The MOcAing Bird.
'What bird next to the canary is kept
n ost commonly as a pet?' The Star writer
asked.
Il should say the hooking bird came
next, in this section of the country, at
least" said the bird man. 1.-The hooking
bird is found adj through the south in a
wild state. In Texas especially the birds
are found to a great extent and the col
ored people make quite business of catch
ing and selling them to the dealers, who
ship them everywhere"
The bird man also said that he did a
good business in selling pigeons. The diff
ferent varieties are always in demand for
pets and can be obtained very cheaply.
Pigeons are easily raised and are particu-
larly the pets of boys and young folks. who
find much pleasure as well as instruction in
building houses, feeding and caring for
them.

How Thieves Are Treated.
All sorts of crimes are terribly punished
in Corea- The truth about such matters is
kept, as far as possible. from the foreign
ers. and you will find little information
about prisons and punishments in any of
the books on Corea. There is. In fact, but
little published on the country, and the in
formation which 1 give you was only ac-
cessible to me on account of the letters of
Introduction which 1 carried and the risks
which l took in going right in among the

SURE CURE FOR SNORING.
It's Use Steps Divorce Suit and
Vnites an Estrangcd Pair.

From the rhiladelDhia Times.
One of the most remarkable divorce cases
ever entered in a Philadelphia court was
en- Saturday settled without final appeal to
the blind goddess. when Attorney Robert
Arundel filed motion in the common pleas
court that the case of Eleanor Kane against
her husband. Hannibal A. Kane. be discon-
tinCed.
Mrs. Kane filed her petition for an abso-
lutte divorce at the June term of court al
leging as her reasons for wishing separa-
ton and alimony that her husband SUBJ
jected her to cruel, unusual and barbarous
treatment. Hannibal. the petition stated.
had the habit of snoring stentoriously at
unseemly and, in fact, at all hours of the
night. Mrs. Kane. being of a fragile ply
sique and nervous temperament. had suf-
fered intensely therefrom. Mr.. Kane after
repeated protests from his wife, had, on
several occasions, promised to break himself
of the habit. the only remedy, however
that he had consented to use had proved
worse than the disease itself. This remedy
had consisted of an effort on Mr. Kane's
part to lie awake all night and smoke a
strong pipe loaded with bad-smelling tobac-
co. AS consequence he had on several &C.
casions set fire 10 the bed and the unhap-
Ply couple barely escaped with their lives.
On the night of last March Il Mr. Kane
set fire to the bed. Mrs. Kane's pet dog
Gyp. was so seriously burned that he died
Mrs. Kane placed her case in the hands
cf Attorney Robert Arundel. and that genial
disciple of Blackstone, who is always anx-
ious to patch up these little marital differ
ences, found, just after he had filed the
case, most novel method of healing the
woes of the Kane family. At some place in
his travels friend of Mr.. Arundel had
come across a cure for snoring
1T consists he said to the LAWYER ''of
olive oil and mustard-six drops of the for
mer TO pinch of the latter-taken lust
before getting into bed. The function of
the oil Is that of a lubricant to the larynx.
while the mustard acts as a counterfeit
-iant. The cure 1 am told, was discovered
by the late DIR. ODowd of Kilkenny. and
has proved so effectual that no native of
that county ever snores."
Attorney Arundel impaired his snore cure
TO Mr.. Kane. with the result that the cou-
pie Saturday resumed the felicities of mar
ried life That is why he withdrew his case.

Two New Designs Seen on a Summer
Piazza.

Two New Designs Seen on n Summer
From the New York Times.
Summer literature is apt to find itself be-
tween f1msy or tasteless covers, and the
woman who is willing to take a little pains
ito do away with an ugly thing slips on as
quickly as may be an adjustable cover that
glorifies at least the exterior of the volume.
1T is pity. It.. may be added. that some
Transforming touch is not available for the
interior well occasionally.
/! Some years ago these slip covers came
into vogue. and were made for the most
Fart for magazines. but. as a clever woman
says. "Au. or, nearly all, novels are of the
same size. and If you make one or two good
covers a bit larger all around. you can read
in peace and elegance the summer through"
One of the very handsomest designs which
the season has shown is of heavy white
duck. and the work of making IL is Sigh;
In the extreme. Following the craze for
white and silver, 1t Is braided in an all
over pattern with silver braid TIE girl
VINO made It Is astute and declares that
sort of thing is for effect and temporary
use. not for any permanent value. so she
did all the work on the machine. and OBJ
tanned a really brilliant cov,- with very lit
IL,
drew the pattern herself on the under side
ard then ran fine silver braid through the
attachment of the machine. The entire
process occupied but a very few minutes
time, yet the cover is a strikingly elegant
one. and harmcnizes to perfection with its
owners duck suits. 1t is flexible, as all the
best covers are, and has no inner lining.
Its pockets are folded under just halfway
of the cover, and are laced to 1t with silver
cord. The lining of the whole is white
India silk. As its owner freely admits the
machine work Is not high art, but IL is
effective aad II serves its purpose exceed
irgly well.
49, A-second cover that has been seen upon
the same piazza and as rival to the duck
is OF CID 'pnk" linen, and shows one OF the
latest notions in embroidery. At each of
the four corners and in the center is a
seini-conventional figure outlined with a
couching OF gold and darned Nth silk of a
shade darker than the men. In me iarning

pieces. however, and the law provides that
their bodies need not lie on the execution
grounds longer than two days before their
relatives can take them away and bury

as to his crime, and after this Is taken

Queer Methods of strangling.
This strangling is done in a curious way.
There Is hole in the door of the cell Just
large enough for piece Of rope about the
size OF clothes line to pass through. A
moose Is made at the end of the rope and
this moose Is placed around the criminals
neck. The other end of the rope Is put
through the hole in the door or the wall
and the police pull at the rope until they
orlng the mans chest and neck above and
below the hole and until the neck breaks
and the man is dead. The question as to
whether a thief be strargled or decapitated
gepends upon the nature of the offense.
Strangling Is much the more respectable
way Of dying. Sometimes this Is brought
about by hanging. The thief's neck and
hands are tied to a post, SO that his feet
are some distance above the ground
About his ankles stout rope is then fast
ened, and to the end of this a stone several
times as heavy as his body, is hung OF
course. the man dies.
Killed by Sheet of Paper.
Another method of execution is by suffo-
cation, and this, strange to say. is done
with paper. The man is laid fiat upon his
back, and a sheet of Corean paper Is
spread over his face. This has been soaked
in water, and fits over the mans face be-
ing pressed down 50 that it makes a YER
liable death mask. shutting out every bit

sword which has been used for years for
this purpose. 1t is said indeed to be five
hundred years old, and IL has hashed up
thousands OF necks. The worst of the
rebels are cut into six parts. as was Kim

less serious offenses are simply decapitated.

or concubines of the officials. After this re-
bellion, the mothers, the wives and the
daughters of all who have taken up arms
against the king will become the common
property of the government and of the
magistrates of the provinces in which they
live. They will be dragged from their
homes to be concubines and slaves. As
their beauty wanes, they will be handed
from one high official to a lower until they
descend to the bottom dregs of the govern
that anybody will be bound to respect, and
their only chance of happiness will be
in death.
