THE PEANUT.

An article in the Indiana Farmer
sets forth that the consumption OF
peanuts in this country amounted to
100000 bushels of the crop of last
season, and the consumption of the
crop of the present season promises
to much exceed that number of bush
els. The firm hold that the peanut
has secured on the palate of the
American citizen is something sur
prising, for according to reliable
authority, there are hundreds of far
mers in Virginia, North Carolina and
Tennessee (the states in which most
of the peanuts grow, who plant
nothing save corn and peanuts, and
yet the demand falls far short of
being fully supplied.
The peanut singly, continues our
contemporary, is a light and airy tri-
fe, but in numbers it is vast re-
source of agriculture and commerce.
Its food properties are great, there
being a rich, precious oil in every
kernel. During the peanut harvest
the people, the pickaninnies, the
chickens, pigs and nearly everything
that eats, gets fat in the land of the
peanut. Peanuts are planted at
complaining time; each kernel
brings running yine-like top, which
by means of runners sent down, pro-
duces immense numbers of nuts in |
the soil about the hill. just before
time for frost the crop is plowed up
and shocked, vines and all, to dry,
after which the nuts are picked off
at leisure.
Baltimore distributes 100000 bush
els or little less than one-fourth of
the entire crop, controlling the goods
that go to Pennsylvania, West Vir-
ginia, Ohio, Michigan and Mime
sofa. New York gets her supply
from Norfolk. The Virginia nut is
the largest and finest. The Wilm-
ington is a smaller sort, and the
Spanish nut is still smaller variety.

CHANGES.

That changes should occasionally
enter our lives is no more wonderful
than the regular variations which
the laws of time and of growth IN
fold. We cannot foresee what they
will be or when they will come, but
the life that passes without any of
them is the exception and not the
rule. All our reading of history, all
our observation of life, all our own
experience testify to the certainty of
change. Our particular hopes or
fears may not be realized, but in
some way and at some time we may
be sure our surroundings, our cir
cumstances, our lives will be altered
more or less radically. This being
so, it should be a part of all educa-
ton, and especially of all self-culture,
to become so fortified against them
that they may not find US powerless
and untitled to meet them as they
come. Instead Of supposipg that
every to morrow will be as to-day,
we should bear in mind the great
likelihood that it may be quite diff
ferent, and thus remembering we
shall not be utterly dazed and be-
wildered if change comes. This
sill Id US also to reflect upon the
na.' qualities for such emergen
.rs b. faculties 70 be then call
ed / the wisdom that Will then
b a. If d. The foe openly faced
,.e- II its terrors, and the changes
frankly admitted to be possible will
ose their power to overwhelm us.

IT is gratifying to know that here
after one may be quietly buried with
out fear of being buried alive. New
York has erected a mausoleum where
it is proposed to preserve the bodies
on the ancient Egyptian plan. If a
supposed corpse revives all he has
to do is to touch a button and the
call boy will come, help him on with
his every day clothes, bring hot
water, shaving material and a cock
tail, and the patron of the mausoleum
is ready, after his temporary retire
ment, to take his place again in the
busy walks of life. Truly this is an
age of progress.

In the Ninth Annual Conference
of he A. NJ. E. church in session
recently at Austin Bishop Grant,
abiding to the separate coach law
said: "There is a man going
through our state organizing our
people into bodies to leave the state
on account of that law, for fear
matters would be worse for the
colored people in Texas" 1t was
grating, he argued, to be thus put
on review in the cars, but he hoped
for the better, since Governor Hogg
had the backbone to issue his proc
lamation offering $1,000 reward for
the conviction of the men who muir
dered negro"

AMONG the noteworthy things DIR.
Oscar LEM saw when he travelled
through Morocco a while ago where
two little rivers that once a year, at
the time of the greatest heat, are fill
ed with red water. 1t is supposed
that the color comes either from
strata of red clay through which the
streams mist pass, or from myriads
of little red organisms.

The hot water boxes are to be
taken out of the French railway car
riages and warmth is to come from
boxes filed with acetate of soda.
The boxes are filled with soda in a
solid state, which is liquifed by be-
ing plunged into hot water. AS it
solidifes, which takes five or six
hours, it steadily gives out heat.

ACCORDING to the Irrigation Age
the average prosperity of The arid
region exceeds that of any other
section of the United States. There
is no other place where a mans
living is so sure. There is no other
place where so little is subtracted
from the total product of labor by
reason of crop failures or other dis
asters. The arid region exhibits
more beauty of Landscape, both
natural and acquired, than any other
part of the earth we know anything
about. While all these things are
true, it is also a fact that our people
do not make the most Of their posi-
bilities. The Age expects that the
great growth of the next ten years
will be in this region. 1t expects
that the wealth of the people here
will be multiplied over and over
again; first, by the reclamation of
waste lands, ROW under ditch, as the
result of a largely increased demand.

THERE is an increasing demand for
long-staple cotton. The Boston
journal of Commerce, noticing this
fact, and that 100000 in gold was
paid last year for imported E yptian
cotton, said: eve have here an in.
crease of 143 per cent. in the imports
of cotton, the demand for which
should be supplied by the Allen and
other long-stapled varieties grown
in the Southern States" In the
same connection the Charleston
News and Courier suggested that the
sauce of protection might be as
savory with the Southern goose as
with the Northern gander, and in
qured why prohibitory duty on
fine foreign cotton might not work
the same profitable results for the
South that the duty imposed on
Sumatra tobacco had for the tobacco
growers of the Connecticut valley.
All of which was good common
sense.

MORE trouble is expected in Zen
nessee. The legislature failed to
dispose of the convict lease system
satisfactorily, and the governor is
forced to enforce the law as he finds
it. Under these laws the convicts
should go back to the mines and be
kept there, if it takes the whole pow
er of the State to do it. This we do
not believe the miners are going to
stand. The men who ran the con.
victs out once are not going to let
them come back again without
sturdy resistance. They have made
up their minds that the State shall
not work, or suffer to be worked, the
convicts in competition with them.
and they have shown that they will
not halt at extra-iudicial and extra
legal methods to carry out that res
olution. Look out for more trouble
III Tennessee if the resolution has
been taken to return the convicts to
the mines.
