Hooked up closely to examine the

the face, my God! it was the very face

Two years after this l went to New

After their first meeting he went to

really to watch and study the horrible
life of this young creature. He gained
her confidence and learned the terrors

too bad, too horrible for repetition.
The girl had kept her purity. but she
said sadly to me, II wonder if all the
love and tenderness of my husband

The Peanut.

The peanut is supposed to be native
of Africa. The nuts are produced on
that continent in great quantities and
constitute not unimportant article OF
the natives daily food. They are also
grown in France and Spain, where they
are for the most part turned into oil
used in the manufacture of soap. They
have also been ground into flour, but
the bread is heavy and unpalatable,
besides being expensive.
In this country the good peanut states
are Virginia, North Carolina and Ten
nessee. The crop in good year
amounts to about 100000 bushels or
100000 pounds! having grown 10
these portions from an output of less
than 10000 bushels in 1873. Arkansas
and Kansas are also peanut growing
states, but their product is of an infer
ior quality and cannot be sold against
the Virginia nut. California produces
a good crop, but the soil is so rich that
the peanut grows large and rank, with
a shell so thick that it seriously affects
the roasting process. The states first
named may therefore be considered the
sole producers of peanuts for the mar
ket. So important has the peanut be-
come that in some sections of the three
states it is the principal crop and chief
reliance of the farmer.
In the United States all peanuts
grown are for eating purposes. Table
oil made from them was put on the
market few years ago, but owing to
the expense did not succeed in holding
its own against other oils made from
cheaper vegetables
The peanut vine is a plant similar to
the sweet potato. The most remark
able feature is that when the flower
falls the stalk supporting the small un-
fruit lengthens and, bend
ing toward the ground, pushes the fruit
into the ground when it begins to en-
large and ripen.-Post- Dispatch.

If there is such thing in existence
as schOOl-teacher's note book con-
tanning the unintentionally funny say
ings of children, the melancholy man
would do well to borrow it for the
solace of his dull hours. The remark
of little girl, that ''the earth is round
Like an apple, and the North Pole
sticks ont of the top and makes tho
STEM" should doubtless be included
among its gems, together with the fol-
lowing anecdote, told by an old school
teacher, in the San Franciso Examiner:
When was country pedagogue in
the state Of Maine, was one day hear
ing my class in spelling, and gave out
the word "cuticle," to big red-haired
girl. Slowly she drawled out
ecu, Gu, ii, cuti, Gle, cu-tick le.
I corrected her pronunciation, and
asked her to define the word. sbe
looked about blankly, as if in search
for something to spur her memory, and
after q moment or two of silence Isaii:
1Why, what is it that covers your
hands and face?"
She looked quietly at each hand, and
her face frightened.
@Oh, yes," she replied, afreckles."

A Boa Eats q Rabbit.

Three corpulent rabbits of Belgian
breed were Gagged in a soap box quietly
awaiting their fate. They were the meal
for which the snake was anxiously
awaiting. He had not tasted meat in
four months and his vOracious nav
yawned like a bottOmless pit for the un-
fortunate trio in the soap box. Man.
ager Bell appeared and drew forth one
of the rabbits. After stroking bunny"
on the back for a moment he opened
the door to the snakes den and thrust
him in. The huge boa had coiled him
self up in corner, but at once reused
himself for action. He was fully twelve
feet long, and having recently shed his
winter coat his skin glistened and
shone like satin. He raised his head q
foot or SO from the floor and viewed
the first course of his Guadri- annual
meal.
The rabbit showed no signs of fear.
but rather seemed to enjoy his new
quarters. The snake slowly lowered his
head and cautiously began to stretch
himself along the side of the den. He
never once took his eyes off the rabbit,
which was still unconscious of his dan
ger. Suddenly the rabbit began to act
strangely and to cut all sorts of ridicu-
lOus capefs. He would leap hack and
forth over the snake and then rub up
against it, and appeared to be fascinat-
ed Slowly and stealthily the snake
turned his head about until it was with
in foot of the rabbits launches.
Then, quick as flash, he darted for
ward, seized the rabbit in his mouth
and in another instant there was moth
ing to be see of the little animal save
the tips of his ears, which protruded
from between the folds of the snake.
The huge serpent then raised his head
full two feet from the floor, darted out
his fOrked tongue and hissed horribly at
the motley group watching him. If
there was any struggle on the part of the
rabbit it was not visible. The snake
had him in his awful coils. Then the
coils slowly, but with : strength which
was terrible to look ut, began to tighten
till every bone in the poor rabbits body
must have been broken. This done the
coils relaxed, and the limp, lifeless body
of the spOrtive rabbit of a few moments
before lay ready to be swallowed. First
the serpent nOsed his victim all over.
The eyeballs of the dead rabbit were
protruding from their sockets, and by
way of beginning the hOa licked them
with his tongue. Once more he cOiled
about his victim, leaving its head and
shoulders free. Then he opened his
monstrous jaws and, taking "bunny's"
head therein began to swallow. Soon
the head and shoulders were out of sight.
and in less than fifteen minutes the
hind legs followed.-Chicago Inter-

joining lands of Mr.. Houghton into al

the purchasers OF lots. Mr.. Houghton has
plenty OF means at his disposal and he
needs only to be assured of a safe return
for his investment to induce him to i'm
prove and develop his properties here
These matters will be discussed on
Mr.. Days returns, and, il considered ia
vorable, active operations viii con mence
Immediately to put them into execution.
Mr.. Day is most iavorably impressed with
the magnificent climate OF 5 lnta te, Its
fruit-growing possibilities, etc, and pre-
diets that when these facts are known
and appreciated by many eastern people,
santa Fe will become the greatest SAM
tarium resort in the west He regrets
very much, the result Olthe late vote on
the state constitution and believes the
citizens of New Mexico have made great
mistake in not voting for admission to
become state. This he says would have
been readily accepted by congress, as an
indication of desire of our people for
progress and improvement and, there
would have been no doubt but that New
Mexico would have been admitted by
congress during the winter session. What
New Mexico greatly needs in the opinion
of eastern people is an early settlement OF
the land grant titles. The question
settled, immigration would begin to flow
into the territory; the agricultural, mlh
eral and other great resources ami in
terests wonld be stimulated to much
greater activity, and Santa Fe would re-
celve as the capital an impulse that
would make her the leading city in the
southwest. He urges upon the citizens
of Santa Fe city corporation. which
would bring Improvements desirable to
eastern people, such rs neat, clean
streets, well lighted at night, either by
gas or electric lights; better ASSESS
ment of property and more complete
collecting of taxes, besides lesser tax
rate. The lack of these Improvements
are frequently commented upon in an
unfavoratle light by eastern people who
visit Santa Fe and very much to the Diet
riment of the town.
Mr.. Day assures the New MEXICAN of
his interest in the welfare of Santa Fe,
and promises to present the matter OF
the improvements and development OF
the HoughtOn lands in as favorable a
light as possible to MIR. HoughtOn on his
return to Boston with the recommends
ton that the time has now arrived Tor
