Street Scene In Revet.
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."

Fertilisers For" I'ennuts.
Clemtf.on College, Feb. 13.?"We are
informed that in some case* clover sales
lueu are taking advantage of the farmer*'
lack of experience with |>canuts to sell
them, fertilizing .material which is not

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

I AST year's production of the Chandler Six was of record volume and
J this year*s production will double it; but if you don't want to wait for
your new Chandler next spring, we would suggest that you order it now*
This year's automobile, shows have attracted crowds greater than ever
before, partly perhaps because hundreds of thousands of Americans were
unable to secure new cars last year. And these great crowds of motor
enthusiasts have found no better value in the whole exhibit ,of tlx cylinder
cars than that which Chandler offers.
- . - ? -V
Chandler leads so distinctly in the medium-priced fine car field
because it does offer such splendid value; because of its really marvelous
motor developed through seven years of production in the Chandler plant
and seven years' service on the road in the hands of a host of owners; be
cause of its sturdy, dependable mechanical construction throughout the
entire chassis; and because of Its attractive and comfortable body.
