To this hypothesis 1t may be objected
that the cloudscapes of the sunrise ought
logically to offset the others. But the
primitive ancestor was not an early riser;
he was a notorious sluggard, as is the
savage of today, and seldom saw the sun
rise-so seldom that its fascination did
not get into the blood of him and from
him into ours. Even when he did see

LOCATING MEN IN SNoWSLiDE.
How Rescues Are Sometimes Made In
the Mountains.

From the Seattle Post-fntelligencer.
Eli Smith is credited with having saved
the lives of twenty-five men at Sheep
Camp in the spring of 1898 at the time
of the great snowslde on the Dyea trail
II will be recalled that sixty-three men
were killed by the slide, most of them
suffocating before rescuers could reach
them. Smith was on the trail several
miles below the slide He came up three
quarters of an hour after the tragedy and
found the survivors frantlcally trying to
dig the victims out
Give me that stick" said Smith to
a man who had a fiat lathlike piece Of
wood in his hand.
The stick was turned over to Smith,
who Immediately whitfield the end so
that he could insert it in his mouth and
grasp 1t firmly with his back teeth Then
he thrust the stick in the snow and held
the end in his mouth, apparently listen
ing. He repeated the operation at sever
al points in the slide Finally he shouted
Comet Dig here, quickr'
At depth of nine feet the rescuers
took out three men, unconscious, but
alive. Those three men recovered and
We're all right by morning
In the same manner Smith pointed out
other places, which resulted in the locat-
ing of many bodies and the uncovering
in all of twenty-five men whose lives
were saved
Where did you learn that trick, !"
Smith was asked the other day
Il learned that I'm Idaho, at Wood
river said he. The Indians know that
trick. | guess a wire would be better
than stick, but they don't keep wire
in stock out in the wilds. so Indians
always use stick. You see If a Teller is
alive you can sort of hear him breathe
or ! guess it's more like feeling him
breathe. If he is kicking or moving around
you can hear him plain. You just put
the stick down into the snow two or
three feet and you can hear a Teller
breathing. even if he's twenty feet further

The Sensitive Korean.

From the Chicago News.
There are brass men, and wooden men,
and cowhide men, in all lands and among
all nations, so also in Corea; but taken
one by one, and as a whole, there is no
race where there exists a more sentitive
nature or a keener appreciation of the
feeling of Others" says a writer in the
Seoul Press Weekly LAS for theatres
there are none. and Corea has no pit or
dress circle, but yet every man plays to
the galleries for all that he is worth and
the manner in which he succeeds in his
part is to him everything. We. from the
west, are rude and careless in compari-
son. We move about without ceremony
and think even to hold our heads up when
our trousers are pulled at the knees and
our shoes lack backing but not so the
Corean He falls frequently into a state
of dilapidation, and the burden of it is
full of misery and bears heavily down
upon him. If sudden winfall comes
his way he blossoms out Immediately.
Ellis is a life of ceremony and his words
are full of all delicate shades of compli-
ment and good opinion. BY turn of the
verb or choice Of the noun he can lift his
nearer up among the gods and crown
him with no end of distinction. Again
by the same power or the tongue and
same words used he can put you down
into the depths and leave you weltering.
Through the medium of this language of
his, he can tell you to go about your
business and never come back again in a
way that will have you highly elated.
Corean life and language are based or
the understanding that this human frame
of ours is capable of approaching all the
slightest degrees of frown and fevor.
"At this time when their land has pub
licly passed under the protectorate, how
keenly they feel 1t. 1t Is no mere show
of tears these days. but real sorrow that

the soul The wisest have seen that It
must come and that their own misrule
would end thus ultimately but that makes
