Van Wyck rode the five miles over the
frozen roads to the little schoolhouse in
the valley.
When he walked into the building, the
young Confederates were chatting under
the restraints that were keeping them from
the front. They were talking wildly over
the latest fragments of news from the bat
tlefield. which was put together piece by
piece.
Loud and deep were the curses they were
sending TO high heaven against the north
and Lincoln. Van Wyck listened but he
had nothing to say. With his ears tin
CLING from the cold he jumped on the
highest desk i'm the room and waved his
hand above his head The boys watched
him. Before they had time to ask his
meaning he opened wide his throat and
sent up yells for President Lincoln.
Not soul moved. The five dozen SOL
diers were struck to the floor. The decla l.
ration for Lincoln was too bold and daring
Again the boy cried, "Three cheers for
Lincolnl" From all sides of the room the
boys In concerted movement dashed for
ward and pulled Van Wyck from his perch.
Down with the traitorl" they cried.
Van Wyck expected the storm that fol-
lowed his speech. AS he hit the floor he
swung his right arm and saw stream OF
blood flow from a boys nose. With a
Shrek Of rage the chap fell back. Another
took his place. Another swing left anoth-
er broken nose. Then the crowd surged
and fought the child from all sides.
Finally they were pulled off, and Van
Wyck was led away limp and sore. An
investigation was had, and the matter was
brought TO the attention of the school
board, but nothing came of it. An apology
was afterward sent to Van Wyck by his
enemies, who had to admit his fight was
the pluckiest in the history Of the village
A month or two later Robert Van Wyck
went to New York and has never since
returned to South Carolina. Many OF his
Kin reside there, and within the borders
OF the state no name is more honored than
that Of Van Wyck. New York Journal

New jersey Ground Hog Day.

The annual ground hog day in Freling-
huysen township, N. j., was recently OBJ
served, and everybody near and far took
a vacation and presented himself to the
township committee, which met at the
Warrenwood hotel In Marksboro. The
country folks came by wagon, on foot and
on bikes and 1t was most amusing sight
to witness the bundles they brought with
them, all sizes and shapes. and one old
lady brought a little train trunk which
she said was century old and which con-
tained goo ground hog scalps all carefully
packed and we'll cured. The township
committee offered 80 cents bounty on all
ground hogs and IL cents for all fox scalps
This was big incentive to the country
folk, and for a whole year they have SET
traps and hunted the pestiferous hog ana
the poultry destroying fox with great sue
cess. -Philadelphia Press.

greatly needed competent assistants TO aid
him in his researches and especially to
take charge of his various parties engaged
in field work. Some English friends trav-
cling in Norway called his attention to
young naturalist who had shown daring
and ability in collecting the skeletons of
whales along the Norway coast and had
brought them together in the museum of
Bergen, where he was an assistant with
small pay and little hope of advancement.
The suggestion that he should go to
America and aid Professor Marsh in his
Rocky mountain work fired the magma
ton of this young beginner in science and
he was enthusiastic to start at once Be-
fore arrangements for his departure could
be concluded, however, he received such
promotion and recognition at home that
he resolved to remain in his fatherland.

BIG MARKET FOR GINSENG.
Consul johnson Thinks American Farm
ers Should Get Better Prices For 1t.


ers Should Get Better Prices For 1t.
According to the estimate of Consul
Johnson of Annoy, the total value of GIN
seng roots consumed in China each year
amounts to $50. 600, 000 In Annoy ginseng
sells at $50 to $50 (Mexican), or $3.50 to
Sl7. so (gold), pound, and it costs the ex-
porter in the United States SO to SO q
pound In 1896 the Annoy market took
SSS, 5l7 worth (gold) of ginseng from the
United States, besides 544, 222 worth from
Korea. The Korean ginseng costs much
more than the American, being more skill
fully cured, although not otherwise super
rior in quality 1t will be observed that
the exporter of ginseng from the United
States to China reaps big profit. Consul
Johnson is of the opinion that the farmers
who dig and cure ginseng, which grows
wild in great quantities in many of the
states, ought to demand and receive high
er prices for it because the market for
their product is a steady and practically
unlimited one. He says:
1T is used as an invigorating tea by all
the wealthy Chinese and as medicine by
the native physicians. 1t enters largely
into the list of presents sent by the wealthy
to friends and the articles exchanged be-
tween high officials 1t is bought by the
middle classes throughout the entire en-
pire, and even the poor peasants give up
their hard earned silver for this national
panacea.
The consul expresses the hope that these
facts may be brought to the attention OF
chambers of commerce in the states and
districts interested "in order not only that
the possibilities may be disclosed, but that
knowledge of the prices may be dissent
mated to protect those who most need the
benefits to be derived from the industry y
