(Heaiet Special -Service.)--, Ping Tang, March 7. If age and his tory are to be taken into account, it Is a i oyer-road that leads - out of Seoul through the gap at Peking pass. To the north it leads half the length of the peninsula to the Talu, and then 'sweep ing westward rounds the head of the Yellow sea and finally arrives at Peking. Un the length of this road and down, have passed countless Chinese imperial convoys in all the splendor and' tinsel of barbaric trappings. It is Indeed a royal road, and yet, to n western eye and Judgment, a bog-hole and travesty-of what he has understood road" to mean. Let fall the least rain and it is a river of mud.' Horses and - riders must beware of its crasy bridges, and large opportunity Is given a steed to break a leg anywhere along its length.. . It is a dirt road t to begin with, and the Korean method of repair ing it is to shovel In more . dirt I use In" .advisedly, 'for too .many in .weary mile of it Is worn far down-beneath the level of the rice fields on either slde.

The effect was' like so much Ice drifting on' the surface of 'a black river. A- stalwart race are the Koreans, well muscled and towering above their masters, the "dwarfs" who , conquered then in the olden time and who look upon them today with eyes of posses sion.

As a I draught animal and packhorse,. he is a success. Yet. I am confident aye., willing to lay odda that my own breed can beat him at his own game; that my own breed, from what I have seen of It In w. . .v . ,1. 1.1 outpack him. and outwork him at coolie labor. In this latter connection I may state that three coolies are required to work an ordinary shovel. As one may see la Seoul any day of the year, one cooiie steers the shovel handle and two other coolies, sometimes three, furnish motive power by means of ropes upon which they drag. My two mapus, and they struck me as a little better than the average, required an hour to put the loads on the ponies. ana. then spent the rest of the day try ing to keep the loads from falling off. The. simplest act requires half an hour of chin-chin and chatter before it can be performed-and if left alone the Korean would prefer giving a day to preliminary discussion.. About, the only way. to break up this discussion la to x vociferate ' Ossaw, which' means "hurry up.".' and threaten to pull his topknot, or break his bead. For the Korean is .; nothing If- not a coward' and "his fear of. bodily .hurt Is about equal to his. Inaction. , The creation of any such word in his language denotes the need for that word. They, lack the word "quickness, and the need for It has given to the Korean vo cabulary a score of -words at least among which may be mentioned pat-pee. oi-iuiv- soik-kee, oll-phit koo-hee, nlng kom, bal-lee. and , cham-kan. and though Kipling 'has well) said that one mustn't hustle in- the east' these, are tha-first words which a while man learns.
