Ecccntric Eaic,s in Korea.

That the Sovereign of the Land Of
the Morning Calm, otherwise Korea,
has some peculiar notions which he i'm.
presses upon his subjects is not per.
laps matter Tor surprise, hut they are
matter for amusement Every Korean
official wears a band of woven horse
hair, which fits tightly round his head.
Mr.. Hatch, In u recently published
book OH the manners and customs OF
Korea. says. The origin OF This curious
adornmcnt is attributed to II desire on
his Imperial Majesty's part to restrain
the intellectual powers Of his servants.
According To his notion, brains might
expand if not thus held in, II Is not
unlnstructivc to know" adds Mr..
Hatch, that the Emperor does not
deem this adOrnment necessary in his
own case"
The hats worn by Korean state func-
tlonaries have brims of enormous di.
mensions--thrcc feet across sometimes
and are required to bc made Of clay.
The reason for this. Mr.. Hatch re-
marks, Is that some years ago the then
Ruler of Korea was annoyed at the
habit OF whispering that prevailed ut
court. and So decided upon compelling
his cOurticrs to wear hats that would
make it somewhat more difficult to put
their heads close together ami exchange
condolences.

New Mail Docks.

The Pacific Mail Steamship Company
has applied to the Harbor Commission
of San Francisco for six new wharves,
each 800 feet in length by 125 feet in
width. One of them is to be a two
story affair, the second story to stand
a strain of 125 pounds to the square
inch, and the others ordinary single
deck wharves all built after the most
approved modern pattern. The company
desires the Commission to receive sep
arate bids for the wharves, and to sub
NIT plans and specifications to the COM
pany before any contract is awarded.
1t is probable that the Pacific Mails
request will meet with the approval
of the Commission. These wharves
will do much to relieve the congestion
of traffic that has existed since the
lines big new boats.
