For cycles f and cycles she has been in the world, k : but not for it. Her people have been | .. born, have lived, have died, oblivious 1,, 'to all that was passing around them. L *• They might have been denizens of an- ip^j» other planet for aught they knew of f - , the history of this. And the years glided C ," into centuries, and the centuries grew SpT •' to be numbered by tens, and still the *,j * veil remained as tightly drawn as at the C ' beginning. It was but last year that Corea stepped as a debutante into the . society of the world." Having thus whetted our curiosity by a method as artistic as could have ^ been adopted by an Oriental story- ' teller, the author tells us where this ? wonderful land lies. On a large map ;; of the world there is a peninsula just to the west of the Japanese islands. This Iis the peninsula of Corea. It was only in 1876 that the Japanese succeeded in 1%?,*, * making the first treaty by which Corea ;• had ever deigned to acknowledge the existence of the outer world. Whence - came its people? Long beforo the S idea of the prime meridian had entered S the minds of men the races of Asia put ;; the birthplace of the day where we J,- have agreed to find it. Ther shaped 4 their course to the Bea from which the ^ sun rose. The Aryans Went west, cer­ tain of the Tvrian peoples struck east, but when they arrived at the seacoast '( * their advance was stopped, and they "V could only sit down and dream of an i. earthly paradise beyond the water. The Japanese at last ventured on the sea and risked their wav/|across the strait ' , that separates what Save become their . . islands from the Corean peninsula. Tr But beyond these islands was nothing save the everlasting blue. Every morn­ ing the sun rose from out the ocean, and so they named the land "The Day's '0 Beginning" long ago in the morning of the ages. A new horde from the north , - next came forth, tarried in the land, became part of it. Year after year, and century after century, passed away. The sun rose for them in peaceful splendor, and its beams flooded the valleys and nestled on the land. "Morn­ ing Calm" they called it. There are three treaty ports in Coreft, and by the revised Japanese treaty of 1880 and the subsequent treaties with . America, England, and Germany these three places have been opened to for­ eign trade--that is, when there is such a thing. The most important place in Corea is Seoul, and this is the chief place to which our guide takes us. * After having come to the United States, his native country, from Japan with the C Corean special mission in the autumn • of 1883, he went to Corea, reaching it in December of the same year, and *; •, spent the winter in Seoul as the guest : <>f his majesty. He describes very " ^humorously and graphically the two days' ride in a palanquin from the port of Chemulpo to Seoul, and says that when he first saw the walled city he never beheld anything that so com­ pletely realized the fancied of his boy­ ish dreams--the imaginations of the time when, as a lad, his thoughts sped away from the pages of the "Arabian Nights" to the dreamy Orient. It is, however, when the author comes to dis­ cuss the form and principle of govern­ ment in Corea, the patriarchal principle which prevails in family life, the posi­ tion of woman, the want of religion, and . other kindred topics, that he is seen at . his best as guide, philosopher, and ;: friend. The king of Corea is an absolute monarch. Divine by right, he is om­ nipotent through heredity. But his will, though law, is transmitted to the people through an elaborate system of magistrates.1 One man often holds many offices, but literature is the only portal to political power, and only after a man has passed several literary ex­ aminations and received his diploma can be be appointed to office.--Phila­ delphia "Record. : Wonders of the Sea. The-sea occupies tliree-fifths of the surface of the earth. At the depth of about 3,500 feet, waves are not felt. The temperature is the same, varying only a trifle from the ice at the poles to the burning sun of the equator. A mile do^n, the water has a pressure of over a ton to the square inch. If a box six feet deep were filled with sea water and allowed to evaporate there would be two inc! the bottom. Taking t of the ocean to be tl would be a layer of p- thick on the bed of tin.' water is colder at the bo] surface. In the man: of Norway, the wa the bottom before it Waves are very d at them in a storm, onsjpipiHnBmie tne \*nter traveled. The water stays in the same place but the motion goes on. Sometimes in storms these waves are forty feet high, and travel fifty miles an hour -more than twice as fast as the swiftest steamer. The distance from valley to valley is generally fifteen times the height, hence a wave five feet high will extend over seventy-five feet of water. The force of the sea dashing on Bell Rock is said to be seventeen tons for each square yard. Evaporation is a wonderful power in drawing the water from the sea. Every year a layer of the entire sea fourteen feet deep is taken up into the clouds. The winds bear their burden into the land and the wa­ ter comes down in rain upon the fields, to flow back at last through rivers. The depth of the sea presents an interesting problem. If the Atlantic were lowered C.,51'4 feet, the distance from shore to shore would only be half so great, or 1,500 miles. If lowered a little more than three miles, say 19,080 feet, there would be a road of dry land from Newfoundland to Ireland. This is the plain on which the great Atlantic cables were laid. The Mediterranean is com­ paratively shallow. A drying up of OtiO feet would leave three different seas, and Africa would be joined with Italy. The British Channel is more like a pond, which accounts for its choppy waves. It has been difficult to get correct soundings of the Atlantic. A midship­ man of the navy overcame the difficulty, and shot weighing thirty pounds carries down the line. A hole is Ixived through the sinker, through which a rod of iron is passed, moving easily back and forth. In the end of the bar a cup is dug out, and the inside coated with lard.

"Old 'Un," said the Deacon, "that was a good story of Honest Bob and the man who had a passion to be rich. It reminded me of another. When I was a roytish youngster about town, befoiv you were born--old as you are--we had a very grasping banker here. He was always on the alert to enlarge his busi­ ness connection, and it was the fashion to say of him that he cooked up most of his skinflint schemes in church. "Among the whole-souled commercial men in town was ftne that I will call Beckford. Skinflint hod loiig had a feeler out for Beckford's deposits, and one day he made a direct bid for them. " 'Come over and do business wicli us,' he said. "You can have any accom­ modation you want, but give us your business, old fellow.' "Beckford said he'd think about it, and a few days later he dropped in on Skinflint. " "I've decided,' he said, 'to transfer my account to your bank a$ your solici­ tation, and I want a line of discount.' "Skinflint's eagerness and pretended liberality suddenly cooled. " 'Wliv, certainly, Mr. Beckford. Glad to have you for a customer, biit lmsi-. ness is business, you know. We like to be sure of our ground, so if vou don't object it might be'well enough for you to make a sort of statement as ;to your capital. In short, how niucji do you consider vourself worth?' L " 'See liere, old Skinflint,' bridled tlie indignant Beckford. Ton solicited my business, confound you! But since I'm in for it I don't mind answering yon. What am I worth ? Well, blast you, I've got ten times--yes, fifty times--as much as yon have!' "Skinflint was taken way back. Beck­ ford was in very moderate circumstances and the banker didn't know what to make of his extravagant statement. He finally asked him w^iat he meant. " 'I mean, you old rip, that I have enough, and that's a thousand times more than you'll ever have. Here you are twice my age and you grab as eagerly now as you grabbed in youth. Oh, no, you'll never be worth as much as I am. It isn't in you. That's what I mean.' "I don't know that it has any partic­ ular relation to the story," added the Deacon, "but it is a fact that old man Skinflint died bv his own hand." "And Beckford?" "Turned banker himself, by George! and got rich, in fact. After he retired he went to New York and enjoyed his fortune like a jolly old brick as long as he lived. He left two or three sons, chips of the old block, w ho entered the law and who are to-day as successful as they are honored and honorable."-- Detroit Free Prcsx. Color and Complexion. The artist will employ for a brunette brilliant yellows and splendid reds. A jonquil-colored ribbon, a scarlet came- lia in the black tresses, a poppv-colored bodice, partially softened by Cliaiitilly lace, will give a dashing character to the figure so decorated, and instead of diminishing its effect, will add to it new force. • But if we have to deal with a delicate brunette with slightly jaded features, or a brunette whose skin is comparatively fair and eyes of a velvety black, we must no longer make use of striking and decided colors. Here, on the contrary, soft colors should be em­ ployed, especially pale blue, because that is the shade which approaches nearest to white, without having its rawness. If the hair of a blonde be golden or red, it ought without doubt to be ac­ companied by its complementary color, a dark violet velvet bonnet, a tuft of violets in the hair, a deep lilac dress, will go with it marvelously well. There is auother color which suits all shades of red hair--green of a medium inten­ sity. If the complexion of the blonde be delicate and fresh, an orange, Turkey, or ruby red will set off the freshness and delicacy, partly by simi­ larity, partly by contrast. Women wlto are placed, so to speak, in the half- shades of color, may wear either what suits brunettes or blondes, provided the tones of their dress and ornaments be subdued in proportion to the degree of warmth in their complexion. Pure yel­ low • or deep red would illy suit chestnut hair, even if dark: but half-tints, such as pale yellow, maize, deep yellow, tur­ quoise blue and hazy blue, would har­ monize well with the neutral character .atural colors. As to those hair, and skin in blue as the sea or te and extreme warm tints, with rav or slashings lvet gives them cting from the delicacy which are the Tstics of their complexion, and pearls form in their ornaments a happy consonance, provided their cold color is relieved by one that is decided, taste­ fully used and concentrated within a space, such as a polished but uncut gar­ n e t , a r u b y o r a t r i n k e t o f g o l d . -- " A r t in Ornament and Dress," from the French of Charles Blanc. Writ and Endurance, "The most desperate injuries men re­ ceive in the ring are npt, howeVer, the breaking of hands or arms, nor are those punishments, severe as they un­ doubtedly are, the ones under endur­ ance of which continued fighting is most wonderful. It is when a man is nearly beaten to death and stands up and fights, or, at least, takes the punish­ ment as long as he can stand up long enough to be knocked down, that he ?sliows the grand grit of a born fighter. There was that memorable tight in 1858 between Charles Lynch and Andy Kellv, for instance. Andy Kelly had to be killed to get liim whipped. He died on the steamlmat coming back to the city from the fight, which was tip on the Pallisades, if I remember arigh* just now. His ribs and his lungs and head were all stove in, and yet he fought on. He was so mashed up when the fight was over that John Morrissey turned from the sight of him, saying that it made him sick, and walked away unable to look at him. He fought as long as he could stand up, and Ms nerve ena­ bled him to stand up until he was prac­ tically dying. Andy Kelly was one of the gamest men that ever lived. And there was another old-time fighter, Jack McCoy, who was literally killed in the ling by Chris Lilly, in 1842. His backers lagged him to leave the ring while there was yet a chance of saving his life, but he refused to do so. 'I've come here to fight until I'm killed or win,' he said, or words to that effect, and killed he was."--Omaha Herald.

It is a process of mixing air with gas in such proportions that, while the danger of explosion is taken away, all the heat­ ing quality still remains. It will also leave the air of the rooms in which it is used in a healthy condition. PROF. CLEVELAND ABBE anticipates the tune when each citizen shall have the right to pay ten cents and demand his special weather telegram, precisely as he pays his two cents and demands to have his letter carried by mail. A few years ago the highest attainable proportion of correct prognostications was about eighty per cent.; now eighty- five per cent, is expected. THIS recipe for cementing iron is iven by an English mechanical journal: 'ake equal parts of sulphur and white lead, with about a sixth of borax; incor­ porate the three thoroughly. When about to apply it wet it with strong sulphuric acid, and place a thin layer of it between the two pieces of iron and press them together. In five days it will be dry, all traces of the cement h&ving vanished, and the iron will have the appearance of having been welded together. SIR WILLIAM THOMPSON has recently calculated that the average size of a chemical atom is not less than six, and not greater than sixty, billionths of a cubic inch. It has also been calcu­ lated that in a cubic inch of air there are 300,000,000,000,000,000,000 of atoms. Hence the cubic inch of air is by no means full, and it is possible for them to move eighteen miles a minute, and collide against each other 8.500.000 times a second, as has also been lately calculated that they do. THE latest thing in steam bicycles is the invention of a New Jersey man. The fuel used is gasoline, and is carried in a tank holding one pint, which is enough to run the engine an hour. The boiler is made of copper and brass, of the drop water tube type, with fourteen half-inch tubes ten inches long. It is a complete boiler, with anti-burning jacket, safety-valve, steam and water gauges, etc. The water-tank is in the form of a globe, and is fitted with a lit­ tle pump which feeds the boiler. The engine proper, including driving-pulley, weighs scant two pounds. The whole outfit weighs only eighteen pounds, and it is supposed to carry the rider along at the rate of twelve or fifteen miles an hour. GOODS are made to a considerable extent in Saxony from a textile fibre ob­ tained from the needles of the fir tree. The needles, young and green, are dried and subjected to a settling and ferment­ ing process similar to that in use for flax, which softens the woody parts and loosens them from the fibre, though the complete separation is only obtained after a lengthy boiling by steam. Dur­ ing this boiling a by-product appears, called fir-wood oil, which is similar to turpentine. The fibre is passed through a milling machine like those used for woolen cloth, and is carded and spun like cotton. Generally the carded fibre is mixed with a certain proportion of cotton or wool, and thus a kind of me­ rino yarn is produced, which is worked in the hosiery frames into singlets, drawers, stockings, etc., these fabrics being then sold as anti-rheumatic and as a preventive of gput. THE American Architect makes the suggestion that possibly the loss of the Oregon may have been due to the char­ acter of the steel plates of which the vessel was constructed, quite as much as the force of the blow which caused the break in her side. According to present ideas, it says, a steel plate, to replace with advantage the wrought- iron plates formerly used, should con­ tain so slight a percentage of carbon as to be soft, almost inelastic, and incapa­ ble of hardening by dipping, when red- hot. in cold water. * Steel plates of this kind show similar softness, toughness and strength to wrought iron, and should not have l>een so easily broken through as the plates of the Oregon were. But a few more pounds of carl>on to the ton will make the plates far stronger, stiffer and more elastic, but also much more brittle; and since the ideas of engineers in regard te mild steel have somewhat changed since the Oregon was built, it may be that the lirittleness of her plates contributed to the disaster which caused her loss. Tree Planting in the United States. From a paper on the woods of the United States and their destruction, in the Century, Mr. J. E. Cliamberlin sums up as follows: "The reasonable conclusion of the whole matter would seem to be that w hile there is no serious menace to the eastern half of the United States through the loss of for­ ests, there is good reason to urge the preservation of as much of them as pos­ sible and the encouragement of new plantations; while in the western half of the country the immediate with­ drawal from sale of the whole body of forests belonging to the government ia highly desirable. There should be an exhaustive inquiry, at the hands of a competent government commission, into the subject of the extent of forests be­ longing to the government, their loca­ tion, value, character, etc., the propor­ tion of private lands now wooded, and the apparent dependence or independ­ ence. as the case may be, of all sections of the country upon the modifying ef­ fect of forests. Exact information is now needed, which could scarcely be obtained except through the efforts of such a commission. "Sentimental considerations, I sup­ pose, are to be held secondary to the practical in the matter; but they are powerful, and should be aroused in be­ half of no object more readily than the woods, which have occupied s-> large a place in the sentimental life of man from the earliest times." Hancock and the Little Girl. The bravest are the tenderest. On the day after Gen. Hancock was de­ feated for President, a little girl named Yirgie Wcntz, living in Lancaster, this State, wrote him a letter of condolence. This letter he answered, and letter fol­ lowed letter until the correspondence numbered upwards of fifty by tli? time the general died. Upon one occasion when he was passing through Lan­ caster she heard of his coming and hurried to the depot to see the hero and, if possible, meet him. She did meet him, and the meeting was an affectionate one. A large crowd had gathered at the train, and distinguished people pressed forward for a shake of his hand, and while he was cojirteous and agreeable to all, he had more attention for that cliild than he had for anyone else, and when the train was about to start and he lifted her little form in his strong arms and kissed her good-by the people cheered, for they saw how ten­ der-hearted a brave man is.--Carlisle (Pa.)

Too much cannot be said against the cruelty of forcing children's feet into short and narrow-toed shoes. A man in a large and fashionable shoe store said that he sometimes used all nis strength, thatot a well-developed man, to force large feet into small shoes for grown folks, but when he was request­ ed by mothers to put shoes too small on children he objected. Many chil­ dren, ten years eld, have incipient corns, bunions and callouses, caused by the foolish pride or carelessness on the part of the mothers. Many do not know that, if a child's foot is allowed to develop naturally, when $>lly devel­ oped it can wear with ease a much smaller shoe than when crowded back and forced out of shape while growing so fast. The foot is part of the body that completes its growth early. The size of the feet of a growing boy are sometimes notably large; when the rest of his body has finished its growth the feet are -proportion ate. If a growing foot is crowded into short shoes, the toes are pushed back and become thick at the ends. They are pressed up against the top of the shoe and corns are mode. They are enlarged at the great and little toe joints, causing bun­ ions, which are more painful than corns. Narrow-tOed shoes cause lap­ ping of the toes, callouses, and corns, especially on the side of the large toe and under the widest part of the foot; ingrowing toe nails are also produced. Corns can not be bured so long as pres­ sure is on them. This must first be re­ moved. A man who suffered terribly with corns said he would do anything to cure them. His friend said: "You are going np into the mountains; go barefooted this summer." He did so, and his feet were entirely cured. An­ other cut the tops of the shoes away, leaving the soles and the leather back of the toe joints and toes.--Good Housekeeping.

At intervals of a few years the Bra­ zilian colony of ljourenco suffers from a remarkable visitation of field-mice, the latest of which, in 187(i, has just been described by Dr. H. Von Hiring. These creatures, ordinarily not numer­ ous, appeared in enormous quantities, and in a few days destroyed the fields of corn, potatoes, clover, oats, barley, gourds, pumpkins, and even weeds, actually damaging houses to a consid­ erable extent and ruining furniture and clothing. The periodical occurrences of these plagues seems to be due to the chief food supply of the mice, the seeds of the bamboo-grass, which at regular intervals of six to thirty years matures over a large territory, and then disappears The field-mice in­ crease so rapidly that, if all the con­ ditions which keep them in check were removed, a single pear would bear a progeny of 23,000 individuals in a sin­ gle summer, and every living thing upon the earth would be consumed in a half-dozen years. According to the testimony of physicians and coroners, in nil parts of the Union, deaths have resulted from the use of cough syrups, containing morphia, opium, and other poi­ sons.

Throw a little more life in the character. Just imagine it was all real. What would you do were I to come home in a state of inebriety about midnight?"
