brave young woman who had put on|
the robes OF the Queen sat IN the
chair of state and calmly awaited the
approach of the conspirators. They
came soon and o momeIt later she
was lying dead at the foot OF the
throne, with dagger in her heart.
There are few more sublime in
stances of self-sacrifice for another
than this in recorded history, and II
is a commentary which needs no en-
largement on the kind of women bred
in Korea.
The revolution was failure, bu
not until over three hundred OF tht
best men and women in the country
had lost their lives. The King AM
Queen returned to the palace, and onl
of the first persons to be rewarded
with high Office was the noblema1
whose daughter had died to save thd
life of her Queen. He is to-day one o
the most trusted officers at the court
Almost the only official of importance
left to the country after the revolution
was Kim Hong Jip, the Minister o
Foreign Affairs. The others had been
killed.
Korea is a poor country despite itd
fertile lands and gold, copper aud sil
yer mines. The fortunes Of the peo
pie are estimated in "cash, coppe1
coin, about 1900 of which make a
American gold dollar; $4,000, ,0O
cash, therefore, represents abou
S17,300.
Korea is the ideal place for noble
men and boys. The noblemen drea

Seoul, the capital Of this lnteres

view is a handsome city. 1t has

It was to overthrow her great in

Wheat to Hogs, Corn to Market.

The farmers OF Indiana, for the first time,
are feeding wheat to hogs and selling corn.
Wheat brings forty-three cents per bushel
when delivered at the country stations, and
corn sells readily at from forty-flve to forty
seven cents. The farmers say that one
bushel of wheat contains as much nutriment
as two bushels Of corn, and Us hogs are
bringing good prices and corn Is higher than
wheat, it is economy to feed the latter and
sell their corn.

Decrease in Natural Gas.

A recent Government report shows that
in Pennsylvania and Ohio there has been q
steady decrease in the efflux OF natural gas
since 1888, and that the supply is not sufll-
cient for the demand. In Indiana, on the
other hand, the supply is undiminished.
The gas fields Of that State are about $500
square miles in extent. producing last year
gas valued at S5,716.000.
