the Koreans have a ponderous two

the original wheeled vehicle. Unlike
Japan, where only a hand pillow is
used, the Koreans cultivate their
fields with oxen The last Of the rice
crop had been gathered and the
fhreshing floors of the farm houses in
the villages were busy places. There
are no solitary farm houses in this
country; the farmers live in villages

e. Ute Missionary with Gun.
In many of the villages through
: which we passed, churches are estab-
Eished; and occasionally we stopped
TO speak to some native Christian.
The "Moksa," or missionary, is per
son Of distinction, and his passage an
event OF course, all speech is in
Korean; there is no such widespread
knowledge of English as in Japan.

~Ghe absence of the shrines and idols

Salt Water for the Ewes.

Salt water, fairly strong, used regu-
larly several times day, will wonder
fully strengthen the muscles of the
eyes. 1t acts as tonic upon every
part Of the under lid and the correa,
and penetrates deep even into the re-
cesses of the tear gland. Upon eye
lids prone to granulation, or to styes,
the action of warm salt water is most
marked and almost immediate.
The salt bath was tried upon eyes
weakened by long use, that could not
bear the. light, yet had excellent sight,
so far as power of vision went, If only
the weakened muscles would allow
the iris to have fun play. The salt
bath was tried. first with sponge,
later with the eyes held open in a
basin Of salt water, and the result was
restored tone to every feeble muscle.

COLLARS OF LINEN
NOT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE
PASSED YOUTHS BLOOM.
Soft Ruches or NeckWear Of Muslin
or Lawn Better Suited to the
ElderIy-Transparen White
UndersIeeves.

Starched white linen should be
passed their first youth. The rea'
son is simply because the hard,
smooth texture of the material
contrasts unfavorably and accen-
tuates every wrinkle and bit
Of yellowishness or fiabbiness in
the skin. Better admit that the fresh
frmness of youth is gone and dress
accordingly than make oneself appear
older by emphasizing the gain of
years.
For example, there is scarcely any
type of face in girl, or young WON
an, to which linen collar is not be-
coming. The severe white line with
smart tie, large or small, is chic, and
It is this fact which accounts for such
collars not going out Of fashion.
Put this kind of neck finish about
the throat Of woman who is past
middle age and she looks "scraggy"
and passe. For her soft ruches should
be considered necessity OF life. or,
in their stead, white collars made of
bias folds of soft muslin or lawn.
One Of the most becoming, and at
the same time inexpensive, ties that
can be worn is made with width Of
null three-quarters of a yard long.
The ends should be rolled and wash
lace four inches in width gathered on
with double the fullness.
That completes the neckpiece, but
the knack lies in the way it is put on.
Instead of holding it SO that the ends
will be straight across, pull them so
that they are bias. Fasten q separate
white collar foundation on the neck,
and then pull the tie SO that it be-
comes the width of the collar. Put
this under the chin and cross at the
back, where it should be held in the
middle with fancy little pin. Bring
the two ends around front and you will
find that they hang long and pointed.
Tie these ends in two common knots,
one after the other, the second form
ing square knot. That leaves the
two ends hanging like jabot, an eff
feot that is quite finished il the two
lowerpoints are pinned invisibly to
the waist.
For the reason that hands betray
age or illness by becoming wrinkled
or scraggy, stiff cuffs should be avoid
ed by all but the young. Soft frills
must be used instead.
The reign of elbow sleeves is so
complete that it takes brave woman
to give it no heed. Yet better that
one should ignore it than spoil ones
whole effect by an unbecoming finish,
which these short sleeves usually
make. This is due to- the fact that
woman whose arms are pretty from
the elbows down is the exception. "a
well-rounded arm" existst more fire.
Quently in the. mind Of poet or artist
than in fact, and nature turns out
some decidedly homely specimens. II
woman who knows that she is No,
blessed in this direction will give. the
matter a little thought, she will dc
much to improve herself.

A Fish Story.

"Trout protection! Nonsense!" said
gunner of local eminence. Trout
are amply able to protect themselves.
Look at their depredations among
ducks, for example, and you will agree
with me that it's the birds that need
protection. It's a common thing for
trout to jump from the water, seize a
duck by the neck, drag the unfortunate
fowl into the depths sufficiently to
leave it's feet sticking in the air, where
it can get no purchase upon the uni
verse, and thus drown it. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird,
eats it at it's leisure and swims away
out of the jurisdiction of the courts.
Are there any fishermen? None? Too
bad. This would be a match for one
of their fish stories"

JAPANESE AN ESKIMO KING.
Wada, Who Cured Arctic Natives, Be
comes Their Supreme Potentate.

Mail advices from the arctic say
that James Wada, the little Japanese
who was released from jail at Nome
some time ago because there was a
lack Of evidence to commit him on a
charge of larceny, has left for Icy
Cape, where he will assume once
more the metaphorical crown and
scepter and govern the band of In
dians of which he was chief I'D to the
time of his arrest, says the Edmon-
ton correspondent of the Seattle
Times.
Wada's story is interesting. He
came to the arctic several years ago
In whaling vessel and settled at Icy
Cape. Later he went to Herschell
island, but fell into the bad graces of
the Indians at that place. In the mid
die of winter, without food, he start
ed back over the ice and snow for
Icy Cape, a distance of several hun
dred miles.
Wada is a wonderful "musher." and
with his rifle managed to kill enough
seals to feed himself and dogs. When
he arrived at Icy Cape the Indians
welcomed him heartily, for there had
been much trouble among them ever
since his departure. They had Jared
badly with the traders, who had
cheated them, and scourge of sickness
had appeared among them. Wada
had some knowledge of medicine and
hygiene, and by exercising it he saved
the lives of many of the Indians. One
Of them, who was in a trance and
thought to be dead, was taken in hand
by Wada, and to the astonishment ot
the natives he recovered. The pa
tlent told his companions he had beer
to the happy hunting grounds ant
that he had learned the Japanese was
a great medicine man or shaman.
Bowing low in humility, the native.
offered to make him their chief and t.
pay him a tribute on all their fur!
and ivory and other products of the
chase. To Wada's credit. it is said
he refused the greater portion of tn,
tribute, but agreed to become thei
chief. He reigns supreme and live
on the best the district affords.

vice president of the United States. Dur
Ing her four years in Washington she was
q distinct social success. She has served
as president general of the Daughters OF
the American Revolution and as a prom
lnent officer in other important organiza'
tionS.)
Through the medium of the clubs,
and by their own volition, women have
turned upon themselves the search
light of close scrutiny. The result is
that many of the defects of character
which were overlooked and pardoned
because of the feminine source now
stand before the court of their own
choosing.
The crucial test is, What have the
clubs done to demand perpetuation
and the gratitude of credulous pub
lie?
1t was not sporadic but most in
fectious disease, this almost spontane'
Gus uprising among women into a
higher and nobler valuation of their
capabilities and dormant powers.
Perhaps the credit of introducing
club methods to the American women
should be given to the missionary so
cieties. The first movement for or
ganized, independent work by the
American women in behalf of heath
en- women was inaugurated in New
York, April 1860, by Mrs. T. G. Dore
mus.
In 1884 the Rev. David Abeel re
turned from his mission in China and
pleaded in New York the cause of the
zenana women. This germ of Two
mans mission to woman" took root in
the heart of Mrs. Doremus. Twenty-siE
years later, when she heard the stir
ring words of missionary from Bur
ma, Mrs. Doremus resolved that this
appeal should find response in the
hearts of American women if it could
be accomplished In 1860 her fondest
hopes were realized, and an independ
ent, undenominational society was or
ganized to send out single women tc
the east. The organization took the
title of the "Woman's Union Mission
ary Society of America for Heather
Lands" This was the first organized
effort of woman to conduct labors o1
magnitude and Importance.

Has it been a benefit to woman?
Who will say "no?"


I Quickly followed clubs galore-the
Margaret Fuller, the Shakespeare, the
Longfellow, the Browning, and other
clubs. Later came the patriotic or
ganizations. First and foremost Of
these stands the national society of
the Daughters of the American Rev
olution. The work of the national so.
ciety during the war with Spain alone
would give it deserved renown.
Other natriotic organizations are
the ColcaIal Danes, the Daughters of
the Confederacy, the Daughters Of the
Cincinnati, the Woman's Relief Corps
and many more.
All these clubs (for such they are)
have had undoubted influence upon
the patriotism of our country.
To your honest judgment we leave
IL to decide whether or not these
clubs have been Of benefit to the
American women.
Undoubtedly the greatest factor in
the development of women are the
distinctive woman's clubs. They have
passed beyond the experimental peri
cd and are an assured fact.
The corner stone upon which these
clubs were founded was and is edu-
cation, in it's broadcast, highest sense.
Through them every avenue of
thought and endeavor has been
opened. These clubs we're organized
not for the benefit of women alone,
but for the uplifting. and betterment
Of mankind.
