less than thirteen are over 5000 tons and
one nearly approaches the 1900 mark. In
San Francisco harbor to-day there are
twenty-five sailing vessels of over 1000 tons
net register. mostly under the British, but
none under the American and German
flags.
Twenty years ago master of British
ship was somebody in this port. He could
hire his own stevedore, butcher, baker,
grocer, sailmaker, druggist, IaundrymaD,
boatman, in fact every one who had any
business with the ship. But he cannot do
it any more. Every thing is done by con-
tract and none are so poor as To do him
reverence. A British shipmaster with a
salary of from 500 to $50 per month few
years ago.when he had full sway in regard
to the fitting out and supplying of stores
for his ship was quite big man. Now
when all ships business is done by cable
or by contract his occupation while on
shore is gone. He is only a fgurehead,
and small one at that
Twenty years ago stevedores got for
discharging vessels 80 cents per ton. They
paid their employees 55 cents an hour, just
as they do to-day. But there has been
great opposition among the stevedores,
and each one has been trying to get ahead
of the other. Now the established rate in
this port is as follows: Discharging coal,
cement. pig iron and ballast, 32h cents ::
general merchandise, 50 cents; steel

as the vessel anchored, and how
the butcher sent game and Iuxurles to
the captains table and charged for full
rations for the forecastle, when it was
empty; told of captains buying sails when
none were needed; of druggists paying a
bonus to fit out medicine-chests on ship
board and charging 40 cents for black
draughts and other things in proportion
they have told all these things and the
inevitable has come. Those who made
the contracts are making nothing, their
competitors are losing money and the cap
tans are suffering. The bills Of the latter
are all closely scrutiniZed now. No more
can they order goods at exorbitant prices.
No more can they give orders to the men
on clothing dealers and make so pei cent
profit. No more can they hire boatman
to take them off and on. day or night, at
So per day. All that is changed now.
Shipping masters who act as go-betweens
between the captains and the boarding
house keepers used 10 charge SIS per man
for shipping. But one day an agent went
to Europe and made contract to ship
crews for nearly all the firms having
vessels coming here for So Der man. All
the others had to come down to that basis,
aud now there is wailing and weeping
and crashing of teeth among them, for
none are making anything and they are
walking on their uppers."

Martinez CT Port Costa when vessels are
loading there, and besides have to nav 10
cents ton to the warehouseman
for all wheat loaded from the
upper track at Port Costa. it will be seen
that they can make no pr fit. In fact, in
not few cases they lose money on the
ships they load and discharge.
Twenty years ago. when deep-water
ship was sighted from Point Lobos feet
of Whitehall boats would put out to meet
her outside the heads, and represen tatives
of the butcher, the baker, the steVedOre,
the chandler, the saiImaker, the chro-
nometer man, the druggist and others
would board her and bid for the ships
business. They don't do it any more.
A shipmaster then in nine cases out of
ten would give the ships work to whomever
he pleased. He could get pulled ashore
get taken uptown in a carriage, and any
one OF dozen men or more would be glad
to place 500 in his hands to have good
time 10 return for favors.
But times have changed. Those who
are engaged in the business of supplying
ships have been driving each other to the
wall. Agents of shipchaudlers, butchers,
druggists, aye, and even Chinese laundry
men, have gone TO Europe and told the own
ers Of ships how cheaply they will do their
work and how they have been Imposed
upon. They have told them of how
a ships crew has deserted as soon

The younger women are fond of red. The
middle-aged affect blue, and the widows
always wear white, which is the color of
mourning.
Ike the way the Korean women comb
their har. They part it in the middle and
put 1t up IN coil on the nape of the neck.
They wear the biggest hairpins of their
sex the world over. The average one Is as
thick as your little finger and is about five
inches long. 1t is of gold, silver or am Der,
and 1t is poor woman indeed who does
not own one or two of these pins. She is
tond of Jewelry and she likes finger
rings, though she has her own way
of wearing them. The custom is to
have two rings on the third finger
of the right hand. With such rings
and hairpin or so and the above dress
she considers herself decked out, pro-
vlded her face and eyebrows are properly
touched up. All Korean women paint.
They cover the face with white and dash
their lips with red. They use India ink
to mark the line of the eyebrows, and they
are very particular that this line should
be very delicate. and arched in conformity
with the line of ASatic beauty. This is
supposed TO be curve like that of line
of swans flying in the sky, and with pair
of tweeZers she pulls out the hairs of her
eyebrows until they approach her ideal
She is also by no means averse to hairoil,
and her locks usually shine like creased
ebony.
The daily life of one of the Korean la
dies is interesting. She rises with the sun
and spends an hour at her toilet. She il
waited upon by her own slaves, and her
rooms in the winter time have fires built
under them, so that her bare feet fall upon
warm floor. In nine cases out of ten she
sleeps on this floor. and while she is making
her toilet she sQuats upon it before a little
looking-glass. Her breakfas. is brought

lhe present war in Korea is bound TO
Detter the condition of her women. 1t
cOnld not be worse than it is. The $780,
GOO women of the country are practically
slaves. They are bound to their husbands
with letters of iron, which only the men
can loosen. They dare not go upon the
streets. Their quarters are kept for them
IN the backs of The houses, and the best of
the Korean wives would commit suicide If
stranger of the other sex rudely
put his hands upon her. Many of
these women are actually slaves.
They have been bought and they can be
whipped if they do not obey. Little
Is known about the condition of Korean
Womanhood. The lines are so strict as to
their being seen upon the street or as to
their coming into contact with any but
their own sex, that such travel letters and
books as have been written concerning
Korea contain but little about them. Only
the women of the lower classes 60 out of
the house, except in closed chairs, and
those whom you see with their faces un-
covered are generally slaves Now and
then common woman goes about the
streets of Seoul with green cloak over her
head. She holds this close to her face,
leaving crack out of which one eve peeps,
and if she meets a man on a country road
she runs. There are indeed, three different
classes of women in Korea, the upper. the
middle and the lower class.
The upper class are usually the daugh-
tiers of mobiles. They marry mobiles, and if
their husbands can afford il, which is not
often, they have slaves to do all the work
for them, and they lead lives of compare
tive'idleness. The dress of all classes is
practically the same, but that OF the upper
classes is made of much more expens ive

THE HYPNOTIC FAD.
Copyright 1894.

Perhaps there is no subject at present
engrossing public attention that is so little
understood as what is called hypnotism.
but which is merely the most modern
phase of subject that for years, both be-
fore and after Mesmer announced his So
called discoveries. has from time to time
arisen to prominence.
This time the promise is fair that the
lay mind will arrive al some intelligent
grasp Of the subject, consummation de-
voutly to be wished. for when it does, hyp-
nOtism will be forever removed from the
realm of the occult. II does not belong in
that realm; in fact it is a question
whether the idea of the occult it.
self will not, within a very few
years pass into the shadowy Niryana of
exploded theories This is a material uni
verse in which we dwell, and rightly COM
pretended its phenomena will yet be
clearly understood to be material. Even
that very Interesting and fascinating oh
ject of present pursuit, "the sixth sense. +"
may be found TO be merely result of de-
velopmeut and intelligent use of the five
senses we already know ourselves to DOS
sess.
i have said proper understanding. bv
the lay mind, of hypnotic phenomena is a
contamination devoutly t. be wished, So
long as the present veil of mystery sur
rounds it, IL must be an element of danger
to certain minds while it is susceptible of
being made by the INSCRIPTIONS a cloak of
crime. and almost as effective a doorway
of escape from punishment as the time
honored plea of "emotion al insanitv."
The hypnotic state is pre-eminently a
physical manifestation, as much so as is
the condition produced by the administra-
tion of ether or of carbon monoxide
Laughing gas). The condition can be pro-
duced as readily 10 the most Unconditional
and irresponsible of creatures as in the bu-
man being. l have seen Holsters COM
petely bypnotzed and stood upon their
shelly heads, in which position they re-
NAMED for nearly an hour, waving their
long green tentacles as coutentedly as
though they were disporting on their
native beach. An experiment which may
be easily tried by any one able to procure
a live hen or rooster, is TO put the creature
in a sitting posture, with his beak resting
CD the table CT board. Then, with
piece of chalk, make a straight mark ont
from his beak some twelve or fifteen
inches. The creature will then be found
to be perfectly hypnotized. and will main
tain any position, however absurd. in

and two or three female slaves, has
given me the details. The Korean
lady starts in with divided skirt
This consists of pair of very
full drawers. which fall in folds about
her feet, and which il stretched upwards
would have room TO spare when being
gathered about the neck. The top of thsse
drawers has a band fully eight inches
wide, and this is fastened tightly over the
breast by a white ribbon drawstring,
which is tied in front. This garment is
always white, and it is fastened so tight
that the band cuts into the flesh at the
back, and among the lower classes often
runs below the breast, leaving it exposed.
Above this band, and just meeting il,
there is a little jacket with long sleeves.
This jacket is not more than six inches
long, l Judge. 1t is sometimes of yellow,
green or blue, aud at other times of white.

same color as the Jacket, and 1t is so
scanty that great sunburned streak an
inch wide shines out below The shoulder

The drawers are not tied at the ankle.
Ihey narrow down as they fall to the
1eet, and below them the woman wears
stockings of wadded white cotton. These

one trots about in her stocking-feet,
ana the poorer classes go barefooted.
Wnen she goes out she put on
slippers of rabbit skin faced with silk,
Some OF these are very pretty, but they
look uncomfortable, and are quite heavy.
They have sOles of oxhide. which are
nailed on to the slipper with iron pegs. the
heads of which are as large around as that
of tenpenny nail, and they are clumsy in
the extreme. In addition to these divided
skirts, or drawers. she has overpants of
white, which are very full, and reach from
the armpits to the knees. and over the
whole she wears cloak-like gown. which
falls to her feet, and which is tied on with
ribbon. This practically makes up the

Not long ago an agent of one stevedor-
ing firm went to England and made con-
tracts with number of firms sending
ships to this port. whereby they got re-
duction of 121a per cent on the ruling rate
When it became known all the other
stevedores had to follow suit and now all
the bills for steyedoring are made out for
the usual rate for loading wheat so cents
less 1917 per cent. When it is taken
into account that the boss stevedores have
to pay the same wages now to their men,
namely, 55 cents an hour ana Sc per day to
