Ocean Greyhounds to Be Used Only In
Summer Tranac.
The recent announcement that the
Lucauia and Campania were to be laid
up for the winter marks another step
in the differentiation of the Atlantic
traffic that has been going on for some
years. The record breakers of the
ocean, of which the two ships named
are at present the chief, are, accord
ing to the New York Times, too costly
to run except at the height of the sea-
son OF pleasure travelling. when great
number of people are making the voy-
age to whom time is much more an OBJ
ject than money, and who can afford to
pay for the highest attainable degree
of speed and luxury. The steamers
which minister TO this desire are far
more costly to operate than slower
ships that are equally safe and almost
equally comfortab BILE. and it is proper
that the passengers who prefer them
should pay for their preference They
are the limited trains of marine travel
Next To them come the slower ships
that can be kept IN service all the year

The summer service, that IS to say, IS
becoming a special service like the
summer trains for pleasure travel on
shore Evidently a steamer which IS
not meant to make winter passages
may advantageously be differently
fitted and equipped in many respects
from one that Is. We may look to see
the summer ships made capable not
only Of higher speed but greater
comfort than can be afforded in a yes
sci that must be ready to encounter the
Atlantic in midwinter. The luxuries
the summer ships provide may become
costlier than ever, while il is likely

KOREA AND THE KOREANS.

Returned American Missionary Tells
About an Interesting People.
Rev. Graham Lee is Presbyterian
Missionary of Rock Island, ILL.,, who
has been working in the Korean field
at Seoul for the last year. according to
the San Francisco Call. He says:
THE Koreans are an amiable people,
and man can travel all over their
country without being molested or i'll
treated. Sometimes. of course. one
will meet man who is rather uncivil,
but generally they are disposed to treat
us kindly. Like all other oriental
people, they ere immoral, and Seoul is
no exception among the cities OF the
east. 1t is filthy city, too.
THE people are not a all progressive.
There were some progressive Koreans
who tried to have 4 postal system and
mint to coin money few years ago,
but the innovations lasted only TWEEN
ty-four hours: the people rose in re-
volt. Why did they oppose the post
office and mint? Well, you know the
orientals are never taught to think. In
their schools all the pupils do is to go
over mechanically list of characters
before them until they commit them
to memory. That's why it is SO hard
to teach them mathematics. So that
it might be said that there was no par
ticular reason for the opposition to the
proposed reform other than their OBJ
lection to progression generally. The
Chinese language is taught in all their
schools"

Slavery In Slam.

Slavery has been abolished in name
in Siam, but it can never be abolished
in fact, for the slaves have no means
of supporting themselves outside their
masters houses Every member of the
Siamese upper classes can fetter his
servants or throw them into prison
without any kind of trial or permis-
sion being necessary. One morning
went to call upon one of the ablest and
most enlightened of the ministers, a
man who has been to Europe, and who
once actually got into serious trouble
for trying to inaugurate a sort of
woman's rights movement in Siam,
says writer in the Contemporary
Review. l made my way by mistake

slave fastened down to the ground in

strokes of bamboo rod at the word

force him to confess to some misdeed.

POISONING IN india.
A Popular Method of Disposing OF OBJ
nOxious Persons.


Although the English government
keeps strict surveillance over its sub
jects in India, it does not seem able to
stop the wholesale poisonings going on
among the natives there every year,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. 1t
seems innate in the native Hindu to
poison if he desires to get rid of some
one who is in his way. The poison,
which the natives use produce about
the same symptoms as the poison of a
snake. The victim dies suddenly and
is cremated within an hour or two
after death. so there is no opportunity
of investigating the cause. The
poisoner, to further deceive, usually
makes cut in the leg or arm with a
knife. such as the fangs of the snake
would make, so. that it is difficult to
distinguish victim of the snake from
the victim Of the poisoner. There are
thousands of deaths put on the gov
ernment registers every year that are
attributed to the bites of snakes. III
venture to say that but a small per
centage Of these are from that cause

A market day in one of the little
country towns is curious sight, and

ners and customs, the higgling about
prices, the perfect acting of indigna-
ton. surprise, anger, among people who
are merely trying to overreach their
neigh bors. The wealthy ones come in
from the country on outside cars, the
wife and daughter of the house dressed
in tawdrv colors, feathers and false hair
upon their heads The poorer women,
unless they walk iD which case the
young people often do it bare-footed,
and put on their boots only when thev
approach the town, come with shawls
over their heads or in picturesque
cloaks, blue or dull red, according TO
the district. and these are far pleas
anter to look upon The main duty Of
these women when they have sold their
eggs and fowls is to get their husbands
or sons out Of the market before they
are quite drunk, and convey them
home safely, for most bargains are
sealed with glass Of whisky. and To
refuse it Is 10 fail in the passive side of

SiCK-ROOM DISlNFECTlON.
The Most Effective Way of Destroying 3
Lingering Disease Germs.

Inc MOst fneCtive way destroying
Lingering Disease Germs.
Much has been written upon this
subject, and many experiments have
been made for the purpose of determin-
ing the best and most efficient method
CT disinfecting the walls of room
which has contained a person suffering
from some infectious malady.
NM. Cham berland and Fernback,
connected with the hygienic depart
ment of the Pasteur institute, Paris,
have recently undertaken new study
of this important question, and have
determined two important facts: first,
that disease germs are much less read
lily acted upon in n dry than in moist
state, and that the activity of the dis
infectant is increased from forty TO fifty
per cent by the addition of heat They
consequently contend that in the dis
infection of a room, the walls should
be moistened by spray of hot water.
The same end. of course, might be ac-
complished by filling the room with
steam. This should be done one hour
before the application Of the disipfect-
ant The experiments made by these
investigators show that the commercial
chloride of lime and peroxide of hy-
drogen are the most thorough and act
i've disinfectants 1t IS found that 4
one to one thousand solution of corro-
sive sublimate added to the chloride of
lime is the most active of the substances
named. The following is the method
by which II should be employed: dis
solve one part of commercial chiorate
of lime in ten parts of water. allowing
the liquid 10 stand for an hour; then
filter and decaDt and dilute the green
ish yellow liquid thus obtained with
ten times it's volume Of water. The
investigations showed that this dilute
solution, for some unknown reason. IS
more active as disinfectant than a
strong solution.
In disinfecting a room. the walls
should be thoroughly washed with
this solution, which should be applied
TO the floor after a thorough scrub
bing. This disinfectant may also be
applied to garments without injury %

TIE BOND ISSUE.

Some people are wondering how Secre-

izes the issuance OF bonds for the purpose
of replenishing the gold reserve in the
treasury, only, and use the proceeds OF
the sale of the bonds he is preparing to
issue 10 meet the current expenses
of the government. /. seemed TO have
been an easy matter for him to evade
the law whsch names per cent as the
rate OF interest the bonds shall bear. so
as 10 make the rate per cent. Ii will
be just as easy for him TO evade the pro-
vision of the law that restricts the bond
proceeds to replenshing the gold reserve
in the treasury. There Is now in he
| treasury in the neighborhood of SI0. 900.
| 600 in gold, not the proceeds of the sale
of bonds, which the secretary can and

SECRET POLITICAL SOCIETIES.

Notwithstanding the fact that failure
has been the result of every effort to Or
ganize and maintain secret political So
cieties and parties, attempts along that
line continue at periods OF almost stated
regularity. The latest denouement in
that line is the proposed organization of
an order with the high sounding and
patriotic name of Loyal Americans.
Being SIMPLY fresh tack of the rotten
Pop craft, however, very few truly loyal
Americans will be found who can be
deceived thereby. Loyal Americans
need no concealments for their political
views ard convictions, neither do they
need to clothe their acts with secrecy,
and what is equally true, they will not.
TIE fact of secrecy carries with it the
idea unfairness and dishonesty of pur-
pose. Under a mocarchial form OF
government where the citizen is a mere
serf and is debarred frcm participation
in the affairs of government and the lib
erty of speech and action, secret concert
may be necessary in an effort to throw
off such yoke, but we have not reached
that point IN the United States. and with
an intelligent exercise of the preroga-
tives of citizenship by all loyal Arieri-
cans we never will.

The appointment of commission, by

the United States commission upon the
question of statehood is taken as an en-
couraging augury for single statehood
for Oklahoma and the Indian territory.
In point OF intelligence, wealth and
numbers the Cherokees lead all the other
tribes in the territory and their course
in the matter will no doubt influence
the other tribes. With such manifest
friendlness and willingness on the part
of the Cherokees to meet the commits
sion sent from Washington there ought
to be little difficulty or delay in reach
ing a satisfactory settlement of the
points of objection with the indians to
abandoning their present anomalous po
sition and accepting citizenship under
