An Coreans are overjoyed at the as
surance that their king is going to be
married again aG an early date. Legally,
there has been no marriage in Corea
since the queens murder two years
ago. The kings marriage means a
great deal to the people of marriage
able age for If the king be single the
law says that no marriage may take
place in the land till he marries. The
king takes precedence in matters mat
rimonial, and all good COreans, who
abide by the letter Of the law religious
ly and patriotically postpone their we'd
ding day until the king officially greets
his royal spouse.
The strict letter OF this law is not
devOutly observed throughout all
classes Of Corea. The common people
do pretty much as they please in the
matter, for the authorities, realizing
the antagonism it would raise, do not
prosecute them if they marry.
Among the better classes and the
nobility, though, no one thinks Of
marrying. To do so means instant
loss of caste. The COrean -Four Hun
dred will never open its doors to peo-
PIE who have married while the king
was single.
AS marriages in Corea are arrange
ments in which personal inclinations
never play any part, it is not so diff
cult to refrain from marrying. The
Corean never falls in love. 1t is net
considered the proper thing to do. All
necessary arrangements are made by
/ the two families who wish their chill
dren to intermaTry. The two people
most interested are never consulted at
all.
Since the murder Of the queen none
Of the members of good families have
married But the people have long
been impatient for the king TO marry,
so that it might be permissible for
| them to follow his example.
Over a year ago they began to eX-
press their discomfort openly. The
kings advisers pleaded with him then,
and pointed out to him that unless he
married serious consequences might re-
suit.
The king looked about him for a
wife and, forgetful Of his three-score
years. hit upon a maiden of noble
family not yet 16 years old.
His ministers frowned upon his
choice and used every effort to dis
suade him. The king for some time
declared that he would marry the girl
despite their advice to the contrary
but the ministers finally succeeded in
convincing him that it would be folly
/, For the Coreans would rather thai
their king should remain single forever
than that he should so far forgei
time honored customs as to marry q
girl so much his junior.
The COreans, like the Chinese anC
japanese. do not cOuntenance MAR
riages when there is a great disparity
in the ages. The sunbeam kisses MOI
the moonbeam they say.
Although the king was willing tC
give up the maiden Of his choice, h'
refused for a long time to consider any
Of the other damsels that were offer
ed him by his advisers. OF late th'
clamorings of the people for the re
marriage OF their king have grown 81
persistent that he has yielded to th'
opportunities of his ministers, and ha
agreed to marry the woman they hav'
selected for him.
The future COrean queen is said Z
be about 80 years Old and very hand
some, according to the Oriental styh
Of beauty.-San francisco Call.

The writer has examined many brains

negroes and others sunk in ignorance.
He has invariably found the layer Of
vascular, or gray matter, TO be thicker
than that of Daniel Webster's brain
Elephants, PROPOSES, whales, dolphins
and the grampus all have this layer
thicker than the most intellectual men.
Another great objection to locating
mind in the gray matter of the brain is
that this substance is found in the in
terror part of the spinal cord and in all
the nerve centers throughout the body
So that, if mind is situated in it, it is
not confined to the brain, but dwells in
the spine also, and is distributed all
through the human frame.
Still another objection lies in the fact
that wherever the gray matter exists
near the surface of the brain it consists
of three distinct layers, separated by q
white substance, and the outermost lay
er is white, not gray. DR. Joseph
Simms in Popular Science Monthly.

Charles MeTyon-- born in lS21--was
brought up 10 the navy, going first in
1887 to the Naval school at Brest. As a
youth he sailed round the world. He
touched at Athens; touched at the then
savage coasts of New Zealand; made
sketches, few Of which, in days when
his greater work was most of il done, he
used as material for some Of his etch-
ings. Art even then occupied him, and
deeply interested as he soon got to be in
il he seems TO have had a notion that it
was less dignitied than the profession OF
the navy, and after awhile he chose de-
liberately the less ignified-because it
was the less dignified. He would have us
believe so at any rate. He wished his
father 20 believe so. And in 1915, hav-
ing served creditably and become O
Lieutenant, he resigned his commission.
A painter he could not be. The gods,
who had given him even in his youth a
poetic vision and "a firmness of hand,
had denied him the true sight of color,
and remember seeing hanging up in
the salon of Nj. Burty, who knew him,
large impressive pastel of a ship cleav-

was green; for Meryon was color blind.
He would have to be an engraver. He

was, he engraved some verses of his
