A Wonderful Drug.

All through eastern Asia plant grows
which is called ginseng. 1t is indigenous
to Japan, China, Korea and Manchuria.
At its full growth it stands about foot to
a foot and half high. The flower is pur-
pie and develops into a bunch of brilliant
red berries. The stalk supports Il single
leaf. Tho plant grows wild and is in this
state the most valuable, being extremely
rare, probably because it is so eagerly
sought after. Indeed it is worth more
than its weight in gold. The cultivated
plant is less costly, but is the one indis-
pensable drug Of the regions where it
grows. The fields are very carefully guard
ed, watchmen being stationed on high
perches and kept on duty day and night,
lest thieves break through and steal the
precious vegetable 1t takes six years for
the plants to reach their full maturity;
then the roots are used incidentally and are
considered panacea for all the ills of life.
1t is said that scarcely dose is prepared
in these countries in which ginseng does
not appear in one form or other. The prep
aratiou of this dccOction is curious proc
ess 1t is cooked in dish resembling our
farina kettle, being a double boiler, with
hollow cover. The root is placed inside of
the pot. The hollow cover is filled with
rice, and the whole is baked over a brisk
fire. When the rice is DONE the ginseng
tea or drink is supposed to be sufficiently
cooked and is drank with the utmost faith
in its efficacy New York Ledger.

No. s7e.-A Conundrum.

A young man who was going to escort
his sweetheart to a holiday party made the
unnerving discovery that he had no clean
collar to wear; so he carried one of his
soiled ones to the only laundress living in
the place He had become very angry at
her the week before because she had ruined
some of his linen, and he had resolved
never to employ her again, but this was an
urgent case. and he had no time to send
his collar away and get it back before the
party. Moreover, he didn't want to buy
one rs his money was rather low. When
he called for the collar in the afternoon, it
was all ready for him, and inspection
proved that it was "done up beautifully.
He offered her , cents in payment, but she
told him it was worth 10 cents to bother
with just one collar The young man be-
came very angry again. but paid the laun-
dress the price she asked Why did the
woman's act in the forenoon resemble
what she did in the afternoonf

SANTA FE, N. M.


1t F1Ourished Before Columbus Sailed.
The oldest Church and House.
In Santa Fe are the military headquar-
tiers for New Mexico, it being also the old
est military establishment in America,
created by the Spaniards in 1909, and in
almost continuous occupation ever since.
Here, too is the oldest house in the United
States, in which Coronado is said to have
lodged in 1910, and, perhaps even more in
teresting, here is the Oldest church, San
Miguel, built about 1913, partially destroy
ed in 1850, wholly restored in 1710, the
restorers leaving intact all that was posi-
Bile of the old roof, hewn by Indians under
the guidance of the fathers.
In this church is the great bell, almost
solid, cast in 1886, and having an inscrip-
ton in Spanish round it rs band the
letters and figures being still we'll raised
In the solid casting This bell was brought
over from Spain and hung in the tower,
but finally, being thought too heavy for
the tower, was removed to a substantial
timber support in the entrance to the
church. In the cathedral and other church.
es are remarkable reredoses, paintings and
vestments, many of them of considerable
antiquity, all inviting the visitor to linger
in this home Of the past. But the city Is
also city of the present, and very pleas
ant present it is An equable climate and
delightful sunshine hover over streets in
which the houses hay enough of the sane
tity of age to diffCee rcstful spirit in the
air. These houses are often from one to
two centuries old, usually of one story, with
thick adobe (sun dried brck) walls, deep
embrasures to the plain doors and windows
abutting on the sidewalk under piazza
and giving not the slightest hint of the
wealth of coy comfort and elegance to be
found inside. The rooms are usually large
and numerous, arranged round placita,
or Moorish court generally from 90 to rs
feet square. The court is laid out as gar
den and entered from the street by a wood
en- gate let into the wall of the house, in
line with the doors and windows. This
gate at once shuts out intruders and the
gaze Of the outside world while house and
garden together form an ideal home.
Fruitful orchards and fertile lands lie
round about the city, which is at once a
monument to the spirit of the past and the
activity, beauty and progress of the present
age.-New York Herald.
