SLAVE GlRlS IN KOREA.
Their Salc a Considerable Source of Rev
 enuc to the Royal Treasury.

There arc slavo girls innumerablo around the royal palaces of tho Hermit Kingdom of Korea. It is difficult to find out how many thero arc. One official will say hun drcds, another thousands. A consul who has had opportunity to learn the facts in the caso says there arS v 800.
 It is equally diflicult2 ;4jnrrl whore they come from. Their appearance shows that they arc not from any ono stock. Sono are Koreans, and some arc Tonqhaks from Guing -Shang-do, in tho south of the kingdom; sono show Japanese blood, oth CTS Chinese and still others Mantchnrian. They aro of all sorts and types. All speak Korean, and nearly all havo a smattering of Chinese. They aro all we'll brought up and quiet, polite and industrious. They begin their career as domestic servants when nero children and arc seldom found in the royal establishment after they aro 25 years old. A few who arc unusually good looking become royal concubines, and n large number arc taken for the same purpose by the princes and lords of the realm, and it is said for very large price, Tho rest are sold as commodities to tho highest bidder and tho proceeds paid into the royal treasury.
 Tho latest available blue book of Korea ---1sS4-in summarizing tho royal income, includes theso entries: 70, 0l7 stonc of best rice; Al, ASA stone of beans; 172, 713 nyang in money; 24, coo nyang from sale of slave girls
 A nyang is q string of 100 copper coins whose value in American money ranges from 500 to 5000 to the dollar. The mar kct value of Q girl in Korea varies from $l0 to $40. Upon theso figures tho mon- arch must raise and sell in tho public market every year from 80 to 480 young women.
 This trado in human beings is consider ed perfectly legitimate and has como down from time immemorial It is not confined to tho royal palace, but is practiced to a certain extent all over Korea.

She had class of a, dozen or more little black skinned urcbins out on tho floor, whom for several days she had been teaching the words "dog' and ''cat.'' She had written tho words on the board, and had used them in connection with the picture of house, and had had the children write the words and draw houses. This day, to vary the exercise she drew the picture of tree In the top of the tree she placed the cat and at tho foot the dog Then at the bot tom she wrote, "Tho dog has run the cat up tree.'

 It Was During HaiIstorm That the Fish

 Colonel Harry Moore of Rocky Ridge tells a story which would make Ananias blush were it not for the fact that Mrs. Moore corroborates 1t. "One Sunday" Harry says, two had very heavy hail storm. How it did hail, thought The hailstones were larger than peas, and they came down with chatter that was almost deafening, Well, it was soon over, like all storms in these parts, and when the sun came out took walk down to the lake. When l got there, 1 was greatly surprised to find large number of appar- entity dead fish floating around on the sur. face-not little ones, but good big ones, from to 10 inches long. When l recov. cred from my surprise, I gathered up dozen or two and took them to the house.
 Yes" chimcd in Mrs. Moore, and cut them open to sec if they were good to cat, and what do you think-they were chock full of hailstoncsl I think that when tho hailstones started to splash on the water tho trout thought they were salm- on eggs and jumped for them, and when they he'd swallowed enough they froze stiffl' And" Harry then went on, when tho sun had been shining on them for short time they thawed out and swan away again e In half an hour thero was not fish to be seen.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

Those present at O'Brien's Thursday night to witness the performance of the Patti Rosa company who witnessed ths presentation of a medal to Miss Gladys Wallis by the members of the Birmingham Rifles, together with the certificate of hon. orary membership in the company, and who had the pleasure of witnessing a sim liar presentation some years ago to Miss Patti Rosa, no doubt were affected by the spectacle. Miss Patti Rosa, who by her clever work on the stage had greatly en- deared hers eli to the pltrons of O'Brien's, was sorely missed on this occasion, and the Knowledge of her death, which occurred in August last, was again vividly drought to mind.
 There were none present on Thursday night but noticed the tears flowing from the eyes of Mir. John Dunne, husband of the lamented Patti Rosa, and they felt that this was a beautiful trit ute of heart felt and grateful remembrance on his part to those who by thu honoring Miss Wallis were revering the memory of their once beloved honorary member.
 It was pathetic scene, and one which was felt deeply by all present. The hes are popular in the city, and 10 be an hon orary member of the organization is gift worth the coveting.
 A pleasing noticeable feature was the presence of the plrquet ushsrs of the opera house, all members of the Jefferson Volunteers, in full uniform, wearing the colors of the K, ties.
 THE AL G. FIELD MINISTRIES.
 Our fun-loving readers will hail with de- light the announcement of the Al c. Field minstrels, who are to appear at O'Brien's opera house on Wednesday evening, Jau- uars 30, for one performance only. Here is the chance to 'drive dull care away, ,' which our care burdened business men and weary labo'ers cin both enjoy.
 The Al c. Field Minstrel company is the only company of its kind that presents it's performance with all the stage accessories including scenery and calcium lights that go to make stage realism what 1t is tooay. NJ dramatic production is staged with more care than Is this performance. The first part requires seven elaboIa @ drops aud four set pieces of special scenery. The p .ntomme oi Aladdin has fourteen special drops and innumerable set piec of beautiful scenery. Treasure eve, the sul tan's palace, Aladdn's castle and other notable scenes in Aladdin are gems of scenic art.
 TLis engagement is a return date, and, judging from the first reception, it Is safe to predict large house.

Good Templars and Catholicism

IooQ i eIHplalS duu NatAoa1SlSAAA'
The following communication appeared
IN a recent issue of the Evening Journal:
Regarding Roman Catholics in secret
societies, sec in to days issue you er-
roneously refer to the Good Templars as
the same society as the Sons of Temper
ance. The is q wide distinction be-
tween the Good Templars and secret
society as viewed by the Catholic Church
while the Order of Sons of Temperance
is as much secret society as the [. 90.
F. or X. of P. Good Templary has no
secrets from the priests or high officials
of the Church. They have free access to
the rituals, pass words, signals, etc and
all the so-called secret work, as freely as
their Church members who Join the or
der.
One of the first assurances given to
the initiate in the Good Templars' soci-
ETY. is that the pledge contains nothing
at variance with his church obligations
or inconsistent with his duties as Chris
ton or citizen.
There are tens of thousands Of eminent
Catholic Christians who are Good Ten
plars, and they are under no pledge Of
secrecy from their pastors. No oath is
taken in becoming a Good Templar
There is nothing partisan in the order.
While dietinctively christian, it is so I'M
sectarian that the Roman Catholic and
other christian denominations work har-
moniously for the one desired end, which
is to rescue the victim of the drink habit,
prevent others from acquiring the habit
and. to abolish the saloon. The method
is to organize both sexes, all ages, adher-
ents of all political parties and of all
christian religious denominations "in an
unceasiug warfare" against the strong
drink curse. Party politics and sectarian
subjects are not allowed discussion in
it's meetings.
Che best temperance work in any
church IN Minnesota has been in the Ro-
man Catholic Church, and the best tenn
perance organization, and far the largest;
is the Good Templar Society. The Cath
Ole Church does not throw away any
such effective means to accomplish the
end.
No, the I. O. G.. T. is not secret so.
cisty as understood by the church, and
not urder it's ban.
The pass word in the Good Templar
Society is the foundation OF it's financial
system, and for nearly half century,
and tried by millions of members, has
proved to be valuable-plan. The word
is changed quarterly, the same word be-
ing used all over the world from Norway
to South Africa. No member can attend
the meetings without this word, nor can
the word be obtained till the quarterly
dues are paid, nor can missionary work
be accomplished without money.
Again, when members violate their OBJ
legation of total abstinence, discipline is
only before brethren, and from members
come words OF encouragement to renew
the struggle. A public meeting is no
place for such sacred helps. None know
this 80 we'll as those conversant with the
confessional.

But let details drop aside. When q
giant tree rises into the air the monarch
of the surrounding forest, spreading afar
it's branches, we lose no time in following
out the small fbres which bring to it's
larger roots food and life from the sur
rounding earth; we pause little indeed at
roots Of any kind. We view the tree
and, from it's size and branches, we
know that all is we'll with the parts OF it
which escape our eyes. Sowith Christ
and His Church. Why cavil over small
questions of dates or books, over pas
sages in their recitale? Why demand
explanations of every word and omission
of friend or foe in contemporary history :?
See Christ in His work! Whence is He?
Whence the power and the wisdom and
the virtue which have gone out from
Him?

centuries ago; in and around the city Of

port proclaimed.
And now /: pronounce the name of
names, Jesus of Bethlehem and Calvary,
and I bow hnmbly before Him as my Sa
vior and my Incsrnate God. In defend
ing Him I defend the Bible-the Old
Testament which He made His own, the
New, which is the direct record of His
preaching-as in defending the Bible
defend Him.
With time at my disposal / could an
alyze IN detail the attack of unbelief
against the New Testament and it's Christ
and show how utterly unfounded and
unreasonable they are. The several
books are Get aside because some do not
contain the same narrative as others, as
if any one purported to be complete
recital of Christ and His revelation. In
Temptations are discovered as unbelief
finds convenient to do so, arbitrary ex-
plantations are offered when those Of the
gospels are deemed inadmiasable; coun !.
sells Of perfection intended for the few
are taken as precepts given to all and
condemned as practically impossible.
Metaphors and parallels figure as literal
doctrine; the mission at Christ is traves-
tied. It is asked why Christ did not
launch the world into quick current OF
material progress. And He is blamed
for revealing mysteries and speaking Of
future punishment for the unrepenting
sinner. Maniteetly if God is to be per
