KOREAN LAWS AND PEOPLE
View of the Prize of Russia-Japanese
War.
Worlds Work.

Under the title of Korea, Japan
and Russia" Robert e. Speer gives
a frst-hand view Of Korea, the prize
Of the far eastern war. Among other
things he says: AS for the people,
their characteristics, on the whole,
are very good. They have been OPP
pressed by officials who bought the
privilege Of taxation, who knew that
they would be soon superseded by
some new purchaser, and made hay
while the sun shone by squeezing out
every possible dollar. They are an
easy going people and they have their
faults. We were discussing once, in
the home of an American doctor iv-
ing in Korea, the predominant traits
of Korean character. My travelling
companion at once said: Stocking,
trousers and hat" These are con-
spicuous in the eyes of stranger. But
the doctor said seriously: First, in
directness, representation in coming
at things; second, the desire for. sons
to perform the duties of flial worship;
third, taking things easy, troubles and
all; fourth, the sense of the ridiculous
the humorous; fifth, cheerfulness.'

They are not a dull, stupid people, as
the japanese think. Indeed, their own
history should teach the japanese bet
ter. Much of their early civilization,
the culture Of silk-worms, architec-
ture, mathematics, medicine, astron-
omy, and much else besides, the price,
less secrets Of ceramics, the japanese
borrowed from Korea. From the
tombs Of early Korean kings the most
exquisite gray pottery Is still taken.
In 1900 the imports Of Korea were
little more than s5,000,000. The ex-.
ports Of merchandise were about
$9,500,000, and there were exports Of
gold of about s1,S00,000. The chief
article OF import is cotton goods, main
" from Japan, and the chief articles
Of export are rice, beans and ginseng.
Ginseng was the first commodity Of
trade between the United States and

eighteenth century carrying 1t from
Albany to Canton. whence 1t was
shipped via Peking to Korea.

carries no great treasure, whereas the
doughty buccaneer is wroth. He goes from

young girl, whose patrieian lips curl with
scorn. Taken aback, he essays a courtly
bow, such as was practiced by Captain
Kidd and others; but the unfamiliar sur

The Sun also bought two handsome
engines, one Of which. the Grace Rey-

TO be the finest specimen of an old
fashioned engine IN the Union.
Several New Houses
During this period several Kew en-
CINE houses were built, so that when the
Confederate war occurred the Relief was
located IN Prince Street, the Sun In Fair
fax Street the Hydraulion in Royal
Street. the Friendship IN Alfred Street,
and the Star in St. Asaph Street Many
OF the Alexandria firemen went into the
Confederate service sever to return.
The Union soldiers. who occupied the
city, worked the hand engines for a
while, and then the military authorities
brought to Alexandria the steam FIRE en-
CINE United States and the steam fire
engine Potomac. These engines were
run by the military. and the old volun-
teer firemen remaining in Alexandra
formed the United Fire ASSOCIATION and
used the hand engines that remained
After the war was over the city council
bought the Potomac steam engine and
placed it here in charge of the Hydrau-
lion.
Another steamer was purchased and
placed IN charge Of the Columbia COM

chased and put in Charge OF the Relief.

Gus, but they are never so bad that .
swimmer can't take care OF himself
Swimmers with any kind OF ability
ought 20 be able to swim any reasonable
distance with any kind of a cramp. The
ones who are not good swimmers should
always hug the shore and never take
chances.
Attacked by a Crsmp.
Cramps are brought on by swimming.
So when you feel one coming on stop
using the leg or arm where 1t Is iocat-
ed. II you turn on your back and float
a while that viii give the cramp q
chance to go away, but even II II doesn't
It won't prevent you from swimming
slowly and getting to shore.
Most people think q cramp spreads
gradually until It goes all over the body
from little cramp In the toe. This isn't
so. It is always confined to the leg or
arm, where II starts. This Is proved BY
the fact that IL goes away when you quit
using the leg or arm.
ct have never yet bear in a swimming
race for long distance that haven't
had cramp in leg or arm. I got ore
in my right leg one time so bad that the
leg locked at the kneejoint every time I
made a kick. Yet not only finished
the race, but won It.
No Stomach Cramp.
whenever you hear cramp stories
some one is sure to mention stomach
cramps. They are supposed to be the
most dangerous kind. You hear where
people are doubled up like a jacknife and
then sink like a stone. Now, as mat
ter OF fact, in ell my experience I never
had a stomach craTnp or saw a person
with one.
IF they ever happen, they have kept
out of my sight. And I cont believe
there is such thing. This is another
fairy story that has been told until
everybody believes Ii. So that when
fellow in swimming gets little pain In
the stomach he at once imagines he has
stomach cramps. and that he's goner.
and will at once yell for help or do
something foolish.
It's nearly always the poor swimmer
who gets in trouble. for he IS the one to
take the greatest chances. Good SWIM
mers always travel in pairs, so they can
aid one another in case of trouble.
You often see the head or one OF
these Door swimmers bobbing about way
on shore although we try our best 20
keep them in, and when one OF them
gets into trouble ne is usually so far
out that he is gone before we can get
at him"

Bought a Hydraulion.
The city council purchased a compan-
ion 'hydraulion." and il was intended
that these powerful engines should in
time of fire be located either at the river
or some water source. so that they could
suck water and give continuous stream
to the other engines which would play
upon the flames a snort distance from
the burning buildings.
This plan, however did not work, and
both hydraulions were converted into
spouting engines and did good service at
many fires until about 1850, when the
Hydraulion sold its old apparatus and
bought a handsome little spouting en-
CINE from Simpson, OF Baltimore.

Pointers for the Average Bather

Now that the swimming season is
fairly under way" said a veteran life
saver. lit may not be a bad idea 10
give a few pointers to the average bath
er that may come in useful TO him some
time or other
THE first piece of advice I would
give is: Don't go far from shore. SWIM
ming Is one Of the hardest exercises in
the world, and man must be well used
to It. No matter whether he is as fit as
a fiddle to run five-mile race in rec
ord time. let him be careful how far he
tries TO swim.
Every muscle is used when a man is
swimming. many of them that are new
er brought into play in any other way.
This is the main reason WHY so many
fellows get into trouble every year.
Weary in the Water.
They feel good and strong, and when
they get into the water they swim and
swim until they get tired. Then when
they try to swim back again their
strength plays out. and il help isn't
nearby they get ratified. The next day
the newspapers have another account
of An Expert Swimmer Drowned
Getting ratified Is another thing to
guard against Nine times out OF ten
this has more 70 do with people get
ting into trouble than anything else.
Whatever you do or wherever you are.
keep cool-keep your nerve. A man can
stay ahoat a long time II he won't get
ratified, no matter what's the trouble
with him
Danger in the "Sea PuSs"
There's a spot just off Norton's Point
where you can't make Roadway in one
direction or the other. II you are
caught in there with a boat you can't
pull out, so you can have an idea of
what kind of work a swimmer has cut
out for him. There is only one thing TO
do. and that is 10 keep cool and quiet
and after a while the current will carry
you out but you can't get out by swim
ming That Is what We call sea puss-
In a race had once some years ago
/ from the Battery 10 Coney Island l got
caught in this place. I knew II the
minute l reached It. so I didn't try to
swim. but turned over on my back and
| foated.
In the course Of a few minutes l was
whirled out, and went on and won my
race. Now, an inexperienced swimmer
would have got ratified. made big ef-
forts to get out, and finally have tired
himself out and sunk.
No Fear of Cramps.
Don't be afraid of cramps is another
thing that all swimmers should remem-
/ Der There has been so much said and
written about cramps that people are
scared TO death when they feel a Iittlt
cramp coming on in a toe or hand. Their

Washington Took Hold
In the last year Of Washington's life,
as stated by the late James NJ Stewart,
who owned the building now occupied
by Balm. NJ the southwest corner or
King and Royal Streets. a fire occurred
near the market as Washington was
riding down King Street followed by
his servant. also on horseback. He saw
the engine poorly manned near the
Royal Street corner. Riding up TO a
group OF Well-dressed gentlemen near by
he called out:
why are you idle there gentlemen?
1t is your duty to lead in these matters. -
and throwing the bride of his horse
TO his servant he leaped off and seized
the brakes, followed by a crowd that
gave the engine such a shaking up as
IL had never before received. This en-
CINE was probably the second which the
company purchased.
The first house Of the Friendship was
built in liza at the west end Of the then
open market under where the town
clock now stands. 1t was a mere shed
and cost only about go The Friendship
afterward moved TO a point in King
Street near Columbus Street and there
having united with the Crescent Com
pany built a house which was after
ward removed TO Alfred Street and par
TALLY burned there many years after
ward, The burned house was sue
oeeded by the present building which
the Friendship Company occupies.
The present Friendship Company is
composed of many old gentlemen. OF
which Capt. James Webster IS the chief
but has lately added many young men
whose handsome firemen's uniform will
make part of the present fremens dis
play.
