The Fate of Korea.

Near the city of Seoul, the capital of Korea, is a hill called Pouk Han, which was formerly covered with trees. The legend runs that so long as a tree re mains on the hill so long will Korea maintain it's independence, and there fore no one is allowed to cut or touch tree. says the London Sketch. But the natural consequence of this want of forestry has been that the trees have gradually died off until now, only one is left. On this one tree it is believed when 1t goes Korea as an independent state will go with it. The only ques- tion is, Will the old tree be able to last until the official Japanese protectorate Is proclaimed?

reviews its wonderful growth since
it's organization in 1875 by its presi-
dent, United States Senator John E.

Change in Eastern Situation.
During the past week there has been
somewhat of change in the aspect
of the Eastern war The uninter-
rupted success of the Japanese mas
given place to serious reverses that
may ultimately affect the result OF
the war. Admiral Togo, in command
of the feet blockading Port Arthur,
reported that May ID the cruisers
Kasaga and Yoshino collided in fog
aud the Yoshino sank almost imme-
ately, only 90 of her crew beng
saved. Togo also reported that the
same day the battleship Hatsuse
struck a mine and was sunk, some
300 of her crew being rescued. Inc
Yoshino was 4180 tonner, and the
Hatsuse one of Japan's best ships,
with a tonnage of 10 600. The Rus-
slams have succeeded in removing the
distractions placed in the mouth OF
Port Artl ur harbor by thu japanese
so that small boats can emerge
Togo also reports that in a subsequent
reconnaissance one of his torpedo
destroyers was struck by Russian
shell and one officer and 81 mer
killed. These losses by the japanese
navy have tended to restore the two
forces to something like equality
and as soon as the pending repairs OF
the il jured Russian battleships ar
pleted-aboutJ June 1st-the latte
may assume the aggressive. Thu
Japs are left with only five first-cIas
battleships. The Japanese navs
losses have emphasized the urgenc
of their taking Port Arthur befor
the arrival of the Baltic squadron, 81
that the latter would find itself with
out depot in that quarter. Russia
rejoicing at the naval losses of thei
foe is somewhat tempered by tn
destruction of one of their own fin
armore6 cruisers of the Vladisvosto
squadron. the Bogatyr, which got o
, the rocks and had to be blown u
after her crew and guns had bee
, removed.

Wallace makes much of it's distance as
an argument in his favor, this uni
verse was called into existence by the
will of a Creator for a specific pur-
pose, the production of man. ASsum-
ing the initial fact, we must agree with
DR.. Wallace in assigning hundreds Of
millions of years to the age of the
universe. Then there arrived man. He
has been here for a few hundreds of
thousands of years. He has still few
"a very few-millions of years to run.
1t is true that in one place DR.. Wallace
speaks of him as permanent" but
elsewhere he repeatedly admits there
must come-and that comparatively
soon-a period to mans existence. But
he has apparently never asked himself,

Money if 1t Fails TO Clre'
A long stride toward solving the
mystery of curing catarrh was taken
with the discovery of Hyomei. In
fact. the percentage of cures by this
treatment proves it equal TO the
final tests.
The folly of taking medicine INTO
the stomach to cure catarrh of the
nose. throat, and lungs, has been real
lied by physicians, but not until
Hvomei was known had they prac-
teal method that would obviate
stomach drugging.
