PUT GREAT FAITH IN GINSENG.
Chinese Willing4 to Pay Fabulous
Prices for Roots.

Frederick d. Cloud, student inter-
prefer at the Shanghai consulate gen.
eral says: Many OF the Chinese be-
leve that when all other remedies fail
and death is at hand, ginseng has the
power to bring back health and lon
gevity; hence. when they feel the
need OF 1t they will pay fabulous
prices for certain kinds OF roots A

"Of course the larger the root the
better and as II is sold by weight II
Is not very uncommon for a good
specimen to bring as much as SlOc
an ounce. The value for such root
Is In Its shape, its texture, the manner
in which II has been cured and the
region whence 1t came.
But 1t must be borne in mind that
out Of great quantity OF roots, only
a very few of the kind described car

The Hyde Park Savings Bank
From the Swanton Courier.

In the larger centers of trade the
value Of advertising Is recognized 10 a
much greater extent than in the rural
districts and still advertising rightly
done pays as well in one as the other.
This is pretty conclusively proven by
the experience of the Hyde Park Saw.
ings Bank which has been conducting
vigorous advertising campaign all
through the state for the past six
months with the result that its depos-
its have increased since July by near
ly a quarter of a million dollars.
The advertising methods OF the Hyde
Park Bank have been the subject oi
some criticism In the state banking
circles, but Mr.. Page was evidently af-
ter business and went after it in the
same way he has built up the largest
hide business in the world In little ont
of the way Hyde Park. by the liberal
and judicious use of printers ink.
OF course advertising has not done il
all, for the people generally through
out the state have confidence in Mr.
Pages conservatism and business
ability and are pleased with the banks
policy of keeping its loans all in Yer
mont to foster Vermont enterprises
and business.
The record of the bank in not having
lost a dollar by poor note in its nine
teen years of existence has undoubted
ly been another factor in securing this
remarkable gain in business.
All of these things have doubtless
had weight. but to get back to the
value of advertising, how would the
people all over the state have beer
made acquainted with them except
| through advertising?

A Cane In Defense.

III you want to keep on hOld.up
men," said an old detective to the OBJ
server, carry a cane. A hold-up man
is more afraid of cane than he is OF
a revolver. He's deathly afraid that
the man carrying 1t will iab It in his
face or eyes or get the end of 1t in
his mouth. On this account they're
Just as much afraid of small, light
stick as they are Of heavy one.
There are so many different ways
OF using cane that man doesn't
know just which way to guard against
It. And any man can use 1t. Nine
men out of ten who carry revolvers
couldn't hit the side OF a barn with
them, and the 'hold-ups' know 1t, but
It doesn't take any skill or practice to
learn to slambang away with walk
ing stick"

A.tIom,,ism from Reading In Bed.

Asuymatism, which 10 a condition
where the retroactive powers differ In
the different meridians Of the eye, is
In most cases hereditary. but 1t is
often acquired, says a writer In
Health. The error Of acquired astigma-
tism often takes place during and
after a severe Illness. and can be
avoided by proper precautions. The
whole system Is In weakened condi-
ton, and the person so afflicted, being
confined to the house, will resort to
reading to pass away the time, and
this is often practiced while In re
clining position. There can be moth
ing more injurious than this practice.
Reading under these conditions
overburdens the muscles, and the
action Of these muscles upon the form
Of the eye causes an irregularity In
the curvature of the cornea which is
known as astigmatism. This is detri-
mental to distant vision and makes
reading and near work difiicult.

Women and Diplomacy,

Almost all the celebrated women
have gained their fame by diplomatic
means. The famous women of Jewish
history were all subtle In their meth
ods-Rebecca, Jael and Herodias, to
name but few Of them. What born
diplomatists, too. were Catherine OF
Siena, the great saint, and Catherine
de Medici the great sinner. The list
Of them down the ages Is amending.
