It was u quaint and Interesting procession that passed outside. The most striking tiling about the Ko rean is the way he walks. He car ries himself better than the men of any place I know. There is practically nothing to indicate to a stranger dif ference of rank, but as you watch a man coming along the street there is a slight swing, redolent of immense dig nity, that points out the patrician to the most casual onlooker. Some of them look as if they were always walk ing up the center of a palace chamber to the dais amid admiring eyes. It is not swagger, but a very quiet, super lative self consciousness of their own , worth and position. The young “yang ban,” or noble, Is a delicious study. No London. Paris or New York swell, flaneur or dude is in it with him. His white suit is spot less—there is not a hair straying from his “mangkun,” a crownless skullcap of horsehair and fastened so tightly as to produce a permanent groove In his skin and frequent headaches, to be borne for the sake of fashion. On this ! his hat, also of horsehair, is poised and tied under his chin by black ribbons. If he has brown hair It has been dark ened with lampblack to the fashionable shade. He is invariably attended by i a servant; he carries nothing for him self, not even his pipe. Even going to school their books are carried for them. When he travels he is attended by as many servants us he can possibly inus- 4 ter. When he rides, he does not even ^ hold the reins of his diminutive horse. If anybody has a message for It is led, and servants attend him on # the people of this community * ! either side of the high saddle on which' he cannot deliver it to them so 4 i h <; ^ Perched. Seoul simply swarms with these young dudes, who come up from all parts of the couutry to this center of that political intrigue In which the yang ban lives, moves and has Ids being. He never in all his life does any work himself. This would be the worst of bad form and altogeth er infra dig, but he is not above being supported by his relatives and will even wink at the fact of ids wife at home surreptitiously taking in washing to earn a little toward the household expenses of perhaps a big pretentious yameu, covering a lot of ground and in a chronic state of dilapidation and decay. These yang bans are the curse of Korea. The common people are woe fully oppressed by them. If a peasant is known to have accumulated u little money it is not long before the local yang ban comes down on him, perhaps nominally, for u loan, which is never repaid, or perhaps for a levy pure and simple. If the hind objects he is promptly taken to the yang ban’s ya- men and kept there until he pays, or else he Is imprisoned on some trumped up charge and kept locked up until his a : relatives produce the required amount. One great peculiarity of the streets of Seoul is that during the daytime practically no women are to be si^en about Oue occasionally sees an odd ! woman of the lower class, dressed very j much as the men, but wearing her cloak over her head, holding it with Why pay from $3.96 to $7.00 for her hands so as to conceal the lower Pastel or Water colors without frame part of her face.

There is now standing only one stronghold in England In which Mary, queen of Scots, was imprisoned, and that is Bolton castle. It was built by the Lord Scrope who was lord chancel lor in 1379. It was at Bolton castle that the Duke of Norfolk, then head of the Roman Catholic party, ns is now the present Duke of Norfolk, made the proposal of marriage to Mary by which he hoped not only to serve the faith, but to make himself king. Instead of bringing him to the throne it brought him to the scaffold. Mr. John W. Meng, 54 Jefferson Are., Indianapolis, Ind., State Representative of Indianapolis Business College, writes: M I firmly believe that / owe my fine health to Peruna. Constant travel and change of food and water wrought havoc with my stomach, and for months i Buffered with Indigestion and catarrh of the stomach. / felt that the only thing to do was to give up my occupation which I felt very reluctant to do. Seeing an ad. of Peruna as a specific for catarrh / decided to give It a trial, and used ft faithfully for six weeks, when / found that my troubles bad all disappeared and I seemed like a new man. I have a bottle of Peruna In my grip all the time, and occasionally take a few doses which keeps me In excellent health. John W. Meng. It sometimes happens that wrath discourages a soft answer.

Whooping Cough. “In the spring of 1901 my children had whooping cough.” says Mrs. D. W. Capps, of Capps. Ala. “I used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy with the most satisfactory results. I think this is the best remedy I have ever seen for whooping cough.” This rem edy keeps the cough loose, lessens the severity and frequency of the cough ing spells and counteracts any ten dency toward pneumonia.

Nervous Dyspepsia Cured by Rydale’s Stomach Tablets. 1 Mr. R. E. Jones, buyer for Parker ! & Bridget, whose large department stores are located at 9th and Penn. Ave. Washington, D. C., writes, under j •late of April 14, ’04, as follows: Last February, one year, while in New York on business for my house, I caught a severe cold, which laid me up for weeks and left me weak and ! nervous. I had little or no appettite. and my digestion was very poor. My physicians could not get at the cause of my trouble, as my digestion seemed so much impaired. I decided 1 to try Rydale’s Stomach Tablets, be ing assured by a friend they were a good dyspepsia medicine. I began to i realize that I was getting better. 1 1 gave up the doctor’s prescription and have gained 20 pounds while using two boxes of these tablets. I never felt better in my life, and accredit Rydale’s Stomach Tablets with hav ing cured me. I can recommend them most heartily, to sufferers from ner vous indigestion and general run down condition of the system.
