The Cost Of Ginseng.

In England we have been accustomed
30 pay high prices at certain times for
drugs, such as ouinine, cocaine and
others, but drug is used in New China
which in actual value far surpasses any
thing which has been known here.
The substance in question is called
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 20 to $50 times its
weight in silver, sometimes for 500 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 principal article of ex-
port from Corea into China. So much
Is this the case that the 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 a much
used commodity at such 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, in 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. nt.-Pearson's

Relics Of BARBARIAN.

They are very fortunate young people,
80 far as we can now see, this George,
duke of York. and Princess Mary OF
Teck, who have just been married with
all the high ceremonial the most stately
court IN Europe could contrive. The
statesmen, the politicians and the news
papers are predicting that he will yet be
king and she qucen--mgher still, in
fact, an emperor and an empress.
We hope not. But we do trust they
will both be good citizens of the coming
English republic, which shall go hand
in hand with the United States, France
and all our great galaxy Of South Amer
lean republics in developing the advance
ment and glory Of the peoples.
Kings and queens, emperors and en-
presses, are joining the extinct NAM
moths Of the human race. A few of
them are still left, but their fate is sealed.
They are really relics of barbarism.---
