Domiciled Upon Lands That Scarcely Ap
pear Above Tide-Water and Are
Swept by the Fury of the
Elements.
Along the southeastern Atlantic
coast, from Savannah to Charleston,
and from Charleston north to George
town, the shore line is very irregular,
perhaps more so than elsewhere on the
Atlantic seaboard. Savannah, Beau
fort and Charleston, while seaport cit
ies with their large shipping interests,
are, in a sense, inland towns. They
are reachedthrough rivers, sounds and
bays, and the open ocean is seen only
by glimpses, if at all. These rivers
and sounds cut the South Carolina
coast into points, peninsulas and is
lands varying in size, outline, and
sometimes in general character or for
mation. If one looks at the coast
chart, says Harper’s Weekly, he will
wonder how the pilots ex 7 er learn the
channels, and how. having once mapped
them, it is possible to folloxv the
changes all the time in progress. The
mainland runs into the sea like the fin
gers on one s hand, and the sea in its
turn crosses the fingers and penetrates
them like the veins. The water is
often fresh or salt, according to the ebb
or the floxx 7 of the tide, and the rivers
have two currents, one towards the
ocean and the other from it.
There are some ninety of tlic.se is
lands, as they arc recognized, but tlicir
number is doubled by heavy rains.
These islands are wooded with pines
and oaks, and the sandy soil produces,
when fertilized and attentively culti
vated, abundant crops of cotton, rice,
corn, watermelons and a variety of
vegetables. An industry which has
become profitable during the past few
years is taking from the rich beds both
on the land and in the rivers their
stores of phosphate rock. This busi
ness gives employment to thousands,
as in the immediate vicinity of Beau
fort one hundred and sixty thousand
tons of this rock are taken out and
washed preparatory to treatment ex'ery
year. The rice plantations claim much
"of the tillable soil, and their product
may be called one of the two leading
staples. The other is cotton—not the
common upland kind of Georgia and
Mississippi, but the more sought-for
Sea island cotton. During the season
of 1891-2 the crop of the islands was
eleven thousand live hundred niul one
bales. The past season yielded but
about twenty-one hundred bales, show
ing the loss sustained in this one crop
on aecout of the storm. These products
are mentioned to show that the Sea
islanders in fair times are able to sup
port themselves.
The population of those islands is
forty thousand or more, depending
somexvhat on the season and the vigor
with which the phosphate mines are
operated. Eighty-five per cent, of
these people are colored; the remain
ing fifteen per cent, include the plant
ers and their agents, the storekeepers,
theoxvners of business plants and some
scattered “crackers.” As a whole, this
population of forty thousand is not
well-to-do. It dwells in huts and cab
ins rather than in houses. It lives
contentedly on hominy and bacon, with
boiled rice for variety and exveet pota
toes and chickens for luxuries. The
majority of the blacks do not lose sleep
because their crops are often mort
gaged when they are planted.
The axvful tidal wave of August 27,
1893, could hardly have found in the
United States a section whose topogra
phy was more inviting to its fury.
The surface of these islands is, for the
most part, a scant five feet above tide
water. Almost everything but the
tops of the pines was submerged by a
wave xvhich at its high >t is said to
have reached fifteen feet. Cabins,
fences, bridges, boats, and everything
not securely anchored were carried out
to sea; the groxving crops almost ready
for the harvest were washed out of the
ground or killed by the salt water;
desolation spread over the islands.
Prompt measures were adopted for
relief, but the extent of the disaster
increased as the truth became known.
At Charleston and at Beaufort commit
tees xvere organized, and contributions
came to them from the generous north,
though business depression then
shadoxved the country. Much had
been done, there was vastly more to
do, xvlien, on the 11th of September,
Miss Clara Barton, president of the
American National Red Cross, xvith as
sistants, arrived. Miss Barton came by
the united requests of the governor of
South Carolina and the two United
States senators. Accompanied by
Gov. Tillman, Senator Butler, state
oiliccrs and prominent citizeng,
an inx-estigation was made. This
was thoroughly and conscientious
ly done, ex r en to the taking of a census
of the destitute. The islands xvere
districted, distributing centers located,
trained nurses and physicians and ex
perienced helpers xvere summoned.
Very soon the Red Cross had an organi
zation nearly perfect, and xvas familiar
with every part of the islands. Dele
gations of sufferers called at first to
present their needs, and later to state
what they could get along xvithout.
The impression at the beginning xvas
that the Red Cross is a second edition
of the old Freedmen’s bureau, a dis
tributing agency. It required six xveeks
to explain the character of the relief
to be given, to impress it upon the suf
ferers.
DESERTS AND DESERT STORMS
Some Prevalent Miutakcs Corrected In the
Li^ht of Experience.
Science xvith its wonderful strides in
every direction knows comparatively
little of those large traits of arid lands
designated in our geographies as “des
erts.” We oxve the peculiar existing
ideas of the nature of deserts and the
supposed dangers connected xvith a
journey across them to the notes of the
earlier travelers and explorers of the
century. Kenoxvued travelers, such
as Cassati, Rohlfs, Lenz, Nachtigal,
etc., have in their various works and
lectures tried in vain to throw the
searchlight of their experience on the
pi-ex T alent ideas of these “Fables of the
Desert,” and hax'e shown, citing their
oxxm experience as a guarantee for
truth, that the greater number of these
so-called dangers of the desert are
mere pictures of the imagination, and
nothing else. I xvill try to enlighten
the reader and dissect with the scalpel
of experience some of the most inter
esting of these fables.
There are still a great many people
in the world whose imagination brings
—Mrs. Portly Pompous—“It is a little
strange that you are unwilling to show
your references.” Servant—“I hesitate
out of consideration for those people
who change their servant every xveek.”
—Texas Siftings.
— David is Hebrew, meaning the
well beloved. It xvas reckoned a fortu
nate name after the reign of the sec
ond Jexvish king.
Before tlicir mind s eye the desert as a
boundless ocean of sand, xvhich the
xxfinds and storms keep in constant tur
moil and xvhich create the so much
dreaded, so much lieard-of sandstorms,
xvhich they tell us at times bury whole
caravans of men and beasts and wares
beneath its undulating, cruel sands.
Hoxv different is the reality 7 .
Each desert, whether located in
Africa, Asia or America, has within its
boundaries, without a doubt, stretches
of sand large enough to be compared
to an ocean of sand. Take the Sahara,
for instance, xvhich is correctly named
the “desert of deserts,” and you find
such an area situated west of Egypt,
geographically known as the Lybian
desert; but every desert, and the Sa
hara in particular, offers other land
scapes than this; enormous plateaus,
yes. even mountain chains, some of the
peaks rising to an altitude of eight
thousand feet, can be found xx'ithin its
limits and give far more variety to the
scenery of the desert than the groups
of oases xvhich bob up from the plains
here and there like green islands in an
ocean.
On these plateaus we find stretches
of the stone desert, which the Arabs
call “hamada.” Here you see to the
limits of your horizon nothing but tre
mendous x 7 ari-colored and multi-shaped
rocks and bowlders. West to the
“hamadas” we come upon a portion of
the Sahara which for leagues and
leagues is cox’cred x\ r ith pebbles, tlicir
sizes varying from a pea to an English
walnut. These arc called in Arabian
“sserir,” and one of the largest of these
was crossed by the African explorer
Rohlfs in trying to reach the Oasis of
Kufra. It took him four days and ten
hours of constant tra\*el to accomplish
this.
And now to the sandstorms! Is the
“samum.” as it is called, really a
poison xvhich brings destruction to man
and beast? dust as xve discriminate
betxx T een a xvind and a storm, just so
the Sahara has sandxvinds and sand
storms. Nachtigal. the great explorer,
relates that during a visit at “Mursult”
the air xvas so filled xvith sand and dust
that everything on the oasis, the green
in the gardens, the palms, etc., xvas
changed to a dirty grayish color, and
such a x 7 eil of dust covered the heavens
that the sun appeared as a mere white
speck, xx’liose rays were so broken that
the entire surroundings were in a con
stant twilight.
This xvas the result of a sand wind.
The “samum,” or sandstorm, makes
its appearance in quite a different man
ner. About an hour, or even more, be
fore it reaches you, heavy yellow
clouds of sand appear on the horizon.
The atmosphere is heavy and charged |
with electricity. A tired feeling be
falls man and beast, and the camels i
become unruly. The camels are forced !
to lie doxvn, their heads with the wind.
Men and women cover themseWes xvith
their clothes, doing their best to have
their faces xvell concealed. The
“samum” generally lasts from ten to
thirty minutes, and is frequently ac
companied by a very heavy rainfall.
A “samum” with such a downpour
xvas encountered by Rohlfs on Easter
Monday, April 12, 1879. The air xvas
leaden. The wind changed to a regu
lar hurricane. Rolfe had hjs tent,
which xvas the largest of the caravan,
taken dowm and crawled underneath
the canx’ass, awaiting the “bride of
the desert.” as the Bedouin calls the
“samum.” The storm became fiercer
and fiercer, thick clouds of xvhich you
could not tell xvere they sand or masses
of steam circled xxdtii terrific velocity
ox T er the heads of the travelers; a can
nonade of thunder vibrated the earth.
Once in a while you hear the cracking
of a palm as the storm broke it in two.
Then the storm lifted the tent like a
balloon, and, to make the confusion
perfect, the rain came doxvn in such a
volume that a few seconds sufficed to
drench to the skin.
Then all of a sudden, as if by magic,
it became wonderfully still and the
glorious sun appeared again in the
purest and bluest ethers, and its pow
erful tropical rays soon dried every
thing. Without a doubt the “samum”
is one of the xx*orst plagues of the
desert; it weakens man and beast, and
the sand and dust xvhich is driven be
fore it forces its xvay through the
smallest crex’ices and thickest covers
and permeates mouth, nose and eyes,
but not in such quantites that it cannot
be got rid off xvitli ease. The very
finest sand even forces its xvay into
xvatchas; but none of it xvill suffocate
man or animal.
A “samum” ever so severe might
cover a whole caravan with a heavy
pall of dust and sand, but mwer tliroxx -
up such mountains of sand as to bury a
xvhole caravun. This is only one of the
manj’ fables of the desert. These sand
storms can, it is true, become danger
ous to travelers, but in a quite differ
ent manner. The stock of xxmter for a
caravan is generally carried in goat
skins. They are not particularly good
reservoirs, however, for they soon
allow an enormous quantity of
their contents to evaporate, a
result of the extraordinary heat,
& sandstorm brings xvith it. This
evaporation, now and then, takes sueb
proportions that a xvhole caravan might
die of thirst, especially when the hot
sandstorm has dried up all the springs
and pools on the way.
The air of the Sahara is at times so
dry that xvhen rain clouds come up
from the distance the rain cannot fall
to the ground, as it already evaporates
in midair, xvhich phenomenon is ac
companied by peculiar mixes in the at
mosphere. A “samum” has been known
to reach a temperature of one hundred
and twenty-live to one hundred and
thirty-eight Fahrenheit in the shade.
A scorching poxver of a wind is better
illustrated by the following fact: In
Central Australia, near the Hunt river,
at one time, a hot desert wind destroyed
every wheat field in a radius of ten
miles. In the Central Asiatic deserts,
especially in the desert of Gobi, these
sandstorms are even fiercer than in the
Sahara. At certain periods of the year
their appearance is a frequent occur
rence. and one has been known to last
even one xvhole day; then the disturbed
masses of sand and (lust are so thick
that even at midday the luminary is hid
from view,and darkness reigns supreme.
But ex-on these severe storms have never
been knoxvn to annihilate a caravan
provided it carried a good xvater supply.

ness of ignition of the shaving to that

material, namely, the finer the subdi
vision the greater the facility of igni-
; tion and the greater the rapidity of
! combustion. The severe accidents oc-
' curling in those lines of special manu
facturing using poxvdered xvood and
pulverized cork, so that these sub-
| stances can be classed as explosives
under such conditions, illustrate the
I occurrences resulting from such
changed conditions. It would be trite
to make any references to the expio-
j six-es of grain dust in flouring mills o"
of hop dust in connection with the man-
1 ufacture of malt, but there are continu-
1 ally occurring instances of the explo
sion of materials not ordinarily in
cluded in the list of explosives and
xvhich are made so solely on account
of rapid combustibility entirely due to
subdivision.
An explosion occurred recently in
that portion of a print works where
the cloth was received into the estab
lishment “in the gray” directly from
the mills xvithout any treatment, and
xvas being xvound into large rolls pz-e-
paratory to the processes cai’ried on in
that establishment. The short, fine
cotton fibers were shaken out of the
cloth as dust by the rapid xvinding to
such an extent that it became neces
sary to put a ventilating hood over the
machine. An electric spark at the belt
ignited some of the dust, and it pro
duced an explosion xvhich blew off the
roof and wrecked the contents of the
building xvith such violence as to seri
ously injure five men at work in the
room.
1 Vith the old method of opening and
picking cotton by which it was bioxvn
into a “gauzeroom,” there were numer
ous instances of explosions occurring in
connection xvith such fires, but that
class of accidents lias been x-ery much
reduced by the present method of tap
per pickers, xvhich wind the cotton into
a relatively compact cylinder. The ex
plosion of cotton fibers in napping-
rooins are still of frequent occurrence.
Within recent years a tire starting in
the cardroom of a cotton mill produced
an explosion xvhich xx-as exceedingly
violent, and spread the flames to an ex
tent beyond the scope of the fire ap
paratus and compassed the destruction
of the mill. The explosion from dust
in the various forms of continuous
driers used in textile mills have been
such as to require the utmost precau
tions by xvay of construction and con
tinuous cleanliness in order to secure
conditions of safety. When the facing
dust accumulating on the trusses of a
foundry xvas being washed from the
beams by a stream from fire hose,
when the works were shut down dur
ing an enforced vacation, such as has
occurred during recent times, the dust
tilled the building and xxais ignited by
the fire at the portable forge, xvliere
repairs xvere under xvay.
But such fires are not by an} 7 means
confined to the dust of ordinarily rec
ognized combustible materials. Fires
have been knoxvn to occur in the dust
of iron thrown out from the tumbling
barrels used for polishing tacks by
their attrition on each other. One
form of the xvell-known parlor fire-
xvorks. which produces such a bright
ft;!gnration, is merely the combustion
of finely divided steel, whose tempera
ture of ignition is so low that the hand
can be hold, not only with impunity,
but also xvithout any sensation of heat,
directly in the scintillation of the fire-
xvorks. The finely powdered zinc,
known as “zinc auxiliary,” xvhich is
used in connection with the rejuvena
tion of the indigo dye x 7 ats in the color
ing of cotton, is so rapidly oxidized by
a small amount of moisture that fires
produced in that manner are of fre
quent occurrence, and the danger is so
xvell known that many lines of xx-ater
transportation refuse to take this ma
terial under any condition xvhatsoex’er.

—Canned Pieplant.—Cut tlie pieplant

using only xvater enough to moisten
the sugar; when boiling add the pie
plant. Cook slowly and stir only
enough to keep it from sticking fast.
When very tender and clear, fill it into

preparing it leaves a rich, clear sirup
and the fruit fair and unbroken, xvhich
is very different from the thick, mushy
sauce too often prepared from pieplant.

To prepare this a larding needle xvill

fillet of x-eal and stuff it. Cut a slice of
bacon about one-eurhtb of an inch

six or eight hard-boiled eggs, and place
them in alternate layers xvitli the meat
in a pie dish; pour the gravy over all
and cover xvith rich pastry. A dash of
nutmeg (if liked) added to tlie grax-y is
an improvement. The gravy should be
tolerably thick and not too much of it.
Be careful not to put too much water
into tlie meat at first, and do not fill
tlie pie disli to within an inch and a

HINTS ON PRESSING.
A Few II«vilthfu! Suggestions for Amsiteur
Dressmakers.
Pressing is an art to be acquired only
by experience and is one of the last
things trusted to the hands of even the
most careful apprentice by the fashion
able modiste, for upon this part of the
work depend the fit and finish of the
garment.
To her neglect of, insufficient or un
skillful pressing, the failure of the
amateur to secure that indefinable
something in style so much to be de
sired is often due.
The real modiste presses and bones
the seams of a bodice before fitting,
even for the first time, xvhile the home
dressmaker frequently neglects to
press hers at all. It is an awkxx*ard
feat for her to perform and she thinks
it doesn't make much difference any
way: but. in fact, it should accompany
the work in all its stages, from tlie
first piece of lining joined to the last
bit of facing felled doxvn.
The simplest xvay to press a long
seam, as in the skirt or betxveen
breadths of the goods, is to open the
seam and set the iron down firmly,
hold the goods xvitli the left hand and
stretch slightly. Then the seam will
appear to open of its own accord as you
pass the iron along it.
A roRing-pin and a broomstick are
both repeatedly recommended to in
sert in a sleex 7 e in order to press its
rounding seams xvith care, but a tight
roll of newspapers xvill answer the
purpose equally xx 7 ell. and certainly
seems to be more cleanly.
If you do very much work it is xvell
to liax*e a genuine sleeve-hoard xvhich,
besides doing the xvork much better
than any substitute, is always ready.
This sleeve-board should be about
three inches xxdile at one end. sex’en at
the other and twenty-five inches long.
About four inches from the upper end
nail a block three inches thick which
xvill give the hoard somewhat the look
of a boot-jack. Cox 7 er neatly, first xvitti
flannel and then xxuth muslin. When
pressing the sleeve, draw it on so that
the seam comes on the edge of the
board, xvhich should be nearly an inch
thick,,and rest the board on the other
edge. On this narrow plane you can
press xvithout danger of creasing the
full puffs or other parts of the sleex 7 e.
Never dampen seams xvlien pressing
them. This is a dangerous and useless*
thing to do. A few drops of xvater ac>
cidentally sprinkled on the goods may
ruin the dress and a little harder pres
sure will do the xvork equally xvelL —

all the organs of tho body are under the con
trol of the nerve centers, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these arc
deranged the organs which they supply w ith
nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the injured point, because the nerx-e force is
prevented by tlie injury from reaching tlie
paralyzed portion, it xvill be understood how
the derangement of the nerve centers will
cause tlie derangement of tlie x-arious organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirds of chronic diseases tire duo to
tlie Imperfect, action of tho nerve centers at
the base of tho brain, not from a derange
ment primarily originating in the organ it
self. Tho great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases Is that they treat tho
organ rather than tho nerve centers which
are tho causo of the trouble.
bit. Franklin Miles, the celebrated spe-
cialist.has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
discoveries in connection xvith it, chief among
them being tlie facts contained in tlie above
statement, and that the ordinary methods of
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi
ness, dullness, confusion, pressure, blues,
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, St.
Vitus dance, etc., are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. Tho wonderful success of
Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine is due to the
fact that it is based on the foregoing principle.’

all druggists on a positive guarantee, or sent
