THE MILD HAMMERED KoREAE.

Bret Harte's characterization of "the
heather ChineeD as peculiar notwith-
standing the fact that his smile is
"childlike aud bland, would seem to
apply to the Cslestials cousin in "the
Land Of the Morning Calm" The Ko-
rean is baby faced individual, chiefly
noted for his apparent nonresistant
character, his childish curiosity, his
intimate association with dirt and his
antipathy for work. But 1t appears
that underneath his mild and inoffen-
has some very strenuous and aggres-
sive characteristics. These are shown
to best advantage in his treatment Of
criminals. Here this peaceful disciple
of inactivity chops off a head with all
the sang froid Of French revolution
naire and shows an ingenuity for tor
ture that makes Torquemada look
clumsy. Not only does he believe that
the "sins of the fathers descend to the
third and fourth generations" but also
that they extend contemporaneously to
uncles, aunts, cousins, mothers-in-l law
and kinfeik of even more remote de-
gree. Woe to the Korean family that
develops chicken thief in it's midst
The manner in which these sons Of
rest punish their offenders is thus de-
scribed by the Washington Post:
For example, when man has been con-
victed of treason. they not only chot off
his head at early dawn; they decapitate
also his male relatives to the fifth de-
gree. and then poison his mother, wife
and daughters. A female traitor is poi
soned. In the case of murderer, the
monster is put to death and his wife
poisoned. Arson is punished by strangu-
lation or rough on rats, and the wife is
not separated from her husband either.
Counterfeiting and theft are treated SINH
larly, with the difference that the thief $
property is confiscated besides. Desecra-
ton OF graves seems to be held in as
great horror as treason for the criminal
and his male relatives are all decapitated
and the ladies of the family killed In 9TH
er but equally effective ways Presumably
unclassifed Offenders are handled on a
sliding scale of vigor and get all that
Is coming to them even under the husky
dispensation we have indicated.
The Post might have added quite as
choice chapter Of horrors on the Ko-
rean torture of witnesses. The thumb
screw and rack are benevolent in COM
parison to some Of these. The break
ing OF bones and rending apart of ten
dons are among the earlier and milder
steps. 1t seems that those who testify
are quite as averse to the truth as the
average male Korean is to labor, and
that the authorities believe the truth
can only be got out of witness by
literally tearing him limb from limb.
Yet 1t is said that big six foot hulk
Of Korean manhood-pardon the term
used in such connection-will march
along under the kicks and belaborings
Of Japanese boy as docile as Mis-
souri, mule in the hands of his driver
Thus 1t would seem that these pasty
| featured Mongols are only brave when
the other fellow is securely bound and
