Florida CaInphor.

1t Is said that Florida is likely soon
30 become an important center for
the production of camphor. Supplies
OF camphor have heretofore come
from China, Japan and Formosa. but
OF the vast camphor forests that. once
existed in those countries but few still
remain. This is the direct result of
the wastetul methods OF obtaining the
gum from the tree.
Canphor is usually Obtained by
boiling the chips of the wood and
roots and bark in great kettles with
water, and coodensing the volatilized
gum on rnshes suspended over the
kettle. In this process the entire
tree is cut down, and even the roots
dug up, but in Florida it has been
found that the gum can be CONNER
cially produced from the leaves and
twigs, II pounds Of which yield one
pound of gum. Hence the bearing
tree need not be disturbed or injured
In any way, as the foliage it bears is
very dense, and may be thinned down
one-half with perfect safety. The
tree, besides bears great amount of
pruning without injury. 1t is an
evergreen, and makes three growths
a year-in April, June and October.
According to III. G. Hubbard, .spe-
cial agent Of the United States de-
pagtment Of agriculture, the Zee re-
moves nothing from the soil, tho gum
being formed entirely from the gass
OF the atmosphere, and hence the
leaves, when deprived of their cam
phor and returned TO the soil, con-
stantly enrich the soil, which, in time
requires no fertilization whichever.

NAMED "SMOKY ORDINARY"
Origin of the Title of n Virginia Town
incident OF the Revolution.


"Smoky Ordinary pretty little Vir-
ginia village, owes its name to an in
cidentof the revolutionary war. In the
early days of this country inns and ho-
tells were known as ordinaries. There
was a good-sized country inn at the
place where Smoky Ordinary now is
established. ..... ...
Near this hotel were two storehouses,
in which were kept enormous stores of
tobacco. While CORVALLIS. the English
lord and general, was marching with
his army through the Virg.ni:S he came
upon this tavern and the toh;. Geo houses
The main army under CorDwaI.iS PASSED
the place unEoticed, but the Ic?H"iE%
corps under Tarieton. immcdia.,.y fci-
lowed. Tarleton set fire to the two
warehouses and left them to burn down.
The tavern was not fired. The store
houses were filled with the partially
dried tobacco, which burned very
slowly. ...., &C.,.
For days it smoked, and the smoth
cred fire soon consumed the store of
tobacco. The smoke from the burning
houses enveloped the tavern with n
thick mantel of smoke. which hung
around for quite awhile. The residents
of the community named the place the
smoky ordinary. a post Office was later
established ~ the tavern. and the name
of Smoky Ordinary was given it. ......
The old tavern still stands there Just
as it did in the days when Lord Corn
wallis marched by it with his soldiers
from England. and the room where
Tarleton's horse foragers tool; refresh
ments is still there. The place was
somewhat remodeled by Gov. Atlsin-
sons father, who converted it into a
residence and schoolhouse. He taught
school there for several years-Kansas
