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.
