Coincidences Of Dates.

Attention has often been called to
the curious fact OF the date Sept. 3 fig.
uring SO largely In the history of Oliver
Cromwell. That very dominating man
was born on Sept. 3. 1890; he won the
battle OF Dunbar Sept. 3. 1850: that of
Worcester Sept, 3, 1851. and he died
Sept. 3, 1858. But we have lately come
across some condolences OF dates
which so far as we know. have not
been noticed before. The number SS
seems to have had fatal influence on
the Stuarts. Robert H.. the first Stu
art king, died in 1888; James III, was
killed ut the siege Of Roxburche Cas-
tie, 14SS. Mary. queen of Scots, was
beheaded in Fotheringay. 1888 (bew
style): James VII I'll. of Euglahd
was dethroned in 1858: Bonny Prince
Charlie died in Rome. 1888. and with
him died the last hopes Of the Jacob

CURIOUS KOREAN CUSTOM.
The Battle of stones Which MaFkS
Beginning of New Year.

The Battle of stones which MaFkS
Beginning of New Year.
One of the most curious customs In
Korea marks the advent of the new
y.ar This Is the battle with stones,
participated In by inhabitants OF Seoul.
AZ SPOT about a mile and 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
tcipants in this truly remarkable exhi-
bition Of warIIke good will. BY previ-
ous 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 as 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 cuts--the
whole goes TO make 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 a person as
can be found in any country, and by
some writers 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 a national institution
sanctioned by the government and
patronize& by the king and the nobili-
ty. The police attend the battles, but
merely to keep order among the specta-
tors. Fighting is the Koreans privi-
lege with the advent of each new year,
and be 10 expected to exercise that
privilege to the extent of his ability II
he would be accounted good country
loving korean.-New York Tribune.
