man servants Of each girl went in front
and her slave girls followed behind.
When the procession arrived at the
palace the thirty nlaidens were care
fully looked over by the emperor, who
has has since been deposed, and si1 the poorest
ones to the number of fifteen were
weeded out and sent home. A day or
so later another inspection was made
and the marriageable ladies reduced
tosseyen or eight. After this there was
q third examination, and q young girl
OF about thirteen or so, belonging to the
noble Yum family, was chosen Con-
trary to the usual custom. IN Korea,
which provides that the groom has
wife, the crown prince himself made the
final decision. The girl picked out
was the youngest Of the whole thirty.
She WIS small of her age. and when the
crown prince pointed her out as his:
choice his father said; You had bet
ter4-take one Of the others. That girl
Is too small" AZ q
/. oh. as to that was the reply or his
majesty, she will grow He insist
ed upon her at the second selection, and
also at the third, and finally got her.
He was right as to the growing. She
is much larger now. and has .deyeloped
into choking Korean woman. She
is very bright, and the Japanese are
giving. hcr an education which is in adj
vance Of that ofganyF Korean queen OF
the past. She is. stud ing Japanese

that the two live together.
ON 3TFIE WAY TO THE PALACE.
Before I go farther, let me tell you
about MY audience with his majesty
and describe how he looks. The time
fixed for the interview was IL o'clock in
the morning and I was instructed to
appear in full evening dress. l UNDER
stand that must go in state, and our
consul-general kindly gave me his chair
and the official bearers of our govern
sment. I started at 10 o'clock in the
morning and In the bright sunshine,
rode through Seoul in tall silk hat,
swallowtail coat white necktiel and the
other appurtenances which we Ut home
wear only after 6 O'Clock in the eve
ming
had to stoop low to get my tall hat
into the chair, and ducked when the
bearers raised me to their shoulders.
The chair was not bigger than a dry
goods box, or about four feet cubed,
and it was about the same shape. 1t
was open at the front, and the upper
part of 1t was walled with glass so that
i could look out as I rode. The chair
was upholstered in lilac satin and had
q red flannel cushion. 1t was slung be-
tween two black poles nbout 16 feet

onlyso story, but the floors are we'll
up OFF the ground and they have
arched roofs OF heavy tiles which ex-
tend far out beyond the walls and make
tfssm quite picturesque. I cannot tell
you how many buildings there are In
this palace, but the number is enough
to form dious quarters for his
majesty and his retinue, When I say
that he has ., 900 servants and that the
most Of these eat and sleep inside the.
walls, you will see that they must be
extensive.
PALACES 300 YEARS OLD.
The buildings OF today are a strange
combination Of the old and the new.
The rulers of Korea have had a. palace
on this spot for more than 300 years.
and the buildings have bee;l patched up
aAds,remodeled from time to time. Just
now new structures are being erected,
and the audience hall, in which his
majesty will receive in the future, will
be far different from that in which
met him today The waiting room,
where I was received by the court
chamberlafns in company with Gen.
Ogesaki and the number of other Jap
anese officers, was evidently the result
of foreign graft, and it made me think
of the Pennsylvania state house where
the furniture was paid for by the inch.
.Outwardly it was Korean, but the In
terror was of the cheapest foreign
style as TO its decoration and furniture
1T had green pine doors, such as one
buys at dollar each at our lumber
yards. and the door knobs were OF
the plain white porcelain variety. The
paper on the walls and ceiling, did not
actually cost those who furnished it
more than is cents a roll, and the vel
low velvet carpet on the floor would be
high at 81 a yard.
In striking contrast with this plain
ness We're the uniforms Of the Korean
officials and Japanese generals. All
We're of European cut, but they spar

80 feet ftlgt and ~ 100 feet $long The.
emperor Of Korea, several OF his cabi--

my surprise, the emperor bowed too.
and held out his hand. I took it and
we shook. l wish you could have felt
that hand. 1T was as soft as cotton
and warm and pleasant to touch.
Z The man who had been received be-
fore me had merely bowed upon his re-
ception and turned away. I supposed
this was proper, and started to do like
wise; whereupon the emperor rnotioned
me to stop. and the master of ceremon-s
les said that his majesty wished to.
speak to me. Tho emperor then asked
how long had been in the country
and when was going away. He want
ed to know whether I had an audience
with him before and when i replied
( that had met him Ia years ago, at the
beginning OF the war between Japan
and China, and diplomatica added
that his majesty loked as young today
as he did then, he 4perceptibly smiled.
This encouraged me to beg him to send
a message through me to the United
States. The master OF ceremonies pre-
tended to submit this request, but
Whether he did SO or not do not know,

years ago, when Haeckel had come to
Berlin to deliver some lectures, his
friend, Haro Magnussen, the sculptor,
hinted that the occasion called for a
new suit of clothes, a suggestion Z TO.
which the astonislied professor at first
offered vigorous resistance. < His
friend, however, at length succeeded in
peisuading him that the sacrifice was
due to Berlin and to his respect for sci
!ence. The professor, convinced against
his will, yielded the point and bought,
a ready-made suit at a shop that sup
piled the poorer classes! When visiting

renowned savant contented himself
with a bed in the poky little lumber

lation providing4that they should have,

MARRIED TWICE.
His deep family affection was mani
tested in his grief for the loss of his
first wife after eighteen months of hap
pyf marriage. To escape from his
sense of loss he absorbed himself in
the terrific task of writing his two vol

which time he allowed himself only
three or four hours sleep a day. A
second marriage followed several years
later at the desire of Haeckers moth

NEEDLEW0RK NOTES.

After stitching down a seam press with hot iron, and if no seam board Is at hand it is useful to know that a rolling pin wrapped in a clean cloth will answer the purpose equally well.
 Hemming on lightweight wool goods should be done by hand and with a short needleful of split silk. This does away with the tight twisting of the fine single silk and in consequence makes a prettier
 The new and dainty honiton eyelet embroidery combines well with brier or satin stitch or with the coarser waflachian embroidery. This combi- nation of stitches is one of the new ideas fin the decoration of waists.
 If you have difficulty in holding your shirt waists down, make a belt of strong silk elastic two inches smaller than your waist. Then sew a hook on one end and an eye on the other and fasten around the waist over the shirt waist and under the skirt band. It works like a charm.
