Enjoyable Field Day.

The Town Improvement Society spent
delightful afternoon and evening at
Lakewood last thursday. On account
Of the threatening weather many of the
members did not venture out but a gOodly
number took special car at p. m. ar
irving at Lakewood at 230. The sky
soon cleared and after greeting among
the members, and social time generally,
the party were invited by Landlord King
to board the steamer margaret b. for
sail around the Lake. A few tired
ones, preferred to remain on land, only
to regret it. The water of the Lake is
very high and enables the lovely little
steamer to go quite close to the shores
so the ladies were able to get a good
view of the many cottages (there are
over sixty cottages on the shore of the
Lake. A landing was made at East
Madison and noon time spent there from
where, the steamer. went.to the head OF
the Lake, thus circling this lovely sheet
of water, and arriving again at Lake
wood, about five O'Clock, every one
voting that this was a lovely beginning
for Field Day.
1t is needless to say-the day was cool
day and good fires blazed on the hearths
of paffor and dining room at the Hotel.
A musical half hour was enjoyed in the
parlor, Mrs. Dunton, pianist, with Mrs.
Eldena Smith, soloist. The ladies now
sought refreshments some from baskets
at the Pavilion, while others had dinner
at the Hotel. Many attended the theater
in the evening. All pronouncing the Sec

wnAr the PANAMA ROUTE IS.
10 IL 1900 Miiss Long and Fellows
Chagres River nsOst OF Distance.

Chagres River nSost OF Distance.
The Panama route is but 49O9 miles
long from ocean to ocean which is but
little more than one-four OF the total
length of the Nicaragua cute. There
is, therefore. less room for variety of
features than Is found on the Nioara-
qua line. The city OF Colon. formerly
called Aspinwall, was chosen by the
old Panama company as the Atlantic
terminus. The route then follows
along the marshes in a southwesterly
direction to a little place called Gatun.
on the Chagres river. From that point
it follows the line OF that river in a
general way to Obispo. thirty miles
from Colon.
At Obispo the route leaves the Cha
gres and enters the Emperador cut.
which merges into the great Culebra
cut, where the line crosses the conti-
mental divide. From the latter point
its general course lies along a small
stream called the Rio Grande until II
reaches the waters of Panama bay.
This route has attained great promi-
nence within the latst twenty years in
consequence of the work done on IL by
the old Panama Canal Company. a
French corporation Of which Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps was the head. 1t was
not until 1888 that work upon large
scale was begun. The plan adopted
was that OF a sea-level canal and in
cluded bottom width Of seventy-two
feet and a navigable depth Of 29.5 feet.
The entire cost of the work was esti-
mated by De Lesseps in 1880 at about
$l2S. 900. and eight years for the
time required.
Work under this sea-level plan was
prosecuted actively until the near end
OF 1887 says a writer in Scribner's,
when 1t became evident that the canal
on a sea-level plan could not be con-
structed for the amount money and
time then available to tn company.

RARE VIRTUES OF GINSENG.
How the Plaas was Regarded - Old
Time virginia.

How the Plaat was Regarded - Old
Time virginia.
Colonel William Byrd OF Westover.
famous Virginia planter and gentle
man, tells in his diary of the "vertues
of ginseng" which he tested on a sur
veying journey. Though Practice
will soon make a man of tolerable
Vigor an able Footman," he says. yet,
as a Help to bear Fatigue | used to
chew Root OF Ginseng as | Walk'd
along. This kept up my spirits. and
made me trip 'away.as nimbly in my
half Jack-Boots as younger men cou'd
in their Shoes. This Pls1t Is in high
Esteem in China. where it sells for its
Weight in Silver. Its YER
tues are that 1t gives an uncommon
Warmth and Vigor TO the Blood. and
frisks the Spirits beyond any other
Cordial. 1t chears the Heart even OF
a man that has a bad Wife. and makes
him look down with great Composure
on the Crosses OF the World. In one
Word 1t will make Man live a great
while. and very well while he does
live. And what Is more, IL will even
make Old Age amiable by rendering II
cheerful. lively and good-humored."
II half what Colonel Byrd says is
true, ginseng ought to be a root more
popular than even "Sassafras, o Sas-
safiass," that the warriors from Catta-
raugus will be bringing in to us pres
eatly.

which resulted in serious wound.
This wound refused to heal, and all
the various treatments applied to 1t
failed to effect the desired end. The
man was attacked from time to time
by violent paroxysms, and death ap-
peared certain. At length the surgeon
enlisted the services of a good violin
player and treated the sufferer to q
musical remedy. The patients par
oxySms ceased and from that time the
wound began to heal. The violin play.
ing was continued at intervals till re-
covery was assured.
In another case the wound continued
to suppurate despite all that could be
done; the patient was calm and re-
signed. but nothing could be done for
the wound. The violin was called into
requisition in this instance also, and
the instrument was played close to the
injured part, which was barred for the
purpose. The surgeon soon observed
q change; the wound assumed o
healthier appearance. and the process
of healing began and progressed rapid.
