The PROFESSORS Preference.

The writer was in the front car of fast
express trayeling to New York last week,
and, as he had grown rather tired of reading
the morning paper, he began to amuse him
self by studying his fellow passengers. Just
in front of him sat two men. One wore q
wide-brimmed stiff hat. and his know-it'all
manner seemed to indicate that he had just
finished his junior year at college. The
other, who was much older, the writer rec
ognized as q well-known professor of ar
cheology at Harvard.

Peanuts.

They say peanuts are extraordinarily nu-
tritious, and that, though almost wholly in
digestible raw or roasted, when reduced to
meal and boiled or otherwise thoroughly
cooked they are readily assimilated. Owing
to their low proportion of sugar and starch,
they may serve to enlarge in most welcome
degree the bill of fare of persons under
treatment for obesity. In other words, they
are an ideal anti.fat diet From two points
of view their value as food is of interest to
Americans. In the first place, would it be
desirable or practicable to introduce the
M oral and grits here? Secondly, is this new
discovery likely to stimulate the demand
for United States peanuts The latter ques-
ton is likely to be answered in the negative.
inasmuch as this kind of crop can be grown
and gathered in Africa more chesply than
in this country. OF course, as a matter of
fact, the peanut is not nut at all. 1t is q
sort of pea-an annual that has to be plant
ed every year and dies in the fall. The
blossom of the plant puts forth little ap-
pendsge, which makes its way into the moist
earth aud swells out below ground into a
pod that has from one to four peas in it.
When they are ripe, they are pulled up,
stacked in the field to dry and finally clean
ed and sorted for market.

The Swedes are quiet, taciturn people.
There is no josting even among the lower
classes, writes F II. Stauaer, in Kate Fields
Washington. When train leaves a plat
form or a steamboat a pier, the lockers on
lift their hats to the departing passengers
and bow to them, compliment which is re-
turned by the passengers. You arc expect
ed to lift your hat to the shabbiest person
you meet in the street, and to enter shop,
Office or bank with the hat on is considered
a bad breach of good manners. In retiring
frGm restaurant you are expected to bow
to the occupants. Boqing and hat lifting
is so common that people seem to move
around more slowly than elsewhere, in order
to observe the courtesy.

A Broom With Each Drink.

As three men were standing in front OF
the bar of Smithfield street saloon yester-
day, says the Pittsburg Dispatch, one pick
ed up a glass of whiskey that was placed
before him, and, tasting it, made face that
looked as if he had taken poison. "My, but
that's rank stuff" said he as he put down
his glass and wiped off his mouth with his
handkerchief. That's almost as bad as the
whiskey we got out west during the great
gold and silver excitement. l remember IN
Leadyille there was a wag kept saloon who
did not try to disguise the quality of the
liquor that passed over his bar, but rather
made careful preparations for the effects
that he knew it would cause.
at is said that tenderfoot once came in
and asked for a whiskey He was passed a
bottle and a glass Then, to his surprise,
the bartender placed small whisk broom
by the side of the bottle. Of course he was
puzzled, but he poured out his drink and
drank it slowly, unwilling to profess igno-
rance in the ways of the wild west, and
thinking that some person might come to
his rescue.
"The door opened, and he saw a man who
saved him. A big, burly fellow, bristling
with revolyers and bowie knives, stepped in
the door and, going up to the bar, ordered
whiskey in voice that seemed to come from
somewhere below the cellar. A bottle and
glass we're passed to him, and, as before,
a whisk broom was added to the layout
The tenderfoot watched the man carefully.
He poured out good-sized glassful, then,
after gulping it down, quietly picked up the
whisk broom and going over to a corner OF
the room, brushed away the sand from a
portion of the floor. He then laid down
and had fit.
"But, of course, all the whiskey we got
out there was not as bad as that"

Rats Nest in a Clock.

A resident on the hill had somewhat
curious experience the other day of the
boldness of rat. Coming down one morn
ing to the diuing-room he found that the
clock on the mantlepiece had stopped, and,
thinking it had run down, he wound it up
aud put the hands to the proper hour.
Noticing that i; struck in a peculiarly
mufiled way, he took it down to examine
the works aud was astonished to find the
striking apparatus encountered with petals
and stocks of flowers and bits of paper. A
further examination disclosed that these
odds and ends formed the nest of rat,
which was still snugly ensconced among the
works, neither tie poise made by the clock
as it was set going OF the striking Of the
hammer having apparently disturbed it The
least.

GENERAL NEWS OF INDUSTRIES.

A New York special says there have been
10000 tons Of English and Nova Scotia
coal solhtl arrive IN New York, n portion
Of which has already been shipped from
Cardiff, Livarpool aud Glasgow, and from
Sidney, n. $. The cost ~ within IS and 20
cents per ton Of the ordinary price Of soft
steamer coal delivered alongside in New
York. The bulk OK this has been taken by
the companies supplying steamers TO I'LL
their contracts. There are negotiations on
foot Tor the purchase Of l0OOO tons more
to DO delivered here between jane and 10
nv the same parties for the same purpose.
From this fact II is inferred that the coal
companies intend fighting the strike to the
finish. The present low rates Of ocean
freight make it possible to bring coal from
Eugland In unlimited quantities and at
competing prices, even by steam, as very
little freight y now coming this way.
Vice President Sayre, Of the Lehigh Val.
ley railroad, does not concur in the belief
that the bituminous strike has yet mater
tally benefited the anthracite situation.
'If the strike continues long enough" " he
says, tive will no doubt profit by IT, But
that time has not yet arrived. The supply
Of bituminous coal on hand was very large
WDtH lHb hlIlhb WIS hltu, anu IL
will last some time longer. President De-
pew, Of the New York Central, says his
road has enough btuminous coal to last at
least thirty days Most Of the roads are
doubtless III the same position. Until the
bitumnous coal supply Is exhausted the
anthracite market will not feel the effects
of the strike. We can tell very readily
when the demand from this source comes
by increased sales Of the larger sizes. We
cannot judge 1t from the sale OF pea and
buckwheat, because the demand for them
has long since been greater than the sup
ply"
A novel appliance has been put into
operation In the bed OF the Lehigh
canal by Superintendent John Ruddle, for
the purpose Of lifting up coal sediment, or
wash" The Mauch Chunk Daily News
thus describes 1t: "An S-inch rubber pipe
extends to the bottom of the dam and a
large fan sucks the coal dirt through this
pipe, up into box raised to an elevated
position From this box the dirt and the
water that accompanies it runs of its own
accord into revolving screen that is prob
ably five feet in diameter and twelve feet
long. The screen ia raised higher at the
end that receives the dirt that it is at the
other end Its revolutions carry the dirt
to the lowest end where ii passes through
a chute into q canal boat. The water that
Is raised with the coal dirt through the
