The Sumac Trade in Virginia.


From a conversation with gentleman in
this city, engaged in the preparation of
sumac for market, we learn that the trade
IN that article in Virginia is becoming a
most important one. The leaves, the part
OF the plant used in commerce, are gath
cred principally by the very poor people,
white and colored, and the business is to
them source of great relief. This gen.
tleman informed us that he kept an &C.
count of the amount paid out last season
in sums of less than one dollar, and it foot
ed up about 1000. 1t grows spontaneous
ly, and all that is paid for it to the gather
ers is clear profit 1t is estimated that from
$3.50, 900 to $500, 900 was paid for the raw
material last fall. 1t is ground and pre-
pared for use here, is shipped to New
York, and sold to tanners for from
S05 to 500 per ton. The only competition
our dealers meet in the market is from the
importers of Sicily sumac, which sells for
from $40 to $3.50 per ton. In Sicily su-
mac is cultivated, and its quality is supe-
rlor to that grown here. There is tariff
OF two cents per pound on Sicily sUmac,
and we see that it has been recommended
to abolish this tariff and admit it free of
duty. This would have the effect of cheap
enlng 1t to an extent that would drive the
Virginia article out of the market, and the
State would lose the benefit of the quarter
of a million of dollars which now comes
here and is distributed among the very
poorest classes of our population. It is
probable that the increasing value of the
article will stimulate it's cultivation in the
State, and we are satisfied from what we
have seen in our own section that it would
be, if the tariff on Sicily sumac is not re-
moved, as profitable, if not more profitable,
than any other crop that can be raised.
Extensive preparations have been made in
this and other cities prepare it for mark
ct, and we hope to see the business encour-
aged by the Government

A QUESTION IN MANY HoNrEs.-The fine
times when we could all live on the fat of the
land have gone by, perhaps never to return.
OF late, the question how to obtain the larg-
est amount of wholesome, palatable nourish-
ment at the lowest possible price, has been
earnestly discussedin thousands Of American
homes. The introduction of SEA Moss
FARlNE as national food staple, solves that
problem. From no other article under the
sun can the same amount of delicious fare be
obtained for the same cost. The custards,
Charlottes, jelies, buildings, &c, made from
it are ''ft for Juno when she banquets;" and
as clari1ier for refining cider and other fer
mented potables, it has no equal. The SEA
Moss FARTNE' Co., who own the patent for the
article, have Their central depot at 50 Park
Place, New York, and within twelve months
they have established business of immense
magnitude and Importance.

THE Austrian Marshal, Baron Won Hesse,
whose death has just been announced, was
born in 1888, and entered the military SER
vice in 1906. He distinguished himself
greatly at the battle Of Wagram, and went
through a most brilliant career. AS Field
Marshal-Lieutenant in 1912, he remained
attached to the Army of Italy, and the war
OF 1913 furnished him with an opportunity
for displaying his strategical requirements
In the war of 1859. after the defeat of Ma
genta, he was called to replace Gen. Giulay
at the head Of the Austrian forces; and he
1t was who drew out, with the Emperor
