1 have just received letters from Seoul
stathlj that mho Japanese have Inaugurate
their reforms and that the Corean govern-
ment Is rapidly changing. LInes of rall-
road have been planned , and the greedy and
barbarous efficlnls are being deprived of their
officell. Salaries : are to be fixed by law , and
rank III , to n certain extent , to bo done
away wllh The qucen's family , which embraces -
braces mho worst of the nobility , Is being
drIven to the background , and the king Is
taking all mnller : Into his own hands 1l
Is an open secret In Seoul that for years the
king has been a henpecked husband , and 1
heard mllllY storIes of the que 11'I1 jealous
dlsl , anion. Ills majesty had a number of
beaullful danch.g girls , who were now and
thou as Is the custom , called In to dance
before the court The king , who Is a rather
Uvely man of about 40 odd , has now and
then singled : out one of these and paid her
special attention , macho to the disgust of the
11l1een. lie has also carried on some Intrigues
of thIs kind unknown to her majest , and
the quarrels between \ the two on this account -
count have been frequent. Just before \ I
left Seoul one oC the high officials connected
with the court was caught by the queen
carryIng notes from the Icing 10 one of his
favorites , and silo at once sent him on a long
mlbsloll to southern Corea. lie was con-
uected with Imporlllnt 11\I1.111c works and all
of these had to stop on this account The
latest news Is that the king has cut en-
tirely loose from his wlfe'li apron strings
and \ that hll 18 now goIng to establish a
harem In lire palace , as was the custom In
0 Corea In the past , and liS IK the custom

'ihe : custom of the country Is such tllII
widows cannot marry again , and pretty
widows are carefully watclled , and If there
Is anything forward or bad In their actions
they are sometimes Iddnaped by the officials
and loll as concubines. The new laws
which are now proposed will take away this
restriction , and all marrlagcs , whether of
maids or wIdows , are to be left to the
volition Qf the parties concerned. They also
provide that there shall be no moro buying

The customs of mburnlng arc 10 be modified
and other changes which tend to the leveling
of the clllsses arc to be enacted. In the
meantime , there Is a decided opposition to
all reform , and a great many of the people
thlnlt the country Is going straight to , ruin
There Is 11 woeful lack of confidence iiI the
Japanese and the pro-Chlncso feeling Is
strong
TIlE EAST COAST OF COHEA
I want to tell you something about the east
coast of Ccrea. This Is but little known , and
most travelers have confined their visits to
the ports ) nearest ChIna. The peninsula Is In
the neighborhmootl \ of 200 miles wide , und In
crossing It I traveled 1I0rthwest through the
mountains and came out at Uroujhloa ; bay \ ,
or the harbor of Gensan This Is a magnlfl-
cent har\Jcr \ , and It Is much coveted by the
Rusaians , because It Is open all the year
round Their harbor on the Pacific Is thai of
Vladlyosloclt , on the lower edge of SIberia ,
which I visited after leaving Corea , and of
which I will write In my next letter VlnlI- ,
vostock Is frozen UII for about six months of
the year . and the Husslans want a winter
outlet 10 the 6ca. They are watching Gcn-
tian , and the Trans-Slberla'n rallread will probably -
ably have a bronchi runnIng ! down to it . The
trading hOUSI11 have agents at Gen-

In ahlll11lnl : and tra(1Ing ( Their house arc of
wood , with heavy tiled roofs , and their town
Is clean and well kept The Corean town Is
perhaps twice as large , but \ It Is a dIrty set-
llcment made up oC little one-story hatched

TilE OLD COm A.
The old Corea \ \ ' probably \ soon pass away ,
and the curious thIngs of which 1 have written -
ten may become a muller of history The
whole of the country Is so strange that I have
only been able to partially describe It , On
this trip across time country 1 saw all sorts
of queer customs Our eggs , I remember \ , wo
bought \Jy \ time slick , and In Corea eggs are
slllcled UII like cordwood \ , or rather , kindling
I
wood. 'fen eggs : are laid end to end , and
they are then wrapped about with straw , 90
that they stand out straight ; amt stiff and
look moro lllte a club than ejgil. ; In the stores
these slicks of eggs ; are piled ull crosswise ,
and the Price Is about 3 cents a slick ; : , or
about \ three - tentlms of a . cent per egj Chickens -
ems are peddled , about ! In crates or baskets
made or string and wood , anfish \ are often
eaten raw. 1 saw mall ) black \ hogs on the
trIll , and these were - venally lied hy strings
or ropes of the size rf a clothes line , which
ran through holes In the tOIl of theIr ears.
Time cattle we flllV were : very one large
animals , but theyy arc used ahnotit entirely as
brads orJurden. \ . They pull rude bullock \
carte , and carry packs on heavy wooden 68d.

rub oft tile skit , and lilY Illllrl was 8cened : )

A VISIT TO A DOG I1UTCIIEH.
There are dogs all cvsr Corea 'fhey lire of
a snowy white variety . , ! mnd are always snarling ; -
Ing and barking at foreigners , 'fhe poorer
classes &ometllnes use ylog ! - meat I1S food , and
during the hot dog ; , lays 1 was told that time
peso was a preventive against ague , malaria
and other slckneu. At this time thousands of
dogs are killed , EO "General" Pak told me , all
over Core-a. In ordinary times enly the poor-
est or the people eat the flesh of dogs. I v'-
Ited a dog butcher one day In the Corean cap-
Ital and watched him kill and dress one of the
curs for the market lie trilled , the dog In a
curious way. lie caught him as bc'rantbrough '
the door of the house by throwing a slip-
noose about his neck. The dog was a. rather
nice animal , of about time size oC an Irish set-
ter , and his fur was as'jray" ; , us tint of a
wolf. lie seemed to bc'\war ' ( of his dan-
ger and he tugged at " lime ' rope 'whleh soon '
tightened on his Ihreat. And ' then the bare-
armed butcher swung him oft his feet and
whirled him ' about In the street ! ac , the end
or the string till lire was exUn . ! . ' .Uo . next
laid the dog down on the ground : lnd"'stab\J ' \ d
him , as we stick ! a pig . Ho then hung hlni on
the wall of his hut and cut hIm up late dog
steaks , soup meats and roasts. Ill' asked me
If 1 did not want to try a tenderloIn , and
dished up a bowl from II pot of dog soup ,
which was cooking outsIde his hut , and asked
me to taste It. It did not look at all appe-
tizing , and I thanked him ' 1 1ld crt. !
HOW COlUMN WOMEN IRON CLOTHES.
Among many queer Corcan customs there Is
none stranger than that ' of Ironing .Ther are
no better dressed people In hc."wof1d'thin :
the Coreans. They wear Immaculat gowns ,
and the prevall'n ' costume Is white. The
common dress of the men Is made UII of along
Ions , full cotton gown , full white pantaloons
and wadded white stockings. These lire as
clean as the \Jest \ work of a Cl11nsae- laundry ,
and they are washed In cald water and Ironed
with a cold club. The women ,110 , nil the
washing and Ironing of the land 'fhey wrap
time garments around II slick , whIch Is laid
on the floor , and then one or two wcinen squat
down hp"It1A it ape pound on the- cloth with
round , smootlm : wooden : ' - ' clubs till 'everr fiber
has the polish and gloss of our best laundries .
'fliis does not seem to have hurt the cloth ,
and the clothes have a wonderful whiteness.
1l takes a long lime to Iron aTgarment , and
the rat-Iat.tat of there clubs' Is to ' be heard
all over Corea. You hear It morning , noon
and evening and nl nearly all the hours of
the night , and It lIIayJe \ called "The National
Bong of Corea" or the "Corean Song of the
Shirt " The women top out a tune 08 they
piny and the most of their time Is taken up
iii washing , ironing and sewing .
QUlmn COHEAN AIlTICI.I
All things In Corea are strange to foreign-
ers ! , Time Ihlmhles $ used arc of cloth
and paper beautifully em\Jroldered. \ There
are no buttons \ nor pins , and the garments
are lied on with rlhbolls Soap Is sold In
time form of II powder , and the only matches
are shavings lipped with sulphur These
have to be put Into the fire to IIght _ them ,
and the IIInt Is used ) ! 10 strike a light. The
markets of Coren are full of strange things
There are regular market days over the
country , and the different towns ( of 11 dis- ,
trict have markets In rotation and the people -
plo for miles around come to buy and bell.
The markets of Seoul are very good , and
all kinds of fish , vegetables amid meats are
peddled out by thesl' queer Ileoille. Game Is
plenty , and both the beef \ and the 'enlson
are good "The people are early risers , and
time best \ time to market In Seoul Is between
5 and G et . m. Two hours later the stands
mire all cleared away and you have to r ly
on the retail stores or little shops bcaller
all over time cll ) ' , The market scenes nre
Intele"lInt : You see pompous swells In' '
long gowns oud : ! high hole ! , poor : women by
hundreds with green cloaks over their heads
and boys br scores carrying all kinds of
vegetables and wares There are servants
In livery amid coolies with hats as big as
umbrellas 'J'ltero are bullock \ carte and
porters lIIerchpnts and slaves alt pushing
and fighting over the timings they arc buying.
The IIIl1rllet 18 near the big bouth gate of
the city , and therlJ are thousands h ( mere every
market mOflllnlIIonK the curious l1'tI-
Iles which I noted found a ready sale was
Corelln ginseng the root of which Is good
for alt kInds of diseases ; red pepper , whIch
was avid lu paper parcels IIbou { the size ot a
-
, ,
cigarette for 1 cent apiece and tobacco , which
was dried and peddled ,0 ( tlbY the leaf. , , The
grain market was cqu' ly I queer , andthe _ ,
chicken and bird marks were full of In-
terest. ( '
COHEAN MAOmNEHY , .
Hero and there over-Jthe country I - saw
redo machinery of ono : kind and anoUler.
There were water mills for the pounding out
of rice and the crushing grain along many ,
ot the ' streams. The ( dins were all on the
principle oC the old seesaw 01' teeter { boar
A long beam of wood was sung on a pivot ,
and on one end of this wa9 , a 'he3v " halll-I
mer or mallet. This Cell Into a mortar , In
which time rice or grain was placed At. . the
other end oC the beam was a. square box ,
holding . perhaps , , a barrel of water , and this
box hung right under a. pipe , which was fed
by time stream , As soon as the box was
full time water end of Ihe beam sank down ,
the water rushed ont , and the mullet which
hl\1 been raised highin the air , fell on the
grain , This Is the "poentroller { process" mill
of Corea 1 saw other mills \ , and hose ( In
Seoul were 11Im , the ones 1n the scripture
mid were turned by hand ,1\saw \ some mill-
stones , one on time top of another , Which
were turned by mules , which went abo-ut'lIJte
a horse In u tllnnery 'fhb most ! or , time
mll1eu In the capital were Chinamen , and
they were by no means politer Time brass
works which male the cooking utensils for
these 12.000OCO Coreans are of time rudest
nature. The furnaces are rude ovens of
clay , and little er1lclhles , about the size era
a tin cup are used : file brass Is first east
mid then pOlished hr means oC a lathe , which
time workman manipulates with his feet , sit-
tfng In the end of a trench as he does 50.
'fho brass shines like gold and It lakes 01a
beautiful 1I01lsh. 1 bought II dinner set and
It cost mile $5. It consisted of about a
dozen brass howls , from the size of a wash
basin to trot of an egg cup Time sllver-
smlthll work time same way , and some of
their work Is very artistic In the past
the Coresns were , In fact mho greatest
artists of the far cast , and Jllpanebe art Is
said to have had Its \Jlrth \ In Corea Within
the past half dozen eenlurles , however , the
Coreans have been going backward , and time
Japanese have greatly / Improved In every
way over their Corean In8lructol's.
THE FUTURE OF COlts,1.
