According to an intelligent and OBJ
servant member of the trade, the aver
age purchaser of footwear counts the
life of shoe by the number of times it
requires resoling and heeling. If shoe
is resoled and heeled twice, the wearer
thinks it is better shoe than the one
which, though giving longer wear, will
hardly bear resoling and heeling more
than once. The same retailer claims
that some manufacturers take advantage
OF this knowledge and put inferior leath-
er in the soles and heels and thus attain
the apparently impossible feat of in
creasing the reputation Of their goods by
using inferior material. 1t is certain,
however. that reputable manufacturers
do not adopt this questionable policy. -

FALSE DIALECT.
Our Negro Stories Are Declared to he All
Wrong.


Wrong.
The flood of negro talk that has dis
colored our recent literature is not dia-
lect 1t consists chiefly of the vulgarism,
the mispronunciation and misuse of
words that come of a lack of education
and polite association. Hardly any of it
is even provincialism, and still less is
the survival of old forms and usages.
Nor is it due in any appreciable degree
to locality In fact, it arises from con-
ditiou almost wholly and is merely tho
lingo of our lowest classes, with small
distinction ON account Of race and color.
1t is kitchen talk, as distinguished
from that of the parlor, and, although it
may occasionally offer us word or
phrase having some pathological or his
torical interest, it does not approach the
dignity of dialect. The bad grammar
of illiterate ignorance, without rule or
art, it even lacks the consistency in er-
ror with which some of our writers seek
to invest it, for it recognizes no prece-
dent and follows no analogy.
And yet the real lingo is not half so
bad as it is represented in print. where
it is sought to set it before us phonet-
ically. 1t is obvious that the ordinary
speech of any of our white communities
would look very much like jargon if
subjected to the same phonetic process.
In our common conversation very few
of us are purists, and precision is gen.
orally regarded as affected and preten-
tious. William c. Elan in Lippin-
cott's.

Exceptionally Honored.

A good old Methodist lady attending
service in suburban Episcopal church
last Sunday became happy under the
preaching of the word and calculated
"Glory" She was admonished to keep
quiet by two of the brethren and nod
ded assent. but soon becoming forget
full responded "Halleluiah. - The
brethren again called her attention to
the annoyance and told her that if she
did not keep quiet they would be COM
PEELED to remove her The sermon pro-
ceeded, and the old lady, becoming very
happy and forgetful of her surroundings,
shouted out, "Glory to God. +" This was
too much for the brethren and they
tried to lead her out, but she refused to
walk, so they carried her. On the way
she said:

the circuit court handed down de
cision in the celebrated and infamots
case of Alice McAIister 7s. john Nc
Alisteri which Was tried before him n
chambers last month. Alice Nc
Alister sued her husband for allmdGy
md maintenance, which is all the
divorce that can be had in this state.
The evidence brought out on the trial
by the defendcnt was of such vile
character that the local newspapers
refused to publish it. The decree Of
Judge Buchan is all in favor OF the
plaintiff. She is awarded $4,000 for
counsel fees and the cost of the court
and is decreed alimony at the rate of
800 per month during the joint lives
Of the parties. Provision is made for
the collection of the amount by the
court and the defendant is enjoined
and restrained from any way molest-
ing, hinacring or interfering with bis
wife IN living apart from him, Or from
entering or trespassing upon any house
or place of residence wherever the
plaintiff may reside.

OHIO DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
ENDORSES SOUND MONEY.
A Strong Position Taken on the MoL-

mated for Governor.

In spite Of James E. Campbell's earnest
and repeated protest that his friends must
not nominate him as the Democratic candi-
date for Governor OF Ohio, as he could not
make the race for various reasons, the ex-
Governor was put at the head Of the ticket
by exclamation against his will on Wednes-
day by the 500 delegates to the Ohio State
convention at Springfield. The nomination
waa forced upon the Butler county man
while he was in the midst Of a speech and in
the act Of presenting the name OF Judge
Peck. Of Cincinnati, for the same honor.
Then came graceful acceptance and the
rest OF the ticket was made up on the accla-
nation order. Senator Brice won his point
OF having only a reafiirmation OF the ma
tional currency plank inserted in the plat
form. Oh this sound money winning by
the sound majority Of 255 when the free sill

Inquiry has failed 10 bring about g
complete unfolding Of the secret is

can as sufficient rea3Gil for refusing
from $::} to s. per pound on the aver
age, which the Celestial oilers for The
root. Some Of the largest firms in
China make o speciality Of handling
the American export Of ginseng and
coin money at it. Some OF our
shrewdest traders have coaxed for the
secret, and have offered money for it,
but the gray matter at the other end
OF the Chinaman queue doesn t
seem to see it that way.
The American ginseng is growing
scarcer yearly. The cultivated root
has not the wonderful power which
fixes the value Of the wild article: 1T
least it does not manifest itself to
the same degree. This fact renders
the cultivation Of ginseng rather uh
profitable. 1t might be planted and
allowed to grow we'll for years and
years and then lie salablc at good
figures, but not otherwise The Older
the plant the more pronounced tho
wonderful properties Of the root. In
view Of the fact that it is growing
scarcer, unless The demand dimn-
ishes, the price oI ginseng must go
materially higher within the neyt
few years.
The market here is largely specu-
lative. Tie Chinese ginseng houses
eacl, year send their buyers from
California to tie East to buy up the
receipts oi ginseng. These buyers
have not yet pat III an appearance on
the Eastern market, and consequent
ly this years price has not been
fixed. Dealers are paying $3.50 in
Nashville for the reason that they
believe they can secure the Usual
prices for all they take in Some
advices, however, are to the effect
that the prices will be 20 or SO cents
lower, owing to the fact that the de-
mand has been cut Oil somewhat by
the war.
1--WE encounter some funny expert
ences IN buying the root, Tie dig
gers are often the poorest people:
and far frcrt enlightened. Well, the
root IS hard to get, and when it is
thoroughly dried the weight shrinks
like nickels worth Of soap after 4
hard days washing, so the digger re-
sorts te ali sorts of deceptions to
fudge an ounce or two in q pound,
and reap more Of the precious dimes
and dollars. For instance, we have
frequently gotten in root which was
well dried, but suspiciously heavy.
Upon investigation we found that
many of the pieces were loaded with
lead, thus almost doubling the weight
of the whole lot. This was dono
with a great deal Of cunning and in
genuity. When the root MAS green
It WAS split, and ieaG melted ana
poured CT driven in in slugs. The
root was then allowed to dry, and in
the process the seams entirely close
up, completely hiding the lead,
which, in case like this. was almost
worth its weight in gold.'
