Nashville and vicinity would fre-
quently visit the sick soldiers and
take them various luNuries and deli
cacics The women of Confedera te
sympathies would favor the Southern
soldiers, and very seldom bestowed
auy favors upon the Yankees.
In one of the wards was n German
soldier, who was approached by one
of these strong 'seccsh' ladies, and
asked if he was a Union man.
81 ish dot" he replied, as his eyes
roamcd over the basket of luXuries

piled the lady, as she ordered the
darky to carry the basket to the other

On being asked the regulation ques-
ton, one replied, emphatically:
"Not by blanked sight"
Thereupon the lady uncovered the
basket and laid out an excellent re-
past of bottled wines, mince pies,
pound cake and other delicacies,
which were greedily devoured by the
Southerncrs in the presence of the
Union men, who naturally felt justly
indignant.

The lady set the basket down on

thought the truth had availed in this
case if it did not in the other. But

lows countenance, when, uncovering
the basket, the lady drew out and
presented about Il bushel of tracts.
He shook his head dolefully and
said: Il no read English. Nuddings

Not long after came another elc.

the basket, but finally burst out:

THE COREAN CAPITAL.
At Shutdown Every Good Citizen Retires to
His House.

Seoul, the capital of the Corean
kingdom, is the only city where wide
streets are found, and the main street,
leading to the royal palace, is, indeed,
immensely wide, so much so that two
rows of smaller matched houses and
shops are built in the middle of the
street itself, thus forming, as it We're,
three parallel streets of one street; but
these houses are removed and pulled
down twice or three times year, when
his majesty, the king, chooses to come
out of his palace and goes in his state
chair either to visit the tombs of his
ancestors, some miles out of town, or
to meet the ENJOYS of the Chinese en-
peror, a short way out of the west gate
of the capital, and place where pc
culiar sort of triumphal arch, half
built in masonry and half in lacquered
wood, has been erected, close by an ar
tificial cut in the rocky hill, which. in
honor of the Chinese messengers, goes

scrambling to get in or out while the
"big bell in the center of the town an
nounced with its mournful sound that
with the last rays of light the heavy
wooden gates lined with iron would be
again closed till the morning,
How well l remember the hoarse
voices of the gatekeepers shouting out,
night after night, that time was up,
and hurrying the weary travellers to
enter the precincts of the royal city;
then the huge iron padlocks and bolts
were fastened, the gatekeepers retired
to the adjoining house to continue the
interrupted gambling which occupied
their day, and few rusty old spears
standing in n row on rack were left
to take care of the safety of the town
and of its inhabitants. With the sun
every noise ceased, every good citizen
retired to his house, and only an occa-
sioual leopard now and then crawled
over the city wall and made peregrina'
tions in the darkness over the capital.

1t Is Very Tender, as q Little Roumanian

Here is pretty little story about
Carmen Sylvia: A few years ago. when
she was in the zenith of her popularity
and health, she visited small village
school incog. and asked permission to
put the children through their PAGES"
The schoolmistress was highly de-
lighted. Although she was unaware
of the high rank of her visitor, she
guessed from outward appearances
that the latter was of no common or
der. The children did their mistress
credit, answering with great prompt
tude all the simple questions the queen
put to them.
Just before leaving the queen no.

the room, with her tangled head of
hair bent over some book. The child
was so deeply engrossed in the read
ing that she took no notice whatever
of anybody in the room. The queen
asked the reason of her silence; was
she deaf or otherwise afflicted? "Oh,
no." was the answer, but she is
stupid and never attends to her stud
les, but seizes every opportunity to
read story books" Carmen Sylvia
walked quietly up to the little reader,
and putting her hand on the curly
head asked gently what the child was
reading, and the latter held up the
book to the strange lady. 1t was

was few minutes past the noon hour,
and the everyday stampede of Wild
eyed and hungry lunchers was at it's
worst. The tables and the long coun.
tiers had filled up, and there was the
usual gathering of dishes and knives
and forks.
What surprised the stranger was the
conduct of the colored walters. One
was clapping his hands and another
was swapping his fingers. Others were
holding three fingers in the air, doub-
ling their fists and crossing their arms.
These mysterious signs and signals
were being given to the cooks at the
back of the room, and were apparently
understood. The stranger ordered
roast beef rare, and the waiter imnle-
diately clapped his hands twice, and
then made motion with his right hand
as if he were trying to shake something
off his finger.
"What did you mean by thaa?"
asked the stranger, as he turned in
wonder and admiration to see a tall
colored man give an imitation OF a
Dutch windmill.

DIR. Good, a missionary in the in
terror of Africa, says that the poverty
of the native languages is serious
hindrance to missionary effort. In the
Bule language, for instance, there is
no word for "thanks" or ''thanksgiv-
ing" "To believe" ito trust" ''to
have faith" are all expressed by one
verb to which there is no correspond
ing noun. There is no word for ''spir-
it." The Bule have always believed in
an invisible god, but they have never
given such being name. With the
Bule living man has body and a
shadow-the literal shape cast by the
living person-which at death leaves
the body and becomes disembodied
spirit with new name which can not
be used to apply to God and the angels.
So DR.. Good is driven to say that God
is shadow" and that Christ will
send His ''holy shadow" into mems
hearts, etc.
When one addresses letter to Mrs.

congruity CRATES on the feeling of

think linen may as we'll be abolished,
anyway" and that the feeling is not
confined TO this side of the water, is
shown by Prof. Charteris's remarks at
the University of Glasgow, in July,
when, for the first time, Scotch uni
versity conferred a medical degree
upon two women, one of whom was
made Bachelor of medicine, the other
Master of Surgery. He said he hoped
the time would come when DEGREES
would be bestowed that would do less
violence to the sex, and would run
"Spinster in Medicine" and Mistress
in Surgery" The Italian language
furnishes the pleasantest way out of
the difficulty, as the il dottore needs
only to be changed to la dottora and
there you have her, and many of her,
too; for the groundswell of medical
education for women has reached
sleepy old Italy, in which country one
of the ministers of instruction is the

Springs, Col.
A simple-minded old soldier, who
served under Fremont. the Path-fnd-
er. returned to his native town in the
east good many years ago, and told a
plain, unvarnished tale of the wonders
he had seen in the Yosemite valley and
other wild regions on the Pacific slope.
BY simply telling the truth this gray
old fightingman earned the reputation
of being the biggest liar in all the
country around.
Anyone who travels through the val
lev of the Grand river in western
Colorado, and tells what he saw there,
runs the same risk. What can a man
expect who says he took half-hour's
swim in widwinter all unprotected
from a bowling snow-storm, and after
ward descended into the bowels of the
earth and took vapor bath, the raw
Tor cooked materials of which came
straight from Tophet, or thereabouts?
Yet these are the everyday humdrum
incidents in the lives of the people of
Grand River valley.

from between frowning cliffs; through
its lev waters bubble springs of water
hot from the fires below. Sulphurous

side near he river. 1t is tritle dis
appointing to find the gatekeeper seat
ed on a cane bottom chair, but after he
has told you few stories you feel that
he is the right man in the right place.
He has a tale of man addicted to
the excessive use of tobacco, who went
into this hygienic hades clothed only
in its vapors, and came out in full suit
of nicotine. Thick doors separate COM
partments, gradually increasing in
temperature, until you are ushered into
n cavern filled with a driving vapor
that winds about you in steaming
folds AS your eyes grow used to the
ghostly shifting light you see the
forms of half-naked men, some sitting,
many lying in hollows of the rocks;
they seem to CULVER in the winding
mists that envelop them like objects in

After the visitor becomes parboiled
he is permitted to return to the door
and cool himself gradually in one com
partment after another. Resuming
