as the government lands are free to
all for grazing purposes: and mining
prospecting. They occupy immense
tracts Of lands. and at the same time
send out experts to prospect for gold.
These desert lands generally are good
placer mining sections, and when gold
is found the syndicates locate the land
as grazing lands, thus acquiring 100
times the territory they could under
the law regulating mining locations.
Their mining experts are constantly
prospecting for gold on these lands,
hence the miners have also a just
cause for complaint. This abuse is
about as great as the other, and in
both cases-the grabbing of agricul.

Heredity of Dreams.


Perhaps the widest application of
the law of heredity is made by an
Italian scientist, DR.. Gianelli, says the
Chicago Tribune. He claims that
many of mems dreams are inherited
from ancestors. Every person has a
dream which he dreams over and over
again-a favorite dream, as it were.
This dream and some others that are
frequent, according to the doctor, are
inherited. He observed, for instance,
that child of six years after an at
tack of typhoid fever saw in it's slum-
Der q figure clad in black, which ad-
vanced to the foot of the bed and
fixed upon him it's shining eyes. Upon
relating the dream it was found that
the father Of the child frequently had
dreamed that dream, although he had
never mentioned it to his child. Fur
Their. investigation revealed that the
grandfather dreamed the same dream,
although, as is usually. the case with
such apparently unimportant. mat
tiers, he had not told anyone about it.
DR.. Gianelli then made an investiga-
ton, and found many similar cases in
which sons had received dreams az
legacies from their parents. This has
led, him. to declare that the heredity
of dreams is proved. -,

WOMEN I'M coREA.
Instead of Thread In Clothes
Bachelors Held in Contempt.

/ "A Corean bride has her eyelids
pasted together until she has been
three days wife," said Mrs. S. L. Bald
win, who, according to the New York
SUN, has lived for more than 20 years
in China and Corea, and who is consid-
cred among missionaries to know more
about the Hermit nation, as the Cor
cans are called, than any other for
eigner: notwithstanding this rather
unpromising beginning, the life of the
Corean woman, while secluded, is not
as unbearable as that of the women of
many other oriental nations. They
are poor, and consequently compelled
to work very hard, but, as rule, are
well treated BY their husbands. They
have pretty names, meaning plum
blossom, treasure, etc., but after mar
riage are known only" as So-and7:so's
wife, until they have son, after which
they are known as the mother of that
son. ....:. ~ ~:
"As a little lass the 'Corean girl is
taught all about the domestic work,
and begins early to assist her mother
in making the family clothes. If too
young to paste, she can at least hold
over the stove the long iron rod to be
used in pressing seams. The heating
of this rod is the first thing taught
little girl. Later she learns how to
paste clothes together, then to wash
and iron them. Now, this use Of paste

cans. It is done on account of their
mode of ironing. To accomplish this
difficult feat they rip their garments
tc pieces bel fore putting them in water.
After the washing garments are laid
on a smooth block of wood or stone
and are beaten smooth with ironing
sticks. These sticks resemble po-
liceman's club and each ironer uses
two.
'Girls and boys wear their hair hang
ing in two plaits until engaged to be
married, after which the boy fastens
his on top of his head, and the girl
twists hers at the. nape of her neck.
Coreans hold marriage in high regard,
and show a married man profound re-
spect, while, a. bachelor is treated by
them with marked contempt. I have
seen mengreet a slip of a boy wearing
a top-knot with ceremonious defer
ence, saying to each other: He is a
man; he is about to be married. while
of much older man, and possibly a
richer, who wears his two plaits, they
remark that he is a pig. He cannot
get wife. He will always be boy
I'm the choice of his first bride, the
Corean leaves everything to the 60
between. But of all other wives, and
Corean may have ten, the man makes
his own selection. It is seldom, how
ever, that a second wife is added to the
household. except where the first wife
proves childless. In such instances
other wives are taken, but the dignity
always remains with the first wife,
Women are we'll treated, and, as a
rule, live happy, contented lives. They
are gentle, attractive little bodies and
