limited population (216,615 people,.
The Canadians would have these lands
studied, their resources made known,
and inviting terms offered settlers.
Lying in the temperate zone, a climate
suitable for the white colonist, it does
appear as though here were an open
ing for the overcrowded in the home
land, and virgin soil to be enriched
and cultivated for producing for che
home markets. The coasts are rugged.
but along the numerous lakes and wa
ter courses of the interior there is
good land, and in some places land

boasts population of about 10000;
and other centers are Harbor Grace

(3,542), and Bonavista (3,696).
Newfoundland is one OF the great
fishing headquarters of the world. The
staple product is cod, which tonsti-
tutes fve-eighths Of the islands ex-
port and employs three-quarters Of its
population. The seal fisheries, also,
are very important; the value of the
seal catch for 1901 was $425,255.s The
island recently has begun to search
the ground for minerals, AZ well rs the
waters for fish, and the year 1901 the

HO7u Koreans Dress.

1t is only the lower class Of Koreans
whose garments are dirty. The better
class Korean wears an attire the i'm
maculate cleanliness of which is prob
ably unexcelled anywhere on earth. 1t
is certainly the quaintest in the Orient,
and as its owner invariably swings
along with a supercilious swagger, as
if he and he alone were the owner of
the street and all he surveyed besides,
the incongruity of his manly gait con-
trasted with his exceedingly effeminate
dress is a thing which must be seen to
be appreciated. He is clothed in white
from head TO foot, the white being
sometimes varied by cream-coIored silk,
every garment being of spotless clean
illness. He wears the baggiest of baggy
breeches. tightened just above the an
kles, and his padded white socks are
partially inclosed in white and black
cloth sandals. He wears-in summer-a
silk or grass cloth coat of gauzy tex
ture, which is frightened under the arm
pits and spreads loosely from there
downward, and, being stiffiy laundered,
sticks out in a ridiculous manner all
around his legs like starched frock
Of little child. On his head he wears a
hat not unlike that formerly worn by
Welsh isherwomen, only the crown is
not so high. The hat is black and
glossy, and a close inspection of that
of a yangban (aristocrat) showed that
il was made Of finely woven silk and
bamboo in an open mesh that resent
bled crinoline, while those worn by the
less prosperous are made of horse hair.
The truncated cone does not fit the
head, but perches jauntily on top of it.
At its base is a round brim about four
inches wide, and the whole is kept in
place by a black cord or band tied
under the chin. The office of this pecu-
liar capillary attire is not alone to pro-
tect the head from the weather. but
10 form a receptacle for an equally
curiously shaped skull cap, which in
turn contains the topknot. This hat is
worn on all occasions, both on the
street and in the house, and its gauzy
construction enables the topknot to be
plainly seen within its airy walls

Il Hisard.

In the belief that he possessed the
supernatural power to cause rain or
sunshine at his pleasure, the man re-
moved his shoes, coat and vest, and
by making good imitation of wind
mill of his arms attracted quite crowd
about him. Just then a meddlesome
police officer hove in sight and had the
man removed to the detention hospital
for the insane at the City Hall. An ex-
animation of his effects brought forth
a conglomerate assortment of odds and
ends. Among these were two small
phals of oily matter, said by him to
be the oil of green snakes captured in
the garden of Eden, which possessed
supernatural power when placed in the
hands of divinely gifted person, such
as he himself. In the soles of his shoes
he had a layer of red sand which he
claimed came from the site upon which
stood King Solomon's temple. One
grain Of this sand when thrown in a
certain direction would produce rain or
drought at the will of him so gifted.
To confirm the poor demented crea-
tures notions of his power it COM
menced to rain just at the time of his
capture. This omen of supernatural
power excited him to the condition in
which he was found He is now max

His Only Desire.

The face that peeked out of the small
wicket in the door of the cell reserved
at the Central Emergency Hospital for
youngsters destined for the Juvenile
Court was as black as the ace of
spades. 1t was the face of a boy about
ten years of age. The whites of his
eyes appeared to be the color of snow,
so great was the contrast, and the
great big even white teeth shone
forth like a row of pearls on a piece
of black cloth. 1t was a happy go
lucky face, and it's owner, though
dressed in rags, and shoeless and
stockingless, gave every evidence that
it did not belle him.
'Hullo, boss" he would say, with a
merry laugh, to those who, in passing
the wicket, would stop and look at the
''pickaninny." Such a CHEEKY remark
would naturally call forth an equally
cheerful response. and then, the ice
broken, the urchin would poke his
black, shiny face up to the wicket.
Say, boss" he would then invari-
ably say, "any chance to get fellow
some doughnuts?"

Clothes and the Man.

"Why, old man, you look as if you
had gone through a hard campaign in
China with that same blessed old coat
on that YOU used to wear back at col
lege." The red-faced, sleekly dressed
man clapped the little minister on the
back and roared his greeting heartily
enough after three years separation.
The man of the cloth looked down on
his greeny- black coat, tightly buttoned
up to the throat so that the lack of a
shirt underneath would not be mani
fest; he tucked back out of sight one
frayed cuff that had slipped down the
bare wrist, then he laughed a little un-
easily.

the plant called diOOn, which belongs

plant life to the missing link in the
Darwinian theory of evolution.
DIR. Chamberlain has just returned

two of the flowers of the dioon. By

that the dioon was on the earth as far

some plants of the species have been
growing continually ever since.

Order Of he Golden Kite.

The reports of the bestowing of the
Order of the Golden Kite on japanese
officers for conspicuous gallantry read
rather quantity, sandwiched as they
generally are between items of news
which show how very much abreast of
the times and Western ideas is the
Land of the Rising Sun. Still, they
serve to recall what a very large role
kite-fiying plays in the life Of the East.
According to ancient Chinese records
the first kite was invented about zoo
b. c., and since that date the national
pastime has advanced to very fine art
indeed. Perhaps the most ingenious
and wonderful kite is that which was
recently acquired by museum of na-
tural history in America, which meas
ured from head to tail no less than
forty feet, and was made to fold up
accordion-like The front of this kite
represented the fierce, large head of the
famous dragon of Chinese mythology,
with its huge eyes, gaping mouth and
long, prOtruding horns The eyes were
in themselves work of genius. They
were contrived from a series of bamboo
sticks run crosswise, to the center of
which pasteboard disks, painted in cir
cles of black, red, yellow and white.
and measuring a foot or more in diam
eter, were fastened. BY simple me-
chanical contrivance these pieces of
pasteboard revolved by the action Of
the wind while the kite was being flown.
