The Cost Of Glnsene.


In England we have been accustomed
to pay high prices at certain times for
drugs, such as quinine, 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 q much
used commodity at such price steps are
not taken to cultivate 1t in sufficient
quantity so as to adjust the balance be-
tween supply and demand. The reduc-
ton, for example, in the price of quiz
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. Parsons

smashed Idols.

What years and years Of labor will
men not go through in order to gain the
esteem of their fellow mani Yet how
uncertain the reward. A thousand sue
cesses, a single mistake, and all is lost.
1t is said now that If Admiral Tryon had
lived he might have been shot for his
great blunder. Only those who die or
retire at the right moment can hope to
retain what they have earned of fame.
Perhaps the cause of this smashing OF
idols for a first offense is that, feeling
ourselves equal as whole to the idol,
we take advantage of the first error that
shows the lack of supposed superiority
to knock the idol down to the common
level Certain qualities may cause men
to become famous, but it is doubtful If
in The eyes of an all seeing Spirit we are
not all about as evenly made up of what
we call bad and good qualities as to-
make claim for any superiority other
than animal superiority ridiculous.-

In ''The Arabian Nights we read Of a
wise sage who cured great king by q
decoction with which he anointed the
handle of stick with which the king
was in the habit Of playing q game at
ball, to the end that when The royal hand
perspired in the vigor of the play the
open pores might receive the medica-
ment.
The translator speaks of this stick as a
"golfstick" (sic), but it is plain from tho
context that the game was played on
horseback. 1t was, in fact, polo. In
deed the illustrations of the very Same
edition show the said king playing the
game on horseback. Blackwood's Maya
