fads based on a revival of lost GUS
toms. Anyway, a brief study of the
hour glass will do nobody harm. There
are thousands in this generation who
have not the slightest idea what an
hour glass looks like, and it won't hurt
them to broaden their education lit
tie along certain lines
'Of the hour glasses sold at present
the three-m minute glass is in the lead.
This glass is used almost exclusively
to measure time in boiling eggs and its
usefulness naturally places its sales a
little in advance of the more senti-
mental varieties. Next come the five,
ten and fifteen minute and full hour
glasses, which are bought chiefly by
musicians for piano practice and by
lodges and secret societies.
1.-The sand used in an hour glass is
the very finest that the world affords
The western coast of Italy furnishes
most of it. as it has done for ages past
The cost of hour glasses is regulated
by the ornamentation of the frames. A
glass set in a plain rosewood case can
be bought for 81, while mahogany
frame comes to $3.50 or 81. OF course.
the price can be brought up still high
er by fancy carving and decoration.
Swell lodges sometimes go this extra
expense, but most people are satisfied
with the cheaper grades.

to the ruby in value, the most highly
priced being those having a fine, dark,
velVety green color. At the present
time emeraids of truly fine color are a
great rarity. and when they are to be
had a stone of one karat brings as
much as G100.
Sapphires are distinctiVely day
stones, and, though it is not known to
many people, they are found in other
colors besides blue among them being
white, green and yellow, but of course,
the cornfiower blue is the accepted sap
phire color. The ruby and sapphire
are identical in all save color, and
show the same imperfections.
Turquoises have been for several
years, and are still, very fashionable,
and never look so well as when set
with diamonds. They are usually sold
at the buyers risk, as no one can guar
antee that their color will not change
to a greenish tone. Any one pricing
these dainty blue stones should avoid
wearing them when in delicate health
and when travelling on salt water.
The superstition concerning opals
seems to be dying a natural death. II
one may judge from the many that
are being worn. Hungarian opals are
deemed the finest, though immense
quantities of lesser value have of late
years been brought from Queensland.

spicuously useful. But for up-coun-
try work in Norway big luggage is i'm
possible. though several small pieces
can easily be carried in the queer lit
tie carts used by travellers. In con-
sequence of the fact that continental
travelling implies paying for luggage
by weight hand pieces are the best
possible choice for trips abroad, and
compressed cane is a good material for
the trunks to be made of, owing to its
Nghtness. From America hail many
of the most cunning pieces of luggage
on the market.
Tea and luncheon baskets are now
quite an institution. Smallness and
portability are the aims of the manu-
facturer of tea baskets now, and the
latest has a silver kettle. spirit lamp,
and tea pot all fitting into one an
other like Chinese puzzles.
For shooting parties on the moors
there is a luncheon basket devised
numbers of which have been sold to
people going North this year-contain-
ing a table of fifteen covers and as
many seats, the whole just about the
size of an ordinary trunk. The cover
of the basket adapts into a tray, and
is centered by an umbrella tent.

the demand exceeds the supply Seed
ling plants one year old sell for $40
per thousand. The amount of land
that ginseng farm requires is very
small, for 100000 plants can be set out

The plants are set out in beds SINH
lar to onions and require artificial
shade in summer and covering of
straw in winter.
Wild ginseng is found in the woods
of all the Eastern states from Maine to
Georgia. The roots that grow north
OF Mason and Dixons line are consid-
cred more valuable than the Southern
crop. There are ginseng farms in sue
cessful operation in Kentucky, Ten
nessee, West Virginia, PENNSYLVANIA,
Indiana, Ohio, Illinois. and New York.
In Tennessee and Ketucky the ging-
seng crop is relied upon by the noun
talneers TO tide them over the winter

always steady market for it at a

fine roots through thievery, which is
one of the detestable things that the

Interest in ginseng growing is steadily
increasing, and to-day no branch of
small farming offers better opportuni-
ties for money making. The gradual
extinction of the wild root, the slow
growth of the plant, and the steadily
widening market in China indicates
that the market. for cultivated Amer
lean ginseng will not be overstocked
in century at least. In addition the
cultivated root brings at least 81 a
pound more than the wild root.

THE NEW YELLOW FEVER BASIS.
Enlightened Attitude at Quarantine
Because Mosquitoes, Only, Need Be
Detained.
From the New York Post.

From the New York Post.
DR.. Walter Reed and DR.. James Car
roll, in the Medical Record, tell the
conclusions which have followed upon
their demonstrations of the part the
mosquito has in spreading yellow fever.
These sanitarians, who conducted the
well-known Havana experiments, pro-
coed on the theory that stegomyia fas-
ciata, a species of mosquito, is the
chief, if not the only, means by which
yellow fever is spread. They find that
stegomyia fasciata does not breed at
temperatures below 68 degrees Fahren-
heit, nor bite when the temperature IS
below 81 degrees Fahrenheit. This
seems to explain why the disease falls
to low ebb in certain parts of this
country as the winter approaches. The
writer's resolve the problem into one
of excluding mosquitoes from access to
sick individuals, and of destroying
those insects that have already become
infected They dismiss the theory that
infected mosquitoes can be imported in
baggage for the reason that mosqui-
toes, when deprived of water, die with
in a few days. Neither do they De-
lieve that any necessity exists for fun
igating cargoes or for burning the bed
clothes of yellow fever patients. The
writer's believe that no quarantine reg
ulations should be placed upon either
passengers or cargo from non-intect-
ed port and that no restrictions should
be imposed if a vessel from an infect
ed port has been more than twenty
DAYS on the water. The chief duty OF
quarantine officers hereafter, according
to Drs. Reed and Carroll, viii consist
in the detection of the very mild cases,
which for their very mildess are more
dangerous, in that they may break out
in most virulent form after the victim
has been passed.
DR.. A. H Doty writes in the same
magazine. looking at the same question
from the viewpoint of the health OIL
Ger of the port. He indorses the beler
that yellow fever is not disseminated
through personal contact or the me-
dunn of garments and bedclothes, ana
says:
I'm accordance with the above views,
the treatment of incoming vessels from
ports infected with yellow fever be-
comes very simple if they are five days
or more in transit, and all on board
are found to be we'll after careful In
spection, and the use of the clinical
thermometer, the vessel. its passen-
gers, and crew shall be released With

present satisfactory evidence of inn
munity should be removed, and held
for observation until the completion or
a period of five days from the time OF
departure from the infected port, and
then released only after careful IN

High speed ON American Railways.

From the Engineering Magazine.
The points of my argument as to the
further development of the American
locomotive as high-speed and high
power machine are these: That a rad
ically new locomotive is not available
for immediate service; that railway Of
ficials will give promising devices fair
trials; and, lastly. that the field for
radical improvement is exceedingly
limited. Step by step the present en-
gire has been raised from 500 horse
power to 1900 horse power and more
in some cases. but not by means of
startling novelties of any kind. The
chief improvement has been secured
through increasing the boiler power
from $50 pounds per square inch. which
was a maximum fifteen years ago, to
200 pounds as a rule and 225 pounds
per square inch in some engines; but
the steam distributing details remain
just where they were fifteen years ago
with some notifications in dimensions
none whatever In application. be-
lieve that the cylindrical, corrugated

Cornelius Vanderbilt has great posi-
biities in the direction OF still higher
pressures. and in that direction is an
advance; but higher pressures alone
