The Switzerland of Asia.

Korea, says Frank G.. Carpenter,
may he called the Switzerland of Asia.
1t is land of mountains and valleys,
of crystal lakes and trickling streams.
We rode for days through one beadti-
ful valley after another; now going
for miles through fields of rice lands,
laid out in terraces and covered with
water, out of whose CLASSY white sur
face the emerald green sprouts were
just peeping. Such valleys lie right
in the mountains, and the hills which
rise from them are us ragged and as
bare rs the silvery mountains of
Greece. They change in their hues
with every change of the heavens, and
they now look like silver, and again
turn to masses of velvet and gold,
spotted here and there with navy blue
pines. The clouds nestle in their hol-
lows, and their tops, in the ever-vary-
ing air of Korea, assume nt the edge
of the evening all sorts of fantastic
shapes. Our first days ride was
through valley which was as rich as
guano and as black as your hat. 1t
was cut up with creeks, some of which
were half mile wide, and at these
we found rough men clad in white,
with their pantaloons pulled up to
their thighs. As we came up these
men bent their backs and our grooms
crawled up them, and clasping them
around the neck they were carried
through the water. The porters re-
ceived one cent for each trip, and
General PAX told me that this work is
sometimes done by men out of charity,
and that the gods esteem it good act,
and the water which washes their legs
ut the same time carries away their
sins and gives them clean road to
heaven. Other devotees stand with
cold water in the streets and give
drink to all that thirst.

At Cornell University the faculty
have settled the question of athletics
and scholarship. 1t has been charged
by many writers that the college men
who go upon the football teams and
boating crews are poor students.
There is little ground for this asser.
ton, declares the San Francisco
Chronicle. except in few cases, but
President Schurman of Cornell de-
clares that hereafter at his college no
one will be allowed to take an active
part in athletics who has not reached
a certain grade of scholarship, and
only on q certain number of days will
athletes be permitted to absent them
ts,lves from classes. This is move in
the right direction and other institu-
tions would do we'll to follow the ex.
ample of Cornell.

FASHIONABLE CLOAK AND COSTUME.

attention to the letter of fashion any
how. They take the suggestion and
dress it up to suit their individual
needs, and that makes American
women the best dressed in the world.
American women, us a class, have not
worn the excessively wide skirts COM
planned of by the French authority.
The well-groomed woman has too
much sense to go to the extreme in
anything.
It is true that the skirts are going
to be wider, but have you seen the
fabrics that they will be made of?
Why, they are SO sheer and fine that
you will be able to draw tho whole
skirt through your finger ring.
The stores are full OF the new sum-
mer goods. Organdy will be the
craze, if the counters will tell the
truth, and anything prettier than
organdy can scarcely be mentioned.

more the vogue, these pretty flower
sprinkled designs would accomplish it.
but as ribbons are already worn OH
everything everywhere, one can only
say that new phase of them has been
added.
There is decided change in sleeves.
They drop-or they droop-just as
you like to state it. For ball gowns,
they simply slide right of the shoul-
der, as in the design, which represents
a bowknot sleeve of lisse caught in the
center, with a flower or any fancy
thing you like to put there. Some
bodices have straps Of velvet Or ribbon
passing over the shoulder we'll to the
front. The "drooping sleeve" has not
much in its favor, unless you have
very fine pair of shoulders. Its effect.
as will be seen, is to lengthen the
shoulder effect by showing the upper
arm, and to broaden one across the
bust by making the puff widen out at
the elbow. This puff in some of the
very latest sleeves is three yards
around. This sleeve, on woman who
could wear sackcloth and grace 1t, will,
of course, make stylish appearance;
but on woman who gets her ideas of
what Is stylish from the magazines of
her modiste, and makes no effort at
adaptation, this sleeve will look like
the mischief, till we get used to it.
Crepon is the gown goods OF the
present moment, and unless there is
rapid change in sentiment it will be
worn oil the spring. 1t comes in wool,
silk and cotton. 1t costs fortune
for the finest, and a few cents for the
cheapest, and it all has singularly
distinguished air. They come in plain
and fancy weaves, in colors aud in
plain black.
The fat Dutch bonnet is hideous,
but it is here. 1t looks like o pan
cake on spree. 1t squats down on
the head behind, just above the knot
of hair, and suddenly bulges out an
the sides in rosettss or bows or arti-
fetal flowers, and sprouts up in front
in surprising and very disconcerting
manner. Another phase of it is a
gigantic bow with rows of immense
half-blown roses along, back of and
above the ears. There is nothing else
Of it worth mentioning. One OF the
spring shapes in walking hat is rather
chic. 1t has a rosette right in front
and row of loops dropping little
over the brim above with rosette OF
velvet above each ear.

quantities of lace. BY the way, lace
will be more worn during the summer
than ever before. The always favor

For the organdies and mulls, some
delicate white laces are exhibited,
which have net tops, with borders OF
Milanese, Spanish and Pompadour
patterns interviewer in bewitching de.

much in demand as ever, but will
come in the soft Chsntilly patterns.

Pneumatic Stone.cutting.

The dressing of stone by machinery
has not hitherto been an easy task, nl-
though some tools have been belt
driven with fair success, says th- Phil
adelphia Inquirer. The use of the
pneumatic stone-dressing machine has
of late, it is said, given great satisfac-
tion. The pneumatic tool is mounted
on movable carriage, upon which it
can be swung around on q horizontal
axis, while it can also be shifted back
ward and forward on runners, giving
it playing area twenty feet in dia-
meter at any time without moving the
carriage. The power is conveyed to
the tool through a gaspipe terminating
in n flexible hose, with which con-
nection to the tool is made. Steam
can be used, but compressed air at
seventy-five pounds pressure is pre-
ferred. The tool takes granite from
rough point of at least one inch
above the level and reduces it to the
finest six, eight, ten or twelve cut work
with great rapidity and cheapness, while
the quality of the work is improved,
showing that one stone-dreaser will,
with his machine, easily reduce sixty
superficial feet in nine hours. Among
the work done with 1t may be men
toned some OF that on the Iowa State

According to French military pa
per, the small arm projectile of the
future is the Hebler-Kruka tubular
bullet. 1t is made of steel, and has
a tube open at both ends running
through its centre. This tube seems
to have the effect of diminishing the
resistance of the air and of increasing
the steadiness of the projectile, so
that longer range and greater hatness
of trajectory are obtained without
any increase of muzzle velocity. 1t is
said that maximum range of 10000
metres was obtained and that at 6, 900
metres the bullet penetrated II! inches

Both Chinese and japanese have
shown in the war the excellent results
of American training, the New York
Independent notes with pride. In
1872 thirty Chinese boys, selected
from the best families, were sent to
the United States to be educated, and
others were sent later and put under
the charge of Yung Wing a graduate
OF Yale College. Subsequently it was
reported to the Chinese Government
that the boys were losing or had lost
their patriotism, and in 1881 they were
all recalled, and the system of educa-
ton was abandoned. OF ten Chinese
recommended for honors recently,
four were former America students.

In summer when the poppy-bed
Lit all the lawn with glory,
To shy, sweet eyes and down-bent head
He told the old sweet story.
In summer when the joyful swing
The bride-bells swept the land,
He drew golden wedding-ring
Upon her trembling hand.
In summer, when the sunshine made
A pathway to the sky,
Upon his breast she laid her head,
And did not fear to die.
