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 armed with stout clubs and wear thick sale by the Davenport Drug Company. 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 rather more disastrous than usual, It is reported that six men were killed; bnt this, hi probably an exaggeration.

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.
