Uncomfortable Korean Houses.

The "kang." the Korean house
furnace, renders the atmosphere of
the inl:s where travellers take their
rest almost insutferable. 1t is pic
tured as a primitive though ef-
fective means of heating the houses
throughout the kingdom. A small
fire Of brushwood is lighted in the
small furnace at one side of the
house, thence numerous Aues under
the mud floor conduct the smoke
and hot air to an upright chimney
or hole in the wall at the opposite
end or side, and a little fire sufices
to thoroughly heat a large house. A
traveller says he is not surprised to
find coughs and colds common, for
an indoor temperature Of 70 de-
grees or 80 degrees and an outdoor
one of zero form trying extremes.
Moreover, the constant warmth
seems to keep alive the numerous
flies, feas, bugs and cockroaches
with which most of the houses
swarm.

THE PRIME MINISTER.
He 10 the Real Ruler Of the Great Brit.
ish Empire.

The real ruler of the British en-
pire Is not the titular sovereign nor
the hereditary nobility. It is the
leader of the political majority, who
derives his power solely from the di-
rect vote Of the people. The prime
minister of England is subordinate
neither to the king nor the house
of peers. Every man who shares
with him in the work of the gov
; ernment is his subordinate.
Following a general election the
sovereign sends for member of the
majority party and instructs him to
form a government. This is one Of
those fctions Of the constitutional
authority of the sovereign to which
the English people cling as to the
heritage of tradition. The sum-
mons is delivered, but it is merely a
form. The party leader is such not
by the grace of the sovereign, but
by the choice of the majority; not
by election, but because he has the
qualities of leadership.
The leader, having received the
sovereign's instructions to form q
government, becomes by that man
date the autocrat of the empire.
His power is absolute. Like the
president, he may appoint whomso-
ever he pleases a member of his cab
met, but, unlike the president, he
is not influenced by geographical
considerations, nor does he have to
submit his nominations to the SEN
ate. In both countries the men,
bers of the cabinet hold Office at the
will of the appointing power, but
the tenure of office is even more
precariouS in England than it is in
the United States. Here a minister
may differ from the president on a
matter Of policy and not feel it in
cumbent upon him to resign. In
England there can be no differences.
Either a minister agrees with his
chief or he resigns.
In'England the cabinet is an eH-
ira legal creation. Nominally it is
one of the committees of the privy
council, whose functions are to ad-
wise the sovereign, but this is sim
ply a survival of mediaevalism. The
cabinet is under the sole control of
the premier, unhampered by royal
or other interference. But-anoth-
er survival-no member of the cab
met may make public any matter
discussed by the cabinet without the
express sanction of the sovereign,
and when the premier issues a sum-
mons to a cabinet council, which
meets at irregular intervals, accord
ing to the e1igency of public bust
ness, the minister is requested to
attend a meeting of his majesty's
servants Maurice Low in Ap-
pleton's Magazine.

Byron's Goose.

One of the odd things remember
ed of Byron was his careful OBJ
servance of English customs abroad,
customs maintained with an accom-
paniment of abuse of his native
land. He religiously ate plum pud-
ding at Christmas and roast goose
on Michaelmss day. An acquaint-
ance chronicled a droll consequence
of this last fancy. Buying large
goose at Pisa early enough to fatten
it for Michaelmas, the poet proceed
ed to feed it himself daily. Alas!
"As the fateful day arrived he
found himself so fond Of the crea-
ture that he determined to spare it's
life and buy another in its place.
The respited fowl now began to
travel with him, being swung in q
cage under his carriage"

C.. W. WOLFE.
Kingstree, S. &.

"The State newspaper should
start fools club, with an Ananias
annex, for those who dare to dissent
from its illuminated views" y
Kingstree County Record. That
would be too cruel. Instead, we
have an apartment provided with
sack cloth and ashes, into which we
retire for self-infcted chastisement
after being convicted of, shocking
judgment in accreditlng some young
colleglan editor with ability and Sc
rlous desire to discuss with reason,
and for truths sake, great education
al questions, and discovering that,
dixie newly tapped beer, he is all head
- and the head all wind and froth.
The State.
Now that settles the whole
matter. The gtAt and good and
wise and infallible State tries to
side-step our whole argument by
a meek insult. Such methods are
characteristic of our amiable con-
temporary and IN this case we
deem its abuse the highest COM
pliment it is capable of bestowing.

Japan's Ancient Civilization.

Arthur NJ. Knapp in his "Feudal
and Modern Japan" points out, as
other observing historians have
done before him, that the apparent
lY miraculous conversion of Japan
to modern civilization is not so
strange once it is realized that Ja-
pan was already in high state Of
civilization at the opening of the
present modern era. Some time be-
fore America was discovered the
japanese had their banks, clearing
house and Europe's supposedly mod
ern system of bank checks, drafts,
letters Of credit and notes Of hand.
A thorough rural delivery postal
system also was in vogue among the
japanese in the days when painted
Indians still roamed the shores Of
New England and the Atlantic
coast.

At His Wits End.

He sat in his office musing. "Now,
here are two tickets for the thsater
tonight" he said. eff | ask Jones
to go with me Pm sure to find out
when l get home to dinner that it's
the only thing that's been here In a
year that my wife really wants to
see, and if 1 don't ask any one to 60
and plan to take her I'll learn when
it's too late to make any change
that nothing could hire her to sit
through the old piece"
He puzzled his head over the
question for an hour, and then ne
tossed up a quarter to decide what
he would do, although he knew he
would lose whichever way it came.

Two Hats.

"Mr. Hankinson," asked innocent
little Tommy, who was entertaining
the young man in the parlor while
his sister upstairs was putting the
finishing touches on her complex
ion, "why don't you wear the kind
of plug hat Dir. Simmons does when
he comes here%"
"What is the matter with my plug
hat, Tommy" inquired Mr.. Hankin-
son, with a large, genial smile.
"His'n will straighten out again
when l sit down on it," answered
the innocent little boy, edging his
way toward the door, "and your'n
won't" Chicago Tribune.

Peculiar Tactics.

The policy of the Columbia State
in its recent discussion of the COM
pulsory education question is puzzling
to the minds of those who are sim
eerely seeking the evidence BY which
that question should be solved. The
treaders of The COUNTY RECORD
will recall that some weeks ago We
smade the assertion that what lad
tbeen done in the way of material
progress and intellectual advance
ment in Connecticut under CON-
palsory education had been done in
South Carolina without compulsory
education. The State, according to
its usual method of dealing with
one who dares to differ with its
views, attempted to brush this state
Sment aside by ridicule, informing its
neaders that this assertion would not
.receive serious consideration until
some facts in evidence were produc-
ed. Whereupon, waving all the
rights of usage and custom in such
q matter-of which surely the State
is not ignorant-we presented last
week some of the facts for which
The State has called so loud and
Gong, but We notice that, so far, The
State seems to have no use for facts
and figures in its columns, unless
they are in favor Of the side which
The State has, perhaps hastily, as
ssumed. Why did not The State re-
fute our assertion with facts and
figures? And when We presented the
facts and figures which prove our
assertion, why did The State not give
its readers the opportunity of judg-
ing for themselves as to whether il
was sail wind and froth"?
When the United States census
reports that, although under com,
pulsory education for fifty years
only rs per cent of the families in
Connechcut have homes to live in,
while in South Carolina, without
compulsory education, So per cent Of
the families have homes to live in
TIE State says that Is "all wind and
froth;' and when the United States
census says that 2l per cent of these

This legal holiday business

This legal holiday business is

published elsewhere it will be
seen that there are already enough
of them to take one day out Of
every month on the average dur
ing the entire year. And at al,
most every session of the legisla.
turc another is added to the al
ready long list. If it keeps on,
In the course of time there will

would in some states, but YOU warn
the man that you will shoot him on
sight. The warning must be in the
presence of witnesses or in writing.
Then you 60 home and get your pis-
tol, and the other man presumably
does the same thing. After that
wherever you and your adversary
meet the one who sees the other
first opens fire, or if the recognition
is simultaneous it is merely ques-
ton of which can pull his pistol
quickest.
Usually one is killed or badly in
jured. But if the warning has been
given in due form it is 10 to that
the jury will not'convict the killer.
The verdict is "self defense" or at
most "manslaughter." There is
hardly a case on record of a murder
er being hung for his share III
duel of this kind, however one
sided.
If the cause of the quarrel has
anything to do with an insult offer
ed to a lady of the challenger'5 fam
lily the latter is far safer than if he
had killed a dog. In most cases he
walks out Of court amid the cheers
of the audience.
There was a ghastly tragedy at
Oak Grove, Va. A man named
Marx quarreled with a neighbor
over an alleged insult to young
lady. In the ensuing affray Marx
killed Taylor and two of his friends
and seriously wounded a fourth.
The coroner's jury decided that
Marx had acted in self defense and
exonerated him.
To some ears this code of the
southern states sounds wicked and
criminal to a degree. Yet the
southern code of honor is certainly
no worse than that prevailing in
the German and Austrian armies.
If a German or Austrian officer
quarrels with another of his own
rank a duel must take place at once.
The insulted man is in coventry
till blood is shed. But if the insult
is from one so much higher in rank
that the other cannot challenge, the
latter is doomed to commit suicide.
The late Archduke Otto, the Aus
trian emperor's nephew, got tipsy
one night and brought crew Of
boon companions to the doors OF
his wife'S suit. A young lieutenant
on duty drew his sword and swore
he would run the first man through
who touched the door handle. Otto
struck the boy in the face and then
retreated. The lieutenant could
not challenge one of royal blood.
He prepared to commit suicide.
Most happily the story came to the
emperor's ears. He telegraphed the
lieutenant and Otto to attend at
once at the Hofburg.
Then he rated Otto 6ercely and
ended by saying: "Your royal rank
precludes Lieutenant - from
challenging you. But no restric-
ton binds me-" With that he
stepped up to the archduke and
struck him heavy blow on the
cheek with his open hand. 'Now
co." he babe him. Then he turned
to the Lieutenant and embraced
him. "You will receive your COM
mission as captain tonight" he said,
"and with it your exchange to an
other station" - Chicago Record
