THE PEANUT.
It is in no Danger Of Becoming Scarce, for
it is no Longer an OIL Producer.
NeyT VrrI Crr7

It is in no Danger OF Becoming Scarce, for
1T is no Longer an OIL Producer.
New York sun.
AsCientific journal having recently said
that the manufacture Of oil from peanuts
was destined to draw on the crop to such
an extent that the nuts would become a
scarce article of trade as a food nut in the
near future, a reporter asked a wholesale
dealer in peanuts for further information
on the subject.
"There isn't a pint of peanuts made in
to oil in this country that 1 know of, and
never will be as long as the greasy cotton
seed holds out" he said. Before they
began to make the cOtton-seed oil peanuts
were used largely in manufacturing an
oil that was used in place Of olive oil, and
during the war g great deal Of the lllum
mating lubricating oil used in the South
was made from peanuts, the entire crop
being used for the purpose. The making
of peanut oil was a very extensive indus
try IN France for many years before the
introduction Of cOttOn-seed oil, ana In
those days at least fifty per cent. Of the
oil imported by US as olive oil or pure oil
of peanut or olive oil adulterated with
peanut oil. France makes considerable
peanut oil yet, and America is the chief
buyer Of this product, and we eat 1t as
well as our cotton seed oil, when we
eat oil at all, In nine-tenths Of the res
taurants and hotels, and imagine it is the
genuine olive grease. The nut now chief
ly used in France for oil making is the
African ground-nut, which all through
tropical Africa Is largely raised and is
used, cooked or raw, as food. 1t Is export
ed in large quantities to France from
Guinea and angola. 1t Is richer in oil
by One-third than the peanut, and Is put
on the Merseilles market cheaper by half
than the American nut can be sold there.
The peanut-lover need have no fear for
the future Of the popular shell fruit"

1t is q well authenticated fact, says a
Louisiana, No, special that Peter Head
ricks' sudden death, the 18th inst, while
at work cutting ice on the Mississippi,
was fastened by exposure during two
nights IN the city cemetery while watch
ing the grave Of his nephew, COrtez
Hendricks, the boy who met an untimely
end In Noix creek, Sunday, the 1lth, by
drowning. 1t having been rumOred that
several physicians of this city had eE-
pressed the opinion that the boys body
would make a fine subject for dissection,
he having died in full health the friends
and relatives concluded to mount guard
over the grave and give the ghOuls a
warm reception. The rumOr proved IN
founded, however. Since the death of
the uncle the body Of the boy has been
disinterred, and now lies in the cellar
Of the house which once knew him when

KANSAS FARMING.
Notes and Incidents Among the Farmers OF
a, The State.

a, The State
Leavenworth Times: The past two
years have been very generous to the
farmer, but so long as history repeats
itself, a season of failure in crops is in
evitably IN the near future. Then, when
the husbandman gaZes upon his parChed
ground, upon his barren acres and upon
his starving stock, he will turn with re-
morse to the remembrance OF his past
folly, and engage an able-bOdied man to
kick him into the next State. There is
too much Of the "eat, drink and be merry
for tomorrow We may die'' element min
gled with the Western idea of progress;
and happy will be the farmer who holds
over his grain until the time of drOuth or
disaster comes, when his eighbOrs may
sit upon the front porch, and wonder
why they allowed their old crops to pass
through the chimney in CreOstic VapGE.
Simpson Sittings: There is a vast
amount Of corn and other grain sold at
Brittsville by the farmers of Summit
township, and eff cOmming events cast
their shadows before US" it is fair to
presume that the iberal-minded and
gentlemanly grain buyers Of Brittsville,
will at least be kindly remembered in
the future by the farmers of Summit
township. 1t is evident that these gen
tlemen are opposed to pooling, and are
willing to give our farmers the highest
prices paid for grain, thereby giving
them the full benefit Of competition in
the trade.
Kansas has two million and three hun
dred thousand head of cattle, or two and
one-Guarter head for every man, woman
and child in the State; fifty-tWo million
bushels Of wheat, or fifty bushels for eV-
cry inhsbitant of the State; four hun
dFed million bushels of corn, or four
hundred bushels for each and every hui
man being in the State, and about three
head Of hogs for every person IN the
State. This, with the sorghum, viii GER
tainly keep US from starving for the next
year.

A Coed Story Told by Ez-Prosidens Grant
20 an HumiIiated BOatswaia.
when was Secretary of the Navy
says Robson, "and Grant was President,
some hundreds of the sailors Of the bet
ter class came to me and asked to have
some rank given them. They didn't care
about an increase Of pay, but they wanted
relative rank.
81 couldn't do anything for them, but
they came several times, and were rather
impOrtunate, and I finally led q dslsga-
ton Of them over to the White House
and let them present their petition to
President Grant in person. They told
him what they wanted, and argued for q
redress Of their grievances, plainly but
fOrcibiy.
At last an old boatsWain came to the
front, and hitching up his trousers. and
turning over his incumbent uuid, he said:
Mr.. President, L can put this ere matter
SOS you can see it plain. Now here I be
"a parent; in fact father. My son is a

you observe? That amt right. don't you

"Indeed,' said Grant; who appointed

world is full of inequalities. I know of

"Ihe old bO'sun chuckled quietly and
gave another hitch to his lower gear.
Il know Of an old fellow said Gen.
Grant, who is postmaster of q little
town in Kentucky. He lives in a plain
way, in a small house. He is a nice old
man, bat he isn't much in rank His son
Outranks him more than your son does
you. His son lives in Washington, in

from Office In a minute if be wanted to.
But he doesn't want to. And the old

"The old bO'sun looked down at the
carpet and tried to bore a hole In it with
his toe, and his comrades all laughed at
him ioyously, and slapped him on the
back and flied out in great glee. 1t Was
the last 1 ever heard Of the petition or

In concluding, he says:


If correct In my opinion, that the cor
poTatiOns above named are legally exist
ing corporations, whose charters have
not expired, there VIII be no necessity,
or purpose to be served, by the COM
mencement and prosecution of any pro-
ceedings against them.
Corporations whose charters have ex-
PRED are subject to all the duties and
liabilities 70 the State and the public
generally that other corporations are
concerning whose existence there is no
question. If oUsted of the exercise of
corporate franchises and privileges under
these special acts the owners of the
property would undoubtedly be COM
PEELED to reincOrpOrate under the gen
eral law, but the power Of the State over
such reOTganiZed companies to the pub
lie would not be different from, or greater
than, the power of the State over the
companies as they now exist.
For this reason 1 am of the opinion
that the interests of the State and the
interests Of the public generally are as
fully protected by suffering the said cor
porations TO continue as presently exist
ing. Proceedings in quo l0Grrdnto to Dust
them from the exercise of corporate
powers would not result, In my opinion,
IN any substantial benefit to the State or
TO the public generally, and if their sew
eraI powers have not expired such pro-
ceedlngs would of course he futile.

Clay as an Orator.
Boston Budget

Boston Budget
Henry Clay, as Secretary Of State, was
the most important member of Mr.. Ad-
ANS cabinet. He had obtained his po-
sitiOn, it wac asserted, by a bargain, and
this was flung In his face with great per
tinacity by his political opponents. The
foreign policy Of the administration,
which encouraged the appointment Of
minister to represent the United States
in the Congress Of American republics at
Panama, although in accordance with
the Monroe doctrine" was denounced
as Federalism. Mr.. Clay, who had new
er been a Federalist, did not wish to be
regarded as a restOrer Of the old Federal
party, and he accordingly began to Gre
ate the Wing party, of which be natur-
ally became the leader.
Mr.. Clay made a good Secretary of
State; but his place was in Congress, for
he was formed by nature for q popular
orator. He was tall and thin, with a
rather small head and gray eyes, which
peeFed forth less VOiuminOusly than
would have been expected in one poss-
essing eminent control of language. His
nose was straight, his upper lip long, and
his under jaw light. His mouth, of gen
erous width, straight when he was si-
lent, and Curving upward at the corners
as he spoke or smiled, was singularly
graceful, indicating more than any other
feature the elastic play of his mind.
When he enchanted large audiences, his
features were lighted up by a winning
smile, the gestures of his long arms were
graceful, and the gentle accents Of his
voice were persuasive and winning.
Yet there has never been a more imper-
ious despOt, In political affairs than Mr..
Clay. He regarded himself as the head
center Of his party-"LetGt, C'est MOT
and he wanted everything utilized for
mis- advancement. The other members
Of the cabinet soon espOUsed his cause,
or became the partisans of Gen. Jackson,
and Nr. Adams found himself deserted
by those whose support he had reason TO
expect.

Her mother congratulated herselfthat
Hilda was coming to her sense at

penchant for Hal Chester.
But ali, no! Hilda's thoughts were
all of Hal, for on that Christmas night
almost four years ago, had he not
promised to dance the Danube waltz
with her?-to come back to her in four
years? Who wouldn't sing the old
songs when he would soon be asking
for them? And he would never leave
her again, for she had resolved to

years ago. All day she had been in a

the radiance died out of her face and
life forever, as borne to her ears on the

She dreamed Of the happy future
that was to be passed with him, and
when she saw smiling wives and hus-
bands with their children around
them, she blushed as she thought Of
how blest she would be with Halls
children in her arms.
She felt rs though she trod on air,
as though the world was made for her
and Hal to love each other in, and
that every human being, every living
thing, must share and rejoice in her
happiness. Life was COLDER to her,
and her loneliness became almost
radiant. Love beauties all women
