and aside from their pompous airs and
queer customs they are gentlemanly and
refined. I remember one old fellow who
gave me dinner, and who furnished me
with his trumpeters, who had musical in
struments as long as themselves to toot
me out of the town. He fell in love with
my bottle of whisky, and mixed it with
pony or so of Chartreuse. He treated me
to some hot Korean wine, and between the
drinks offered me pickles and candy. He
lived about quarter of mile from the
guest house, and he came down to call
upon me in his own royal chair, which had
a leopard skin covering its back, and he
swayed to and fro and licked his chops as
he talked with me about America. | told
him about our great railroads, our big
houses and the wonders of steam. could
see that he thought was lying, though
he was much too polite to say so. AT the
close of his talk with me General PAX
gave him a present of an empty appollina-
ris bottle and this he considered really
great gift, as there is no glass in Korea. /
had some hairpins with me and little
looking-glass, and gave these to him for
the ladies of his family. This had to be
managed very adroitly, for it is not polite
in Korea to ask after the wives of your
friends, and the French legation in Seoul
had almost an international complication
the other day over one of its servants who
peeped over the walls of noble to look at
the girls.
This magistrate served his dinner in
brass bowls. These are used almost en-
tirely for cooking and eating in Korea and
the spoons are of brass, and also the spit
toons and other uncomfortable articles.
Every high official carries his cuspidor
with him, and each man has knife and
chopsticks Of his own, which are so made
that they hit into one another, the chop
sticks being fastened to the side OF the
knife. The meals are served on little in
dividual tables, about foot high and not
more than fourteen inches in diameter. In
most cases was brought bowl of char
coal and an iron pot, and was compelled to
do my own cooking. The servant would
get down on his knees and fan the charcoal
into blaze, sprinkling the chicken with
its ashes in the attempt. Once or twice [
tried to get PAX to do the cooking, but
upon his asking me as to how much sugar
he should put into the chicken soup / lost
faith in his culinary ability. In one or
two villages we could not buy chickens at
all on account of a recent cholera epidemic.

oRcAs ATTACKING a CALIFORNIA GRAY WHALE.

coming up again and hurting itself COM
pletely out of the water; and then we saw
that there were four or five orcas hanging
to 1T. There was boat full of Los An
geles people close by us, and we both
pulled as near as we dared to.
'Falk about fights! You could hear the
blows that whale struck the water mile
off; but the big fellow was no match for
the small ones. The whale was the whale
bone variety, with big mouth, but no
teeth so all 1T could do was to swing its
big tail, which the orcas lodged, hopping
over its back like boys playing leapfrog.
They meant business, however, and they
fought like bulldogs. They would rush at
the whale and bite big pieces out of its
jaw, being carried twenty or more
feet into the sir as it jumped. They
seemed to make for the head
altogether, and was told by an old whaler
that they would bite out the tongue en-
tirely; this they may have done in this
instance as in about half an hour the
whale stopped struggling and disappeared.
Whales VIII fight with their tails awhile,

the horseshoing, for instance. One of our
ponies had to be shod, and another time
we put shoes on the bull which carried the
baggage. The pony was first thrown on
the ground and his four legs were tied
together, so that he couldn't possibly kick.
Then the blacksmith pounded hoop-iron
shoes on his feet with rude iron hammer.
1t was the same with the bull, though one
man had to sit on his head while he was
being shod. The iron seemed to be very
good, and it comes from the mines in the
northern part of the country. The tools of
the country are made of it. and the farm
ing tools are very ingenious, the three and
four pronged hoes being quite as good as
anything we have in America. They
were making tools in this blacksmith-shop,
and all the tools and plows are made by
hand. The blacksmith had rude bellows,
which was worked by boy who stood on
a see-saw, and, by moving up and down,
pumped the fire into a blaze. In other
places l saw bellows which boys worked
by pulling stick in and out like that of
squirtgun, and everything is rude in the
extreme. Sometimes horses are shod by
being strapped up to poles, so that only
two of their feet can rest on the ground,
and the band which goes around the belly
holds the horse up while he is shod.
saw many evidences in my tour through
Korea of relationship which seems to ex-
ist between our American Indians and the
Koreans. The probability is that some of
these people made their way to the north
and crossed the Bering Strait into Alaska.
The cheekbones of the Koreans are high,
and l saw many faces which made me
think of our Indians. They are, of course,
far more civilized and better educated, and
they are a higher type than the savages of
the West. Outside of each town / found
rows of wooden posts which General PAX
told me were generals stationed there to
keep out the spirits. These posts had
hideously carved heads upon them, made
in fantastic representation of the human
face. They looked very much like the
totem sticks which you find in front of
every Alaskan house, and l found other
similarities here and there. In my tours
through interior China | saw many Indian
faces, and | met Tartars who looked very
much like the noblest of our Indian chiefs.
1t is a curious thing, by the way, that the
japanese look much like the Mexican
Indians, and the ethnologists may find
very interesting study in tracing out the
connection and the origin of these races.
The complexion of the Koreans is differ
