Korean hats cost from $40 upward, and

Cornwall ?" Irving remarked interr0ga-
tively.
"Why. yes," said the mining captain,
with a genial smile; II carried my life in
MY hands there eleven years ago. So
rapid were the changes OF government In
those DAYS that when we went down in the
mine In the morning we did not know
what regime we should be living under

very careful how we spoke Of men and

There is one class of Government off,
Gals. however, which Korea has which we
do not find in America, and which are now
restricted to Korea and China. These are
the censors. They are appointed by the
King, and it is their business to travel
over the country and see that justice is ad-
ministered. There are perhaps dozen Of
them under the Government. They go
about in all sorts of ways and perform the
part of official detectives. No one is sup
posed to know who they are. They may
appear in the disguise of coolie or a ped
der, and they will settle in town ruled
by an unjust magistrate and live among
the poor. They find ont whether the peo-
pie are com plaiaing, and if their COM
plants are just they have the power TO
remedy them. Each of them carries the
kings seal, and they have the right to
order any head off below that of a Gov
ernor. They have of late years, however,
been very corrupt, l am told, and have
been bribed By the officials. The jap
anese, who ars now controlling the coun-
try, are doing what they can to put down
this bribery. It is herculean task, and it
is believed by the foreigners in Korea that
the cleaning of the Augean stables of
Korean official corruption is bigger job
than the conquering of China. How it
will turn out, time only can tell.
