THE TROLLEY IN KOREA.

Women, as we'll as men, can ride
on the cars"-such is the translation
of paragraph number two in the rules
or n tice to the public, prepared by the
Korean president of the Seoul Electric
Railway company. The introduction
of this trolley line is referred to by our
correspondent as "the first step to-
wards civilization in the Hermit King
DOM" and certainly it seemed that
a wide departure from the customs of
the country would be made when
Korean women avail themselves of
President vi Cha-Yun's offer Form
erly women We're not allowed on the
streets in the daytime, but curfew-
bell was rung at eight o'clock in the
evening, after which hour the men
were required to remain indoors,
while the women took their exercise.
The work of building an electric rail
way from the governors residence,
outside the west gate, through the
heart of Seoul to the new tomb of En-
press Min, Beyond the east gate, was
begun last year, and completed in May
of the present year. Japanese were
employed as motormen, and native
Koreans as conductors. For several
days in May the cars ran over a portion
of the route; the service was literally
patronized, and the enterprise appeared
to be we'll established. On the26th, how
ever, when the president of the COM
pany and few guests were en- route
to the imperial tomb, the first accident
occurred-the child of a native was
caught under the wheels and killed.
But it so happened that the popula-
ton of Seoul had for weeks been in
dulging in somewhat unscientific spec
ulations as to the cause of a drought
which afflicted the land, and now they
either thought or pretended that the
cause had been discovered. To quote
from the Korean Repository: ''The
electric wires, some say, cut off the in
f1uence of Heaven; others affirm that
as the power-house is built on a sa-
cred spot, there can be no rain until
the obstruction is removed" The peo-
pie lost their self-control, stoned the
company's employees, battered the car
to pieces, and threatened to destroy
the power-house. At this jun'cture the
authorities gained control and order
was restored, but the curious partner
ship of the trolley and women's rights
in the Far East had received a tenn
porary check-Harper's Weekly.

LARGE CHARITY.

It is computed that more than $25,-
100000 has been given or bequeathed
during the last year to educational in
situations and libraries in the United
States. An observing contemporary
notes that one benefit from the trans
fer of this great sum to uses of public
education is that by helping to make
independent of State and local aid the
institutions which it goes to, it helps to
make their teaching less subject to the
influence of transient public sentiment.
Where the support of a university de-
ponds on the will of a legislature, the
instruction that it gives in such sub
jects as political economy, social econ
omy, and history is liable to be affected
by political considerations; but an in
stitution that stands on it's own pecun-
larry legs has nothing to consider in its
choice of doctrine further than to
teach what makes most for sound
learning and comedies most accurately
with apparent truth.-E. S. Martin in
Harper's Weekly.

ONE OF OUR PERILS.

''Mischievous is the irreverent and
scornful use of the tongue that often
vulgarizes the very temple of sweet
ness and purity" writes Rev. Newell
DWiht Hills, D. D., in the Ladies'
Home Journal. ''No person of refine
ment and culture can doubt that ir-
reverence is one of the perils of our
day. In former times men entered
the cathedral, rich with colored glass,
with marble and pictures and rare
tapestries, to whiteWash the fres-
Goes, smash statues, and use the paint
ings and tapestries for doormats. But
it has been reserved for our genera
ton to enter the temple of reverence
to destroy all ideals, to rob the noble
names Of their grandeur and the
noblest places of their majesty. To-
day yulgarity permits sanctity to at
tach to few objects or ideas. In 1896,
when Athens revived the Olympian
games and America sent its representa-
tives, there journeyed to that ancient
land a vender of patent medicines,
who was discovered sticking an adver-
tisement of his porous plaster upon
the walls of the Parthenon!'

when oyertaxed return to their studies
day after day in fatigued condition,
their energies not being fully restored
until the long vacation brings rest.
Going to another phase of the SUBJ
ject Prof. O'Shea observes that any
reference to the remediable causes of
mental fatigue would be incomplete
without allusion to the harmful inf1u-
ence of certain personal characters
tics in the people with whom we asso-
ciate. By virtue of a great law of our
being, that of suggestion, the import
ance of whichawe are approaching more
fully from day to day, we tend ever to
reproduce within ourselves the activ-
tiles of the things in our environment.
Now, when we are forced to remain in
the presence of one fatigued, as pupils
too frequently are in the school and
children in the home, and this fatigue
manifests itself in irritability, impa-
thence, tension of voice, and constraint
Of face and body-in such an environ
ment we become overstimulated our
selves and rapidly waste our energies.
Especially true is this of children,
who are more suggestible than adults;
and, in view of this, one can appreci-
ate the necessity of placing in our
schoolrooms, and if we could in our
homes, persons possessing an endow-
ment of nervous energy adequate for
the demands to be made upon it with
out inducing too readily fatigue with
all it's train of evils.

RAINY-DAY ADJUSTMENTS.

In preparing for the summer holt
day do not forget the rainy days that
will surely come, but provide occupa-
ton for the active minds that cannot
exhale their restlessness in outdoor
exercises" writes Elisabeth Robinson
Scovil in the Ladies' Home Journal.
''Take a few games, like the game of
Artists, played on the same principle
as the favorite Authors The little
cuts reproduce famous pictures, such
as the fSistine Madonna Sir Joshua
Reynolds Angel Heads, which are, in
reality, portraits of one child, Isabella
Kerr Gordan, in different positions
They familiarize the children with
the World-famous pictures, as well as
with some good examples of modern
art, like the Knaus Madonna. Puzzle
books to cut out, painting books,
beads to string, kindergarten practice
cloth for sewing, paper dolls and
soldiers, designs for paper cutting,
with pair of blunt scissors and
paste pot and brush, will furnish con-
genial employment for the younger
ones. If the person in charge of the
children will see that they do not get
wet, let them have clay pipes and
soapy water, and blow bubbles"

THE DAFFODILS.

| wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high DER wales and
hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretch in never-ending line
Along the margin of the bay;
Ten thousand saw / at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance
The waves beside them danced, but
they
Output the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company.
gazed and gazed, but little thought
What wealth the show to me had
brought.
For oft when on my couch I lie,
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye,
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils.
Wordsworth.

HIGH PRICES FOR TIN.
Raw Material and Manufactured Pro-
duct Take a Rise.

A decidedly upward tendency has
developed in the price of tin. For sew
eral months past sheet metal, which
forms the principal part of the man
ufactured product, has been gradually
advancing in price, until today it costs
a hundred per cent. more than it did
last fall. Sheet metal has become so
scarce in this country that the New
York buyer for prominent tinware
manufacturing firm only few days
ago telegraphed his firm that he had
been unable to find any quantity of
the article in this country at an accept
able price and had been obliged to send
abroad to fill the order, which was for
several hundred tons.
AS an instance of the sharp advance
in the different articles used in the
manufacture of tin, it may. be stated
that tinplate bars, which last year cost
SIS a ton, now bring $33 for the
same quantity; pigtin, costing last
year IA cents pound, this year costs
311a cents a pound and tinplate, which
last year brought $3.50 box, this year
vance in the price in the component
parts of tin increases the cost of all
kinds of tinware. Packers of canned
goods, just now in the midst of their
summer business, feel the effects of
the increase, which means that they
will have to charge more for the pro-
duets which they pack.
The sharp advance in the price of tin
is said to have been caused by a large
ly increased demand for the article of
late. Another cause which helps to in
crease the price is the fact that those
engaged in it's manufacture, are, ,ac-
cording to large manufacturer and
one thoroughly conversant with the
business, the best paid working men
in the United States. They are paid
very large wages. A roller man en-
ployed by this manufacturer made in
one week as high as SIS, while his
average wages were about $50 week.
The wages paid the tinworkers in this
country, said the manufacturer, are
two and a half times greater than
those paid the same class of labor in
Wales, which is a great tin-producing
country. Manufacturers of tin feel
that they are only sharing in the gen
eral prosperity of the country, it being
remarked that there are at present few
large industries in this country which
are not making money.

A mattress grave, poor stricken Jew,
For years his broken body knew,
His pale brow wet with deadly dew
A mattress grave.
Below his prison place of pain,
all gay Partisan train,
And helpless in his attic room,
Or anguish, agony and gloom.
This wounded soul of song and wit,
Pressed YEARLY through days of doom
o, pity, grief and woe of it,
A mattress grave.

UNCLE SAM TELLS COLUMBIA'S
FORTUNE"

Give us your hand, Columbia,
I want to read the lines,
Although no great believer
In cabalistic signs;
But I am safe in saying
The world has not it's peer,
And I'm a trifie curious
To see what's written here.
It's always safe predicting
Events when they are past,
And wise foretelling voyages
After the anchors cast;
But there's a gem Respondent
With hope and promise free,
More precious far than rubles
Revealed in prophecy.
Upin your brow Of beauty
Illumined fresh and fair;
~'No merchandise of silver
With wisdom can compare;
No idle divination!
Bring me the Book Of Old!
The treasures of whose pages
Outlast the wealth of gold.
Both hands in mine, Columbia!
The record here is plain;
No need of seer or prophet
Who tells his tale for gain.
Behold in living letters
Aglow with heavenly rays
Your cleft hand crowned with honor
Your right with length of days.
A century great with glory
Speaks joy to all the world.
Let tyrants cover and tremble
To see yon flag unfurled
It'll those who sit in darkness
Beyond the farthest sea
Shall hail Columbia's banner,
The emblem of the free.

MONEY ALLEGED TO BE DUE.
Architect Demands $3.50 of United
States Electric Lighting Company.

Erskne NJ. Sunderland, local architect
and engineer, today. through Attorneys
Taiimadge A. and Wilton ]. Lambert, filed
suit at law against the United States Elec-
trio Lighting Company of this city, claim
ing the sum of $3.50 as due him on ac-
count of professional services as architect,
said to have been rendered in connection
with the companys new power station,
located at the corner of 14th and streets.
Mr. Sunderland sets forth in his declara-
ton that In May, 1897, he entered into a
contract with the defendant company to
furnish the plans, details and specifications
for a proposed east half or completion of
the power station, for which the defendant
was to compensate or pay him sum equal
to three and one-half per centum on the
minimum estimated cost of building the
same. 1t Is alleged that the plans and
drawings were duly approved and accepted
by the company, and the cost for construct
ing ascertained to amount to $4,000, upon
which, it is averred, the percentage was
claimed, but payment was refused, where
fore the amount above mentioned Is claim
ed, with interest.
1t is said that since the date of the al
legged contract with Mr.. Sunderland the
new railroad syndicate now operating here
obtained control of the United States Elec-
tric Lighting Company and abandoned the
idea of completing the power station start
ed by their predecessors.

DEATH OF GEORGE KROUSE.
Heart Trouble Ascribed ~ Cause
Happenings in Georgetown.

George Krouse, aged about thirty-seven
years, died last evening at midnight at
the Georgetown University. where he had
been sent, and after being successfully
treated for an overdose of laudanum
brother of the man appeared at the po-
lice station shortly before 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon and asked that the wagon
be sent to his house to take to the hos
pital his brother, who had been drinking
and who while somewhat under the infiu-
ence of liquor had taken large dose of the
poison.
The patrol wagon started for the home
but owing to the slippery condition of the
streets, and the fact that the horse was
smooth shod, the journey could not be
made DR. George Wood was met, and he
went to the house, He gave treatment and
succeeded in reviving the patient and later
pronounced him out of danger. The sick
man was afterward carried to the hospital
where he died about midnight. The cause
of death Is said to be due to heart trouble
caused more by the hard drinking, 1t is al
legged rather than to the overdose of lau-
danufn. krouse was unmarried.
Local Matters.
The Dumbarton Avenue Sunday school
gave a novel Christmas entertainment
Tuesday night before a large and appre-

Mr. Roy Birch suitable to the occasion
The characters included Mr. ]. Albert
Houghton as Santa Claus, Mrs. Houghton
as Columbia, Miss Gertrude Stewart as
Britannia, Mr.. William Fisher as Father
Neptune. and Mr.. Roy Birch as Uncle Sam.
The Uncle Sam drill by six young ladies
and six High School cadets was well exc
cuted, during which the following tableaus
Were introduced: No. j. Columbia with Mr.
Guy Wilson as soldier and Mr.. Frank
Havenner as sailor; No. ., Columbia and
two little tots; Virginia Houghton as q
Cuban and Frances Sommerville as Fill
Pine; Columbia, soldier and sailor, with
Uncle Sam waving American colors over
their heads
One pretty feature of the cantata was a
song, The Birth of the Christ Child" sung

n;ght-robed children falling asleep one by
one. Another feature was the Angel
chorus by six young ladies.
After the entertainment the Sunday
school was treated to candy and gifts.
