Mourning In Korea.

Koreans wear full mourning for
their fathers. The dress is of hemp
cloth, with hempen girdle. A
face shield is used to show that the
wearer is a sinner and must not
speak to any one unless addressed.
The costume is retained for three
years, the shield for three months.
This is worn for father only.
Secondary mourning is worn for j
mother anu no mourning at all for
wife. The hat is of wicker. Dur
ing the China-Japanese war the
United States minister ordered ev-
cry American citizen to have in
readiness a dress of this sort for
disguise in case of fight.

SHE FOUGHT IN THE NAVY.
Louise Baker Served az a Marine on
tho Old Constitution.


At least one woman has served in
the United States navy. But ac-
cording to Edgar Stanton Maclay,
writing in the Bluejacket, she has
the roll to herself. Her real name
was Louise Baker, and, having en-
listed as a marine, she served
throughout the war of 1912 on the
famous frigate Constitution.
'For nearly three years." she
says, 81 passed for and performed
the duties of a marine, during
which time l was in three severe
engagements and never absented
myself from my post in time of dam
ger. i have, like others of the
ships crew, freely associated with
my shipmates both at sea and on
shore.
"And yet, as extraordinary as it
may appear, / have not the most
distant idea that single soul on
board ever had the. slightest sus-
picion of my sex. have thorough
ly studied the memoirs of Miss De-
borah Sampson (who, disguised as
man, served in the Continental
army during the Revolution with
out her identity being discovered),
and by strict adherence to the pre-
cautionary means by. which she
was enabled to avoid an exposure of
her sex | also was enabled to con-
ceal mine."
The Constitution engaged in
three of the more important single
ship actions of the nineteenth CEN
tury, that with the Guerriere, the
Java and the double action with the
Cyane and Levant.
Speaking of the action with the
Guerrero Miss Baker says: 81 was
all this time in the top plying my
faithful musket with the best sue
cess whenever the smoke would per-
NIT me to see bluejacket of the
enemy. In the heat of the action
grapeshot struck and splintered the
butt of my musket. 1t was noticed
by one of my comrades who stood
within few feet of me, who, pat
ting me on the shoulder, exclaimed:

have won laurels sufficient to rec

ABOUT BARNARD'S
FINE HORSES
And Something Concerning
the Coming of the Famous
Morgans.
{ By Allen w. Thomson.)

Some of the best Morgans have been
kept at Barnard. The founder of
the breed, Justin Morgan" it is
understood, left foals in Barnard

several seasons at Barnard, and in
the same stable was kept his hest

1t can be understood that for
awhile the horses of Barnard were
mostly Morgans. There was quite a
large sorrel horse called the French
| Tiger. He was brought from Canada
and was kept several seasons at Bar

Hinduism.


Self remuneration is one of the
features of Hinduism. A writer
says: "The ascetic life is the natural
fruit of the pessimism of India. In
no other country is such transcend
ent merit attached to modification
of the flesh. Ascetics press their
martyrdom to almost incredible
limits. They will pass their days
outstretched upon a bed of spikes.
They will hold up an arm till it
withers in the socket. Literally
they treat the body as though it
were slave. The devotee is salut-
ed everywhere as maharaja. Men
of wealth and position constantly
in their declining years resign their
possessions to their heirs and wait
for death in nakedness and poverty
by the Ganges at Benares. Nay, it
is no uncommon thing that young
men, the products of our universi-
ties, should relinquish their inter-
ests and their ambitions and join
the wandering army of devotees
who, literally in sackcloth and
ashes, seek grace in an unending
round of pilgrimages."

Far from the city's crowded mart,
From Mammon's shrine and Fashions
show.
With beaming brow and loving heart,
In cottage-homes they dwell apart,
Free as the winds that blow.
OF all the sister States that make
This mighty Union, broad and strong,
From Southern gulf to Northern lake,
There's none that Autumn days awake
To sweeter harvest-song.
And when the cold winds round them blow,
Father and son and aged sire
Defiant of the drifting snow,
With hearts and hearths alike aglow-
Laugh round the wint'ry fire.
On Champlain's waves so clear and blue,
That circled by the mountain lies,
Where glided once the light canoe,
With shining oar, the waters through.
The mighty steamboat plies.
And now among those hills sublime,
The car doth thunder swift along,
Annihilating space and time,
And linking theirs with stranger cline
In union fair and strong.

Thompsonville, Aug. 22-Late yes terday afternoon an automobile drove up in front of a cafe here owned by Patrick Burke, and a young man about thirty years of age, got out and went into the place and asked for MT.
