PEANUTS GALORE.
The Big Annual Crop of an Unusually
Valuable Plant.
New York Independent.


The "g0ober industry OF Norfolk is
unique Here is little city in Virginia
that has become the greatest distributing
center of peanuts In the world A peanut
is pretty SMALL isem. but an annual crop
of something like 5000, 900 bushels, worth
millions of dollars, makes a pretty big
item.
The demand for COOLERS has doubled
within the last five years and the supply
does not yet fill the growing demand. Few
people know the curious uses to which the
guoDer has been put in trade quite of late
years. No other single plant raised in
this country is used in so many different
ways The Chinese say that the cOcoanut
palm has as many useful properties as there
are days in the year. The goober is not so
universal as that, butt has as many valua-
bic qualities as there are days In the week.

part of the nut is peculiarly nutritive,
and supplies fruit and food for many
a family. The vines make fine fodder,
some say as good as clover hay, while
hogs fatien on what is left in the
field after the crop has been gathered.
If you grind the nut you get sweet
quality of flour, with which the housewife
makes delicious biscuit. If you squeeze it
you obtain valuable oil. resem bling
olive oil and used for similar
purposes. This oil also enters large
ly into the manufacture Of the bet
ter grade OF soaps. The kernels are
roasted for coffee. The roasted kernels nre
also used in the manufacture of some kinds
of chocolate. The confectioneF helps to
ruin our digestion in boyhood days with
peanut candy; the Georgia cook alone
knows how 10 make rich pastry of
pounded peanuts. The artist. with paint
brush, silks and satins, creates novel
and beautiful peanut ornaments so
that peanut dolls and other curIos may
now tie seen in the shop windows,
especially around the HOLIDAYS. These are
some of the ways in which the leguminous
nut is useful to us. The goober is grown
more or less in all the southern states. The
bulk Of our supply comes from Virginia,
North Carolina and Georgia. Down south
these edible nuts are called ''goobers" OF
''pinders." They are not known as pea
nuts. Now, that the demand is increas-
ing and good prices are obtained, more
growers are going into the business every
year. Few crops are easier to raise than
the goober. 1t is ? hardy, prolific plant,
and requires no more care and attention
than d crop Of potatoes.

Lawyers.

John r. Jarboe. whose death was an

The oldest and most prominent members OF
the legal profession in San Francisco.
When death came he was in his sixty.
seventh year. and had been an active
Der of the legal profession in this city
for the last thirty-two years Of his life.
During all of those years he was recog-
nized as one of the most earnest. careful
and successful lawyers in California. not
only by the members of his own profess
sion, but by all those with whom business
dealings brought him in contact.
He was the attorney and adviser OF some
of the leading monetary Institutions Of the
city and, in fact. of the whole State. His
counsel was sought by financiers and
mOneyed institutions more perhaps than
that of any other lawyer Of the State. At
the time of his death he was the attorney,
among other institutions, of the German
Savings and Loan Society Of San Frau
cisco. In his reportlngs upon titles OF real
estate, Mr.. JarbOe was recognized as the
equal of any member OF the bar on the
Pacific Coast, and his services as Searcher
of titles were always in demand. while his
labors in this particular field won him high
praise.
Mr.. JarbOe was native OF JarDoe, Mo-,
where he was born in 1886 He traced his
ancestry back for many generations. He
was of HuguenOt descent. His ancestors
settled first in Maryland. His father was
the head Of one of the greatest educa tional

VICIssITUDES OF A DIAMOND.
The Story of Its Adventures Before

JeWeIerS' CirCuI


The imperial treasury OF Austria con-
tains the Florentlne diamond. This is one
of the finest diamonds in the world, and it
is noted for its luster and brilliancy. It is
worth $3.50, 900. and has romantic history
connected with it. 1t once belonged to
Charles the Bold. Duke of Burgundy, whe
seems to have been rather careless in
guarding his treasures.
He went to battle one day with this dia-
mond ia his pocket and the result was that
he lost it. The diamond lay on the road
and a Swiss soldier picked it up. He
looked upon It as piece Of glass and
threw it down again, but as it fell the suns
rays caught it, and the soldier. thinking it
a pretty trinket. concluded to carry It along
as a pucke-pipce. Shortly after this he
showed it to priest. The priest admired
it and gave him coin amounting 10 about
30 American cents for ii. The priest sold
it to jeweler for 20 cents, aud a rich
merchant paid the jeweer $500 for 1t.
The merchant sold 10 to an Italian Duke
for $1,000 advance on his price. and this
Duke sold 1t to one of the Popes, who
paid $50, 900 for its poss- ssion.

WASHED THE TIGER.
The Unconsciously Daring Deed Per-
formed by Cossack. =

Inc Million.
When Pezon, the lion-tamer, was at Mos
cow with his menageIie he had occasion to
employ moujik, fine specimen OF
Cossack. to clean out the cage of the wild
beasts. The Cossack did not understand
word Of French. and the terms OF contract
were settled in dumb show.
By way of instructing him in bis new
duties, PeZon went through a sort of par
tomime with the broom, sponge and water
bucket. The moujik watched him closely,
and appeared fully to understand the de-
tails of the lesson given. Next morning,
armed with broom, bucket and g
sponge, he opened the first cage ne came
to and quietly stepped in, as he had seen his
master step on the previous day into two
cages of harmless brutes, but this one hap
peued to be tenented by splendid but IN
tanned tiger that lay stretched out on the
floor fast asleep.
AT the noise made by opening and clos
ing the door the creature raised its head
and turned its green eyes full on the man,
who, all uncon scous of his danger, stood
in corner dipping his big sponge INTO
the bucket. At that moment PeZon came
out Of the caravan and was struck dumb
by the terrible sight that met his
gaze. What could he do to warn
the man of his danger? A sound. a
movement on his part might enrage the
great beast and hasten its attack on the
defenseiess Cossack. So PeZon stood
awaiting developments, ready to rush to
the scene when the crisis came. The
moujik, sponge in hand. coolIy approached
the tiger and made ready to rub him down
with the St0lidity of military bootJack

with his ewes wide open, as if nailed TO
the spot. When he had finished his job
the Cossack left the cage as quietly as he
had entered it. and it required the most
energetic and expressive gestures on the
