A peculiar custom is followed in re-
mote Korea, where man is not per-
mitted to attain to the dignity of
trousers until he has become Bene-
dict, which, in accordance with Korean
tradition, amounts to the same thing
as gaining definite position in life,
as the Korean youth is not permitted
to take wife unto himself until he Is
able to support her according to his
and her rank and to enable her to take
her proper position in society. The
steady encroachment of Western ideas
from Russia and Japan is bringing

We have heard much lately about the

shall consider here.

So, II the struggle IN this vale of

us that good many people are in con-
slant active training for the struggle.
There are exceptions to every rule, of
course, but the chances OF winning
this ancient fight for decent earthly
existence are better with the man who
