He was diligent workman. From
early morning until dark he was In his
studio, and yet no models ever came,
nor did he go OH sketching tours.
One day the usual quiet OF his studio
was broken by an alteration which
those In the next room could not help
hearing, as the voices grew louder. The
uncommunicative and diligent worker
was heard to say, Il want my money"
Evidently the cash was not forthcom-

All tho energies Of the fungus plant
seem to be directed to the production
Of germs for propagating its kind.
Their number is often almost incalcu-
liable. You have doubtless observed
that the common puff ball when ma
ture is filled with n fine dust, and this
consists entirely of spores correspond
ing to seeds, which are eventually DIFF
fused in the air by the bursting Of the
puff ball. In single pun ball more
than 100000 of them have been
counted, and when these minute bod
les are once set ufoat In the atmos-
phere they are distributed abroad over
an indefinite space. being SO small that
1t is difficult to conceive of a place
from which they could be excluded.
Their astonishing fertility and rapidity
of growth are among the most remark
able characteristics OF this vegetable
tribe.

CURIOUS KOREAN CUSTOM.
The Battle of Stones which Marks
beginning of New Year,

The Battle of Stones which Marks
Beginning of New Year.
One of the most curious customs in
Korea marks the advent of the new
year. This Is the battle with stones,
participated in by inhabitants of Seoul.
At spot about mile and q half out
side the city walls on the main road to
the Han river, the people assemble by
thousands either as witnesses of or par
Elephants In this truly remarkable exhi-
bition of warlikc good will. By prevI-
GUS arrangement piles of stones are In
readiness, all carefully selected and OF
a convenient size.
Without previous selection of COM
batants the participants form them
selves into opposing armies, about the
only qualification for service being ap.
parently the ability to hurl stone at
the advancing forces of the enemy. At
first the stone throwing Is at long range
and uninteresting. but ms the throwing
continues the forces draw nearer, and
the fight wakes fast and furious, men
being detailed TO collect the stones into
heaps again or fetch fresh ammunition
for the firing line. Then the clash
comes. the two bodies meet, fierce rush
es are made, stones are discarded, and
knives and clubs are freely used. The.
clash of weapons, the screams of the
combatants, the surging mass of men,
some being trampled to death, now
falling. now struggling to their feet. the.
blood flowing from numerous c,;.s thes
whole goes TO make a picture that de-
picts anything but the JOY we attribute
to the coming of a new year. The fight
is kept up until the clang of the great
city bell tells the combatants that 1t is
time to return home.
Perhaps the most singular feature
Of the celebration Is that during the
remaining eleven months Of the year
the Korean Is as amiable person as
can be found in any country, and by
some writer's the average Korean is
characterized as the most abject cow
ard on the face OF the earth
But, towards or no towards, the;
Korean people still indulge, as they
have for years, In this annual warlike
welcome OF the new year. Indeed 1t Is
legal in Korea to fight not only on
New Years day, but during the first
moon or month of the year. The Gus
| tom has become n national institution,
sanctioned by the government and
patronized by the king and the noblli-
ty. The police attend the battles, but
merely to keep order among the specta>
tors. Fighting is the Koreans prlvf-
lege with the advent of each new year,
and he Is expected to exercise that
privilege to the extent of his ability II
he would be accounted good, country
loving Korean.-New York Tribune.

The fact is but little known TINT the

was not originally Nightingale, but
Shore. Her father was a rich Sheffield
banker of the name of Shore and con-
nected with an old family which had
been In possession of land In the coun
ties of Derby and York since the fir
teenth century. Mr.. Shore assumed the
name of Nightingale long after the
