WHERE NATIVES EAT CLAY.

|, In the Carolinas and Eastern Ten
ressee there are beds of pure white
clay, as white as flour, and it is this
sort of clay that is utilized for chew
ing. Tie clay is in small deposits
throughout all South Carolina, but
only the deposits in the neighborhood
of Aiken and Langley are sufficient in
extent, depth and quality TO be COM
mercially valuable. These beds lie
anywhere from 10 to 80 feet under
the surface and are worked by side
cuts.
The earth is first. removed from
above over as large a surface as is
desired. and then the wall of clay
is attacked from the side, an en-
trance having been cut from some ad-
jacent valley, so that the mining Is
really done is an open cut. Mines
that have been worked for years are
finally nothing but huge white holes
or excavations. The clay is cut out
by men with picks, and as the pieces
fall other men with knives trim them
off. cutting out the iron stain.
They are then loaded on cars and
nauled to a drying shed. Natives
often eat the clay, sometimes chew
ing up a piece larger than black
walnut. Physicians CAIN the clay is
very unhealthful, but the clay-eaters
refuse to give up their tidbits.
The clay is quite soft in texture
and without grit. When !; is dried
out and powdered 1t looks very much
like tooth powder. The beds are 10
Gated by means of boring with a
giant anger. Some OF the clay Is
used. mixed with other material, IN
the making of melting pots by max
ers of high-tempered steel imple
ments. but the bulk OF It goes iato
the manufacture OF paper.

Ridins As An Exercise for Women

rein suddenly may cause her hfse to

if she perks him up suddenly. She
cannot afford to be capricious or mean
ingless with her reins, for a horse
soon learns when she has no power.
The riding posture has been de-
bated question for some years, with
arguments for and against cross
saddle and side-saddle riding. Many
riding-school instructors favor the
cross-saddle, and others will have
nothing but the side-saddle. Some
women riding teachers claim the wo-
mans figure is not made for the
cross-saddle and contend that the
side-saddle insures a stronger seat.
especially in all cases OF pitching for
ward when on a stumbling or kicking
horse, or when landing after a jump.
With safety skirts and safety stirrups
the danger from dragging is obviated.
The appearance is unquestionably
better in the side-saddle; very few
womn look well when riding astride.
In the mountainous West, on long
trails, there are advantages in the
cross-saddle. These saddles are diff
ferent in construction from those in
the East. They are Mexican style,
with wooden stirrups. high horn in
front and very high cantle, forming
practically a dished-out seat, and are
satisfactorily on those trotting, looping
horses. The porper construction OF
the side saddle depends largely upon
the third pommel This should set
straight out from the saddle and come
cut over the left knee, with the end
we'll curved down. This renders the
position so firm that it is almost i'm
POSSIBLE to become unseated.
The simplest possible costumes are
the smartest and they represent ex-
cellent results in the tailor's art. Many
women, especially those who are just
learning to ride, exaggerate the styles.
This should not be done; the more
simple the style the better the ap-
pearance.

"A exercises for women. In late
years il has been adopted
more frequently in the cities, after a
decade when it was almost forgotten.
Those who have never been in sad
die are learning from experts and rid
ing masters. In many OF the Eastern
cities riding has become part OF the
education of a child. 1t is regarded
as the very best exercise for the pro
motion of health to those who kno"
the exhilaration of travelling over
good road on perfect mount. In iact
there is no substitute for riding as
healthful out-Ofdoor sport.
The first difficulties of learning 10
ride overcome, its good effects soon
become noticeable, not only IN I'M
proyed circulation and appetite, but IN
the selfcontrol and decision it teach'
Is. Quite as necessary as the proper
use of hand and legs are the mental
requirements necessary for the max
ing of a hOrsewoman. She learns 10
control by mind as well as by grace
which few other accomplishments can
give.
Al 16e age of seven or eight Is the
best time 10 begin taking lessons IN
riding, for when younger a little glris
dogs are too short and il Is difhcuit
for her to keep her balance. Balance
is one of the great points in riding
On the other hand, since 1t is conced'
ed that a child's training is best begun
before the mind and body reached
their full develoment the importance
of embracing the art OF horsewoman-
shin in the elementary education can
not be too strongly advocated ana
Of whatever age the beginner APP
proaches the subject the endeavor oi

Dosed TO recognize rules.
Children take naturally to the sport
and are more easily taught but age [,
is really no impeachment in learning toi
ride. Women of fifty and sixty go 10
California and other parts OF the coun-
try. where the only way to view the
bpauties of the scenery is from the
hack of a horse, and they become USED
in a short time to the invigoration OF
riding.
Good instructors go very SLOWLY
with a beginner who exhibits nervous
Aess or signs of fear. She is started
in a walk. after her stirrups have
been adjusted TO the proper length
giving her the correct position OF the
limbs and she has been told to SIT
squarely on the top of her saddle. with
the shoulders level and the hips well /,
in line. The snaffle rein is passed
back of the hand and held outside the
little fingers, so that they run up
through the palms, and the reins
should then be pressed by the thumos
against the first fingers.
II is not well for beginner 10

should feel the saddle properly, ana
one teacher suggests that good way
to obtain balance is to count one

ing. but to the horses step. This IS
done in a trotting gait until the pupil
has complete control of her balance.
She should not in posting either pull
herself up by the reins or push up !

N0RTH-END S. S. BUILDING
Dedicatory Services Held Sunday
Afternoon.

The new building Of the North End

Gated Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock.
with appropriate exercises. The build
ing was filled to its capacity and the
service was of great interest. The su-
perintendent of the school, Mr.. W..
Mayo Smith, presided and the music
was directed by Mr.. Sam Woodbridge
Miss Dabney sang most effectively as
a solo, "In the Secret of His Pres
ence." The Rev. r. A. Williams read
the Scripture lesson, taking for that
purpose the prayer of King Solomon at
the dedication of the temple. Rev. X.
J. McBryde, d. d., made most time
w and effective short address, express
ing the interest of the Christian people
of the town in the work and speaking
Of the splendid opportunity afforded for
service. The dedicatory prayer was
offered by the pastor, Rev. }. II. Hen
derlite. Prof. w. w. Rankin, made
a statement as chairman of the build
ing committee. The building would
cost when entirely finished and furnish
ed for use about $l200 OF this amount
SlO50 had been collected in cash. He
expressed thanks to all those who had
assisted in the work. The keys were
then turned over by him to the guar
dian of the building, Mr.. Woodson Sui
livan, in the name of the board of trus-
tees. The benediction was pronounced
BY Rev. J. r. Rosebro.
This new chapel is a distinct addition
to the material equipment of the
churches of the town. Ii is a splendid
piece of work, well built and attrac-
tive, and has been designed with espe-
cal appropriateness TO its use for Sun
day school work. Considering the cost.
it is uncommonly convenient and well
adapted to that work. 1t will seat
about two hundred and has a gallery
running the full length for the use OF
classes. The primary room can be cut
off by folding doors during recitation.
The pulpit stand commands a full view
of every part of the building. The con-
tractors, Messrs. Lewis Bros, were
commended by the chairman of the
building committee for their moderate
terms and the skill and dispatch with
which they had discharged the con-
tract. 1t is just seven months since
this school was organized, and the
workers are to be heartily congratu-
lated on their great success.

In sad, but loving remembrance of oul
dear mother, who departed this life
April 18th, 1910. Gone but not forgot
ten.
A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love has given,
And though the body slumbers here
The soul is safe in heaven.
Dearest mother, thou has left us
And our loss we deeply feel,
But it's God that has bereft US,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled,
When in heaven in joy TO greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
We miss the from our home, dear
mother,
We miss the from thy place;
A shadow over our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hands,
Thy fond and earnest care,
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.

A compared with other Southern
States this is a good showing; but we
are far behind the States Of other sec.
tions. A child In order to make salts
