SLEEVES IN Wells,
The Peculiar Costume of the Women OF
Korea.

hOreA.
In Korea, where Chinese customs
predominant, 1t 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 a
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
It, 1t is always white, to match the
other Korean garments. AS nation
from collie to nandarin-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
is 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 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
sight of such an unexpected force of
Koreans, fled in haste, and the city
was saved. When the army returned
and it was made known what the wom-
en- had done, it was decreed that there
after they should wear mems sleeves
hanging from their wells as mark OF
honor and badge of their bravery in
the national crisis. Even more I'M
comfortable than the wells must be the
massive headdress of the woman who
acts as bridesmaid at 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 fantastic
way on the unfortunate woman's head
till wonderful effect is obtained.

Crow May Supplant Carrier Pigeon.

Germany, which brought out the dog
as bearer Of help to the wounded on
the battlefield, Is thinking now of sup
planting the carrier pigeon with the
crow. One argument in favor of this
substitution is that while people might
kill carrier pigeons for food the crow
would be exempt from that danger, as
eating crow" is a term Of contempt
with civilized peoples. On the other
hand, if people will not eat crow, crow
will eat carrion, and it is feared that
these crafty birds might linger too
long over the succulent feasts of the
battlefield to make them valuable as
carriers of dispatches. However, a So
ciety has been formed in Germany to
exploit the crow in this new field.
Members Of this society believe that
the crow can be tanned and trained,
and awhile ago the Kaiser solemnly
reviewed a crow in march past"
which in foreign armies Is equivalent
to our review" The emperor walked
around the crow. and then the crow
marched past the emperor, who ex-
pressed himself as delighted with the
appearance Of his newest and strangest
recruit But as to experimenting with
the crow as a bearer Of dispatches
that really hasn't been done yet.

The Michigan forestry commission
recently held meeting, attended by
Mr.. Skeels, land agent for the state
board Of agriculture. He submitted the
following estimates of lands available
for forestry purposes: The state has
about 100000 acres of land that has
reverted through delinquent taxes and
about 100000 acres of tax homestead
lands. About rs per cent of these lands
were originally covered with a second
growth of timber. There are 1000 900
acres of what are known as jack pine
plains in Michigan, the timber varying
with the nature of the soil. On the
poorer soil these pines are scrubby and
of little value. The stronger landa
bear some black Norways rhat are val
liable, and also some scattc.'i white
pines, but the latter are of ne buck
wheat" variety and do not lave long,
clean bodies. 1t has been determined
that the character of the tin yel on the
pine plains does not depen as much
on the soil as it does on the accident of
seed distribution.
The study of agriculture Is to be in
PRODUCED into the Minneapo is schools
if the plans of several members of the
board of education prevail. The wo *
is to be conducted under special SUI
pervisior of teachers skilled in educat-
ing children in the art of filling the
soil. The study will be pursued in the
summer months only.

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
ACRICULTURISTS
Sene Up-to-Date Hints About Cultiva-
tion OF the Soil and Yields Thereof
Horticulture, viticulturs and Fioricul-
ture.
Climatic Mobilization of Plants.

Climatic Modification of Plants.
We have previously referred to the
desirability of having plants that are
able to Withstand higher or lower
temperature than usually supposed
possible for any particular variety we
now cultivate. We have, as a people,
long labored under the delusion that
the habitat of plants is fixed so far as
their power to Withstand adverse eli
matte conditions Is concerned. In Tie
light of recent experiments, however
we are coming to believe that even our
most serviceable plants may be modi-
fec by proper handling so they will
ultimately be Of great service in tenn
peratures and conditions not now
adapted to them. We have an alfalfa
today that will not stand severe con-
dition Of cold. Recently there has been
imported from Northern Asia an alfal-
ia that can stand up to 40 degrees of
cold. Without doubt both plants de-
veloped from the same prehistoric
parent and formed characteristics ac-
cording to their conditions.
That this modification, however,
need not cover centuries of time is per-
haps quite clearly demonstrated by
some experiments that have been car
ried on for ten or fifteen years in
switzerland. 1t was determined to
learn II possible if the plants growing
in the Swiss valleys could be made to
develop and grow on the cold noun
tains, and, if so, what the modifica-
tions of the plants would be- Thirty
five orders of plants, represented by
about 80 genera and 100 species, were
subjected to the conditions OF the ex-
pertinent. The plan was to divide the
roots or root stalks into equal parts,
plant in the same kind of soil, and ex-
pose them to the conditions found at
various stations upon the Alps and
Pyranee mountains. Such changes as
were noted were attributed to more
intense light, drier atmosphere and
lower temperatures.
4nese plants were found to be modi-
fled both in form and structure in the
course of few years. Under the eff
feet Of the mountain conditions the
underground portions of the plants be-
came relatively better developed than
the parts above the ground. The stems
above the ground in a few years de-
veloped a tendency to hairy growth
and to lie close to the ground as if to
escape the cold blasts. They became
more spreading and the internodes be-
came shorter. The stems became thick
er, which evidently made it easier for
them to withstand conditions of cold.
On the plants of a woody nature the
bark became thicker. The leaves be-
came smaller and more hairy, and took
on hue of deeper green. On the 9TH
er hand the flowers became relatively
larger and more highly colored. Per
haps one of the most interesting facts
brought out was that If liant that
had been modified by several ears ex-
posture on the mountains were taken
again to the plains, it would lose its
modif cations in the same period of
time il had taken to acquire them.

The DUTY OF MOTHERS.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and great deal
Of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should SEQ
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate TO take their
daughters to physician for examine
ton but no mother need he,itate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address Ia

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date Of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-
lating woman's peculiar monthly
troubles
