YELLOW JACK,
Part Of the West African Coast Ravarod
by the Disease.

Dy the Disease.
Malarial fever is the greatest scourge
along the west coast of Africa, but
the country has usually, though not
always, been spared visitations of yell
low fever, which is far more preva-
lent along the tropical western coast
OF the Atlantic than on the eastern
side of that ocean. In the past sum-
mer, however, yellow fever scourged
West Africa from the desert of Sa-
hara southwark through Senegal. In
August last, says the Revue Fran
caise, many of the officers of the
French army of occupation and also
several sisters of charity died of the
disease. The government of the coun-
try was completely disorganized on
account of it. Mr. Chaudie, the gov
ernor general, departed for Europe.
leaving Gen. Combes in charge of his
duties. The army doctors heroically
remained at their posts and have done
splendid service in fighting the scourge.
1t is believed that the plague was in
troduced by a Syrian and his compan-
ions who spread 1t over the country.
The result was complete embargo
upon commerce, as no vessel anchored
there and no European was able to
leave. The local government is very
much blamed in France for not taking
better precautions against the spread
ing Of the scourge.

SLEEVES IN Wells.


Korea.
In Korea, where Chinese customs
predominant, it is hard to account for
the origin of the veil. The women OF
the well-to-do middle and upper classes
are kept most sedulously guarded. The
latter are seldom allowed to go out at
all and then only at night. A curious
tale Is told to account for a certain
feature Of the wells. This consists OF
pair Of dependent and evidently use
less sleeves with cuffs, OF another COL
or, at the bottom. Veil is not
proper word to use for this head COW
ering, for 1t is of thick material-cot-
ton, linen or grass cloth-and it would
be impossible to see anything through
1t. 1t is always white, to match the
other Korean garments. AS a nation
from collie to mandarin-they all
wear It, The woman is obliged to push
the folds Of the veil away from her
eyes so that she may look through the
aperture. The tale concerning them
1s this: Several hundred years ago,
when Korea was fighting the Chinese,
the entire Korean army and all the
men in the capital of Seoul had
marched out in defense of that capital
to meet an attacking force toward the
north. At the same time another force
unknown to the Koreans, approached
Seoul from the south. Since every
able-bodied man had already gone to
the attack, the city and the remain
Ing inhabitants were threatened with
destruction. The Korean women, how
ever, like their sisters in other parts
Of the world, devised a plan by which
they might fustrate the enemy. They
donned their husbands long white
garments with the wide sleeves, and
gathering together, marched boldly to-
ward the foe, who appalled, by the
slght OF such an unexpected force of
Koreans, fed in haste and the city
was saved. When the army returned
and it was made known what the wom-
en- had done, 1t was decreed that there
after they should wear mems sleeves
hanging from their wells as a mark of
honor and badge of their bravery in
the national crisis. Even more un-
comfortable than the wells must be the
massive headdress Of the woman who
acts as bridesmaid at a Korean we'd
ding. The rules OF iron-clad Korean
etiquette demand that she shall be
dressed in this way, so no one thinks
OF questioning the custom. Huge
masses of false hair-"switches," as
We call them-are piled in a fantastic
way on the unfortunate woman's head
TILL wonderful effect Is obtained.

FAKRAGus.s RESOLUTION.

1t was Caused by q Rebuks by the Famous
Admiral's Father.
One Of the great turning points in the
carly life of Admiral Farragut is told
Ia Success.
David was acting as cabin boy to his
father, brave George Farragut, who had
taken part dn the revolutionary and the
Indian wars, and who, on this occasion,
as sailing master OF the feet, was on
his way to New Orleans with the infan.
navy of the United States. The boy
thought he had the qualities that make
a man. 81 could swear like an old salt, -
he says, could drink as stiff glass os
grog as if had doubled Cape Horn, and
could smoke like locomotive. 1 was
great at cards and was fond of gamb-
ling in every shape. At the close Of
dinner one day." he continued, as the
Story is related by William N. Thayer.

David III do you mean TO Beg

'FOliow the sea- exclaimed father;
yes, be a l'oor, miserable, drunken sail
or before the mast, kicked and cuned
about the world, and die in a fever hos
pital in some foreign clime!'
No, father replied, I will tread
the quarter deck and command, as you
do
&c No, David; no boy ever trod the
quarter deck with such principles as you
have, ana such habits as you exhibit.
You will have to change your whole
course Of life, if you ever become q
