The peanut magnates grow the edible

Surry aud Southampton Counties, but
the common rket is in Norfolk. The
rows for the nuts are LAID of three feet
apart. They arc made fifteen inches
deep, and phosphates are largely used
as an unerIreosiny. They are strewn
along in these trenches about the mid
die Of April, aud mature after the same

which is marketed like the Dutch drum

from November to March. The nuts,
however, have to 60 through the facto-

RaZ0K.

The finest grade of raznrs are so
delicate that even the famous Damas-
Gus sword blades cannot equal them
in texture 1t is not generally known
that the grain of a Swedish razor Is 50
sensitive that the general direction l.
changed after short sc vice.
When YOU buy fine razor the grain
runs from the upper end of the outer
point in diagonal direction toward
the handle. Constant strapping Will
twist the steel until the grain appears
TO be straight up and down. Suisse
quent use will drag the grain outward
from the edge, so that after steady
use for several months the fibre of the
steel occupies position exactly the
reverse of that which il did OH the day
of the purchase. The process also
affects the temper of the blade, and
when the grain sets from the lower
and outer point toward the back you
have n razor which cannot be kept in
condition, even by the most cOnscien-
tious barber.
But here's another curious freak
that will take place in the same tool ::
Leave the razor alone for a month or
two, aud when you take it up you
will find that the grain has assumed
its first position. The operation can
be repeated until the steel is Worn
| through TO the back.

side envelope was in any Of the cases
mutiated, and what made the matter
worse, robberies OF the same Kind were
reported from several postotiices at once.
The non -mutilation OF the outside
registry envelopes showed that the rob.
berries were not committed while the
letter was en- route, so the department
set detectives to watch several postoffices
at which letters had arrived apparently
robbed.
Finally detective saw a registry clerk

very sharp knife cut slit where the
stamps had been, take the money from
tho envelopes, and then replace the
stamps over tae slit. That was the Sc
cret. A professional thief had put tho

Others at different postottices, for small

A Banana Cargo.

The average cargo OF fruit steamer
is 5000 punches of bananas. The
largest punches must weigh at least
fifteen or twenty pounds and at that rate
cargo must be tolerably chiefly so to
speak" These steamers all ply between
this port and Jamaica, and their choicest
fruit comes from plantation called the
Golden Vale, the fruit taking the name.
The best of this brand brings $l.75 aud
sometimes 81. 90 bunch sold from the
steamer. These have eight and some
times nine "hands" or clusters upon
and are exceedingly large. The
average punches have seven or eight
'hands" and sell on au average for
ninety cents per bunch, each bunch con-
tanning upwards of hundred bananas.
1t is easily seen what profit can be
made on this fruit which is bought
green for the above price, kept for few
days in a warm room to ripen and then
sold for from twenty-five to thirty cents a
dozen and perhaps more. The punches
containing six clusters or Glands" are
sold for about fifty.fve cents to street
pedlers, who, after ripening them, sell
them for ''twouny' for q quarter. -Bos

A Prize Sill Banner.

The ladies of the Southern CaIifor-
MIA silk Association, with headquar
ters at San Diego, are preparing to
make a banner of homemade silk for
the Worlds Fair. which for original
design and artistic finish will attract
universal attention. The banner is TO
be hand made, even to manufacturing
tho fabric.
First-class artists will be employed
to paint designs of flowers, fruits and
scenery characteristic of Southern
California, which will be transcribed
upon the silkcn folds of the banner by
the deft fingers of the ladies, with
silkcn floss grown, rcclcd and dyed in
their establishment. This will show
ne nothing else could the superior
quality of the silk grown here, and
also the energy and taate of Southern
Calf rnia ladies. 1t will also give Il
great impetus in an industry which,
in tho near future, is destined to be
one of importance in the state. - Cal

Eighteen months after the wreck,
Colonel Underwood read aloud at the
mess description OF the marriage OF
Thomas Jones, of Milford Haven, to
Mary, only child and heiress of Sir
Thomas Conyers, of Conyers Castle,

that "ths Honorable Thomas Jones, with
his bride, had gone to Vienna on diplo-

"Just his luck, " said Powell.
"Just his pluck" said Underwood;

not ashamed to say so, shall treat them
as heroes just waiting for their oppor-
