Breed of Fowls.
Perhaps no kind of fowls has been
more extensively bred. both in this
country and abroad, with the result
that a great variety of breeds have been
produced from the three original species
of game fowl. OF these three varieties
the Dark or Red Indian game has been
hitherto the most popular, but a new
variety, the White Indian, is now being
introduced and is predicted by some to
be the coming fowl
The leading characteristics of the
games are a strong beak, long, sharp
and well curved, head long, thin and
tapering, the wings very strong and OF
medium length, the legs, set rather
wide apart, are long, clean and bony,
the feet broad and spreading, with long

darning of socks or the weaving OF

The idea of this cleverly devised
workbag is borrowed from Partisan

q cargo of toothsome dainties, to
some fair one, who, after she had rified
the pretty trifle of its sugary contents,
was supposed to wear it at her side as
a receptacle for sewing materials.

its debut upon this side of the water,

COREANS DEMAND REFORM.
Powerful Organization Formed to Drive
Out Foreigners,


LONDON, July 30.-As the result of in
quiries made of experts in eastern poll
tics and persons who have resided in
Corea, the representative of the Associ-
ated Press learns that widespread discon-
tent exists In Corea because of the cor
ruption and misgovernment that eyery-
where prevail One of the most powerful
revolutionary factors in the country Is a
quasi religious sect called Tong Hak,
which ascrbes the precarious condition Of
Corean trade and commerce to the pres
ence OF foreigners in the country. This
sect has set for itself the task of Kidding
Corea of the hated foreigners. and has
threatened the japanese and other foreign
residents. Among the charges brought
against the foreigners is one that they
have caused an enormous increase in the
prices of food stuffs, without any benefit
accruing to the Coreans.
The king of Corea possesses no real au-
thority, and he is in constant terror of a
re volution that will sweep him from his
throne. He is heavily in debt, and the
whole country is in state of anarchy. To
this condition of affairs is due the revolt
that recently started in one of the prov
inces.
Last year SO, 600 Coreans, armed and un-
armed, threatened to march on the capi-
tai, Seoul, and expel the foreigners. This
rebellion was suppressed, but the country
has been disturbed ever since. Reforms In
the administration are regarded as abso-
lutely necessary, not only to save the
commerce of the country, but for the
safety of foreigners.
Advices have reached here indicating
that the Japanese attacked the Chinese
troops who landed at Asan from the
transports that escaped from the Japan
ese warships. It is added that China has
prohibited the expectation of rice or grain.
Torpedoes have been laid in the North
channel and the entrance of Yang Use
kiang river. The Chinese government is
buying war material freely.

quarters. The Chinese residents of Japan
are greatly alarmed at the threatening
outlook and are fleeing from the country
in large numbers. At Toxic the convic-
tion is growing in official circles that the
Chinese negotiations are simply pretext
to gain time in order to allow China to
concentrate her forces for the purpose of
making combined attack on the Japan

ceived at Toxic that the main body of the

FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION
Thrce Men Killed and Another Terribly
SohIded.

ASHLAND. Pa. July 30.-One out of a
nest of six boilers at Lehigh Valley No. 4
colliery exploded Saturday night, in
stantly killing one man and severely in
iuring three others, two of whom have
since died. The dead are; John Miller.
