A Sad Case.

The most tragic events will present
themselves to the ordinary mind tinged
with certain personal application,
sometimes very grotesque in its express
sion. On the occasion of a recent hom-
icide which occurred at leading res
taurant in this city this fact WAS some
what ;.musing,y illustrated. A custom
er, pau>ing at the window, was adj
dressed Uy the aifable and polite
French woman who presides over the
receiving department Pale as death,
ami evidently nearly Frustrated by tue
shocKing event, she proceeded, with
Gallic volubiiiIy, To relate the harrow
inu details. Her auditor was quite in-
pressed with the sympathy exhibited,
but his appreciation was shghtly modI-
lied by thc concluding remark. Mourn
fully shaking her head and wiping the
tears from ncr bright eyes madame
added in voice trembling with emo

house was full and everybody ran out,
and oh, dear! think We lost more than
twenty dinners by it. '-.SGa frGaesseG'',

Rest for the Weary.

The public mas long suffered from
the fiendish scream of the steam
whistle, but there is a prospect of allie
Walton. Lately attention has been
turned TO this matter, and that great
remedial agent, the inventor, has per-
fected different styles OF what has been
known as a gong whistle. But some
one with the love of musical harmony
in his soul has taken a step farther in
the way of removing the offensive noise.
and produced Il musical chime whistle,
the great merit of which consists in
producing a musical chord composed
of the fl csf, third, and fifth tones of the
common musical scale. The effect of
this chord in the whistle is 10 remove
the piercing, hur;iui effect upon the
ear and ut the same time very much
enhance the carrying qualities OF the
sound, from the fact that more tones
or vibrations OF the air are produced.-

Too Sensational.

Henry James is becoming so sensa-
tional that it Injuries my nerves to read
him" said a man to friend,
SENSATIONAL" = /
Yes" !
Il have never seen anything sensa-
tional in his writings"
Haven't you? Well, read this"
The friend read the following: Lady
Snibsnob stood behind the rose-bush
and intently watched a strange-look-
ing man who lurked in the garden.
why does he lurk?' she asked herself.
why does he take off his hat and
press his hand to his browP Why did
he take the right-hand path? Why
didn't he take the left? Mercy on me,
what does he mean? Now he puts hi s
hands in his pockets. Now he takes
them out again. VIII he put them in
again? No, l think not Would that
l could fathom his deep motives. He
sits down on 4 rustic bench. WhyP
Why does he not keep on walkingP Is
he tired? No, for he arises and con-
tinues his walk. He plucks a rose.
What does he want with it? Will he
send it to hospital? No, he has
thrown it down. Ii he merely wanted
TO throw it down, why did he pluck it?
Wonder what he ate for breakfast?
Mercy on me, what is he going to doa
The girl shrieked. The man had blown
his nose"
You are right" said the friend.
"James is becoming too sensational. He
aspires to be The American Dumas. -

Peanuts.

NEARLY all the peanuts that are
brought to this market come from Vir-
ginia," said dealer "a good many
are grown in Tennessee, too; but tine
central point of the peanut raising
business, which is one of the greatest
industries of the State, though of very
recent growth, is at Norfolk, Va. In
old times-fifteen years ago-all the
peanuts were imported from Africa
The African peanuts were small and
round. the shell containing usually but
a single kernel The American pea
nut is simply the African nut modified
by the conditions of the soil in this
country. The best peanuts are hand
picked; others are thrashed out like
grain. In Norfolk there are several
factories where peanats are prepared
for the market. They are first thor
oughly cleansed and then sorted. The
bad ones are picked out by young girls,
who stand on either side of n wide re-
volving belt on which the nuts are
thrown. Afterward they are packed
in bags and shipped to the market
Peanuts have become recognized ar
ticle of commerce, and are quoted on
Change, like corn or wheat. They
sell, wholesale, at from 81 TO cents
pound. Best hand-picked fetch about
5 cents usually. Spanish peanuts. an
imported article. sell for Il higher price,
frequently as much as 20 cents Il pound.
Peanuts are frequently used to make
alleged olive oil Not more than a
fourth part of the olive oil sold in
this country is real; generally it is
made either of peanuts or cotton seed.
The only way TO distinguish peanut
from olive oil, is TO pour nitric acid in
to it. The peanut or cotton seed will
char, but the real olive oil will not.
Most of the peanuts grown in Africa
nowadays are sent to Marseilles, and
expressed for oil. The latter is sold as
low grade of olive. .'-BOStOn Herald

Une atrocit6 q ajouter aux anna.
les de p6chafaud.
HER, a Norwich, Angleterre, on
pendait un uxoricide du nom de
Goodale. Pour etre plus sur de
son fait, lie bourreau lui attacha I'm
poids de quinze livres aux pieds.
Lorsque la trappe SQUIRT, la chu
te du supplici6 tut 81 violente bien
qu'elle ne fat que dune hauteur
de six pieds, que ga tete SO s6para
du tronc aussi net que 81 ellie cut
etc tranchee dun coup de hache.
L'horreur saisit les Spectators q
la vue de cette tete ct de ce cada-
vre mutile, rougissant la tered 'un
double fot de sang.
On sen consola du mieux que
Pon put en- repetant apr6s les me-
decins que le supplici6 await moins
souffert par cette d6capitation vio-
lente que par Ia strangulation. lie
bourreau fut meme exon6r6 de
tout blame.
