A Summer Resort.

The Cape May wave answers the
query, What is a summer resort?D
asked by a Western contemporary, as
follows: "a resort is usually made
up of hotels, except those places where
the people live in tents. People come
to resorts to get as much as possible
and pay the smallest possible price for
it. Hotels are not established for fun.
When you see it advertised that the
board is nothing, and your society is
solicited, don't believe it. Everybody
is after the hard, cold cash, and hence
the boniface is determined to get
way down into your little savings.
Resorts, except Cape May, are great
factors in building up the science of
medicine, in keeping undertakers busy
and the hospitals well supplied. A
resort like Cape May is place where
a man or woman. with common horse
sense, can accumulate sufficient energy
and vitality during the summer outing
to last them the rest of the year
There is no doubt that the manner in
which some people behave at the sum-
mer resorts will make them account
able for their own deaths in the day
Of reckoning"

four bushels per acre the past season is
that most farmers have tried to save
the seed from more acres than they
could handle properly. Four acres
saved in a peach orchard by my own
careful management turned out 2S
bushels of seed and l think one-third
of the seed grown on the four acres
was wasted, as it is impossible to save
more than tWO-thirds of the seed in an
orchard. But consider that the saw

part of the value to be derived from
this clover. There is quite a good

should be double the supply this sea.

Mistaken Confidence.

The attorney prosecuting in breach
OF promise case was youthful and fresh
and delighted in showing himself off
but he didn't know what a guv he
was until it fell on him with a dull
and sickening thud. The defendant
had taken the stand.
You say" said the attorney. after
several impertinent questions. "that

Now as matter of fact, didn't you

always after that, when you knew YOU
should have called her Miss Smith. il
you had not been seeking to win her
young and trusting heart?"
No, sir, I did not"
The plaintiff pulled the attorney's
sleeve, but he paid no attention to her.
"Ah, indeed" ," very sarcastically. II
presume you never called her Lizzie
in your life ?"
81 never did, sir"
Again the plaintiff caught at the at.
torney, but he ignored her.
"Now, once more, sir, ask you di-
rectly to state to the Court whether
you did or did not call this young lady
by the endearing name of Lizzie. Re-
member, sir you are on your oath"
and the attorney reared back in his
chair, while the plaintiff made another
Intellectual clutch at him.
The defendant smiled slightly.
Il never did," he said firmly.
The attorney sat forward with a

floor.

Norfolk Peanuts.

The Chicago Journal says: Norfolk.
Va, has crop which is worth millions
OF dollars annually-peanuts. Norfolk
supplies the civilized world with pea
nuts. The street corner Italian who
empties pint in your overcoat pocket
and the Partisan fruit merchant who
weighs you out a quarter of a kilogram
OF the homely nuts, get them from
here, for this is the only peanut mar
ket in the world. Smyrna has its figs
Barbary its dates, Bordeaux its wine
and Norfolk its peanuts. What would
life be without peanuts? One can
scarcely picture an existence which
would be tolerable under such circum-
stances, says Goldthwaite's Geographi-
cal Magazine.
Inc peanut magnates grow the 'edi.
bic tuLer in Nansemond, Isle of Wight.
Surry and southampton counties. but
the common market is in Norfolk
The rows for the nuts are laid off three
feet apart. They are made fifteen
inches deep, and phosphates are
largely used as an under dressing.
They are strewn along in these trenches
about the middle of April, and manured
after the same term which is required
for potatoes.
1t is a crop which is marketed like
the Dutch drumhead and purple Savoy
cabbage, running from November to
March. The nuts, however have to 90
through the factories before they are
shipped nOrthward, and these factories
are with a few exceptions situated in
Norfolk. There are two factories
situated in Franklin, and Southampton
County.
"What is peanut factory ?" might
be asked. A peanut factory is a place
where they put the "gOobers" through |
some such process as wheat has to
undergo when it is being cleansed of
chatt and rid of cockerel. The most
complicated machinery is used to
assort and polish the nuts, and when
they are packed in the ninety-pound
bags the prime class bring from $2.75
to SO a bag.
The tops" bring this price in North
ern cities and are mostly used by the
swell groceries. The street.corner
vender sells at his apple-stand the Sec
Ond grade, and the old lady at the foot
of the wharf carries a stock of doubt
ful ''tailers."
This is the result of market which
yields TO Virginia truckers $1,000 900
1t is second in Importance
only to the sweet potato crop of Acco-
mac and Northampton counties, on the
eastern shore of Virginia, which is
calculated at as many millions per
acre as Bermuda has square feet, and
Bermuda is the one yam-raising country
that can compete with the southern
peninsula.

Stewed Potatoes.

For six people, use two quarts of
thin-sliced raw potatoes, three ounces
of fat bacon, half teaspoonful of
grated onion, half teaspoOnful of
pepper, and one even teaspoonful of
salt, Use a deep pudding dish that
can be placed on the table. Have the
bacon cut in thin slices, and spread
about One-third of it on the bottom of
the dish. Sprinkle the onion over
this, and then put in one quart of the
sliced potatoes. Over them sprinkle
half of the salt and pepper, then put in
the rest of the potatoes, and sprinkle
over them the remainder of the salt
and pepper. Lay the remaining slices
of bacon on the potatoes and mOisten
the whole with with four teaspoonfuls
of water. Cover the dish closely, and
put in a moderately hot oven. Bake
for half an hour; at the end of that
time take off the cover, and cook for
twenty minutes longer. The top slice
Of bacon should be crisp and brown at
the end of that time,

SCARLET CLOVER No. /.
THE PENINSULA FARMERS GOLD NINE.


Much has been written and mapv
have testified to the endless value that
this gold producer is and will be to
the farmers of this country wherever
it can be grown. And am satisfied
by practical experience, that there is
no end to the benefit to be derived
from it.
First, 1t is winter pasture on the
Peninsula, and in the northern States
for colts, calves, sheep and hogs. One
head to every acre will not iniure it
in the least.
Second, As an early green food to be
moved in the spring before other
grasses have made sufficient growth to
even pasture upon, this golden food is
OF an endless value, Horses for work
or driving every day, will thrive upon
it with half the amount of grain as
they would with dry food; and cows
will increase in milk upon it and give
you the very best quality of clover
butter, from two to three weeks earlier
than you would have it by depending
upon other grasses to pasture upon.
Third, By turning down in green
state, it is mine Of wealth from which
most valuable phosphate is produced.
Therefore every farmer can produce
the very best phosphate material upon
his own farm for less cost than the
hauling of so much manufactured
phosphate and stable manure. There
is no loss of time in growing q crop of
this clover on land that is intended
Tor most any other crop In the spring,
For example, a crop of clover and a
crop of corn can be grown upon the
same acres of land every year for three
years, as my experience teaches me:
and the improvements used upon this
land of four acres In the three wears.
is One-half ton of Phosphate to COM
mence with, as the land was too Door
to grow any kind of crop three years.
l have turned down two crops Of
clOYer and top-dressed once with thirty
bushels of lime per acre. Now the
third crop of corn promises forty bush
els per acre, and the land in a high
state Of cultivation.
Fourth, II preserved in the silo, it is
a mint of gold to the dairy farmer to
used as ensilage during the summer
months. for the COWS standing in their
stalls protected from the heat of the
sun and the tormenting flies. The
fourth point Of value has not been my
own personal experience as yet, as l
have no silo. Bat l can vouch for its
great value in this point from reliable
men.
Fifth, As dry food cut and cured as
hay when in full bio om, all the leaves
and blossoms will be saved upon the
stems when cut at this stage of growth
and its qualities as food for all stock ia
superior to any other dry provender
and you are sure Of a heavy yield per |
acre as there is no drouth in early |
spring to affect 1t.
Sixth, For the seed It has been a |
profitable crop to q few farmers and
will be yet to those that only try to |
harvest few acres, even If the price |
should not be more than three dollars |
per bushel. Land that will produce |
only ten bushels of wheat per acre
with 200 pounds Of phosphate, will
produce ten bushels of clover seed
without any phosphate. Because the

Her Picture.

Thank God no change or pain can ever come
To that fair pictured face on yonder wall,
With earnest eyes, and lips forever dumb,
That loved and trusted me through all in all.
Full many time when filled with deep unrest
watched it in the elamplightss quiverine CLEAN
Until my soul with quiet was possessed
And then It faded from me in dream.
Sweet, gently curving mouth, that to me left,
Its last smile in the last kiss that she gave
Then closed, TO leave me utterly bereft
Until we meet again beyond the grave.
Soft eyes, within the flrelights ftful glow,
scarce can see YOU sorroWful and deep,
And yet, in darkness as in light, know
That never weary in the watch you keep.
sweet eyes, brown eyes, so tender and so kind,
doubt if living eyes could ever be
To all my faults and failures halfso blind,
Or half so fond or pitiful to me.
Time cannot change those loving earnest eyes,
So wishful for the love in mine they see,
Or watching DER me, in their sad surprise,
And grieving for the griefthat come to me.
Can you then blame me that love this face,
That long ago became my dearest friend,

To watch above me till reach the end

COLUMBUS TASTED THE WATER.

Just 400 years ago Christopher Co

age. Here is a condensation from the
Century for August of Senior CasteIar's
paper.
On August ., 1892, everything was
ready. During the night Columbus
kept all sail on his caravels. The old
salts of the crew looked for favoring
wind at starting, and Columbus eager
watchfulness was not to pass unre-
warded. From the height on which
La Kabida stood. he scanned sea and

those seabirds, presagers of changes of

a canopy above his head, and gold.
embroidered with the royal initials
aud the Castilian crown, he assembled
all the chief comrades of his voyage
about him as in court pageant.
Then, ,disembarking, he knelt upon the

in a TIE Deum. The miracle was
wrought at last, and wrought by faith.
