As such it is used instead of carpets on the floors, instead of paper on the walls, instead of glass in the windows, and instead of white-wash on the ceilings. Clothes, hats, shoes, tobacco-pouches, and fans are made of it ; so are umbrellas, lanterns, and kites. Rooms are divided by paper screens ; clothes are kept in paper chests ; men travel with j)aper trunks ; children play with paper toys. Then there are the ordinary pur- poses of writing and jjrinting ; and so frugal are the Koreans, tha...t even the examination-papers of the candidates in the literary examinations, instead of being thrown away, are disposed of for a few coppers, and subsequently do duty as improvised macintosh capes on the shoulders of the coolies, who go marching along in the rain, innocently parading the maxims of Confuciu.s on their backs. The principal manufactory is in a valley watered by a stream outside the north gate of Soul ; and a steam paper-mill, with foreign machinery, has just been erected at Yang-hwa-chin on the Han, four miles below the capital.
