The culture of ginseng has been
greatly advocated in some quarters
in America during the past few years,
and owing to the large prices said to
have been paid for the roots and the
enormous profits which it is claimed
can be made by growing ginseng.
quite number of persons are trying
to grow It. Ginseng is not, however,
an easy crop to grow and requires
great deal of care. 1t also takes five
years before the roots are large
enough to sell Some persons are
growing II successfully, and hope to
make money out Of the sale of the
roots. 1t is thought by many disin-
terested persons that more money is
being made out of the sale of the
seeds and young plants to prospective
growers than will ever be made by
the growers themselves, as the mar
ket will probably become oyerstocked
with ginseng and the prices reduced.
The market for ginseng is China, as
the roots are used by the Chinese as
a drug. There are many surer in
vestments for capital than the cul-
ture of ginseng.

The secret service officials believe that the sale of lottery tickets in this country has been effectually broken up by a number of arrests and con- fscation of tickets at different points. The headquarters of the lottery con- bine was in San Francisco, but they had travelling men on the road estab- fishing agencies. Nearly all the men prominently identified with the con- cern have been arrested, and arrests have been made in half dozen diff ferent cities of the country of people who received shipments of tickets. Se- cret service agents have done most of the work, but where there were no agents the arrests have been made by United States marshals. The prosecu- ton of the lottery people was started by the district attorney of San Fran cisco, and he has been helped by the department of justice, Assistant At torney General Purdy being in charge. There is little doubt, says the Wash ington Star, that the business will be broken up. The law prevents the ship ment of lottery tickets by any form of conveyance in this country, and the person who receives such ticket is as liable as the person who shipped 1t.

According to the cabled announce ments, the programme for the trans fer of the body of John Paul Jones to an American warship will consist of the formal delivery of the coffin by Senior Special Ambassador Horace Porter. in whose possession it now is, to Junior Special Commissioner Fran cis B. Loomis, who will immediately shift the possession of this precious property to Rear Admiral Sfgsbee. John Paul would. have been delighted, no doubt, could he have known when living that the occasion of the removal of his body from the shores of France to America would have been utilized for the qualification of a smirched American official. Fortunately the na- val officers who will take charge of the body of the revolutionary hero are men of distinction, and do not need win dication. The ceremonies which wll- take place when the fleet arrives al Annapolis will doubtless be unmarred by anything like the Loomis Incident. Hartford Times.

the effort that is made would be amply justified. To the children of the crowded district, shut in by the mar row boundaries of streets and alleys, day on the water or in the woods is one of joyous expansion-mentally, morally and physically. And to over worked mothers such a day brings not simply rest, but refreshment and restoration. There is no tonic like hap piness, and the bracing effect of hap py day, away from the routine cares, with wide vista of blue sky above and of blue waters of green grass be- low, is more potent by far than any mixture that comes from the apothe- cary. It is not alone the clean air, though day of breathing unpolluted ozone is of tremendous vitalizing value For the older people, the let-up in the nervous strain, the sense of freedom even for little while, brings recupera tive aid to the vital energies, and to the younger ones gladness alone is life giving.
