APeanut yender.s Talk.

There is q big difference in pea
nuts said q corner vender the other
day. Some nuts are large and look
very fine, but they are tasteless. No
matter how carefully they are prepared
and how nicely they are roasted, they
are sill lacking in all the essentials of
a good nut They are grown on soil
that is deficient in some important re-
spect.
"A good rooster, like a good cook or
good poet, must be born with certain
qualification that can not be acquired
by education.
''Some dealers roast their nuts too
much, others roast them too little. If
they are roasted too much the oil Is
destroyed, and a nut has good deal of
oil in it If they are not roasted enough
or if they are roasted over slow fire
the oil is not properly brought out and
they are not good; in fact. they have 4
disagreeable taste.
''Some dealers steam them, but that
process spoils the flavor of 4 nut Most
of the nuts now sold come from Vir-
ginia. The eastern shore nuts are the
best. Patrons of the peanut often COM
plain that they find the kernels of the
nut soft and flexible instead of being
brittle; that is because they have been
too long roasted.
''lf you want to get a nut at its best
you should eat it half an hour after it
has been roasted. They are good for
the day and then become stale. Some
people like them hot but they are bad
for the teeth; besides, they have not yet
acquired their proper taste. People
who are inclined to be dyspeptic should
not cat many; it would be bettel if they
didn't eat them at ALL Properly roasted
peanuts are healthy for healthy people.
An ordinary peanut-eater eats one a
minute, which is too fast
Eyes, l sell good many to ladies,
but they don't eat them ON the street like
men do. In fact, really refined person
doesn't eat them as he walks along the
street Newsboys and bootblacks and
roughs do that. If man has been
| drinking liquor and doesn't wish to
| have the odor of it on his breath he can
not do better than eat peanuts after
ward. 1t is better than mint candy and
cloves. Those things give him away.
When you smell cloves or mint on a
mans breath you at orce suspect him.

Swiss Honey.

One thing that travelled Americans
are likely to remember, because it is the
sole article they ever get abroad without
paying for it, is Swiss honey, At near
" every inn in the little republic honey
is always on the breakfast table, and
you may eat as much as you like with
out cost. Generally strained, it is fire.
quently called virgin honey, which It is
not. Most of our countrymen have al
ways been taught to believe that it is
pure, the mnch boosted but rarely dis
covered honesty of the Swiss being re-
garded as a guarantee of its purity. 1t
is now declared. and is doubtless true,
that Swiss honey is almost invariably
made of glycerine and pear julce-not
so bad as are many authorizations. As
this has been one Of the things in which
we have had complete faith, the dis
covery will have tendency to shatter
the little confidence we have left. Swiss
honey, however, is not injurious, for
which, perhaps, we should be thankful.
1t is not like the famous honey of Trebi-
zond, which is positively poisonous.
causing severe headache and nausea.
Xenophon, in his "Anabasis," describes
it rs producing the effect of temporary
madness on the whole army. Recent
travellers in that valley have observed
the same consequences, and ascribe It to
the rhododendron, Of which the bees
there are very fond. Swiss honey a

1924, more than wiping out the Repub-
lean loss in Milwaukee.
The returns from the legislative con-
tests are incomplete, but a Republican
majority is assured.
In Illinois the Republicans are sup
posed to have gained one Congressman,
while the Labor men have elected one
or two in place of Democrats. The Re-
publican state ticket will have about
$4,000 plurality.
The Legislature is very much mixed.
From the very incomplete returns OBJ
tanned from the districts outside OF
Chicago the Republicans appear to
have the advantage, but the possibility
of the election of two Socialist Senators
and several members of the House in
Chicago places the political complexion
of the new General Assembly in doubt.
1t looks now as if the Labor party would
at least hold the balance of power, but
complete returns may give the Assem-
bly, to the Republicans.
In New York City, Hewitt, Democrat,
is elected mayor, with Henry George,
Labor candidate second.

Economy in Fuel.

am reminded of another practice
