That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested

The Lion In the Junole,

Frederick Selous, the African pio-
neer, says in one of his books that reg
ular habits and high living agree with
lions and other brutes and that those
exhibited in menageries are much
handsomer than those the hunter
meets in the jungle. Then their hab-
its are not so creditable as people i'll
civilized countries suppose. They will
be shocked to learn that the lion
feeds on meat in the most advanced
stage of decomposition pacause he is
too lazy to hunt for fresh meat. They
have taken it for granted that the
king of the forest carries high head
rs he sweeps along over the plain, but
Selous says he trots along with his
head behind his shoulders like any
common cur.

WORKS FOR HER TOWN.
Girl Plans to Make Columbia Most
Beautiful Southern City.

Beautiful southern City.
One of the enterprising women of
the south is Miss Belle Williams Of
Columbia, s. c., who has devoted her
fine energies during the past three
years to the difficult task of arousing
public interest in the identifying of
her home town.
Columbia is a growing manufacture
ing town, the center of large cotton
manufacturing interests. The Olympia,
said to be the most extensive cotton
mill in the world. is located here. 1t
employs thousands of people, and Co.
lumbla is filling up rapidly with an in
dustrial community whose attention is
not easy TO gain for anything of the
aesthetic order
Miss Williams has succeeded in stir.
ring up popular interest in more
beautiful city through original and eff
fective methods, says the Memphis
Commercial Appeal. First she got the
people together and organized -four
lshing civic improvement league. This
league was Immediately instrumental
in the drafting, Introduction and pas
sage of an ordinance creating the tree
and park commission of Columbia.
They at once assumed the care Of the
beautiful old trees which are Column
bias chief natural beauty. Then
flower seeds were distributed and
prizes offered for the best results. A
medal and two prizes were offered an
nually for the three best compositions
by public school children on some civic
improvement subject. This was fol-
lowed up by illustrated talks.
The latest effort of the league, led by
Miss Williams, has been the procuring
and publication of a comprehensive
plan for the improvement of the city
along scientific lines. A group of ex-
pert landscape artists were brought to
Columbia, and the results of their ex-
haustive study are presented in per-
manent form, illustrated with maps
and drawings of the proposed improve
ments, which are immensely valuable to
other cities having the same problem
to meet
The plan as outlined shows plainly
that under Miss Williams initiative
the state of South Carolina will boast
a beautiful capital before another dec
ade has passed.
