New Jersey tea, or red root, as it is
also called. Is low growing shrub

three feet high, and is found from
canada to Florida. growing usually in
dry wooded sections. 1t is very abun-

named. 1T blooms profusely in July
and is so snowy. with its many pan

worth a place in the gardens as an

had rejected the terms last night, but
a conference of the sIriAe leaders.

The agreement provides that the

RESTAURANTS.
They Really Had Their Origin In the
First French Revolution.


The restaurant Of the present time
had Its origin I'm the first French revo
luton, toward the close Of the eight
eenth century. And the reputation of
the French for good cookery and the
delicacy OF taste In eating as we'll ~
In producing t0othsome dishes and
morsels dates practically from the
same time.
That revolution meant ruin to many
noble families. and their downfall
meant ruin also for their chefs. So
some or the latter hit upon the idea
or opening houses where dainties pre-
pared by their skilled hands could be
obtained. Ii the experiment succeed
ed the chefs would be as we'll off a.
when In service. The idea was pleas.
Ing to the public. the restaurants did
a large business, and the proprietorS
had no reason to regret the revolution
from a monetary point Of view.
Then 1t occurred to others that the
people might appreciate being educat-
ed up to this fine cookery, and many
books on the culinary art were pub,
lished and sold we'll. One of the mos,
noted OF these was 1.-THE Gourman AL.

\ BIG BUSINESS.
Post Office and Express Office Both
Out of Money Order Blanks.

cut OF Money Order Blanks.
Where does the money go? That
is the question now before the city
OF Sumter. The postohice and the
Express office were both entirely
out of money order blanks Saturday,
which shows that both of those
places have done a big business re-
Gently. for otherwise they would not
have been caught in such fix.
Possibly the money has been sent
To Jacksonville. Fla, or Richmond.
Va. both of which places being very
popular with the users Of the money
order blanks OF these two carriers in
the near past. Possibly the money
has gone elsewhere TO support some
charitable institution or for some
philanthropic purpose but that is
extremely doubtful.
1t is peculiar that these two places
should he out of blanks now
when they have proved So very pop
ular lately,-or perhaps. that very
popularity was the cause that they
should all be used up.
