Masampho is quaint tand picturesque
town, nearly as much so as Fusan,
from which 1t is not far removed. One
of the sights of Masampho is her shop
ping district, which consists OF In
Vulnerable mats spread out on the
ground, upon which are exhibited the
wares of their owners, who squat be-
side them.
But the chief joys of Masampho are
her deliclously strange little women
the never to be forgotten Masamphon-
ese, wild eyed glossy haired dump
lings, with cherry lines for mouths,
who waddle around and about, quack-
ing in fascinating tones.
The Masampho bellies toilet Is worthy
of the time she spends upon it. Her
face is washed with honey oil instead
of water. Sometimes she sifts fine
powder scented with her favorite flow
er over It,
She may stain her complexion to suit
her fancy but generally she prefers
1t to be the natural color, which is
beautiful ecru. Though she may never
be seen by man, save husband or ia
ther, during curfew time or women's
hours-S p. IN. and n. m.-she may go
out freely visiting friends and rela-
tives. Her hair is brushed with
fragrant bunch Of switches and glued
into many different forms. Sometimes
it makes a butterfly or a tortoise and
1t other times lot of leaves or little
Bampan.
When 1t is properly shaped, big jade
or glass pins are stuck in. The only
cap she ever wears has no crown. Its
back is shaped like helmet, and there
ore two long tassels hanging from the
forehead and neck brim. Her cotton
trousers are as full as q divided skirt
and become narrow Mt the ankles,
where they meet little socks made of
grass and picturesque shoes. Her skirt
is very full and shirred at the top into
an eight inch band. This fits tightly
around the chest and under the arms
The jacket worn is not over sever
inches in length and runs the gamu
of Korean blues and greens, which are
somewhat the tints Of the peacock's
tail
If Of the common people, she may al
low her small feet and ankles to show
but If of noble blood her skirts mus

any possibility they should meet ;

their heads, leaving only a slit in from
for the eyes.-New York Post.

1t was evening, and Mrs. steel was
alone in the house; but Mrs. Steel
was brave. Suddenly she heard the
sound of the opening of a window,
ami a muffied footstep echoed from
the dining room. But never tremor
agitated that noble woman. Bravely
she walked to the room whence the
sounds emanated, and came face to
face with a burglar, who held re-
volver point-hlank at her.
Tell me where the money is hid"
he hissed, "or I'll fire.
Never" she answered determined
ly. "Villain, do your worst!
Il will" snarled the scoundrel baf-
fed, but not beaten. Tell me in
stantly where your husbands gold is

clever Detective work.

A distinguished surgeon, who was
also n detective In embryo, was called
TO perform an operation upon a man
who had been shot by an unknown as
sasSin. The position Of the man and
the mystery of the shooting rendered
the case notorious. The man was un-
conscious at the time of the operation.
and nothing could be obtained from
him. When the doctor examined the
wound, he said to his assistant:
"A pistol has been fired at him by n
person who is left handed"
While he was explaining the reasons
for his conclusion Mr. IS partner, n
Mr.. n, entered the room. Something
about his manner attracted the atten-
ton of the eminent surgeon, and he
whispered to his colleague:
"If that man were left handed,
should ut once suspect him Of the
crime"
The next instant he turned to Y. and
said:
"Will you kindly hand me that lint?"
Y. did so, using his left hand. The
man died. y. was accused of the muir
der and upon being tried and condemn
ed confessed his guilt.

Enforccd church Attendance.

In the reign of Edward VI. an act
was passed which provided that every
one "shall diligently and faithfully,
having no lawful or reasonable excuse
to be absent, endeavor themselves to

usual place where common prayer
shall be used-on Sundays and holl-
days-upon penalty of forfeiting for
every nonattendancc - pence, to be
levied by the church wardcns TO the
use of the poor" AS the years rolled
on, however, the penalties for nonat-

passed: IAN persons who do not 20 to

Many eccentricities are pardoned In
musical geniuses, especially by those
who do not suffer from them. Unfor-
tunately the object of a musicians
wrath is quite apt to be unable to ap-
preciate why he has offended.
One can fancy the possessor of the
unframed voice who figures in the fol-
lowing story thinking hard things of
the celebrated composer Rameau.
One day Rameau while calling on a
lady fixed stern glance on little dog
who sat in her lap and was barking
good nature1ly. Suddenly Rameau
seized the poor little fellow and threw
him out of the window.
"What is the matter?" asked his
hostess, much alarmed.
HE barked false!' said Rameau in

CrystnIlixinE Flowers.

The process of crystallizing flowers
is simple and can be satisfactorily ac-
cOmplshcd by any one who has artis-
tic skill. Arrange some basket forms
Of any desired pattern with pliable
copper wire and wrap them with
gauze. Into these tie TO the bottom
violets. ferns, geranium leaves-in
fact. any flowers except full blown
roses-and sink them in II solution of
alum of one pound to gallon of wa
ter. Wait until the solution has cool
ed, as the colors will then be pre-
served in their original beauty, and
the crystallized alum will hold them
faster than when formed in Il hot solu-
ton. When you have light covering
of crystals that completely envelops
the articles, remove cheerfully and
allow 1t to drip twelve hours. These
baskets make Il unique ornament and
long preserve their freshness.
