Potting Barb-Wire Fencing Around the'‘Klda" Ed. Democrat: It looks to me as if the Marion tp.. Trustee had money to “burn” from the way barb-wire fences are being put up around the country schoolhouses. The Bowling Green schoolhouse has been fenced with a wire fencing strong enough for the Chicago stock yards. It has a 2.(6 acantling at the top and a hog wi\y on top of the posts, also two wires below. It looks to me as if the public servant of Marion tp , had run out of ways of spending the township money so is fencing in the school children. In my opinion a barb-wire fence is a nuisance, especially around a school house. But possibly he thought the children played too much, or he has public money to bay clothes for those who tear them chasing after bat and ball. In Heavens name add it to the “poor fund” or leave it in the jackets of the people instead of spending it so foolishly This work is about as useless ns that of a former trustee who put up fingerboards at every cross road in the township. It might have been a good idea a hundred years ago, or even fifty years, to keep out wild beasts or herds of cattle, but not now. The township advisory board should not sanction this foolish and useless expenditure of township funds. Marion Tp.

"[?]EN HUR” AT CHICAGO.

As a pictorial achievment the dramatized version of General Lew Wallace’s “Ben Hur’’ is a triumph of stagecraft. The dramatic features of the representation are really secondary, but are so cleverly handled that acting and stage pictures peem to blend naturally into a harmonious whole. * * * It was a stately gathering in the beginning, but when Ben Hur and Messala engaged in their sensational clftriot race, decorum was put aside for the nonce and applause took the form of cheers and waving of handkerchiefs.

Two chariots, each drawn byfour Arabian steeds, formed the center of the exciting picture. Despite the machinery, it was for the moment a real race. The foam-flecked animals, with farstretched necks and dilated nostrils, ran like the wind under the lashes of the charioteers. The wheels of the gaudy cars rumbled and tipped from side to side: first Ben Hur and then Messela guiiu d the lead. Ben Hur won and the curtian dropped amid a pandemonium of cheers Wilder enthusiasm than that which followed this scene has seldom manifested itself in a theatre. * * * Lust night’s audience sat spellbound for several seconds and then burst into prolonged applause.—Chicago Chronicle.

GINSENG.

Chinese Pay Fancy Price* for Root That Is Useless to Us. Among the odd vegetable exhibitions in the Horticulture building, ! writes Herbert Shearer, we find this J «ddity that the mountaineers of lvenI tueky and Tennessee have been hunting for generations under the name of “Sang.” So thoroughly and persistently have these easy-going, lanky American hunters indulged in this exciting sport that they have secured about all the “Sang” that they can find. This is not to be wondered at when we consider that in the wild etate it takes from five to eight years to grow a root that one of these fellows will dig up in about one minute and that the farther destructive methods of digging up young roots that have not sufficiently matured to bear seed is universally practiced, and that when the seed is matured it requires a year and a half to germinate. Apparently nature has thrown a number of safeguards about the over-pro-duction of this unsavory product with undue precaution. Another peculiarity about ginseng is the lack of any mortal use for it, so far as we know. Americans so far have never been able to discover any valuable qualities belonging to ths plant, though it is worth in the open market five or six dollars per pound. The only sale for it is among the Chinese, and they persistently and positively refuse to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, as to what they do with it; but this probably concerns us very little 6o long as they are willing to pay the price and increase our foreign exports to the amount of several hundred thousand dollars per annum. Owing to the difficulty of propagating the plant, it has only been recently grown artificially, and not now to any great extent, owing to the long wait from the planting the feed to the maturity of the root. Young America would rather grow itwo crops in a ytar of some other product than to wait seven or eight years for one crop of ginseng. There are gardens, however, at Bose Ilill, New York, that are apparently making a success of this long-drawn-out propositi on, as this plant is now bringing them a good deal of money, which illustrates the old saying, “all things come to him who waits.”

A COSTLY CEREMONY.

Much Good Money Spent on the Corona, tion of King*. The most expensive coronation that ever took place, says London Answers, was that of the present czar of ItUfsia. Upwards of £3,000.000 ; was expended by the government | alone, and .fully another £1,000.000 bv the public authorities of various | llussian towns. The representative! of other powers vied with each other jin lavish outlays, and, counting the sums spent by private persons, the •coronation of Nicholas 11. cannot have cost much lt-fS than £5,000,000. The coronation of t zar Nicholas I. was also a very expensive alfair. The then duke of Devonshire was i the British representative, and spent fully £50,000 of his own money in connection with it. The coronation of Georve IV. was the most expensive of any English monarch, and this only cost £2,500,000. Of this amount, £25,000 was i expended on the coronation robe,ai.d £45,000 on the crown. The cost of the coronation of George 111. did not amount to half that of the coronation of George IV.. William IV. had a profound dislike to pomp and pageantry, and on his accession expressed a desire that the coronation ceremonies should be made as simple and' inexpensive as they could be. The whole cost of the coronation amounted to only £30,000. The coronation of Queen Victoria cost £70,000.

Sunshine and Sleep.

No sirup of poppies, no tincture of opium, no powders of morphine, says one of the medical journals, can compare in sleep-producing power with sunshine. The worst soporific is laudanum and the best is sunshine. Therefore, it is easily understood that poor sleepers should pass as many hours in the sunshine as possible. Many women aye martyrs, anti'do not know it. They ■'hut the sunshine out of their houses, they wear veils, they carry sunshades, they do all that is possible to keep otf the sublest and yet most potent influence which is intended to give them strength and beauty and cheerfulness.

C. D. Nowels and A. Leopold were in Chicago Tuesday and investigated the business and financial standing of the novelty manufacturing company which proposes to locate here on condition SIS,(XX) cash and two acres of ground is given them. They rel>ortod to the Commercial Club Wednesday evening, recommending that the factory l>e secured if possible. Another meeting of the club will be held at the east court room next Friday night to take some action in the matter, and it is desired that a full attendance be had. Onion growing about Wheatis not proving highly satisfactory this year to the growers we understand. The soil is not rich enough to carry the onions through the season, and fully develope them, therefore the yield this season, it is claimed, will not run much over 150 to 175 bushels per acre. It is no more work to care for them on ground that will produce 500 bushels per acre than it is on ground that produces only one-half that amount. The Ohio men, who have about 100 acres out just north of Wheatfield, had intended to put out two to three times that amount of acerage next year, but the yield and quality has been sodisappointing to them that they have about given up putting out any at all unless they can get a suitable fertilizer at a moderate price. It is thought that a top dressing of stable manure will be good, and they are now figuring on the cost of shipping the same in from Chicago. The future of the onion industry in that locality depends on the result of their investigation of the cost of bringing in this fertilizer.
