The Pitch Pine Industry.
["M. Quad's" Georgia Letter. }


That curious industry-the extract
ing of oil and turpentine from pine by
distil1ation-is represented in Augusta
Five cords of fat pine are used in the
kiln or oven at single charge. This
charge is smothered, the same as if in
tended for charcoal. The first result is
quality of turpentine as clear as crys-
tai. The second is turpentine oil, pure
and unadulterated. The third is a
liquid resembling tar, but much thinner
and having a pleasant odor. Three OF
four drops of this on bit of sugar will
cure an ordinary sore throat in an hour,
and instantly relieve hoarseness OF
tickling in the throat It is largely
used south for both man and beast, and
most people regard it as sure cure fol
everything except broken neck. The
fourth result is mixture largely used
by gravel-roofers, and to some extent
by painters. 1t is not only waterproof
but great preservative. The fifth an6
last result is a mass of the c1eanest an6
purest charcoal which can be produced
in any known manner. The cost o
operating these works is very slight
while there is steadily increasing de
mand for the products at fair profit.

A Turtle of NOTE.

A correspondent writing from Nor
wich, N. Y, says: "In the summer of
1910 A. r. Warner, of Guilford, while
walking through meadow in Unav,lle
valley, came across a large turtle. The
shell of the turtle showed the marks
where initials and date had been cut in
it, but the initials OF one person only
and the date on which they had been
carved could be made out-E. r. j.,
1886. NJ Warner cut A. r. W., 1910,
in the shell and released the turtle. In
1880 the turtle was discovered in the
>saae locality by some boys. The e.
* " 1885, and "A. K. W., 1910,
were still very distinct. In addition
were II. J. H, 1S70,' 'E. B., 1875 and
IS. D. A, 1882 The turtle was again
turned loose. A few days ago it was
found again in the field where it was
seen in 1910 by Mr.. Warner. No addi-
tional carvings were on the shell. The
turtle is no larger than it was fol ty
years ago, showing that it must have
been full grown at that time"

Charles Reads as a Work er.
New York Tribune.1


Charles Reade was very methodical
worker, and neglected no helps. It was
his habit to form scrap books contain
ing whatever strange, new or startling
events or stories appeared in the daily
press, and of these books, which he
called his brains" he had accumu-
lated formidable number. Believing
as he did that an author is entitled to
appropriate matter wherever he finds
it, provided that he adapts it, it is not
remarkable that he should several times
have been charged with plagiarism, nor
that in some of these instances his de-
fense should have been rather adroit
than satisfactory.
He possessed fertility of invention
which made him independent of ex-
traneous assistance, however, and his
original work will bear comparison
with the strongest in English fiction
either past or present. He has been
charged with inordinate vanity. The
truth doubtless is that he was aware oil
his own ability, and did not hypocritic-
ally depreciate it. That he posses sad
a most sterling character is certain. He
was ever ready to defend the oppressed,
careless of the odds, and with fire and
energy which nothing could restrain
His hand was always open to pitiful
| tale, and the many authentic stories ol
his benevolence show him to have had
| knightly and tender heart.

"Yeur Home Treatment was duly re-

will see by reference to my former letter
that she had very bad train of symp-

A Land OF CrippIes.
[Crofut's Letter.


/ have never elsewhere met so many
cripples of all sorts as one sees in
Mexico; lame and with gnarled arms;
blind or of imperfect vision. But the
Able Clavigero, one of the carly
priests, said of the Aztecs: "There is
scarcely nation on earth where there
are fewer deformed persons; it would
be more difficult to find single hump
5ack, lame or squint-eyed man among
1000 Mexicans, than among 100 of any
other people" Indeed cripples were
so rare that Montezuma set up a
museum of the few in the country as an
exhibition, and the number was 80
small that some parents mutilatsd their
children's comely proportions SO that
they might be eligible, and thus sup
port their parents in luxury. Alas the
diseases of the Spaniards. spreading
from generation to generation, have
made cripples no longer marvel, and
some of the beggars that crouch along
the cathedrals to-day have almost lost
all semblance of the human form.

Washington Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.l
While was in Washington I went
through portion of the executive man
sion which have not seen for the past
two or three years. It has been re-
furnished according to the prevailing
style by Tiffany and other imitators of
what is going on in Europe. The east
room is now kind of silver and gold
room, and it has only two portraits in
it-Gen. Washington, by Stewart, and
Mrs. Washington. by Andrews. In the
long corridor, which connects the east
room with the staircase and bsects the
lower floor, looked at the portraits of
the presidents, and it seemed to me
that the best of them was that Of Gar
field. The artist has made the light
shine on his forehead so as to bring out
his intellectual nature strongly and
also to give kind of tender halo to his
eye expressive of that almost feminine
sensihility he had.
A number of women were going
through the apartments with the man.
servant, and I was struck with the
want of refinement and delicacy
among these, and it seemed to me that
the older the women were the more
crotchety and disagreeable were their
remarks. There was one old woman
who seemed to think that the White
House and its treasures were designed
to illustrate her private biography.
She would look up to the portrait OF
Hayes and say: "Who is that?'
President Hayes replied the custo-
dian. q : never seen him. Who
is this man?" "That is President

The Grave Of WashingtOn's Mother.
IMCn .tiS, in Infer Ocaan !

Gen. Casey has just returned from
Westmoreland county, Virginia, where !
he went to make the necessary arrange
ments for the monument to be erected
at the birthplace of Washington, and
Congressman Wise, of Virginia, now
proposes to secure an appropriation
from congress to erect a memorial
tablet upon the grave of Washington's
mother, which is now in lamentable
state of neglect and decay, The grave,
which is in on old cemetery few miles
below Fredericksburg is covered with
a pedestal which was placed there
by a New York gentleman thirty
or forty years ago. He intended to
complete the monument, but lost all
his money before it was finished. There
now lies at the foot of the pedestal,
hidden by rank weeds, a shaft of un-
dressed marble, with simple marks
where the work was stopped. The
grave is surrounded by wire fence,
but that is all the attention that ever
was paid to it. [ think the state of
Virginia ought to have patriotism
enough to put this sacred place in
order; but as it has not, congress can

historical spot and honor noble wo-
mans memory.
I met an old gentleman from Freder-
icksburg the other day, and asked him if
there ere any people residing there
whose memories went back far enough
to recall the Washingtons. He said
there were plenty of remin SCIENCES in
the neighborhood, but they had been
handed down from past generations,
for the oldest inhabitant was not born
when the family had gone to their
graves. Washington's father, he said,
was not given very high character in
the local legendary lore, for he never
amounted to great deal, and died
| young, leaving his wife a heavily mort
gagged farm and large family of chill
dren. Mary Washington, or Mother
Washington" as they all call her, was
woman of noble characteristics, and
her memory was very much revered.
After her husbands death she lived in
little house on the outskirts of the
town, which is now occupied by the viii
lage matchmaker, but is in the last
stages of decay. Here she died. and
the room in which she breathed her
last is still shown to the few visitors
who come that way.

the siege. What" said I, would you
burn Paris?" With hand thrown
wildly in the air, he replied; Monsieur,
we built Paris; we will burn Paris"
The French, only after Paris W in
ashes, saw their error. Gambetta had
outgrown his Pelleville and left its
fierce spirit OF strife, its hatred of the
rich, its misery, hunger, madness, be-
hind him. But Belleville remained the
same, bided its time, and burned Paris.
And yet this Belleville Was compare

But in New York the whole populace
and packed lower half of the island is
given up to poverty, to toll, tenement
houses, to misery and crime, as was
that one little place in Paris. There
are million of the poor, the miserable,
set apart 10y themselves in the lower
part of the island. There are thou
sand of the rich, the luxurious and
happy on the other end This unfortu-
nate division will some day be fatal
"The people, the poor and the rich, "
said Gambetta, Should dwell together
and learn to respect and love each

He said this after the most terrible
lesson that fire and blood ever taught.
| But it is q lesson which is being en-
tireIy lost on Americans. Of course
there are many rich people and many
noble, peace-loying people in the lower
end of New York; and there are few
laborers at the upper end. But the
mixture is slight And any one who
studied even so small and peaceful q
thing as the freight-handlers' strike
last year, can clearly read between
tie lines much that I have not space to
set down.
Unless the rich and the poor melt

respect each other more, there must be
tremendous trouble in that city soon,
whose rich despise the poor and the
poor in return bitterly hate the rich.

Evcryb0dy's Nose One-Sided.
tROctnp n oha

A very singular fact has been OBJ
served with regard not so much to the
shape of the nose as to the setting o.
it in the face, so to speak. To be
strictly correct, from the artists point
of view, the nose should be accurately
in the middle of the face, and at right
angles with line from the pupil of one
eye to that of the other. As matter
of fact it is rarely or never found thus
placed. 1t is almost invariably little
out of "the square" and the fact of its
being so is often that which lends O
peculiar expression and piquancy to the
face. A medical writer points ont that
there are anatomical reasons why 6
slight deviation from the true centra
line may be expected, and that the nose
which is thus accurately straight be
tween the two eyes may be considered
an abnormal one. and that the only alb
solute correct organ is that which de.
viates little to the right or left.
