Some Pertinent Facts About Hermit Kingdom.

Korea, the bone of contention in
the war in the East, is small State
with an area of $4,000 square miles
and population of 100000. 1t is
governed by an emperor, and is nomi-
nally independent, but for ten years
struggle has been in progress be-
tween the japanese aud Russians as
to who shall be the real master of it..
The Japanese have the right of main.
tanning force of a 1000 men to
protect the telegraphs there, which
are their property. The Russians
have obtained concessions in the
North, on the banks of the Yalu, and
are reported to have fortified Yon-
gampho.
The strategic Importance of Ko-
rea is great. The country is only
1l5 miles from Japan; from it Japan
draws a great part of her food sup
ply, and to it she sends her surplus
population. 1t has two fine harbors,
Fusan- Masampho and Gesan. Both
have been coveted by the Russians.
Korea has an army of 1900 men.
The standing army now consists of
about $1,000 men with European
methods. In 1888 it was taken in
hand by Russian colonel with three
commissioned and ten non commits
stoned officers, who retired, however,
in 1898. A royal body-guard of
1000 men was formed and has been
well drilled and periodically a draft
of well trained men is transferred
from it to the other regiments of the
standing army.

They Pounced on Their Major.

Spartanburg, March 1O.-.The
trouble at Clemson College, a few
days ago, was brought about, it.:is
now said, by Major of Cadets Ham
lin administering reprimand to one
of the cadets for being late at re-
veille one morning. The major and
the cadet became involved in words
and finally in a fight. The cadet be-
ing small boy, other cadets went to
his aid, and as a result the major was
pretty badly punished before the
contest ended. He had to retire
from his duties because of his inju-
rles and he was compelled to keep to
his room for two weeks. He ap-
pealed to the faculty and the matter
was then taken up with the faculty
on one side and the students on the
other. 1t is said that there were
several expulsions on account of the
trouble.

"a DELIBERATE FABRICATION"
What Cleveland Says Of the Story OF HIS
Dining Negro.

Washington, March 1O.--In the
House to-day letter from Grover
Cleveland to Representative Webb,
of North Carolina, was read, denying
that 9. III. j. Taylor, a negro, had
dined with him at the White House
while he was President, as charged
by Representative Scott, of Kansas,
few days ago.
Mr.. Webb said he had written the
former President, sending him an
extract from the Record, and asking
if the statements made by Mr.. Scott
were true.
"rhis morning." he said, 81 re-
ceived the following reply" which
he read amid applause on the Demo
cratic side:
"Princeton, N. j., March 2, 1904.
e. Y. Webb, House of Representa-
tives-Dear Sir: 1t is matter of
small concern to me that Mr.. Scott
has seen fit to use my name in dis
play of his evil propensities on the
floor of the House of Representatives.
"1n answer to your inquiry, how
ever, | have to say of his statement
that the colord man, @. H. j. Taylor,
took lunch with me at the White
House, that it is deliberate farhrica-
tion out of the whole cloth.
GAS far as Mr.. Taylor is concerned,
l understand that prior to his appoint
ment as register of deeds at Washing
ton he had served as an assistant in
the office of the CITY attorney at
Kansas City. His nomination as
register was confirmed by the Senate
and he served in that place with
intelligence and efficiency. He has
since died. Some people restrain
themselves from abusing the dead.
"My inquiries concerning Mr..
Taylor before his appointment, my
observation of him during his in
cumbency, and the little l have
,, known of him since, satisfy me that
his character is very unjustly at
tackled in the diatrbe of Mr.. Scott.
zone charge is made against Mr..
Taylor by Mr.. Scott, which he
doubly clinches with truth when he
declares sHe was a black negro
| am led, however, to doubt his
familiarity with his subject when he
adds 'As black as you ever saw
Yours very truly,
Grover Cleveland"
Mr.. Webb said he wanted this
denial to travel that the statement of
Mr.. Scott might be overtakep.
"Mr. Cleveland was friend of the
negro, but not fool FRIEND" said
Mr.. Webb. He never by word or
act encouraged the dream of social
equality in the breast of the black
man." This was greeted with APP
plause by the Democrats. "Again,"
he continued, "he was the friend Of
the colored man, but he also was the
friend of the Southern white man,
and sympathized with us in our race
problems and race burdens, and that,

Remarkable Skin Grating

One of the most remarkable ex-
ANGLES OF skin grating known to
the surgical world in long time
was the operation performed on
chester, N. Y, whose scalp was
torn from her head when her hair
was caught in the shaft of an au-
tomobile ten days ago in Central
Park. As a result, although her
life was despaired of at the time
of the accident, she is now well on
the road to recovery.
When Miss Dougherty was taken
hurriedly to the Presbyterian hos
pital from the park every effort
was concentrated on the saving OF
her life. The doctors had no time
to waste in learning what had be-
come of the severed scalp. Early
next morning park policeman,
looking about the place OF accl-
dent, found the torn scalp in the
roadway. He took it in all haste
to the hospital. The doctors de-
cided to replace the scalp, pro,
vided Miss DOugherty was equaI
to the strain. That night the oper'
alton took place, "a hours after
the accident. DR.. f. Tilden Browi
performed the work, which LASTED
several hours.

A PULLING TRICK.
How TO IneIoss an Egg In Marrow
Nscked Bottle.

"lf you were TO see an egg in
closed in bottle with neck so mar
row that it would scarcely admit OF
the passage of an object one-half
the size of the egg, it would give
you just cause for wonder and
amazement, wouldn't it?" said
man who is master of many puz-
zling tricks.
"And yet it is an exceedingly
simple and easy trick to perform.
In order to accomplish it with en-
tire success an egg of any size may
be taken and placed in quantity
Of vinegar, enough to cover the egg
completely, and in the vinegar it
should be allowed to stand for three
or four days. During this time the
vinegar will gradually absorb all
the lime in the shell, thus rendering
it as soft and pliable as a piece Of
cloth, but without altering its ap-
pearancc in the least. The egg may
then be taken and forced. through
the neck of a bottle, one not too
small, however, but due care should
be observed in this, for any punch
ing or scratching with the fingers
will be apt to perforate the shell.
The best way to get it through is to
roll it out slightly between the
palms of the hands. The bottle
should also be held so that the egg
will slide easily down the sides and
not drop. Once the egg is inside,
fill the bottle half full of lime wa
ter and let it stand thus for several
days.
''rhe shell will absorb the lime
and in this way resume its former
hard and brittle condition, after
which the water may be poured of,
and in the perfect egg in narrow
necked bottle one has a decidedly
curious object." st. Louis Globe
Democrat.
