vIxENIsH WOMEN OF coREA.
Ever Ready to Slap Handful Of Stars
INTO Eyes Of Husbands
or Tourists.

The women OF the commonalty are
voluble and vixenish, and ever ready to
slap handful of stars into the eyes OF
a husband--or into those of timid and
shrinking tourist--should the occasion
arise, says Outing. The women of the
upper class are vigorously excluded
from masculine eyes and a hearty vote
of thanks is due the committee who
fathered this unwritten law. The dainty
little Japanese musmee, lettering along
in sandals or on wooden geta, is genu-
Inc relief to the eye after a view of the
uncomely Corean female, and 1t is q
pleasing reflection that Nippon is slow
ly but surely spreading her standard
over the hermit realm.
Until Corean boys are married and
acquire the pseudo dignity OF the top
knot, their hair is worn girl fashion in
twin plaits down their backs So much
do they resemble girls that It is some
times difficult to determine the sex, and
one is oftentimes uncommonly surprised
to observe what he is positive are two
girls sprawling and viciousIy lighting in
Corean street.

DISEASE NEEDS WATCHING.
Whooping Cough Not Simple Little
Affair Many Nearly
as Fatal as Scarlet Fever.

Eliza III. Root calls attention, says the
Woman's Medical Journal, to the fact
that this disease is too little dreaded by
the medical profession and that it is by
no means the simple affair that many
seem to suppose.
From the United States census of 1900
we find that 663 died in New York from
whooping cough and $40 from scarlet
fever. In Chicago 141 died from whoop-
ing cough and 373 from scarlet fever;
Philadelphia, 179 from whooping cough,
1872 from scarlet fever, and so on in the
different cities. Death from whooping
cough occurs most frequently from
pneumonia as complication that in
duces heart failure, or bronchitis may
occur that ends in suffocation. Asphyxia
or marasmus due to the continued eject
ing of the food or loss of appetite may
cause death.
Even when death does not occur, Sc
we're disturbance of the nervous system
may remain, as weakness of the intel
lect and memory, imbecility. Visual de-
fects, strabismus, blindness and deaf
ness, partial or complete, and even deaf
mutism may remain Whooping cough,
It is evident, should be under the con-
troll of health authorities. subject to
quarantine and other preventive meas
ures as much as scarlet fever.

WE'D ON WHOLESALE PLAN.
All Marriages in Brittany Towns Are
Celebrated on Given Day
in the Year.

Rebellion would convulse any state
In America II the law or custom should
order that all marriages should be
solemnized together on one particular
day in the year.
Such Is the strange rule in that queer
section of Brittany near Brest, where
stand the little towns of Plougastel
and Daoulus. Besides, the young wom-
en- of this section know nothing Of the
joys and the heartpangs of courtship.
The inhabitants seem to be either OF
Spanish or Asiatic origin. In each viii
lage is a matchmaker. called the
l"bastalaine," who arranges marriages.
He needs only the approval of the par
ents Of the parties most interested.
The marriages being arranged. all the
brides, however unwilling, and all the
bridegrooms. however unhappy, meet
at the church door, the women fiocking
on one side. the men on the other.
The brides and bridegrooms join each
other before the altar In turn.
After the wholesale wedding there is
a common banquet, which 1900 guests
attended this year, coming from all the
countryside.

NO DAY orr" FOR A JUDGE.
Barristers in Great Britain Can Apply
for Injunctions at Any Time
and Place.

Illustrating the proposition that a
judge never puts aside his judgeship, the
Westminster Gazette has the following:
Yesterday Mr.. Justice Bucknill was
surprised on the links by barrister who
presented an urgent request for GER
tain Injunction. His lordship suspended
his game, and after due consideration of
the facts made the order, which was at
once telegraphed to Cardiff, and no
doubt took effect the same afternoon
'On another occasion a barrister on
a similar quest is rumored to have found
his quarry bathing at Brighton With a
commendahle devotion to his client in
teTests, he hired the next bathing ma
chine and rapidly Joined the Judge in the
water. The judges surprise at being
suddenly accosted in the well-known
formula, 4 have an application to make,
my lord, in very urgent matter, may
be imagined. The law sometimes atones
for its proverbial delay by these light
ming injunetions"

MAKING or ORIENTAL RUGS.
American Taste Now Dominates the
Output Or Artistic Product That
Is Centuries Old.

From an artistic point OF view It
may seem absurd, but 1t is nevertheless
true that American taste dominates the
output OF Turkish rugs said q man who
has made B study OF these beautiful
products OF the orient, to Philadelphia
Record reporter. ANY importer will
bear me out In this. OF course. inasmuch
rs the Armenians and Turks who make
these rugs have no power looms on
which TO reproduce exact copies. II
would seem ridiculous to suppose that
more than one rug Of the same pattern
and design could be turned out. But the
american dealer has learned to know
pretty much what sort Of rug appeals
70 the American buyer, and he says to
his agent on the other side: Make me
lot OF rugs that look as much like this
as possible So the native weavers. on
their hand looms, do their best to copy
the colors OF q special design that is put
before them. This handicaps them, for
these untutored artisans have their own
ideals, Just as painter of pictures has.
and 1t Is CALLING to be thus restricted. 1t
Is also not very gratifying to realize that
the rich American, who is often the par
yenu, with no idea of art, should dictate
the output OF an artistic product that is
centuries old. But the rich American is
the greatest buyer of oriental rugs, and
must be considered"

BLOOD IN THE BEARINGS.
Hindoo Thieves Would Not Steal the
"Doctored' Oil Used in Amer
lean Machinery.

The prejudice against blood that is
q part of the religion OF the Hindoos
has been made to serve q useful Dur-
pose. When the American engineers
were building an electric power sta
ton in the Mysore territory in SOUTH
ern India they found that something
was wrong with the fabrication of the
machinery. The oil disappeared They
discovered that Hindoo must. by his
religion, take q periodical bath ia oil.
The wnrkmen had drained the bear
ings for bathing purposes.
How to stop the thieving was a puz-
cling problem until some one solved it.
The Hindoo does not eat meat and
he will not touch anything that has
blood In it. Two or three animals
were killed. therefore, and blood was
dripped into the bearings. There was
no more stealing OF oil, however many
other things we're stolen,

Hoodoo Which Seems to Attach to
Line Of tsFated Succession''---Bad
Luck Follows Them.

John T. ingalls, 'fated succession'

present trouble in which Senator
Burton finds himself The brilliant
Atchison statesman so designated the
line of Kansas United States senator's
that started out with Gen. James H.
Lane
Those in the ..fated succession, !"
says the Topeka Capital. we're James
II. Lane, Edward q. Ross, Robert
Crozier, Alexander Caldwell, James
M. Harvey, Preston B. Plumb, Bish-
op X Perkins. John Martin, Lucien
Baker and the present Senator J.
Ralph Burton. Lane committed sui
eide. Ross committed political sui
eide by voting against the impeach-
ment of Andrew johnson, and was
driven out of his party. Crozier,
who served about a year by appoint
ment, died without leaving single
mark by which his brief senatorial
career can be remembered. Caldwell
resigned after two years service to
escape Investigation
Harvey, although he had been
governor of his state and had made
a fairly good reputation as such,
made very Insignificant senator, and
was, after three years service. defeat
ed for reelection and dropped out OF
political life. Plumb died in Office
at Washington. Perkins served a
brief term by appointment and is
scarcely remembered as senator.
Martin served two years, and left the
senate poorer in purse and with less
prestige than he possessed when he
went in. Baker was almost total
failure, and his crushing defeat for
reelection at the hands Of Burton IS
still warm in the memory of the peo-
pie Of Kansas.

me Sash and Door FACTORY.

The sash and door factory, which
has been under construction only a
few months, is now nearly completed,
together with its dry kiln, and is one
of the largest most complete and up
to-date sash and door factories in the
United States.
The main mill, in dimensions, is
S0x176 feet, and has a capacity of
about 500 doors and 250 windows per
day, besides mouldings, turnings,
band saving, etc. The kilns which be-
long to this mill are each 20x2OO feet,
and are capable of drying at least
100, 900 feet at one time.
The kilns are to be compared with
any in the state, and possess many ad-
vantages over any in, the West, so ex-
perts say.
In these kilns there is about 21h
miles of Ia inch pipe, and it is so ar
ranged that all water cohdensing in
the pipes in the kiln is conducted
back to the boiler by the use OF hot
water pumps. This is great saving
in fuel for the engines. The steam
for the plant is supplied by two tubu-
lar boilers 16x6O, with a $50 horse
power engine, which has a solid rock
foundation, which had been purposely
selected upon, thus making it run
without the least jar. In fact, every
thing in the mill is of the most mod
ern type so that the most choice
work may be done. There are in all
over 40 machines of the latest pattern
used in the work. The white cedar
grown in this country is said to be the
finest in the world for mouldings and
