KOREANS HAVE
CURFEW FOR MEN
Rev. c. Andrews, Missionary,
: Addresses National Geo.
graphic Society.
QUEER NATIVE CUSTOMS
Men of 'Iand of Morning Calm"
Tell Time by Number of
Pipes They Smoke.

That the curfew rings for men in Korea
was the statement of Rev. c. Andrews.
of the American Museum of Natural His
tory, who lectured yesterday afternoon
and evening on IAN Explorers Expert
ence in Little known Portions of Korea"
before the National Geographic Society
at the New Masonic Temple. The ad-
dress was illustrated with lantern slides.
The curfew rings for the men shortly
after sundOwn, so that the women may
have few hours of liberty. The women
of Korea. according to Mr.. Andrews,
are virtually prisoners In their own
homes, and they are kept so scrupuIously
out of sight of other men that when a
man intends to go on the roof of his
Eouse for little rest or stroll he first
notifies his neighbors in order to give
them time TO remove their women folks.
Since the Japanese protectorate the cur
lew has ceased ringing, but has not con-
siderably changed the status of the
women.
Society Like ID. A. r..
Korea, said the speaker. has a patriotic
society which may be compared to the
Daughters OF the American Revolution in
this country
Fashion plays quite a part in mans
and woman's life in Korea, said Mr.
Andrews No man considers himself re-
specially attired unless he wears a hat
shaped like a miniature silk hat, made
OF horse hair. This hat is worn morning.
noon. and night at functions and is only
removed upon retiring.
The Korean is no slave TO time as he
does not know or care to know what
watch is. He tells the time by the
number of pipes he smokes or by the
slant of the rays OF the sun. White men
were a curiosity in Korea until a few
years ago. and Mr. Andrews said that
when he Travelled i'm the northern part OF
X Orea he traveTsed country where no
white man had set foot before his ad-
vent. He was curiosity to the natives.
Speaking of the influence of the Jap
anese government in Korea, Mr.. Andrews
said that the rising generation is taught
by Japanese teachers and is taught
Japanese methods and civilization. The
influence of Japan is visible everywhere,
continued the speaker. and that Japan
is prepared TO defend Korea from a
possible attack from Russia is shown
by the fact that there are stationed $50
miles from VladivostOk 1900 Japanese
soldiers. who can take the field at
notice.
