 Stocks in this market were lifeless today except Americans. which were animated on support from New York. from Germany and by a professional clique here. There was no public buying and the continental demand was chiefly for Baltimore and Ohio, Atchison preferred, Denver and Rio Grande and Southern Railway preferred. Late In the day Paris and Berlin showed disposition to sell.
 The professional interest in Americans n- creased here and many jobbers are migrat- ing from the Kaffir to the American mar ket. The Kafir market was so woefully stagnant that a migration somewhere was a necessity from professional point of view. Grand Trunk after a period of dullness, was strong in the street on Montreal clique buying.

The digging of ginseng root for the
Chinese market is au American indus.
try not generally known. aud an in.
dustry, moreover, that will never be
Overdone.
Ginseng root is becoming scarcer
every year. 1t is of slow growth,
requiring two years to form a leaf aud
eight or ten to make root of any
value. The age of the root is deter
mined by a little ring added each wear
to the plant. 1t is highly valued by
apothecaries here, but even more so
in China, where it can be gathered
only by permission OF the emperor.
1t is popularity supposed there to com.
bat fatigue and to indefinitely post
pone old age. 1t takes three pounds
of the green roots to make one pound
of the dry product, which brings from
81 to - per pound. The diggers
leave a piece of the root in the ground
to grow, and plant the seed, which,
when ripe, is inclosed in a pinkish
pod. The Canadian Jesuits were the
first to begin the shipment of the root
to China. New York Tribune.

What Doctor. Think Of Wearing Rub


Here's the first law Of health-kccp
Vs,r t,st dry. We all know IT, We
an know that pneumonia and con-
sumption always start with a cold,
and that the shortest cut to a cold Is a
pair of wet feet. But it's so impor-
taut a matter that We can't be remind
ed too often, especially when the re-
minder carries the weight of authority.
DIR. Wendell G. Phillips, one Of the
most distinguished physicians in New
York, was recently giving a lecture ON
Goods, and How 10 Prevent Them.
1t was a rainy night, and he began;
Chow many persons here wore rub
bers tonight? Hands up.
"Not half Of you. Now, that IS
what | thought. Every one OF you
should have rubbers on a night like
this. To go without them is to invite
colds, bronchial trouble, catarrh and
pneumonia. 1t is astonishing how
people neglect their feet. Rubbers
are fifty cents. You can save lot OF
money on the inyestment-perhaps a
ten-days' doctor bill, to say nothing OF
medicine
The doctor might have made it still
stronger and said that a tifty-cent pair
of rubbcrs would not only save doctor
bills and medicine bills, hut often life
itself Don't try to save on rubbers;
it's the most expensive economy IN
the world, especially Just now when
everybody is getting the grip.

maybe they are something like the
sneezes you used to wear" he sug-
gested.
Il never wore sneezes.
"Well. fchus then; if that is not a
sneeze don't know what it is; but
where the 'clergyman's rabies can be
in that coat have no notion Of; there
are $50 OF them anyhow that you must
pay for"
The young woman who brought the
coat was called up and Intercepted.
when it came to light that an inch
wide band Of minute buttons garnish-
ing the coat all around was composed
OF what are known in commerce as
''clergyman's rabies, - such as are
used on black silk We tmentS. They
are little molds of wood covered with
silk aud command a high price be-
cause they cannot be reproduced IN
inferior quality aud must be set on by
hand; hence they are highly esteemed
for the garnishlng OF costly garments.
The rather remarkable name of this
new garniture is derived from the
manufacturer who devised them first
for sacerdotal robes. Finding that
they were adopted by fashion he set
aside the income derived from their
sale for little son, called Rab
Robert, labelling the small buttons
"Rabbies. To MS eldest daughter
he gave the proceeds OF the most ex-
pensiye button made in his establish
ment for her wedding dover. But in
three years of sale the "clergyman's
rabies" netted more money than the
dollar-dpiece buttons did in ten years.
