Emerson at Home.

In 1874, Emerson wrote 10 friend in
Boston: much the best society | have
ever known is a club in Concord called the
Social Circle consisting always of twenty
five OF our citizens, doctor, lawyer, farm
err, trader, miller, mechanic, etc, solidest
OF men, who yield the solidest Of gossip.
Harvard University is wafer conn pared

sent" II was for this "Sooial Circle" OF
which IL has been the practice ITO pre-
serve in it's book as true picture rs may
be of the life of each departed member"
that Mr. Edward Waldo Emerson wrote
the familiar account Of his father now
published under the title of "EmersOn in
Concord" (BOstOn: Houghton, NJ film d.
Coz The book in no way oOupetes with
Cabots Life OF Emerson, but is supple
mentary TO that work, appealing more iii
reetly TO those who we're so fortunate az
20 come into personal contact with the
Concord lecturer and essayist. IL Is
somewhat rambling collection of person
al reminisoe nces aud extracts from the
journals, yet presenting, upon the whole,
very clear picture OF EmersOn's person
atty from the standpoint Of one familiar
with his daily life.
Such a book AZ this il best described by
extracts. We have not space for many,
but the two which we have chosen will
illustrate, pectively, Emerson's graver
and tighter moods. In 1916, writing on
the slave question, he peLned these noble
and memorable words: "If IL should turn
out as des pouding men say, that our peo-
pie do not really care whether Boston Is
a slave port of not, provided our trade
thriges, then We may at least cease TO
dread hard times and ruin. IL Is nigh
time our bad wealth came to an end

Of suffering in the ruin OF such a pros
perity, and shall very willingly turn TO
the mountains 90 chop wood and seek 70

other passage 10 not by Emerson but
about him. "He enjoyed wit AZ his own
expense, and was most amused IN hear
that the audience that assembled 10 hear

Alloxiug bushes to grow in q pasture
may be excusable, but there appears TO
be no excuse for allowing them to grow
in moving or cultivated fields. II there
is anything that detracts from the APP
pearanoe of n farm, IL Is having the sides
by the walls and fences covered with u
growth of weeds. We have been past
farms, where, in conseqence Of sprouts,
bushes and weeds, il Was almost impos-
sible to even get a glimpse OF the field 1t
bordered, even though 10 was clear be
yond. Where such cases exist there l.
need OF reform, and there is no better
season of the year in which TO perform
the labor of cleaning away the nuisance
tha1 the winter. Old hedge rows can be
cut down, the brush piled up and burned
and the Improvement in the looks Of the
field will more than pay for all the labor
required. This condition In cultivated
fields il quite frequently the result Of
negligence during the period OF cultiva-
ton. II IL hardly possible with the pillow
TO break mp the sod close 30 a fence or
wall, and IN far too many Instances this
narrow strip il allowed to remain un-
touched during the entire period # cul-
tivation, and il the very place where
foul weeds will lodge and finally Rermin-
ate, and We hardly ever had a field left IN
that way, but that IL became pretty we'll
started with fonl growth Of rank weeds
aud bushes. Although il requires a
little extra labor at first 10 accomplish
it, it il usually well to grub Opt from the
fence, and especially so by the sides Of
walls alt that cannot be upturned by the
pillow, 40 that the entire surface Of the
held may be cultivated and kept clean.
Then when seeded down there will be no
unsightly hedge rows left 20 be cut at
some more convenient season. There is
yet force in the old saying, "a stitch in

they will be light, and a standard meas
ured bushel Will either weigh more or
less than the Standard weight A good
product sold by weight is often sold at a
loss Ia this respect when measured out.
while If the product Is of the poorer
quality the buyer will be the loser.
With good scales, the fairest way for
the buyer aud seller ia TO weigh. If the
product Is OF good quality the buyer
and seller fare equally well, as the buyer
gets what he has bArgained for and the
seller gets the benefit of the better quail
ity OF his product. There Is ltss oppor
tunity for fraud in weighing, and If prop.

There is a popular impression that pea
nuts are iudigestible, but have never
found them so unless they were too much
roasted or had been roasted many days
before. When too much cooked or when
stale, they certainly are indigestible, but
when carefully roasted and fresh, they
promote digestion, They should be eaten
shortly before going to bed and not more
than half pint should be taken. They
should be roasted Def re they are shelled

half pint of shelled nuts would not be

II is claimed that the the recently con
strncted San Diego fame IL the most
stupeuduus ever constructed IN the world
being only a little short OF 20 miles long
An idea of the gigantic character Of the
work may be obtained from the fact that
the amount OF lumber consumed was
more than 100000 feet, or allowing the
very considerable yield OF 1000 feet TO
each tree or not less than 5000 trees were
required. In the course of dumo there
are some 3l5 trestles the longest Of these
being !, 700 feet in length, 50 feet high
aud containing one quarter of million
feet of lumber. Another tres,le is Of
the same height and 200 feet long, the
main timbers used ID both of these being
1Oxl0 and Sx8, being put together on the
ground and raised 70 their position by
horse power. The number OF tunnels IN
the course of the hume Is eight the long
est OF which is 2 100 feet, the tunnels be
ing in size 6r6 feet, with convex shaped
roofing; each mile Of the hume required
an average Of one-tOurth of million
feet OF lumber for its construction, and
