The Govern mant must rely upon the people as absolutely as the people rely upon the Government, in the protected by the intelligence of the head and same way as the human body is defended and the strength of its members."

In default of a census, we put the population of Korea at about ten million-afigure midway between the 15.000,000 of Cuvelier's estimate and the 6,000,000 of Berteaux s. The army which is to be built up in Korea will be hardy and indefatigable. It will suffice to enlist and drill the street partern and drivers of beasts of burden to secure the nucleus of a strong infantry force. As for marksmanship, they are of the very first rank; without recalling the two episodes of the nineteenth century in which Frenchmen and Americans learned this to their cost, I need only refer to their target practice and their skill in hunting. A Korean never misses a tiger or a leopard. And in the game of archery at range of two hundred yards, his arrow goes straight to the mark.-Japon Daily Advertiser.

The wall, twenty feet high, stretches far away-up hill and dawn dale-and there is room for several Seouls within the space it encloses. In a single zone, reaching from east to west, the 45,000 thatched or tiled roofs of the capital are miserablýjammed together, like the backs of a flock of timid sheep. There are no dwellings north or south of this belt on the two mountain slopes which come down to the city-the one wild and bure and exposed to the blaze of the sun, with the imperial palace at its broad base; the other extremely beautiful, with its dense and forbidding forests, descend- case, Eczema, Skin Eruptions, Scrofula, all THE CHINA & JAPAN TELEPHONE ing to the Japanese quarter.

Perhaps those open spaces were intended to shelter the people of the outlying districts in time of war, and to give the Korean archers a line of defence ten miles long, which was no more than they needed. Or possibly the builder bad too grand a vision of the city's future. He was a general, who came to power in the year Im-sin (1392).

THE DYNASTY,

The throne upon which had sat for three centuries the rulers at Sang Da-the dynasty which had accomplished the unification of Korea-were then transferred to Seoul, where it has till to-day been the imperial set of the dynasty descended fram that general.

The Mongol house became Ming, and has so remained throughout the Manchu period. And the emperors of Korea invariably marry daughters of the Ming family. Ming was the aunt of the present emperor, the late wife of the crown prince Ming, consequently, the entire throng of functionaries, whose power would vanish if the matrimonial privilege of the noble family, so long the breeder of k ng should fall into decay.

But now we come to the door of the palace. Within its walls a child seven years niu is being brought up almost like a European. His mother aime. Em-a favourite of the emperor -has not a drop of Ming blood in her veins, and yet is acclaimed as empress by the powerful party of Yi Yong Ik. The Mings are getting their eyes open!

In the square, two French hotels, side by side, bid against each other for patronage. bailing passers-by with the vociferations of an American phonograph May they hope that the Trans-Siberian will bring theas guests? The clement season is very shon. A glance at the climatological tables in the Seoul Observatory -as the doctor at the Russian legation fanci- fully calls his establishment-shows that most of the year is either intolerably bot er insufferably cold,

A notice in my room reveals one of the dis- comforts of the city: "Owing to the difficulty of procuring water, a bath costs one yen (fifty cents)." Yet the Han River is not far away, and is easily reached by trolley. Another notice in the dining room portends an equal difficulty in procuring ice-and also mutton, so we sometimes get three courses of beef in one meal.

"I was for a long time a terrible sufferer from Neuralgia. This trying complaint first came on about three years ago. I took all sorts of medicines and other things recommended me, but they did not do me any good. The Neus dgia was so severe that it made me feel 'quite run down.' I had no appetite, and became dreadfully weak, so that I could da scarcely anything at all. was Loany beside myself with the pain I had to endure, and alost cried on account of my agony.

(WEDNESDAY), the 9th March, 1904, at 10A.M,

In the morning I leap out of bed, wakened THEU by the strident crowing of roosters and the in- cessant blare of trumpets. Soldiers are com- ing out of the palace-hosts of soldiers. They are equipped in modern style, like the Japanese. And this is why-so says the Russian minister at Seoul-they evince a shocking tendency to salute a uniform resembling that of the Japanese troops of the city in preference to all others. They stride past in martial array, armed with Murata, Gras and Remington rifles, their bayonets bristling savagely. I should have been quite alarmed had not been told that the officer who purveyed these arms had not delivered the bayonet sheaths; instead, he made off with them and profited handsomely by the trick.

Every morning the troops scamper to and fro as if they were running to a fire, without any attempt at orderly marching, bumping into the santinels at the street comers. Perhaps these incessant lines of men go back whence they came, ouly by a different door and to give an exaggerated impression of their num Bers, after the manner of a provincial opera
