latest development of this
business is in connection with pears
which are dyed red for a third of their
size, and blue below, thus presenting
the national colors when peeled. These
are said to be in some demand for des-
sert fruit on account of their novelty

Cleaning -Siiyerware.

About the last thing done to silver
ware in the factories is to cleanse the
surface of all grease and other mate
rial used in the polishing, a process
that usually involves deal of hard
labor. A mechanic who had noted the
expensive character of this work in
vented a bath in which the foreign
substances that cling to the surface
OF sllverwarc are easily and quickly
removed. From this bath the silver
ware comes clean and brilliant. The
employers of the inventor have pat
ented the process with his consent
and the patent is regarded as val'l
able property.
