pounds, the average price that year
being "a cents pound. This was high
tide. Since that year the amount ex-
ported has annually decreased and the
price increased. Last season 250,000
pounds were exported and the average
price was 81 pound.
One reason why Chinese ginseng
brings a higher price than the Ameri-
can root is due to the care exercised
in preparing it for the market. Amer:
ican diggers simply wash the roots and
dry them in the sun or in an attic.
In China the roots are scrubbed clean
and macerated for three days in water
in which rice has been boiled, then
placed in a covered vessel and slowly
dried over fire until hard and brittle.
When the drying is finished the roots
are yellow and semi-transparent. Am
erican consuls in China have often in.
formed the state department of the
manner in which American ginseng
reaches, the Chinese market and have
often advised better care in preparing.
The faith of the Chinese in the gin-'
seng root has not wavered in centuries
and is likely to continue for ages to
come. One of the presents given LII
Hung Chang on his recent visit to New
York was a fine collection of ginseng
roots, and it is doubtful if any gift
could have pleased him more. If Amer
ica is to continue to profit to the ex-
tent of a million dollars or more
wear, the extinction of the wild plant
through the ignorance of diggers must
be stopped by laws such as Kentucky
has passed but such laws it must be
admitted are hard to enforce. The de-
partment of agriculture has taken
hand in the matter and systematic
effort will be made to show the diggers
the folly of digging the plants before
the berries are ripe and the necessity
of planting the berries.
The ginseng diggers are not q dis
tinct type. In New York and Penn
sylvania many of them are farmer
boys who spend a month in the woods
after harvesting. Five young fellows
near here earned money to visit the
Worlds fair by digging ginseng. An
other young fellow has paid all the ex'
penses of normal course in the same
way. In every community there are
two or three men who spend their
time in hunting, fishing and finding bee
trees. These men always hunt GIN
sing and are usually experts. Nearly
all the mountain people in Kentucky
and Tennessee dig ginseng and rely on
it to furnish the food to tide them over
the winter months. Ginseng is grow
ing scarcer every year, and unless
great care is exercised, this profitable
industry will be destroyed.

SHOOTING In THE FIELD.-The re-
liable rules for shooting flying birds
are as follows: Hold trife low for
a bird apparently flying straight away
from the gun hold just above bird
rapidly rising without side motion
hold the same for bird going straight
away and close to the ground; hold
above and ahead of birds rising and
going to right and left; hold ahead OF
birds going straight to right and left ;
hold ahead and below birds going to
right and left and lowering; hold dead
on an incomer (and give it to him
quickly, for every yard the closer the
smaller the spread of the shot); hold
ahead of birds passing above you.
Last, but not least, never check the
even swing of the gun in a quarterlng
shot.
At a goose or duck passing overhead
prefer to truly cover the mark, then
advance the gun till only the tip of the
birds bill is visible, or when rather
high, till the muzzle leads its object by
the proper distance, and then Instant
ly pull the trigger. When the gun
has to lead the bird in this position, no
hesitancy should be INDUCED in after
the muzzle has passed ahead of the
bill, for the shooter cannot then see his
game, and any sudden change of flight
NAV prove disastrous. This is shot
at which most men fail by shooting be-
hind.--Ed. w. Sandys in Outing.

GENERAL LAWTON ON THE FILIPINOS.
What They Are Today and What They
Are Capable OF.


Are Capable OF.
Rev. Peter MacQueen, pastor of the
Congregational church in Somerville,
who has been for months with our
army in the island of Luzon, writes in
the Boston Congregationalist of an in
terview which he had with Major Gen
eral Henry w. Lawton. Here is what
the general said of the native people
1.-THE Filipinos are very fine set OF
soldiers. They are far better than the
Indians. The latter never fight unless
thew have the absolute advantage.
The Tagals are what I would call
civilized race. They are good mechan'
les, imitative.-they manufacture every
thing. They have arsenals and cart
ridge factories and powder mills.
They can manufacture everything they
need. There is q rude arm they are
getting the knack of making. TAX
ing everything into consideration, the
few facilities they have, the many
drawbacks, they are very ingenious
and artistic race. And taking into ac'
count the disadvantages they have to
fight against in arms, equipment and
military discipline, without artillery,
short of ammunition, powder inferior,
shells reloaded until they are de-
fective, inferior in every particular of
equipment and supplies, they are the
bravest men / have ever seen.
The Filipinos are not military ny ma
ture. They are rather domestic in
tastes and habits, peace loving and in
dustrious. Nine-tenths of the people
OF the islands will strongly favor peace,
even at the expense of some OF their
theories, wishes and hopes. believe
that with liberal government such as
the United States can and will estab'
lish they will be peaceable, thrifty,
happy people. 1 believe that it was a
great misfortune that we were not able
to give them a chance to sample our
government before hostilities opened.
The only thing we have to fear Is
from ambitious youths who want to
control for financial reasons, that they
may practice what the Spanish have
taught them.
Among the Filipinos there are many
cultured people who would ornament
society anywhere in the world. La
dies who have studied and Travelled,
men who have had good education
and fine brain. Take them as a class
there can as many of them read and
write as the inhabitants in many places
in America. AS for their treachery,
Won would not have to come so far as
this to find that. There is plenty OF
il in North America. All nations are
treacherous more or less. Some men
and nations have treachery trained out
of them more than others. What we
want is to stop this accursed war. 1t
is time for diplomacy, time for mutual
understandings. These men are in
domitable. At Bacoor bridge they
waited till the Americans brought their
cannon to within 35 yards of their
trenches. Such men have the right to
be heard. All they want is a little
Justice. I established civil govern
ment at Beliuag, with the government
