Queen ViciOria's Expected Visit
10 Italy.
Letter from Rome.l
49,

Letter from Rome.l
Queen Victoria is coming to Men
tone about tie 18th or 18th Of March,
having been ordered by her physicians
to take complete rest for a few weeks
from the arduous duties of her posi-
ton, and, if, possible, in a mild South
ern climate. The royal lady is much
liked and respected in Italy, and some
regret is felt that she should pause at
Mentone, which is now no longer,
alas, Italian ground, and should not
come still further South. During her
%sojOurn on the Italian lakes, some two
years back, Queen Victoria and her
youngest child won all hearts in the
neighborhood Of the retired little
town of Baveno, where they stayed,
and seemed to delight in nothing more
than in walking about almost unat.
tended and conversing with the poor
people in the neighborhood.
The Queen is, as we all know. a
very good linguist, and | remember
laughing heartily at the description of
an old boatman on the Lago Maggiore,
who, thinking to give the highest
praise to Queen Victoria's Italian,
said: Ma, parla come mel" C'She
speaks as well as | do!') He speaking
the broadcast patois of the District
dialect which showed that the royal
lady had really a very accurate con
versatiohal knowledge Of the language
to enable her to understand him at all.

HOW THE WAR BROUGHT THE PEA
NUT INTO PROMINENCE.

Norfolk is now the largest peanut
market in the world, except Mar
settles, France. and the peanut trade
here has grown to be an important
feature of our commerce. Besides
numerous commissio houses, where
they are handled, we have two large
cleaning establishments which en-
ploy some two hundred hands and
have capacity for cleaning about
one thousand bushels per day. The
cleaning process is simple. The
peanuts are first placed in a large re-
volving drum, which takes off the
dirt and the rough surface. Thence
they are passed through brushes
which polish the surface and finally
over a series of canvass strips in
motion, about which q number OF
hands stand and assott them as they
come along, picking out the faulty
oAes and allowing the choice peas to
find their way into bags.
The peanut is native OF Africa,
though it has never had the advant
age of an emancipation act and is
still bought and sold as a CONNER
cial commodity. 1t has, however.
materially improved it's condition by
coming to a civilized country and is
now much larger and daintie- than
it's African brother, Or, let US say,
progenitor.
The African article was once
largely imported to this country, but
it is no longer favorite with US and
an invoice of African peas shipped to
New York last year was not market
able. The variety now finds its
, market in Marseilles. where it and
the Indian cotton seeds are manufac-
tured into olive Oil and imported to
this country SO that in point of fact
the African pea does fiud its way to
America still.
