COREAN WISDOM.

, The Cosmopolitan is indebted to a
citizen of Corea for a number OF
proverbs and sayings which afford an
interesting insight into Corean modes
of thought, and in this way illustrate
the intellectual aptitude and power OF
observation of the people:
"A thing is good when it is new"
"A man is good when he is old
He who hath eaten salt drinketh
water"
"One can paint the fur of the tiger,
but not his joints"
zone knows the face of man, but
not his interior"
IF one is not observing, one sees
nothing"
Even the blind man can find his
way through an open door.
when the tiger is gone, the fox is
master"
As soon as the moon is fun it be,
gins to grow smaller"
The higher the mountain the deeper
the valley"
Docs smoke come out of freiess
chimney
Even hedgehog says his young
ones are weak"
"A single high wheat stalk is not
distinguished from the rest in the
field"
"A basket full Of gold is not so vain,
abel for a son as instruction in one OF
the classics"
