COREAN OFFICIALS.
The Noble Art of Graft Is Not De-
spiscd-EInckmail and Brib-
cry in OGlciaIdOm.

In view of the negotiations now being
carried on between Russia and Japan,
the picture which we give here OF Corean
government officials is specially inter-
esting. At least 20 per cent. of the
whole population of Corea belongs to
the official class, for every one wants to
live a life of ease at the expense of his
fellow countrymen, says Golden Penny.
A Corean government official does not
think so much of the honor of serving
his country as of the opportunities he
has for ~effecting "squeezes," that is to
say, the levyins Of blackmail, the re-
ceiving Of brides from persons having
business with his superior, the right to
travel everywhere at the public expense,
and other "pickings." The government
appointments are open to competition,
so every one ought to have an equal
chance. The successful candidates,
however, are usually those who pay the
best, or have the most interest. There
are eight governors of provinces in
Coreo. and 1892 projects, and each Off
cial has, according to his rank or wealth,
a body of secretaries, seal bearers, tax
gatherers, soldiers, police and other
servants,

dandruff, but not one but Newbro's
Herpicide tells you that dandruff is the
result of a germ burrowing into the
scalp, and that permanent cure of dan

druff and its subsequent falling and

the germ; and there is no other
preparation that will destroy that
germ but Newbro's Herpicide. "Des-
