A DINNER IN KOREA.
II u n Ceremonial That Extends Through
tho Entire DaY.

Korea, the country which caused oil
the trouble between China and Japan,
has many queer social customs, saio
i A. Morrill,, land / remember going
to banquet given by member OF the
foreign office there, which, in many re-
spects, was quito unique. Tho guests
arrived long before the dinner hour, fol
in Korea an affair of this kind lasts all
day, and were ushered into pavilion
adjacent to tho one in which tho dinner
was to be served. After several hall
hours had been whiled away in smoking
and in conversation the dinner was at
last announced, and we were summoned
into the other hall.
'As soon as we had entered the Off.
cials began to divest themselves Of some
of their clothing. for parts Of a natives
wearing apparel seriously incommode
him in taking food. We took our places
at a large rectangular table, which was
heaped with food of all kinds in brazen
dishes of hemispherical shape. For the
first course we had soup and sui, which
is kind of wine, and for the second the
walters handed around some Of the 9th
er dishes which stood on the table.
These contained meats of various kinds
beef, pork and fried fish cut in thin
yellow slices. AT this juncture there en-.
tered several Korean singing girls, clad
in tho gaudiest costumes, and whose
business it was to make themselves gen.
orally agreeable when at n banquet, foI
they constitute all tho female society
that there is in that country. Their sing
ing was not what an American would
call good, nor was their dancing, but
their conversation and presence certain.
ly added zest to tho occasion.
Long as it is, Korean banquet
eventually comes to an end, and this
one closed with decoction of pear juice
colored crimson and spiced with pine
nuts. This we slipped at our leisure,
while the attendants lighted pipes for
us. After watching tho performances Of
tho singing girls we summoned our
chairs and were carried to our various
home, at least feeling much wiser by
having participated in one of the queer
customs of queer people st. Louis

The mills of the gods grind slowly,
but they grind. Tho time had come to
carry out the dream of my girlhood,
when, through Mr. Isaac II. Bailey, l
appealed to the present owners of John
Browns farm to help me save 1t from
auction. Owing to the generous response
Of one woman and IS men, the farm of
240 acres was bought, good tenant &C.
cured, and when I visited the Adiron-
dacks In 1899 our property had trebled
IN value. The house was in good repair,
and John Browns grave was the Mecca
Of tourists.

fund were Mrs. r. @. Watterson, Boston,

With more faith than ever in the ul-

the people, every care being taken to
preserve the house intact know that
Mr.. Schultz, Mr.. Tousey, Mr.. Chitten-

cordially indorse the proposition of state
ownership, the last named subscriber
suggesting that tablet be placed near
the grave of John Brown to bear the
names of the purchasers of the farm and
the donors to the state of New York.
Mr.. Henry Clews, who as trustee
holds the deed Of the estate, is ready to
do our bidding. therefore ask my col
leagues or their representatives to give
him the authority needed to accomplish
the purpose for which John Browns
farm was saved from auction. Kate

A Long Life,

Sir Benjamin Richardson, M. D.. Of
England, thinks that the normal period
Of human life is about ITO years. and
that seven out of ten average people
could live that long IL they lived in the
right way They should cultivate a
spirit of serene oheerfulness under all
circumstances and should learn to like
physical exercise in scientific way. No
man, he says, need be particularly alb.
stemious in regard to any article of food,
for the secret Of long life does not lie
there A happy disposition, plenty Of
sleep, temperate qualification of all
the natural appetites, and the right kind
of physical exercises, will insure Ion
gevity to most people. New York

ROBBED BY PARROTS.
These Birds Play Part In Shaping the
Destiny OF America.

1hess niTuS Eihy u inc
Destiny OF America.
A flight of birds, coupled with sail
or's superstition, robbed Columbus OF
the honor of discovering the continent
1t is q curious but historical fact. When
Columbus sailed westward over tho un-
known Atlantic, he expected to reach
Zipangu, Japan. After several days
sail from Gomera, one of the Canary is
lands, he became uneasy at not discov-
ering Zipangu, which, according to his
reckoning, should have been 216 nau-
tical miles more to the east.
After long discussion he yielded to
the opinion Of Martin Alonzo Pinzon,
the commander of the Pinta, and steered
to the southwest. Pinzon was guided in
his opinion solely by flight of parrots,
which took wing in that direction. It
was good luck to follow In the wake of
flight Of birds when engaged upon q
voyage Of discovery-a widespread su-
perstition among Spanish seamen Of
that day-and this change in tho great
navigator's course curiously exemplifies
the influence Of small and apparently
trivial events in the worlds history.
II Columbus had held to his course,
he would have entered the gulf stream,
have reached Florida and then probably
have been carried to Cape Hatteras and
Virginia The result would probably
have given the present United States q
Roman Catholic Spanish population in
stead of Protestant English one, a cir.
oumstance of unreasonable Importance.

that 1t is nonsense to speak of electric
