Among tho many interesting facts
to he gathered from Mr. Savage Ian
doris book on Korea, lately published,
by no means the lenst striking is tho
author = statement that tho native queen
lis n,uoh in favor of tho emancipation
OF tine Korean women.
But unfortunately the sympathy Of
her Korean majesty does not seem at
present TO have doue much toward inn
proving the lot of her feminine subjects.
for We are told that work of eyory kind
il done by tho women alone, who arc
practically tho slaves of their husbands.
lt would seem, after all, that the Ko-
rean queens leaning toward general
feminine "omanoipati6n" is nothing
more than what theologians call "pi-
GUS opinion, for Mr. Savage Landor
says there are Tongues in Scout that
say that the queen actually rules tho
king, and therefore through him tho
country, and that ho is more afraid of
her gracious majesty, mis- vito. than Of
the very dovil himself "
If this DO so, tho queen seems rather
selfshly inclined to contine tho practi-
cal realization OF her new woman
theories to her own palace. Lady 3
