Among the many interesting facts
to be gathered from Mr.. Savage Lam
doris book on Korea, lately published,
by no means the least striking is the
authors statement that the native queen
sis much in favor of the emancipation
of the Korean women.
But unfortunately the sympathy of
her Korean majesty does not seem at
present to have done much toward i'm
proving the lot Of her feminine subjects,
for we are told that work of every kind
is done by the women alone, who are
practically the slaves of their husbands.
It would seem, after all, chat the 10
rean queens leaning toward general
feminine emancipation is nothing
more than what theoIogians call ''pi-
Gus opinion" for Mr.. Savage Lander
says there are tongues in Seoul that
say that the queen actually rules the
king, and therefore through him the
country, and that he is more afraid Of
her gracious majesty, his wife, than of
the very devil himself. "
If this be so, the queen seems rather
selfshly inclined to confne the practi-
cal realization of her ''new woman"
theories to her own palace. Lady 8

Scales are now made of such nice ad-
justment that they will weigh anything
to the smallest hair plucked from the
eyebrow. They are triumphs of mechan-
ism and are inclosed in glass cases, as
the slightest breath of air would impair
their records. The glass cases have a
sliding door, and as soon as the weight
is placed in the balances the door slides
down. The balances are cleared again
and made ready for further use by the
pressing Of button, which slightly
raises the beams. Two pieces of paper
Of equal weight can be placed in the
gcales, and an autograph written in
pencil on either piece will cause the
other side to ascend, and the needle,
which indicates the divisions of weight,
even to the ten millionth part of a
pound and less, will move from its per-
pendicular. A signature containing nine
letters has been weighed and proved to
be exactly two milligrams, or the fifteen
thousand five bundredth part of an
ounce troy.-Current Literature.

HANKLA BROS. GET 1T.

MIR. r. D. MCOLLUM HAVING QUIT.

Mr.. AEcCOIIum Says the Rent Was Too
Heavy.
The Messrs. Hankla Bros are again
proprietors of the National the deal be-
ing consummated today whereby all the
furniture and fixtures of the hotel were
delivered to the Messrs. Hanklas by the
First National bank of this city 4
o'clock this afternoon.
Mr.. Hankia said today: "After travel
ing over many different states, we have
fully decided to remain in Topeka,
where we have resided SO many years,
and will use our utmost endeavor to Gre
ate and maintain for the National
a reputation that will be second
to none in the state" The ho-
tel was furnished deliberately and
opened by the Hankla Bros. in 1890 and
conducted by them for four years-they
Collum took charge. There will be
some interior changes made and gem
eral house cleaning. decorating, ETC. The
National was completed in 1890 at cost
of about $4,000 and has a most excel
lent location.
F. D. McCollum, proprietor of the Ma
tional hotel, surrendered his lease of the
hotel yesterday afternoon to the First
National bank. Mr. McCollum went
down under the enormous rent which he
says he had to pay for the house. Though
he has built up the trade of the house
and seemed to be doing well, he could
not meet the expenses and had to give
up. His lease of the house required the
payment of $500 monthly.
Mr.. McCollum seemed very much
downcast when a JOURNAL reporter

Mr.. McCollum took charge of the
hotel September 1. He is an old hotel
man and came here from Kansas City.
He has made u great many friends since
he came to Topeka and has increased
the popularity of the hotel.
Messrs. Hankla Bros. are hotel men OF
wide experience, and with their long
acquaintance with Topeka custom, ought
to make the best of the hotel Hotels
that they have run here have always
been popular.

Not Easy Job When tho Lawyer Tries

A dialogue about Heaven took place
between a member of the Baltimore
county bar and lady eighty-two years
old, who was wnder. examination in an
equity case, says the Baltimore Sun.
The lawyer, to test the lady's faith il
the hereafter, asked her if she thought
they would know each other in Heaven.
She replied by asking him another
question as to where Heaven was. His
reply was not satisfactory to the old
lady, and she told the lawyer that if he
wanted to question her about any
place he must locate it. Then she
added: ''Of course we will know each
other in Heaven, for our bodies will be
the same there, except that we will not
have any blood in u.s." The lawyer
next asked her if she thought people
would have teeth in Heaven. She said
she could not answer that definitely,
but she thought they would. "One
thing was certain" she added, people
would have teeth in the place allotted
to the wicked, and she could prove it
by Scripture" Glow can you prove
it?" said the lawyer. why" she re-
piled, ''the Scripture says the wicked
shall be turned into utter darkness,
where there shall be weeping, wailing
and gnashing of teeth, and how could
they gnash their teeth if they did not
have any?" The attorney did not pro-
coed any further on that line of exam

Showing the Fluctuations In Prices OF
Foreign Mobiles.
The week on change has been very
dull, although prices have held up pref
ty we'll, with the exception of English
lords. These closed very low, which is
not to be wondered at, as that has been
the tendency of the British nobility for
some time. There was a time when
these were certain of bringing good
figure in the American market, but Of
late the demand here has fallen of
somewhat, and the only good figures
mentioned IN connection with these
lately are those of the chorus girls that
they have been marrying. The last re-
ported sale was at about $500, 600.
Prime Al italian mobiles are in good
demand, although the confidence of the
street was shaken some time ago, when
it was found that one whole invoice was
unstable.
German counts closed very strong.
The demand for Greek princes seems
to have entirely disappeared and we
have not heard of a single transaction
in this line for some time.
Quite "a trade has been built up with
Japan of late years, and relatives Of the
mikado always find quick takers. Ow-
ing to the anomalous state of the market
in respect to this class of goods, we are
unable to quote figures, as it is gener-
ally understood that they have usually
been had for the asking.
French mobiles are staple, and the
prices during the last season have been
all that could be desired. The quality
of the recent importations has also been
above the average. This class of goods
can be obtained now in open mart in
almost any style of package and at
prices to suit all grades of buyers, rang
ing from $500, 900 for princes of the
first empire upward, until the figures for
mobiles belonging to families dating from
Charlemagne are beyond the pocketbook
of the ordinary purchaser.
OF late there has been little market
for Spanish titles, as some of the more
recent experiences with these would
seem to indicate that they are not likely
to wear well.
