The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1881-01-11
American and italian Sunao.

The quantity of native sumac, brought
into tho market does not exceed about
5000 tons yearly, and it's market price ,s
only 500 per ton, just half the price of the
Italian product. This difference in value
is due to the fact that the American s,!mac,
as at present prepared. Is not suitable for
making the finer white feathers used for
gloves and fancy shoes, owing to its Civ
ing dlsagrecable yellow or dirty color.
1t has recently been shown, however, that
The leaves OF native sumac gathered in
June and July, are equal to the best for
cign leaves. The Importance of this dis
covcry may be seen by the fact that the
cultivation of the plant may bc carried ON
most protitably in this country us soon as
manufacturers and dealers recognlxc the
improvement thus obtained in the domestic
article, anu by classifying it according to
its percentage Of tannic acid and It's
relative freedom from colorlng matter, adj
vance the price Of that which is carly
picked and carefully treated. In Italy tie
sumac is planted in shoots in the spring in
rows, and is cultivated IN the same way
and to about the same extent as corn. IL
gives u crop the second year after setting
out, and regularly thereafter. The s,lmac
gathered IN this country is taken mostly
from wild plants growing on waste land,
but there is no reason why it should not be
utilized and cultivated Of land not valuable
for other crops.

Select a level piece OF sod ground, say
20x40 feet then build clay loom around
tho border twelve inches high by twelve
inchos wide on the top with soping sides.
Where tho soil is sandy, or tho turf will
not hold water, then four inches Of clay
must be used on tho bottom surface, TO
make everything water tight, although wa.
ter must mover be allowed to stand In 1t;
and If built early in the fall, you must pro.
vide on outlet to Garry OFF tho water that
might accumulate from the fall rains.
everything being In readiness. whom tho
thermometer fsll eight degrees below

hydrant, using a fine rose nozzle, and play
ing tue stream up In the air 80 as to have
1t come down In the form of fine mist.
and freeze on striking the ground, as no
water must be allowed to stand in puddles
nor Iun on striking the surface at any tine
during tho winter, as it will make shelly

About LaCe.

In the sixteenth century lace vas q IA.
vorite lovers bribc to an Abigail. Silyio
in the bill CT costs he sent to tho widow of
belinda, at the termination of his unsuo
cessful suit, makes charge for "picc(
Of Flanders lace" to her waiting woman
Swift addressed young lady" in his pc
culiar strain: "And when you are among
yourselves, how naturally after the first
compliments, do you entertain yourselves
with the price and choice OF lace, and ap-
ply your hands to each others lappets and
rufflcs, as If the whole business of life and
the public concern depended, on the cut Of
your pettlcoats." Not Satisfied with lace
when alive, both men and women craved
for ii as decoration for their grave
clothes. In Malta. Greece. and the lonian
Islands, the practice Of buryipg people III
lace acquired an unsavory reputation on
account Of the custom Of rifling the tombs
and selling the laco--often in filthy con-
dltion---in the market. At Palermo the
mummes in the catacoinbs of the Capuchln
Convent are adorned with lace, and in
Northern and Middle Europe this fashion
prevailed for long period. In the church
Of Revel lies the Due de Croy, general of
Charles the Twelfth, In full costume, with
rich flowing tic Of fine guipurea.

Dust.

Instances OF explosions caused by tho ig.
milton OF carbonaccous dust floating in the
atmosphere have become 30 numerous that
such dust may be counted among the ex-
plosives. Such explosions are not uncom-
mon in coal mines. An explosion was
caused in Paris in 1859 by the taking fire
OF dust rising from a sack of starch which
was thrown down stairs and burst. The
fatal explosion which took place in a candy
factory in New York city few years ago
was probably duo TO the starch dust float
ing IN the room. The explosion of the flour
dust in the mills at Minneapolis, Mimi, in
1873, Is another case in point. An explo
sion of malt dust recently took place IN a
brewery at Burton-on- Trent, England;
finally, 1t has been suggested that the ex-
plosiou which signaizcd the breaking out
of tho fro on the Scawanhaka was one OF
coal dust, such as often takes place in our
stoves.
