Campbell fund as it also is of the associ-

what Ginseng worth In china.

United States CONSUL johnson, station
ed at Annoy, China, gives valuable inform
alton about the use of ginseng in that cOun-
try and says that American farmers are
not getting their fair share of the worth of
that product. The total value of ginseng
root consumed in China annually is 500
100000. 1t sells in Annoy at $3.50 TO
$3.50 pound in gold, but il costs the
United States exporter only 81 to SO a
pound. All the ginseng used comes from
the United States and from Corea. The
Corean ginseng costs much more than the
American, being more skilfully cured, al
though not otherwise superior in quality.
Consul johnson is of the opinion that the
farmers who dig and cure ginseng, which
grows wild in great quantities in many of
the United States, ought to demand and
receive higher prices for it, because the
market for their product is steady and
practically unlimited one. He says:
at 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, sin order not only
that the possibilities may be disclosed, but
that knowledge of the prices may be dis
seminated to protect those who most need
the benefits to be derived from the in
dustry."

Dolls of Ancient DAYS.
a story which APPLY supplements the
"DolI show"
From the Chicago News /

After more than 20 centuries, the ruins of
Babylon and Nineveh have been unearthed,
and most frequent among the treasures
brought to light have been small terra
Gotta figures and many beautiful carvings
in ivory, which were most likely the fasci-
mating dolles Of little Assyrian ladies.
The puppets with which Greek and Roman
children amused themselves in ordinary
had their being in clay, Their arms
and legs were jointed and attached by
threads, and were to dangle about on the
doll, being shaken up and down or on a
thong or string being pulled from below.
Dolls of ivory and wax were not unknown,
but these, no doubt, were the playthings
of the richer classes. Before marrying
these maidens of classic times would make
a sacrifice of their dolls to Venus or Diana,
but if they died as children the dolls were
buried with them, and most of them we
now possess have been discovered in
tombs.
The origin of the name "dolr' has
ballled,some of the wisest and most learned,
the majority of whom have at last come to
the conclusion that it comes from ODDLY"
the diminutive of Dorothy" favorite
name of the girls in England two hundred
years ago. The word "doll' is not found
in common use in our language until the
middle of the eighteenth century. and, as
far as one can discover, first appears in
1.-The Gentleman's Magazine for Septem-
Der, l151, and the following quotation:
Several dolls with different dresses, made
in st. James street, have been sent to the
Czarina to show the manner of dressing at
present in fashion among English ladies'"
Prior to this the word used to describe
the favOrite plaything of all girls in all
countries and in all ages was baby"
which is to be found together with pup
pet in this sense in the works If most of
the great earlier writers
The earliest English "babiesn were of
rags or wood. The latter were stiff, I'M
jonted things in which the arms were
only roughly indicated, and the legs, in
most cases, not at all. The way we
arrived at the wax, china and more ex-
pensive sorts generally is curious. In the
middle of the seventeenth century there
were no ladies' fashion papers as now
Consequently, in order TO show what was
most being worn on the continent, dolls
were accurately dressed up and sent round
to the various European countries, and
from the models orders were taken for
costumes by the foreign mil'iners. The
dolls themselves, rather than their dresses,
attracted people, so that large numbers Of
little figures were imported from abroad
and the majority and the best Of them
coming from the Netherlands, were called
FLANDERS babies" 4 bartholomew
baby was a special kind sold at the old
fair OF that name, aud was celebrated for
the quantity of ribbons and mock jewelry
with which it was decked out.
