Chief Webster, of the Philadelphia
Survey Bureau. confirms the statement
that the entire city plan was laid out
by Thomas Hollne, PENIS surveyor, by
a standard which was three inches
longer in 100 feet than the United
States standard. The extension of the
streets on the lines then laid down nec-
essarily perpetuated this original error
and extended 1t into the outlying dis
tricts.
The statute law OF Pennsylvania pro-
vides that 1.-The standard unit Of all

The secret Of raising ginseng has
been discovered at last. 1t is being
grown upon Missouri soil and cult.
waited by a Missouri farmer, says the
st. Louis Republic. China has an un-
limited demand for the ginseng root,
and because Of it's scarcity pays the
handsome price of $3.50 for a single
pound Of 1t. Heretofore the market has
been supplied from certain mountain
sections, where the herb grows wild.
Repeated attempts to cultivate 1t have
proved a failure. But, according to
Waldo Parks, a guest at the Laclede
Hotel, Spencer Brown, a farmer down
in Texas County, is c%ultivatilg an acre
Of ginseng. 1t natures in six years.
From the product Of that acre he ex-
poets to realize the modest sum of $780,
600. He will limit the product so as to
keep the price up.
Mr.. Brown says that ginseng flour
ishes in rich limestone soil, shaded
from the sun. 1t requires eighteen
months to terminate and six years for
full growth. He is making no secret
of the discovery, but explains its mys-
teries to any one
By the Chinese ginseng is considered
a medicinal ingredient of wonderful
powers. A licror is distilled from it
which is supposed to cure all diseases.
They have never been able to find the
secret Of its culture and have depended
upon the wild roots found here and
there, for their supply.

o He Won Her.

Fast he held her hand in his'n,
In a sort of love-locked prison,
While he told the burning story of the love
that rent his breast.
And the maiden sat and listened.
While her eyes with triumph glistencd,
As his %all-consuming passion he in trem-
bling tones confessed.
But she tenderly repulsed him.
How her words with pain %convulsed
him.
But he'd often heard that fainting heart
meier Won fair lady yet.
And with eyes upon that beacon, =.
Hoping that she might yet weaken,
Every point of her objection he with val
liant vigor met.
Yet the maid was unrclcnting,
Gave no token of r%epenting,
Though the burning words he uttered
seemed to almost SINCE her ears!
To his every plea emphatic,
She would shake her c%url-topped attic,
And his feeling overcame him till he al-
most burst in tears;
Then n thrill of hope ran through him
As a happy thought came to him,
And the bells of joy within him rang a
wild and merry peal
As she fell upon his bosom,
Rugged him as in ear she'd lose him
He had promised that his bridal gift
would be a chainless wheel.

"CATTLE WHIPPING" A BIG BEAR.

he passed. Bruin rose up and grOwled
ferocfOusly as the sharp sting of the
lash hit him over the shoulder. While
he was looking in that direction, An
drea passed behind him. giving him an
other sharp cut over the back. This
riled the bear terribly, and he turned
around snariipg, and started in pur-
suit. Capo thcn circled back. his little
pony entering into the sport as much
as his master. Coming near the bear,
he gave him three ~backhanded lashes,
cutting through the skin each time.
This put the bear in a white heat, and
way, showing his teeth and growing.
Andrea returned, and, as the bear
passed him, he gave him a couple of
sharp lashes, which made the big beast
vince. Bruin turned suddenly at the
last shot, and got the long lash of the
whip, and began pulling it in hand
owe hand, hoping to catch the man.
Capo, coming up, and standing off n
short distance, began plying the sting
ing lash across his shoulders and
launches in a way that made the big
beast yelp with pain. Finally the bear
dropped the lash and started for his
new tormentor. This was kept up for
fifteen OF twenty miKMtes. The bear
would first start off after one. when
the other would come in with his sting
ing COW whip, and, between the two,
Bruin was kept in q constant worry.
His growls finally lapsed into whines
Of pain and terror, and his brown coat
was tinged in many places with blood.
He had gradually worked his way up
from the beach to near the fringe of
underbrush on the bluff side. Seeing
a good opportunity, lie broke away
from his tormcntors, rushed up through
the underbrush and disappeared, the
underbrush being too thick for the men
to ride through.

How Macbeth. Who founded H. Hap
pened to Select Its Site.
The late Earl Of Cawdor was the
owner of two charming residences in
Wales-Stackpole Court. Pembroke
shire, where he died. and Golden
Grove, Carmarthenshire- these
were mere pleasure houses by compari-
son with the ancestral home Of the
Campbells, Cawdor castle at Nairn.
This fine north British dwelling re-
mained almost undisturbed from the
death Of Sir Hugh Campbell III 17l8
for a period Of nearly 100 years, when
1t was conscientiously restored by its
late owner Cawdor castle itself had
Its rise in fierce and wild age, around
which traditions Of hazy nature clus-
ter 1t is legend in Nairn that the
an old chamber Of the castle tower,
and visitors wishing to conduct them
selves with gravity and respectful rever-
ence are expected to receive this story
with an expression Of solemnity not un-
tinged with awe. That the "silver
skin" Of King Duncan was LACED with
his golden blood" in this particular
apartment is fable that need not now
be enlarged upon.
Cawdor castle by Its outward aspect
is, however, strongly suggestive in itt
gaunt and minatory massiveness Of thu
fierce and troublous times Of the ambi
tious Macbeth. The story goes that thu
thane who founded it was much con
cerned about the choice Of an abod'
and was warned in dream to place hi
worldly wealth in q Golfer and to bins
it upon the back of an ass and wher
ever the animal should halt to Sc
about his work The ass "came to
sandstill at the russetburn at the thir'
hawthorn from the starting point" an
lay down. Curiously enough. as If t
confirm this tradition, to this day Il

thorn grows The other two trees hav
disappeared, the Inst one as lately q

STARVING PEOPLE
Thousands Whose Only Thought
is for Something to Eat

New York. July 25-(Special.)
"A cable to the Herald from
Santiago de Cuba says:
Although the city of Santiago
has been under the protection of
the United States for week the
food problem still is pressing
one.
The adoption of the old Spanish
customs duties has driven away
several cargocs of supplies sent
here from Jamaica, and for the
time being tho Red Cross is the
only agency that stands between
Santiago and starvation. The
State of Texas, just before leaving
for the north, landed 400 tons of
supplies. But a great proportion
Of this was carried away, and with
100000 persons to feed the re-
mainder will be exhausted in a
few days.
-Four houses for the relief of the
starving were opened on Thursday
by George Kennan and Red Cross
nurses were placed in charge. Six
thousand persons were fed that
day and the number of applicants
since that time has more than
doubled. The leading merchants
of Santiago are cooperating with
the Americans in this charitable
work and they are doing what
they can to relieve the distress.
Soup was first delivered three
times day, but the demand was
SO great that soup kitchens are
now kept continuously open
always being surrounded by
crowds of ravenous men, women
and children, chattering in strange
tongues, clamoring for food and
scrambling indiscriminately for il
when it is not forthcoming.
