 Justice is not always tempered with
 mercy in the punishment of criminals and many punishments are still bar porous. One is the Kang a heavy | board with hole cut in the top | through which the head is inserted. 1 The criminal wears these for days
 at time, being compelled to walk
 and sleep in them. Decapitation is
 common, not only of the criminal himself, but of some of his family as well. Sometimes the criminal is | strangled while his wife who is per
 fectly innocent of the crime, is
 poisoned.
 l Seoul is the capital and a great city.
 It is sometimes known to foreigners
 as the Soul of Korea" It is sur rounded by high wall with a number | of picturesque gates. ii is beautifully
 situated and has population of about | 2O0,0 The streets are wide and | the houses built with great ditches, | which are almost always filled with | garbage. Strictly speaking there are | few temples in the city and it is the | homes of the natives which makes 1t 1 interesting for they are usually one | story and where there is a business
 conducted the family live in the rear. 1 The markets are conducted at the
 gates and are wonderfully interesting
 as the white robed merchants move about. People walk in the middle of 1 the street and chatter in that peculiar | dialect of the country. There are
 plenty of soldiers and men just walk ing about smoking as though 1t was a great city just knocked off from work. | American Intersts
 America has some business interests in Korea for the American gold mine
 at Un-san employs a few white men, seventeen Japanese, over three hun 1; dred Chinamen and four thousand
 Koreans. The concession to the American company is eight square
 miles. The American trade with Korea embraces kerosene, flour, railway and } mining supplies, clothing, sheeting and cotton yarn. The Americans arc also interested in the street car line in } Seoul about the livest thing in Korea. 2 Poor Koreai Japan seems deter mined to swallow her up for keeps.

ILLUMINATED TACKs GUIDE YOU

NN NE of the clever new inventions that surely somebody ought to " have thought of years ago. is sharp-poInted, flat-headed tack like an artists thumbtack, but so treated with some luminous substance that the tack glimmers quite visibly in the darkest room These radiant tacks will be or inestimable value to householders. No more fumbling for keyholes and cleo tric light buttons in the dark. Even ing visitors can find the door-bell with out the least difficulty. If you wake up in the night and want the matches there they are just under that 2un- inous tack which you thrust in the wall over the matchbox. The glimmer- ing tacks may be used to locate awk- ward corners of back stairways. low door lintel in the cellar and other things in the house that have some times heretofore caused scraped ankles. banged shins, bumped heads and stumbles-to say nothing of nut tered profanity

and even uninhabitable by the pres enceeof the malaria-carryir 2 mosquito.
 But science has taken up the fight against this mischief. and surely though slowly malaria is being con- trolled. It is simply matter of elim- mating the Anopheles mosquito, and to this end various methods are being adopted. the most effective being ditching and draining. whereby the breeding places of the pestiferous in- sect are done away with. The de struction of the malaria germ in the human host by the use of quinine is also of considerable service.
 "In the long run. the control of malaria will mean the saving Of ir- calculable human suffering, and the prevention of enormous economic losses.

if the sufferers are promptly take in hand.
 "One of the worst of the diseases of old-time wars was hospital gan grene,' which became epidemic in hos pitals, the wounded men literally rot ting to death. As we now know, this afiiction was usually carried from patient to patient, and often by the military surgeons themselves, who conveyed on their hands the germs from one sufferer to another.
 Relatively little has been heard Of hospital gangrene during the recent conflict, for aseptic and antiseptic methods have practically abolished it.
 Saving again. Wherever lives are saved, or sickness if prevented, there is saving of earning power and of cost in other ways. Reduced to terms or mere money. it means thrift.

the Japanese. United States States succeeded in making treaty with Korea and General Foote was sent as first minister to the little kingdom Then came difficulty between Japan and Korea and finally China was mixed in the affair. The next move ment was a declaration of Korea for the Koreans, which caused a gun boat to be sent from the United States to settle matters. In 1882, however another treaty between Korea and the United States was made. This was followed by treaties with many of the European countries. The next trouble was the war between Japan and China and Korea became en- meshed in the disturbance, but 1t was not until after the Russo-Japanese War that she fell a prey to Japan's power. The murder of Prince Ito, the first resident General, through alleged Korean conspiracy only hurried the abolition of all Korea's political pow CTS by Japan and ever since the day of the formal annexation, August 23 1910, Korea has suffered all the ignominy of a defeated nation.
 While in the improvement of the country Japan has made some prog ress; good roads have been built, fri gation developed, sanitation improved and telegraphic and postal communi cation extended. These improve ments were made by enforced Korean labor and on confiscated land. The taxes were raised on the Koreans for this work, which the natives declare is for Japanese military purposes. Everything sold in market is taxed and market day in Korea is an ancient industrial institution always attended by hundreds.
 Japanese Cruelty
 Before Japanese rule appeared the Koreans sold their produce free of taxation, but now a tax must be paid on even the smallest farm product, in fact, the Koreans have nothing what ever to say about their laws and reg ulatiOns. Korea had a fine civiliza- ton centuries ago and a great library, but this library together with any number of art treasures which traced

The extreme north eastern corner is bounded by Siberia hence Russia's desire 10 get Korea 10 extend her borders farther west. The eastern shore is washed by the beau- uful sea of Japan. There are a few bays along the coast except Ginsan. where there is a landIocked harbor where a large fleet migh: anchor. On the western shore is the muddy vel low sea. There are so many islands nearby that Korea is often called the King of Ten Thousand Islands. The southern part of the island is sep- arated from Japan by the Strait of Korea not a hundred miles wide.
 Dominated By Japanese
 At present the country ia completely dominated by the Japanese. Conflict ing stories are being received in the United States as to the treatment of the Koreans by their recent conuuer- ors. Some reports would indicate that outrages are being committed similar to those committed by the Germans on the Belgians whilst oth- CTS show that Korea under the new regime will make rapid progress in the arts of civilization. They are of the same race as the Japanese, al- though their language or dialect is entirely different.
 It would seem that the natural ave nue to progress was through Japanese Influence and direction. but the seri- ous question in the interest of per- manent peace and prosperity is wheth- CT Japan can be trusted to use her increasing power and influence to- ward the maintenance of friendly rela- tions with the other powers.
 It would be a magnanimous act for Japan to grant Korea autonomy and give them a voice in administering the affairs of their country, but this they will never do unless forced to do so by other powers. yet in their efforts to become the world power of the East they must remember that taxa- tion without representation is tyranny and that a soldiers rifle will never

Not until very recently was it known that the common carrier of the tetanus germ is the horse. The bacillus breeds in the intestines of that animal. whose droppings infect the soil. If soil thus infected gets into a wound. 1ockjaw' is liable to result. But the army surgeons. aware of the danger. administered a proven tive serum derived from the blood of the horse itself. the animal being inoc- ulated with repeated doses of the germs until its vital fluid was thor oughly loaded with a specific sub stance which counteracts the lockjaw poison generated by the germs.

A Little Talk By Surgeon General Rupert Blue Civ ing in Detail Some of the Staggering AmOuntsSpent Yearly To Fight Disease Science is Winning, Slowly But Surely.

0 ICkNESS is the most expensive N thing in the world. Not only is it " destructive of happiness. but it
 costs money" said Rupert Blue. Surgeon-Goneral of the Public Health Service.
 Take typhoid fever for example. Theie are over 100000 cases of it an- nualty in the United States. and in twelve-months it kills in this country more than 10000 people.
 Reckoning loss of wage-earning capacity. expense of medical attend ance. undertakers' bills. etc. this one disease costs us s7O,OO0.OOO per an. mum.
 "A century ago typhoid fever was called 'putrid fever and the death rate from it was far greater than now adays. Today we know LOW to deal with it. and even how to prevent it. Consequently the number of deaths it causes is steadily diminishing. and the expectation is tha: before very long it will be to a great extent re- moved from the list of perils that threaten the safety of mankind.
 Pure Waste
 Disease. like war. is pure waste. It's prevention. by which human lives are saved and the incidental costs avoided. Is the best kind of thrift
 "During the Spanish War we had 120,00O men in the field and in mili- ta-y camps. Among them. in that brief period, there were 2O.73O cases Of typhoid fever End 1880 deaths from that malady.
 Tn the recent gigantic conflict we had more than 3.OOO.O0O men in camp and field. and the death rate from typhoid fever was so small as to be almost negligible. This was due not only to sanitary precautions. but also to a new dlscovery-preventi inocu lation. Every recruit was 'vaecinated against typhoid fever and also against two varieties of a similar disease called 'para-typhoid fever caused by related germs.
 SHere was a saving of waste cd ar immense scale. And a vast deal ot furthe- ceViuE of human life and health was accomplished by like methods adopted in dealing wi'f trench fever and typhus fever (botf
