FIRST MOh0LITH IN PLACE
BIG STONE LIFTED TO POSITION
AT TREASURY.
Crowd Looks on While Giant Der
rick Trif1es With Immense
Weight.

The first great granite monolith for the
east front of the Treasury was hosted
into place this afternoon, In the presence
of throng gathered at 10Th and f
streets.
The monolth reached the Treasury this
morning after several mishaps On Penn
sylvania avenue the wagon hauling it
stalled. Hours were required In getting
1t started again
1t was taken off the wagon by the same
derrick that was lifting it into place this
afternoon. This giant derrick is capable
Of handling eighty tons. while the mono
liths, without their base and caps, weigh
over thirty tons.
The slender thread-like cables holding
the tremendous weight performed their
duty with apparent ease.
There will be thirty-odd of these mono
liths TO put in place. They will be hoisted
and set AS fast possible.
The huge pillar was loaded yesterday
afternoon on a wagon. drawn by a span
of twenty-five large draft horses, for re-
moval from the freight yards at 18th
street and Maryland avenue southwest
wagon reached point near the District
building on 14th street the wheels broke
through the asphalt street and the horses
were unable to proceed further with
their load.
The large stone pillar was left on the
truck all night. The big wagon with the
large stone weighs about forty tons.
The driver of the team with several at
tendants left the freight yards at 5
O'Clock and proceeded slowly up 14th
street The first ten horses were two
abreast. then came five horses abreast,
followed by two teams of four horses
abreast and then the two wheel horses
Everything went along smoothly until
they had passed the District building,
when the asphalt gave way. Big jacks
were brought to aid the horses to get the
wheels out of the ruts, but to no avail.
When twenty-five horses were attached
to the wagon this morning, after the
pavement had hardened up during the
night. the wagon with its heavy load was
moved easily. Then the menolth was
hoisted from the wagon over a pile of
stone to place on the sidewalk alongside
the wall upon which 1t is to be placed.
Foreman Ryan who has charge of the
moving Of the pillars said this morning
that his fears that the soft pavement
would be cut up by the immense load
caused him to postpone operations last
night without attempting to add more
horses to the line that was attached to
the wagon. With four more horses to-
day, however. and with the pavement
hard, the load was moved easily.

Chinese Faith in Ginseng

Ginseng, whose native home is in West
ern North Carolina, and which is cult
waited here to some ok tent, notably by
Capt. Toms, is supposed to have remark
able scurati We powers by the Chinese.
The following, from the indianapolis
News, is of interest:
'tMany of the Chin csc believe thai
when all other remedies fail. and death
is at hand, ginseng has the power to
bring back health and longevity; hence
when they feel the need of it they will
pay fabulous prices for certain kinds of
roots. A root to be really valuable asa
commodity must come from the noun
tains of Kirin, or be reputed to have
come from there. 1t must lie bifurcated,
so az TO resemble as much as possible
the human form, and be semi-transpar-
emit, dry and iinty. Of course, the larg-
er the better, and as it sold by weight it
is not uncommon for a good specimen
to bring as much as 300 an ounce.
The value of such a root is in its shape,
it's texture, the manner in which is has
been cured and the region whence it
came"

BUGS AND HUMBUGs.
A Kentucky Hunger" At Ashe-
vile Takes a Fall out Of
Some Microbe Fads.

Ten little lungers feeling pretty fine
Till one took serum and then there
were nine.
Serum is made from the veins of 6
horse, because it is said to be good fol
h-oarseness, and when the doctor pre-
sents his bill it is horse on your ad-
ministrator.
Nine little lungers barking soon and
late,
One tried tuberculin and then there
were eight.
Tuberculine is the concentrated es-
sense of bugs. 1t is administered on
the following principle; if a man is
suffering from stomach-ache caused
by too much cucumber, give him more
cucumber to cure it. If he il dying
from bugs, pump in more bugs. Like
cures like.
Eight little lungers praying prayers
to heaven,
One took the rest cure and then there
were seven.
The idea of the rest cure Is to lie
around and get used to q coffin gradually
No man who ever died in this manner
has afterward been known 10 kick.
Seven little lungers in a shaky fix,
One tackled creosote and then there
were six
The use of this drug was suggested
by the experiment of q Colorado Chi
naman, who, having swallowed q pota-
to bug, took a spoonful of Paris Green
to kill it. And the Paris Green did kill
it-and the Chinaman. Creosote kills
tuberculosis germs in the same way.
Six little lungers still are left alive,
One got patent dope and then there
were five.
Patent medicine is not supposed to
cure consumption; but it enables the
wife of the manufacturer to ride In her
own automobile, and that helps some.
Five little lungers feeling mighty
sore,
One tried the booze cure and then
there were four.
Whiskey is given because all author
tiles agree that it is better to liVeadrunk
than to die sober. Besides. when q
man 10 snake he does not worry much
oyer bugs.
Four little lungers sad as sad can be,
One took lymph cure and then there
were three.
p Billy goat lymph is given because it
prevents the bugs from buttlng In when
they are n wanted. This was the
origin of the old saying He hasn't got
courage enough to say bah to a bug"
Three little lungers looking beastly
blue,
One busted sucking eggs and then there
were two.
Yon swallow raw egg till you learn
how to cackle, and that makes you for
get your troubles.
Two little lungers sitting in the sun.
One got too much open air and then
there was one.
Fresh air is recommended, especially
in the winter time, because it is a no
torious fact that if you freeze q man
stiff you kill every bug in him, And to
kill bugs is the chief aim of certain
schools of medicine.
One wretched lunger lonesomer than
a.
He just used his common sense, and
the son of q gun got well.
Common sense is not looked upon
with favor by the medical men, because
they fear it would cause q strike upon
the part of the undertakers. And that
would give the whole thing away
