CAROLINE ISLANDERS
Forty Thousand People Who Lead
a Precarious Existence.
Domiciled Upon lands That Scarcely Ap
pear Above Tide-Water and Are
Swept by the Fury of the
Elements.
Alonr; 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 tha
Atlantic seaboard. Savannah, Beau
fort and Charleston, while seaport cit
ies with their large shipping interests,
are, in a sense, inland towns. They
are reached through 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
ihart, says Harper's Weekly, he will
wonder how the pilots ever learn the
channels, and how, having once mapped
them, it ia possible to follow 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 uie now ol tne tide, ana tne rivers
have two currents, one towards the
ocean and the other from it.
There are some ninety of these is
lands, as they are recognized, but their
number is doubled by heavy rains.
J. nose islands are wooded witn 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 llau
fort one hundred and sixty thousand
tons of this rock are taken out and
washed preparatory to treatment evary
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
MisisHippl, but the more nought-for
Sea island cotton. During tho season
of 18'Jl-2 the crop of the islands waa
eleven thousand five hundred and one
bales. The potst season yielded but
about twenty-one hundred biiles, enow
infj the loss sustained in this one crop
on accout of tha storm. These products
are mentioned to show that the Sua
Islanders in fuir times are able to sup
port them wives.
The population of these Islands is
forty thousand or more, depending
aoniewhnt on the Reason and the vigor
with which the phosphuto mines are
operated. Eljhty-avo per cent, of
these jH'oplo are coi ned; the remain
ing fifteen per cent. Include the plant
ere and their agents, the aUirokeejH-rs,
lite owner or iiuaineaa plant and some
scattered "cmeUcr," As a whole, thli
population of forty tlvniMind it Dot

AFRICAN PALM OIL.
An Important Article of Commerce In
England.
The palm oil which is the staple
product of the Lower Niper, as of the
west coast generally, is obtained from
a wild palm. The natives use it both
for cooking, for burning and for smear
ing their bodies with. It is to them,
indeed, & great deal more than ghee
is to the Hindu. The fruit of the tree
grows in large prickly clusters, and its
skin is of a bright red or orange color,
turning to yellow when ripe. . The
pulp is rather bitter in taste and is
reddish-white in color. With the fruit
is a stone or kernel about the size of a
filbert. The natives, gathering the
fruit when ripe, bruise it gently in a
wooden mortar, and then boil it in
water in large caldrons; while simmer
ing, it is stirred with a stick, to sepa
rate the pulp from the kernels, which
sink to the bottom and are reserved
for other uses. The oil which floats on
the surface of the water as the boiling
proceeds, is skimmed oft and placed in
earthenware vessels.
The Niger affords two kinds of palm
oil. The one is of the consistency of
butter, and is called "hard" oil, and
for this the only market is England.
The other is liquid and is called "soft
oil," and for this the highest price is
obtained in all the European markets.
There is hardly any dillerence in the
quality, but only in the method of
preparation. The buying price on the
river ranges from five pounds to six
pounds ten shillings per cask of
two hundred gallons, and it is
calculated that about 'eight thou
sand tons are annually exported
from the Niger to Europe, where
it Is employed in making can'
dies, soap, railway grease, etc. Both
the trading and the transport to the
"factories" is carried chiefly by wonv
en, after the manner of the noble sav'
age; and the strings of females, each
with a pot of palm oil on her head and
a baby on her back, are among the
everyday sights of the country. At
the factories the oil is carefully meas
ured by the agents, and is paid for in
salt or cotton cloth. Then it is casked
and stored in the station, waiting for
transport down the river, to be put on
board the ocean steamers at Akaaaa.

TIPS FOR THE QUEEN.
They Are Called Perquisites, But She Gets
Them Just the Same.
Queen Victoria gets more tips than
any other functionary in Great Britain,
and, what is more, she insists on get
ting them. Of course they are not
called tips. They are called perquis
ites, but it is all the same. An ex-attache,
writing in the New York Trib
une, says that among the most curious
of them is her right to every whale or
sturgeon captured on the coast of the
united kingdom and brought to land.
Hoth of these perquisites date back to
the days of the Norman kings and it
appears that in the case of the whale
the monsters were divided between the
sovereign and his consort, the queen
taking the head in order that her ward
robe might be replenished with the
whalebone needed for the stiffening of
her royal garments.
Another of the queen's backsheesh
is a certain number of magnificent
CaEhmere shawls, which are dispatched
to her every year from the kingdom of
Cashmere. They vary in value, as a
rule, from three hundred to twelve
hundred dollars apiece and the queen
is accustomed to present one of them
as a wedding present to every young
girl of the aristocracy or in whose fu

to ancient tradition and usage, should

ABSOLUTELY PURE
RUINS OF FORT DU CHARTRES.
Historic Kelio Slowly Doing to Oust Over
In Randolph County.
Over in the northeast corner of Ran-
dolpn county. 111 , covered with under-!
growth and weeds, but one little gate '
remaining with the crumbling walls of
the outer bastion, is all that is left of
one of the historic fortresses of the
American continent. It is the ruins of
old Fort du Chartrcs, one of the chain
of fortifications erected by the French
for the purpose of repelling the attacks
of the red men and later the redcoats.
Away back in 1718 this point was first
selected and constructed. It took its
name from the fact that It was con
structed under the charter direct from
the French king and was built of wood
in ancient blockhouse style. That was
all that was needed at a time when ar
tillery to breach the walls was hard to
get and impossible to transport over
the dreary waste of the western conti
nent. It became the most flourishing
of the posts and the surrounding region
soon settled up with thrifty subjects of
far-away t rance.
Villages sprang up around the post,
the necessity for greater protection
than a farmhouse causing the people to
group themselves near fortified posts,
that the thirsty Indian might not shed
their blood in the ever-recurring raids
on the "pale face." In tune it was
fired, however, and nearly all de
stroyed. It waa abandoned la 1772. The
villages were swept away in the floods
which buried all of that portion of
what is now the great state of Illinois.
Prior to this final abandonment, how
ever, under the administration of
Chavalicr Macarty, the post was turned
into a regular fortress with heavy ma
sonry quadrangle, inner and out"r
bastions and scarp. This was done
principally for the purpose of resisting
tho attacks of the English, then at war
with France on this continent,
Kt. Ango Do llolle Rive succeeded the
Chevalier Macarty in the command of
Fort Chartrcs and retained possession
of the fort and country until the arriv
al of Capt. Sterling of the British array
on July 17, 1705, when St, Ango and his
troops took possession of the present
Bite 01 Ml. IXIlllH, .Mo.
This fortress built at so much ex
pense In the wilderness , of America,
antl at the same lime so atrong and
durable, has been declining since it
abandonment. In places the walla
are torn away and almost even with
the surface and will all bo a maaa of
ruin In a few year unless the govern
ment lake ktep to protect It. Every
tammc r relic hunter from all over the
atale visit this fort and dig within ita
wall for relie. Chicago Chronicle.

meeting between mother and daugh
ter. There was none of the ordinary
axhibitions of parental or childish af
fection. When the child came out to
meet the mother, the latter carefullv
scrutinized her and then led her away
about fifty yards, where the two sat
down in the tall grass.
."Hardly a word was spoken. The
mother emptied the contents of her
basket, vhieh were a lot of provisions
and trinkets, into the child's- lap, and
the latter accepted them without any
marked evidences of gratitude, as far
as I could observe. After thev had
spent a half -hour together in this way
tne agea mother slowly rose, replaced
ner tiauket on her arm and walked
slowly away nntil she disappeared
from view far out on the Dlaina.
When she left the daughter no eood-
bys were spoken, nor were there any

BOUGHT HIS LOVED ONE APPLES
And Fald Uearly for Them aa an Evidence
of the Sincerity or Hie Love.
When I first enrrafred in the fruit
business in Montana, some thirty years
ago, said Robert Wells, of Butte, Mont,
to the bt. Lou is Ulobe-Democrat man,
prices were a notch higher than they
are to-day. When I opened up I rented
little stall in front of a store, for
which I paid fifty dollars a month rent
IN early all of my stock had to be
brought several hundred miles by stage,
and as that was pretty expensive, I had
to charge pretty stiff prices in order to
come out ahead. One of my best cus
tomers was a young man who waa
courting a girl in the neighborhood.
Three times every week he would come
to my stand and buy five apples, the
price of which was a dollar apiece, and
carry them to his sweetheart I alwaya
picked out the best onea for him.
wrapped them up carefully In tissue
paper, and placed them in a neat little
box. After awhile he got married, and
then he bought no more apple. Other
fruit waa Just as high in proportion. I
sold many a pineapple for seven dol
lars. Oranges were two dollars apiece
and grapes three dollars a pound.
A Presumptuous Secretary. "
Emperor William I. of Oormany at
the close of the t rench war dictated to
hi private secretary an address which
he intended to deliver to tho German
army. The final sentence ran thus:
"Hut do not forget that we must all be
grateful toward lYovidcncej for Provi
dence has tritltit that we should be the
Instrument destined to accomplish what
are such irreat events In the history of
the world." The secretary, having his
own Ideas, a even the secretaries of
emperor and king cannot help hav
ing, wrote: "Providence has pmiited.n
"Mop!" aald the aged emperor. "Do
you Imagine that 1 could have sup
ported the burden of thl war If I had
not entertained the firm conviction that
Providence vilUd It? Write the word
aa I dictated It."
