Fol lowing lu a Hhort (teMriittlou of the Agave, whlcjt In It* proper name In the native land, taken from the Now Student'a Reference Work; The Agave 1h a genus of plant* t?f the amarylllH family, whose numerous ?1*m;IV? are peculiar to the warm and dry iftolon* of A inert oft. Along with foriiiH ??f cactua and yucca, agavo forms the characteristic American des ert vegetation, tine of the sinnies, the American aloe, has received the fan ciful name of Century Plant, from the mistaken notion that It moot be a 'minimi years eld liefore It hlooins. It Is a native of Mexico ami Central America. In native -soils the plant usually blooms In Its seventh, or eighth year, but In hothouses It rarely blooms until It Is from 40 to 00 years old; whence arises the ntwy that they Mower ouly once in a hundred years. After tlowerlng $he plant dies down to the ground aiul new plautn spring up from the roots. It has no stein 'I jpro|ier, or a very short one, bearing a crowded head ef large fleshy leaves, which are spiny at the edge. From the midst of these shoots up the upright if4 tc feet high,* and at the base frequently a foot through, along which are lance like Mower bnineh<*K, ending in clusters of blossoms tof ten numbering 4,0(K) flowers. Although agaves are decorative plants in' the United States and Ku rojK?, In their native home In Mexico they are among the most useful plants. They are called maguey, and are a regular farm crop and valued highly. Some of the species supply fiber which is used in making rope, cordage, mat ting, clothing, thread, hammocks, bag ging, hurlap and other coarse textile stutTs, and the old Mexicans used it to make a coarse jiaper. Ifs intro duction on our arid Western plains is highly recommended, for it .will grow In the dry lands of Texas, New Mexico. Arizona and southern .Cali fornia. When piytturagc is scarce the leaves are cut up and fed to cattle. From some of the?>?)e<wR soap is made, while the two most commit Mexican drinks, pulgue. and mescal, are ob tained from stlM others. When the young bud Is cut out, the sap keeiw on Mowing into the cavity. This iuice is quite sweet. It Is gathered dally and furmented, and becomes the great Mexican drink known as pulgue. It Is milky, sour, and bad smelling, looking like thin buttermilk, and has a sour taste; yet even Americans soon find it agreeable and refreshing. A distilled liquor is also made from It. The unfermcfoted maguey, called hon ey-water Is used as a substitute for milk. Tribute to Hr. Simpson.

Loan & Savings Bank OF CAMDEN, S. C. T1IR WOMAN WITH THE HOE. Farming ami Gardening Call Forth Overall and Working Clothes. Now York, May *28.?TU?. familiar age-old saying tells us there id a time for everything, and just now there is no doubt that the time has come to shoulder the hoe and cultivate the land. Women as well as men are joining the great army of the soldiers of the soil for which the country calls, for this is one of the ways in which we are urged to 44do our hit" in giving helpful service. Women who are seriously taking to farming and gardening have had to dc cide on suitable clothes to work in. They have adopted practical overalls ami simple uniforms consisting of a short skirt and a plain, practical waist. Equipped for Outdoor Work ?Witta Overalls and Sim-Hat. Whether women are really going to dwvote a great deal of time to farming in earnest, or whether they are sim ply going to cultivate the small plot In the backyard to raise the vegetables for the family supply, an overall suit is the thing to get. r The sketch shown a suit of very prac tical overalls. This is the kind that is worn with any separate blouse, the top of the overalls being made lu jumper effect. The ?bloomers- are roomy and comfortable. They arc gathered at the lower edge and securely tucked under the tops of the high law shoes, which are the correct shoes to wear for gar dening. No dirt or twigs will get in and make the feet uncomfortable when the bloomers are arranged in this way with the shoes laced over them. Some overalls are jnade air in one with waist and sleeves sewed in, form ing a complete costume which elimi nates the necessity of wearing a waist, underneath. This style is preferred by Home women. The overalls illustrated have been adopted by their-National American Woman Suffrage Association whose members use them in the agricultural department. Women in the home are also taking to overalls for performing the rough duties about the house. When used for this purpose, they are usually made up in the lighter materials such as percale, chambray and gingham. ? Wbile women are cultivating the soil, they surely do not want to be cul tivating freckles as well, so the garden ing outfit Is not really complete with out. a sun-hat or ,* sunbonnet to pro tect the head. An excellent type of sun-hat with a brim which may be rotled up or down is sho^vn with the overalls illustrated. This Is just as essential to the gardener as the hoe, rake or spade, not to mention the im IH>rtant overalls. The overalls and hat are usually made of the saihe ma terial, and one of the most practical materials to use is khaki or. heavy khaki-colored materials. This color is the best to use for the obvious reason that it does not show the dirt as much a? any other. Women's overalls are also made Up in blue jean that practi cal fabric which has always been used for men's overalls.
