In Seoul it is noteworthy that the
missionaries continue the dominant
Anglo-Saxon community. There are
at this capital more missionaries than
all other white foreigners combined.
Because of their activity and long res
idence, they are the best known
to the Koreans. While there is a
small and not very closely-knit
consular set, and business set, as in
other capitals, they rank after the
missionary set, and, in fact, are in
more intimate relations with it than
usual.
A missionary physician is the doc
tor of the white community. This
is DR.. o. r. Avison, head of the Sew
erance Memorial hospital, which is
spoken of in Seoul as "the hospital"
though the Methodists also conduct a
busy and successful hospital here.
There is no lack of work for the
medical missionary in Korea. The
Severance hospital, which is the gift
of Louis N. Severance, a well-known
Presbyterian layman of Cleveland, O.,
is built and equipped on the lines of
a first-class American hospital. Its
patients include the best people in
Seoul, and DR.. Avison is physician to
his majesty.
The king recently made a gift. of
$1,000 to the hospital, and another of
like amount to DR.. Avison himself.
The latter has been through dramatic
and bloody scenes at the Korean
court, but always as personal friend
of the emperor; he says that he and
the emperor never talk politics. AS

Canadian, is DIR. j. w. Hirst, of Phil

nurse. Miss E. l.. Shields, of Lewis

SETTING THE BRIDE At EASE.
"Widder's" Sympathy Went Out 20
Fellow Passenger.

A couple recently married had just
entered the train that was to bear
them to the mountains on their honey
moon, when they became aware of the
close scrutiny of them by a female pas
senger, who had evidently spotted" a
bride and groom. The young wife, on
opening her handbag, let fall some
rice on the floor, and the woman
smiled. The other passengers regard
ed the couple with interest. Seeing
that the bride was every moment be-
coming more flushed and uncomfort-
able by reason of their scrutiny, the
woman in the goodness of her heart,
leaned across the carriage

crowded, the enrolment being 56S,
with the present inadequate equip
ment. An illustration of the practi-
cal bent of the associations methods
is found in the fact that it is teaching
plumbing, to prepare young Koreans
for places as soon as the new city
water system is established. Twice
a week lectures, which might be
styled general information" are
given to audiences of more than a
thousand men, hundreds being COM

really stands for civilization to the
behind-the-times youth. 1t is even
teaching them how to use their
bodies, in physical exercise and sport.
All sorts of Korean celebrities are
more or less closely identified with
this work; the native secretary is a
man of rank, formerly Scouts chief
of police, who was converted while
undergoing a term of Imprisonment
because he refused to order his men
to fire on some reformers. The real
motive power of the association are
three young Americans, Secretaries
Gillette, Brockman and Gregg.
Team Work by the Denominations.
While America is writing articles
about church federation, and holding
conventions on the subject, the real
thing is under way in Korea, as in
some other mission fields. Aside
from small Anglican work, and the
Roman Catholic mission, Presbyterian
and Methodist bodies are the only
ones represented in this country. The
way in which they work together is
rebuke to many community in
America, rent by sectarian jealousy
and pride. The stage of mere good
will was passed long ago.

TWO WAYS OF LOOKING Att.
Wife's sneering Comment Met with
Sharp Answer.

Gelett Burgess at the recent dinner
of the American Booksellers associa-
ton of New York said: Il once knew
San Franciscan who married a girl
for her money. She was not a pretty
girl, and as time passed and love
cooled, she developed a rather tart
tongue.
One day her husband bought with
his quarters allowance a 20-horse-
power automobile. He took the car
home gayly and brought his wife out
to the front door to look at it. She
gave one sneering glance, and then
said:

Brief Items Concerning the
Boudoir, Parlor and Kitchen

A bad-tempered woman is not beau
tiful.
Perfect repose of manner is simply
conserving vitality.
White vaseline is excellent for keep
ing the lips soft and smooth.
Sleepless people should live in the
sunshine as much as possible.
Flaxseed tonic will counteract the
effect of dampness on the hair.
Powdered orris-root and prepared
chalk combined is good dentifrice.
Needless twisting and distorting the
face is a potent cause of wrinkles.
Be sure that the bed linen is always
perfectly dry before sleeping upon 1t.
Take good care of the teeth. Dis
ease and contagion lurk In the human
mouth.
Milk. taken hot or cold, is generally
fattening, but it should always be
slipped.
Cowslip root dried and reduced to a
powder is an excellent remedy for in
somnia.
Children should not be given solid
food until they are one year old and
then sparinsiy.
Sunshine should never be shut out
of the nursery. Sleep at night will be
more refreshing for the flood of sun
shine let into the room during the day.
If troubled with pleurisy apply fan
mel cloths wrung out of hot water. to
which small quantity of mustard has
been added. Change the cloth often.

An Umbrella Razar.

This scheme is adaptable to an out
door fete, or IT is equally pretty to
have all the booths at winter festival
built on the same plan, viz, an um-
brella surrounded by a circular coun.
ter. The effect is lovely.
The Japanese table would have a
huge parasol; and they come of enor-
nous size, with tiny parasol attach
ed to each rib. Under this attendants
in costume would serve tea and Jap
anese favors.
An umbrella covered with white cot
ton plentifully sprinkled with diamond
dust and hung with glass icicles would

or whatever the committees deemed
best.
Turkey could be represented by an
umbrella covered with turkey feathers
with a sale of busters, or sandwiches
and coffee. China" Summer" and
America" are easy of representation
and the whole effect will be worth the
trouble of preparation. 1t will soon
be Lent and this is an affair that
would be an attraction for an Easter
sale.

the arrangement is about as near
perfect as 1t could be. The sink
is in a well lighted corner next to the
pantry door. There is a great deal OF
running between the sink and the
pantry at dish-washing time. Every
step saved means less miles of travel
for the housekeeper
The pantry is part of the kitchen,
and it is part of the dining-room 1t
belongs to both. 1t has a window to
light it, as all pantries should have,
and it has two doors to shut out
the odors of cooking from the rest
of the house. The pantry has
shelves for dishes on one side and
cupboards for other things on the
other side that are well lighted, be-
ing opposite the window. The china
cupboard while it comes out of the
pantry really belongs to the dining
room. There is a kitchen pot cup.
board which is a great convenience
every day in the year. 1t provides
a place for stew-pans, griddles pre-
serving kettles, laundry tools, empty
fruit jars and a great many other
things that no housekeeper wants in
the pantry or exposed in the kitchen
proper.
There is another kitchen conven-
ience in the shelves at the top of
the cellar stairs. There are many
things which may be kept on these
shelves that otherwise would have to
go in the cellar because they don't
belong to the kitchen. Good house
keepers usually are sticklers for hav-
ing things in the right place. OF
course there are women who have no
sense of order, but such women should
never get married. Their place is in
the schoolroom teaching young chill
dren how to grow up orderly. 1t is
very much easier to tell somebody
else how to have place for every.
thing and everything in its place, than
1t is to organize such a system in
ones own home.
| From this kitchen it is easy to go
TO the cellar. In the course of day
there are a good many trips made
both ways. The great value of this
kitchen is its accessibility in both
directions. You can go downstairs
for pan of potatoes, or you can
go upstairs to sweep and make the
beds without being obliged to take
very many unnecessary steps. A mod
ern house is just as much of an in
vention as a new machine in a manu-
featuring establishment. 1t saves

One of the greatest luxuries in
modern houses is the private bath

many as three or four bedrooms, hav-

who listened heard a repetition of
words that carried them back to the

had succeeded in wrapping the rope
around the village pump, and thus
stopped the brainless calf, he supple

others that sent cold chill through
the crowd.

The summer was at its height when

would kindly take a calf down to the

The old timer dropped his work at
once and appeared at the Stebbins
domicile, where he haltered the calf
and after wrapping one end of the
rope around y his wrists, started
through the village on his mission
Everybody knew that animal belong

of conducting the Jersey to it's des
