MISSIONARIES LITTLE JOKE.
Hw He Heightened the Day for a
Korean ViIIare

The Koreans in the vicinity of Seoul
the capital city, and around the treaty
ports are fast losing their early guile
lessness in trying to follow the march
of western civilization, says he Youth S
J Companion. In the mountains of the
interior, however, conditions are much
the same as in the days when Korea
could justly be termed the hermit na-
ton and the inhabitants knew little
and cared less about occidental pro-
greSs.
Among the American missionaries
who were in the habit of making pro-
| tracted trips in the interior of the coun-
| try there was one who. in addition to
| being a jealous worker, was also good
| deal of wag.
On the occasion Of one of his inland
Journeys he found himself at nightfall
in small village. where he was to
spend the night in the straw-t -thatched
dwelling of one of the native converts.
The sleeping chamber was the usual
tiny room. heated by a system of flues
nearly air-tight by closely fitting oil
paper, windows and doors.
1t was fearfully hot and about mid
night the American could stand it no
longer, so he strolled out in the open
for a breath of air. The village was
wrapped in slumber, SO just for a joke
and with no ulterior motive the mis-
sionary let out a lusty imitation of a
ROSTERS crow. This was Immediately
taken up by a wakeful bird In a court
yard near and in a few minutes every
fowl was adding his morning salute
to the general chorus.
Now watches and alarm clocks were
an unknown luxury in the village and
the people were accustomed to time
their rising hour by the ROSTERS In
few moments, therefore, the sleepy
Koreans came struggling out of their
little huts and after starting the fires
on which to boil the morning rice
lighted their long bamboo pipes and
squatted round in little groups to wait
for sunrise.
Their amazement can be imagined
when the hours went by and still there
were no signs of light in the east.
"Irun chame," said one to another.
as with open mouth he pondered over
the phenomenon.
Years have passed since then, but in
at least one village in Korea all events
still date back to "the night when the
morning didn't come"

MAY PROVE A PROBLEM.
HEALTH AUTHORITIES SEE IN
CREASE IN "PELLAGRA.-
All Admit of Positive Diagnosis and
Doctors Are Unable to Assign Any
Satisfactory Cause.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept 10
Expressing confident belief that pei
lagra" is likely to become in this coun-
try public health problem of greater
proportions than can at the present time
be realized, G. Ii. Lavinder, assistant
surgeon in the public health and marine
hospital service, has just reported the
results of his investigation OF the prev
alence of that disease in the Illinois
state hospital for the insane, to Surgeon
General Wyman. AS a prelude to his
report, Dr. Layinder states that the
housing, feeding and care OF patients Ill
the Institution are above criticism.
AS soon as the strange malady was
discovered i'll the Illinois institution and
finally diagnosed as pellagra, the public
health and marine hospital service was
requested to cooperate in the inyestiga-
ton of the outbreak there. There are in
the neighborhood of forty or fifty well
defined cases of pellagra in the institu-
ton. according to DIR. Lavinder. He
states that the type of the disease found
there differs in some respects from the
general type he is familiar with in the
south, but that the disease should vary i'll
different localities is said to be not I'M
usual.
The conditions are, however, de-
clared DR.. Lavinder definite and well
marked. and admits of positive dag
nosis. Inquiry was made as to how
much corn or its products entered into
the general diet, and it was learned
that corn is used sparingly. perhaps on
an average of not more than two or
three times week. The quality of the
meal and hOminy which l saw was to
all appearances excellent. / am unable
to assign arg satisfactory local cause for
the extent of the disease in the hospital.
There is one phase of the situation
in tbs institution which has been com
mon in my experience; here as well as
elsewhere. when the disease was finally
recognized the medical staff can recall
that the disease has been in the institu-
ton for many years and the superin-
tendent told me that now he realizes that
he has had cases ever since the inStltu-
ton was opened eight years ago"
