A young Russian gruceiyman 10

Kennan, and incidentally gave him
and his companion gret. deal of in

sian nuts lying in open bags ON the
counter Mr. kennan describes what
follows
After we had examined them all
and tested a few, the grocer said
II have IN the back part Of the
shop some very curious ones that
were sold me year or two ago as
African nuts. Whether they ever
came from Africa or not | don't
know, but the people here do not

inquired MIR Frost. as the young man
went after the African nuts

piled, "or cocoanuts. don't believe

them by sight, and they are the only

In moment the man returned,

why, those are peanuts! !" shout
ell MIR. Frost, in burst of joyful
recognition. "Amerikanshi peanutsl"
he explained enthusiastically to the
groceryman. "Kushat khorosho"-
American peanuts eat very we'll
and he proceeded to illustrate this
luminous statement by crushing the
shell OF one and masticating the
contents with an ostentatious show
of relish
Suddenly. however, the expression
of his face changed, as if the result
had not fully justified his anticipa-
tions, and relieving himself of the
African nut, he exclaimed, They
haven't been roasted Ii is neces-
sary to fry. he added impressively
to the groceryman. Americans al
ways do fryl'
Fry" exclaimed the young man,
to whom fried nuts must have been
a startling novelty. How is it pos
sible 10 fry themf'
explained to him that Mr.. Frost
meant to say roast them, but this
seemed to him quite as extraordinary
as frying, and when he was told that
the peanuts is not the fruit of tree,
but of an herbaceous plant, and that
it grows underground, his astonish-
ment was boundless.
His commercial instincts, how
ever, soon resumed their sway, and
when we left his shop he was already
preparing to roast a quantity of tho
wonderful American underground
nuts, with view to sending them
out again on trial.

The strongest OF the company OF

nously throughout the seventeen years

Berry is a big man, standing exactly
six feet, stocking clad, and weighing
260 pounds. He is so well proper
toned, however, rs not to appear so
heavy. He is "a native son, having
been born forty-two years ago in Mel
Note county, near where Rouge river
meets with the sea. Del Norte was a
wilderness hen and Berry grew up II
sportsmana and angler-pursuits which
made him strong OF limb and sound oil

athletics somewhat and was the pre-
mier wrestler OF northern California,
until he was apprenticed to a tanner

became noticeable. leaning natu-
rally followed, and as one OF its most
lucrative branches Berry took up the
moving OF fine furniture.
His daily work is to move from fif
teen to twenty fine pianos up and
down stairs, sometimes several flights.
Berry invariably manages one end of
the piano, while two men can barely
handle the other. The strong man
also takes the lower end in gong up
s~tairways, very often being compelled
to sustain the whole weight OF instru-
mrnts OF the grand form, which
weigh bet ween l2ooand 1900 pounds.
He estimates hIs daily lie oil dead
weight to be nifty, and the weight lifted
each time to average 1000 pounds.
As the weights must be sustained Tor
ii length of time, the feat becomes the
more remarkable.
That so many years of service at
such tasking labor has not broken him
down Berry believes is due to the fact
that he has Away been regular in his
habits, sleeping long hours and re-
training from drinking. He claims
nothing for himself as to strength, but
along kearney street and among ex-
pressmen generally he Is considered
the Sampson OF the profession.
Berry has never tested his strength
to the uttermost, but thinks that with
suitable harness he might lit "a ton

would not are to lift more than 1900
pounds, and would avoid such lift il
possible.
