JOURNEY NORTHWARD (Continued from page l) many accounts of heathenism, and how grateful they were to the Southern Baptists for their sup port, in the work to help christian ize a lost world. I wiLl now leave Baltimore just b2fore the close of the convention, ' and spend some time in Washing ton, our Capitol City. It is one ol the prettiest cities in the United States and which I think should b< as it is oar captiol, and named in honor of our first president. While there we chanced to see the street parade of Indians of the "Wild West Show." I suppose al: of you have learned something of Indians, and many - wonder if all it true that is written about them They had bows, arrows, rifles,differ ent kinds of instruments, beads, and last the old-time carriage with sev eral Indian women, their face* painted and their heads adorned with feathers. We went through the Capitol in o the Congress and Senate chamber, both being in session. We 6aw our vice president, Mr. Sherman. After leaving here we went to Mount Vernon, the home of Gen. Washington, on the Potomac. Here everything is supposed to be kept just as it was during Gen- Washing ton's life. His carriage which is a very old vehicle is where Washing ton left it. His tomb is of marble on the spot which he selected. One would enjoy spending a long while at this nice place, going through the dwelling house and flower garden along the shaded walks near the river, and also go boat riding. . As space is getting small and perhaps the readers tired, I will turn your thoughts again to Wash ington. We went first, to the Congres sional Library, the finest in the world, so again we should feel proud of Washington. Going through the City Park and flower house you see a great variety of flowers, plants, shrubs and many kinds of fruits. Next to the Bureau of Fisheries, almost every kind of fish and shell are to be seen here, a little farther on we came to the Museum and Library. Books, birds, animals, a;uns, can nons and thc cannon balls are" found here. Now comes the best place, if not the prettiest, the Washington monument, which is 550 feet high going up within 50 feet of the top either in an elevator or the stair case. From here you get the pretti-v est view of the city. Yon can se Arlington," the hons? of Lee, who is another one of our most noted men. I will mention some of the Gov ernment. Buildings, which I c]id not go through, as it : was after closing hours: The United States treasury, where all paper money is made; the White House, the home of our President; the Navy Build ing, tlie Corcoran Art Gallery and last ii not least the Post Office and Smithsonian" Institute. So, you see we had to turn our eyes to see some thing else; whick was a large party of Chinese, the real Chinese from China. Just before leaving Washington I will take the time to admire the fine Union station, supposed to be the finest in America, built of mar ble and is beautifully lit up. Leaving our Capital with all its fine buildings, its shady groves, its crystal fountains, I will describe a part of the states we pass through on our journey home. The first place of importance is Mana8sas, where the first and sec ond battles of Manassas were fought, also the Manassas Industrial School is erected here. It is a city of three or four thousand inhabitants. Next we pass the battle grounds and cemetery where the battle of Cul pepper was fought. Here as at all other Government property is the United States flag. The more we travel the more we see, so we are now in sight of the Blue Ridge mountains, and blue they are, just as they are described by their name. I arrived at home the 19tb, very glad to be in South Carolina again. I will close this by wishing you one and all a happy vacation, and I am sure you will have it if you spend it nea/ Cleora and then, some of you readers attend our next con vention, which meets in Jackson ville, Fla. Hoping my letter has not been too long, I wish you much success for the remainder of the year 1910. Your friend, Janie Rosensw ike. Troy, S. C.

Before coffee stalls were instituted the humblest places of refreshment were cellars, where the hard up. as tlie slang ^tirase went, could "dive for a dinner," with a choice of such viands as tripe, cow heel, sausages and shin of beef soup. Some of the cellar res taurants existed as recently as the ear ly seventies of the last century in Butcher row, Temple Bar and the net work of courts and alleys swept away' foi* the site of the royal courts of jus tice. It was in this neighborhood and probably to a dining place of this description that Dr. Johnson resorted in his struggling days, when he was so poor that, as be relates, it was not every day that he could afford a half penny tip for the "waiter.-Lofldon Chronicle. Wells In India. The questiou of wells in India is complicated by the coexistence In each community of two castes-the purer Hindoos and Gonds ou the one hand, the weavers on the other. No weaver maj draw from the well uf the Hin doos lest it be detiled, nor will the Hindoo drink from the bands Or the well of a weaver. Thus it becomes nec essary either to dig two wells or to depute a eartaiu number of the Hindoo element to give water to their less ex alted fellow villagers.
