A schenna TAat Fall.z4.

A Danish scheme of state and eom- munal gratuities, or pension, to desti- tute males who have passed their six tieth year, and who have led reputable lives, has not resulted in the good aD- ticipated by it's advocates and promo ters. On the contrary, it's workings have been demoralizing. The poor, so called, refuse to make, or even strive to make, provision for old age while it is in their power to do so, on the ground that support from pensions will some without effort Children in fourishing circumstances refuse to as sist their needy parents, money in saw lngs banks has been withdrawn and squandered and benefit associations to which employers have contributed have lapsed into bankruptcy. The scheme. in fact, has become a positive premium upon destitution, an incen- tive to improvidence and a foe to man. y reetitude and self-respect.

koREA's CLOSED DOORS
Afford No Field for American Enter
 nrfse.

prise,
 In pursuance of the policy now Dur- rued by the consular service of ascer- taining the state of foreign fields as opportunities for American labor, cap ital and enterprise, Horace w. Allen, consul general to Seoul Korea, writes for the consular reports under date of January 28 that Korea now employs no foreign military officers as advisers or instructors in it's army, and is not likely to do so, ewing to an agreement made with Russia when a large staff of Russian officers were allowed to leave. By this agreement Korea an nounced her ability and intention to dispense with further assistance of that kind. The many requests from young men who have recently left the service i of the United States asking for posi- ] tions in connection with the Korean army are futile. There is no demand 1 for their services in Korea There fs no demand for foreign advisers to tho Korean government. Although two Americans who held such positions have recently died, their places have been filled, and there is no further de, mand for assistance of that kind. The newspaper report that one of these advisers had been receiving 6 salary of $100,000 gold per annum is entirely misleading; such positions pay from $50 to $250 per month There is no demand for employees on the railroads in Korea. Japanese control and op- crate the steam railroad. and Koreans and Americans are employed on the electric railroads. believe the posi- S3ons are all filed Employment with the mines would have to be secured be- fore coming to Korea. The agent of the mines in America is H. A. Noble, representative of the Oriental Consol- I dated Mining company, San Francisco. Prospectors cannot operate in Korea, and there is no employment with tho mines other than on wages. am told the mining company has no lack of ap- plicants.

Lake of suiphuric Acid

It may be difficult to believe in the existence of lake of sulphuric acid, but, according to Tit-Bits, there is such a lake in the center of Sulphur island, off New Zealand. It is fifty acres in extent, about twelve feet in depth and fifteen feet above the level of the sea. The most remarkable characteristic of this lake, however, is that the water contains vast quantities of hydro ehlori, and sulphuric acids, hissing and bubbling at a temperature of 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The dark green eolored water looks particularly un- inviting. Dense clouds of sulphurie fumes constantly roll off this boiling caldron, and care has to be exercised iE approaching this lake to avoid the risk of spffocation. On the opposite side of the lake may be seen the tremendous blowholes, which. when in full blast. present an awe-inspiring sight. The roar of the steam as it rushes forth into the air is deafening, and often huge bowlers and stones are hurled out to a height of several hundred feet by the various internal forces of na- tufe

GREAT cry FOR PADLocxs.
Phenomenal Way in Which They Flour
 ish at Irkutsk.

lSn dL 1TEulsks
 Irkutsk, the accepted capital of ori- ental Siberia, is city of padlocks. It has only about 51 ,00O inhabitants, yet there are more padloeks on the shut ters and doors of Irkutsk stores than be found in an American city of
 There are as many as three i, ,..aeks on some store doors, and eye lower story shltter bears from one to five. The paddock weighs from one to fifteen pounds. The popular size is five pounds and two and one half inches thick, says the Chicago Record. The closing of a store is all affair of consequence The heavy shut ters are swung together, the ponderous iron bars are put in place, the padlocka are adjusted and locked, and then comes the final and serious ceremony of locking the door, The door is shut. the bars are placed and the paddock is fixed and locked, and the yerdant stranger thinks the closing operation is ever. It is not. A piece of cord is drawn through the hasp of the paddock, and the two ends are held against the door by clerk or boy, while the pro- prietor melts q piece of sealing wax and sticks the ends to the door On the hot wax he places his private stamp A promenade on an Trkutsk business street after closing time shows the huge padlocks, the two lines of string and fat dab of red wax as big as 8 silver dollar. In case sealing wax is dispensed with, the paddock is tied in a rag, the string being knotted in a peculiar way The business man oi 1rkutsk has no faith in stringless paddock. I learned that through the wax and rag medium the owner of a store knew if his lock had been tam pered with during the night. ---...=...

STREET CARS IN ENGLAND.

London Decision That Would Cause As
 tonishInent in This Country.
 A London magistrate has just made from the bench statement which, if it is ever duplicated by competent court in this city, would or might have consequences terrible even to imagine. It seems that on one of the urban rail- ways there had been crowded train. 4 woman had tried to force her way into a compartment already fully oe- cupied and her efforts had excited 9 mild protest from one Of the pas sengers already seated. The protest ing remarks were taken amiss by the woman's husband. q fight followed and then an arrest of the pugnacious hus- band. It is not matter of any con- sequence whether he or the other man was at fault for the scrimmage; what is al least interesting is the fact that the magistrate before whom the case came formally announced that nobody has right to enter railway carriage which is already full. Those who take tickets at the starting point, he said. are entitled to seats and tickets taken at intermediate sta tions are subject to there being room for the holders. If the company issues tickets in excess of the number of seats provided the holders may bring an ae. tion for damages, wait for the next train or demand the return of their money. Persons in a carriage which is full have legal. as well as moral right to prevent others from en- deayoring to enter it and the sooner the public understands this the bet ter, as no one has a right to ineon> venience passengers already in their places. Such is the English law, accord. ing to this interpreter of it. Patrons of our own elevated and surface cars are not likely even to ask if there is any such law in this country. They are so well habituated to travelling in cruel discomfort that the impulse to make ef. Iectiye protest against it has been lest
