DYES From Ilchen.

The use of llchens as sources of dye
IS of long standing. The famous blue
and purple dyes of the East, so fire.
quently mentioned in history. were in
all probability extracted from the Roc
celia hchen, which has In recent times
been extensively used in France for
the gorgeous celebration of silks. Lichen
dyes are secured by pulverizing the
plant body, termed the thallus, and APP
plying alkali to extract the coloring
matter. One lichen dye, litmus, finds
wide application In the science Of
chemistry.

HISTORIC T0LLGATE IS GONE
Emo Of Landmark In the Shenandoah
Valley Recalls an Interesting
Civil War Story.

The razing Of the Hillman tollgate
house takes away historic landmark
In the lower Shenandoah valley. 1t
was constructed In 1910. before there
were railroads In this section, and 1t
was a part of the thoroughfare from
Tennessee to Alexandria. Va. and
often 20 to 80 wagons could be seen
In line making the trip to and from
the boats at Alexandria.
The first toll was collected at gate
No. by Simeon HIllman, and he con-
tinued to collect toll until his death
In 1850. From 1890 to 1862 the gate
was kept By his widow, Charlotte Hill
man, when, on account Of war condl-
lions, the gate was abandoned until
1865. The house was struck by a
shell Just before the Battle Of Kerns-
town.
IL was at this gate that Charlotte
Hillman held up General Sheridan and
his staff. The general paid the regular
toll for himself and his staff followed
his example.
But" said the general as he passed
through, 81 cannot vouch for my
army
When the soldiers came up Mrs. Hill
man raised the pole but stood at her
post all day long and kept tally and
after the war she sent the bill TO
Washington and it was promptly paid.
General Sheridan passed through
this gate again on his famous ride from
Winchester. Gen. Stonewall Jackson,
In his valley campaign, frequently
passed through II. ALWAYS paving toll.

Human beings have endured uncon-
ceivable miseries and grown strong
even as they suffered. And they have
not only endured all things but hoped
all things. No sadness when 1t came
has been able to daunt the spirit
which, looking beyond the present
grief, has detected behind whatever
barrier Of blacklist cloud the clear
shining of the sun or the benson of
the stars of night.-Richard Burton
