STONE FIGHTS IN COREA.
An Oriental Pastime That Mint Be At
tended with Great Hunger.
Kite Hying, which is universal in this
country, ceases snddenly on the 16th of
the first Corean month, and the next day
stone fights take its place as the chief
pnblio amusement. In the eastern part
of Seoul, the capital, there are- large
open spaces that have not been built
upon, and here occur the most serious
and interesting fights. One section of
the city is pitted against another, out
any one can take a hand on either side
at pleasure. There are no recognized
leaders, but the mass of fighters readily
follows the lead of any one who shows
himself to be a little more reckless than
the rest,.
Two mobs, consisting of fifty, seventy
or a hundred men each, are drawn up
against each ocher, with an interval of
perhaps fifty yards between them. There
is an incessant shower of stones, and
each man's business is to hit as many
men as he can', and especially to avoid
all the stones directed at him. From
ten to twenty men on each side are Early risen, a perfect little- pill F

wadded helmets. These form the skir
mishing line. They sally out from their
respective sides and, meeting in mid*
career, strike ont viciously at each
other's heads, each man holding np his
cloak with liifj left hand os a shield to
ward off the blows of his adversary,
After the club fight has lasted about
thirty seconds one or the other begins
to give way, which is the signal for a
rush of the otben. Almost invariably
the other side breaks and runs, and
sometimes are chased into their houses,
but generally some of the pursuing
party press too closely on the fugitives.
Then the latter suddenly turn and deal
ft few staggering Jblows, which check
the pursuers, and in a few seconds the
tables are turned, and those who a mo
ment ago are flushed with victory are
now in fall flight with their enemies.
Thus the battle goes back and forth
across the fields, while the neighboring
embankments are crowded with specta
tors. • The effect of the thundering
cheers of the spectators npoh the com
batants is marvelous.
They charge upon each other os if in
actual battle, and show What would bo
bravery if exerted fit some useful cause.
Near the river are numerous villages
numbering from lOOto'SOO houses each.
They are situated along the hantoat in
tervals of about half a mile. These keep
up a continual series of fights among
themselves during the season, one vil
lage being arrayed against the other.
The defeated party fly across the marshy
vamom
seizing anything op which they can lay
their Mhidrf-iwh files, dooifridbji&dK
tbeir victory. Then the whole village
rises against the invaders, and they fly,
glad if they can get back without broken
heads. - ...» -^ -- -W ; Vg . ^ « u
The Itrst stone light of the 'season was

Ilefor* Learning * Lnngnage.
Some students begin a language for
the mere lore of knowing foreign
tongues: others acquire them either for
professional purposes or with the aim of
Ining access to foreign literatures,
it whatever be the motive it is well to
set ont with some knowledge of tt)A
science of language—some insight into
the relations of langnsgesto each other
—some grasp of the theories of modem
scholars about the origin and develop
ment of speech. To learn language
without knowing anything of the science
of language is like acquiring the art of
tting np electric fixtures without any
owledge of the principles of electrical
rnfagefa,
To approach it, on the other hand,
from the standpoint of universal prin
ciples is to make the Btndyof it easier
and progress in any paiticnlar tongue
much more rapid. By knowing, for ex
ample, the laws of consonantal inter
change, we may often discover the
meaning of words withont being obliged
to refer for them to the dictionary. Ib
this wsy every new language teamed
makes more easy the acquirement of
other tongues of the same or of allied
stocks.—Boston Herald.
