Charleston was a thriving and pros

We visited the court house and gov

Taking all in all the trip was an

those in need of recreation to take a
trip over the Ohio Central lines, viz:

would say, let him go and spend

Mr.. John McLain, whose pict-
ures have taken the first prize in all
the state conventions, where exhib-
tied, was employed by the Associated
Press, to obtain photographs of the
sham railroad collision at Buckeye
park, on last Saturday. Mr.. McLain
has secured photographs, by the light
ming process, at the very moment
when the crash occurred. They are
realistic, and those who witnessed
the collision, will prize picture as
valuable memento, and those who
did not see the sight should get
picture. Mr.. McLain has all the
modern appliances for taking pict-
ures. He is an artist and knows how
to place ard pose his subjects to the
best advantage. Stop at his rooms

This Cannot Be Disputed.

A good road is the main artery of traffic. A village whose approaches are accessible and well kept is bound to thrive. A poor road at once brands the country wherein it exists as retro gressive or bankrupt ard not worth traversing.-Sidney Hackes, Melrose, New York City.

the possibilities in ginseng culture. I have at this writing December, '94) 3s beds in the garden stocked with roots and seeds, 25,O00 seedling roots in forest nursery beds, 2l,O00 seeds sown in forest, from which plants are expected next spring, and this seasons crop of seed, packed in loam in condition to promote germination, ready to be sown next season. have also during the past four years furnished the public with over 60,000 seeds and about 1,50O roots for cultivation. I am aware of the general impression that ginseng culture is slow business, and that it cannot be made a profitable success. 1 admit that 1t is slow starting and must be worked up from small beginnings, but when once fairly started can be developed quite rapidly. But no one need think he can rush into ginseng culture and make fortune in one or two years Setting few roots or sow ing few seeds, and giving it no turth- CT attention, will never develop ginseng culture on paying basis It won't spread over your ground like weeds.
 To my mind the business is best suited to the small farmer and market gardener.
 A Chinaman came to Boston a few years ago wanting five hundred tons of ginseng-he succeeded in getting about four hundred pounds. This is the way we are supplying the demand. The ex- ports of ginseng pfrom the United States during ten years, 1sS2-1S9f, amounted to nearly eight million dol lars-an item of some importance. This valuable source of income will soon be thing of the past, unless an effort is made to develop it's cultiva- tion, as the wild plant is fast being ex- hausted in this country.
 Ginseng is native in China, Tartary and Korea It has been cultivated in Korea for hundreds of years Ht is a royal monopoly, cultivated hnder li- cense, and the value of the crop is esti- mated at five hundred thousand dollars a year.
 am often asked how can we get startedsin ginseng culture. My advice to all is to go into the forest, gather the wild roots and transplant them. A few weeks devoted to this work each year for few Syears will give good start.

FRUIT FOR OLD ENGLAND The Finest Pick of the
 Orchards. Five Carloads for the London
 Market. The Fruit at It's European Destina- ton in Good Condition and
 Brings Good Prices.

Sacramento Bee: Five cars of the California Fruit Transportation con- pany left last night freighted with choice fruit for the European market, and in less than two weeks will be on sale on all the fruit stands in "Merrie'' England, and some will find its way across the channel to that modern Sodom and Gomorrah, Paris.
 Four of these cars are shipped by Porter Brothers company and the fruit is from the orchards of Allen Anderson, Suisun, Oakdale Fruit com pany, Davisville, O. R. Runyon, G. A. Smith, Joseph Green and Dwight Hol- lister, Sacramento River district, Jesse Aiken, American River district, and Frank H. Buck, Yacaville.
 The prices so far received for Lon don shipments have been highly sat- isfaetory The fruit arrived in excel lent condition and found ready sale. The next special weekly European shipment will go forward next Tues day, August il. The shipment which left here last "Wednesday arrived in New York yesterday morning and was transferred to an ocean steamer and put in cold storage in the afternoon.
 The time from Sacramento to New York was less than six and one-half days, a record breaker for a fast freight train of ten cars. The cars were iced but once en route and that was at Chicago.
 California fruit has won its way in England and it is stated on good au- thority that the sale of the canned product in London has doubled itself in the past two years.
 The total shipments for the twenty four hours ending a. m today, in- cluding the five cars for London, was forty-eight carloads, which is ten in excess of the same date last year. Of those Chicago will get fifteen, New York eleven, Boston eight, Philadel- phia, Denver, Omaha, Kansas City, Minneapolis and St. Paul, one each. The cargo consisted of twelve and one fourth cars of peaches, seven and one half of plums, three-quarters of grapes and twenty-seven and one-quarter of pears.
 Eastern sales today were as follows: Chicago, 15; New York, 13; Boston, 8; Kansas City and Minneapolis, 9 each Pittsburg, Denver, Cleveland, St. Paul, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Mon treal, one each.

A GREAT SNAKE COLONY.

An Australian Enthusiast Has Fine Col
 lection of Venomous Reptiles.
 Mir. J. McGarvie Smith, an eminent baeterielogist of Sydney, Australia, is the proprietor of probably the greatest collection of snakes in the world, says the New York World. He is in the business partly for scientific purposes and partly for business. He advertised some time ago for 800 venom ous reptiles, but one publisher refused to permit the advertisement until he had satisfied himself of the sanity of the scientist.
 The different species of venomous number Az, and Mir. Smith has speci- mems of all of them. The poison ex- tracted from the reptiles is largely used in the Pasteur institute in Paris.
 MT. Smith is an enthusiast on the subject of snakes, and regards them as the most wonderful of living creatures. He has in his collection serpents that have gone nearly year without food and are still fat He has injected some of their own poison into them without the slightest ill-effects to them. As a result of his investigations he has estab- lished the fact that a non-poisonous snake is not affected in any way by the poison of the venomous species.
 "Why." said Smith, ''it does not kill one of it's own species while it is so fatal to other creatures is one of the myste- ries of the Almighty which we cannot unravel."

Gave the Servants Away.

A parrot in a certain family was usually kept in the dining-room with the family, but during the winter was removed to the kitchen for greater warmth. When the winter was past it again made it's appearance among the family, whom it amused with the new remarks it had picked up in the kitchen. On oge occasion, when the bell had been rdng for something, the parrot was heard remarking from his cage: "Let 'em ring again!"

MILITARY SYSTEM GERMAN Y
The Country That Has Been the War
 School of Europe.

The Country That Has Been the war
 School of Europe.
 The military history and successes of Germany have easily made her the war school of Europe, and the scien tifc de- velopment of the military art, to which she is indebted for the overthrow of Austria and France in her later wars, has compelled the others to follow her example and initiate her methods even to the particulars of organization and equipment, though unable probably to rival her in systematic thoroughness of preparation and sustained attention to detail. The system evolved by Germany and now substantially common to all the continental states, says the North American Review, is as whole simple enough, and has for its practical object the conversion, so far as may be, of the entire nation into military body with the largest amount of training that the finances and other public exigencies will permit.
 The controlling principles may be summarized as follows: 1. Liability to service universal, and actual service compulsory at the discretion of the state. ?. The thorough training and maintenance under arms in readiness for immediate service of as large force as practicable. 3. A secure simplicity and perfection of organization and equipment in every particular, large and small 4. The formation, as rap idly as may be, of a regular reserve, from which the active ranks can be at once expanded from a peace to a war footing with fully trained men. 5. The formation and partial training of a militia, which in the absence of the regular troops is to occupy garrisons and forts, construct defenses, maintain order at home, and supply the waste of war by filling vacancies in the field. 6. The enrolment of every citizen into a force that may be levied en masse in case of invasion. 7. Careful study and solution, in advance, of every possible military complication in order that prompt and concerted action shall fol- low declaration of war.

NECkTIE BAROMETERS.

 Weather Conditions.

Fabric Changes Color with Varying
 Weather Conditions. < A fabric that changes color under varying conditions of the weather has just been produced.
 No practical of the new invention has yet been made, except a few sample neckties which the inventor has dis tributed among his friends. The fab ric of which the neckties are made, says Answers, resembles a coarse linen. When the weather is warm and fair the color is a dark blue. In cold weather it changes to purple. The approach of rain is heralded by pink, and snow causes the necktie to become startling green.
 The invention marks a new era i'll fashions. Shirts, trousers, gowns and other articles of dress can be made of the material. The invention is yet in its infancy. When it has been developed to greater extent the woman of fash ion can array herself in a blue gown in the morning. By noon it will turn to a mauve. The afternoon will find it pink, and the evening some other color.
 AS labor-saving institution the new cloth is exceedingly valuable. Ther- mometers and barometers will go out of fashion. The "city man" as he puts on his shirt in the morning has but to glance at the color. If it isspurple, he wears his heaviest overcoat. If it is pink, he takes his umbrella under his arm. When sails are made of chameleon cloth the yachtman has but to glance at his mainsail to know what kind o1 weather is coming.

Neil lLivingstone-who was not a rich man-was just lighting his pipe as the news was broken. He put it down unit. "If we have got to give it up,' he said, Eve may as well begin now."

SENSES OF THE BLIND.
The Singular Acuteness of One Who Is
 Sightless.


 Sightless.
 Throughout my whole life, says a blind person in the Argosy, my blind ness has had this remarkable feature in it: always have before my eyes bril- liant light, so that the whole air around me seems, as it were, incandescent. I appear to be walking in light. In this light can call up at will all sorts of beautiful colors, which I see mingled with the radiance and forming part of it. Thus my blindness has always been for me in certain way bright ness.
 As I grew older there came to me other abnormal peculiarities, which have been mercifully sent as compen- sations. I can always tell when others are looking at me, and l can generally tell whether they are looking at me in kindness or the reverse. My sense of hearing is extremely sensitive, and through it I can read character in the tones of the voices of men and women around me.
 I can also discern character accurate ly in the touch of the hand. I have certain instincts for which I have no exact name, which sometimes make me foresee future events. My senses of touch and smell are excessively del icate.

Blishts Matrimonial Prospects.

In the reign of Louis NV. solemn edict was passed in France to the follow ing effect: "Whosoever, by means of red and white paint, perfumes, essences, artificial teeth, false hair, cotton wool, iron corsets, hoops, shoes with high heels, or false hips, should seek to in- Guce into the bonds of marriage any male subject of his majesty shall be prosecuted for witchcraft and declared incapable of matrimony."

LAST CHANGE.

Alkire's have offered wearers of straw hats several opportunities this summer to bring their headgear cheap CT than ever before, and although they have sold several thousand straw hats they have straw hats left. Now they will not carry such goods over and try to sell them next year for brand new because they don't do business that way. Alkire's straw hats this season made a great hit because they were distinctly new, SO to be sure and close out the present stock they will from now on until all are gone sell straw hats at cost and below cost. If any doubt this let them call at the big store and ask prices. They will have no difficulty in convincing themselves that there is one firm that can and will sell straw hats at cost. There will be at least six weeks of very sum- merry weather yet and every we'll dressed gentleman can afford to treat themselves to a new straw hat just to close the season in as good taste as they began it.
 DeMund Bros. will sell you lumber cheaper than any one. Get their prices before buying. A large and well assorted stock to select from.
