That Is About the Annual Crop Of Pea
 nuts in This Country.
 The ''g0obcr' industry Cf Norfolk is unique. Here is a little city in Eir- ginia that has become the greatest distributing center of peanuts in the world A peanut is pretty small ij-su. but aa annual crop of something like 5.OJ9,G0J bushels. worth millions of dollar, makes a pretty big item. The demand for goobers has doubled within the last five years, and the sup ply does not yet fiji the growing de- mana. Few people know the curious u-es to which the goober has been put in trade quite Of late years. No other single plant raised ia this country is used in sO many different ways. The Chinese say that the cOcoanut palm has as many useful properties as there arc days in the year. The gOOber is not 70 universal as that, but it has as many valuable qualities as there are days in the week, says the New York Independent. The solid part of the nut is peculiarly nu- tritive and supplies fruit and food for many a family. The vines make fine fodder. some say as good as clover hay, while hogs fltten on what is left in the fields after the crop has been gath cred
 IT you grind the nut you get a sweet quality of four, with which the house. wife makes delicious biscuit. If you squeeze it yOu obtain a valuable oil re- sembling olive oil and used for similar purposes. This oil also enters largely into the manufacture of the better grade of soars- The kernels are roast ell for coffee. The roasted kernels gre also used in the manufacture of some kinds cf chocolate. line Confectioner helps tO ruin our digestion in bOyhOOd days with peanut candy; the Georgia cook alone knows how to make rich pastry of pounded peanuts. The art ist, with paint brush, silks and satias, creates novel acI beautiful peanut or namentS: so that peanut dolls and other curios may now 6e seen in the shop win dOvS, especially around the holidays. These are soEe of the ways in which the legumilouS nut is useful to us The rOo5Cr is grown more or less h all the southern states The bulk of our supply ccnes from Virginia. North Car olina an1 Georgia. Down south these edible nuts are called ''gCOberS' or 'pindSrs.~ They are not known as peanuts. Now that the demand is in- creasing and good prices are obtained. more growers are going into the bUsi- ness every year. Few crops are easier to raise than the gOober. It is a hardy prolific plant. and requires no more care and attention than crop of potStOeS-

IN HOMEMADE LINEN.
Just Such Clothes as They Were Marrie'
 in Sixty Years Ago.


 in Sixty Years Ago.
 A year ago last spring, says Scran- ton (Pa.) correspondent of the New York Sun, Mrs. Henry B. Shetland, of Gibson township, Susquehanna county, said to her husband: Henry, we ought to raise some flax this year. The aged farmer hadn't raised crop of flax in thirty-nine years, so he asked: ''What for, Elizabeth?" 'Well, you know. Henry" replied the good old wife, If we live till year from June we'll have been married sixty years, and I thought it would be nice to give party then and receive our guests in the same kind of linen cloth ing we wore when we stood up to be married down in Connecticut in 1883. We've got all of the cd fax tools stored away, and if you'll raise some flax, Henry, I'll spin and weave it and make nice homemade suit for each of us.''
 Farmer Shetland was eighty-six and his wife eighty-fve at the time. Both were rugged and healthy, and when the old farmer had thought the matter over for a moment he exclaimed: By George, Elizabeth. I'll do it.'
 A few days afterward the old farmer prepared a piece of rich ground back of the barn and sowed a patch of fax. The aged couple watched its growth every day with anxiety The crop was excellent and when it had got ripe in the fall Farmer shetland gathered it, beat the seeds from the tops, and spread tho straw on the grass to rot. Tn November he tied it up in bundles and packed it away in the barn.
 On a beautiful sap morning in March Farmer Shetland brought out the fax and stood it Up along the south side Of the barn. The wind was in the north and in a day or so the flax was as dry as a bone. Then the old farmer broke it. swingled it, and turned it over tC his aged wife, who immediately tied up her head, shut herself in the kitch- en and hatcheled the flax til all the Ow was separated from it. The next lay she got the old spinning-wheel rom the garret, oiled it up, and began 70 AllAA- IL DtiLL A-Att1l-dAiy 0l tAAEA shetland came in smiling and happy while his wife was spinning.
 I'd rather hear that wheel than q piano, Elizabeth" " he said. Ut is like old times"
 '-SO it does, Henry. But 1 can't make the wheel go as fast as l used to-"
 In few days the old lady had spun all the fax and reelcd it into skeins. The next thing she did was to boil the s,xeins in Q weak lye of wool ashes b bleach the yarn. and when that was done Farmer Shetland riDsed the szeins in the brook til all the lye was out. Mrs. Shetland began at once to weave the yarn in the old loom, and by June I she had woven it all into cloth.
