Angus Hamilton in his new book on Corea says: Inhabitants are peculiarly proficient in the art of doing nothing gracefully. There is, therefore, infin- ite charm and variety in the daily life of Corea. The natives take their pleas ures passively, and their constitutional incapacity makes it appear as if there were little to do but to indulge in a gentle stroll in the brilliant sunshine or to sit cross-legged within the shades of their houses. Inaction becomes them; nothing could be more unsuited to the character of their peculiar costume than vigorous movement. The stolid dignity of their appearance and their stately de1neanor add vastly to the pie turesqueness of the street scenes. The white-coated, white -trousered, white socked, slowly striding population is ir- resistibly fascinating to the eye.

The Snake Indians have decided to leave the Indian Territory. which has been their home for half century, and on the 25th of April will hold a conven- ton, at which will be selected three delegates to go to old Mexico to look out 8 location for the band. They have been told that they can find there for the taking a hunting ground that will suit thin fancy, and will not in this generation or the next be encroached upon by the whites. This movement is headed by Thobe Berryhill, and he will be one of the delegates. The Snake band has resisted allotment to the last, and now that they have been forced to take arbitrary allotment they threaten to leave the land given them by the government and go in body to new home There are about two hundred of the Snake band who will still swear allegiance to their old-time leader.

A smoke washing device is said to be in successful use in London, which does away with the necessity for chim- neys, as it produces the amount of draft required for complete combustion, and expels from the smoke it's noxious properties. It consists of an electrical ly driven fan, which draws the smoke from the fire and passes it into stream of water, which extracts the sulphurous and unconsumed particles.
 It works automatically. and only re- quires that the water in it's lower part should be changed at regular intervals.

The work of taking the latest census in the Indian Empire embraced for the first time the Bhil country, in Rajpu- tana, the scattered island settlements of the wild Nicobarese and Andananese and outlying tracts on the confines Of Burma, the Puniab and Kashnir. The population throughout the empire was 294, ,S61. .O56, of whom 281. .S99.5O7 were ill British territory. The enumeration brought to light tribe hitherto un- known, the Tabo of the North Anda- mans. concerning whom it is stated. in explanation of their small numbers, that when a contagious disease appear ed among them they proceeded to kill all those who were attacked until very few of the tribe were left.
