were they so minded. the could have
gone on to S%heboygan, Wisconsin, to
Bay City, Michigan. to Louisville,
Kentucky and almost to st. Louis.
With only a couple Of breaks in
New York state, it is entirely possible
for one to travel all the way from
New York city to n point nea st,
Louis by trolley car. The fares will
cost about 500, and the hotel bills en-
route will be about $12 extra. The
trip will require about four days and
it is needless to say that the route is
through the most picturesque scenery
in eastern America. From New York
city, the trolley lines extend up the
Hudson valley to Albany and thence
up the Mohawk valley via Schenectady
and Amsterdam. Nearly all the i'm

sive production Of indigo in South
Carolina as early as 1742.
Mrs. Pinkney was the daughter OF
an English army officer, Lieut.. Col
George Lucas who was the Royal gov
ernor Of the West Indian Island OF
Antigua. He took his family to the
province of South Carolina in 1887,
on account Of his wife's health. He
had plantations near the Ashley river
II miles from what was then known
as Charles Town. Having to return
to Antigua, Governor Lucas left the
plantation in charge Of his daughter,
Eliza, then 16 years Of age, and to her
South Carolina was indebted for the
indigo industry. In 1714 Miss Lucas
married Col. Charles Pinkney, and
they made their home at Belmont, five
miles from Charles Town, on the
Cooper River.
Here the young woman. with a view
to exporting to England the indigo
for which it depends upon France
and Germany, began the cultivation
and making Of indigo. In her efforts
she was greatly assisted by the ear
lest Carolina botanist, DR.. Garden,
in whose honor we have today the
"gardenia."
Mrs. Pinkney secured the seed from
the West Indies. cultivated the plants,
cut the leaves in due season, and pro-
duced indigo. She furnished seed to
her neighbors. and in 1747 enough in
digo was made to make it worth
while to export it to England, where a
bounty Of sixpense a pound was offered
by England. lin order to exclude the
French indigo from her markets"
Indigo became the chief highland
staple for more than 80 years, and
just before the Revolution the an
nual export amounted to 1,170,660
pounds. So here is what one woman
did for the infant industries" Of a
new country. The interesting record
shows that indigo has been and can
be again made in this country.
We have no doubt that great i'm
provement has been made over the
brick watts and crude methods en-
ployed by Mrs. Pinkney, but she

Dodgins the Beaten Path-Congress-
man Robert l.. D%oughton Of North
Carolina smiled the other evening when
the conversation at a smoker turned to
reversing the order of things. He said
he was reminded of the case Of Bow
ers, relates The New York Times.
Bowers met a benevolent party on
a railroad train n day, and as the
acquaintance r'pened a bit he began
to spread before the other the history
Of his life.
when l was clerk in a grocery
store" remarked Bowers, among
other things, Il received only 50 a
week, and like many other young
men l fell in with bad companions
and began to gamble. L"
Il see," interrupted the benevolent
party, sadly, you were tempted and
took money which did not belong to
you"
"Oh, no." cheerily responded Bow
ers. I'm less than a month l won
enough money to buy the grocery"

Easy to Spell.-Young Arthur, the
pride Of the family, had been attend
ing school all of six weeks, and his
devoted parent thought it was high
time he should find out how things
were running. So he asked one after
noon:
And what did my little son learn
about this morning."
"Oh, a mouse. Miss Wilcox told
us all about mouses."
That's the boy! Now, how do you
spell mouse?"
1t was her that Arthur gave promise
of being an artful dodger. He paused
meditatively for a moment, then said:

Those Stranded Tourists.-Thc rec

Those Stranded Tourists.-Thc rec
ord of the American tourists strand
ed in Europe last year and brought
home through the help of Uucle Sam
is not flattering. From first to last
they seem to have imposed on Uncle
Sans good nature.
To begin with, they raised Cain be-
cause the government didn't instantly
dispatch n battle feet to round them
up and bring them home when they
were caught in the war zone without
cash. And then, when the government
opened it's treasury and paid their
fare home, about half of them accept
ed the money as a gift, in spite of an
explicit understanding that it was
merely n loan.
Such. at least is the logical gist of
n report published by the state de-
partment. OF half a million dollars
appropriated by congress and advance
ed to tourists, only about $4,000
had been repaid at the end of June.
There is no disposition to press those
who really desire to pay. But as for
the others, the encouragement
threatens to enter suit and publish
their names if they persist in ignoring
the Observation-Disclosures Chronicle.

You see caricatures in the journals
very often of women running off to
clubs and the dansants, while their
homes go to wreck and ruin for want
of a little attention. These caricatures
may deal realistically with a certain
phase Of domestic life, they may be
true about a particular kind Of wo-
man. But the woman who neglects
her homework for clubs, ETC., is not
to be found in any greater numbers
than the woman who takes her
housekeeping too seriously. And it Is
a toss-up which is the worse of the
two. How many women there are

Some Health Hints.

/ Mustard Is the nearest approach to
a universal cure-all. Few pains will
not give way before a mustard plaster,
and a wide range Of internal inflama-
tons. from colds and other causes,
may be stopped by its timely applica-
ton. 1t Is the first and the best resort
in threatened pneumonia, congestion
Of the lungs or determined colds on the
chest.
Hot milk, heated to as high tempera-
ture as it can be drunk, is a most re-
freshing stimulant in cases Of cold or
over fatigue. It's action is very quick
and grateful. 1t gives real strength,
as we'll as acting as a flip.
Toothache can be relieved by bathing
the gum and cavity in vinegar as
hot as car be borne.

be improved by a few drops Of onion
juice, but not enough to give a strong
