WASHING IN THE OLD WORLD. ].
Corean Women Have Most to Do in
 Cleaning Husbands Clothes.

The hardest worked washerwomen in the world are the Coreans. They have to wash about dozen dresses for their hus- bands, and they have plenty to do. The washing is usually done in cold water. and often in running streams. The clothes are pounded with paddles until they shine like a shirt front fresh from Chinese laundry.
 The Japanese rip their garments apart for every washing, and they iron their clothes by spreading them on flat board and leaning this up against the house to dry. The sun takes the wrinkles out of the clothes. and some of them have quite a luster. The Japanese woman does her washing out of doors Her wash-tub IS not more than six inches high. She geta the dirt out of the clothes by rubbing them between her hands. She sometimes uses Japanese soap. which is full Of grease, and works away with her bare feet. The Chinese girls do their washing in much the same way.
 The washing in Egypt is usually done by the men. The Egyptian washerwomau stands naked on the banks of the Nile and slaps the wet clothes. with a noise like that the shot of a pistol. on the smooth stones at the edge of the running water. and such fellah women as wash pound the dirt out of their clothes In the same way.

Los Angeles Times
 The Seventh Day Adventists who be- lieve, among other things, in the secon,i coming of Christ. and a subsequent end to the world see proof of their belief anl Bible prophecies in the recent seiS- mic and volcanic disturbances in South America and the West Indies. Conse- quently they are preparing. by means Of frequent prayer and religious services. to meet the Saviour and follow Him to Heaven. when the world is no more. Daily and nightly services are being held on the subject ny their pastors, and all mem- bers are eXhorted tO cleanse themselves of sin and prepare to meet their Maker. They believe that the recent calamities are only the beginning of the fulfillment os the Bible prophecy that mountains will level. islands will be submerged, and the earth will tremble before the end. and they claim that the earth will be disin- tegrated and return to it's original cha otic state and that all life will be de- stroyed. Many of the sect are making house to- house canvasses. exhorting ev- cry one to read the Bible, pray and re- pent.
 It was pointed out by several of the leaders that about month ago, during an assembly in this city. several men had predicted that the signs of the end of the world. as set forth In the Bible, would begin during the present month.

If by some social upheaval it became necessary for the English royal family to earn money, there is no doubt that Princess Louise. Duchess of Argyll. would take up art as a profession. for she is an artist through and through.
