out and the two men dismissed the subject from their minds until they reached the coffee and cigars.

 there been but one To smile and bid me try. But they kept their words-they were
 busy, all, With their own affairs-until My blood seemed touched with d tint

 And my heart with an icy chill. I died one night and they came, next

 The ones who had seemed so cold, And wept as they wreathed my life

 bier,

~eINesENe", AN EQUAL OF GOLD.

It has often been asserted that next to tea ginseng is the most celebrated plant in all the orient It may well be termed the cu-e-aU. as the Chinese have a wonderful faith in it's curative and strengthening properties, for which reason it has been styled the "cinchona of China It is considered to be a cure for levers and weaknesses of all sorts, the chief and most costly medi- cine.
 The plant is found wild in the noun tain forests of eastern Asia. from Nepal to Manchuria. It formerly grew in Fukien. Kiangnan and ShaBsi. but was supplanted by the Manchuriau wild root. The root is carefully hunt ed by the ManchUs. who boast that the weeds of their country are the choice drugs of the Chinese
 It would be impossible accurately to pIice ginseng. Some wild roots have been known to realize their weight in gold, while the cultivated variety costs from 50 cents a pound up. Generally speaking, the average prices are. for the best $12 per pound; fair. $6.50 and ordinary 50 cents to $l per pound -Harper's Weekly.

CHARACTER IN CATS.

'Cats are like children" says writ CT. Educate them properly and you can do with them and their characters even as you will One of the first things that impressed itself on my mind on going round to cat shows as judge, spectator or artist was the ex- traOrdinary difference that exists in the characters of cats coming from different parts of the country. Indeed the effect that a crowded exhibition and it's surroundings have upon diff ferent cats is really very strange. Most of those cats which at home are rarely drawn out of themselves. and which you can see, in an ordinary way. under one or two conditions of expression, immediately develop a new express. on. and this typifes the effect home life has upon them. For instance a cat that has been treated by it's master or mistress very lovingly and has in nor mali circumstances seen a number of people who have praised it and petted 1t and stroked it a great deal will ex- hiblt an entirely new, snug cOutented and happy expression when it comes before the public. On the other hand the animal that has lived a life of ease. seeing nobody and nothing beyond its mistress. will exhibit the most strik- ing characteristics of it's mistress. Thus, if the character of the woman be, in the main, sulky or a snappy one. the effect of the sudden change upon the cats life will be to bring out in the cat a suIky or a snappy disposi- tion also"

A VETERAN HUNTER ON THE
 LYNX AND LION.

w. N. Wright, a veteran hunter, writes on "The Lynx and Lion" in The American Magazine for September. Here is one of his stories:
 An old trapper started out to peg his traps and cut away the ice He took nothing but an axe. as he did not expect to have any use for the gun In one of the traps, some twelve miles from camp he found a large cougar that had dragged the trap and clog for a few feet only and was sitting in a patch of brush behind a large log. The old man did not want to go to camp and get his gun. so he decided to cut a heavy pole and beat out the brains of the brute with that. He cut the pole and proceeded to administer the skull breaking blows but the brush was so thick that the blows were in efectuaL For a while the animal took the pounding and simply snarled. but by the time he had received ten or a dozen blows over the head and the blood began to run freely from his nose and mouth he made move that the old man had not figured on Crouching low on the ground the an imal made a spring for the old fellow and although handicapped with a twenty-pOund trap and an eighty pound clog he cleared brushed. log. and all and landed at the cd mans feet. The latter made a backward spring just in time to escape. The lion then clawed the axe and pole together and sat on them, and the t.apper at last had to go to camp and get his gun and shoot the brute"

JOKE ON A CARDINAL.

James Cardinal Gibbons of BaIti- more, the highest Catholic pre- ate in America. has a keen sense of humor. Recently he was the guest of a lay man friend, Frank Murphy, in Roland Park, Baltimore's most beautiful resi- dence suburb. In the Murphy home is a butler of Mrs. Partingtonian proclivi- ties, and on the church dignitarys for mer informal visits to the Murphy home its mistress had been under the necessity of reminding the obtuse ser want that the distinguished guest was to be addressed always as your eni- nence.' On the present occasion when the cardinal rang the bell the man of impressive cOunteuance answered, re- ceived the card. and, turning. an- nounced to Mrs. Murphy: Please. mum, your remnants has came" No ohe enjoyed the joke more thorough y or laughed more heartily at it than did the genial cardinal himself.

BIRTH RATE OF MEN OF TALENT.

Michand finds a stczd- fall in the birth rate of men of talent from Ne-v England westward. according to an article in the Medical Brief In Ne. England out of every 100000 births -I are those of men of talent; in New York the number falls to 54. iu Ohio to 19 in Indiana to II. in Illinois to 10. in Missouri to 6. in Kansas to 2. in Colo rado to l. This was learned by com pairing by states the number of persons whose names appear in a directory of those prominent in public life the arts and sciences and literary pursuits with the total number of persons born The objection. of. course. to these statistics is that a great many of these men. as. for instance. in New York city. are not natives, and after they have become famous and prosperous have broadened their field of work bv moving to a larger center of activity, where oppor- tunities are greater.
