Ginseng In China.

Much Of the American ginseng sent
to China brings small prices because
it shows cultivation, being smooth,
round and light in color What Is
wanted is the wild looking root The
central theory Of the use of ginseng
decoction is that it combines in itself
the virtues of nature-wind, water,
woods, the elements and wild nature
generally; hence the gnarled, twisted
wild root is the ideal, and any domes-
ticated or cultivated variety is merely
a substitute. This substitute ought to
be as near like the wild as possible.
If the root grows in the shape Of or
seems to bear some resemblance, even
by severe stretch Of the Imagination,
to some animal 1t has increased virtue
in the trade. For this and similar rea-
sons it is necessary that the small
head of the root Joined to the rest of
the root by a small neck shall remain
part of the product. Breaking of
such little heads reduces the value of
the root in the Chimes market by fully
half, as rule.-C Chicago News.

Antiquity Of spectacIes.

The ordinary magnifying spectacles
with convex lenses came into use some
time near the end of the thirteenth
century. Their invention is generally
attributed to two Italians, Armati and
Splna. AS a matter of fact at this
time old people in Germany were
wearing glasses. According to G. 81.
Oliver, writing in the British Medical
Journal, the first use of concave lenses
was Of much later date, probably not
until the middle of the sixteenth CEN
tury. 1t appears that at first the doc
tors were down on glasses because
they interfered with the sale Of lotions
for weak eyes. Their first mention by
a doctor is credited to Bernard Gordon,
professor in Montpelier, who informed
the world that they were unnecessary,
thanks to his wonderful lotions. In
these early days their use was limited
for many reasons. They were clumsy
and LII shaped, making the wearer con-
spicuous and subjecting him to ridicule
oftentimes Of far from gentle type.
And above all they were very expen-
,sive. For example, DR.. Oliver says,
"At the end of the sixteenth century
the price per pair, expressed in terms
Of present day value, was from $50 to
$780,"

George III. was such a thrifty king

the little chap, of whom Thackeray
tells this delightful story, and longed
to knight him on the spot.
One day, when the king and queen
were walking together, probably at
Kew, they met little boy-they were
always fond of children, the good folks
and patted the little towhead.
''Whose little boy are your" asked
the king.
81 am the kings beef eaters little
boy" replied the child.
On which the king said. '"Then kneel
down and kiss the queens hand"
But the innocent offspring of the
beef eater declined this treat.

Specimens of the work of Lionel and

sent to me by the old poet himself in a

KENYON Law DISGRACE
TO nation, SAYS finch
Federal Investigator Holds Up Act to
Maryland Legislature as
Warning to State.
MUST CARE FOR DELINQUENTS

Annapolis. Md. Feb. lS.-Branding as
a disgrace to the nation the passage by
Congress of the Kenyon law. wiping out
the red light district of Washington
without making any provision for its in
mates. Stanley W. Finch. head of the
National Social Welfare League, and for
many years connected with the United
States Department OF Justice. today
sounded a note of warning to Maryland
lest IL do the same thing.
Mr. Finch's warning was delivered to
the members OF the house ways and
means committee and the senate finance
committee. which had arranged a hear
ing for n large delegation that had come
to Annapolis to urge State control OF the
Maryland Industrial School
Mr.. Finch urged the committee to make
arrangements for taking over the school
saying that unless such control is as
sumed. the State may find itself in the
same position that the National Capital
now finds itself.
There are some objections tC the idea
OF housing delinquent girls and dependent
girls under the same roof as now is be-
ing done.
Mr.. Finch explained that by thriving
the two classes OF girls together the
method would work to the disadvantage
OF the dependents. He said the manner
in which the inmates Of WashingtCns
rcd light" district had been thrown into
the streets without any provision what
ever having been made for them. was a
blot on the national honor. He pointed
out that unless Maryland now takes the
opportunity to provide fer its delinquents
it may find itself in a very awkward
position when the reform wave, now
brewing. sweeps over Baltimore.
