WHAT KIND OF LAND
 THE KOREANS INHABIT

From Bradstreets Journal.
 Now that more or less interest is felt as to the affairs of Korea, a few facts about the country will not be amiss. Koreans call their country the Land of the Chosen" but those who have resided there term is the land of contrasts. Though there are no conclusive statistics, it is estimated that the population of the country, which constitutes peninsula, is between 10,000.OOO and 12,0OOOoO, scat tered over an area of about 5000 square miles.
 The coast line measures 1,H square miles. The western coast abounds in islands, reefs and promontories. The sea is shallow and generally rough, while the tide rises from twenty-three to thirty feet. Navigation. owing to these condi- tions, is difficult. In winter the northern ports are closed by ice, but the eastern coast, on the Pacific ocean, is much more regular in outline. The sea Is almost tideless, navigatiin is easy fish are abundant and in the north it possesses a bor-Gensau-at all times free from ice and capable of accommodating vessels of considerable tonnage The other principal ports of Korea are 4-raiju, Chemulpo and F,usan. The coEutry is traversed from north to south by a chain of mountains, which throw off laterally number of spurs. In the northern regions the range

HIGH COLLARS CAUSE HEADACHE
Moreover, They Are Bad for Ones
 Nerves, This Man Says.

From the Dallas News.
 You may not know 1t, old fellow, but there Is very intimate connection be- tween the high collar and the headache" said an observant man, ''and I have proved my faith in the statement by re- fusing to wear collars of the high sort. It is bad business. my boy. High col lars choke up the veins and arteries and interfere to some extent with the circu- lation of the blood in the neck and head Do not understand me to be knocking far as the appearance of the high collar is concerned, I confess that I like it.
 'In my own case 1t has been a great blessing in at least one way, for fellows with long necks, you know, do not look so well when you harness them ifp in low collars. My neck Is long, long as a cranes. and the high collar has kept me from leaving too much of it exposed. Why, I've got so much neck that when first began to wear low collars I was almost ashamed to venture out into the street. I felt like I was but half dressed, and the feeling was not so far wrong at that. for the low collar does leave a good part of my anatomy open and above
 
 bother me now. I simply don't care at all Exposed neck Is a whole lot better than headaches, you know old chappy. I was speaking of headaches just now. That's what I wanted to tell you about. The high collar does something more than interfere with one's circulation. It scratches and irritates the skin, keeps ones chin at an unreasonable, uncom- fortable and unnatural angle. and causes one to acquire a nervous frigidity of habit
 When you meet your friend who Is in the habit of wearing a high collar pay particular attention to the way he moves and holds his head It isn't at all natural It is all due to the high collar Mark you, there are high collars and high collars. Some of them approach ra- tionalism in neck dress. Others are about as far from it as it is possible to get without engulfing the whole head But, of course. every fellow to his own liking in these matters. I wear low collars be- cause they are comfortable. and because believe the high collar is a producer of headaches. and bad thing for ones nerves generally"

SCHOOL JOURNAL OF A
 HARVARD MAN IN 177O

Just before Commons I went down town and saw man sit in ye Pillery for Forg- ery''-which perhaps made up for the neglected lecture. On the 18th he neither got up for prayers nor recited but went to Boston where he heard that there had been Mob concerning Tea, they did some damage to MT. Adamss house." Some days later he says, "wee hear from Boston vt ye Tea has arrived so long talked of which has occasioned an alarm among ye Inhabitants. I go to Boston & at Night I attend ye Meeting of the h. habitants and find them fully resolved vt ye tea shall be sent back" And on De- cember 15 he hears from Boston that there was Mob this Evening & the Vessels were borded and ye Tea hove overboard-huzzar-"
 In 1774 the old journal shows clearly how the growing rebellion of their eld- CTS against the King was reflected in the independent attitude of Harvard stu dents toward their tutors. In fact an unpopular tutor found It almost impos- sible to get his classes together. and one class actually met and voted not to spend any more time on the study ot Greek, the incipient rebellion being crushed only by the diplomacy of an
 
 tiranice Authority but by calm and mild Arguments" March IA he rode into Bos- ton in the omnipresent ''Sha" and saw four regiments of British soldiers just landed and making their camp on the Common. Then he went to the water front and saw the transports from which the troops had landed and watched three other transports coming up the harbor with yet another regiment Truly it Is no wonder that Sammy found little time to study, although he did find time to stop at his sisters for the gown she was mak- ing him to wear at Commencement. month later he reports hearing that there are ''30 cd Cannon" at Waltham chiefly brought there on scows from Boston. Then came the news from Boston in September that the soldiers were prepar- ing to march their Packs on their Backs & a Number of Boats this side of the |. Common. it much alarmed the people who have kept Watch all Night up the River expecting they were a going to Watertown to git the Cannon but they came from their Camp
 Later in the month we find him visit ing the entrenchments that were being thrown up in Boston. and within few days he had joined the Cambridge com- pany "to larn the exercises" On Friday "a powry day" the journal ends with an account of the hissing of two students who essayed to speak a dialogue against the proceedings of the Americans. Chand- Ter himself disappeared into civil life af- ter serving in the war. but the old journal still remains as a quaint picture of Har- yard and Boston in the days immediate- ly preceding the struggle for indepen- dence.

Washington. February 7.-complete in vestigation of the protests against sena- tor Reed Shoot retaining his seat in the United States senate will begin March ] before the committee on privileges and elections. The committee agreed to this date and Chairman Burrows was given unlimited power to summon witnesses and to apoint sub- committee to go to Utah to take tes- timony if such a course shall be found to be necessary. It was determined that the hearing of the cases shall be public.
 Former Representative R. W. Taylor has announced that it is the intention or his client to try the case as respects tue relations of the Mormon church to the United States government and the in- trusion of a great hierarchy into the polit- ical affairs of the nation.
 The witnesses to be summoned are for the most part members of the Mormon church. Among them are children al- legged to be the offspring of polygamous marriages contracted since the manifesto of 1890.

A New Kind of Indian.
.e Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 An Indian stopped in this city yesterday on his way to Omaha. He had been to London. participating in a Wild West melodrama there, and it was amusing to hear him discribe the ignorance regarding his race that exists in England.
 "An Englishman," he said. thinks that red Indian can run from POO to 225 miles day without effort. He thinks an Apache can overtake a deer. In fact l read in London short story describing how. in a tifteen-mile run. an Apache caught a deer, choked it to death and ate its heart raw.
 "The English believe that an Indian is so generous he would give away his clothes on his back I was tackled by hosts of beggers in London. and they couldn't understand why didn't hand out a half crown to each of them. They also think the Indian will endure the se- verest pain without finching out of pride A young English girl stuck pin in my leg in restaurant one night. and was surprised when I said Ouch and swore." {"

MAHOGANY FOR FUEL.
Costly Cargo Had to Be Burned When
 Coal Was Exhausted.

Norfolk, Va, February 7.-Battered by a fierce storm for three days on the voyage from Monagoane, Hayti, with every pound of coal in her bunckers con- sumed and burning portion of her valuable cargo for fuel, the German steamship Duncan raced into port at full speed in order to save the costly material with which her furnaces were being fed.
 Three days of bad weather off Hatteras took all the crafts coal, and then Cap tain Roseland began firing with mahog- any wood Over thirty tons was used. The cargo is mahogany consigned to New York.

Can't Defend Assassination.

The democrats think it will be almost too much luck to expect the republican side to again defend assassination but are preparing themselves to combat if the opportunity presents itself. It Is not unlikely that considerable proportion of the republican side agree with the demo- crats as to Durbin's unlawful attitude in the Taylor case. It can be set down as reasonably certain that such men as Lit tlefield of Maine, would not be placed in an attitude of sustaining Durbin's posi- tion and that the James bill on extradi- ton now pending in the judiciary com mittee will not receive a solid republican opposition vote. though of course it's pas sage in a republican partisan house Is not to be expected.

 Golfers do not care any longer to be la- belled as such, and to carry about with them a sort of trademark which specifics definitely the form of amusement in which they indulge. Hence the tendency of the red coat has been to disappear. and 1t is only found upon the backs of those who think they are conforming to the old cus- toms of the game, or of individuals who have bought one of the uniforms. and has not yet had time to wear it out

 place where this Is more freely admitted than on the republican side of the cham Der.
 Under the leadership of Representative Williams of Mississippi who seems to have accomplished what was thought to be an impossibility and enforced some de- gree of discipline, the minority side has won several important victories and placed the republicans on the defensive. In the last two big debates the mileage steal led by Underwood of Alabama, and the Goebel controversy led by James of Kentucky, the republican side was badly worsted. In this connection 1t is reported that the republicans are going to try to redeem themselves on the Goebel debate by putting forward Landis of Indiana, one of their best debaters to defend Governor Durbin, who badly needs some kind of defense on the floor

It is proper to add that the figures of exports to Asia and Oceania are slightly misleading, in view of the fact that ship ments from the United States to Hawaii, which m 1893 were classed as exports, are not so included at the present time, because of the fact that Hawaii is now customs district of the United States and the shipments to Hawaii are no long CT included in the table of exports to foreign countries. If the shipments to Hawaii in 1903 were included, the total exports from the United States to Asia and Oceania would be $104, 900 In 1903, instead of $92, 100000, thus making the real percentage of increase to Asia and Oceania 235 per cent
 On the import side, imports into the United States from Europe show growth from $392 900 in 1893 to s52S, ,000, 900 in 1903, or 35 per cent; from North America, from $171,000,00O to slS2,000,000, or ' per cent; from South America, from $1O3,O 100000 to $113,oO0,o00, or per cent; from Asia and Oceania, from $102.0000 000 to 161. 100000. or 5S per cent. and from Africa. from $4.oO00OO to sl1,oOo,OOO, or 175 per cent; while the total imports show a growth from s776OO0,OOO in 1893 to s995,0o0- 900 in 1903, or 2S per cent of increase.
