A HORNED PEOPLE.

Queer Race That Lives Near the Chi
nese Prefecture OF ChienchanE.
Adjoining the Chinese prefecture of
Chienchang is a deep gully barred by
d river which no Chinaman is permit
ted to pass until he finds bail for his
good conduct in Lolodom.
The Lolos are slim, we'll made,
muscular race with oval reddish brown
faces, high cheek bones and pointed
chins. from which the beard has been
carefully plucked. They are far taller
than the Chinese and indeed than any
European race. but their marked pc
culiarity is the horn. Every male
adult gathers his hair in a knot over
his forehead and then twists it up in
cotton cloth so that it resembles the
horn of unicorn
This horn is considered sacred, and
even if a Lolo settles in Chinese terri
tory and grows pigtail he still pre-
serves his horn. The Lolo mans prin-
cipal garment is wide sleeveless man.
tie of red or black felt tied about the
neck and descending almost to the
heels. The trousers are of Chinese
cotton with felt bandages. No shoes
are worn. but q conical hat OF woven
bamboo covered with felt furnishes a
head covering as well as an umbrella.
The Chinese divide the Lolos into
two classes, which they call respective
IL BLACK Bones" and white Bones,"
the first being the mobiles and the latter
their vaSsals and retainerS. There is
also a third class of captive Chinese
and their descendants, called "WatZu,"
practically slaves, who are tattooed on
the forehead with the mark of their
tribe.
The Lolos never marry except in
their own tribes, captive Chinese wom-
en- being given to their bondsmen. The
marriage of a Black Bone Is time of
great festivities and many banquets.
The betrothal is celebrated and ratified
by the present of the husband to the
brides family of pig and three YES
sells of wine.
On the wedding morn the bride is
richly dressed with many ornaments.
She is expected to weep profusely
whether she feels so inclined or not
In the midst of her tears the groom's
relatives and friends dash in, seize the
bride, the best man carries her out OF
doors on his shoulders, she is clapped
on a horse and hurried off to her new
home Here she finds horses, cattle
and sheep, provided by the groom''

North md sonth Korea,

In the northern part Korea is COW
cred with transverse mountain ranges
which gradually sink to well marked
lowland. The principal mountains,
however, occur on the side of the sea
of Japan. The rocks Of the country are
chiefly old rmations-archaean and
Palaeozoic. The easiest passage across
the peninsula is along the DEPRESSION
of Chyukkaryong. South OF this line
lies the "Hanland" (south Korea),
which differs in history, climate. topog-
raphy and people from north Korea.

NELSON'S FIGHTING MEN.
Had Few Pleasures and Faced Death
With a lest.

With Jest.
OF the wooden walls of England"
the great sailing ships in which Admi-
raj Nelson won his victories, and of the
men who worked them, critic writes:
Though beautiful to behold and terri
BILE to fight with, those old men-of-war
were more often than not abodes of
tyranny and wretchedness. The yio-
lence of the press gangs, which seized
men of all ages and occupations. was
but a prelude to the oppression that
followed. Decent men were herded in
discriminatory with rutfians, the rights
of free born Englishmen were rudely
snatched from them-fOr them thence
forward there was no law save the
will of the captain and the dread arti-
Giles of war. Shore going leave was
noneXistent, the food was atrOcious
and scanty, punishments We're barbar-
Gus, and the only thing served out with
any liberality was rum, on which the
men got drunk and then were fiogged
for that offense at the gratings next
morning.
In Nelson's time the seaman had
few pleasures save the prospect of a
hot fight and his daily pint of rum.
But to these must be added the vain
glorious satisfaction he took in his
clothes. When rigged out in his best
he frequently wore rings in his ears and
silver buckles on his low shoes, his
short blue jacket would be decorated
with gold buttons and cOlored ribbons
sewed down the seams to give an addi-
tional gayety, his waistcoat might be
red or canary, and a black silk hand
kerchief would be knOtted loosely
round his throat AS the finishing
touch his hair would be hanging in a
cue down his back. The broad collars
were first worn as protection against
the grease and pomatum used in dress
ing the pigtail.
But all these fripperies were dis
carded when the guns were cast loose
from their lashings and the linstocks
We're lighted. 1t was the custom of the
men when going into action to strip tC
the waist. They took their black sill
nandkerchlefS and bound them very
tightly round their heads over theil
ears, so that the roar Of the guns nigh
not deafen them for life. 1t was re
marked that men going into action al
ways wore sullen frOwn, howeve
merry they We're in their talk.
Methods followed in that day wer
curiOusly primitive and tOilsome, bu
the results were undoubtedly satisfaC
tory save to the nameless and number
less sailors who met grim death on tn
black and blood stained decks or in tn
dark horror of the cockpit. That thOs
hardy and careless men often face
death or disablement with a jest or
cheer only renders their unconsciou
heroism the more impressive "-Chics

The Arab steed.

An Arab steed Of pure breed would
probably be outpaced in race by an
English thoroughbred, but in other re
spects it outshines its western rival.
1t is so docile that it is treated by it's
owner as one of the family, and it has
an iron constitution, for it sleeps out
at night without covering or shelter.
Nature protects the Arab horse with
a thick, furry coat, which is never

been shaggy as those Of bear, again

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
Keeps Your Teeth Perfect
"New Method Dental ParlOrs Crowded
by Eager Wilmington Citizens.

Hundreds of residents of Wilmington and
vicinity, including many leaders OF social,
business and professional circles, have been
taking quick advantage of the offer of the
NEW METHOD" dental parlors, 610A
Market street. to keep their teeth in perfect
condition for year for one dollar.
The new proposition was offered to the
public few weeks ago, and since then the
NEW METHOD" parlOrs have been
crowded Oy eager clients of all classes. On
several days the number of visitors from
the surrounding country was so great that
the spacious offices We're unable TO contain
them, with the result that good many per-
sons we're forced to wait their turn before
being admitted. Possibly this was due to
the fact that this is the first time this one
dollar yearly contract proposition has been
made i'll this country.
Despite the startling nature of the NEW
METHOD" offer 1t has born the careful
scrutiny of serious investigation. The pro-
prietors of the NEW METHOD" dental
parlors are tho. oughly responsible gentle
men with high ratings in all of the best
financial agencies and publications.
For one dollar they contract to clean, fill
and, If neces ssary, extract the teeth of a
client for one year The dentists in charge
of the parlors are men of long experience IN
their professions = The theory under which
they make their new offer is that If teeth
are properly taken care of at the time the
first imperfectiOns appear they will give
comparatively no trouble thereafter, pro-
vided they are examined and treated at not
too infrequent intervals. All the work done
in the NEW METHOD" parlOrs is guaran-
teed to be painless.
So far as is known every patient of the
NEW METHOD" parlors has been
| thoroughly satisfied with the work done
| there. A number of unsolicited testimonial
letters has been sent to the manager, DR.. G.
| H. Frasier.
Mr.. Daniel Humphries, manager of the
| Lyceum Theatre, which is Wilmington's
leading family playhouse, writes as follows
| to DR.. Frasier:
Dear DoctOr:-When saw your advertise
ment in one of our papers. was sceptical
but as my teeth needed attention, decided
to call on you. By paying one dollar anc

| length of time, and on that day received

That was several weeks ago. and the filing
which you then put in have given me ever!
comfort and satisfaction.
1t gives me pleasure to recommend you

everyone interested.
Very sincerely yours,
