realized. 1t is a hardy plant and is easy grown. a bulletin issued

native Ginseng root is grapidl diminishing, and price per pound

the drug in China stands as aguarantce OF q steady market Tor
Ginseng in the future. Consul General RubIee OF Hong Kong

in America is verylarge here and the demand SIS ogteat that nanch
more could be disposed Of adyantageouly. The root IS lndispcn-
sable TO the four-hundred million Chinese as is Their rice.
Ginseng is a staple on the market the same as corn, wheat ana
cotton. The present market price varies from 5000 to $500 per
pound, while the cost of producing is less than $3.50. 1T IS easy
to grow and requires very little ground. An acre OF matured GIN
seng is wortc $4,000. There is room in ones garden to grow
several hundred dollars worth 'each year. The plant thrYes

A Tree of Many Uses,

One of the most wonderful trees is
found in the Pacific islands. From it
the natives procure towels, glue, cloth,
finder and also bread.
The tree is about as tall as a three
story house, and the branches, which
come out straight from the trunk like
so many arms, are covered with leaves
and fruit not unlike apples in appear
ance.
This fruit is used as bread, and it is
in season during eight months of the
year, the natives finding a good living
in it.
As for glue, it oozes from the trunk
of the tree, and is found useful for
many purposes; the leaves make ex-
cellent towels, and from the inner bark
of the tree kind of course cloth can
be made.
Besides this, its dried blossoms are
used for finder in lighting fires, and
the wood is in great demand for build
ing purposes.-Montrea Herald.

A movement to erect a monument
to President Lincoln has recalled the
existence and mysterious passing of
the National Lincoln Monument asso-
citation, chartered by act of Congress,
March 80, 1867.
The plan was backed by the most
prominent men in the country at the
time, and 100000 was raised by popu-
lar subscription. The design for the
monument was executed by Clark
Mills, the sculptor, site in front of
the Capitol was selected, and cap
tured Confederate cannon were turned
over to the association by the war de-
partment from which to cast the
bronze figures surmounting the pedes-
tai.
But the association and its organic
ers seem to have vanished into thin
air, work on the monument was never
even begun, and so far as can be
learned the money was never re-
turned.
From 1867 to 1882 the record of the
association is clear, but there is alb
solutely nothing to show what became
of it after that date. The list of in
corporators submitted to Congress in
the former year with the application
for a charter included such prominent
men as James Harlan, Alexander
Ramsey, Schuyler Colfax, Frederick
Douglass, Godlove S. Orth, Shelby NJ

New Story of Lincoln.

Lincoln's birthday brings out the
usual complement of Lincoln stories
and most of them have been published
in one form or another, but ]. d. Vel
yer of New York tells one that he
says never appeared in print
In the thick of the civil war, when
Lincoln was troubled almost beyond
what he could bear, two men from a
western state applied to him for some
minor offices. The president was dis
gusted at their opportunities, but
finally told them a story.
.One time king went hunting. On
his way to the forest he met subject
riding a donkey. Hello, king said the
subject Hello subject said the king.
Where are you going, king?' I'm go
ing hunting, subject Better not, it's
going to rain No, it isn't, said the
king, my court astrologer said that it
would be fair weather. No, it's going
to rain,' persisted the subject, but the
king laughed at him and went hunting.
1t rained hard and the king returned
to his castle wet and bedraggled and
ordered that his astrologer's head be
cut off He sent for the subject who
had foretold rain and made him court
astrologer. But 1 am no good at fore
casting said the subject But you told
me it was going to rain, said the
king. I knew that because my jackass
hung his ears down. replied the sub.
ject Every time he does that it is
going to rain Then 1 will make your
jackass court astrologer,' said the king
and he did
Lincoln stopped there and his visit
ors laughed a little. but limited that
they did not see much point in the
story Then the president added:
Ever since that time every jackass In
the kingdom has wanted a job

Cullom, Samuel Shellenbarger and
Richard Yates. Senator Cullom of
Illinois, whose name appears as one
of the incorporators, said recently
that he didn't remember anything
about the association and couldn't say
why the project was not carried out
or what became of the 100000 col
lected in one-dollar subscriptions from
all over the country.
From the record it appears that on
June %, 1868, a little more than a
year after the association obtained its
charter, Congress passed a joint reso-
luton authorizing the Secretary of
War to place at the disposal of the
association damaged and captured
bronze and brass cannon and ordnance
out of which to cast the principal
figures surmounting the pedestal. The
act provided that no such allotment
of ordnance should be made, however,
until the voluntary subscriptions to
the monument fund should reach $780,
600.
While no record can be found to
show just how much money was col
lected, it is probable in view Of the
above law that the amount was in ex-
cess of 500, 900, as the records of the
War department show that under the
act twelve brass cannon were issued
to the association.
The last Congress record of the as
ISOLATION is an act passed in 1882, pro-
viding that five trustees should con-
stitute a legal quorum of the asso-
citation; and it is believed that this
provision was enacted owing to the
dyinS out of interest in the project
and the difficulty that had been ex-
perienced in securing attendance at
the necessary meetings.
Recently a number of the engraved
subscription receipts of the association
have been found. They were executed
at the bureau of engraving and bear
the signature of Gen. F. E. Spinner,
treasurer of the association and at
that time treasurer of the United
States as well. In view of this fact
it has been suggested that if the
books of the treasury department were
carefully examined the 100000 or
more subscribed by the people and
placed in Gen. Spinner's care would
be found on deposit
The following description of the
monument, as designed by Clark Mills
and accepted by the association, was
published at the time:
"The pedestal to be OF granite, and
figures bronze, the whole structure to
be 20 feet. surmounted by thirty five
colossal figures ITS construction tn

THE first presents the slave in his
most abject state, as when brought to

nude, deprived of all which tends to
elevate the heart with any spirit of

THE second represents a less abb

more enlightened, and hence, realizing
his bondage, startles with a love of
freedom.
The third is the ransomed slave,
redeemed from bondage by the blood
of Liberty, who, having struck off his
shackles, holds them triumphantly
aloft. The slave is pictured CRATE

Between these groups are three

Made Good After Many Years.

A gentleman occupying a prominent
position in one of the banks at Ma
van, Scotland, has been the recipient
of G100 in a romantic manner. About
twenty years ago, when cashier in a
bank in Loughrea, he missed G1OO,
which evidently had been given to
some person in error. He made good
the money and in course of time was
transferred to various branches in pro-
motion. A few mornings ago he re-
ceived letter, forwarded to him from
his old lodgings in Loughrea, contain
ing two s. so notes, with an anony-
nous communication stating that the
addressee had paid the money out in
error some twenty years ago, and ex-
pressing the hope that the restoration
of the money had not come too late

Discoveries in Murderer's Den.

A remarkable discovery has lately
been made at Logic House, a large
rambling building on the outskirts of
Dundee, Scotland. The house, which
had been unoccupied for fifteen years,
at one time belonged to the notorious
Laird of Logic, whose inhuman i'm
prisonment of the BLACK Lady Of
Logic his Indian bride, eventually
brought about the torturing to death
of the laird in India. From the discov-
cry made recently it is believed that
other crimes were committed at Logic
House. On lifting a large f1agstone a
secret furnace was discovered in
which was a mysterious looking pow
der, believed to be the remains of Gre
mated bodies.

he had it all. When the inspector fig
ured out the amount that should be
there he went to Lincoln and told him
how much cash there should be in the
postoffice.
Well, 1 guess 1 have it, said Lin
coin, as he drew forth a bundle of
money.
He counted it out and it tailed to
a cent to the amount the inspector had
found due the government. Lincoln
had kept the governments money sep
arate at all times Although he car
ried it around with him, as the best
method of caring for it, he had never
allowed it to become mixed up with
his own money. That incident was
characteristic of Lincoln. He was scru-
pulously honest. Star.
