Korea Is n mountninnus peninsula with Mnnchurla nnd Siberia on tho north nnd the Islands of Japan on the south. The people of Korea, about 12, 000,000 In number, are a semi-civil-Izeil race of Mongolians, though not closely related to cither tho Chinoao or Japanese. Their origin is lost in tho twilight of ages, and their more modern history is unrecorded. They are n tall, muscular peoplo, tho wo men being noted for their creamy, transparent skins, and for their un usually small feet and hands. Until quite recently they have re fused to allow nny foreigner to travel or reside in their country, being simllnr in this respect to the people of Thlbot. From tlmo to tlmo some dnring prowler, stimulated by sub lime curiosity, reached their terri tory, but none lived to toll of its wondors. As a nation among nations thoy have lived the life of a hermit, ask ing nothing and refusing everything. However, nil this is changed nlnco tho lato Chlno-Japancso war, nnd these people now deBlro to seo nnd know tho foreigner, Thoy aro still decidedly prejudiced ngalnst his ways, for, being of tho "outer king dom," his works aro necessarily evil. Little by littlo thoy aro adopting now Ideas, nnd aro becoming more communlcntlvo with tho outer world, says a writer In tho Los Angeles Times. This Is evidenced by tho fast that our manufactured goods now find salo there. Tho ono Import in great demand Is kerosene, for, until tho Standard Oil Company entered tho field, It was indeed, a kingdom of ifnrkness. Now thoy havo electric lights nnd an electric street railway in Seoul, tho capital, Americans own and op orato a steam railway leading from Seoul 2C miles to Chomulpo, Its sea port town; and tho Jnpnncso nro building another railway from Fusan tho southernmost hnrbor, through tho heart of tho country, with Seoul as an objective point. Thero aro savoral thousand Jap anese doing construction work on thU road at tho present tlmo, nnd It Is probablo that nearly all of them bolong to tho regular army aB scouts, and aro always ready to tako tho Hold at an hour's notice. All main camps aro constantly In touch with tho war ofilco In Toklo, both by wiro nnd by wireless tolegraph. Tho above facts' indicate tho thorough ness of the Japanese preparations for war. The Emperor. The government of Korea was originally framed aftor that of tho Chinese, and Is, therefore, bad from nn occidental's jvolnt of viow. There Is nn cmporor, whoao powor over the life nnd property of his subjects ts absolute, nnd thero nro two political parties. These aro called tho Ins nnd tho nuts; both names aro duly suggest Ivo. Tho Ins control tho person of tho emperor, nnd therefore hold tho reins of government. To discourage opposition thoy assasslnatu tho lead ing men of the nuts as fast as thoy develop. Tho platform of tho outs Ib equally simple. They plot to assnHsInoto the leading men of tho Ins and soizo tho government in turn. Should tho coup d'otnt provo successful, each party adopts tho plntform of tho other and takes a new start. , Stories of the Koreans. A capital story has been told by an America nmlsslonary, who hnB Just arrived In London from Korea. Tho difficulty of learning tho languago of that country Is Increased enormous ly, owing to tho largo numbor of words which, with n slight inflection of tho voice, nro used over nnd over ngnln with nn entirely dlfferont meaning. Tho missionary in question was prenchlng to some natives nnd as suring them that unlcrs they ro pontcd thoy would go to a plnco of punlflhment. Amazement rather than torror was written on tho fnces of his Orlontal listeners. Why on earth, Jf they rejected his ntlvlco nnd refused to repont, should thoy bo dispatched to the local postomco. On another occasion a loctiire was delivered, In tho course of which a beautiful moral wns being drawn from tho gay career of tho tiny but torfly which was suddonly cut short in tne clutches of tho spider, Tno siinllo, howovor, fell somo- wbot short of its intended meaning. and It wns not until tho laughter had Hubsldod that tho lecturer .bocamo awaro that the victim which had been floundering amid silken thrends of tho donkoy, which in tho guago, It nppoars, Ib with butterfly.
