It is pleasant to announce that the cheer ful peanut holds it's own. In 1875-76 the to- tai crop from the goober- producing States Tennessee, Virginia and North Clrolina- amounted to 800, 900 bushels. The following year the yield was increased nearly 80 per cent, but dropped to less than it's old aver age in the year succeeding. In 1S7s-79 it was l ,27O, 900 bushels, while the total con sumption of peanuts in the United States for the year ending September 30, 1880, was l. 927,o bushels, and the stock on hand is 238, ,0OO bushels, which is the measure of pro- duction for 1s79-so. The crop for the year ending September 3, 1881, is estimated at about 2,22O,O bushels Think of the pea nut crop it will take to supply the popula- ton of 100 1000, ,0Oo towards which this coun- try is rapidly going.

Photographs on Leaves.

The beautiful photographic novelties, photographs on natural leaves, are pro- Guced in the following way: Fresh leaves, preferably such as afford smooth surface when pressed, and have an agreeable degree of transparency, as those of the spring, are first immersed in alcohol until they are pale enough in color to form q pleasing background for the photograph, and at the game time become less liable to change of tone. Bleaching the leaves will not answer the same purpose. After drain ing off the alcohol, they are spread out in the air until leaves originally firm be- come wilted. and are then pressed for half an hour between blotting-paper. The upper side of the leaf is then floated on 8 salted solution of albumen, or brushed rapidly with it by means of a broad brush, and the coating is dried as rapidly as possible by hanging tine leaves on cord with the albumen- ized side nearest a stove, in order that all the natural moisture of the leaves may not be lost, or they will become too brittle for the subsequent manipula- tions. It may even be advisable to moisten the unalbumenized side of the leaf during the drying. Asecond press ing is also generally necessary at this stage, and they are then immediately sensitized, either by floating them on g solution of nitrate of silver or by brush. ing them with it, and dried with tht same care as before, and may again bt pressed with advantage before exposing them under the negative.-Bdzar.

The First Banks.

We are generally told in histories of banking, as, for instance, in that by Gil bert, that the first national bank was that of Venice, founded in the year 1I57, but I agree with MT. Mcleod, that this institution was not at first, in any sense, a true bank. The State being deeply involved in debt, its creditors formed into corporation, and the debts made transferable like our consols. It was not till 1887 that the institution began to take money on deposit. The deposi- tors received credit on the bank s books equal to the actual weight of the bullion placed there, which the bank undertook to keep intact in it's vaults and to repay to the depositor at any time, or to transfer to any one else. The earliest real bank was that of Barcelon, founded in 149l. In this case the city funds were made responsible for any moneys intrusted to the bank, which not only received deposits but exchanged money and discounted bills. The bank of Amsterdam was founded in 1909. The so-called bank of St. George, at Genoa, dates bank to 1875. The bank of Stockholm, which commenced in 1868, was the first bank Ia Europe to issue banknotes, which, until that time, were totally unknown in the West, although, as we have seen, they had been in use in China.

The Emperor of San Francisco.

Emperor Norton the First is dead. He reigned in San Francisco, and firmly believed in his self-imposed title. His subjects were old Californians, who humored his whim by paying the royal assessments he levied. He was naturally handsome man, but he made himself grostesque by his dress. A plume al- ways waved from his hat, and he wore a light blue uniform, sometimes with a sword When the public mind became excited over any subject he would set all right by issuing proclamation, signed Norton l." When this was done the political or financial trouble was settled in his mind. He showed his subtle knowledge of statecraft by avoid- ing the Chinese question, about which he thought great deal could be said on both sides. He had his own opinion of Denis Kearney, and kept it to him self. Caterers did not profit by his cus- tom. His appetite was hearty, and his inclination to pay was small. His DOT trait has long hung in the galleries of the city, side by side with those of Kalakaua, Dom Pedro and other monarchs, and his death brought it to the front in many windows. San Fran cisco is left without butt for general ridicule.

Slaughtering Elephants,

Here is true elephant story for you from an American missionary, who once lived among the Dutch Boers of Natal for seven years. He saw the ivory, and believes the story:
 One afternoon, about four o'clock. three Dutchmen were out hunting, and came upon large herd of elephants. They fired at the leader, and instantly the entire herd fled. The leader rushed on and on, thinking he was on the rig h, track to escape; but the elephants were in & valley and only ran round and round it, in circle perhaps three hun. dred yards in diameter, and were shot down from four o'clock in the afteanoor until eight in the evening, when dark ness prevented the Dutchmen from talk ing aim any longer. But the three mer rose at break of day. and found the poo elephants still going round and round It was several hours before a new leader. breaking out of the beaten track led off the remainder of the herd il safety. The Dutchmen, whose name were Botha and Potgeiter, two bein. brothers, counted the slain. Ninet, elephants lay dead in the valley, and a their valuable tusks of ivory wer divided equally among the three Dutch men, you can believe that each man share was considerable. -&. Nicholas.

EXaggeratiOn in Figures.

As fair example of the curiosity of statistics, says Spofford, the congress sional librarian, take the army of Xerxes when it crossed the Hellespont to in- wade Greece. Herodotus gives it as l,7OO,- GOO foot, iO0, GOO horse, and 5I7 GOO naval forces-total, 2,317, ,000; and adds that this was swollen by the attendants to 5,200, ,000; and all this to invade coun- try which in no age known to history contained over I,5oO,O00 inhabitants. Another favorite myth of historians is the story of that famous Alexandrian library of 100000 volumes, burned by the Caliph Omar, A. D. GAO, with rhetorical dilemma iL his mouth. Un- fortunately for this highly dramatic tale no two writers are agreed as to the cir cumstances, except as to the single fact that there was library at Alexandria, andthat it ceased to exist in the seventh century. To ask modern inquirer to believe that 100000 books were gathered in one body 500 years before the inven- tion of printing, while the largest | library in the world, four centuries after the multiplication of books by printing began, contained less than 200, ,OOO vol umes, is altogether too great a stretch l of credulity. Even in reporting the 1 size of modern libraries, exaggeration holds sway. The library of George IV., inherited from book collecting father. and presented to the British nation after he had failed to sell it to Russia, was said in the publications of the time to contain about l20,000 volumes. But an actual enumeration when the books were lodged in the kings library, at the British museum, where they have ever since remained showed that there were only 65,250 volumes, being little more than half the reported number. Many libraries, public and private, are equally over-estimated. It is so much easier to guess than to count, and the stern test of arithmetic is too seldom applied, not withstanding the fact that 100, 900 volr umes can easily be counted in day by two or three persons, and so on in the same proportion. Here, as in the sta- l tistics of population, the same proverb holds good that the unknown is all ways the magnificent, and on the sur- face of the globe we inhabit the unex- plored country is always the most mal- velous since the world began.
