"O THE natives Of Korea, the
world is populouS with active
and malevOlent beings who are
ready at any moment to fall
upon them in wrath. according to u
statement made by DIR. |. NJ. CasanO-
wicZ, assistant curator of old world
archaeology of the United States Ma
tiOnal museum, concerning the para
phernalia of a Korean SorCeress now
deposited in the museum collections.
Doctor CasanOwicz says the Koreans
believe that these beings or spirits
haunt every tree, mountain and wa
tercOurSe; are on every roof, fireplace
neys. living rooms and kitchens; that
they beset them at home and waylay
them when abroad. They seem to be
everywhere at all times and make
their lives miserable. To their influe-
ence the Koreans attribute every i'll,
all bad luck, official malevOlence, loss
of power or position, and especially
sickness; demons, consisting of self
existent malicious spirits and spirits
Of departed impoverished persons who
died In distress, and spirits whose ne
lures are partly kindly, which include
the ghosts Of prosperous and good peo-
pie, but even the latter appear to be
easily offended and extraordinarily Ca
PRECIOUS.
Two Glasses Of Sorcerers.
To cope with these two forms Of
spirits and be assured of little peace
and quiet. the Koreans have two
classes of sorcerers. or, as they call
them, "shamans the Pansu anG the
Mutang. Both classes are mediators
between the people and the spirits, but
they bear little relation to each other.
The former are "fortune-tellers," and
the latter, the "deceiving crowd" or
bad lot" In this connection, Doctor
CasanOwicZ said:
"The Office Of the PanSu Is restrict
ed to blind men, perhaps owing to the
common belief among primitive peo-
pies that those who have been de-
prived of physical sight have been Civ
en- an inner spiritual vision. The Mu-
tang is always Il woman, generally
from the lower classes and of bad re-
pute, and her calling is considered the
very lowest In the social scale. While
the Pansu Is. rs 1t were, born or made
by dint of his loss of eyesight, the Mu-
tang enters upon her office in conse-
quence Of a supernatural CALL con-
sisting in me assurance Of demOniacal
possession, the demon being supposed
to have become her double and to have
superimposed his personality upon
hers.
Pansu Is Master Of Spirits.
'The Pansu acts as master of the
spirits. having gained by his potent
formula and ritual an ascendancy over
them. BY his spells he can direct
them. The Mutang Is supposed to be
able to influence them with her friend
ship with them. She has to pray to
them and coax them to go. BY her per-
formances she puts herself en- rapport
with the spirits and is able to ascer-
tain their will and to name the ran
som for which they will release the
victim who is under torment
More varied than the functions Of
the Pansu are the paci1catiOns and
prOpitiatiOnS, called kauts or kuts, per-
formed by the Mutang. The kaut may
be carried out either at the house Of

packing Co. MANAGER
Sees NO EARLY CUT
IN Price OF MEATS

l. E. Striewig, manager OF the local
branch Of Armour and Company, has
returned from weeks business trip
to Chicago where he learned consid-
cradle about food conditions in all
parts Of the country, devotlng all his
time in the various departments of
the big packing house in that city 10
thoroughly acQuaint himself on mar
kel conditions and what the future
holds out in the way OF prices.
Mr.. Str ewig found that indications
point to no lowering in the prices OF
vegetables and the same applies to
meats. He said that while IN the west
he placed an order for several thous-
and cases OF sauer kraut. only 70 learn
on his return to Wilmington that Il
would be impossible to get near the
amount he bought He was notified
that the cabbage acreage would be
cut in half this year. This is but one
instance he cites OF what may be
looked forward 70.
The high point in price Of hogs, 4"
said Mr.. Striewig. was reached in
Chicago on Saturday last. when pork
] was sold at $151O the hundred. while
at Omaha $3.50 was the mark reach
ed The meat market is unsalsfac-
tory, and applies to beef as we'll as
pork There is no speculation in
meats. existing conditions being due
entirely TO a shortage
Many people, he said ARE OF the
opinion that the big packers are re
sponsible for any increases in price
of meats. which is a wrong impress
sion Any person or firm can go into
the Union stock yards, tho largest in
the country, and buy stock on the
ho0f, Just as Armour & Company and
other large packers do, the stock be-
ing sold TO the highest bidder in every
instance.
Armour & Company has no more
control over the Union stock yards
than any individual buyer has. 1t is
simply Il case of going there TO buy
what you want and pay for your pur-
chase with a certified check before
being permitted to remove the stock
from the yards"
Mr. Striewig sees no relief in the
pr ce Of lard. the hogs row COMING
into the stock yards being light and
giving but two and one half pounds Of
leaf lard each. against five pounds

prices. if anything. will be higher
