Women's Work in Korea.

AS there are no labor-saving machines
In Korea woman's work is done by the
crudest methods possible, form hulling
rice with heavy wood or stone pestle
to washing clothes by beating them in
the streams and ironing them with
sticks. In order to iron, the clothes
must be ripped apart and wrapped
around a wooden roller while damp;
they are then beaten by either one or
two women. 1t is surprising to see the
gloss on the white calico and the sheen
upon the linen produced by this method
f ironing. 1t surpasses the dressing
one sees in this country on newly bought
linen. Since the people dress exclusive

much of the night, Tools spent in

CoNSUL'S REPORT SPICY.
1t Deals in Many Fascinating Sub
jects, Aloes and Incense Being
Among Them.

"Aloes, civet, myrrh and incense"
are the fascinating subjects discussed
in a report from Consul Masterson at
Alden, according to the Portland Ore
gonian. 1t seems strange that such
things should be regarded as mere arti-
cles of commerce, but so it is. Mr..
Masterson says that Alden is the export
market Of these four substances and
that no other port can ever GUST it.
Or aloes Alden last year exported 81
696 pounds, nearly all OF 1t going to
London. Civet, which is one of the es-
sential ingredients of nearly every
high-grade perfume made, is taken
from the pouch of the civet cat, an ami
NAL found in Abyssinia The annual
production of civet ranges from $50 to
300 pounds. and about half of this
amount is shipped to New York. The
price at Alden is from S1.60 to 1924 an
ounce, according to purity Myrrh is
principally used as an ingredient in in
cense, and the amount annually ex-
ported from Alden is about 1,344.0
pounds, A strange use of myrrh is
made by the Abyssinian hunters, who
smear their bodies with 1t before hunt
ing elephants, in the belief that their
quarry will not attack them on account

men earning that salary are able to
save enough to provide for their old
AGE. and own their houses and little
land. The Government clerk cannot
do as well in Washington, because II
costs HIM too much to live. 1t would
cost the Government less to pension
him in his old age than to raise his
salary so that he could lay by enough
money to live on the interest, and that
is what he would have to DO to be as
comfortable as the pension would
make him. The uncertainty of most
real estate property in any city has
made such investments dubious in the
past, and the clerk cannot carry or
any business in addition to his work,
nor can he bring his children up TO
help him in his work. His future,
therefore, depends on his salary alone.
He need not be stigmatized as extrav-
agant, therefore, if he fails to aceu-
mulate bank account.

He was 5old that they were searching
