| wish to write about more Of the
old men of Clarendon and Williams
burg counties and also of those of
Sumter. There are not many people
living now who knew old Uncle"
John Harrington, who lived in what
is called "The Corner" where Black
river and Pocotaligo fork. Pocotal-
igo turns to the left up through the
western part of Clarendon and Sum-
ter counties and Black river turns to
northeast, making a deep elbow
called The Corner" once a fine
place for deer and wild turkeys. Un-
Gle John and his wife, Aunt Sally,
lived there and in their yard stood a
giant water-oak. One summer night
not long after Uncle John and Aunt
Sally were married an owl lit in the
oak with his hoo-hoo-hoo. Uncle
John said: "Sallie, you understand
what the owl said?" No. John. -
Young gal sweet like shoe goo. 4"
Uncle John wore no socks and the
coldest nights slept with bare feet
uncovered and often through the
night he could be heard rubbing his
feet together. He was kind-heart-
ed man; in conversation a common
word with him was by blood" He
had several sons: Zack, Ned and
John. Once he had a dispute with
John which made him very angry
and, with the words, by blood ne

his ribs. He was powerful man.

it their rule to 60 fishing every Mon

it was common to pass under tree

that the old lady made her son prom
ise not to marry until after her
death; which occurred some time ago.
He was literally besieged by love
letters from all over the country,
and even from across the water.

Waldorf-Astoria, and is about forty

advise any one travelling to pre-
pare for tips. We were besieged with
walters, bell boys and stewards,as we
were nearing our journeys end and
we find that that has always to be
reckoned with in calculating our ex-
penses. We were sea-sick nearly all
the time, and scarcely ever went
to the table. yet the men who stood
behind our empty chairs were quite
persistent about their tips. Fruit
wrs the only thing we could eat, es-
pecially oranges.
On the trip we passed light ship
which is stationed at that spot in the
ocean. 1t did seem so lonely all by
itself, but it is necessary for the
safety of vessels passing that way.
Those who live on this Government
light ship are relieved, we are told,
at the end of six months by another
family. Sometimes we passed a buoy,
which is placed to warn the passing
vessels. The bells in them, rung by
the motion of the waves, sounded so
sweet and wierd.
One of the officers on board talked
very Interestingly to us about every
thing relating to the sea; he told US
that not one person in hundred, in
case of a panic, would know how to
strap on a life preserver, of which
every room has two, but the main
dependence is the life boats, which
cannot sink in the toughest waves.
In case the person understands the
life preserver,it will hold you up un-
less a shark gets hold of you, of
which there are always great many
following a ship, especially if there is
a dead body on board. The fog-horn
blew nearly the whole night, and we
were told that fog causes a great
many disasters at sea. Sometimes 1t
is so dense that vessels crush into
one another without knowing there
is another vessel near.

ing-house and took US over an hour
to get there, flying along on the ele-
waited express. 1t seemed so strange
to see people in the top part of the
houses, some, just eating breakfast,
some, dentists working on their pa
tents teeth, and all kinds of en-
ployments going on. AS soon as we
reached the Bronx we went to see
the flowers; from there we went to
look at the animals. The monkeys,
of which there is great variety,
were very interesting. They look at
you so cunningly and make so many
funny gestures. The animals cages
are kept as near like their native
haunts as possible. The lions have
great holes in the rocks in which
they can come in and out. The white
polar bears have the floors of their
cages Of ice, and the snakes from
Africa and India have their places
artifcially heated. We were told that
animals are boarded in the Bronx by
different circuses during the winter.
When we got through taking IN
most sights of interest. we were
glad to get back to our boarding
place, as we were thoroughly tired
and glad to rest.
John Wanamaker, Macy and Sic
gel-Cooper are among the largest
department stores. Wanamaker en-
ploys fifteen hundred clerks, so you
may form some idea of what large
establishment he has. When you get
tired walking about, just go into the
beautiful parlors. take q seat at one
of the desks and write. on their sta
tionery to your friends. We went
into Tiffany's grand jewelry store
and looked at the Tiffany diamond,
which they keep to exhibit. The Hip
podrome is said to be the largest
place of it's kind in the world; it is
between a circus and theatre, and
has seating capacity of five thou
sand. The day we were there it was
crowded.
One thing that pleased US in New
York was the humane manner in
which their animals are treated, es-
pecially the horses.
We were anxiovs to walk over
Brooklyn bridge, but were advised
not to do so at that time, as there
was a strike among the employees
and it may not have been safe, there
being a good deal of fighting among
them. We would have liked to visit
the City of Churches" made ia
nous by Henry Ward Beecher, but
it took up all Of our two months to
see New York city ,and the other will
have to be deferred till next time.

to fall asleep by some continuous, monotonous excitation, prolonged use of the sense of light. as, for instance, by the fixation of some brilliant object. or of the sense of hearing by means of the ticking of a pendulum.
 When the doctor has succeeded in making the patient fall asleep he en- deavors to cause him to sleep as long as possible. This is a difficult matter in cities where noises are too intense and too varied. They do not cease even during the night. and un- ceasingly they recall to the nervous patient his business. his occupations and social obligations.
 The physical and moral overstrains which are the inevitable consequences of our intense civilization must b. enumerated by sleep. which while repairing the nervous waste will also strengthen and temper the nervous energy.
 For this purpose scientific methods are being devised and applied in the establishment of homes for treatment by means of d sleep "cure" remote from towns. Dr Felix Regnault in an excellent article on this subject. from which the information here giv- en is extracted, speaks in the highest terms of a sanitarium founded for this purpose by Doctor Lemesle of Loches.-European Edition of the New York Herald.
