BESSIE'S FAITH.
Little Bessie's papa
Is an advertising man
Who talks hie business everywhere
Everywhere he can.
Little Bessie heard him,
Heard him talking ads,
And became a loyal oonvert
To that theory of herded's.
And like her good papa,
Believed that everything desired,
Could be had by advertising
When properly inspired.
One day there oame a babe,
To fib the house with joy,
A great big bouncing baby,
A ten -pound baby boy.
And when Bessie saw her brother,
.As she tip -toed on the mat
And saw the baby, she said, "Mammo,
Did you advertise for that?"
The Crimes of Corea,
--
PUNISHMENT METED OUT TO TRAITORS.
Treason is no where so terribly re-
warded as in Corea. My blood runs
cold when I think of the punishment
which will be meted out to those who
have rebelled against the king, should
the Chinese become victorious, and his
majesty's corrupt officials be allowed
to carry out the laws which now exist.
HOW THIEVES ARE TREATED.
All sorts of crimes are terribly pun-
isked in Corea. The truth about such
matters is kept, as far as possible, from
the foreigners, and you will find little
information about prisons and punish-
ment in any of the hooks on Corea.
I am, I believe, the first American who
has visited the Corean prisons. They
s ate as had almost as the hells into
which I looked in some of the interior
cities of China. I can't reconcile the
cruelties I saw with the many noble
qualities which I find among the Core-
ans. They are in some ways the most
polite and most refined people. They
are lovers of poetry and flowers. They
are particular as to.etiquette, and their
souls in most ways are as refined as
ours. Still, these punishments are
such that they would be 'a disgrace
to the most ignorant and savage na-
tions of the African wilds. Corean
thieves are decapitated for their crimes.
They are only cut into two pieces,
however, and the law provides that
their bodies need not lie on the execu-
tion grounds longer than two days be-
fore their relatives can take them
away and bury them. The thief,when
be is first taken, is flogged by the offic-
ers. He is then asked as to his crime,
and after this is taken to the house of
the judge. The judge demands what
he has done with the property, and if
the thief replies that it has been sold,
and gives the name of the party who -
has it, it is confiscated. He is then
taken to jail and kept there for 100
days. At the end of this time the po-
lice give him the option of life or death.
If he accepts life ,he becomes a servant
of the jail for the rest of his existence;
if death, he is strangled.
QUEER METHODS OF STRANGLING.
This strangling is done in a curious
way. There is a hole in the door of
the' cell just large enough for a piece
of rope about the size of a clothes line
to pass through. A noose is made at
the end of the rope, and this noose is
placed around the criminal's neck.
The other end of the rope is put
through the hole of the door or the
wall, and the police pull at the rope
until they bring the man's chest and
neck above and below the hole, and
until the neck breaks and the man is
dead., The queetion as to whether a
thief be strangled or decapitated de-
pends upon the nature of the offense.
Strangling is much the more respect-
able way of dying. Sometimes this is
brought about by hanging. The thief's
neck and hands are tied to a post, so
that his feet are some distance above
the ground. About his ankles a stout
rope is then' fastened, and to this a
stone, several times as heavy as his
body, is hung. Of course the man dies.
KILLED BY A SHEET OF PAPER.
Another method of execution is by
suffocation, and this, strange to say, is
done with parer. The man is laid flat
upon his back, and a sheet of Corean
paper is spread over his face. This
has been soaked in water, and fits over
the man's face, being pressed down so
that it makes a veritable death mask,
shutting out every bitof air, and the
man dies. And one who has seen the
paper of Corea will appreciate how
easily this form of execution could he
carried out. It is made by hand. It is
as thick as a sheet of blotting paper,
and ulrnost as strong as leather. When
rnoistu e is applied to it it becomes ex-
ceedin_•ly soft, but does not lose its
strengt' , and it would make an excel-
lent mo ding material.
A FAMILY BURIED ALIVE.
Amon the most terrible of Corean
crimes a •e those against your parents
or altcestors. There is a prison in
Seoul th t is devoted entirely to pris-
oners w o commit crimes against
their par nts. If a rich son refuses to
support a is father he can he sent to
jail, and t e boy who strikes his father
can be wh pped to death. The parri-
cide Is bu ed to death, and it is in

where the killing of one's parents sat?-

1= A certain -tttlhgiutrate- bad his aneea•
tral tablets stolen, an ohtense some-
what similar to the stealing of a man's
grandfather's gravestone to A.caerica,
but a really terrible thing to this su-
persaitious land of Corea, : The megie
trate arrested the auspectea Isla n and"
charged him with the robbery. He, re-
pliedd'4drat he liad had nothing to do
with it. He was put to Nature. Ilia
hands were tied behind' biblaand he
was hung up by his elhtwe, while his
feet are whipped. He refused to con-
fess. The magistrate became angry,
and he had the man's whole family
brought out and stoned. The man
still refused to confess, and he actually
buried the man and his family alive.
This was such a horrible outrage that
the people complained of the matter to
the Government. The magistrate,
however, had a friend at court, and
through the influence of the Prime
Minister nothing waaa doue to him.

THE POST -OFFICE AT SEA.
The system of Railway post -offices
has been found so successful, and a
means of saving so much valuable
time, that it has been extended to the
transatlantic steamships. This was
begun under Mr Wanamaker's admin-
istration as Postmaster -General, but
so far mail clerks havejonly been placed
on the American ships running to
Southampton, and on the German
ships that go to Bremen and Hamburg.
On each of the vessels of the lines
mentioned large staterooms have been
set aside and fitted out for the use of
postal clerks. Big racks of pigeon-
holes stand up against the walls, and
the mail -pouches hang from stands in
the centre of the room. In these post -
offices the clerks work from eight to
ten hours a day during the entire voy-
age, distributing the mails by cities
and States, when coming this way, and
by railroad lines when going to Ger-
many. On each ship there is one
American' clerk, one German clerk,
and a German assistant, The Ameri-
can is in charge going eastward, and
the German has charge of things com-
ing this way. .
•
These clerks, of course, are men of
energy and intelligence. They are the
best material taken from the postal
services of both countries. The Ger-
mans wear gaudy uniforms with mili-
tary caps and swords, and are called
by the high-sounding name of "Reichs
Post Secretaer." The American calls
himself a "sea post clerk." In spite of
the lack of gold braid and side -arms,
however, the Americans are the most
reliable men. It is said that when the
Eider went on the rocks on the coast
of Ireland last year, the "Reichs Post
Secretaer" grabbed his sword and made
for the life -boats. The American stood
to his business, and did not leave his
post until he had overseen the trans-
fer of the mails from the leaking ship
to a tug. These sea post clerks handle
about 140,000 letters and 60 sacks of
papers each trip; but in December and
January their work is almost doubled.

Yellow fever has been discovered on

In Russia people may not wed the,
fourth time, nor after they are 80 years
old. In France, the wife whose hus-
band objects seriously to het going on
the stage, makes herself liable to di-
vorce by persisting in her artistic de-
sire. In Germany and Roumania "in-
superable aversion" is enough. But in
Portugal civilization touches the high
water mark. There, if a wife publish-
es literary works without the hus-
band's consent, the law frees him at
once.
The New York Sun remarks that
post office regulations against accept-
ing foreign coins are disregarded along
the Canadian boarder, where the Can-
adian 25 cent piece has a wide and free
circulation on this side the line and is
accepted without hesitation by post-
masters. They accept even Canadian
bank notes, and there seems to prevail
a thorough international comity as to
money. Postmasters and nterchants
are astonished when visitors from re-
gions further south hesitate let accept-
ing Canadian money in change.
The long stiff' leaves of a pineapple
plant are so formed that a heavy`tlewt
or light rain will give nourishment to
the roots. Each leaf is a conductor
which leads the water to the heart of
the plant, where it collects in a dimin-
utive reservoir, allowing the plant to
drink the fluid at its leisure. It is not
rare tc see a small gteen frog sitting
in this pool of water, and he gazes at
the observer with a look of solid en-
joyment, as if the whole arrangement
was created for his special comfort.
An unusual result of the drought
was noticed in Stockbridge, Mass., the
other day. Some workmen heard a
robin uttering loud cries, and saw the
bird darting from branch to branch of
a tree in great excitement. Close ex-
amination showed a red squirrel sit-
ting on a branch close to the trunk,
holding a young robin in its paws.
The men threw stones at him to snake
him drop the bird, but he moved
around the tree. still bolding it. Fin-
ally he let it drop to the ground and
ran away. On picking the bird up it
was found to be quite dead and almost
drained of blood, the fierce little rodent
having satisfied his thirst at the cost
of the bird's life. Squirrels are known
to eat birds' eggs, but the long
drought is held responsible for this
crime.
