Koreans Seven Wonders,

The seven wonders of Korea are: G)
The marvellous mineral spring Of Kiu-
shanto, one dip in which is a sovereign
cure for all the~ills that human flesh is
heir to. (2l The double springs which,
though far apart, have strange, mys-
FERROUS affinity. According to Korean
belief, there is connection under
ground, through which water GIBBS and
flows like the waters Of the ocean, in
such way that only one spring is full
at a time. The water possesses a won
derful sweetening power, SO that what
ever is cooked therein becomes good and
palatable. (3) The cold wind cavern,
whence comes a never ceasing wind SO
piercing that nothing can withstand it
and so powerful that the strongest man
cannot face it. a. The 1ndestructible
pine forest, the trees of which grow
up again as fast as they are cut down.
(5) The floating stone, a massive block
that has no visible support, but, like
Mohammed's coffin, remains suspended.
(6) The warm stone, situated on the
top of hill and said to have the pecul-
iarity of spreading warmth and heat
all round it. ~ A drop of the sweat Of
Buddha, for 80 PAGES round which no
flower or vegetation will grow, nor will
birds or other living things pass over it.

Every now and then there crops out
in this republic the notion that if our
more cultured citizens were our rUI"G8
that we should be much better O. }F9
very much doubt it. II Our nlo-4 iAln-
~ citizens could rule Us, tL.o1 10 doubt
we should be better Off. But there is a
freakiness and finicalness, al inability
to give and take, a general rubbing and
cracking Of machinery among men de-
veloped only on the one side Of the
mind, which always everywhere makes
them Objectionable as rulers. Boxing
is just as likely to make man meek
as books, but if you have a bully to deal
with neither the boxing nor the books
will avail anything, and he becomes al
most more Objectionable as an editor
than as prizefghter. Of COURSE sport
will fail, just as every other agency
will fail, with certain men. On the
other hand, for the great majority Ct
men, we'll conducted sport will teach
them fortitude, gentleness, meekness
and fair play as no other agency yet in
vented by man can do.-Outing.

The Cause of Laughter.

Balm suggests tie explanation that
laughter is provoked by what he calls a
degradation. meaning that we laugh
when we all at once perceive something
degrading, trickery, weakness or a
pettiness in some person or object which
we respect, as when the infrnities Of
human nature disclose themselves in a
person of Importance Or when some
trivial affair occurs in a solemn cere-
mony to drag us down Or when the
wrong side of some great thing Or some
great man is exposed.
"The occasion of the laughter is the
degradation Of dignifed person or in.
,terest under circumstances that do not
excite stronger emotion. In all theo-
ries Of laughter the more or less impor-
tant fact is marked x X that the feel
ing of the ludicrous arises when some
thing which we respected before is pre-
sented in mean light, for we have no
disposition to laugh when something
that we already regarded as such is de-
picted as tricky and vile. Popular

Saint Norah and the Potato.

st. Norah was poor girl, says the
London Punch, who prayed St. Patrick
for good gift that would make her not
proud but useful, and st. Patrick, out
of his own head, taught her how to boil
potato. A sad thing and to be lament
ed, that the secret has come down to SO
few! Since the highest intellectual and
physical life is dependent upon diet
since the cook makes, while the physi-
clan only mends-should not she who
prepares our pies be as carefully trained
as he who makes our pills?
Certainly whatever may be the
knowledge or the ignorance of the serv-
ant in the kitchen, the mistress of the
house, be she young or old, ought to be
able, like St. Patrick in the fable, out of
her own instructed head to teach Norah
how to boil potato or broil steak so
that they may yield their utmost of rel
ish and nutriment.
Until she can do that, no woman is
qualified to preside over household,
and since few reach adult life without
being called to that position in the
household of husband, father or broth
er, the legend of st. Norah has wide
significance Companion.

Dangerous Thief.

A French actress, travelling about the
country, had for use in one of her plays
lay figure, skillfully put together and
iLo ssed IL u &ray9lIng suit. So says the
New Zork Herald, which proceeds to
tell a comical story about it:
At Marseilles it was left in the lug
gage room with other things. The Curl
osity Of two of the railway employees
being aroused at the sight Of it, they
took eff the coverings and resolved to
play joke On their comrades. They
placed the figure in an armchair at the
desk Of the cashier and shut the door.
When the employees on night service
came, they opened the door and were
surprised to see a man sitting before the
cash box. They Immediately closed and
locked the door and ran for assistance.
A policeman arrived, revolver in
hand, believing, like the employees,
that he had to deal with dangerous
thief. He called On the figure to sur
render and follow him to the station.
AS it did not obey the summons, the po-
liceman shut the door and went in
search of re-enforcements to surround
the place and thereby prevent the Gull
prit from escaping.
The door was again opened, the arm
ed force entered, and it was not till they
had suddenly bounced on the poor lay
robber that they discovered the joke

Male FoIiDity.

"Talking about the humanity of man
and the felinity of woman" said the
independent woman, "let me tell you
little story of a man and a cat. The
story was told to me by the wife Of the
man, who is a dOmesticated woman. It
seems that the family cat, besides being
of q spOrtive disposition, had more in
genuity than most cats Or understood
better how to relieve the tedium Of a
domestic existence. This cat caught q.
mouse. Being we'll fed, her sporting in
stinct came into play, and she kept the
mouse to amuse herself with. That is a
feline custom, as you are aware, but
where this cat showed superior mental
ity was in hitting upon place to hide
the mouse, thus protracting the amuse-
ment. She kept it in an old shoe in a
storeroom. The man of the house dis
covered the proceeding. and was almost
as much amused as the cat. Did he put
a stop to it? No, indeed. For several
days he fed both the cat and the mouse,
after which the cat would take the
mouse out for its daily exercise, to the
delight of both conspiratOrs Then the
plan's wife found them out. She took
che mouse away and let it go. New
York Commercial Advertiser.

The Northwest Indian and His Ways.

The Indian of the plains is far moro
picturesque individual than his brother
or cousin of the coast. He does not erect
totem poles and has no timber for the
purpose if so inclined, but he is suffi-
GENTLY spectacular himself without re-
sorting to grotesque carvings and paint
ed wood. His saddle, with it's leather
hangings and wooden stirrups, is in
itself a remarkable aggregation, and
when set off with his goods and chat
tells tied in bags, rags, strings and
straps, the effect is remarkable He
wears the cast off garments Of his white
brother in such original combinations
that he looks like the personifcation of
a secondhand store. Sometimes the
adoption of pair of guernseys as an
external covering gives him quite an
athletic appearance. He wears his hair
in Gertrude braids, and prefers ear
rings about the size of half dollar coins.
A mosquito net or handkerchief is his
favorite head covering, and if he as
sumes hat it is as an additional and
purely ornamental appendage Detroit

Harcourt,s Eeaconstie1d Aneodote.

Sir William Harcourt has one quite
unique memory of the support he gave
in old days to the public worship regu-
lation act. That was an invitation
which he received to visit Lord Bea-
oonsfeld at Hughenden Manor
Taking his guest-the member of a
family representing the ownership Of
broad acres-round his minute demesne,
Lord Beaconsfeld said, Excuse the
vanity of a landed proprietor!" The
young politician accompanied his host
on Sunday to the village church, and
on the way thither was warned that
some hints of the high church move
ment had penetrated even that sylvan
solitude. ''My friend, the vicar, - said
the lord of the manor, twill take what
call collection and he calls an offer
tory, and afterward what I call plate
and he calls an aims dish will be placed
on what I call table and he calls an
altar. London News.

narlea In the wen where he Died.

Speaking of strange and sad occur
rences, none could be more remarkable
than the death and burial Of Charles
Garter, we'll known farmer residing
near Russell He was cleaning out an
old we'll when the quicksand suddenly
caved i'll on him, leaving only his head
and chest exposed. When the alarm
was given, hundreds of people assem-.
bled and went heroioally to work to
save their neighbor. It was found that
nothing could be done toward removing
the sand about Carter's body, SO par
allel we'll was dug and tunnel run
from, it into the old we'll, but even then
the tDdy could not be removed SO close
ly WAS it grasp8d by the sands. 1t was
found that rope attached below Gar
ter's arms would pull the body into
parts without withdrawing it's covered
portion, and that method had to be
abandoned. Garter was conscious and
talked with his rescuers, but at the end
of 58 hours he died. By this time an
enormous crowd had gathered, and all
sorts of plans were suggested for recov-
ering the body, but finally it was de-
termined to make the veil the dead
mans tomb, and it was Elled up after
religious services had been held upon
it's brink. The we'll was 48 feet deep,
and perhaps no other Kansan ever found
quite so strange a burial place. Kan

The cockatoos consti tute a branch Of
the great parrot family, and, with the
exception Of the species which inhabits
the Philippine islands. are peculiar to
the Australasian region.
Leadbeater's cockatoo is one of the
most beautiful of the group, bis white
plumage being tiIged with rose color
W. I. Greene, the great authority Oh
cage parrots, describes itaptly as Grasp
berry and cream coIor-but as his
mental endowmeuts are by no means
equal to his personal attractions he is
less popular as a pet than species with
more intelligence than good looks. One
point III his favor must be mentioned
he is less determined screamer than
the majority Of cockatoos. This, how
ever, is not saying much. In his native
woods Of South Australia LeaGOeater' S
cockatoo is very shy and difficult to ap-
proach. The birds sent to Europe, no
doubt taken as nestlngs in the majori-
ty Of instances, remain usually wild
and suspicious, though they bear con-
fnement well and do not suffer from
the cold.
At home in Australia the cockatoo is
not beloved Of the farmer, and it can
be we'll imagined that flock Of these
big birds, amounting often to thousands,
commit fearful havoc upon the crops.
Hence it is shot down SIS remorselessly
as the sparrow in England when it
grows too numerous to be acceptable to
the agriculturist. Like the rest of the
genus, this cockatoo usually makes its
nest in hollow tree, where the hen
lays two pure white eggs.-St. Louis

Retrothal Rings.

Modern Greek peasants exchange a
goli and silver wedding ring, and they
drink wine from the same cup. But the
regular ritual of the Greek church or
dams that solemn betrothal precedes the
actual marriage, in which are used gold
and silver wedding rings blessed by
the priest, the gold ring being given to
the man, the silver ring to the woman.
The form Of the espousal is then repeat
ed, and the rings are placed ON the right
hands and then exchanged that no in
feriority may be betokened by the wom-
an wearing the silver ring and also to
indicate COMMON ownership of prop
erty. .. 49,.
An Armenian mother usually chooses
her daughters husband. After all bust
ness preliminaries are settled between
the families the bridegroom's mother,
accompanied by q priest and two ma
irons, visits the bride and gives her a
ring in token OF espousal, Qnd with this
ring the couple are ultimately married.
Among the fishing communities very
ancient and elaborate rings are used,
and they descend as heirIooms from
generation to generation.
In japanese marriages arranged be-
tween very young people the girl re-
.ceives ring in evidence that the union
is binding. In Malabar an old native
custom seats both bride and bridegroom
On dais, and relative washes the
feet of the bridegroom with milk and
puts silver ring on the great toe Of the
right foot. He then hands gold ring
to his kinsInan, and necklace and
chaplet of flowers are put on the BRIDES
neck and head.-London Mail
