STRANGE TO WESTERN. EYES
HABITS and Customs Of .'Hermit KnfS
dom" Of Korea Hard for Travel
ers to Understand.

Out into the fellow sea and the
Eastern sea juts a peninsula Of more
than $4,000 square miles. 1t is an ex-
tension of Manchuria. and for ca,-
turtles was under the suzerainty OF
China.
In old aliases the peninsula is called
Korea. For years It was known as
"The Hermit Kingdom" For after
the China-Japanese war the land be-
came an Independent kingdom. sk
though even then Japan claimed juris'
diction over the country. But Korea
enjoyed her freedom only "a short
time as an independent nation.
It was on August %, 1913, that
Japan formally annexed Korea. as an
integral part of the kingdom. The
old name was changed to Chosen. In
Japanese this name is divided into two
syllables-Cho Sen. This means 1.-THE
Land of the Morning Calm"
Perhaps no other name would better
suit the land which was once called
the Hermit kingdom, for its people
are indeed very calm. So calm have
they been considered by Japan that 1t
isn't generally known there was some
opposition to the annexation Of the
kingdom, and that republic was
formed and a president elected. The
president, it is said, was compelled to
fee the country.
Many are the strange customs OF
ehic old little land At one time the
king ordered all men to wear broad
brimmed hats made of material 50
brittle the men couldn't "get their
heads together without nicking their
hats. And so. the story runs con-
spiracy was prevented.
But the mileposts of Chosen are not
made of brittle material. They are
painstakingly hewn- out Of wood. ard
are set up along the highways. carved
with Chosen characters. which give
the traveller the information he re-
quires for safe journey.
To the eyes Of many western
traveller these mileposts look more like
images intended to frighten than
soothingly to inform. OF course, the
particular demon that should be pla-
Gated in each spot is properly pla-,
Gated by the posts. And so these
| Chosen mileposts serve the double
purpose of informing human travellers
and warning off those demons who
might trouble the highway. - Temple
Manning in Columbus Dispatch.

China's Needs Are Great.

Sydney Greenbie writes in the
Worlds Work:
China needs assistance. Railroads
are the worlds salvation and China's
sorrow. But for the lack Of railroads,
China would today be the most pow
erful nation on earth-financialiy and
politically. And the fact that her rail-
roads are short while those of other
countries are long makes her prey
to those tentacles of trade against
which she is helpless. China has to-
day only about $500 miles of railroad
she needs 100000. She who built the
rambling walls has still only foot.
paths. She needs 100000 miles OF
highway. Her canals, which a thou
sand years ago kept the country open
to trade and partially free from famine
have fallen into disrepair. She needs
telegraphs, telephones, wireless. II
only the money she borrowed went
into such enterprises China would re
pay the world a thousand fold.
