GiDgseng.

Ginseng is the root of a small plant
found growing wild in the Northern part
of Asia and America. Botany assigns
it place among plants belonging to the
genus Panax. 1t has Aeshy, pointed
taper-root, about as large as mans fin
ger, which, when dry, is of yellowish-
white color, and is possessed of mucila-
ginous sweetness, somewhat resemblin e
Calamus root, but accompanied by a
slight bitterness.
As an article of commerce ginseng is
very extensively quoted but few people,
however, know what it is like, or what
properties it contains.
Large quantities of this are annually
exported to China, and the demand from
that quarter is every year increasing
Previous to the present century, the Chi
nese obtained most of their supplies from
the wilds of Tartary, and it was then
sold at very exorbitant price. For the
last fifty years, however, this article has
been principally obtained in America,
and the trade has become very profitable.
1t was long matter of wonder, even to
commercial men, to what use the root
was applied by the inhabitants of the
Flowery Kingdom )" but in course of
time it became known that it was en-
ployed very extensively for medical pur-
poses, and that the Chinese have long
had a superstitious faith in its virtues
Among this imaginative people, it is said
to answer the purpose of melting the
partaker to noble deeds of bravery while
at the same time it is a specific for most
bodily ills to which human flesh is heir.

Seasoning Timber.

A German technologist has been ex-
perimenting on the seasoning of timber.
He finds that live wood contains fifty per
cent of sap in December, January, and
February; forty-six per cent. in March
and April; and forty-eight per cent. in
the remaining months of the year, with
very slight variations in quantity, de-
pending upon the character of the sea-
son. If all the moisture be dried out
of wood, it becomes harsh, inelastic, and
brittle. There is therefore, such thing
as over-seasoning timber, though that
fault is certainly not often met with in
the woodwork of our buildings. To osea-
sou wood properly, the drying must be
commenced at very moderate heat, and
performed very gradually. He recon-
mends sand bath for drying small pie
ces of wood for cabinet and Joiner work
The sand not only acts to diffuse the
heat uniformly, but also its intertices en-
able it to absorb moisture, which gen
tic heat expels. The wood should be
buried in the sand while the latter is
cold, and the heat should be graduated 50
as not to exceed 2l2 degrees Fab, by the
use of thermometers placed 10 the sand

A Third Party.

DIR. Emmons, the able New England
divine, met a pantheistical physician at
the house of sick parishioner. 1t was
no place for dispute. 1t was no place
for any unbecoming familiarity with the
minister. 1t was no place to inquire into
the age of the minister, especially with
any intent of entangling him in debate /;
and above all whore the querist was too
illogical for any logical discussion. But
the abrupt question Of the Pantheist was,
@ Mr.. Emmons, how old are you p
Sixty, sir; and how old are you Y''" As
old as creation" was the triumphant re-
sponse. "Then you are ofthe same age
with Adam and Eve p Certainly, /
was in the garden when they were" (" |
have always heard that there was third
party in the garden with them, but ]
never knew before that it was you"

The Sherman Process Of Making Steel.


The cat is at last let out of the bag
The tremendous secret Of transformation
by which such wonders have been accom-
plished in the manufacture of iron and
steel by the Sherman process, is at last
disclosed.
The whole mystery of the process lies
in the addition to iron during the pud-
ding process of very small quantity Of
iodine. 1t is claimed as the rationale Of
this process that the iodine acts to decom-
pose the phosphate Of iron in the metal,
and to change the phosphorus into pc
culiar amorphous condition in which it
is readily burned off, and thus eliminated.
In some similar way it is supposed to act
upon the sulphur. Now, whether there
be any truth in this theory,-which We
are bound to confess, has show of plaus-
ibility-or not, we must bo pardoned for
entertaining grave doubts as to its revo-
lutionary effect upon the manufacture Of
iron. So far as We can judge, the pre-
cise time and manner of the iodine is
very indefinitely determined as yet, and
though the public has been treated to
very highly colored narratives of success
achieved, there have been doubtless, fail
ures to which no publicity has been
given.

"Haste Makes Waste.'

If we were asked for the best illustra-
ton of the above proverb, there is none
we could think of more remarkable
than the almost universal practice of run
ming up stairs. Suppose your room to
be on the first foor-from the sky--in
large hotel, four flights up, of twenty
steps each, or eighty steps in all One
step per second is deliberate rate Of
walking. Eighty seconds on the stairs,
and the balance of two minutes for the
landings, and the job is done, without
perspiration or exhaustion. Almost any
one who will take deliberate walk mp
stairs, and time it, will be surprised to
fiud how short it is. Then let the same
person run up, and time that. He will
be more surprised than before, in all
probability, on comparing the two to
perceive for what an inappreciable con-
sideration in time he has been induced
so often to hurry up stairs, painting and
ready to drop at the summit One min
ute is about the utmost that can be saved,
in the longest of our customary ascents,
by straing every nerve for it, One min
ute is seldom of any practical conse-
quence in such cases, and never fails to
offset many fold by the time required to
repair the excessive animal waste that it
costs.

TEA.--A scientific Frenchman has made the
discovery that the ordinary tea-drinker takes
into his stomach during the year leather enough
to make pair Of boots The reason Of this
may readily be made clear. a :decoction of
tea contains tannin, as tanic acid, in solution );
milk contains albumen and as these two sub
stances are the chief ingredients Of leather,
and as they actually unite and form leather
when brought int contact with each other,
the drinker Of tea makes q sort Of shoemaker 8

the leathery appearance Of so many old ladies
