bors and in appearance imagine thegreatly resemble the Chinaman of thesixiecnili rentiiry in other words IIICelestial as he was before the Manchinvasion Irevious to this change indynasty the Chinese did not wear pigirils They shaved the top of timerheads and drew time hair from eacl

tails¬

and they forced the people thehad conquered to adopt the same cus ¬

tom Korea being out of the heaterpath for conquest escaped the erUctand its people still adhere to the oldcustoms In fact for many centuriesthe waves of invasion from the northhave passed them by and they haveand do ask only to be let alone and tohe allowed to run their own affairsTheir motto is Korea for the Korears
