The seven wonders of Korea

According to q Chinese authority.
Korea, like the world of the ancients,
has its "seven wonders" Briefly
stated, they are as follows:
First. A hot mineral spring near
Kin Shantao, the healing properties of
which are relieved by the people to be
miraculous. No matter what disease
may afiict the patient, a dip in the
water proves effcacious.'
The second wonder is two springs,
situated alta considerable distance from
each other : in fact, they have breadth
OF the entire peninsula between them.
They have two Reconsideration one
Is full the other is always empty ; and,
notwithstanding the fact that they are
connected by y subterranean passage,
one is bitter and the other pure and
sweet.
The third wonder is q cold wave cave
"a cavern from which a wintry wind
perpetually blows. The force of the
wind fromthe ave is such that q strong
man cannot stand before it.
A forest that cannot be eradicated Is
the fourth wonder. No matter what
injury is done to the roots of the trees,
which are large pines, they will sprout
up again directly, like the phoenix
from her ashes.
Inc NTH Is the 12oSt wonderful oil
all. 1t is the famous floating stone.'
1t stands, or seems to stand, in front oil
the palace erected in it's honor. 1t is
an irregular cube of great bulk. II
appears to be resting on tho ground,
free from supports on all sides but,
strange to say, two men at opposite
ends of q rope may pass it under the
stone without encouutering any OBJ
staclo whatever.
The sixth wonder is u shot stone
which, from remote ages, has lair
glowing with heat on the top of a high
hill.
The seventh and last Korean wonder
is q drop OF the sweat of Buddha. Flo,

SAVING SWEET POTATOES.
as to Keeping Through the
Winter Months.

In keeping sweet potatoes through
the winter months, or from harvest
till harvest time again, O few essen
tials of success must be borne in mind.
j. The potatoes must be fully matured
when dug. 2. They must be- dug be-
fore frost, If practical or as o there
after as possible, or at any rate before
the crown of the potato becomes frost
bitten. A potato that is cold bitten
cannot and will not keep. 3. They
must be kept clear of frost, rain and
moisture rising from below. 4. They
should be covered lightly until they
have gone through their sweat, aud
are thoroughly dry, putting OF more
cover as the weather grows colder,
until by the time severe weather sets
in there should be sufficient dry dirt
above and around them to effectually
exclude all frost.
One fact to which wo wish to call
special attention is that more potatoes
are lost annually through wrapping
them up, in their winter,coat too early
and keeping them too warm than are
lost by undue exposure to old In
handling them use boxes, never
baskets. Sort out all that are cut,
broken, bruised or abraded for i'm
mediate use. They may be fed to
hoSo, SoWod IL SNSh iloi oCS.
They may be kept in bank. 1t is
advisable not to bank exceeding fifty
bushels in any single pile. They may
be cellared in bulk or in barrels, boxes,
bins or hogsheads. tho interstices
filed with dry sand or any dry fine
dust, the collars to be dry and airy
and clear of frost. In the absence OF
sand d. dry fine dirt. chat, cut hay or
straw, cotton seed, notes from the gin,
or oven leaves will answer. In cellar
ing them. tho smaller the piles, tho
easier they can be looked through and
any rotten ones taken out.
In banking it il best to disturb the
bank as little as possible. After pota-
toes are once dry, after going through
their sweat, if any OF them rot it is US
ually a dry rot, and does not spread to
any great extent. A moderate amount
of dampness does not hurt them, but
water standing around them either in
the field, while growing, or after they
are banked away, causes them to sour
, hen they speedily rot.

Jonah Held Up rs An Example to
Preachers ON This Line.
The Rams Horn, which is a novelty
in religious journalism, has the follow
ing observations on ministerial Imam
ces in the course of an article on The
Prophet Jonah:n
ga remarkably noticeable thing
about Jonah is that when he boarded
the ship for T%arshish, ne paid tho fare
himself. He didn't try to get q pass on
account OF his poverty, or expect q re-
duction because he was a preacher, but
pulled out his wallet and laid down the
cash, and went to his state-room with
out any letting down in his ~self-re-
spect. III he had any such thing as a
ministerial whine, he left it behind
him when he travelled. He did not 60
go the captain with a long face and
complain that God had been taking
such poor care of him that unless he
cold travel 81 nominal rates he couldn't
go on that ship, but he paid the fare
in full, and he paid it out of money
he found in his own pocket.
Unlike Jonah, there are some
preachers who are not as anxious as
they should be to render an honest
equivalent for what they get, and then
there are 9th ers who hurt the cause OF
God by always being in a begging atti-
tude for the church. Jesus Christ was
poor but he eve begged. God always
put it into the heart of somebody to
minister to him according to his need,
and he is still taking ARE of his SER
wants who are faithful. A law was
handed down to Moses from heaven
that the faithful OK who trod out the
grain should not be muzZlcd, and this
ought to be evidence enough that God
means that the preacher who is any
account shall always have enough to
eat. The OK didn't have to and
groan for stl aw enough to keep him
alive, but had q God-given right to
help himself to corn whenever he
wanted 1T. Certainly there is no reason
why the faithful minister should not
have rest from anxiety about temporal
things, in be ieving that the God whom
he serves viii supply all his temporal
needs. About the last thing Christ id
for his disciples was to prepare for
them q brea kfast, and yet too many
preachers appear to be afraid to open
the Bible very wide for fear they will
have to die in the poor house,"

The eyes of the civilized world are
o resting upon the new Gear of Rus
STA, Nicholas III, and millions arc INK
iously awaiting any indication that
might tend to show what his future
policy will be relative to important
matters of state.
The question of how the Hebrews
will be treated during the new reign is
a most interesting one, and one that
especially interests this country. Since
h reign of the deceased Emperor be-
gan, In 1881, the immigration from
Russia and Poland to the United States
have numbered not less than 500, 600
souls. A greater portion of these peo-
pie were not voluntary immigrants, but
w~ere'Jewish refugees driven from their
native country by the cruel policy of
the Car. They were either to be con
lined to a special district or submit to
exile.
An exchange makes the following
interesting remarks on this important
Russian question
Tho American people have never
denied the rites of hospitality to fugi-
tives from oppression and persecution
who have asked to sit at their hearth.
Nor r they disposed to turn back
worthy and industrious immigrants
