sn,nI.inr in Goren.

In Corea all men and women smoke. They begin early. The pipe is brass bowl, with reed stem four feet long and brass, amber or glass mouth piece Accidents often occur from persons falling with long pipe in the mouth, the stem of which is driven down the throat, through the cheek, or into the palate. During the reform period" after the Japan-China war, long pipes were forbidden to the com- mon people, and they turned to cigar cites, which have become rooted in the popular affection. Native cigarettes, which are of poor quality, sell for one cent gold for twenty. Little cigars of cigarette size sell for IA cents gold per 100 American cigarettes are used exclusively in the palace, and thousands of them are smoked there. This makes them popular with the up- per classes, and the consumption of them is very great The best of them cost one cent gold each The import duty on cigars and cigarettes Is 20 per cent. ad valorem, but, in spite of this, the American manufacturers are grad ually coming into control of the mar ket

Aceomplishments of the oameI.


 T first formed my opinion of a camel some years ago, when I rode across the Arabian deserts, and l see no reason to alter it in any way. The creature has so many talents and so many ways of exhibiting them. And, to begin with, it can kick, harder. high CT, swiftef and oftener than mule, and can use all four feet at one time in kicking match. Then it can bite worse than a vicious horse, and buck In way to make q broncho blush with absolute shame. No rider ever lived who can stay on that perch, seven feet from the ground, during cameIs ex- hibition of gymnastics. Then he can run away when he feels like 1t, and is often seized with a desire to slope. Upon an occasion Of this kind his rider experiences a sensation between being blown up with dynamite and strug- gling against the throes of an earth quake, until all his joints are dislo- cated, and he drops, a limp, inert mass, to the ground. Then this sweet crea- ture has way of eyincfng his dis pleasure that is at least effectual and convincing. He twists his snake-llke neck into circle, and, poking his ugly nose into the face of the rider, opens his cavernous mouth and lets out a roar of disgust in such a fetid breath that elevated human victim is fairly blown into the middle of the coming month Ca week being too short a dis tancel.'

DOORS MADE OF VENEER.
Hall Doors, Not Even tho More Costly Are
 Made of solid Wood.

Hall Doors, Not Even tho More Costly Are
 Made of Solid Wood.
 The very finest of doors are made nowadays of veneer on a body of pine. Even when made of mahogany or some other costly wood, doors have to be veneered. The body of the door IS made of a plain, straight-grained ma hogany, while the surfaces are Veneers of hne wood.
 In the finest doors the body Is made of selected white pine, free from sap and perfectly seasoned, which is cut into narrow strips and then glued to- gether. The outer edges of this door are faced with what is called q veneer, but which is really a strip of the fine wood half an inch or more in thick ness. The inner edges of the frame, by the panels, are covered in the same manner with thick strips, in which the ornamental mouldings, or carvings, are made, and which are grooyed to re- ceive the panels.
 This built-up frame of white pine, with edges of the fine wood, is then veneered with the fine wood. In some lighter doors the panels may be of solid mahogany, but in the finer, larger and heavier doors the panels also are made of sheets of white pine with a veneering of the fine wood, so that the entire door is yeneered.
 It would be difficult, if not impos- 441 A, a4 fNuf mn lumber in fine and beautiful woods of sufficient size for the larger doors. The built-up and yeneered door of pine wood, however, has every appearance of a solid door, and, made of selected yeneers, it may be more beautiful than solid door would be. It is more seryiceable and remains longer per- feet. It's cost is about half what a solid door would cost.
