A DINNER IN KOREA.
1t Is a Ceremonial That Extends Through
the Entire Day

'Korea, the country which caused all
the trouble between China and Japan,
has many queer social customs" said
j. A. Morrill,, land | remember going
to banquet given by a member Of the
foreign Office there, which, i'll many re-
spects, was quite unique. The guests
arrived long before the dinner hour, for
i'll Korea an affair of this kind lasts all
day, and were ushered into a pavilion
adjacent to the one in which the dinner
was to be s4rved. After several half
hours had been whiled away in smoking
and in conversation the dinner was at
last announced, and we wero summoned
into the other hall
''As soon as we had entered the Off
Gals 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
heapod with food of all kinds in brazen
dishes of homispherical shape. For the
first course we had soup and sui, which
is a kind Of wine, and for the second the
walters handed around some of the 9TH
CIR dishes which stood on the table.
These contained meats of various kinds
beef, pork and fried fish cut in thin
yellow slices. At this juncturo there en-
tered several Korean singing girls, clad
in the gaudiest costumes, and whose
business it was to make themselves gen
orally agreeable when at q banquet, for
they constitute all the 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 zcst to tho occasion.
Long as it is, Korean banquet
eventually comes to an end, and this
one closed with a 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 the performances of
the singing girls we summoned our
chairs and were carried to OUT various
home, at least feeling much wiser by
having participated in ono of the queer
customs of a queer people. st. Louis

ROEEEO BY PARROTS.
These Birds Play Part In Shaping tho
Destiny of America.

Destiny OF America.
A flight of birds, coupled with sail
or's superstition, robbed Columbus of
the honor Of discovering the continent
1t is a curious but historical fact When
Columbus sailed westward over the 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 ZIG nau-
teal miles more to tho east.
After a 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 a flight of parrots,
which took wing i'll that direction. 1t
was good luck to follow in the wake of
a flight of birds when engaged upon a
voyage of discovery-a Widespread su-
perstition among Spanish seamen of
that day-and this change in the great
navigator's course curiously exemplifies
the influence of small and apparently
trivial events in the worlds history.
If 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 a
Roman Catholic Spanish population in
stead of Protestant English one, cir

Costume and Mortality.

A remarkable effect of costume on
mortality is shown in very instructive
manner by one cf the English registrar
generals reports. 1t appears that among
children aged from 1 to ) years there is
an equality in the number of deaths by
scalds and burns among boys and girls,
but from to 10 double the number of
girls to that of boys die from these
causes, while from 10 to 20 there die
102 women and only ~ men, and from
20 upward II women and % men, show
ing the influence of muslin and fiounce
in producing death, Notwithstanding
the greater caution of the female sex.

silver; for the appreciation of silver
and its increased use as a money
metal tends to tighten the weight OF
national and private Indebtedness by
increasing the supply of legal tender
and on-redeemable currency. 1t
seems probable, however. that the
money power has gone as far as it
can, for the time being, in the direc-
ton of universal gold monometallism
and that reaction. if not now at
hand, may be looked for in the near
future. This will naturally result
from "a contraction of the money
supply in the gold standard countries,
and large increase of currency in
the silver standard countries. In
the former, merchants and manufac-
turers will continue to do business
on a falling market, while in the
latter the increase of currency will
bring about gradual rise of prices,
consequent intense business activity.
All the progressive silver-using coun-
tries will flourish as never before in
their history, while the weaker and
nonprogressive ones will be absol-
utely at the mercy of the money lend
ers. This reaction will be in the
interest of the silver miner, and when
it once becomes generally apparent,
we may expect to see better feeling
in the silver producing sections.
Meanwhile the battle of the stand
ards will go on, with all the greed
of the usurer, all the rapacity of the
monopolist, and all the cunning of
prescription and hereditary privilege
on the side of gold monometallism,
opposed on the other hand by all
those whose enlightened sense of
justice forbids them to add to the
already we'll nigh hopeless burden of
the toiling masses. 1t may be thati|
in some now unexpected way the
hand of Providence will be interposed |

There is really nothing that pays so
we'll as doing ones duty. Sinking
has never been profitable or pleasant
from Jonah's time down to ours. Most
of us know what it is to go about our.
work with irresolution and great dis
satisfaction with regard to results,
just because of some neglected duty
of the morning which ought to have
been done first. 1t might be only so
simple a thing as writing letter,
which some far off watcher is looking
for with anxious interest, and which
we know ought to have been done,
but still put off; but this neglect will
do much towards making us uneasy,
and SO far paralyzing our working
power.
If you have anything to do, do it
and get through with it; then you
can go heartily about the next bus
mess at hand. If the work is one
of kindness and blessing to another,
then will you find it doubly for your
interest to do it promptly. The
Lord is the best paymaster, and he
notices even cup of cold water that
you give 10 refresh another. He
will give tenfold into your own
bosom all that you bestow on others,
whether it is kindly words or ma
terial aid | could fill a fair-sized
volume with instances of this kind
that have come within my own obser-
walton or experience. If you do not
believe in the philosophy, try the
experiment for yourself. Not that
you should do good for the sake of
the reward; but when the Lord gives
: us promise, it is but an act of faith
to look for its fulfillment. He has
said, "Give and it shall be given un,
to you; good measure, pressed down
and shaken together, and running
over" and thousands can come or
the witness stand to-day and testify
that He is true to His word.

Importans Points About CoBee.

IF you desire the best possible cup of
coffee, buy the coffee in the berry and
brown and grind it at home. As a rule,
coffee is overreasted. The moment the
berries acquire a golden brown tint and
oily stains appear they should be taken
from the oven, and little piece of but
ter melted over them adds to the rich
ness of the berry. If they are left until
dark brown, the oil, which contains the
aroma Of the coffee, evapOrates, and the
dark liquid which is the result Of coffee
making with burned berries is devoid of
perfume and flavor
One Of the best blends Of coffee is
one-half Mocha and one-half Java.
