NATIVE coREAN COSTUMES.
they Wear Tricky Padded Stockings
All Summer.

'hey Wear Thickly Padded Stockings
All Summer.
Corea Is the land of white garments
md black hats. All the men in this
country, except coolies, wear either
white or blue long flowing gowns. Cot
on and silk goods are worn In winter
Ind linen and hemp In summer. Dur
ng the last several years a great deal
If silk has been imported, both from
China and Japan, the native article be-
ng of little value.
The ordinary street gown generally
aas three broad flaps, one of which
hangs down the back and the other
TWO In front overlap each other, then
ire tied with a pair Of long ribbons
II the same material. The flaps reach
within few inches Of the ground. The
gown has very wide and long sleeves,
IN each of which one might carry
baby without its being noticed, and
they are long enough to conceal the
hand completely, while an extension of
the sleeve reaches almost as low as the
laps above mentioned. Another gown
0f the same pattern, except with short
sr and narrower sleeves, is always
worn under the first. But persons in
the Government service, including all
members of the nobility, wear a gown
having from one to three large flaps,
which are broad toward the ends. This
gown, with the exception of its sleeves,
Is more like the dress of an American
girl OF II or IA. 1t is always made of
doe goods, well starched, and on windy
days It's flaps and sleeves create quite
futtering and rustling noise in the
streets. The winter coats and trou.
sers-the latter always white-are very
large and heavily padded with cotton.
A most singular thing is that the hose
worn by Coreans are always thickly
padded in summer as well as in winter;
consequently, every one seems to have
thick and large feet, although quite the
contrary is true.
The ordinary street hats have broad
orims and high crowns. They are
made of fine bamboo splits and are Gov
cred with fine linen cloth and then lac.
quered with black. Hats covered with
silk are worn by people of rank. Per
sons In mourning for their parents
wear hats as large as umbrellas and of
similar shape. They are made of coarse
bamboo splits without any covering of
cloth. 1t is customary for every mourn
er to carry little hempen screen at
tached to the ends of two bamboo
sticks held up conveniently in front of
his face. These uncomfortable trap
pings are intended to indicate his re-
gret that he did not make his parent
or parents happier while they were liv,
ng. So it is that for a period of one or
.wo years he is ashamed of seeing the
heavens and of looking upon the beau.
.iful objects of nature. There are a
great many other varieties of headwear
~ which one can tell conditions and to
great extent positions in society,"

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North dakota, writes about her strup.
gle to regain health after the birth OF
her little girl:
DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-Tt is with
pleasure that add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
otners to avail themselves OF your val.
liable medicine.
After the birth of my little girl.
three years ago, my health was vcry
poor had leucorrh9a badly. and q
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
al the time, and dizzy feelings. Men,
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from good doctor
but it seemed to do no good. / was
becoming alarmed over my condition
when | read your advertisement in =
paper. / sent at once for bottle Of
Lydia. E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds Of
the bottle | felt so much better that I
send for two more. After using three
bottles / felt as strong and well as any
one.
i think it ID the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady / meet suf.
fering from this trouble
Maternity is . wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice Of Mrs. Pinkharn is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice Is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pay
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs, Pinkharu's
address is Lynn, Mass.

A Joke on a Chicago Doctor.

DR.. Charles Gatchell, of Chicago, IS
not telling this story. The reason is
that he is too deeply concerned. But
the story is a true one.
DR.. Gatchell is a bachelor, and for
that reason his embarrassment il
greater than it otherwise would be.
When he and other members of the
medical profession started from Chi.
cago to attend the national homoe-
pathic convention in Omaha, they oc-
cupled a sleeper. DR.. Gatehell was
assigned to lower six, and being tired,
retired at an early hour. When the
train arrived ut Galesburg the car was
set out to wait for train following.
some of the physicians desiring to go
later from Galesburg.
That evening there was weddin:,
In high life at Galesburg, and of
course the usual amount of ribbon dec
Grating and rice throwing. Some OF
the bridal party ascertained that the
contracting parties had engaged sec.
ton six in sleeper, and they deter
mined to decorate 1t up. By mistake
they got into the wrong car. DIR.
Gatchell was peacefully sleeping and
alone in the car. The decorators set
to work, and in short space of time
had the section nicely decorated with
ribbons and flowers. Then they hid to
await the coming of the groom and
bride first sending out q spy to report
their arrival.
Presently the spy sneaked out and
reported that Mr.. and Mrs. Blanke
were sn their car, which was down
the track short distance. But the
decorators knew nothing of this. They
rushed into the car they had first Wis
tied, pulled the curtains of section six
aside, and before the astonished doc
tor could protest he found himself bur-
led beneath All avalanche of rice, old
shoes and flowers.
When DR.. Gatchell recovered from
the awful shock to his bachelor nerves
ne began to talk. He talked earnestly
and we'll, but the merry crowd fed
before he could finish his rather tor
rid speech. -TA Omaha World Her

AGUsNALDo's SPEECH.
Che msurgent Leader Has Heard of the
Munroe Doctrine.

Manila. October There is consider
able comment here upon Aguinaldo's
speech at Malotes on Thursday. The
key note was the Independence of the
Philippine islands. During the cause of
his remarks, Aguinaldo said;
ssOur friends the Americans came for
the purpose of demonstrating the gen.
erosity and grandeur of their government
and to assist in eleasing the people from
slavery without annexing the islands,
mus setting a good example. We now
understand and appreciate the famous
Monroe doctrine of America for Ameri-
cans and justice demands that they ad-
NIT that the Philippines are for the Fill
pinos."
The insurgents express disappointment
at the non.attendance of Americans at
the festival at Malotes. The provincial
governor has declined to allow an Ameri.
can officer to inspect the Dagupan prisons
and secure their plans without Aguinal-
dos sanction. The half caste interpre-
ter used threats and consequently Agui-
naldo instructed his troops at the railway
stations beyond Malotes not to allow any
Americans to pass over.
