The \arieil Experience* of Different WinlNter* UrgardliiK the Fee. From the New’ Lippineott. The experiences of ministers are varied regarding the wedidng fee. Sometimes this reward for services tendered takes strange forms. Sometimes it is unex pectedly large, and again it is disappoint ingly small when the minister is led to suppose it will be large. This was the case with a minister living in the suburbs of Boston, who married a young couple at his home one evening not long ago. The couple arrived at the par sonage without any previous arrangement regarding their coming. The minister vas at home, and in a few minutes they were made man and wife. Then the bridegroom handed the minister a large white envel ope, its contents bulging in a way sug gestive of possible and oven probable bank bills. Hastily tearing open (ho en velope, the minister drew forth h sheet of paper, folded many times, on which was written: ‘‘Many thinks for your kind efforts in our behalf, and may we meet above." At another time this minister married a voting couple at home of the bride. The wedding was a very pretentious affair W’ith a supper served by a caterer and a general indication of prosperity that led the minister to hope for something hand some in tiie way of a fee. Just before his departure the bridegroom took him aside into a Utile hallway and said: “Sorry, parson, that I'm not fixed so that 1 can do the regular thing by you. but this marrying business i* mighty tx pensive, and— er—or—say, would it be convenient for you to loan me a five un til a week from Saturday night, when I will come around and pay it. sure pop! * A bridegroom once came to the minister to engage him to perform ihe wedding ceremony, and after all the arrangements had been made the bridegroom-elect said frankly: "I'll tell you light now that I can’t |uy all in on lump the three dollars \ am planning to give you for the job. 1 have had a cut in my wages, and 1 won’t have the three dollars to spare at one time. I’ll give you a quarter after the wedding, and then I’ll come around to your house every Saturday night and pay you a quar ter until 1 am square with you. J don't like this here gittln* married on the in stallment plan, but it is the best I can do.” Said q Southern minister: “One of the queerest fees I ever received was from a young negro bridegroom for whom I performed the wedding ceremony at my own home. At the close of the rere money, a nd Just as tiie bridal party of five or six w’ere about to depart, the bride grom Mid: ‘Yo’ will find de fee for yo’ kindness out in a co’tiah ob do po’ch, sah.’ I followed the party out on to the porch, and when they had gone their way I look ed in a corn i of the porch, when* I found a pair of tine fowls tied together by tbe legs. They wet tip a lusty squawk as i picked them up. The bridegroom had said as he went down the steps that they were 'ob hi* owil rainin'," but l never felt quite 4iurc of that.’* THE MORNING NEWS; MONDAY. JUT/Y 9. 1900. CHINESE SACRED PLANTS.

From the Philadelphia Ledger. The ancient doctrine of plant signatures no longer exercises control over human mind and action, but is unhesitatingly con signed to the fitting oblivion of ihe “Dark Ages,” one of the traditional superstitions of the past, tool obliviously ridiculous to be believed, even by the credulously ig norant of modern times. But in China we find that the far-famed ginseng rooi holds supreme plane as "the most valuable production of nature.” Af ter that, what more can be ©aid for its iikdivdnul properties? Tt is really a large variety of the well known mandrake, and, as gin is the Chi nese word for man. we trace the mean ing of the term. Because of its resem blance to the human form, it is the chief specific for all disorders of lungs or stom ach; it revives the anaemic, repels the encroachments of old age. cures asthma, .jets as counter irritant in cashes of poi son; in short, is th* mystic “all-heal." In appearance th* root, when dried, is of a .yellow . blor, streaked with black veins, as if outlined in ink. and when chewed yields a bitter-sweet juice, pleasant and chan of taste. So popular and supreme is Chinese faith in its power that the sum of three pounds of gold is gladly ex changed for one pound of ginseng. Although really not indigenous, as it Is a native of Manchuria, it forms a great exception to the usually abhorred “for eign thing.'' it is cultivated, nurtured, even guarded carefully from the profane or greedy intruder. It* IfnhltHt. To the northeast of Pekin, between it ami t lie province of Leas Tong, stretches a wiki and almost Inaccessible hilly coun try of deep wild forests, which is staked in by high palisades and strongly guarded by Chinese soldiers, who prevent Intru sion government would make of its growth a monopoly, and many a Tartar i isks lib- and limb to cross the Rubicon •nd steal the treasure. The Tartar, in his name of Orhota, considers it as the chief of plants. tinge Botanic Excurnlnn. hen Tartary was surveyed by the Emperor Kam-he. the well known Fere Jartotix was enjoined by the Emperor to watr-h for the ginseng. On this occasion a veritable army of Tartars. 10.000 in num ber. were employed to gather the valued plan*, and this army of botanists was sub-divided into companies of 100 men each, under a chief. !• or six months they crossed and re- C.rossed the country, till every available root was gathered in, and after allowing two ounces apier* to each gatherer, the remainder was fought in by equal weight in pure silver.

The Lotus Bean. With far more of mystic tlian of ma terial regard de wo find the Ne’umbo or sacred lotus bean enter into the Chinese conception of an ideal or higher life. Egypt, wherein it ruled as the great em blem of sanctity and claimed as its fol lowers a devoted priesthood 4.4X0 years ago. now knows It not; and so to India and China principally may we go to see and learn of the sacred lotus. Above all sacred plants is it cherished by Chinese ami Japs alike; ihe flower of flowers, uneontaminated by the muddy waters on which it floats, this Llen-wha and its beauties arc sung by the poets, its virtues extolled and worshipped; for ac cording to theology it Is the nec tar and enters into the beverage of im mortality. No greater pleasure, no higher form of enjoyment, is conceivable for mortal man than to float upon the river in moonlight amidst the lotus beds. It is a taste of the blessed life to come and is truly a purely ideal, as well as intensely simple, mode of enjoyment, when compared with our noisy beer gardens and garish display of col ored lights; and yet we regard this ardent admirer of the lotus, ever and always, as the heathen Chinee. To him it is typical of female beauty and on its leaves the mysterious god, Puzza. is reverently sear ed. Nor 4s the lotus without its associa tions for the Christian. Its fruit is di vided into valves and in each rests a nut abottklhe size of a filbert, with flavor more delicate than that of the almond. When ground it was often mixed with flour for bread. In ancient* days when nuts were encased in balls of clay and thrown out Upon the watery bosom of the mighty Nile, a custom whlc/h commentators seem to think forms the real explanation of our popular text: “Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days.’’ The Klee. Rice, the grain of grains in all Eastern countries. Is estimated in China as the symbol of life, generation and abundance. In the spring, at the great fire festival, the priests of Tao carry baskets of rice and salt towards the various flaming bra alert, and as they walk in circles around each one they cast in alternate handfuls of salt and rice, the former to purify the- flame and thereby' to produce an abundant harvest of the latter. The Japanese have a very wonderful le gend of the discovery of the rice by a mouse, which is, to a limited extent, be lieved also by the Chinese. In ancleri days the priests of Nikko (Bonzes) lived solely on roots and herbs until one day a Bonze saw a little mouse carrying to its hole various grains. Anxious to find out where the mouse had found these, he trap P-d It and tied to one of its legs a silk thread, and then, setting it free whilst holding tin 1 silken clue in his hand, he followed tin mouse on and on Into a far off land, where live grew abaundantly. The Bonze remained and learned of its cultivation; then returned, bringing grain with him for seed in his own land. Soon the crop he had sowed sprang up, the people learned to like it. and ever since the mouse lias been one of the sacred animals to the Japanese poor, a sort Of feilsh to lie hung up in every house, even worshiped, under the name of Dlakoku-Sama. The throwing of rice at weddings Is distinctly a borrowed custom from the Orient. The Tlan-lsl Stars.

Just as our Dipper— know In England ns the Plow or Charles Wain—is recognized by >. simplest In the land, otherwise Ignorant of the vast science of astronomy—so does the Tlen-tsl, “Celestial millet," appeal to Chinese eyes and hearts, and Its ap pearance betokens for (hem that the palace of the King of Grain is overhead.

A -SI N-SrOT" Y EAH. I t *>iiii II > Notable In the Enrtli for M.ini le*lntioti* of 4ire*l Electrical Knerg} . From the Boston Advertiser. It is to be believed, from evidence© now to seen in the sun. that a period of great activity is in progress there, and that the effects of this immeasurable force will be seen during the next five years in whet is known as "sun spots.’’ These sun spots are ©opposed to be great solar volcanoes, or other disturbance* of the sun’s surface in eomc visible way. The spots can be seen easily by observers during the years up to 1905. when the max imum will have been reached. These sup posed cavities sometimes go to a width o f about 20,000 miles, and then break up into tw<b separate spots or cavilie©, some times separating at the rate of perhaps 100 miles an hour. The energy sent out by the same force that causes these sun spots must be enor mous. There are ©ome reasons for bre lieving that before the epot? themselves make their appearance to the sight, the energy is at work and is radiated from the sun to the planets of this system. At all events the sun-spot periods are usual ly notable on the earth for peculiar man ifestations of electrical energy. The elec tric ©term* that have been seen in New England lately are due. in some degree, to the solar energy and the electricity sent to the earth as a result. Such, at least, is a widely received scientific theory. It may be that the sun spots, or the en ergy of which they are merely the result, work in some tashion that cannot be so easily traced. During the pest three years, when the sun’s energies have been <: work, strange things have happened in the world. Is if merely n coincidence? If so. it is at least worth notice that coin cidences of thi© kind are not. rare, if one takes the trouble to look up the story of th* civilized world In the few* years pre ceding cac.i neriod of outbreak of stin spots, say, in the past fifty years. To trace back the periods, reckoning eleven years as the cycle, the beginnings O! sun soot outbreaks would he reckoned in 1889. 1887. 18l>7. and 185t>. in ©uch a count. These date- are not exact because period of duration is not exactly measur ed in units of years. Still it is surely worth some notice that before the period of 1856 there came the desperate outbreak of the war in the Grimea: that before the period of 1867 th* United States was rav aged' by civil war to an extent hardly ev*r recorded jn the history of any other country, and that the great tragedy of Lincoln's death had been recorded: that preceding the sun-spot period of 1878 there came the harrowing experiences of France, culminating in the communist riots*, wnd the Rua-dan-Turkish war* that before 1889 came the Roumelian revolu tion. the Nihilist outbreak in Russia, and the war with the Afghans: and that be fore 1900 came the w-ar with Spain, the Jameson raid, and the eon sequent war be. the Boers and the British. It is also interesting to note how finan cial movements of importance have ac companied th* manifestation of sun spots in the past half century. Each period has been accompanied by great business booms, end the climax and disappearance of the sun srx>ts in close proximity to a financial panic, except in 1861, when the immense preparations for war in the Uni fed States rather caused -better business. Since that date, however, the years 1873 1884. and 1895 were years of wide-spread financial and industrial depression. This coincidence is also strlkfng enough to be noted. Of course such coincidences do not prove that the energy or the reaction in the sun causes such results on the eerth;but it is at least remarkable .that the sun’s energy and the human energy on the earth should have run in cycles fo closely alike. —On the Morn ng of the Picnic—“ Gan I help you, Maria?” “Yes, I've dressed Tommy—now you keep him clean while I dress myself ami th- two girls Chicago Record.

SINGLE LOT O The “closing out'’ sale of the Chatham Real Estate and Improvement Company’s holdings in the southeastern section of the city affords an investment for investors as well as home-seekers. The terms of sale ; are such that a block of lots can be bought ! by any one who lias a reasonable income. What some men spend for cigars, to say | nothing about more expensive enjoyments, will pay for a block of lots in five years. It is only an institution like the Chatham Real Estate and Improvement Company that can offer such terms to purchasers as S2O down and $2.50 per month and 3 per cent, interest on deferred payrn* nts for a lot! It takes a strong comjwny to do this, and when it offers to build a house for the purchaser of a lot just as soon as he dem onstrates that he can pay back what he borrows, its way of doing business is sim ply out of reach of competition. Every body who knows anything knows that what the Chatham Real Estate and Im provement Company promts* s it will per form. It is offering these lots on the terms indicated because tiie directors of the company have decided that its real estate must be closed out “regardless of cost."

There is but one cardinal reason: The Water is o natural diuretic. Get hold or that phrase In its full meaning, if you please. Turn to Abernethy. "Nature’s way of cure of disease is by free diuresis.” And Avenbrugger: “Nature cares for the kidneys. That is health.” And Bichat: “Health is impossible if the diuretics be neglected.” Fut it in this way: The Water has a selective action on the kidneys. The ex cretion of the solid matters—-the urea, uric acid, and extractive matters—is In creased by it. In other words, it causes the elimination of the products of the increased metamorphosis of tissue. And yet. notice that this is done without any impairment of the quality of the blood, or any* lowering of the forces of the organ ism.

Go to the Spring, if you can. It means much more than you can dream of. You want the Water as Nature hands it forth.
