Like echoing feet.
While from the diSta &C. borne on breezy wings.

How Peanuts are Prepared for Market

Peanuts to be prepared for the mar
ket are placed in ia'g cylinder, from
which they enter Il . brushes, where
every nut receives fit 'en feet of a brush
ing before il becomes free Then they
are dropped on an endless belt, passing
along at the rate Of four miles an hour
On each side of the belt stands girls, and
as the nuts fall on the belt the girls with
a quick motion Of the hand, pick out all
the poor looking nuts, allowing only the
best TO pass the crucble. Those that do
pass drop into bags on the floor below.
When the bag is filed it is sewed up and
branded as "cocks," with the figure of
the rooster branded Oh its sides. The
peas caught up by the girls are thrown
to one side, again picked over, the best
singled out bagged and branded as
'shlps. These are as fine a nut as the
first for eating, but in shape and color
do not compare with the ''cocks." The
third grade are branded as ''eagles. ="
These are picked out of the cuttings OF
the cocks and "ships." The cuttings
that are left from the ''eagles" are
bagged, sent to the top story, and what
little meat is in them is shaken out by a
patent sheller. The nuts being shelied
by this new process, the meat drops in
bags below, free from dust or dirt of any
kind, and is then shipped in 200 pound
sacks to the North, where it is bought
by the contectioners for the purpose of
making taity or peanut candy. Ii may
be here stated that ocular kind of oil
is extracted from the meat of the nut, and
in this specially large trade is done
among the wholesale druggists, There
is nothing wasted, for even the shells are
made useful. They are packed in sacks
and sold to stable keepers for horse. bed.
ding, and very healthy bed they make.

head nestled coniidingly on the shoulder
of the strong limbed, hazel-eyed young
man to whom this avowal was made. Hc
looked tenderly down on the brown
trcsses and the invisible net that bound
them to the fair forehead. Gently lifting
the beautiful face to his, he pressed {,

Turning his head away, Herbert Aims

arms around his neck, and throwing her
self madly on his shirt front.

said in mellow tones.

Why Timber was Scarce.

A writer in West Virginia paper
says that the Shenandoah Valley, when
first settled, 100 years ago, was an open,
prairie e.like region, covered with tall grass.
on which herds of deer, buffalo and elk
fed, and devoid of all timber except ON
occasional ridges; but that after il be-
came settled, trees sprang up almost as
thickly aud regularly as if seed had been
planted These forests, having been pre-
served by the farmers, cover now large
part of the surface Of the valley with
hard wood trees of superior excellence.
The explanation of this change is that
previous 10 the settlement of the valley
annual fires, negligently started by In
dians, burned up the young trees, and
prevented the formation of forests, but
with the arrival of settlers these fires
We're prevented; and the opinion is aa-
serted that the treeless character of the
Western praiIies is owing TO the Indian
practice OF annually burning the grass.
Were it not for that, dense forests would
have covered these vast plains for cen
taries

Dressy Women in Saratoga,

The lady at Congress hall with the
one hundred and thirty nine dresses, is
still astonishing the natives and the
strangers two or three times day, aud
finds her path pleasant one. There is
one prodigy here in the person of dame
who has not repeated her toilet once la
three weeks, although araying herself
in two or three different dresses daily,
and announces to her admiring satellites
that she has no maid that she would
not trust one of them. The tales of her
sixteen trunks and one room full of
wardrobes and racks of her finery, are
rot half so astonishing as the fact of
her having no neat handed Phyllis to
sort out and care for the innumerable
bonnets and boots, gloves, fans, flowers,
and furbelows that match with and ac-
company each toilet. 1t must be that
my lady lies awake nigh'a to plan the
spectacle of the coming day and tolls
when Others rest that she may surpass
the rivals in her chosen cult. A Mrs.
Greenway, of Baltimore, now reigns as
the diamond princess" of the season,
setting herself ablaze from crown to
girdle with her dazzling jewels, and
making all the other diamond wearers
in ball room pale and green with their
lax admiration. Mrs, Astor's regala is
the only famous one that surpasscs this
Baltimore collection, and it would seem
as it the lady had been in Sinbads cave
or in shower of diamonds, so thickly
do they cover her neck, arms and ittle
finger. Besides all this glitter of pre-
cious stones the gossips credit her with
possessing 800 dresses, fact that is in
tensely moulniul and truly heart trending
when 1t is remembered that water
ing-place season hardly lasts over sixty
days, and that three dresses a day for all
that time will leave ninety five gowns
