THE FEELING OF THE WEST.
The New Years Opening, as Seen in
Interior Circles of Trade.

Chicago, Ill.-No year has aver been
opened with as good prospects for bust
ness as has 1906. Jobbers and manu-
f%acturers have more orders on their
books for goods. to be delivered in the
next three months, than has ever been
known. This is especially the case
with dry goods, clothing and shoes. 1t
is estimated that orders now in hand
exceed those of a year ago by ten per
cent; some place the figures higher.
Shipments of these goods have already
commenced to distant points, where the
spring trade opens early. and the dis
position is to have goods in hand one to
three weeks earlier than in recent
years. There is more coarse grain in
the interior to be moved than in pre-
vious years, and the slowness with
which it is being marketed is striking.
This shows how easy farmers are fixed
for money.

Our Ginsing in China.

Chinese merchants when questioned
as to the real difference between the
wild root from Kirin and the cult
waited variety from the United States,
admit that the difference is mostly i'm
aginary, but that since the Manchu-
rian ginseng from the Emperor's
mother country and from the same
soil out of which he, the Son of
Heaven, sprang, the Chinese regard it
as infinitely more ~efficacious as a
"nourishing" medicine and as a "life-
giving remedy" than ginseng from any
other part of the world could possibly
be.
Foreign ginseng (American) is

transparent, and so shaped as to re-
semble the Chinese character for man,
the root being forked.
The strange form of the root, so
like the human body, renders it more
valuable in the eyes of the Chinese.
This superstition is largely responsible
for the absurdly high price of Man.

Back TO Nature.

The French peasant who, since the
days of the Revolution, has turned all
France into a kind of walled garden, is
still closely in touch with nature, and
in spite of agitatars and politicians,
his presence in the suffrage, to which
he brings the sense and cunning of the
fields, makes for rational health. In
proof of this is a little scene repro
duced by one of the authors of
Sketches on the Old Road Through
France to FlorenIe."

writer fell to conversing with a peas
ant who, with immense patience, vas
engaged in stirring the earth with
vigor into harvests. He also professed

BURTON DRAWS MILEAGE.
Remarkable Procedure by Which He
Was "Seen in the Chamber"

Washington. D. Cone of the most
remarkable procedures in the history
of the Senate occurred in order to avoid
a te%chnicality which prevented Senator
Burton, of Kansas, from drawing his
mileage for the present session. In or
der to have his requisition honored it is
necessary for some official of the Sea-
ate to take oath that he has seen thy
Senator in the chamber, but since thu
indictment and conviction of the Kane
sas Senator he has not appeared there.
There is no disposition on the part OF
any one to withhold the mileage, and
the Senator, therefore, was asked Is
step from the cloakroom into the cham.
Der for a moment in order that he
might be seen by some official. He de.
clined, but an employe engaged him in
conversation in the cloakroom. near
the entrance to the chamber. The en-
ploye suddenly turned the Senator so
that he faced the chamber, and the at
tention of officials previously having
been directed toward this door he was
seen from the chamber. 1t was then
certified that Senator Burton was in
attendance and his mileage was paid
to him.
