INDIGO CULTURE.
Towards the close of the seven.
tecnth century Mr.. Lucas, q wealthy
English planter, residing at the time
on Bermuda island, sent to his niece.
Miss Eliza Lucas, Of Georgetown, in
the colony OF South Carolina, a small
quantity of indigo seed, accompanying
his gift with full instructions as to the
cultivation of the plant and the pre-
paration of the seed for use as a dive
and for export. Shortly after Mr..
Lucas sent servant who wes regarded
as an expert in the matter to supervise
the planting of this small indigo farm.
For some reason this person turned re-,

vision the first crop of indigo cultivated
in the colonies of America was grown
and prepared for MARKET much to the
satisfaction of her lordly uncle, who
shortly afterwards left the Bermudas
and established the Lucas family of
South Carolina, representative peo-
pie who TO this day maintain the fond
ness OF their ancestors for agricultural
pursuits.
ut was this spirited young Carolina
lady who introduced the growing of
SILK into the colony. She imported the
white mulberry (monis multicaulIs)
from India, obtained the eggs of the
elk worm from France, and in process
OF time had spun u quality of silk from

White Stone Lithia Springs, as resi-
dent physician do not hesitate to say
that the effect of the water upon those
who drink 1t for any length of time,
has been perfectly marvellous. Invari-
ably an increase both in flesh and ap.
petite was perceptible in one week,
proving 1T to be mineral water of
undoubted powerful tonic property. It's
peculiar adaptability to diseases origi-
mating from disorders of the kidney,
bladder and liver, such as Dropsy,
Bright's disease, Diabetes and uric acid
calculi, and all forms of Dyspepsia,
Rheumatism and Gout, Is to be ex-
pected from the splendid analysis 1t
has been noted frequently that visi-
tors before coming here had to follow
every meal with some form of correc-
tive, or copfine themselves entirely to
predigested foods; soon discard these
entirely, being delighted to find that
the water alone--nature' own remedy
sufficed. OF the many who drank this
water this season for ten day consecu-
lively, not one but experienced decided
benefit and perceptible gain in weight,
varying from two to five pounds.

THE lAU MELOMELO.
How Hawaiian Natives Go After the
Ffnny Tribe.

"Lau melolnelo' is the name Of de-
coy used by the native fishermen Of
Hawaii 1t is made Of the hardest
wood to be found on the islands and is
carved and rubbed till it assumes the
shape Of club with q little knob at
the smaller end, to which the line is
tied.
The club is from one to three feet
long. a village sorcerer performs GER
tain rites over it over sacred fire.
After this is done the club is magic,
and the fisherman must be extremely
careful Of it. If woman should step
over it or enter canoe in which it lies
the club would lose all its power and
would be useless ever .afterward.
After the club has been charmed the
fisherman mixes candlenut and cocoa
nut meat. bakes it and ties the mixture
in q wrapper Of cocoanut fiber.
At the fishing grounds the club IS
covered with the oily juice Of the
stuff and is then lowered carefully to
the bottom. The scent Of the baked
nut meat attracts certain kinds of fish,
which soon gather and begin to nibble
at the club. AS soon rs enough fish are
around the decoy q small bag shaped
net is lowered very gently until its
mouth is just over the club. The latter
is then pulled up carefully and cum
ningly till it is within the bag. The fish
are so eager for the stuff with which
the club is covered that they follow 1t
into the net without fear. AS soon as
all the fish are IN it a fisherman dives
and closes the mouth Of the net, where
upon the rest haul it up quickly

Constant Study Is Necessary to Keep

A passion for growth. i yearning for
q larger life, is characteristic Of al
great souls. \ man is measured by his
power to grow, TO become larger,
broader, nobler The intensity of his
desire to reach out and up defines his
capacity for Development.
Any one, young or old, possessed bT

he lives. Even IN old age be is still
stretching out for larger things, reach
ing up to greater heights.
We often find plants and trees that
are not fully developed, but have
reached the limit of their growth. They
cannot be made to respond to the Woo
ing Of enriched soil or copious water
ing. The power for the extension Of
cell life seems to have der%ted.
There are many human plants of SIN
liar nature. Early in life they settle
into grooves, from which nothing can
displace them. They are dead to enter
prise, to advancement along any line.
New movements. new systems Of busi-
ness, larger conceptions of life and sim
llar things in the living. moving present
do not appeal to them. Immovably
bound to the past. they can step only
just so far this way, only so far that
way. There is no further growth, no
more progress for them. They have
reached their goal.
Employees often think that they are
kept back designedly and that others
less deserving are pushed ahead Of
them, when the real trouble is with
themselves. They have ceased to grow.
They continue to move in circle.
They have not kept pace with the trend
of the times.
"Forwardw is the bugle call of the
twentieth century. The young man or

has ceased to grow is to be pitied. Life
