The razing of the Hillman tollgate

in the lower Shenandoah valley. It
was constructed in 1S40. before there
were railroads in this section, and it
was a part of the thoroughfare from
Tennessee to Alexandria, Va„ and
often 20 to 30 wagons could be teen
in a line making the trip to amt from
the boats at Alexandria.

In 18tkt. From 186» to 1862 the gate
was kept by bls widow, Charlotte Hill
man, when, on account of war condi
tions, the gate was abandoned until
1865. The house was struck by a
shell lust before the Battle of Kerns-
town.
It 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.

Years and years ago, even before

Cannon were bom, the early arrivals
of a southern colony dropped their
hoes and went to mining for gold.
“Why raise food when the mountains
were full of gold?" they asked as they
loaded a ship with the shining ore.
Alas! the metallurgists of England
said it was not gold.
Visions of
wealth were dissipated. Worse y«t.
The summer was over; the harvest
was pnst. and they had laid up no

it undisturbed in the Southern hills.

WELL TO KNOW WHAT TO SKIP
Advice to Readers I* Worth Ponder.
Ing—Man Who Waited Many
Year* to Finish Book.
“Reading should be a Joy, not a
penance,” said Mr. Pett Ridge, at the
Mansion house, after distributing
prizes ami certificates to pupils of the
city of London college.
"Above all,” he added, according to
the Dally Chronicle, "learn to skip.
Skipping Is an exercise which pre
vents obesilty of the mind.”
Mr. Pett Ridge told some amusing
stories.
"In a military hospital.” he said, “a
man asked me whether I could get him

ago. I borrowed It from another man.
Somebody pinched It from me when 1

end of it.’ I found the book for him.
He said, ’I'm very glad to have it. I
began it 20 years ago—’ I said. ‘Yes.
but you’ve read a large number of
books since then, haven’t you?' The
man replied, ‘Oh, no; I never tried
another.’”
Another story was of the agent of a
pill and ointment firm who was sent
into a foreign country. As a first step
toward business he compiled a long
list of complaints, beginning with
“Asthma” and ending with "Zymotic
diseases.” Hla goods, he said, would
cure these ailments, and then, as a
sort of postscript, be added: "If there
should be any complaints existing In
this country which are unknown in
England, the pills and ointment will
cure them also.”

BUILDERS TO USE TREENAILS
The framework of the wooden ships
which are now being built for the
United States Emergency corporation
will not be held by even a single metal
nail. They will be pinned together
with treenails cut front the trunks of
live oak or yellow locust trees.
There are two or three causes for
the use of wooden nulls. One Is the
great need of Iron and steel In other
lines of war activity where wood
could not be used, and another Is that
the wooden pin Is lighter than a metal
one and less expensive.
Each ship's hull will require 300,000
of the treenails, and they will be
fastened in place by splitting each
end and driving In n white oak wedge.
Each ship will require 600,000 wedges.
It Is said that the wooden pins are
more quickly put In place than are
metal ones.
Treenails are 24 Inches long, an
Inch and a quarter In diameter and
perfectly round. They are used to
fasten the planks to the boat frames.
Soon after a vessel Is launched the 1
pins swell to a suug fit In the frame
work.
Timber for the ships cowtes from
the sawmills in OO-foot slabs 14 inches
through, and is then worked into the
different sizes for the framework and
siding.
English Women Baking Own Bread.
In an article called "Voluntary Ra
tioning” in Woman's Home Compan
ion, a writer says:
“Bakers are forbidden to deliver
bread before it is twelve hour» old.
This. In itself, has helped the saving
of wheat very materially, as people
do not fancy stale bread. And. the
housewife. In her own home baking,
has learned this valuable lesson also.
She puts her freshly baked bread
away to stale for 12 or 24 hours. For
many years English baker's bread has
been so good and so cheap that it
has formed a large part of the dairy
menu.
But government regulation

of flour being so limited, pastries and

homes.”

the pilot meanwhile recovers conscious

This was exactly what occurred to a
friend of my own who was doubly
wounded at lO.iMW feet, and swooned
away, with a helpless observer on
board. During the resnltant dive the
pilot came to himself nnd landed with
out a crash. Not Infrequently, more
over, a courageous observer may save
the situation, and one such was
awarded the military cross not very
long ago for a particularly daring feat.
The pilot was badly wosmded and lay

plane was actually diving, under full
engine power, the observer scrambled
out of his seat, hung on right ontslds

whfi the airplane was descending at

West Virginia.
The present state of West Virginia
was originally und for a long time part
of the state of Virginia. The presiden
tial election la 1860 showed that a
majority of the people of Virginia were
opposed to seceding from the Union,
but when PreaMent Lincoln issued his
call for troops a state convention pass
e-1 an ordinance of secession without
waiting for a popular vote. Later it
wns ratified by the people of the east
ern part of Virginia ami repudiated by
those of the western part. Thus the
secession, or attempted secession of
Virginia from the Union led to the
separation of West Virginia from old
Virginia and the formation of a new
state.
