CUTTING oEE coRsANs. PIeTAIL
Great Grief Over an Edict of the Japan
csc COnquerorS.

Great Grief Over an Edict OF the Japan
csc COnquerors.
Rev. a. +. Moore, missionary of the
Presbyterian church for four years in
Seoul, Corea, arrived at San Francisco
on the steamer Rio en- route for home,
accompanied by his family.
Some months ago the japanese, who
dictated the appointment of the Corean
cabinet, caused the japanese police to
cut off the hair, or topknot, so called, of
a great many Coreans. The tOpknots
are a sign of distinction. They are worn
only by married men, and no man is
supposed to have properly asserted
himself until he is married and has a
topknot.
The cutting off of these appendages
caused great grief. There were many
remonstrances and increased dissatis-
faction. However, things have so far
improved now that an edict has gone
forth allowing the Coreans to wear
their topknots. The consequence is
that many whose hair was cut off
have collected it again and fastened it
on. so that their happiness has been re-
established.
The gentleman says that many of the
Coreans are embracing Christianity.
He says there is great disquiet in Corea,
and that bands of dissatisfied natives
are going about the country robbing
and pillaging. Travellers are not safe.
The king. whose consort was muir
dered over year ago. is still at the Rus
sian legation and largely under its con-
troll. There is much dissatisfaction be-
cause of this. A new palace is being
built near the legation for the king.

Relation Of Crime to Occupation.

Relation of Crime to Occupation.
Curious statistics concerning the re-
lation of crime to occupation were
brought forward at the recent meeting
in Geneva of the Anthropolog.cal con-
gress. From these it appeared that in
a group of 10000 farmers. O.S4 per cent.
were criminals; in trades, per cent;
IN manufactures. 1872 per cent; in the
professions, 2.3O per cent. One would
suppose that professional people con-
tIibuted a smaller proportion to the
criminal classes than those in trades
and manufactures. but it seems that
men who live by their brains have
greater opportunities for rascality than
those who live by trade or handicraft.
The go per cent. Of criminals in the
professional class are thus distributed:
Among 10000 cfergymen. OIL are Grim
irGls; among teachers. l.5S per cent;
physicians, 1.S6; chemists and apOthe-
carries. $40; government employees. rs;
diplomats. lawyers. notaries, and the
like. 2S.13. In these last three classes
are found most of the prisoners, for
gers. counterfeiters. embezzlers, swim
dlers and ''genteel'' thieves.

AKANsAs DAY SONG.

Somebody up at North Maple Grove
has got up the following verses which
will be sung at that school today. We
have read better poetry, but the senli
ment is all right:
Oh. Kansas tits of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
OF thee we sing.
Land where the grass and grain
Wave over hill and plain
And prohibition reigns,
OF thee we sing.
Oh, Kansas! tbs of thee.
Land where the sunhowers be,
OF thee we sing.
Land of the natural gas
Where breezes school flags watt
Ger many a tower and staff,
Ofthee we sing.
Oh, Kansas it's of thee,
Where hOppers used to be,
OF thee we sing.
Land where the numbers great
Ofcattle, hogs and sheep.
And poultry hard to beat
OF thee we sing.
Oh, Kansas 'Jis of thee,
Where breezes blow so free,
OF thee we sing.
Land where the salt and coal
Is mined from many hole,
And much that can't be told,
OF thee we sing
Our fathers God, to thee.
Author of liberty
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright
With freedoms holy light
Protect US by Thy might,
Great God, our King"
