Ginseng, Growth.

The manner OF the ginseng's growth
gives II a queer shape and In some
cases fabulous value. There Is first
main root or trunk Then on the
sides there will be smaller roots. one
on side, and by curious formation
the otfshoots resemble arms and legs
so that the full grown ginseng looks
for the world like a human figure
Inc more the fancied likeness TO the
human form is developed the greater
the value. according 10 some OF the
Chinese. The root as an herb has
wonderful properties, but too. 50
much beyond is the value of one that
looks human. The others will cure
cancers and all sorts OF other diseases,
but the precious one having the hu-
man shape will keep of devils and all
bad luck. -ArgonAur

During the first fifty years Of the
old American navy. 1T9S-ls4S, the
mortality of naval officers resulting
from duels was two-thirds that result
ing from naval wars. In the eighty-two
duels listed by recent writer thirty
six men were killed, all naval officers
except three civilians The per cent
Of mortality was %, or five times the
mortality Of the federal army In the
civil war. One-half of those not killed
in these duels were wounded The
large number of casualties was I'M
doubtedly due to the short distance
between the combatants, which Gus
tomarily was only ten PAGES, or thirty
feet. In a few duels the distance was
even less. In the Barron-Decatni
duel It was twenty-four feet and only
twelve In the cambridge Cochran

 Attractive charts, 128 in number are to be seen in the Normal room. where are preserved these practical augTnents to the daily work in drawing, history, geography, nature study and physiol- ogy.
 A departure from the regulation pro- gram of teaching day Is the fact that this year no special preparation for a day of correlated historical or geo. graphical incident has been made. and the teachers will present for the edifi- cation of visitors the ordinary work as outlined in the city curriculum.
 The higher grade rooms. in which the work is conducted by teachers of the regular corps. will be open to all de- string to visit them.

Frog Kelly, John Beck, Shorty Tony Marcantonio, Bull Rock. the Herman Boys and other familiar characters about the Tenderloin, thronged the Wa terbury, John ,Sunarto's classy booze palace in Water street. last night. Music of 23 piece nickel-over-bras band, solos by several artists of met ropoHtan reputation. assaults upon the piano by Henri BlatZ. decorations Of the flags of all nations, handsome floral favors, all contributed to make the opening of the Waterbury one of the. events of the red light district.
 aSmartO went over his books the other day and found business was bad. He called in his advisory board and de- cided upon radical means to stimulate interest. He opened the place a year ago and called it the "Waterbury." In conformity with the etiquette of the monplace sort of event. and business was only fair.
 ."I'll give 'em an opening thatll make 'em talk,'' declared John. He kept his word. Anticipating a crowd he hurried to Supt. Birmingham yester- day and asked for a detail of police. The superintendent made a few inquir- ies, then decided to let Johns guests fight it out among themselves. So John got half a dozen burly bouncers
 
 and no disorder was reported.
 By 10 o'clock every other spot in the Tenderloin was deserted. Pianos pounded out their mechanical melodies fortissimo, yet in vain. White apron ed waitresses waited in vain for wine buyers. Early in the evening the pro- prietors of the other resorts counted up their cash registers, stuffed the days receipts into their jeans and ac- companied by their retainers paraded around to the Waterbury.
 Five bartenders hurled the liquid re- treatments over the bar. Turkey steaming and savory was served to all Johns handsome face -wreathed in smiles as the merry tintinnab bulation of the cash registers rang out in ap- proval of his wisdom in arranging the opening.
 John estimated the number of his visitors at ten million. His receipts were something short of $100,O00. It was a big night for John
