"Pncking on Of widows,

A pastime which obtains among the
farm classes of Corea, known as the
packing off of widows" consists of
raid by some disconsolate widower
and his friends on some village known
to contain young widow, the forcible
abduction of the lady in question and
her marriage to the widower. An in
stance of this kind has recently come
to our notice. A widower living in one
of the villages of Kangwha, with II
frineds, went to hamlet close to the
walls of Kangwha city, where a widow
lived, and seized and carried off, after
somewhat of battle. young lady.
It so happened, however, that they had
mistaken the house, and unfortunately
got hold of the wrong lady. Early the
next morning an indignant posse came
in pursuit, but the men who had com
mitted the dastardly deed succeeded in
eluding them. The young lady, how
ever, was rescued, and after the house
of the widower and its contents had
been completely demolished she was
escorted home in triumph by her hus-
band and his frineds.- Kobe (Japan)

they can secure ready entrance. As
their name indicates, they live in

corners. Their powers of locomotion
give them the entire freedom of the

cumstance that the city is the center
of very large grain trade, and that
