A CHAT WITH THE CHIEF PRIESTS A Refreshing Snore Beneath the Sacred 1dol Rudely Disturbed—Corean Chils dren, Amusements, Supersti- tions and Funeral (Copyrighted, 1895, by Frank G. Carpenter.) 1 spent a night last spring in the biggest Buddhist monastery of Corea. It was founded 1,100 years ago, and Corea had Buddhism while Japan was still worshipping the sun goddess of Shintolsm, The fact is that Japanese Buddhism came from Corea. This was about 500 years after Christ, when one of the Corean kings gave a golden Buddha to the mikado. He popularized the religlon, and Japan was soon fillel with Buddhists, monks and nuns. The religion became pop- uiar, and today Japan is cne of the great Buddhist countries of the world, Corea, on the other hand, has sunken into barbarisni. It s the land of infidels and super- stitions. The Buddhist religion, which was 0 strong in the past, has fallen into dis- grace, and until lately the priests were not allowed to come Into the city of Seoul, Thero are no Buddhist temples in Seoul, and there are not a great many over the country. . Tho chief center of religion s in the eastern part of the peninsula, and the monastery which 1 visited Is one of the richest and largest In the world, It had hundreds of acres of forests connected with it. It owned vast estates, and it had buildings and temples which made me think of those of Japan. 1t was made the Imperial monastery about 100 years before the d'scovery of America. The founder of the present Corean dynasty was born near it, and was taught by one of its priests. The result was that when he becama king, about 500 years ago, he favored this monastery. He gave it imperial rank, and its priests have been getting fat oft of presents ever since. This man planted some trees along the road which leads to the tem- ple, and I rode through these on my way to the monastery. They are immense p! al- most 200 feet in height, and opposite them stand stone tablets cmmemmorating th's great monarch. There is an old prophecy in Corea which states that the present dynasty will be destroyed in the G00th year of Its reign. It was just 500 years ago that this Kking lived, and the Corean rebels who have trled to break up the government this year believe that they are carrying out the proph- ecy, and that the present king will be the last of his line. HUNDREDS OF PRIESTS. 1 found the country surrounding the mon- astry filled with priests, They line the roads. They are at work in the flelds. You see them loafing in the woods, and they fairly swarm about the temples. They wear yellow gowns, and their hats are very much like Inverted butter bowls. They come down over thelr heads so that you see only their noses and thelr chins, and they all walk with long staves, They do not get much attention from the people and they are not respected as they are in other Buddhist countries. Those [ met were densely ignorant, and it seemed to me they knew very little about their re- ligion. They are very superstitious, and I saw. signs of this everywhere. At the en- trance to the monastry there was a blg e, and on each side of this stood a row of tem sticks, carved with hideous faces, like those which you find outside of each Corean village. These are supposed to be a guard against evil spirits, and they aid Buddha in protecting his own. We passed through several of them and went for several miles along a well kept road through a beautiful pine forest, the grass of which was studded with flowers. Along one side of the road a mcentain torrent rushed over a ragged rock, singing the praises of Buddha as it pushed Its way toward the Paclfic ocean. On the other side hills rose almost llke mountains, and the ride was one of the most picturesque that T found in Corea. The forests belonging to the establishment ars beautifully Kept and some parts of the grounds make you think of an English park, rather than one of the wildest sections of one of the most back- ward countries on the globe. There were rustic bridges In temple-like resting places here and there on the way., Now and then we passed a cemetery filled with tablets in memory of the hollest monks of the past, and all of our surroundings were filled with the beauties of nature. SLEEPING WITH THE MONKS, Some of the gorgeous priests in their but- ter-bowl hats met my party at the gate, and “General” Pak, my Interpreter, sent our sery- ant along in advence with my letter of In- troduction from the king of Corea, with orders to the chlef priest to prepare a proper entertainment for me. When we arrived at the temples, however, Pak found they were going to put us in a small room. This did not sult him at all, and he led me through court after court, until we came to the big- gest temple of all. He stalked with stately tread right into this and spoke in grandilo- quent tones to the crowd of priests lying about. He scattered them this way and that, and' we goon had a hundred monks flylng about trylng to fix up. the place for my reception. The room was 100 feet square, and among thoso in It at the time we came were fifty priests, who were eating thelr supper, “‘Gen- eral” Pak moved them all to one side, and then pointed to a place near the wall. He told me that it was there that I was to spend the night. My resting place was right under & great big golden statue of Buddha, In front of which bowls of incense were burning, The room was about twenty feet In height, and great lanterns hung from the celling. There were drums and gongs here and there for the waking up of the gods before praying to them, and there were mats scattered about, upon which the priests slept later on. A TALK WITH THE CHIEF PRIEST. While we were getting dinner the chief priest, the highest Buddhist in Corea, came down to see me, He wa® a man of about 60, with o head as bald as a billiard ball, and a comflexion that was like that of a well beaten drum head. He was withered and wrinkled, but his little black eyes twinkled out of their buttonhole slits, and he was affable and pleasant. Ho squatted on ‘heels on the floor for a time, and then, up:n my asking him to take dinner with me, he #at down cross-legged, and we discussed mat- ters together while our aged rooster was cooking. I had a gocd variety of wine with me, and I offered the chief priest a glass of champa At first he refused, but upon “General” Pak telling him that it was not like Corean liquor, he gulped down great swallows, rubbing his stomach the while, as the sparkling liquid sent a warm glow through his veins. The tr finished the bottle Tight there, and “General” Pak made him a present of it. There is no glass In Corea, and the chief priest considered this a magnificent gift. He bumped his head on the mats befor me In response to it, and after this there was nothing in the whole establishment which he did not offer to us. I asked him some ques. tlons about his religlon. He told me that Buddhism came into Corea from China, and that about 300 years after Christ the first Buddhist monks came from that country. I spoke to him about the revival of his religion in Japan and of the movement which Is there on foot to send Buddhist missionaries to Corea, in order to bring back the country to its old faith, but he did not seem to have much Interest in the matter, and he was more intent upon watchlng the getting of the dinnér than in talking of Buddha. He ate with wooden chopaticks, and he seemed to like my rice ‘nd chicken soup very much. As soon as We were through, as politely as possible I 3 10 him. that I would like to lie down ‘and be at rest. 1 had been riding since 6 . oclock In the morning & razor-backed pony over & very rough road, and I w Coreans n‘I'A; not of fl?m ll use beds unknown, and P on the bare 0 “General” floor, T supposed they would clean out the hundred-odd monks who were in the temple and give me a chance to sleep alone, and I waited some time for them to move. They gave no sign of dofng so, and at last In despair 1 asked ‘‘General” Pak for a screen. He brought half a dozen, and with these we made a little fence about my rice bags, and, undressing, I wrapped myself in my blanket and soon dropped off to sleep. A MIDNIGHT SERENADE. About midnight 1 was awakened by a horrible din. A hundred gongs were sound- Ing. Two score of bells were ringing, and there were the beating of drums and the clapping of hands and a pounding of .one plece of wood upon another. I rose to my feet and looked over the screen. About thirty monks were still sleeping, and forty others were trotting herd and there through the temple on their way to prayers. brawny priest was pounding on a gong near my head, and another was ringing a bell at the foot of my bed. I stood and looked on, for there was no use trying to go to sleep amid such a noise. This lasted nearly an hour, and then the priests slowly resumed their cuddled-up positions on the floor, and the Corean snore took the place of the gongs and the bells. I went back to my rice bags, and had just dropped off to slesp when the ongs and bells began again. 1 looked at my watch. It was 4 a. m., and the day was just dawning. The morning prayers had begun, and this effectually stopped further rest. AMONG THE- NUNS. After breakfast I took a walk over the monastry, and I met a number of the Buddhist nuns. These were the scrawniest, scrappiest, scraggiest women I have ever seen. Thelr heads are shaved, and the women I saw had faces as wrinkled as the leather of an aligator satchel, and they made me think of the idiots I have seen in some of our state asylums. They live apart from the monks in quarters of their own, and they are little respected by the people. I found none of the high class Coreans had much to do with the monks or the priests, and they were looked upon more as a set of ignorant drones than anything else. The monastries are travel resorts for the people, and many excursions are taken to-visit them, more to admire the beautiful scenery by which they are surrounded than anything else. The Coreans are fond of the beauties of nature, and on any fine day you may see acres of them wandering through the hills about the Corean capital and writing _verses and poetry inspired by the sight. When the trees are in flower they have picnics under them, and the beautiful panks of the country are as well known as those of Switzerland are known to Europe. . The gentlemen often have poetry partles, at which they compete with each other in writing virses on the spur of the moment on certain subjects, and they are very strict In matters of etiquette, More of them believe in Confuclus than in any- thing else, and their culture, you know, all comes from China. Just outside of Seoul there is a massive Buddha carved out of stone, with a little temple above it, but it has few worshippers, and the only temples in the Corean capital are Confucian. QUEER COREAN SUPERSTITIONS. 1 found the Coreans superstitious in the extereme, and I met evidences of this every- where. The trees which we passed at the foot of the mountains had piles of stone about them, and “‘General” Pak always picked up another stone and threw it on the pile. He told me that in those trees lived the gods of the mountalns, and that if we did not do them honor by giving them a stone they would work us great harm. Nearly every house had a magic charm tied about it in order to keep out the spirits, and profes- sional sorcerers are called in at funerals to drive oft the demons. These are usually old women, who have a very curious dance, and who whirl about in the street for hours in order to keep off the evil one. I saw several table rocks on my trip across the country which are used for sacrifices in times of epi- demics, and one immensa stone of this kind, about twenty feet square, I was told, saved tho country from small pox. The Coreans be- lieve in astrology. They have their lucky days, and they think that the spirits hover about them and work them good or ill. At the cross roads I often saw, straw effiges, which, I was tuld, had been made by men as a guard against evil diseases. In such straw men are hidden pieces of money, and the partles who make them say a prayer over them, asking that they be delivered from all diseases and misfortunes for the next twelve months. They then give them to the boys, who tear them to pieces to find the money. The more the figure is torn, the greater the efficacy of the charm. The Coreans consider nine to be a lucky number, and they have all kinds of raln prophets and dream signs. s COHEAN ‘CHILDREN. 1 found mapy boys In this big Corean monastery. They were studying to be priests, and the chief priest took four of them and posed them, in order that I might have their pictures taken. They were bright little fel- lows, and they went over the prayers of Buddha quite glibly, not knowing what they mean. The children form one of the most Interesting features, of Corea. They are bright and good natured, and vey pol'te. They tagged at my heels wherever I went, and gave the chief amusing features of the whole trip. In the summer children under 6 wear little more than a little jacket, which comes just below the arm pits. They eat great quantities of raw turnips and pumpkins, and the whole of baby Ccrea may be #ald to be pot-bellied. The children have all kinds of games, and they delight in the flying of kites. Thelr kites are made differently from ours. They are square In shape, with a hole as b'g around as a tin cup in the middle, They let out the string by a reel and they have kite fights, They use great skill in this amusement, and two rival kites will fight like live things hundreds of feet up in the air. Bach one of the fighters tries to entangle the other kites, to break their strings and drag them down to the ground, The greatest kite flying time is during the New Year holidays, and the men, as well as the bo; have their kites. GAMBLING IN COREA. The Coreans are fond of gambling, but the laws provide that there shall be no gambling, except at funerals, and then only among the friends of the deceased, This makes the dead man very popular, and all who have any claim whatever to friendship or relationship with him appear at the funeral. The cere- mony usually lasts for days, and it is a kind of a cross between an African hoodoo show and an Irish wake, COREAN GRAVES. Graves in Corea are quite as Important as they are in China. Every family has its burying ground and the dead are carried for miles in order that they may be laid with their kin. The monuments are usually round mounds of earth, and the bigger the man the bigger the mound. A rich man will often take a whole hill to himself, and the ceme- teries are usually located on the sides of hills. When a man dies hired mourners are called in, and these wail as they burn the clothing of the dead. They do this at night in the street in the front of the door. The funerals of Seoul have to pass out of certain gates of the city, and must go through just at dusk. The result {s that they go to the grave on a run, for It they do mot arrive there in time they will have to squat down and wait untll the gates open in the morn- Ing. Such funerals are always accompanied by men and there is dancing and merry-mak- ing on the way. 1 saw a number during my stay in Seoul, and there seemed to be more rejoleing than grief. My next letter will be the last on Corea, It will describe my trip o the harbor of Genean, whence I went to Siberia, and will show some queer unknown features of the bermit kingdom. ——— Avother Misuiug Link.

Haye. you read senate bill 10007 sald old Pop Talcott today. “It is a bill entitled ‘An Act for the Rellef of Telegraph Operators During the War of the Rebellion,’ and it pro- vides that ‘The secretary of war is hereby authorized and directed to prepare a roll of all persons who served in the operation of military telegraph lines during the late civil war, and to issue to each, upon application, unless it appears that his service was not creditably performed, or to the representa- tives of those who are dead, suitable certifi- cates of honorable service on the military tele- graph corps of the army of the United States, stating the service rendered, the length of such service, and the dates, as near as may be, between which such service was per- formed: Provided, that this law shall not be construed to entitle the persons heréin men- tioned to any pay, pension, bounty, or rights not herein specifieally provided for' ** 0ld Pop Talcott, who has for many years been the electriclan of the house wing of the capitol buflding, was the general manager of the American telegraph in Washirgton city during the war, and his reminiscences of that day and of the telegraphic work done by newspaper men, as well as by military mej are very Interesting indeed, He is a very popular ‘man at the capitol, and It is largely through his influence that this bill providing for the relief of telegraph operators who served In the field during the war has passed the senate and is now before the house of rep- resentatives. There are a number of the survivors of the telegraph corps of the army residing in the several states of the union today, and all of them are Interested in thig' bill.” 'Pop Talcott has becn in communication with them for a number of years, and they are all anxious to receive recognition at the hands of the gov- ernment. . ENTITLED TO RECOGNITION. In a letter addressed to Senator Hawley, who was at that time chairman of the com- mittee on military affairs of the United States senate, Lieutenant General J. M. Schofleld, commanding the army,said: *There is no que tion, in my judgment, that the persons en- gaged in the military telegraph service during the late war deserve recognition for their bravery, fidelity and skill with which they discharged their duties, and that they should at least recelve a certificate of recognition and honorable discharge from the service. Somo of them- would doubtless be entitled to the rank of commissioned officers, while such who were engaged only in the construction of military telegraph lines might only be entitled to rank as privates.” Representative Outhwaite of Ohio, chair- man of the committee on military affairs, prepared and submitted to the house a report in which it is declared that it has always been the avowed policy of the government not to recgnize as a part of the army or with military rank those persons who filled merely civilian positions. But the case of the army operators is somewhat different from civillan employes in the war generally. Their sery- ices were important and valuable, and the telegraph operators were stationed wherever headquarters were established. In the con- struction of telegraph lines they were often pushed forward into positions of dan- ger. They put up their instruments many times on the skirmish lines, and frequently almost in the lines of battle. Often times they were the last to leave an abandoned position, even when in danger of capture and imprisonment. Some of them were killed at thelr posts of duty, many wounded, and some crippled for life. Those who were made prisoners of war were exchanged for im- portant officers. Some held an_assimilated rank, but not the real rank of officers. Their duties were jush as important and just as faithfully performed as though they had been sworn into the military service of the United States. For these reasons the committee on military affairs expressed the opinlon that a_slight departure from the usual policy of the government in not recognizing civillan employes of the army is justified in the case of the telegraph operators. Twenty years ago the art”of - preserving meat by means of cold storage was in its In- fancy; but the French government has fully avalled itself of every improvement that has been made in this direction, and at the first sign of Impending danger the authérities would be prepared to store hundreds of thousands of carcasses of beeves and mutton.

She was a graceful skater, and evgry movement was Delsartean In .its- perfection, It was not her grace and beauty that at- tracted the men. It was her bare feet, wh' | gleamed in and out beneath her skirt as each foot was thrust gracefully forward, The foot was such a one as described by Du Maurier in his “Triby.” The coloring was perfect, and now and then as the winds switched her skirts the glimpse of a perfect ankle and sometimes even the swell of a shapely calf was seen. It was this that attracted the men. They wondered thet the cold did mot e her suffer, but it seemed unnoticed. Her mother finally appeared, and, after much cheerful persuasion and a little force, the girl was induced to remove her skates, don her sboes and stockings, and leave.
