THERE is MONEY IN
GROWING GINSENG

Prof Howard Of the Missouri State Agricultural College says: a advise Amer
lean farmers to cultivate Ginseng. Big profits are realized. 1t is a hardy plant
Md is easily grown" A bulletin issued by the Pennsylvania State College DIN part
says: The supply of native Ginseng rootis rapidly diminishing, and the price
per pound is correspondingy increasing, while the constant demand for the drug
IN China stands a a guarantee of a steady market for Ginseng in the future
Consul General Rublee of Hong Kong says in the US Consular reports: "The sale
ot Ginseng root grown in America is very large here and the demand is % great
hat much more could be disposed of adyantageously. The root it's as indispensa
bic to the Decentralization Chinese as is their rice"
Ginseng is a staple o the market the same a corn, wheat and cotton. The
present market price varies from $500 to $3.50 per pound, while the cost Of pro-
ducing is less than $3.50. ltis easy to grow and requires very little ground. An
acre of maured Ginseng is worth $40 900. There is room in ones garden to grow
several hundred dollars worth each year. The plant thrives throughout the
United States and Canada in any soil or climate that will grow garden vegeta-
.bles. We sell roots and seeds for planting purposes and AN show you how to
make money growing Ginseng. There arc two planting seasons, spring and fall.
With each order we give full instructions how to plant and care for the garden.
You can get a good start tin this business for a small outlay and soon have a nice
income. Send two cent stamp today for literature telling all about this wonder

Artificial Cotton From Wood.

Good results have been attained in
the production of artificial cotton ex-
tracted from fir and freed from bark
and knots. The dbers are broken up
by a special machine and then subject
ed to steam in a copper, lead lined
cylinder for several hours. After be-
ing boiled for a day and a half in a
solution of soda lye the material is
washed, crushed more thoroughly,
bleached, and dried by means of roll
lers. The cellulose thus obtained is
heated and further manipulated to re-
duce the fiber, and then passed
through a weak solution of carbonate
of soda and between drying rollers.
Finally, to give the necessary firmness
to the thread, it is put into a bath of
diluted ammonia, and then washed
with cold water. Compared with the
natural product it is difficult to dis
.tinguish the artificial, and it is said

Boston Business Man Was Not

Herald of that city.
1t was Mr.. Paige's habit to wear a

very broad and expansive white shirt
front.
One morning after a holiday Mr.
Paige was near the cashiers place and
had a paper brought to him to sign
He naturally turned to the public
desk to do so, and there, as it hap
pened, the enemy was waiting. Dur.

his pen into the mouth of the valve

Machine for Washinq Dishes.

Several dishwashing machines have
been patented within the last few
years, but most of. them have been
too complicated in construction. Only
the proprietors of hotels, restaurants,
cafes, etc., know what problem it is
to wash so many dishes as they use
in the course of a day, and a simple
device of this kind saves them time
and labor This machine, the inven-
tion of two Ohio men, seems exceed
inly practical of operation, no more
than ordinary care being required to
prevent breakage. The usual table is
provided, underneath which are placed
the tanks for the water. Rising
above the tanks is mast, upon which
is bracket, the receptacle for holding
the dishes being made of a wire
mesh large enough to allow the ac-
cumulations from the dishes to pass
through, and is suspended upon this
bracket.

ings of the palace consist almost en-
tirely of columns covered with i'm
mense roofs, and with great ornamen.
tations in gold and silver.
AT the gates We were received by
the prince commandant of the native
army. In the inner court we were
welcomed by a chorus of girls chant
Ing, and a band playing on the pecu-
liar Javanese instruments, which
sound like rubbing the finger on
glasses. On the floor sat 1000 royal
attaches and servants. Mrs. Glidden
and the wife Of the commandant were
put on the right of the Sultan's chair:
| and the Dutch Assistant Resident on
the left. His Majesty entered with a
slow and stately step, followed by
ministers and servants, crouching
down on their heels, and waddling
along in that comical attitude as if
all were doing cobbler's dance.
His Majesty shook hands cordially,
and asked many questions through
the Assistant Resident. Then he had
the car brought into his presence, and
examined it, He asked the price, and
on learning it, sent at once for his
treasurer, who came in crouching on
his heels. In the royal presence only
whites are allowed to stand upright.
The Sultan told his treasurer the cost
of the car, and asked if there was
enough money in the treasury at the
moment to provide that sum. Without
looking up, the treasurer made a cal
culation, and replied that the unhappy
treasury of his most pious Majesty,
might his fathers be ever blest. did
not at the moment contain so large
sum.
"The Sultan was very sad. But he
is always sad. He has twenty one
wives and twenty-eight children. But
his Queen, the No. wife, is childless.
I took some of the sons for short
rides, and then nine of the princesses,
all of whom were about eighteen years
of age, entertained us by dancing the

which they kept up continuously for
an hour and half. Later, Mrs. Glid-

Smoke-Prevention Device.

A new smoke-prevention device for
boiler furnaces has been invented by
a Glasgow engineer. The system con-
sist OF discharging a combination Of
steam, air and producer gas into the
furnace. The three elements are COM
bined and discharged onto the fuel
in the front of the furnace. The re.
sulting chemical action releases the
hydrogen in the steam and combines
the oxygen with the carbon in the
fuel. The decomposition Of the sup
piled gases is thus completed and
creates great heating power, emitting
heavy smoke. The latter, however, de.
creases in volume toward the tubes
in which there are only flames, and
is completely consumed before it
reaches the chimney.
