A Korean Prison.

In an entertaining article on Korea
the country which Russia covets and
which japan must have-the Rev. Rob
ert II. Speer has this TO say upon the
prisons of that half-barbarous land:
"The gate was wide open and the
courtyard was full of prisoners, and
the surrounding buildings were old
and tottering. asked the chief,
whom one of the two or three listless
attendants called for us. why the pris-
oners did not run away. oh he re-
piled, they would be caught and heat
en- again and kept longer. Now they
will get out SOON But as I looked ut
them I saw that they did not run away
because they could not. The life was
beaten out of them. The keepers
brought the heavy red cord with n
brass hook mt the end and trussed up a
man with 1t to show how the beating
was done, and then brought us the
stiff rods with which victims were
pounded over the shins and thighs un-
Ill the beaten spots were simply masses
of fostering rottenness. There was n
room. black, foul, leprous, In which the
men were fastened In the stocks. The
Black Hole of Calcutta was scarcely
less merciful than tbis."-Leslle's s

This Is an old story of the Chinese
Minister, WI Ting-Fang, In new
form. A reporter had been commits
stoned by his newspaper to interview
Mr.. WI. Following his usual artless
Chinese custom Mr.. WI asked the re-
porter how much salary he received.
"Onc hundred and fifty dollars a
week." he answered.
The familiar comment was at once
Forthcoming. ut Is too much. 1t Is
altogether too much. You are not
worth more than $50 week."
Some time afterward, while talking
with other newspaper men, the Minis
ter learned that the reporter had de-
ceived him, and that instead of re-
ceiving $50 week he was paid not
more than $50. Accordingly the next
time he called at the Chinese legation
in search of information Mr.. WI thus
dismissed him:
You lied to me about your salary.
If you will lie about such n thing as
that you will lie about anything. I
do not trust you. l have nothing to
say to you. l want to revise my for
mer estimate of your value. Instead
of being worth 500 week you are not
worth anything, sir."-Youth's Com
panion.

NIuItiinasted Schooners.

The multimasted schooner is devel-
oping into an important factor in tho
ocean carrying trade. Originally two
masted craft, with fore and aft sails,
it has evolved by regular steps of pro-
gression into seven-masted vessel
whose sails can be all handled from
the deck. Two purposes are thus Sc
cured. First. the element of safety in
the navigation of the vessel is in
creased. as the sail area may he re-
duced without difficulty or danger
whenever desired and under any
weather conditions, and without ar
resting her headway. Secondly, the rig
is the most economical of all to oper-
ate. The sail area is divided up so
that a comparatively small crew can
handle the canvas, and reef and I'M
reef, furl and unfurl, without leaving
the deck. The latter feature makes
the multimnsted schooner the most
profitable of all classes Of ocean car
riers.

The spider Is not an insect, though
probably nine people out of ten would
class 1t under this term. With scor-
pions and mites spiders form class
in the animal kingdom known as
Arachnida. This name is derived
from q mythical parsonage called
Arachne, the daughter of purple dyer
of Lydia, who was fabled to have
challenged Minerva to trial Of
skill in spinning. So indignant was
the goddess at this act of boldness that
she forthwith transformed the hap
less challenger into spider, presum-
ably In order that she might have the
best possible opportunity of practicing
the art ON which she prided herself
SO much.
Spiders differ from insects In five
main particulars. Their eyes are sim
pie instead of compound, they have
eight legs in place of six. they do not
pass through the metamorphoses
which are characteristic of insects.
they have no antennae and their
breathing is accomplished by means Of
organs which combine the functions
of lungs and gills, instead Of by tubes
pervading their bodies. These points
of distinction are sufficient to deter.
mine the fact that It is impossible to
class spiders as insects.

The Prayer Before Gettysburg.

General Daniel Sickles tells story
illustrating the tenderness of Presi.
dent Llncoln's heart as well as his
faith In Providence and his beautiful
optimism. After Sickles had been
wounded at Gettysburg he was re-
moved to Washington. and the Prcsi-
dent called on him at the hospital
When the general described the battle
and the awful slaughter, Lincoln
wept like child" while the two
armies were converelne," said Lin
coin, II went into my room and prayed

mood to-day, Sickles, and say that

not say So" II don't care, Sickles;

dent. And that afternoon, General
Sickles goes on to say, n telegram was
received from General Grant, announc-
ing the fall of Nicksburg. His own
recovery soon followed.

CO N muisrs' Cars.

When English commuters can't get
the accommodation that they want on
their trains going to and from their
homes and places OF business. they
club together I'm an organization and
pay an extra sum to the railroad com
pany for the privilege OF riding In n
special car. Every weekday the
members Of the Lythnm. 81. Anne's
and Blackpool Travelling Club go from
Blackpool, the Brighton OF the NORTH
OF England, to Manchester, 80 miles
distant, In cars which were built
specially for them These cars are
called the club train, though they are
not coupled In one train. hut Join
trains which leave Mt different hours.
The Blackpool Line, running be
tween Manchester and the watering
place. always had it's cars filled In
summer with tourists. much to the in
convenience of business men and rcgr-
lar travellers. So the first class sea
son ticket holders asked the Ian
cashlrc and Yorkshire Railway Co. II
better accommodation could not he
furnished, and In nm effort to do away
with the trouble the company reserved
certain compartments In the railway
carriages for the regulars. But this
didn't Please the transicnts. and was
discontinued. SO the regulars organ
lied themselves into n club. which
was guaranteed to contain at least AZ
members. and which now contains co,
and then went to the railway company
with a definite proposition. They
agreed to pay an extra fare IL Ger
tain number of saloon carriages should
be placed Mt their exclusive disposal.
The company accepted the PROPOSE
tion and built three special carriages,
each seating 80 persons. They are
fitted with lounges and armchairs
A smoking room occupies the center
of the 50-fOot car, and mt one end Is
compartment especially for an at.
tcndant. who ls supplied by the com
pany, and who provides light refresh
ments for the members of the club and
attends to the wants of the travellers.
No friends or guests of the members
are allowed to travel In these cars.
The election of new members Is In
the hands of the president, secretary
and n committee, and to a committee
of at least eight members Is given the
right to expel any member whose con
duct shall make 1t desirable that he
should cease to be member of the
club.
II is likely That n similar club train
will be established on the railway
running between London and Brigh-
ton.

Small Men For the Army.

A surgeon Of the British army who
has had much experience in passing
recruits argues for little men for fight
ing purposes, believing that the idea
be good and efficient soldier unless
he measures certain number of feet
and inches in height. In modern war
fare, where the issue of every sight
is usually decided at distance. stat
ure counts for little apd is rather a
disadvantage than otherwise. This
officer therefore suggests the reduc-
ing to minimum of five feet the
standard height of all recruits for
mounted Infantry. and light cavalry.

The engineer of the twentieth cen
tury will have need of all the knowl.
edge education can bring. The nine
teenth century skinned the cream of
invention; what was on the surface
has been appropriated. James Watt
made 1t impossible any one else should
have quite so brilliant record as
himself, and yet his masterstroke of
Invention, the separate condenser. did
not need abstruse scientific attain
ments. although Watt was essentially
scientific in his methods. SO each sue
cessful worker In the field of inven-
tion does something to exhaust the
soil. and render needful higher fertlli-
zatlon for further productiveness. New
vlstas, however, are constantly being
opened out, and, to continue our anal
ogy, we have something like the rota-
tion of crops in the changing instru-
ments by which the engineer attains
his ends. 1t is becoming more and
more evident that the day of the un-
educated engineer, the man who by
mere force of genius accomplished re-
suits which have changed the face of
nature, is being replaced by the epoch
of the skilled master of methods in ap-
piled science.-The Engineer.
