NO STOVES IN KOREA.

instead Flues Are Laid Under the
Floors, Which Are Thus Heated.
Stoves are not used to any extent nv
the native Koreans. The Korean meth
Cd of heating is exoellently adapted to
their resources and conditions. In buiId.
ing their houses they lay down a sys-
tenn of fues where the floor is to be,
These fues begin at a fireplace, which
is usually placed in an outer shed or
connecting closed alleyway.
From this fireplace the hues extend
in more or less curved direction, like
the ribs of round fan, to trench at
the rear of the room, which in turn
opens into chimney, which is usually
placed some distance from the house.
Flat f1agstones are then placed carefully
over these fues, and the whole is &C.
mented over and finally covered with a
thick oil paper, for which the country
is noted. This paper keeps smoke from
entering the room, and little STRAW or
brushwood, used in the fireplace for
cooking the rice, serves to heat the
stone floor and gives an agreeable
warmth, which lasts till the time of the
next meal
Two heatings daily tend to give the
people nice warm floor, upon which
they sit in the daytime and sleep at
night. By leaving their shoes at the
door the inmates preserve the paper
floor, which from constant polishing
takes on a rich brown color. New

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Everyone at Christmas gets what he
doesn't want and, gives what he can't
afford.
The average girls idea of being cou1-
torted is to have man put his arm
around her while she cries on las shCal-
der.
The worst thing to happen to a wO-
man is to have an indulgent husband !;
the next worst is to have no husband at
all.
No girls education is complete until
she has learned that what she is being
educated for is to make wife for some
man.
It's mighty poor sermon that doesn't
hit half the men in the congregation.

Maori Women.

The Maori women of Australasia have
their Understanding ones, General
ly they have little voice OR choice in the
selection of their first husbands, but
they may and frequently do, change
them. A woman may trade her husband
without so much as a comment from
the public, without the slightest smudge
on her good name, and it is nothing to
his discredit either Courtship is always
brief and does not often preface mar
riage. The Maoris, however, love to re-
peat oriental love tales and sing love
songs Maori widows not infrequently
commit suicide on the graves of their
husbands and are honored for doing so,

no revenue, employs no officers. He

Who is to Blame?

Kidney trouble has become so preva-
lent that it is not uncommon for child
to be born afflicted with weak kidneys.
If the child urinates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the
child reaches an age when it should be
able to control the passage, and it is yet
afflicted with beds wetting, depend upon
it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney
trouble, and the first step should be to-
wards the treatment of these important
organs. This unpleasant trouble is due
to a diseased condition of the kidneys
and bladder and not to a habit, as most
people suppose.
If the adult has rheumatism; pain or
dull ache in the back; if the water passes
in irregular quantities; or at Irregular
intervals or has a bad Odor; If it stains
the linen or vessel the colcr OF rust; if
the feet swell; If there are puffy or dark
circles under the eyes; your kidneys are
the cause and need doctoring. Treat.
ment of some diseases may be delayed
without danger; not 81 with kidney dis
ease.
