Intense Suffering Ended
BY the Blood Purifying Qualities OF

Hoods SarsaparlIIa.
Rheumatism is now generally admitted to be a
disease of the blood, originating in acdity of the

the disease. The following is from MIR. n. c.

 'sThis article is>a mark of honor and position in society. Only married mon can assume it, and married men only participate In the affairs of state. And since all unmarried persons are treated as children in Corea, every youth is anxious to get wife and put on hat. Sometimes the young rascals shave their front hair and do the back hair in a waterfall after the fashion of married men, in order to get position in society and state, but this Is punish able by law. 'To wear the hat, con- sequently, is Corean method of say ing a man Is married.
 1.-The lower classes do not conform to those technical requirements as to the hat. They content themselves with sort of inverted bowl made of straw, People who are in mourning wear an immense umbrella-like affair on their heads, which nearly conceals them from view and gives the wearer the ap- pearance of walking mushroom. These hats are from two to three and half feet in diameter, and have surface of about six square feet So complete ly does this headdress remove the wearer from the rest of the world that in the days when foreigners were ex- cluded from Corea, the Jesuit priests took advantage of 1t, and wore 1t to protect themselves in their work.
 "The women wear green mantles over their heads, the folds of which are drawn over the face, leaving only the eyes exposed, and falling down to their feet.
 "The loose, baggy, trouser-like dress that is the fashion with the female population, causes an awkward wad- dle; but the feet, clad in white socks and straw sandals, are small and well formed. It seemed especially odd to me at first that each woman met should have just arrived at her own own house, but this was explained be- fore was there many weeks. 1learned that every woman has the right of en' tree into all places and may turn into anyones house to avoid strangers They are not allowed either to see ol be seen by them, and are compelled te curb their curiosity, which seemed tt me like highway robbery upon woman's dearest right.

They no sooner saw me than they disappeared into doorways as if possessed I sup pose, though, that was unusually in- quisitive, and observed that the native wayfarer passed them without notice. My impression of these women was neither pleasant nor unpleasant, my observation being confined too much to the lower classes.
 "Though women are regarded as in- ferior animals, and have no position in society, and no legal rights, there is a certain kind of respect paid them. A man steps off the sidewalk to allow a woman to pass, and never turns his eyes to look at her.
 "A Corean woman would consider herself ruined if man should so much as touch her with the finger tips, and many Corean Lucretia has killed her self or been slain by father or brother rather than live after being so dis honored

 Asa people found the Coreans gem erally polite and dignifed in their be. havior, and kindly toward their guests. Their dress varies much with their social position. That of the upper classes is loose robe of white cotton fabric.

 Some historic earthworks are visible from the farther shore which are said to date back to the time of the Japan csc invasion at the end of the sixteenth century. A large tumulus is also vis- ible in the distance from this point, sit uated on bluff that projects into the stream near the juncture of another river. As travelled on noticed some scores of weary pilgrims from the ex- treme north on their way to Seoul for examinations, which were to take place in the course of few days. They leaned on long staffs and had only one or two articles of clothing strapped on their backs. Otherwise they travelled free of luggage.

 ''In view of all these restrictions np- on the female population, 1t IS most surprising that these people have af law which compels all men to be with-i in doors at eight p. m., while womens may roam the streets unmo1ested until after midnight. This rule is very strictly observed in time of war, and the Corean mans existence IS therefore much confined just now. The doorways of the common houses are low, and open directly on the streets, but, to avoid publicity, a screen of strings is hung on a lattice in front of them, hiding the interior from view. In the lower part of the valley of Seoul, the buildings are closely competed and though of but one story in height, the population is claimed to be two hundred and fifty thousand, which does not seem strange when one has been there and observed how many live in one of these little houses.
 "The shops are sometimes two stories high, built of gray stone but more com monly, low buildings, divided into conn partments, each boasting frontage of six feet. They are so arranged that nearly everything In the store can be reached by the weary-looking store keeper without necessitating the effort to rise when an occasional customer enters. The store clerk is an unknown title.

It is not generally known that Corea was bestirring herself with a revolu- tion about the time we were getting comfortably discovered In the fifteenth century. Yet these people have been plodding along in the same rut ever since, and all due to the Chinese exclu- sion policy.
 Her long existence as Hermit Ma tion'' seems to have had its effect upon the characteristics of her people. For while they are said to be very good- natured, their faces wear sad, mel ancholy expression, which Is seldom frightened with smile.
 Nr-Ralph Cooke, whose uncle is the only American merchant in Corea, has just returned from an eighteen months tour through this remote country.
 He says: "It is an actual fact that, in my whole eighteen months visit, never saw a native laugh or smile. When smiled the natives thought l must be sick and seemed to feel very sorry for me. And when l laughed loud and heartily, as l often found oc- casion to do, they fled from me as it they thought l had some kind of ht. Surprised at their antics, questioned my guide about it, and he told me that his countrymen never laughed, be- cause they never had anything to laugh at"
 It is difficult to imagine such na- tion of solemn faces, and it seems a pity that there are not few native Hi bernians there to infuse little mirth into the people.
 They talk very little and. have the appearance of great thoughtfulness.
 "As I approached the little town of Phajre, on my way from Seoul" says Mir. Cooke, 'the entire male popula- tion turned out in body to meet me. The men eyed me seriously. Not word was uttered between them.

fell destroyer came unheralded and unex-

seventh grade will che IRISH most tondly her
memory, will strive to initiate her virtues,
and follow her womanly example in the
formation Of the noble character which com

early demise.
