OF GRAFT RIDDEN
PITTSBURG

PITTsBURG. April 4.-The kissing OF
Mayor william a. Magee, Of Pittsburg by
n meeting OF citizens called TO discuss tho
question OF why Pitisburg is famous for
its dishonest officials is being followed by
a movement on the part OF a number Of
prominent business men to start house
cleaning from the mayor down. A demand
has been made IN some quarters that all
present officials be removed During the
investigations OF the grand jury nothing
has been found i'm the slightest way TO
show that Mayor Magee has been any
thing but an honest official, and his
friends declare tho kissing was the work
of his political rivals.

A Phensnnts Blind FLIGHT.

Speaking OF the habits Of pheasants,
Bailey's Magazine says:
"a very curious incident was record
ed in October. 1896 A hen pheasant
was flushed in a field Of turnips, and
as she got up few into a piece Of rot
ten, wet leaf, which clung around her
head, completely enveloping It and
blindfolding her. She kept ahead TO
wind. so that the wet leaf still re-
mained plastered over her eyes, and
in this plight fluttered higher till she
became exhausted and gradually sank
to earth again.
'The frequency with which pleas
ants fly through windows, sometimes
with fatal results, is thought TO be due

While there is a big discrepancy be-
tween the prices which it was claimed
could be got for ginseng in the craze
which swept over the country four or
FIVE years ago and those which are
quoted today, the returns are never
theless sufficient TO give a good in
terest return on the money invest
ed. provided one has the patience TO
bide his time for results. The present
prices Of ginseng range from $3.50 TO
S675 per pound for the dried roots,
the higher prices being received for
the wild product. which finds a congo
NAL home In moist, moldy wood lots
where the shade is sufficiently dense
to keep blue grass from getting a foot
hold. The roots should not be gath
cred before they are two years old,
while much larger and a better quality
of roots are secured II they are al
lowed to grow longer period. In the
artificial cultivation of ginseng the
conditions Of moisture and shade re-
ferred to as existing in a native wood
lot are reproduced as nearly as possi-
BILE, the beds being shaded by the erec-
ton Of slat roofs and abundant mois-
ture being supplied IL the rainfall
should not be sufficient.

If the truth were known It would
probably come to light that the in
creased cost Of living is due TO n sub
stantial increase in freight and express
rates as well as to a perceptble inaa-
ton OF the circulating medium and
scarcity of some staple food supplies
This advance in transportation rates
has been very quietly made. but the
increase has been considerable, and the

advance to the prices he had been pre-

or all shortsighted initial economies
there is none worse than the buying
Of runty and unthrifty fruit trees just
because they can be got cheap, and
this is true whether one is setting an
orchard for himself or expects TO turn
it over to some customer at bearing
age. 1t is the start a tree gets, as in
the case Of a calf or a pig, during the
first three years that largely deter
mines not only its later beauty, but
utility as a horticultural thing, and
hence every reasonable precaution
should be taken to see that the choice
of the young trees as well as the care
given should be of the best.
