HISTORIC Atmosphere.
Motive L. the Ground Color for His
tOrlcal Pictures,

Motive Is the Ground Color for His
torical Pictures.
Unless an author can maintain. with
out deviation, from the first to the last
pages of his book, the language of the
period of which he writes, his work
will be better, his pages will be more
easily read; and whatever true atmos-
phere he may be able to create in other
ways will be more convincing if he
writes in the language of his own
times. No books have a stronger fla
vor of their own period than the OAR
tagnan romances, we'll translated into
modern English. 1t were as well for
an English author to attempt to give
German atmosphere to a story of Ger
man life by writing it in broken Eng
fish, as to attempt to give old-time fla
vor to an old-time tale by writing in
tongue composed of both the old and
the new. If am right in my conclu-
s1ons, atmosphere may be impaired by
facts and language, subject to the con-
ditions above stated. These two meth
DDS, although generally attempted,
more frequently fail than succeed.
Novels wherein old-time phrases and
historical facts only are relied upon to
give old-time color are accepted with
out question, perhaps, by those who do
not know the period of which the nov
els treat, or do not care to analyze the
question. But to an inquiring mind,
knowing the period, such a novel as to
its atmosphere is usually as disap-
pointing as wet gunpowder. 1t is from
the setting of the story and from the
acts, motives, and methods Of thought
of the characters that true atmosphere
may be impaired. What the charac-
tiers are made to feel, do, AID say give
real atmosphere. What they say is the
important matter; not how they say it.
Motive is the ground color for all his
torical pictures. There is no period in
| history Of which we have complete
view. At best we can only catch
glimpses Of the environment of men
and women who have preceded us. and
who have faded into the dim, hazy
light of the past. We have but frag-
mentary pictures, that come to us in
sections, like the picture blocks Of a
child. with many parts missing. Those
parts which we lack we try to fill in as
best we can, guiding our hands, as we
draw, by the parts we have. Charles

MED1C INE in PLA N rs.
sciENTisTss PLAN Il EXHAUSTIVE
EXPERIMENTS.
Tests Already Made Show u u Pos
sIblc to slmpregnate Growing yege-
tables; With Substances of Value TO \
the Human System.

1t is a common observation that the
quantity. Of any characteristic element
Of plant varies with Its richness in
the soil. This is, of course, q cor
relative Of the well known beneficial
action Of fertilizers in increasing plant
growth. It Is now proposed, however,
to attempt the. cultivation Of medi-:
Gated plants that. Is, common vege-
tables containing abnormal quantities.
of substances it is desired to admin.
lister. g
It is evident to every one at all &C
quainted with the laws of physiology
that the assimilation Of mineral ele-
ments, by; the body is much more read
lily accomplished when these are par:
taken in the form Of food in vege.
tables. In the past, If the body has
needed an excess of iron, it has been
supplied by iron tinctures taken
through glass tube after meals.
The modern idea is to supply this
want by certain vegetables, such as
spinach. Experiments looking to the
demonstration of this scheme have
been undertaken recently in Europe.
Ferruginous plants were grown in soil
enriched by the addition Of hydrate
Of iron, and upon analysis twas found
that plants grown in such soil con.
tanned much larger percentage of
iron than similar plants grown In nat.
ural soil. IT
Of course, it is not to be supposed
chat this increase in the percentage
can be increased indefinitely, but it
can be carried to maximum point
which is very much greater than the
average. This same demonstration
has also been carried out in connec.
ton with tea cultivation. Samples Of
tea leaves from several plantations
having similar climate and altitude
conditions, but different soils, were
gathered, and, after drying, were an
alyzed in the laboratory for their con-
tent Of iron, nitrogen, phosphoric acid,
silicic acid. caffein and ash.
The various soils in which the sew.
eral plants yielding the sample leaves
had been grown were also analysed
fer similar elements, and it was found
that the chemical composition of the
soil, especially the quantities of those
substances taken by the plant, has an
influence. clearly demonstrate by
chemical analysis, on the composition
Of tea leaves produced on such soil.
A very interesting vista opens up
to the prophetic eye in giving free
rein to the imagination on this fasci.
mating subject. Will the doctor of the
future, instead of ordering a nauseous
dose from the druggist, prescribe
course of medicinal vegetables, fur.

Certified milk, which, with it's guaran-

gar and solids, might have seemed
an improbable commercial article fifty
years ago; and if so, why not "certi.

TURNING WHITE.
Strange Affection of Newberry Coun-
ty Negro.

Gist Gillian, a colored man who
works on the farm OF Mr.. H. L. Parr,
about two miles from Jalapa, in this
county, is turning white. That is to
say, large areas of the skin are chang
ing from decided black to whitish
shade much resembling the ordinary
color of the caucasian cuticle.
Gillian is a well-formed negro
about thirty years old, and who seems
to be in a healthy condition. He says
that the, spots were first apparent
some five or six years ago and that
they have increased in size ever since,
until now they cover large portion
of his face, hands, arms and chest.
The spots are still increasing.
Gillian has no desire to become a
white man and has consulted pEysl-
clans several times concerning the
remarkable change.
There are some colored people OF
his community who think that the
negro is really turning into white
man, and still others hold to the be-
lief that he is afflicted with the lep-
rosy spoken of in the scriptures. The
change in color is really due to an
extremely rare affection of the skin,
known to medical science as vitllago.
Very few cases are on record, and
the one in this county is perhaps as
perfect and highly developed an ex-
ample as America has ever produced.
The disease is somewhat Of the same
nature as albinism, which preterna-
turally whitens the skin, eyes, hair
and entire body, but there is some dlf-
ference. The symptoms of the dis
ease known as vitiligo manifest
themselves in a somewhat different
manner. Oval or irregular milkish
or whitish spots show themselves
on the skin at various points and then
continue to increase for years, some
times covering the greater part of
the body.
The case in this county is remark
able because OF the extreme rarity OF
the affection and also because it is
further developed than most cases.

Master Douglas Honsby's seventh
anniversary. on Tuesday, Sept. 9th,
VAS a most happy &C casion Tor many
wee souls.
After an outdoor game or two, the
children's atten::rn was attracted to
a huge dragon" which had entered

sharp, pointed daggers, boldly attack
ed the huge monster. Master Gus
Houseal, venturing too far, came
near being swallowed within the gi-
gantic jaws. His timely escape was
rewarded with box of French bon
bons, while from Master Herman
Landlords neck was suspended "une
tasse retain," he having evaded en-
tirely the wiles of the Snap Dragon.
Finally the many goodies of the fes-
tive-board put a happy quietus over
the young minds, where they gather
ed around enjoying the birthday cake,
with it's seven torches of golden
light and with good will and equal
ly good appetites showed hearty ap-
probation for what the Gods had pro-
vided until twilight beckoned them
to their own homes.
