The Cnrenn Army.

The colors used in the new Corean uni
form are different from those of any of the
armies Of Chrstendom. The shirtlike
waists are of purple cotton, faced with red;
the hats are black, and there is a bright
red band about them. The pantaloons are
purple, and the feet are swathed in great
white boots of padded cotton.
During my stay at the Corean capital the
native general-in-chief invited me to attend
review of the troops. | rode in chair
borne by four big hated Coreans to the
drill grounds at the edge Of the palace, and
saw 400 soldiers go through all sorts of evo.

down in military tactics.
The general would give a command, and
every soldier would lift his leg and hold it
at right angles to his body until another
word brought it to the ground again.

throwing out of the fists, and other exer

"Thcre isn'tthe money in taXidermy that
there used to be-" said well known taXid
ermist. II don't think there are more
than two taXidermists in New York today
who make living without having some
other iron in the fire Fifteen years ago
there was money in the business. We used
to get ten dollars a piece for stuning pet
cats and dogs and we could run Off two
and three day There isn't any call to-
day for that sort of thing. Our principal
sales now are stuffed doves for funeral
purposes. We sell about 1000 a year. In
the lower part Of the city they bring 81 .2J
or $3.50 a piece, and uptown three dollars a
piece. A dove, you know, is really no
larger than n robin, and these so called
doves are in fact pigeons Genuine doves
would be worth ten dollars a pair.
Most of these pigeons are bred by fan
ciers on the outskirts of Baltimore and
marketed in New York. We were the first
to introduce pigeons in New York to be
used for funeral purposes. That was in
1875, and at the start he got $3.50 for each
one We used to turn out $500 week
There are so many now in the business,
however that the price has been cut down
one-half.
Nearly every taXidermist does his own
shooting. He usually takes run out to
Long Island in the season, and shoots snipe
and any other game he comes across. Some
times he can sell a case of stuffed birds to a
private family at good figure but unless
he has some big business house to work for
he will have hard time in making both
ends meet New York Telegram.
