Work of the Hermit People.

An interesting collection of the productions of the Coreans has been brought to England, and is now in the Kew musenm. Like the Japanese, these little-knowm people make an extensive use, in their few industries,' of paper, which is made from the bark of the paper mulberry. This collection includes various white or cream-col-ored papers for drawing, writing, wrapping, etc., with fans and handscreens of paper and bamboo, oiledpaper tobacco-pouches and hat-cover-ings. paper kites witli bamlioo frames, sun blinds of bambo split into threadlike strips, and flue clothing—such as undershirts and cuffs—of split rattans. Very fine work is displayed in some of the articles. —Arkanaaw Traveler.
