IN 1218, the Danish king, Waldemar II, landed his forces on Esthonlan soil nnd, after having conquered the region of Wyck (Hapsal), Harlen (Reval), and Alutuga (Narva), settled down and founded lu 1219 the town now known as Reval. Reval Is one of the few towns which has emerged, with all Its beauty, from the Middle Ages, says the Christian Science Monitor.' Approaching Ueval from the sea, one cannot but admire the gorgeous picture It makes, situ-' ated on the rock shore, with Its won derful castle perched on the hill, look ing proudly down over past days of sad history, as If despising the sor row and anxiety which now prevail In that unique town. . Reval In summer, with its cl**ar, blue sky, reminds one somewhat of Naples. Fitting In with the climate Is the wonderful complexion of the peo ple, and one Is struck by the beauty of the women, and the numbers of happy children. There Is no firmly established opin ion as to the derivation of the nfljtie. Reval. One legend has It that the name Reval Is derived from the Dan ish word "relTel" (reef), as In those days the Island of Karlos. which l? \wo or three versts from the town, was ,a long rocky peninsula. Medieval and Modern Mingled. The old town Is still partly sur rounded by a thick wall from which rise many queer, medieval towers, the highest 'of which Is the "Long Her mann." Then there is the "Fat (or thick) Margaritta," and the "Kick In de Keck." The lntter, overlooking the town, receives Its name, according to rumor, because one can peep into all , Its kitchens from Its windows. Splen did boulevards give a modern touch to this (town, despite its narrow, old world, winding streets. Like Athens, It has seven gates; the Big Strand (or sea) gate; the SmnW Strand, or Nicholas gate; the Wlru, or Nnrwa gate; the Karja, or Mlchailoff gate; the Ilarju. or New gate; the Pom gate, and the Cistern gate (which the Esthonlans catl Nunnavarov, de rived from the Nun gate, as a convent was once situated noarby). The towers and walls are riddled with bullet marks, which date hack to the times when the Moscovlan czar, Ivan Vasslllvltch. besieged the town. The gates are decorated with the coat of arms of the city, dating from the Danish period. Some have three light blue "nes on a gold ground, sur rounded with red; red *nd blue feath ers ornament the helmet, on which rests ?a crown. A woman clad in a red garment holds a cross In her hands. A silver cross on a red ground Is also sometimes found. Historical Housea and Castle. Reval. as already mentioned, Is one of the few towns In Europe to survive medieval days. For one who loves historical towns, to Indulge himself In admiring the wonderful old Danish nnd Swedish houses which ornament these narrow streets, Is a real Joy. The square near the castle and the market place are of peculiar histor ical Interest; those streets known as Broad street and Long street are the principal thoroughfares and contain most of the fashionable shops and residences. Turning to the magnificent Pom berg. with Its castle, or Kltterhaus, a new and ho less wonderful vista opens before us. The castle was built In the thirteenth century by Wablemar, nnd was pnrtly rebuilt In 1722. It Is surrounded by walls and a beautiful park. Formerly, this quarter was di vided Into two parts, one belonging to the church, the other to the knights. On the right, the house of the nobil ity contains many Interesting fea ture*. Unfortunately the archives, which were kept there, were lost, when, for some unknown reason, those dntlntr from before 1??B0 wcr#? sent by fthlp to Sweden In 1710. Two out of the three ships were wrecked. The only reliable source from which one could trace "the history of Esthonla has thus been destroyed. 8om? Ancient Churches. The churches of Reval are also of great Interest. The; Lutheran and Nlcolml churches were built In the fourteenth century. The Olaf church was hullt In 1829. and probably de rived Its name from the Danish king. Olnf. Unfortunately, however, thit| church was partially destroyed 1n the great fire of 1483. The tower was soon rebuilt to lt,s present height of] 4110 feet. This Is one of the highest churches in Europe, and In the oht| days formed a landmark for seafar ers. The Esthonlan Church of the Holy Ghost Is 0110 of the oldest In exist ence. Experts helleve It to have been built In the early Gothic period. In addition, there are many other notablo buildings, Including the town hall and the Kcharta Hftupter Hans (Black-Headed building) ; this latter derives Its name from Its patron saint, the Negro Saint MfljM'ltjus, whose black head crowns the bulttt-j Ing, which belongs to the Associa tion of Bachelor Business Men. orig inally formed for the maintenance of order and tjrtv'defense of the town against marauders. The traveler should not leave Es thonla before he has mounted the Lax berg at sunset. From here he will see. In the distance the Domberg castle, with Its silvery shimmering roofs and towers; the dark silhouette of the Oiaf church, with Its spire hidden In clouds; and the blue sea forming a background. Interrupted by the fine green line of Wolf and Nnrgan Is lands. beyond which the fishermen are returning home. Crowned by the red rays of the setting sun. this tffll re main a never-to-be-forgotten picture. GAVE CHANCE TO SQUARE UP Why Many C vil War Officer# Wei corned a Skirmi?h Not Alone for Its Own Sake. As one who took part In the Ameri can Civil war, George Haven Putnam, n member of the publishing firm, re-" called many Interesting Incidents In his "Memories of My Youth." He states that one of the advantages of a retreating campaign was the oppor tunity It gave to officers to straighten up their obligations for various arti cles and regimental property for which they were responsible. He writes: "The wise officer who ptcks up things upon the way retains these In what might be called a reserve fund. He knows that other articles will dis appear later and that It will be a con venience to have something with which to offset his account. On the other hand, if articles disappear without vouchers the commander, who has al ready had similar experience, makes a practice of carrying them as on hand until his command is involved In any thing that could be called a fight. Af ter such fight Is over the articles will be duly disposed of in form 41 as 'lost or destroyed In action.' "When my regiment landed in Lou isiana the quartermaster and the com pany commanders were alike responsi ble for quite an accumulation of arti cles which had been duly utilized for the benefit of the United States, but for which they had no proper vouch ers on file. The first fight?a mere swamp skirmish?was, on this ground, hailed with delight. I remember golug up to the post commander with a long list of property that had been 'used up' in tills very serious combat. The colo nel looked at the paper rather quizzl cally. " " 'Quartermaster,' he said, 'I see Tn this list 17 boxes of hatchet heads. The fight must have been very fierce In deed If the boys were under the neces sity of throwing hatchets at the ene my.' "But he certified to the paper, and I was therefore not called upon to make payment for those hatchet heads."

P. lllack well, Agronomist. "The peanut is a new crop to many South Carolina fanner*, and we would advise them to commit their County Agent or some other reliable au thority if they are iu doubt as to what fertilizers to 'buy for peanuts". In this connection the attention of fanners is called to the following general facts about fertilizer requirements for peanuts. 1. The peanut is a legume aud should get a large part of its nitrogen or am monia from the air through the nodules on its roots. As a gvneral rule, how ever, some nitrogen should be applied in the fertilizer. The amount for best results will depend largely on the kind of soil and the .amount of organic mat ter present. On very rich soils where there is a large amount of orgquie mat ter present, no nitrogen need be included in the fertilizer. For a sandy soil Which has a fair amount of organic present, two per cent of amrT be used with profit. On soils that are very sandy and low in organic matter, we believe it advisable to use an 8-3-3 fertilizer. In fact, we*' gotten best results with an 8-3-3 in our experiments at the Pee Dee Experiment Station at inic nuUtfer monia may A Reputation to Maintain For 50 years fho?o f* inouM tvUI tui'Hx Imia'C bwu pixxlue Houw of uniformly 'biipb <puil ity ?i\<l linom***.
