A Caln nj Sea.

All the afternoon the brig rolled on
the long swells, which hourly grew
heavier. They leaped against the hori-
Eon, swung onward beneath the keel
and swept past with the unrelenting
persistency that seemed the embodi-
ment Of vindictive hate. A gale can
be combated, but In the grasp Of q
calm man is helpless. Every part OF
the vessel cried out in protest. The
canvas slated and tapped like the
wings Of a huge bird vainly trying TO
rise from the waves; every block rat
tied II croaked; the main boom,
hauled chock aft, snatched at It's sheets
with n viciousneSs that threatened to
part them at every roll and made their
huge blocks crash; from the pantry be
low came the constant rattle Of crock
cry, and the blue sea, dipped up
through the scuppers, swashed back
and forth across the main deck. BY
eight bells every stitch OF canvas had
been furled or Glued up to save 1t, and
the brig lay rolling in the dark hollows
like a drunken sailor Keeling home.-L.

Men and Hats and Churches.

In the sixteenth and seventeenth

by men In Protestant churches both On
the continent Of Europe and In Great
Britain.

circumstance hat at the French
church at the Savoy he saw, on Sept.

~fore-viz, a clergyman preaching with
his hat of.

some congregations took on their hats
when they sang the Psalms, but kept
their heads covered IL they Q them.
The custom almost died out after the
restoration, but was revived again by
William III. When William. however.

How TO Seal Letters,

1t is often very desirable to know
how to seal a letter sc that 1t cannot
be opened without betraylns the fact.
Steam or hot water will open envelopes
closed with mucilage and even a wafer.
A hot iron or a spirit lamp dissolvcs
scaling wax, an impression In plaster
having been taken OF the seal. by the
combined use OF wafer and sealing
wax, however, all attempts to open the
letter otherwise than by force can be
frustrated. All that Is necessary is to
close the letter lrst with n small moist
wafer and to pierce the latter with o
coarse needle dho same applies to mu
cilagc). w%hcrcupon sealing wax may be
used In the usual manner. This seal
can neither be opened by dry heat nor
by moisture. Chicago News.

A LAND or
0oAs OF the Qseor Things That Are
20 No Faund In Korea.

g0RS OF ths Queer Things That Are
TO Ne Fesnd Hn Korea.
Three scientists, two from America
and the other from Britain, are re-
ported to have spent several months III
Korea trying to clucldate the wonders
OF that strange land.
The wonders in question consist Of a
hot mineral spring which IL supposed
to heal anything from n cut to a can
GER; two springs so arranged that
when one Is full the other IL empty: a
cavern I'm the mountains In which a
cold. piercing wind RACES perpetuaily;
q large grove OF pine trees which will
sprout again directly they are cut
down; q stone which floats in space,
aud, last. but not least, Il rock which
gives forth great heat however cold
the weather might be.
The scientists studied the springs first
Of OIL and, failing to understand them.
turned their attention to the wonder
full cavern. The moment they entered
the Interior they Were almost blown
off their feet, and. although they adopt
Cd all ann Of dodges to lind the
origin of the wind, they had to return
to the open sadder but not wiser men.
They next walked into the grove OF
pine trees, known rs the "Incradlcable
forest" and here again they were
stumpcd. They destroyed several OF
the treca by fire during the night, and
next morning they were regrowing
strongly out OF the very ashes!
The fifth wonder of Korea, the hoat-
ing stone. I'm honor OF which a temple
has been built, tried the scientists
patience to u maddening degree.
This stone, to all appearance, rests
on the ground, yet when W. OF the
men stood upon 1t, one on each side,
the third was able to draw q thick
string underneath without encounter
ing any obstacle, Why, they were
never able to discover.
The warm rock, tho last wonder, also
puzzled their brains. This rock Is
really an immense stone, on the top OF
which n small inn has been erected.
The building requires no fires for heat.
Tag purposes either in winter or sum-
ner, for the rock always keeps IT
warm.
The scientists jumped to the conclu-
sion that the stone was situated over
an underground volcano which stlli
had life In 1t, but on taking soundlngs
they found that they were mistaken.
There was no natural furnace below;
indeed, the ground was quito cold. II
