The immense quantity of peanuts
grown in Africa, South America, and in
our own southern states afford not only
n pleasant article OF food, but n very
large source OF oil production. The seed
contains from 45 to 90 per cent. Of a
nearly colorless, bland, fixed oil, not I'M
like olive oil, and used for similar pur-
poses; it is a non-drying oil, which
changes but little by exposure to the air,
and remains fluid even at several de
grees colder than re degrees Fahrenheit.
A very great quantity of soap is manu-
featured from this kind Of oil; indeed,
some of the finest toilet soaps imported
from France are of this material. Chi

The celebrated Rawlins bill was amen
ded IN the council yesterday, aud shorn of
its Objectionable features. More properly
speaking. the old bill was rejected, and
the bill offered by Hon VIM DALEY, pro-
viding for a special election on the ques-
ton Of city organization for Rawlius, and
also leaving the choice Of officers to the
people. was passed and sent to the house
for concurrence Thus the legislature
generously permits the people Of Rawlins
TO decide whether they will or will not have
a city government, and who shall be the
men to administer their city affairs in case
a majority Of the voters shall declare that
they van a city charter, This is another
victory in behalf of fair play and good
government. and a recognition of the SOW

that slavery would be ended in a few

Nominally there is now one-third Of
an inch in length and one-twelfth of an
inch in width between contiguous sizes
of shoes. Thus: In women's shoes the
width i is supposed TO be 1-12th of an
broader than the width A. G is 1-Ie
inch wider than Is, and DO on, F being
usually the extreme width OF women's
shoes in general use.
But the sensitiveness Of Il portion OF
the fair sex on the subject Of wide feet
has induced many manufacturers to
label their wide goods EE. This width
is really liz broader than L. Upon the
notion of getting a close fit, also, many
ladies have got into the habit OF calling
for C and 1-2, or ID and 1-2. If such
exactness Of measurement were obtaina-
BILE it would signify that C1-2 was 1924
inch wider than @. But as a matter of
fact. no manufacturer splits his sizes as
fine as that.
Lengths OF shoes are almost as much
defnoralized as widths. The beginning
Of the scale in lengths Of shoes is a
child's 0, which should be just four
inches in length, and each additional
size should add one-third Of an inch. A
ehild's 0 being four inches in length, a
child's Q would consequently be five
inches long, and a 10 would be six and
one-third inches in length. The numbers
then begin at 1 again, which is six and
t%wo-thirds inches long. A mans 8 should
be nine inches long
But it has become 80 customary to
abridgc half a size. that when a manu-
facturer receives orders for mems shoes
IS TO los, or women's IS TO rs, he knows
very well that his customer expects 8 les
to o lbs IN one case and 9 10 to 0 les in

of oceanfwater contains about 81 worth
of gold. If the ocean has an average

Summer burglaries, once so common in
New York, have noticeably declined. This
is, doubtless, due to the extensive use
people make of the storage houses and
safe deposit vaults when they go away.
Time was when rich man had to leave
his mansion, stuffed with treasures, with
strong garrison of servants Now he
travels gayly off, secure in the possession
of an almost empty house, for which even
the negligent watchman who patrols the
block, when he does not feel sleepy, is
superfiuous The summer cottage, easy
to enter, full of valuables and commonly
unguarded, falls a much easier prey to

average rural policeman is safe not to
