Any land so Clod-forsaken that tho government pos sessing it can not -surrey if or procure any form of statistics is a veritable cast away indeed. It is impossible to obtain statistics of even seals and fish. .But from tho known U?s in naval and com mercial expedition, and tho wreckage of coasting and fishers vessels along tho coasts, since Labrador was discovered it would be a safe calculation that for every dollar in value of fish or fur se cured upon the Iabrador coast for tho past four hundred years, an equal or greater actual loss by . somebody has been sustained. And when the addi tional frightful loss o life hasben takrvi into account, the inexpressible worthlessness of the entire peninsula may bo to some extent conceived. Cor. Springfield Republican. THE COREAN APPETITE A Country YVhrr ;iuttony Is a Mark ol (trrat Distinction. The Corean Is the greatest eater in . the world, and more than any other man in the world he lives to eat. The ' average man tho country over eats any i thlnjr he can get his teeth on, and ho will take a dozen meals a day if ho has a cham-e. I had sixteen chair-bearers cn a trip which I took into the interior, and these learers stopped at very vil lage and at almost every house to rest and feed. They would dart off ono by one into flol U of turnips by the wayside, and for the next half-mile would go along eating raw turnips. The bigger a man's stomach is in Corea tho more. wealthy he is supposed to be, and you see pot-bellied "youngsters everywhere you go. A Corean has a snort sack, which come down just below' the mid dle of his waist, and his full baggy pan taloons are tied up under this. N)mo of the baby boy have outgrown tho size of their jackets, and you see a licit of fat yellow kin between the ends of tho pantaloon anl the beginning of the coat. So-r.e of the wealthy ones wear bustle oer their abdomens, in order to increase the size of their fronts, and tho King annually makes a present to thoso who have audience with him.
