The Cost Of Ginseng.

In England we have been accustomed
to pay high prices at certain times for
drugs. such as quinine, cocaine AMI
Others, but a drug is used in New China
which in actual value far surpasses any
thing which has beer known here.
The substance in question is callat
ginseng and is the root of Aralia quin-
~quefolia. 1t is so highly valued as a
tonic and stimulant medicine in China
that it is sold at from 90 to $50 times its
weight in silver. sometimes for 800 times
that amount. Authorities state. how.
ever, that it possesses no important
medicinal properties. Next to China
the drug is produced in good quality in
Corea and is the prime pal article of ex-
port from Corea into China. So much
ia this the case that tn Coreans are loath
to part with any seeds of the plant lest
their practical monopoly in this root
should be invaded.
The wonder is that with such IA much
used commodity at such a price steps are
not taken to cultivate it in sufficient
quantity so as to adjust the balance be.
tween supply and demand. The reduc-
ton. for example, i'll the price of qui-
nine was 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 Rev. Joseph Haven, who preached
in Rochester, N. H., during the last
quarter of the last century. has been al
ways remembered for his genial spirit
and his inexhaustible humor. One story
told of him has many parallels, but it is
quite as likely to be true in his case as
in any.
The boy had been guilty Of some grave
ofense, and yet would not confess it.
II can tell who did II" said the parson,
and accordingly he called together all
the boys suspected and explained to them
that he had confined a rooster under .
kettle in a darkened DOM. One after
another they must pass in and touch the
kettle. When the guilty boy touchedit, he
might expect to hear the rooster crow.
The lads filed in and out again and
were made to display their fingers. all
but those of one lad were sooty. He, the
guilty one, had not ventured to touch
the ~telltale kettle.-Youth's Companion.
