defendant commenced working

that she was forced to sell some

provided for her an d
their home; that once during

KOREAN ETIQUETTE.
A Natives New Years Call Upon an
American Lady,

The native Koreans, who have be-
come familiar with foreigners and
their ways, take very readily to the
custom of calling-and eating-on New
Years day, and one American lady
had a very peculiar experience with
native official in Seoul on New Years
day. She was keeping open house
and had made preparations for re-
ceiving her guests in the proper man
ner.
Among other things she had made
very excellent and rather large cake,
which she expected to distribute in
small slices to her callers. A party Of
native gentlemen arrived, and, having
given one of them a cup Of tea, she
placed this fine cake before him, with
an invitation to help himself.
She then went with the others to an
other room and was gone some time,
When she returned she saw, to her
horror, that her cake had all but dis
appeared. The native. according to
his ideas of etiquette. had done his best
not to leave any of the eatables set
before him.
The lady's vexation was banished
by a feeling of pity for the poor fell
low, who was quite sick from over
feeding. 1t is said that this call was
his first and last that day. He de-
CARED to his friends that foreigners
must be "all stomach if they could

This curious picture of an eastern
magician is from Caroline Corners

fakir forthwith commenced to unpack
the burden on his back, the principal
item being a bamboo framework or
scaffolding. This he held with his right
hand, while he mounted step by step

perhaps Of eleven feet, he paused, with
arms extended, to effect a balance.
For some reason or other the frame
work remained perfectly steady and
perpendicular, while the fakir stretch
cd himself out like spider on its web.
At intervals on the bamboos were
heavy nails, rusty, but sharp at the
point. These nails distinctly penetrat-
ed the mans mahogany colored flesh
when he stretched himself out on the
framework
''Thus he remained, a hideous wound
made by each nail. from which the
purple blood flowed. lying there for the
space of ten minutes or so. except for
the blood a lifeless figure of clay.
Then, muttering some strange gibber-
ish, animation returned. and. making
movements so that the nails We're eX-
tricated from the wounds. the fakir
with his toes kicked away the scaffold-
ing and remained himself alone unsup-
ported in midair.
Yes, there this weird creature re

! limbs apparently stiff and cataleptic,
his eyes fixed upward and glazed. It's
a fact said Cynthia in low tones of
wonder. AT home they would say we
were hypnotiZed.'

MOUNT ETNA.
Its Wonders as Revealed In Tales of
Travellers.


Mount Etna has furnished more ma
terial for travellers tales than any
other mountain on the earth. Aston
ished Euglishmen of a century ago
who fell into the fashionable habit of
climbing to its highest peak-and some
did so. TO the amazement of the Sicil-
ians, even in the dead of winter-have
left on record IN the exuberant Ian
guage of their day the emotions that
thrilled their soul. The man who
treads Mount Etna," wrote one of
these. lis a man above the world.
Every river on the island can be traced
from its mouth to its source.
The characters" the same writer
continues, 'of all the climates of ahe
earth can be detected-the frigid close

of trees Just underneath and the trOp-
teal at the base of the mountain, with
its vineyards and luxuriant groves.
