acy, or perhaps the impending mo-
ments of revolution.
Then came the loud sounds of a
bell. and the men broke cover. ap-
pearing from everywhere, and ran
pell nell like school boys towards
the hidden bell. Thence issued
sounds like roll call, and presently
the singing began, punctuated as be-
fore with the dull thud. This per-
Torrance continued throughout the
day. When the sun came out and
the mud had dried somewhat, it was
possible 10 investigate further these
mysterious movements and sounds.
1t appeared that they were building
the mud foundations Of house. A
derrick was raised and in the center
was pile driver. To it was attached
a number Of ropes like those of May
pole. At the end of each rope was a
man, and man singing Justify. As
the song proceeded. the heavy pile
was raised, and when a certain zip
in the song was reached, down came
the pile on the mud beneath, pressing
it fiat. The movement of the derrick
always waited for the song, and a
the rate it was proceeding the house
might be finished some time in the re
mote future, especially as the moment
the boss, foreman, or whatever he
might be, had walked away, the mer
ran and hid as before.
Odd Way of Handling Shovel.
In another part of the grounds
group of men were digging a drain
The shovel is a Western innovation il

to wear the tall hat and hair band,
which in Korea are the badges OF
manhood. For centuries they had
been faithful in executing the saeri-
fees gratis, yet these things had been
forbidden them. They could bear the
extortions of the yang ban, who
bought without paying, but they could
not put up with 'low talk" from boys
three feet high, which, without the tall
hat, they must submit to. A boy in
Korea is a boy until he IS married, but
low talk" from little boys was insup-
portable.
The point OF this IS that while the
Orientals are absolutely destitute Of
@cuss words" they have various sorts
OF talk" which may be addressed as
the case may be. Low talk means
the language any one might use to
beasts. Thus, in Japan no word. OF
greater indignity can be used than
"omae," which means simply you.
Buf it is the you that might be used
to a cur.
The Empcror's brief reply was that
the appeal was granted, but the BUTCH
ers were warned by their paternal
ruler that they must not put on airs III
consequence The butchers wore
their tall hats not only by day, but
slept in them.
The position Of the butchers can be
traced back TO the days of Courteous,
who is only less powerful in Korea
than in China Since men cannot
listen to the dying cries of animals, all
the noble and wise will agree that
slaughter houses should be far from
the dwellings of men," said the sage.
This remoteness inevitably extended
to those who executed the animals,
An interesting feature of mercantile
Korea is the men who vend pearls
The pearl vendor is usually elderly
and. as the rest of Korea, is in dirty
white clothes, which he nysteriously
keeps on him without the aid of q

tables, bookcases and other articles of
furniture are better done in conver-
tional designs, or in Renaissance
scrolls and acanthus leaf develop
ment, while picture frames, boxes and
bowls are equally effective in natural
flowers and leaves. Beautiful effects
in dark patterns on a light background
are obtained with ferns, palms, pine,
spruce, hemlock and larch branches,
with their cones. These are particu-
larly suited to the California redwood.
In working, move the pencil from
left to right as much as possible, so
that the design is at the left of the
point This helps to keep the lines
firm and clear Let the outlines be
clean cut and even in conventional
pattern, and broken and sketchy in
the natural ones. Bits Of landscape,
such as log cabins, tail trees and
glimpses of woodland, are charming

after its affairs.

guild, at war with the magistracy Tor
its petty exactions, and with the yang
ban, or upper class, is devoted to the
Emperor and his service. At any time
and for any purpose he calls upon
them. and suddenly a band appears
as if the members had sprung out OF
the ground to execute whatever he
MAY desire. Many from the remote
mountainous districts look like wild
men, or banditti, but they are faithful
and NAV be absolutely relied upon.
OF the seven despised trades, the
first, ctiriously enough, is that of the
sheriff. who catches and Furnishes
men. The second is that of the stroll
| ing player. The third is the butcher,
who kills and gives pain to animals.
The fourth is the basket maker, who
skins, and, for all anyone knows. gives
pain to the tree. The fifth is that of
the sorcerer, the sixth the gesang, or
singing girl, who, like the sorcerer and
! the bufoon, ministers to the more
depraved traits. The seventies that
of the shoemaker, who handles the
skin of dead animals. Nevertheless,
these trades are hereditary, and those
who practise them manage to put UP
with the contumely.

Simple, Unambitious Burnt Wood
Designs for the Beginner.
For the beginner, there are simpler
and less ambitious designs in great
variety. Perhaps the most popular Of
the white wood patterns are those
having dark background with the
design left light, while very rich and
beautiful are those of California red
wood, the design burned dark and the
background of the soft-toned redwood
itself.
