eled it was discovered that the swine were
following, proceeding to which "Shep"
seemed to have no objection, and when
the next camp was pitched the followers
grunted about contentedly. Page says that
the hogs became great pets and kept the
company of the "seng hunters for fifty
miles, swimming all the streams crossed
to keep up with the procession.
The Ohio river was reached at Point
Pleasant and crossed to Gallipolis and the
journey continued to Dayton, and thence
to the Indiana line. The Hoosier state
was crossed and Illinois entered at Kan
kakee, when the schooner was headed di-
rect for the Rock river country.
1t was fall when the family reached
home and the roots were planted along
the fence rows of Pages big town-lot and
around the north side of the house, among
the roots of shrubbery and trees of all
kinds. These roots have now sDrouted

bear seed it win be gathered and set out
in beds in the large lot adjoining the
house. The ground is being prepared for
this purpose. The soil is light and rich
and the plot is well situated for the pur-
pose intended.
Ginseng must be planted, either roots
or seed, in a shady place. 1t thrives
best away from the sun. The seed must
not be permitted to get dry or it will not
sprout. The places best adapted for its
growth are where there are fruit or for
est trees. The ground should be as near
ly like natural earth as possible. Beds
something like those in which onions are
planted are the best adapted for 'seng''
raising. The rows are twelve or sixteen
inches apart, and the roots or seeds are
planted four to six inches apart. They
are covered with leaves, decayed wood
or forest loan. Plants produced from the
root will bear seed the same year, though
Il requires eighteen months to germinate
Seed so produced is planted in the fall
of the same year. Seed is planted each
year for three years, when marketing Of
roots may be commenced.
The New York Sun man claims to have
produced from five and a half rods Of
earth eighty-four pounds Of roots, which
marketed for $405. In 1895 he claims to
have raised from two rods thirty and one
fourth pounds, which brought him Sl6l
and left him 1900 roots to put back in
the ground.

Gard cases of Powered silk are novelty

The small silver coat of arms has taken
the place of the monogram on pocketbooks

and bids fair to become immensely popu-

Lace Is playing no humble role Just now.
The latest gloves for evening wear are of

used to run.
The wearing of white silk gloves is be-
ing universally hailed by women. These
gloves come in all lengths, some being
styled mousquetaire and others shorter
clasped with pretty pearl buttons. They
are easily washed and are worn with thin
gowns or with the pretty shirt waist and
duck skirt.
A Partisan touch is given to the regula-
ton white pique Elton coat and skirt by
wearing a white tulle vest and a black
gauze scarf, which fastens underneath
the jacket on either side of the front,
crosses at the waist, and ties behind with
long sash ends. The front of the jacket
should be cut out in some odd shape to
display the vest, and. with a stiff white
linen collar and bright plaid necktie, the
effect is stunning

Cutting the ends of il cannot possibly
make it grow, although it does prevent
the hair from splitting up; nor can the
hair become white in a night no more

that is perfectly impossible. Many of the

All that Russia requires is farsight-
ed, heroic czar who, comprehending the
needs of today, as Peter the Great did
those of 200 years ago, shall complete
the work begun by him, commit Russia
irrevocably to occidentalism and liberal
ism and thus earn for her the sympathy
and respect instead of the jealousy and
dread of other nations Should such a
czar arise it would be wisdom on the
part of Europe to allow Russia to graft
fy her two legitimate ambitions, in the
pursuit of which she has hitherto been
thwarted, especially by Great Britain.
These ambitions are: ID To complete
the subjugation of the barbarous Tar
tars by annexing Turkey to her domin-
ions, and (2) to possess ice free ports for
the development of navy and of mer-
chant shipping. While as despotic, she
ought to be thwarted in every way, as
liberal, she ought to enjoy all the rights
OF liberal nations and be permitted to
have her own way in Turkey and China,
just as England has had hers in Egypt
and India. A liberal Russia, with her
long cherished ambitions once satisfied,
would be not only the peace keeper Of
Europe, but also one Of its most potent
civilizing influences, equalling, perhaps
surpassing-so gifted is her people-the
other nations in culture, humanity and
Righteousness. But whether Russia is
to be blessed with liberal car or not
there is no reason to fear her supremacy
If she remain coarsely despotic, it can
not last; if she become liberal, it can be
only blessing. Forum.

SLATE PENCILS.
What They Are Composed of and How
They Are Made.

What They Are Composed of and How
They Are Made.
Slate pencils undergo a number Of
processes before they are ready for use,
and in making them nearly all Of the
manual labor is done by boys First
broken pieces Of slate are put into a
mortar run by steam and are crushed to
a powder, which is then bolted in ma
chine such as is used in Touring mills.
A fine slate flour results, which is thor
oughly mixed in large tub with stea-
tite flour and other materials, the whole
making stiff dough. The dough is
kneaded by being passed between iron
rollers a number of times, and it is then
taken to table, where it is made into
short cylinders four or five inches in
thickness and containing from eight to
ten pounds of material each.
Four of these cylinders are placed in
strong iron resort which has change
able nozzle so that the size of the pen
ellis may be regulated. In the retort the
material is subjected to great hydraulic
pressure and is thus pushed through the
nozzle in the shape of long cord AS
the cord comes through the nozzle it
passes over knife and is cut into the
desired lengths The lengths are laid
on boards to dry and are then placed on
sheets of corrugated zinc, the corrugation
preventing the pencils from varying
during the baking process. The baking
is done in kiln into which superheat-
ed steam is introduced through pipes.
The pencils go from the kiln to the
finishing and packing room, where the
ends are held for an instant under a
rapidly revolving emery wheel, which
neatly points them.
Finally they are packed in pasteboard
boxes, 100 pencils in each box, then 100
of the pasteboard boxes are packed in a
wooden box, and they are ready for
shipment. Philadelphia Times.

Payn knew Thackeray intimately,
and has some entertaining "reminiscences
of his editorial troubles when Thackeray
presided over the fortunes of The Corn
hill Magazine. Communications from
his contributors, and especially the
would be ones, annoyed and often dis
tressed him. Payn recalls his complain
ing of one Of them with vigor and ir-
ritation which amused him exceedingly.
A young fellow had sent him a long
story, for which he demanded particu-
lar attention ''from the greatest of nov
elists' upon the ground that he had a
sick sister entirely dependent upon him
for support. Thackeray was touched by
the appeal and, contrary to his custom,
wrote his correspondent long letter of
advice, inclosing also-which was by
no means contrary to his custom-some
pecuniary assistance. 81 feel for your

truest kindness both to her for whom

once to some other industry"
This produced reply from the young
man that astonished Thackeray a great
deal more than it surprised Payn. 1t
was couched in the most offensive terms
conceivable and ended by telling the
"great novelist that, although he had
attained by good luck to the top of the
tree, he would one day find himself

A TEST FOR HoRsEFLEsH.
But Even q Chemist Cannot Always Rec
ognize 1t.

DuG Even - Cuemlsg Ch0uOC Always hec-
Ognize 1t.
People are apt to jump at conclu-
sions, said chemist in speaking of
the latest notable murder case. Chem
istry is very nice science, but it is
possible to make some sad blunders in
applying it to law and evidence. There
are certain things you can prove by it
if you are sure of your premises and
certain other things that you cannot
This thing of trying to prove good
deal by chemistry calls to mind the beef
extract case that gave a packer in this
city considerable uneasiness.
Somebody got hold of his beef ex-
tract and claimed that it was made from
horsefesh, and it was proved by analy-
sis-that is, to the satisfaction of the
man that analysed it. The ordinary test
for horsehesh, according to the authori-
ties, is glycogen. This is substance
that, speaking in general way, is
found in horsefesh, but does not exist
in beef, and it was shown that this par
ticular extract contained glycogen.
1.-THE packer came to us in some dis
tress Of mind for way out of the diff
Guilty. He said his extract was made of
nothing but beef, and he wanted us to
help him prove it, and we did so to his
relief and to the satisfaction of the
health officers. We demonstrated that,
while an ordinary piece of beef did not
contain glycogen, it existed in the
heart, liver and blood of cattle, and
some of each of these might have en-
tered into the making of the beef ex-
tract. The result was that the chemist
who had arrived at such sweeping con-
illusions from the first test had to back
down from his position. Chicago

Dick of 1880 and Cranter make their
way through the crowd into another

seated in low chair, in listless atti-

He sits beside her She is much more

has pitiful droop at the corners, and
the clear brown eyes are sad with I'M

Dick of 1880 only bows and moves
away, and Dick of today looks at the
fading mist of tobacco smoke, and even
when it has cleared, for the good reason
that his pipe is out, there is a little
mist, as of an autumn evening, between
him and the fire. He is not uncompre-

and takes up his candle, saying: "And
