education and experience, he advised
me to make decoction of ground quas-
STA, hall ounce stepped in a pint of
vinegar, and to put about teaspoonful
of it in q little water, and to drink it
down every time the liquor thirst came
on me violent. l found it satisfied the
cravings, and it suffused a feeling of
stimulus and strength Icontinued this
cure and preserved till the thirst was
conquered. For two years 1 have not
tasted liquor, and have no desire for it.
Lately, to try my strength, have hand
led and smelt whisky, but l have no
temptation to take it. l give this for the
consideration of the unfortunate, several

Ever since the war sumac has been an
article OF regular production in the
United States. Previous to that time
the use OF sumac grown in this country
has been comparatively insignificant,
while we import good deal annually
from Europe. After the war the negroes
and poor whites in Virginia were en-
couraged to gather the leaves of the
sumac, then growing abundantly in
wild state, there, by the ready sale it
commanded, and mills for its grinding
were set up in Richmond, Petersburg,
Lynchburg, and other place. This was
Immediately heralded by the newspapers
as a new industry, which was the fact,
but far greater Importance was given to
the matter than it really deserved. The
American sumac was from the first, and
is STILL direct competitor, for many
uses, with that raised in Sicily, but the
latter has steadily sold at a materially
higher price, its value in the market to-
day being 500 to $40 per ton, as COM
pared with $75 to $50 per ton, which is
the selling figure for the American. The
article is used in dyeing as mordant,
and in tanning, for the manufacture of
goat skins into morocco. The American
sumac is said to be fully as strong in tam

made have varied grately, which is pro-
badly mainly due to the different plants
tested, and the different stages of their
growth; American sumac, however has
a greater proportion of coloring matter
than the former, but is not, as rule,
as carefully gathered, cured, and ground
as the Sicily article. The plant has
been carefully cultivated in Sicily fol
generations, while most of that gathered
here is of wild growth, although the pro
liability that it would make good pay
ing crop, under proper cultivation, ha.
been repeatedly urged.
The owners of sumac mills urge upol
collectors the following points The lea
should be taken when full of sap, befor
it has turned red, begun to wither, o
been affected by the frost; either the lea
bearing stems may be stripped off, q
the entire stalk cut away, and the leave
allowed to wither before carrying to til
drying shed, but they must be neithe
scorched nor bleached by the sun. TIL

tons annually, and is collected betwee

Protection Against Gnats.

Last week l made what / think is a
good discovery, and that is, that cam

have several which were shut away in
dark stable, and as wished favorite
pony to Craze, and knowing that mos
quitoes did not like compton, l thought
l would see what it would do for gnats.
So made a flannel bag and put about
the third of a pound of gum camphor in
it and hung it around the pony's neck,
and besides melted about teaspoonful
of lard and gum camphor together, and
when cool applied it with rag very
lightly to the hair of the ears, under the
chin, behind the forelegs, and in the
TANKS, and stood him for four hours
where gnats were the worst, and not one
would touch him. The smell of cam
phor lasted on him for hours after the
bag was removed and the pony returned
to the stable. 1t does not take the hair
off nor worry the animal at all. OF
course | should use nothing but pure
lard. The camphor costs about SO cents
a pound. hope you will excuse the
liberty have taken in writing you this,
but as you know something of gnats,
etc, thought would let you know of
my very great success.-MRs. 7. w.

How TO DETECT COUNTERFEIT But
TER.-"Butter dealers are having hard
time of it, said Washington Market
dealer the other day. Everybody thinks
we are trying to palm off counterfeit but
ter on them. l have taken great pains
to show my regular customers how to
tell genuine butter from the fraudulent
article. Counterfeit butter may look
nice and smell sweet when the tub is first
opened, but after it is exposed to the air
for awhile slightly unpleasant smell
can always be detected. If little of it
is rubbed between the fingers it will turn
white, while the genuine butter will not
change color"

Bagassee Paper.

The organization here of a company
to convert bagasse into paper premises
to be The beginning of an imaportant
manufacturing enterprise. 1t haas been
known for years that the bag&sse, or the
refeSe which remains from the sugar
CAKE after the juice has been expressed
frgIn it, would furnish an excellent ma
teTial for paper. While several ex-
Bcriments made with it proved this,
The project has never keen practically
and thoroughly carried out until now
During the past year experiments have
been made by Mr.. Harsng, of this State,
with a patent he possesses, for treating
bagasse, which have eliminated in COM
plete success. The bagasse so treated
was shipped north, and there manufac-
tured successfully into paper, such as is
needed for commercial purposes or suit
able for use in the manufacture of buck
cts, dishes, etc. 1t was further demon.
strated that this could be done at cost
that will yield a large profit, at the same
time that it allowed competition with
the northern paper mills.
This will rank with similar discoye-
ry made here not 50 many years ago
relative to the manufacture of cotton
seed oil. Cotton seed was once pest
and a nuisance to the cotton planters
How to get rid of this bulky, useless
article perpleXed them, and they were
put to the trouble and expense of haul
ing it to the river and dumping it in, just
as our sugar-growers have erected ex-
pensiye chimneys to burn this old cane
fibre. The discovery of the process OF
manufacturing cotton seed oil converted |
what was useless into valuable arta |
Gle, and added to the manufactures of |
New Orleans an industry which, in its |
production, the number of men employ !
ed and the profit is the most important
in the city. This new fibre manufacture
ing company, may thus mark the begin
ming here of valuable and important
industry The material at it's command
is practically inexhaustible and will
mount up in the millions of tons.
Our local columns have already given !
an account OF the meeting OF the Louis
lana Fibre Company and its proposition
to raise working capital OF 100000
and erect first-class pulp and paper
mill, adapted to this new process of ma
king paper from bagasse. Canvassing
will be begun at once to obtain the
amount needed. Once auspiciously UNI
der way, no difficulty will he found in
securing all the funds needed for dozen
bagasse mills.-Tfmes-Dem

RAILROAD TAXATION.
Some Interesting Data Upon This
Important Subject.

Poors Manual of Railroads, ~ published
annually, is accepted everywhere as an au-
thoritatiye work From it we ascertain the
taxes paid by railroad companies in the
various States. There are some difficulties
in the way, for in many cases the reports of
the companies contained in that work in
clude miscellaneous expenses and taxes in
one item, but the item of taxes has been
separated in enough reports to enable one
to ascertain from that book the amount
paid by many railroad companies of the
United States for the year preceding the
publication Of the manual in question
The following is table which shows the
names Of the companies, the total amount
