CultiyatinE Ginger.

Ginger is made a matter Of scientific
culture in Jamaica. Itis propagated by
cutting up small pieces Of the root, and
if possible, rich, cool soil from recent
ly cleared woods is selected for it. It
is a great impoverisher Of the soil and
grows SO luxuriantly that in a short
time little piece Of root will spread so
as to produce nearly pound Of new
roots. The sets are planted in March
or April and get to their full growth
about September.
The roots are dug usually in Jamaica
in January or February. They are
washed, exposed to the sun until thor
oughly dried and packed in parcels OF
about hundred pounds each. In order
to dry them more rapidly they are first
scalded in little copper pot in order
to destroy life, Of which the roots are
very tenacious. White ginger and
black ginger are from the same roots,
the difference arising from methods Of
curing. Roots for sugar preserving are
dug while quite young, before the
stems are more than five or six inches
high.

PERSIAN RUGS.
A Safe RuIe by which to Distinguish
the Genuine Ones.

A Safe RuIe by which to Distinguish
the Genuine Ones.
A great many persons fatter them
selves that they are able to tell a gen.
uine Persian rug from a spurious ma
chine made, one by touch. but in this
they deceive themselves. The best and
surest way to tell genuine from an
imitation Persian rug is the following:
If one will look closely, one will OBJ
serve that in the genuine Persian rug
the intricate and implicated pattern
or design is not altogether symmetric-
al, the corresponding flowers, vines or
geometrical figures Of one side being
a little out Of line, larger or smaller
or not meeting and pointing with fig
ures on the corresponding detail on the
opposite side Of the rug. This is owing
to the fact that in hand weaving it is
impossible to obtain perfect symmetry
of patterns, especially when the de-
signs are as complicated as they are
on Persian rugs. On the other hand,
let one examine closely the machine
made rug, and one will find the most
perfect symmetry Of pattern, so much
so in fact that the design looks posi-
lively rigid and harsh. This a pretty
safe guide, and if observed one viii
seldom mistake an imitation for gen.
uine Persian rug.

1Ierican Child Life.

Mexican children high and low are
exceedingly fortunate in being treated
almost uniformly with the greatest
kindness and affection by their par
ents. From babyhood they have an e1-
cellent understanding with their eld-
ers, respect and affection on one side,
affection and tenderness on the other.
No Indian IS too ragged or dirty to
kiss the hand Of his tattered old moth
er with the grace Of lord. This hab-
it, with the real reverence Of which it
is the outward and visible symbol, IS
commenced early in childhood. An In
dian, even drunk, does not abuse his
family. Assisted home by a friend on
either side, whose condition is only q
few degrees better than his own, he
sits on his doorstep, the one entrance
TO the single unlighted room constt-
tuting his dwelling, and contemplates
life with mauGlin. good nature While
the children and dogs play around him
and over him until he falls into drunk

SYRIAN Asphalt.

. Asphalt is found in the provinces Of
SYRIA on the banks Of the Dead sea
floating on the surface of its waters.
Through the action of earthquakes the
asphalt has been torn from the bottom
Of the sea and driven toward the shores,
especially to the east. The narratives
Of the Greek and Roman historians to
the effect that asphalt as small islands
was upheld by tie salt water and driV-
en- over the surface Of the sea are with
out doubt true. This asphalt and gen
orally the oriental or Egyptian is pure
and expensive and used principally in
the manufacture Of certain kind Of
varnish, but for general purposes, oW-
ing to it's brittleness as well, is useless
in the asphalt industry. - American

that have occurred in the negotiations were

Element.
Secretary Hay. while presenting the sub

to report that any progress had been made
during the past week. In fact. it appears
that the negotiations have come to a dead
stop. and. while no such thing as an ulti-

may be described in the statement that the
Colombian Minister here, Concha has dis
tinctly informed the State Department that
he cannot in behalf of his Government ac-

States as a basis OF a canal treaty.
The State Department has already let it
be known that 1t has come to the end Of its
concessions, 50 that a chance Of the re-
newal in the nearufuture is not very bright.
