When free-born Corean boy reaches the
age of fifteen, he has small wooden label
cut, which he carries On his person. This
label, or name tablet" is two inches long
and half an inch broad. Across the top is
inscribed in Chinese characters the name
of the ward to which the boy belongs;
then, in a line below, the designation
leisure fellow meaning that he is not in
service, and his name, with the date of his
birth. This label must be sealed by an
official of the treasury, who brands it
with hot iron. On passing the military
or civil examinations, a label of horn is
substituted, and an ivory label takes the
place of this when the highest grade has
been reached. Free-born boys jealouSly
guard their right to carry these labels.
There is peculiar custom in Corea, by
which men are not allowed to go out at
night, this privilege being accorded to the
women alone An explanation is found in
the fact that, according to primitive be-
lief, man belongs to the masculine princi-
pie of the universe, the sun, and, there
fore, to the day, while woman belongs to
the feminine principle, the moon, and,
therefore, to the night.

vAGARIEs OF THE MEMORY.
Cases of Mental Lapses Which Are
Due to Various Causes.

Cases of Mental Lapses Which Are
Due to Various Causes.
From the st. James Gazette
Men have been known to leave home for
a rev days, commit some serious crime and
return quite oblivious Of what they had
done. Very interesting is the case, so COM
mon among soldiers who have fought bat
tle' and who, when it is over. cannot recall
the events for several hours The same
thing happens to those who have escaped
from shipwreck and to aeronauts who have
just descended from the clouds. This is the
temporary loss due to strong emotion. Then
tbere are curious examples of temporary
loss OF memory owing to fatigue
Sir Henry Holland, when down a mine in
tne Harz mountains and suffering from IA
I2ue. completely forgot his German and
could not remember a word of 1t until he
lad rest and refreshment after ascending
we all experience this in less degree
Sometimes 1t is an injury which causes the
blank in the backward gaze An English
professor once received a violent blow on
the head, and at once forgot all his Greek ;
from the same cause. Mr.. Whymper, in his
book on the Alps, tells how he fell over
rr1ghtful precipice, 200 feet high, with the
result mat his past was. for time, wholly
blotted out of his memory.
The most singular cases of memory loss
are In connection with language. 1t is
cutie common in our hospitals to see a sick
German unable to speak a word of the Eng
lsh he had thoroughly mastered. A very
singular instance of this is reported from
New York. Many years ago a DIR. Scandell
ded in hospital In that city. When first
admitted he could speak only in Englisn
as the illness progressed he forgot that Ian
guage. and could now only converse in
French: but on the day of his death anoth-
er change occurred, and he could speak
nothing but his own anguage-Italian.
Many varieties Of this loss of memory Of
words exist.
A clergyman. some time ago. lost all
recollection of words: but he could still re-
member the letters of which they were
composed, and could express his ideas free
ly by spelling the words. An officer suf
fered from slight attack of apoplexy, and,
as result, forgot all but very few words;
When he tried to speak he merely uttered
nonsense: but if book or manuscript were
handed to him he read it with perfect pro-
priety. One Of the most extraordinary of
all memory-losses Is when a person forsets
how to write with his right hand. but still
has the power to do so with his left hand.
In such a case. after he has written with
his left hand the desired sentence. he can
copy it with his right hand.
When the memory of words is gradually
lost. 1t invariably progresses in one par:icu-
lar order First the proper names go. then
the common nouns, then adjecuveS; and
this stage Is followed by failure of the
power to recollect events. Very many peo-
PIE suffer from the first degree-excess!ve
find it difficult to recall proper names.
Drunkenness Is a well-known cause. and
there is the very curious case of man who
mislaid a package while drunk, forgot where
he had put. it when sober, and had to get
drunk again to find 1t.

KINGBIRD AND sPARRows.

The Little Birds Objected to the Pres
ence of the Big and Stately Visitor.
From the Boston Transcript.
Probably more than a thousand people
stopped by the frog pond on Boston Com
mon between and 6 o'clock in the evening
and looked up into the trees. 1t was ap-
parent that something unusual was going
on The air was filled with birds uttering
sharp cries. and the din was kept up for
over half an hour.
kingbird started all the trouble. Where
he came from nobody knew, for kingbirds
are not common birds; that Is. not birds
common in the Common. One of the spar
row sentinels, which had had little to do
this summer except to note the inroads OF
the tussock moth, awoke from doze in
the branches OF tall tree on the north
side of the pond and spied the intruder
His sharp cries for help brought a numpef
of other sentnels from trees in the vicinity.
and they gathered around the kingbird at
safe distances and chartered.
The kingbird sat still. Then the sparrows
take lorg, for sparrows of all ages and all
sizes had begun to crowd around to see
what was the trouble Within two minutes
after the first alarm the air in the vicinity
was black with sparrows. They rushed In
from the trees along the Park street wall,
they flew up from the subway sand heaps,
and even the aristocratic Beacon street
sparrows came down to die for their coun-
try, IL necessary. Then began q vigorous
and concerted attack on the kingbird.
which sat like a stole. unconscious of the
fact that he had no more right on the Com
mon than has an anarchist orator.
The sparrows began by swooping down on
the intruder as though they wanted king
bird feathers to trim their hats, but they
wisely kept out Of the reach Of the big fell
lows beak. They darted at him from iii
front and behind, from all sides and from
above, all the time keeping up screaming
that caused the people on the walks to stop
and see the fun Now, anybody who has
ever seen kingbird harry big hen hawk
knows that kingbird is game, but the
thousands or more sparrows in the air be
gan to make 1t uncomfortable for the in
truder Finally, when the kingbird saw
the people gathering on the walks he be-
gan to fear an attack from below, and.
with what, in bird language, probably
stands for "hoarse, mocking laugh" the
villain fed over the public garden. A
small body Of sparrows gave him an escort
out of sight but most of them remained to
talk over the affair.

Two COmedians' Day of Rest With
BostOn's Foremost Tragedfan.
From the Chicago Record.
II don't believe l should care TO have John
L. Sullivan for referee" says William II.
Crane. Sullivan doesn't like to stand by
ard see any man whipped; his synlpa thies
are always with the under dog.
Some years ago Nat Goodwin and I had
an experience with Sullivan; it was in what
call my halcyon days. Nat and had been
celebrating the close of the season, and we
came ashore one Sunday morning from my
yacht determined to be very c;rcumspect all
the rest Of our lives. We went to seaside
hotel for the purpose of getting breakfast
when whom should we fall in with but John
L. Sullivan and one of his boon compa lions,
a Boston alderman. Both John and his
friend were pretty well corked up and they
insisted that We should go with them 20 call
upon another friend, Patsy Somebody, who
was training for fight with Mike Some
bodyelse. at small country roadhouse about
four miles away.
Goodwin and did our best to shake the
two, for we feared that, full Of liquor as hey
were, Sullivan and his satellite would get us
into trouble But Sullivan wouldn't take
no for an answer, and finally, just to keep
the peace, we went along in their wagon to
visit the training grounds. Well, when We
got there, Patsy and his trainer were having
their usual morning bout. The trainer was
big, broad-shouldered good-natured fel-
low, genial and smiling of face as a well-fed
child. He was a little too much for Patsy,
and was giving him some pretty hard exer-
else. l suppose Sullivan fancied that the
trainer was unnecessarily severe; at any
rate, saw Sullivan's face grow darker, and
l knew that trouble was brewing. Finally
Sullivan slipped off his coat and threw it
over the back of a chair; then, waiting until
he saw the trainer advancing to attack Pat
sy with redoubled energy, Sullivan reached
out that right arm of his, and his big fist
caught the good-natured Irishman full in
the mouth.
1T didn't look as though Sullivan put any
force al all into the blow; 1t seemed to
If he merely put out his fist-so-and let lhe
other fellow run against it. But, gracious.
you should have seen that Irishman keel
over. I'll bet he went back twenty feet be-
fore he stopped. Then he turned a back
somersault over the hind wheel of our was
on and fell to the ground, apparently dead.
He didn't regain consciousness for two
hours. and you can imagine that those two
hours were the most miserable Goodwin and
1 ever spent We fancied ourselves forever
disgraced by being pulled into court as wit
neSses, perhaps as accessories to the killing
of this innocent man. Our suspense was
simply dreadful. Finally, however. after
hunting up a doctor, and working over the
fellow for two hours, the victim came to.
The fist thing he did was to put one hand
feebly to his mouth, If to learn what
damage that swollen orifice had sustained.
And then, smiling amiably, he said: BE
jaberS, that was wicked thrusht" You
see, he never lost his temper at all; as l
have told you, he was the best-ratured fel-
low l ever saw"

A ConstabIc,s Wife. Curiosity.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Mrs Hickman, wife of Constable Richard
Hickman of Whitestone, L. l., yesterday saw
a pair of handouts on the bureau, where
her husband, who, in his official capacity,
has frequent use for such adornments, had
left them before going to the city. The
constables wife saw that they were DIFF
ferent from any handouts which she had
ever seen. and promptly put them on to
see how they worked. They worked beau
tifully. AS an advertising agent for the
merit of that peculiar make of bracelets
Mrs. Hickman would be a great success.
They resisted the efforts of friends and
neighbors, sympathizerss and blacksmith.
and finally, when the constable came home
on late train he found his wife fast
asleep, her hands tightly clasped. He had
The key. and after explanations gave her

Los Angeles Woman Refused to Dress
but Was Arrested Nevertheless.
From the San Francisco Chronicle
1t is not often that the ha5itats of the
city police station are treated to the sight
of a woman, supposedly in her senses, an
swering to her name in a condition border
ing on nudity, but Mrs. F. Koch prefers that
method seemingly to being clothed. Mrs.
Koch was brought to the police station
during the afternoon in ner night robe.
Some time ago the woman was arrested
and fined $50 on conviction of disturbing
the peace. Upon three different occasions
Judge Owens ordered the police to bring
her into court
Yesterday Officer Dyke went to the wo-
claiming she was a very sick woman. The
court was not satisfied and ordered Officer
Dyke to fully investigate the affair. and IL
ii was found that she was trifling with the
court, to bring her in at all hazards. Dyke
in the afternoon took up his watch and
was rewarded by seeing Mrs. Koch hang
ing out a good-SiZed washing in her back
yard.
He made a break for her, but she man
aged to get inside the house, where she
stripped and went to bed. She locked the
doors, but Officer Dyke had his orders and
was soon inside. She fo'lsnt like a ugress
and refused to dress, whereupon Dyke and
his assistants wrapped a blanket around
her and brought her in. She now occupies
one of the women's cells, but refuses to
dress herself for the court, and Judge
Owens is at sea as to what to with her.

Appearance of the City and It's Sub

From John Sherman's Recollections
It was my habit while Congress was in
session during the war to ride on horse
back over the region within ten miles of
Washington, generally accompanied by
some army officer became familiar with
every lane and road, and especially with
camps and hospitals. At that time it could
be truly said that Washington and its en-
virons was a great camp and hospital The
roads were generally very muddy or eX-
ceedingly dusty. The great army teams
cut up and blocked the roads, which were
of either clay or sand, but the air was gen.
orally refreshing and the scenery charming.
do not know of any city that has more
beautiful eHVirons, with the broad Potomac
hills and valleys, the woodland interspersed
with deciduous and evergreen trees, the
wide landscape, extending to the Blue
Ridge on the west, the low lands and ridges
of MARYLAND and the hills about Mt. Yer
non. The city of Washington, however,
was then far from attractive. 1t was an
overgrown village, with wide unpaved ave-
nues and streets. with 61,000 inhabitants
badly housed, hotels and boarding houses
badly kept. and all depending more or less
upon low salaries and employment by the
government.
All this has been changed. The streets
and avenues have been paved and extended.
The old site is now well filled with ccm-
Portable mansions and business blocks, and
a large portion of the District outside of
the city is being occupied with villas and
market gardens. The mode of living has
greatly changed. Before and during the
war, Senators and Members lived in board
ing houses in messes, formed of families
of similar tastes and opinions. Society," if
1t may be SO called, was chiefly official, of
which justices of the Supreme Court and
cabinet officers were the head and Senator's
and Members of Congress were the most
numerous guests.

IT STOPS HASTY MARRIAGES..
Influence of Education in the Choice
Of Husband.

From Vogue.
The higher education of women has from
the start shown a tendency to disncline
those who took the college courses toward
early marriages and toward imprudent
ones-quite large percentage of them,
moreover, taking up careers and remain
ing single. A recent canvass of college
graduates is said to lave shown that while
90 per cent of non-college women become
wives, only 55 per cent of college graduates
resign their lives into the keeping of hus-
bands. From other sources it is learned
that those who marry do not swell the lists
of invalid wives: neither do 80 per cent of
the children born to them figure in NOR
tality tables, is the CHASTITY fact with
the everyday woman's children. College
women are not apt to marry man to save
Elm, and thus insure for children morally
weak or vicious fathers; neither does love

than the self-respec citing independence of
the bread-winn;ng positions that are now
within her reach. Years ago some conser-
vative men had the perspicscity to realize
and the courage to state that fuller life for
woman meant the lessening of her interest
in marriage 0he only profession our fore
mothers had been permitted to cons.derD
and that she would be harder to please and
more deliberate in her choice. That the
prophecies have come to pass is matter toi
congratulation, or for condemnation, &C.

country is astonishing.
In Corea boys and girls are not allowed to
play together after they are seven years
old. The most popular toy in Corea is call
ed 1.-The erect-standing one." 1t is an image
of paper. rounded at the bottom and filled
with clay, that it always stands erect.
1t represents woman, sometimes riding a

Shuttlecock.
A favorite game in Corea is shuttlecock
kicking. The shuttlecock is fiat ball of
cotton cloth filled with clay or ashes. hav-
ing a feather from a pheasant's tail stuck
in the top. Shopkeepers play the game in
the streets to keep their feet warm. The
ball is kicked from one person to another.
In Japan a battledore is used, the shuttle
cock being seed of the soap berry tree,
in which several small feathers are fas-
tened. The japanese foot ball is 4 bag of
leather filled with hair.
Finger Game.
A popular game in Japan, known in va
rious notifications in Corea, is called
ken" The players extend the fingers of
their hands simultaneously. One or the
other is beaten If he holds out a finger of
less power than the enc extended by the
opponent. The thumb is counted the
local idol, the foretinger a foYl, the
middle finger as a gun, the ring finger as a
fox, and the little finger as white ant.
If the thumb be opposed to a forefinger. the
former wins, because fowls are slain as
to idols. If thumb be opposed
to ring finger, there is neither victory nor
defeat. because gods and foxes are sup
posed to be on friendly terms. If thumb
be opposed to little finger, the former is
because white ants often de-
