Mr.. EDIroR.-In looking over the last issue
OF the TRUE NoRTHERNER my attention was ar
rested by poetica tribute to the death OF
Miss Eva o. Freer signed by Melia Palmer, said
tribute being an almost verbatim copy of an
obituary notice written by myself on the death
OF the infant daughter of Charles e. and Josie
Bradshaw. Now,I do not claim to be first-class
writer but do claim to sign my name only to
my own compositions and do not propose to
have them appropriated by, or attributed to
another. l confess to feeling Of indignation
towards the usurper of my rights, on seeing my
own article signed by another as OF course, l,
too might now be accused OF copying from an
others original piece which rightly belongs to
me. l regret to be obliged to bring myself into
public notice but think this announcement but
justice to myself. ANNA BARTON.

Sumac,

The Scientific American says: Sumac
is largely used in tanning the finer kinds
of leather, especially in the manufac-
ture of the hard grained morocco and
similar goods. It is also employed as
the base of many colors in calico and
deIaine printing. Probably the con-
sumption of this article throughout the
country for all purposes aggregates
more than 10000 tons, of which about
two-thirds are imported from Sicily,
not because just as good sumac cannot
be grown in this country, but because,
not know it's value, or in what way to
prepare it for the market.
The sumacs of Virginia, Maryland
and Tennessee in particular are said to
be the best in the world, and even their
worst varieties have been officially pro-
nounced by experts to be better than
any imported from Sicily. Almost every
farmer has a clump of these bushes.
They are called by some "shoemake, "
and by others, "red shOemake." Prob
ably many farmers have tried to kill
them by cutting down. If they have,
they know how difficult task it Is. 1t
grows like asparagus, all the better for
being cut; and when once started upon
lot and cut close once a year, it is as
easy to cut az fodder.
The only trouble is in curing it prop
erly. This must be done with all the
care that is given to tobacco or hops.
Expo ure, after cutting, to heavy dew
Injuries it, and a rainstorm detracts ma
terially from its value. 1t is cut when
in full leaf, and when properly dried is
ground, leaves and stalks together. An
acre in full bearing will produce not
less than three tons, and when fit for
market it is worth from $50 to 800 per
ton. The manufacturers" as the
curers are called, pay about one cent a
pound for it in a green state. A sumac
mill costs about s., 3,0O0.

How Little it Costs to Take an Ocean
Voyage.

A remarkable instance of the extent
to which competition may be carried
may be found in the wonderfully re-
duced rates of transatlantic passage at
the present times. A steerage passage
to Europe may be obtained as low as
$40, while the average prices are from
$12 to 1925 dollars. During the past
summer many Irish and English emil
grants have gone back to their native
land to visit friends and relatives, and
they are now beginning to return-700
having arrived at Castle Garden one
day last month. The cheapness of the
fare renders the European trip really
little more than pleasure excursion.
The food consists of boiled beef and
pork. salt fish, hot bread, crackers, rice
and barley soup, potatoes, hard ships
biscuit, porridge, molasses, and poor
grade of coffee. The passengers have to
provide their own plates and table cut
lery. They also provide their own beds
and blankets. A "kit" consists of
set of tin dishes, and straw bed can be
bought of venders on the wharfs for
from So. so TO IS. These, especially the
beds, are usually thrown away at the
end of the voyage. Water has to be
OSOt~AhSN Oh N1COhS OLS ~ 10
much less plentiful than food. There
are generally number of musical in
struments and many musicians. On
the voyage they amuse themselves with
music, songs and dancing. Every day
those who are able to do so are required
to go on deck to get the fresh air.
Now, that this era of cheap fares to
Europe has been inaugurated in one
portion of the ship, it is morally GER
tain that, sooner or later, it must come in
the other. To be sure it does not cost
so much to carry steerage as it does to
carry cabin passengers; but, with con-
tinually increasing competition, it is
very certain that reduction must come
in the higher class of fares, and the
profits of steamship companies be great
ly cut down. The man who, twenty
ago, would have spoken of going to
Europe for $40 would have been hooted
at. That has come to pass, and it can
not be long, with the fierce rivalry now
waging, that even greater wonders may
be looked for.
