THE CONQUEST OF KOREA
japanese Legend of Emperor Chua
and HIS Valiant Wife.

Japanese Legend OF emperor Chu0i
and His Valiant Wife.
Seventeen centuries ago the Japanese
Emperor Chuai was playing his lutte
In the presence Of his wife and prime
minister. Whether on account Of the
music or from some other cause, the
empress became inspired with divine
affiatus and began to utter the thoughts
put into her mind by the deity. 'There
Is a land to the westward" she ex-
claimed, land In that land Is abun-
dance of treasure, gold and silver, daz-
cling to look upon. This land will
now bestow upon you"
The emperor pushed away his lutte.
IF you so up to high place and look
toward the west" said he. 'there is no
land to be seen, but only the great wa
tiers. They are lying spirits who have
spoken to you"
Then the good god was filed with
anger, and again he moved the empress
to prophesy. "YOu are not fit," she
said. ito rule this empire. Go the one
road!'
But the prime minister trembled
when he heard these words and said to
his master: II am troubled. my heaven
ly sovereign, by this terrible message.
Continue, l pray. to play the august
Lutte"
The Emperor Chuai commenced to
play softly. Gradually the sound died
away; all was still. They held light
to his face and saw that he was dead.
But the empress put herself at the
head Of her feet. invaded the land Of
gold and silver with her warriors and
soon made the three kingdoms Of Ko-
rea tributary to Japan.
These things happened. we are told.
in the year 201 A. D.. and the story Of
the valiant empress IL as familiar to q
japanese as Is that Of Boadicea to our
selves.-Nineteenth Century.

In South America the retail price for
the better grades Of chocolate averages
about 81 a pound, while in Italy,
France. England and in the United
States the better grades sell at much
lower price. In America the ordinary
chocolate, Of trade sells for about one
third Of the price that is charged for it
where it Is produced. The cause Of
this, the producers say, is that the
original product is adulterated greatly
before reaching its final market, a
cheaper article than the cocoa bean
constituting the large proportion of 90
per cent Of the chocolates of commerce.
The cocoa bean from which chocolate
IL manufactured IL produced In its I'm
est form In Venezuela, though various
other parts Of Central and South Amer
lea grow and export large quantities.
Two crops Of the bean are gathered
each year. and the manufacture con-
sists simply in grinding up the beans
into meal and then adding sugar and
arrowroot, with the necessary flavor.

Just now several OF our exchanges
are engaged in pounding the church
member who does not pay his debts,
but they are not saying anything
against the hon-church member who
will not pay his debts. They call at
tention to the church members incon.
sistency and his sauctimonious hypoc-
risy when he Processes religion and
willingly overlooks his promises to
pay. Even Williams, the evangelist,
takes whirl at him and rips him mp
the back in his sensationally artistic
way, and then throws him over as
worthless. Now as q matter OF fact
we do not think there are many of
these church fellows who don't pay
what they owe. There are few of
course, but the great majority of men
who do not pay, who buy on credit not
intending to pay at the time they buy,
men who make business of beating
their creditors because it is an easy
way to make living, such men are
very rarely church members. Men
who do not pay their honest debts only
when they have to are not often attrac-
ted into churches. We do not see the
need of pounding the churches when it
is the professional dead beat we are
aiming at. The real dead beat can't
be painted any too black.

The laboring classes are enjoying
prosperity, SO we are told, yet why SC
many strikes? The farm laborer il
receiving good wages, whether the
farmer is making profit or not. But
how about the factory laborer? Pros
perity and strikes onght not to go to-
gether. -Advocate.
We think it is generally admitted
that strikes are an evidence of good
times rather than bad times. Work
ingmen do not inaugurate big strike
when they are living from hand to
mouth, but rather when times are so
good they have had a chance to save
up some wages in reserve. If the Ad-
vocate will investigate the subject, it
will find the great strikes have not
come in the times of financial depres-
sion. Can it be the Advocate is hunt
ing for some little evidence to show
that these republican times are bad :?
A poor and fruitless occupation!

Cave Dw.ll.-s In Diepp.,

People who only know the gayer side
Of Dieppe would be surprised to hear
Of the existence Of the cave jewellers
there. One is apt to connect such peo-
pie with the knawed bones and flint
implements Of prehistoric times. But
here they are at Dieppe within stones
throw Of the casino. and they may be
seen any day about the town selling
the shellfish from the rocks outside
their habitatiOns. They have certain
marked characteristics. one being Pc
culiar complexion Of their own that
can be traced largely to a disinclina-
ton on the part Of the cave dweller to
avail himself Of the water that washes
SO close to his door. Their language
also Is peculiar. but whether 1t really
belongs to the stone age no one seems
to have discovered. They have to hold
a license from the municipality. though.
which savors Of no age but the present.

weight Of the body composing the

the recent Ohio democratic convention
very gingerly. 1t evidently does not
know what to think about turning Bry-

said last week, "This may have been
an unwise move, but it was from their
hearts," That is good.

incorporation of Company to Build Line
 from Benson to Yuma.
From the Phoenix Gazette.l

From the Phoenix Gazette.l
 The Fl Paso, Phoenix G Califoruia Southern Railway Company has filed articles with the secretary of the ter ritory. The capital stock is placed at $l0,000, 900, and the incorporators are John J. Hodnett of Tempe, NJ. II. Mc- Cord of Phoenix, NJ. E. Curry of Tempe and J. A. Kurtz of Phoenix.
 The eastern terminus of the line is to be Benson, and on the western eud Yuma. The road will be about 500 miles in length, and pass through the San Pedro, Salt aud Gila valleys the greatest agricultural part of the terri tory.
 This city will be made the headquar- ters of the road, and operations directed from here.
 Intention 10 build railroad was filed by Nj. If. McCord and ]. J. Hodnett, with the secretary of the territory early in August. This gives the com pany the advantage of the tax exemp- tion act passed at the last session of the legislature, Messrs. McCord and Hodnett having assigned their rig hts to the corporation.
 The company was in reality organ ized several weeks ago but delayed filing their articles for financial req sons. In the meantime wealthy syn dicate of New York capitalists has con- scented to back the project.
 Rights of way have been inspected and partially ycontracted for. Arrange ments are being made to put survey iug corps in the field before long They will go over the ground and de- eide upon minor details of the route.
 The new road will have a material effect upon the mining districts near which it will pass. h Pinal county besides the Mammoth aud Ray mines there are several promising properties. h Yuma the Harqus Hala and King oi Arizona mines will be brought under better transportation facilitles.
 The amount of agricultural land that will be made useful by the construction of the proposed road runs into ths thousands of acres. Cattle raisers will be benefited to great extent.
 The company will meet next weel for the purpose of electing officers and mapping out preliminary work.
 When this line is built Arizona vii be much closer than ever to another trsnscontinental line. The Californi. Eastern now hasa surveying party ai work between Yuma and San Diego This will connect the local line witt the Pacific coast on the west. At th, easteren end, the construction of tn, proposed road to Ell Paso will connect with lines to tue Atlantic coast.

oil for Smelling.

From the Los Angeles Mining Reyiew.l
 twill not be long before solution of the problem of how to use oil for the smelling of ores will be found. There was published in :his paper last week an article from the Petroleum Review of London, describing a new furnace, with cuts, in which oil was being sat- isfactorily used for the smelting of iron ores and that tests on refract tory coppers had also proven satisfactory.
 Since then it is stated on the authori- ty of Mir. Daniel Guggenheim of New York, chairman of the executive board of the American Smelling and Refining company, that experiments on an ex- tensive scale have been made with oil from Beaumont, Tex, in the company's refining plant at Perth Anboy, N. J.. with very successful result. He is fur. ther quoted as saying that it is the iu- tention of the company to substitute oil for smelting purposes in it's smelting plants in Mexico, provided the Mexican government will remove the present duty on oil going into Mexico. These things are. we repeat, sufficient to show that the problem of satisfactorily using oil for smelling purposes israpid- ly approaching solution.
