The Useful Peanut.

The peanut ls a useful product
much more so, indeed, than people
imagine. Wo all know how extensive
ly it Is eaten in its roasted state, but
therein by no means lies the extent of
its value. The nut contains from AZ to
90 per cent. OF nearly colorless, bland,
fixed oil, resembling olive oil and used
for similar purposes. The best is OBJ
tanned by cold expression, but large
quantity of inferior oil is procured by
heating the seeds before pressing. 1t
IS non-drying oil, changing but slow
ly by exposure to the atmosphere, and
remaining fail in cold several de.
grees below 80 degrees Fahrenheit. 1t
contains besides oleic and palmitic
acids, two other oily aci Is, which have
been called the arachic and hypo-
t@ic, though it is doubtful if they are
really distinct. The principal con-
sumption Of the oil is in soap-making.
In 1888 Virginia began the manufac-
ture of peanut -four, th9 result being
a peculiarly palatable biscuit, while
Georgia has long made pastry of
pounded peanuts. The kernels roasted
are largely used in tho manufacture of
chocolate, while the amande de tcrre.
as has been shown, is used by the con-
fectioners. 1t is also eaten as a fruit
and roasted for coffee. "The poor
mans fruit" the peanut, is capable of
sustaining life for long time, owing to
its peculiarly nutritivo qualities, the
negroes using it alike in porri lge, Gus
tard or as a beverage. Nor does its
usefulness end here, for the vines form
a splendid fodder, as good as clover
hay, while hogs will fatton on what
they find in the fields after the crop has
been gathered.
1t is an easy crop 10 raise, the de.
mand for nuts has trebled within the
past few years, and has never vet
equaled the demand. The quantity of
peanuts used In this country may be set
down at 5000, 900 lushel5 per annum,
and this seems alarge amount; but as far
back as 1867 there were imported into
Marseilles alone from Africa more than
IS 600 600 bushels, v4lued at $5,0OO,-
600. At pr sent tho average price of
peanuts may be set down at.fyo cents
pound. So that, by setting down
Americas product as 8. 900, 600 bushels
of % pounds bushel, it represents
product valued at So, $50, 900. Ism

When the ashes of the day are cold"

While cradles are rocked and bells are

Rest.

AANGNs
Let us rest ourselves bit,
Worry l-wave your hand to it,
Kiss your finger tips; and smile
It farewell little while.
Weary of the weary way
We have come from yesterday,
Let us fret us not, instead,
OF the weary way ahead.
Let us pause and catch oNET breath
On the hither side of death,
While We see the tender shoots
OF the grasses-not the roots.
While we yet look down-not up
To seek out the buttercup
And the daisy, where they wave
Der the green home of the grave.
Let us launch US smoothly ON
ListleSs billows of the lawn,
And drift out across the main
OF our childish dreams again.
Voyage off, beneath the trees,
Der the fields enchanted seas
Where the lilies are our sails,
And our seagulls, nightingales.
Where no wilder storm shall beat
Than the wind that wave sthe wheat,
And no tempests burst above
The old laughs we used to love.
Lose all troubles-gain release,
Languor and exceeding peace,
Cruising idly DER the vast
Calm mid-ocean of the past.
Let US rest ourselves a bit,
Worry l-wave you hand to it
Kiss your finger-tips, and smile
1t farewell little while.

The Electric Lights.

We have several times mentioned
the fact and do so again, that the
city ought to own its own electric
light Plant. We believe hat it
could be put in for six or eight thous-
and dollars. and how long would it
take to pay for it at the rate they are
paying for lighting the streets now,
besides the city could light its streets
much better being able to place lights
on every street for the same expense
that it costs now for sixteen arc
lights. It is certainly a matter Of
much moment to the tax payers.
The city must be lighted and the
cheapest way and best light is what IS
wanted. The plant could be run with
the same amount of coal as it takes to
run the water works. The council
should look into the mater at least.
