S 'evi1w In All Ages

The confessor of Francis ii. of France
refused him absolution until he had COM
plotely removed his beard
An ancient German was, by tribal GUS
tom not allowed to cut off his flowing
beard until he had killed his first man in
battle.
About the year 200 b. c. the Roman en-
peror. Scipio Africanus, inaugurated the
custom of shaving among the Roman no.
bles.
Henry I. of England wore a beard until a
courageous preacher leveled his eloquence
at him to such good purpose that he SUBJ
mitted to be shaved.
One of the early popes established the
shaving of Roman Catholic priests to dis
tinguish them from the patriarchs of Con-
stantinople. The priests of the Greek
church still wear boards.
From the time of Julius Caeser until the
advent of William the Conqueror the Brit
ons wore mustaches. but the clergy after
the conversion OF the islanders, were forced
to shave by law.
Peter the Great of Russia laid tax on
boards. and delinquents were forced to
have their faces shaved with a blunt razor
or to have the hairs pulled out with pincers
So everybody shaved.
The first shaving was done by order of
Alexander the Great, who forced the Greek
warriors to cut off their boards. as he found
them awkward impediments in the hand
to-hand contests at that time.-New York

The Fruit Crop

SAN FRANCISCO. April 30-Or-
chardists and shippers interested In
this seasons deciduous fruit crop have
been anxious for several weeks to find
out what rates would be charged by the
railroads for transportation of their
shipments this year. The tariff sheet
on the subject was issued today. 1t gives
the rates for 100 pounds in carload lots
both by freight and passenger traius.
Some important instructions concern
ing shipments are also given. The
Southern Pacific people are of the opin-
ion that fruit shipments to the east this
season will commence little later than
last year, and that the volume of ship
mems will not amount to more than
the somewhat short crop of last sea-
son.
The rate by freight-train service per
100 pounds in car ?load shipments. aC-
cording to the new sheet, is $1.25 from
California to Denver, Colorado Springs.
Pueblo, Trinidad, Council Bluffs, Oma-
ha, Kansas City, Galveston, Houston
and San Antonio. BY passenger train
time to the same points the rates is 81.
To st. Louis and New Orleans from
this state the freight train rates is $l.2t.
The passenger train rate is $2.1 The
rate by freight train to Chicago. ST.
Paul and Minneapolis is s1.25. and by
passenger service 1925. There is charge
of S1.50 by freight train to New York,
Philadelphia and Buffalo, while by pas
senger train the charge is $3.50 From
California to Boston the rate per 100
pounds in carload lots is to be 81. 06 and
by passenger trains 1886.
The above figures constitute a joint
fruit train on the part of the Southern
Pacific and the other overland lines. and
the roads running east from Chicago.
These rates are to affect only shipments
of apples. apricots, berries, cherries,
currants, figs, grapes, guavas, nectar
ines. olives, peaches, pears, plums, POM
egrantes prunes and ounces.

Baron HIrscl1

There are gratifying signs that the
weakness of Mckinley as presidential
candidate because of his record and
present position on the financial ques-
ton. is coming to be generally realized
by thoughtful Republicans. The can
vass for his nomination at st. Louis is
fast changing from an enthusiastic
movement for the champion of protec-
ton to a defensive campaign, which
seeks to excuse his admitted shuffiing
in the past and his vagueness now on
the far more vital question of the cur
rency. The more the Mckinley
organs try to explain and excuse away
the financial record of the Ohio man, the
more plain do they make his lack both
of common sense and of backbone. His
advocates are now exposing his weak
ness so clearly that everybody can see
it.--NeW York Evening Post.

 ''Where are they made, then?''
 s'The best, sir, are made about fifty seven miles outside of Paris. at little manufacturing town whose name 1 can't just now recall. The next best rings are made in Sheffield, England, while rings of inferior quality, made from Swedish iron, are manufactured in Alsace. I don't know that the steel in the French rings is any better than that used by the Sheffield manufac- turers, but the Frenchmen in this, as in so many things, have got the hang of making their things look well. The Sheffield rings are polished with oil and emery, and that gives them a dull steely look, while the French rings are polished by the dry process, with what they call 'crocus powder, a sort of coarse rouge"
 "What are the extremes in size of split rings?' the man was asked.
 ''The smallest that 1 ever handled" he replied, ''were three-sixteenths of an inch across. They are gilded when they reach this country and are used in cheap jewelry. The largest key rings I ever sold were two and half inches in diameter, and those I sold to the wardens at Sing Sing. In fact, they are called prieon rings. That key ring with the two little knobs or bosses through which you slip the key, is also a French manufacture, and indeed l have never seen an American key ring except that clumsy little thing where you have to move around a small round double plate with notch in it, and then spring out the open end of the ring through this notch. l must say," con- cluded the little man, musingly, "1 often wonder why we don't make rings over here. Even now there's forty-fve per cent. duty on them, and they could be sold at half their present price and still bring good profit. Why, just think, sell over one hun dred and fifty thousand rings year, and there must be millions of them handled every year in this country"

the possibilities in ginseng culture. I have at this writing December, '94) 3S beds in the garden stocked with roots and seeds, 25,OOo seedling roots in forest nursery beds, 21,000 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. 1 have also during the past four years furnished the public with over 60,000 seeds and about 1,500 roots for cultivation. l am aware of the general impression that ginseng culture is slow business, and that it cannot be made profitable success. 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 furth 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 Ofrom the United States during ten years, 1ss2-1s9l, 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 its 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. It is a royal monopoly, cultivated under li- cense, and the value of the crop is esti- mated at five hundred thousand dollars year.
 am often asked how can we get started in 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 years will give a good start.
