periodical seismic disturbance. Finally
there came along an old French half-breed,
a man with long hair and a mysterious
presence hiding many potencies of good
and i'll and in his presence one day Mr..
NJ. declared that he knew what to give the
patient. The conjuror had remedy
to his hand, one of the most singular
agined, one that might well have been
used in the lamentations of Indian prophets
and soothsayers. When the shaking tit
came on the sick man was to take two
frogs, one in each hand hold them up
before his face and breathe into their open
mouths. The shaking would then depart
and never return.
Of course such a prescription raised a
laugh, and laughing comments were made
on such a remedy as that.
But Mcintyre decided to try it, as that,
at least, could do no harm. He put on his
boots and waded out into the tangles of the
nearest morass, and finally caught two big
frogs of the sort called bullfrogs. They
were fine specimens of their kind with
deep green backs and voices that were ac-
customed to echo their deep diapaSon
among the neighboring hills. These he
put into deep tub, half filled with water
and put the tub under the bed of his
friend, all ready for the shake of the next
day, for that was the time when 1t was
due.
The next day at about 2 clock his friend
went to bed and, with what calmness he
could muster, awaited the shake.
On it came and Mcintyre pulled out the
tub, caught the frogs and gave them into
the hands of the patient. He held one in
each hand, with their big mouths toward
him, and breathed on them, holding them
firmly. The frogs were dead in three sec
onds and the man with the shakes got well
at once and never had an attack afterward.
It was absurd, but it was effective.-St.

the funeral. The ceremony usually lasts
for days, and it is kind of a cross be-
tween an African hoodoo show and an
Irish wake.
Graves in Korea are quite as important
as they are in China. Every family has it's
burying- ground, and the dead are carried
for miles in order that they may be laid
with their kin. The monuments are usu-
ally round mounds of earth, and the bigger
the man the bigger the mound. A rich
man will often take whole hill to him
self, and the cemeteries are usually located
on the sides of hills. When a man dies

They do this at night in the street in the
front of the door. The funerals of Seoul
have to pass out of certain gates of the
city, and must go through just at dusk.
The result is that they go to the grave on
a run, for if they do not arrive there in
time they will have to squat down and
wait till the gates open in the morning.
Such funerals are always accompanied by
men, and there is dancing and merry
making on the way. | saw number dur

would harden into stone. The shoes and
stockings were removed, and the workmen
set the child down carefully where the
cement was hardening rapidly. He was
not left for long--not long enough to grow
tired nor to complain that the cement was
cold.
But at night the child was very i'll, and

The Little Lecture That the Colonel
Gave Was Necessary.

/ Did you ever see a bird like that
alive?' demanded the colonel of the
young man who sat next to him
| He was staring at the strange speci-
men on the hat in front, which cut off
his view Of the stage, says the New York
! Recorder.
The wearer of the hat became intensely
interested in the play, and the chivalrous
young man giared at the colonel savagelY,
put made no reply.
Il say, did you ever see such a bird
alive? repeated the colonel, nudging the
young man vigorously TO enforce his at
tention. Then he answered himself:
NO, sir; no such bird ever lived. Look
at that combination of colors. Nature
isn't good enough as a pattern for these
millners. They must have impossible COM
binations and devise birds whose coIors
and shape would give an ornithologist the
nightmare
|. The young man glared. The wearer of
the hat became nervous.
There's a whole lot of sentiment vast
ed over the slaughter of song birds for
millinery purposes" continued the colo
kind are killed They are not wanted
Nature could not supply birds with such
want. Its the same thing in flowers
Why, 1 know a woman who insists on
having the rose in her hat dyed blue, be-
cause blue is more becoming to her"
Apparently no one was listening to him.
but the colonel knew the wearer of the
hat was not missing a word.

but when see an impossible bird like
that one it loses all interest," TO me- It's
like seeing a well-dressed man wearing a
celluloid collar. 1t looks cheap"
The woman in front turned slightly and
looked furiously at the colonel but he an
parently did not see her, and continued
just as the curtain was going down on
the first act:
You see. natural birds are expensive.
They cost three times as much as these
inventions of the milliners, made up Of
rubber, wire, glass and dyed goose fea-
theirs. That hat is a beauty and ] should
say it cost a good price if it did not have
that artificial bird on it. That makes me
suspect that it's all show and probably
Then the colonel went out to see 4
man" When he returned the hat was
gone Its owner held II in her lap The
colonel chuckIed to himself, those about
him smiled. and the woman in front was
apparently deeply engrossed in the "ads'
in her programme.
