PEANUT yENDER's TALK.
The Philosophy Of Eating Peanuts-How to
Properly Prepare Them.

ssThcrc is big difference in peanuts, :"
said corner vender recently. ssSome
nuts arc large and look very fine, but
they are tasteless. No matter how care
fully they are prepared and how nicely
they are roasted they are still lacking in
al the essentials of good nut. They
are grown on soil that is deficient in
some important respect.
GA good roaster, like q good cook or
good poet, must be born with q certain
qualification that cannot be acquired by
education.
sSome dealers roast their nuts TOO
much, others roast them too little. If
they are roasted too much the oil is de-
stroyed, and nut has good deal of oil
in it. II 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 q dis
agreeable taste.
"Some dealers steam them, but that
process spoils the good favor of a nut.
Most of the nuts now sold come from
Virginia. The Eastern Shore nuts are
the best. Patrons of the peanut often
complain that they find the kernels of
the nut soft and flexible instead of being
brittle; that is because they have been
too long roasted.
eff 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
one day and then they 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 eat many; it would be better if they
didn't eat them at all. Properly roasted
peanuts are healthy for healthy people.
An ordinary peanut eater eats one
minute, which is too fast.
eyes, Isel q good many to ladies'; they
don't eat them on the street like men do.
In TACT, a really refined person don't eat
them as he walks along the street.
Newsboys and bootblacks and roughs do
that. # man has been drinking liquor
and don't wish to have the odor Of it on
his breath he cannot do better than eat
peanuts afterward. It is better than
eating mint candy or cloves. Those
things give him away. When you smell
cloves or mint on mans breath you at
once suspect him.

CLEyEaLy LET OUT OF JAIL.

James J. Russell, the most desperate
and successful horse thief in New Jersey,
who was captured in Philadelphia about
six weeks ago and brought to Salem, n.
J., on g charge Of stealing valuable
team OF race horses from Harold Smith,
of Elmer, little village about mile
north Of here, escaped from the county
jail on the night Of September l. a
confederate, supposed to be William
Bcden, another noted horse thief, broke
into the sheritf's house and stole the
sheriff7s clothes. These he put on,
hitched up the shcriif's horse and wagon
and drove around to the jail door. He
then aroused the jailcr and said he
wanted to take Russell to the Cumbcr-
land county jail at Badgeton, about tif-
teen miles distant, as he had discovered
that an attempt was to be made to lynch
the prisoner, and he must be gotten out
of the way.
The night was dark, and when Beden
handed through the bars the sheriff S
keys, which he had found in one of the
pockets of the trousers he had stolen,
the jailcr supposed everything was all
right, especially as Beden called afier
him to be sure and double handcrIf the
prisoner. A few moments aftcrward,
Russell was led out and delivered to the
supposed sheriff, who handed 4 piece of
paper to the iailer with the remark that
it was a receipt for Russell. Beden then
put Russell in the bottom of the wagon
and drove rapidly away. Jailer Harri-
son visited all the other cells to see that
everything was IN good shape if crowd
intent on lynching should appear, and
returned to his room on the second floor
of the jail. Before he went to bed
again, he looked at the paper that he
had received. On it was written:
The early bird catches the worm. It's
cold day, though, when you catch jim
Russell, and this is the first of Septem-
Der, bad time OF the year for cold days.
Yours affectionately,
BILL BEDES.
Harrison Jumped into his clothes in .
manner that would make q New York
fireman turn green with envy and ran
around to the sheriff7s house. In his
eagerness to see that worthy he broke
open the front door before it was un
locked. The sheriff was in bed sound
asleep. He was awakened and heal ID
the story. The first thing he did was
to reach for his clothes, which he had
left on the chair at the head of his bed
They were gone. Fifteen minutes time
was lost looking for them. Then the
sheriff swore and put on his Sunday
clothes. Next he went to his stable to
get his horse. That was gone. He ther
appointed the jailer a committee OF one
to go and borrow g horse. BY the time
all this was done the thieves had twc
hours start. Not very long, maybe, but
Just long enough to make good thei!
escape. To-day al the farmers for ter
miles around are out looking for the
fugitives with shctguns.

While was with the wolf-bitten sub |
jects Of the Ozar, present Of tea came
into them from the Russian ambassador,
and then set of artists who were deputed
TO photograph them for an illustrated
paper of st. Petersburg. One of the
finest men 1 ever saw was peasant
coachman In his prime, who, TO save
woman from the jaws of the wolf, en-
gagged in an epic struggle with the rabid
animal. did not know what his ante
cedents were when he entered, and was
so struck with his quietly resolute air
and lordly carriage that asked whether
he also was a nobleman in difficult cir
cumstances. He saw the wolf on the
woman, and went up to seize it by the
scruii of the neck, knowing that if he
did 30 It would relax its hold to turn on
him. He meant to hold it in such way
that it conld not bite him until he or
somebody else could kill the brute, but it
was too quick for him aud caught him by
the left arm. He seized the neck with the
right hand, and, getting astride ON the wolf
pressed u down with all his weight on the
ground snd then got knee firmly on its
loins. When the brave Moujik coach
man, with his left arm ,,ll the time in the
mad VOLTS NAV, was kneeling on the
animal, he saw hatchet and called to the
owner to give 1t to him. but the feeling Of
avarice prevailing in the latter, he cried,
s'No, mo; II do, the skin will be spoiled"
The unconscious hero then stretched out
his right hand 10 seize the implement, in
doing which he had to relax the pressure
of his knee, which enabled TO wolf to
seize the other arm. His left arm was
nearly dead from pain, loss of blood and
injuries inflicted on the muscles, which
are badly lacerated, but he resolved that
either he or his rabid adversary should
perish, and making supreme effort, goi
Il between his knees, with which he held
the body tight, threw himself forward,
clutched the Ratchet, half raised himself
and with the left hand inflicted such G
blow on the neck and shoulders as tx
cleaye the body in twain. What was re
markable In him was that he did not seen
TO know he was worthy of any sort of ad
miration. 1t is also noteworthy that hi
companions who described the fight die
not elect the hero of it their head mar
when they were coming to Paris. Hi
wounds were hideous, and the flesh of tn,
right arm was in rags.

Chicago Herald.
The card-loving classes have new
game which bids fair to pin progressive
euchre to the wall. II is decidedly the
jolliest game of cards yet invented. II is
called Hearts," and was brought from
New York fewago by the urbane George
Taylor, commercial tourist of renown,
who can sometimes be found around the
Columbia Theatre. Hearts is some
what similar to whist, except that the
essential element of the game is to have
no hearts left in your hand or in the tricks
that you may have captured at the con-
clusion ofithe game. The cards are dealt
There is no trump-the idea of each
the hearts he may have and avoid
of his neighbors. In the effort to do this
consists the fun. Amy whist player can
see how easily he can be loaded up with
his neighbors' hearts if he have long suits
OF other cards or high cards of any kind.
AT the conclusion of the playing the
player who has been saddled with the
fewest hearts rakes in the pot, which is a
chip for each heart-or 10 in all. One
beauty of the game is that, unlike whist
one can chatter and talk and the dreadful
struggle to avoid capturing hearts lead
to no end of merriment. George Taylol
has lately formed ladies' class for in
struction in the game down on Michigan
avenue, and several other classes ar,
forming on the West Side. The game o
Hearts" will soon be craze-especiall,
among the ladies, for whom it has grea
fascination.

Prejudice is hard to combat. 1t cannot be
overcome in day. More than likely it wasn't
formed hastily. Indeed it may have been
gradually Strengthening its hold for years.
Forinstance, some folks believe Rheumatism
cannot be cured. Their fathers believed SO
before them. So did their grandfathers:
Now, RHEUMATISM CAN BE
CURED, notwithstanding this prejudice,
but the trouble is to make people think SO.
The only wayne know to meet popular un-
belief is to state the PLAIN FACTS, and
then present the POSITIVE PROOFS
that they are facts. 1t is fact that the
RUSSIAN RHEUMATISM CURE
not only relieves but banishes Rheumatic
Pain. There is positive proof Of it too. 1t
comes from those who have suffered untold
agony with Rheumatism and have been COM
pletely cured by this remedy. Allwho have
tried it have had this experience. Some OF
them permit us to print their testimony. 1t
