A PEANUT YENDER's TALK.
The Philosophy OF Eating Peanuts-How to
Properly Prepare Them.

"There is big difference in peanuts, -
said corner vender recently. stSome
nuts are 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 i'm
all the essentials of q good nut. They
are grown on soil that is deficient in
some important respect. K
ga good rOaster, like o good cook or
good poet, must be born with o certain
qualification that cannot be acquired by
education.
"Somo dealers roast their nuts too
much, others roast them too little, IF
they arc roasted too much the oil is de-
stroyed, and nut has a good deal of oil
III 1T. If they arc not roasted enough,
or II they arc roasted over o slow fire tho
OIL Is not properly brought out and they
arc not good; i'll fact, they have dis
agreeable taste.
"Some dealers steam thom, but that
process spoils the good flavor of O. nut.
Most of the nuts now sold como 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 nut at it's best
you should cat it half an hour after it
has been roasted. They are good for
ono day and then they become stale
Somo people like them hot, but thoy are
bad for the teeth, besides, they have not
yet acquired their proper taste. People
who arc inclined to be dyspeptic should
not eat many; it would be better if thew
didn't eat them at all. Properly roasted
peanuts arc healthy for healthy people,
An ordinary peanut eater eats one q
minute, which is too fast.
eyes, 1 sell good many to ladies; they
don't eat them on the street like men do.
In fact, really refined person don't eat
them as he walks along tho street.
Ncwsboys and bootblacks and roughs do
that. If a man has been drinking liquor
and don't wish to have the odor Of it on
his breath ho cannot do better than eat
peanuts aftcrward. 1t is better than
eating mint candy or cloves. Those
things give him away. When you smell
cloves or mint on a mans breath you at
once suspect him."

The Bath Tub OF nIRrat,

Roles Of tho famous men of the past
are always valuable property, SO that
1t is not very surprising that the bath in
which Jean Paul Marat met his death at
the hands of Charlotte Corday on the
18th day of July, 1893, should recently
have fetched the sum of yG200 Mt Vannes,
in Brittany. 1t seems to have been-
strange to relate-in the possession OF
priest, though it would naturally be ox-
pected that no ordained member OF tho
Catholic Church would keep in his
house for IN hour any object connected
with SO notorious a monster OF cruelty
and atheism as Marat. But by some
means or other this peculiar heirloom
found its way into the hands of the
Brittany cure, and its sale has attract
ed considerable attention throughout
France. There is to be museum of
antiquities connected with the French
Revolution at the approaching exhibi-
ton in Paris, which is itself intended to
celebrate the centenary Of that tre-
mondous outbreak; and our Gallo
neighbors seem to think that Marat's
historic bath ought to be secured at all
costs as an eXhibit.-London Daily Tele.

ST. LOUIS, July 13.-The situation ut

will conduct their business without inter
ference or dictation from any body Of
men. A force of thirty-fve deputy sheriffs
constantly guard the mines.
The plantation negroes brought from
Kentucky last week, take the strikers
places. remained at work unmolested until
yesterday, when the white miners to the
nnmber of 200, armed with rifles, shotguns,
revolvers and clubs, marched in body to
the mines and demanded of the negroes
that they return from whence they came.
After an extended parley, during which
the most intense excitement prevailed, the
colored men marched to Danyille, some
miles distant, WHARF they will consider
carefully the ACCESSIBILITY of going at work.
In the meantime, the mines are idle and
the strikers jubilant Should the negroes
decide to return and fulfill their contracts
with the operators, riot and bloodshed will
undoubtedly ensue.

Upon an Old Lady In the sixth Ward Yes
terday Morning.
Just after midnight yesterday morning
the house of John Halpin, night watch
man at Swceney's foundry, situated on
Market street, between Twenty-sixth and
Twenty seventh, was broken into by res
dent of the Sixth ward, who made das-
tardly assault upon Mrs. Halpin, who is
an old and helpless lady. He previously
visited the foundry to see if Mr..
Halpin was ON duty, and find
ing that he was, he went
to his residence and gained an entrance by
breaking q lock of one of the doors. His
intention evidently was to rob Mr. Halpin,
rs that gentleman had OH Monday received
his pay, and the burglar supposed he had
left it nj home.
When he gained access to the house the
villain Immediately went to Mrs. Halpin's
bedroom no doubt supposing that the
money was under her pillow, and his first act
was to lay violent hands upon her. When she
resisted he struck her several times in the
mouth, knocking out two or three teeth.
After this he ch0ked her to prevent her
from calling for help.
He did not succeed in securing any
money and a. he was leaving the house he
was recognized by Mrs. Halpin and several
ladies, whom he requested not to give him
away. Mr.. Halpin yesterday morning
swore out a warrant before Justice W. II.
Davis, for the party suspicioned
charging him with having committed the
assault and attempted burglary. The war
rant was given into the hands of Officer
Stephens, who had not been able to find
his man up to late hour last evening,
and it is probable he has skipped the

are fifty-four tamerics, and they employ
on an average twenty tanners. The strike
includes iourneymen, teamsters and
Others.
There are only three places, so far as
known, where the notice was not posted.
The men all went TO the shops this morn
ing at seven o'clock. The bosses were all
present In shops where they had been in
the habit OF beginning work At six O'Clock
they were refused admission, and in Others
they found notices posted and left. The
result is that over three thousand men are
now idle Both sides are firm.

aid you in any way to secure the appoint
