The Cost Of 0lnA0ng.

In England we have been accustomed
TO pay high prices at certain times fol
drugs, such as quinine. cocaine and
others. but a drug is used in New China
which in actual value far SURPRISES any
thing which has been known here.
The substance in question is called
ginseng and is the root Of Aralia quin.
q~uefolia. 1t is SO highly valued as a
tonic and stimulant medicine in China
that it is sold at from 20 to $50 times its
weight in silver, sometimes for 500 times
that amount. Authorities state, how
ever, that it possesse3 no important
medicinal properties. Next to China
the drug is produced III good quality in
Corea and is the principal article of ex-
port from Corea into China. So much
Il this the case that the Coreans are loath
to part with any seels of the plant lest
their practical monopoly in this root
should be invaded.
The wonder is that with such a much
used commodity at such a price steps are
not taken to cultivate it in sufficien-
quantity SO as to adjust the balance be
tween supply and demand. The reduc-
ton, for example, in the price of qui
nine vas largely the result of increased
cultivation of the cinchona plant. and
the same may be said of cocaine in re-
spect to the cocoa plant.-Pearson's

The Man Got a Whipping.

The father jumped out of bed, snatch

searched, but no man was found.

Singularly enough it appears that Poe.
the only absolutely distinct genius our
country has yet produced, was incapable
Of humor and that even his levity was
artificial. Hawthorne, next to Poe in
originality and far above him in style,
was but meagerly equipped with smile
provoking material. Bryant, our great
est poet, maintained a lofty seriousness
throughout his work.
It may be sacrilege to say SO, but the
truth is Lowell was the founder Of our
levity. He never could be quite a relia-
bly, serious thinker, but could at any mo-
ment break off into funmaking. Humor
is good in a fresh and natural state, bu,
80 is a peach. Cut and dry either, and
You have a poor article for a regular diet.
We Americans have fed upon laughable
things until our faces show the wrinkles
OF a grin even when in solennest repose,
We are never sure It one another, bu,
must wait awhile att e each communi
cation to find out whether or not it is
joke. The effect of highest sincerity
cannot he reached in the midstof all thii
