Prof. Maxwell Sommerville, who
held the chair of Glyptology in the
University Of Pennsylvania, and
who died Suddenly last week in
Paris, was we'll known by many
here. Probably thirty five years
ago he began spending his summers
in town, stopping at the Sawkill
House, which was then the favorite
resort for many celebrated Phila-
delphians.
Professor Sommerville was a
genial and interesting companion.
Having travelled in nearly every
country and cline in pursuit of the
rare gems which enriched his collec-
ton, he was familiar with the
manners aud customs of many peo-
pies His knowledge gained by close
observation and careful study was
extensive and varied, almost en-
bracing the thought of mankind in
the realms of art, philosophy and
history, His mind was most versa
tile and trained to note details
which faculties gave him remark
able success in the direction in
which he so greatly delighted to
exercise his genius that of collecting
rare and precious gems. AS a
writer he was entertaining and in
structive. His descriptions were
easy aud natural and conveyed one
in fancy to the very spot and scene
he depicted. The large and valu-
able collection which he donated tn
the University and his work in
arranging it will constitute for him
monument more enduring than
lasting brass or marble.

Keep the nalance up

It has been trutbfully said that
any disturbances of the even balance
of health causes serious trouble
Noboday can be too careful to keep
this balance up. When people begin
to lose appetite, or to get tired easily,
the least imprudence brings on sick
ness, weakness, or debility. The
system needs tonic, Graves it, and
should not be denied it; and the best
tonic of which we have any knowl-
edge is Hoods SarsapariIla. What
this medicine has done in keeping
healthy people healthy, in keeping
mp the even balance of health, gives
it the same distinction as a preven-
tive that 10 enjoys as a cure. It's
early use has illustrated the wisdom
of the old saying that a stitch IN

The people who live down among
the Ozarks. in Missouri have taken
greatly to the cultivation of ginseng
the root SO highly esteemed in the
orient The profits may be estimated
that a farmer in Homer, Mich, last
year realized $4,000 from a crop
grown on a half acre Of land. The
Ozerks are said to be particularly
well fitted for the growth Of this root.
Last week a shipment of 10O0 pounds
was made from Joplin. The output Of
the root has decreased greatly in tho
last fifty years, and the price has gone
up correspondingly In 1852 the pro-
duct amounted to 366,055 pounds,
which brought S1o3,796 or 8 cents a
pound Last year the output was
1854, ,063 pounds, which brought SS56,-

large display of ripe apples, which
have beer IN cold storage since last
