In reply to inquiries by New York

James W Ragsdale. of Tientsin. Under
date of June 20, 1902, wrote the State
Department:
There are four principal kinds Of
ginseng known to the trade-the native.
which comes from Kirin and its neigh
borhood; the Korean, the American. and
the japanese. Miraculous healing prop
critics are ascribed to the Kirin gin

only the wealthy. of course. can in
duIge in this costly drug. but such is the
giving virtues of the plant that even the
poorer classes make tremendous sacri-
fees to obtain it, in cases of emergency
Owing to the immense demand and the
limited supply in the wild state. the
farmers near Kirin are doing thriving
business in cultivating ginseng. al
though it commands only fraction Of
the price that is paid for it in wild
condition.
Ginseng From Korea
Korean ginseng is next in cost. the
prices ranging from $2.07 to s3l.12 per
catty II 1-3 pounds. according to size
and quality. The consumption OF Ko-
rean ginseng must be enormous, but no
statistics are available, as most of it is
smuggled over the border from Korea to
China.
American ginseng is becoming more
widely known and more popular every
year. especially in the southern prov
inces. In the last few years the prices
paid for it hAe more than doubled. In
the province of ChInkiang, American
ginseng is in special demand Almost
everybody takes il in the spring as a
tonic.
Cheapest From Japan.
The cheapest ginseng comes from
Japan il is used principally by those
who cannot afford the other kinds.
There can De no doubt that a profit
able business can be done in this ar
ticle, il the trade is properly pushed by
Chinese agents of good social standing.
Wild ginseng commands a much higher
price in China than the cultivated ar
ticle."

A WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

On Dec. 27. 1901. James Carlisle Zet-
rouer and wife celebrated their 41st
wedding anniversary at their home,
near Micanopy, Fla, where they have
lived for a number of years.
Mr.. Zetrouer's father. John Robert
Zetrouer. was born in Efingham coun-
ty, Ga, and was married to Miss Eliza
Remshart of Savannah, who had two
brothers. John and Daniel Remshart,
and two sisters, Margaret, who mar
ried j. Biddenback, and Jane, who
married John L. Thomas. His father
moved to Florida in 1888, and was liv-
ing between Newnansville and Hog
town Creek during the freeze of Feb
ruary, 1884, when the wild orange
groves were killed, and when the In
dian war of 1884 broke out he was liv-
ing near Middleburg on Black Creek.
Mr.. James Zetrouer was born in Sa-
vannah, in 1881, and married in 1860 to
Miss Mary Jane Bridges, a daughter
of Rev. j. NJ Bridges. one of the pio-
neer Methodist preachers of Florida.
Mrs. Zetrouers mother was a Miss
Stephens, dlstantly related to Alex
ander Stephens of Georgia.
This couple has lived an honorable
useful and Christian life, and have
been rewarded by seeing their six chill
dren grown and following in their foot
steps. They have four daughters, Mrs.
G. w. Bellah, Mrs. w. r. Dreher, Mrs.
Albert Britt, and Mrs. Fletcher Har
rod, all of whom We're present at the
celebration except Mrs. Harrod, who
was prevented from attending on ac-
count OF illness. The two sons, John
Robert and Daniel Remshart, with
their families We're present also a few
other guests. Thirteen children claim
this couple as grand parents and a
merry time the little folks had at
Grandpapas wedding. The day was
spent in jolly talk and laughter un
til / o'clock, when dinner was an
nounced. The long table was arranged
for all the company, except the daugh-
ters and daughters-inlaw, who pre-
sided over the feast as waiting maids.
The table and it's guests presented a
charming picture with its load of sub
stantials and dainties and its center
piece of fruits, nuts, and candies.
After dinner "We're Growing Old To-
gether" was sung and when the guests
departed all felt that the clouds of this
union were already passing for they
are growing old together after having
bravely fought life's hardest battles.
