Plenty of Her.

The great scarcity of servant girls in Boston has led to the importation of a con siderable number of farmers daughters from the back districts of Maine to serve in fashionable city houses. The want of familiarity on the part of these girls with city ways and language has led to some queer scenes

A BRIDGE

At Knoxville, Tenn, a company
have devised and constructed q most
wonderful bridge across the river at
that point. We say bridge, but it is
an aerial cable railway, answering
some of the purposes of a bridge and
costing much less. 1t consists of two
steel cables, each capable Of bearing go
tons or probably twenty times the
weight put on them. They are firmly
anchored on the bluff On either side
and a cable car, holding 80 or 40 per
sons, runs back ard forth every few
minutes. An engine pulls the Car one
way and it returns by gravity. The
cable railway is LOGO fset long, one
end being higher than the other. The
passengers are three hundred and fiji y

The extension Of thu Norfolk and
Southern Railroad through the North
Carolina seaboard to P .mlico sound
has had the effect to move the truck
growing center from Norfolk toward
New B>rne, whish has the advantage
of a more expansive area, a better soil,
and two degrees of south latitude,
which is equivalent to ten days prece
dence in time. There are already 5000
acres of land at New BerEe devoted to
trucking. A score or more Of superb
truck farms are in operation at Eden
ton, Elizabeth City and Aurora, and
the profits have sometimes reached as
high as several hundred dollars per
acre.

THE COMING FOOD STUFF.

On another page we publish an alb
stract of the translation which ap
peared in the National Druggist, of
February Is 1893, of a paper from the
pen of Dr. Boenig, OF Munster, on the
peanut and Its Value as q Nutri
ment." We do this at the request of
several persons whose attention has
Only recently been directed to the
article, and whom we are unable to
supply with the original issue, and we
do 80 the more readily, partly because
the paper in it's original form did not
attract the attention which it's great
economical Importance deserved, and
partly because the editor has, since
the original publication, had oppor-
tunities TO test the prepared peanut In
various ways, and can therefore, from
experience, add his testimony to that
Of DR.. Koenig, who, as u readers
probably know, is the greatest living
authority on food stufs, in those coun-
tries in Europe in which, for various
reasons, the question of 1.-The greatest
amount of allmentation for the least

There, where a million of men, the
youngest, the strongest, the most
healthy and most willing to labor as
producers in the fields and work shops,

by the stringent military laws (Which
seem to Oe a necessity in the political
condition of Europe,) but must be sup
ported, in their enforced idleness, at
public cost and in such a manner that
they shall always be in the best pos
sible fighting trim. Not only this, but
the necessity for being always pre-
pared for war, the storing away of food
for use in Notifications, or on board
ships and, above all, for the alimenta

question of the greatest mount OF
nutriment in the smallest compass and

OF the greatest experimentors and
thinkers.

FILLMORE FOREST.
Plans Adopted to Improve the Forest on
Mr.. Va~nderbilt's AsheVille Farm.

Plans Adopted to Improve the Forest on
Mr.. Vanderbilt's AsheVille Farm
Mr.. FD1TOR :-Biltmore Forest is the
Rrst practical application of forest
management in the United States.
Biltmore estate, of which the forest Is
a part. lies near Asheville, in the west
Orn part of North Carolina. Before It's
purchase by Mr.. Vanderbilt the small
farmers to whom the land belonged
had pastured their cattle In b forest
had burned it over to improve the pas
turage. and bad cut large proportion
Of the trees which could be used or sold
for fencing, fuel or sawlogs. At the
time when It's management was under
taken comparatively few large, sound
trees of white, black, or scarlet oak
and short leaf pine, which r the more
important species, were still standing
in the forest, and the condition of a
large part of iT was deplorable in the
extreme.
The prime object of the management
ct BiItmore is to pay the owner while
improving the forest. To this end
Improvement cuttings" were begun
In some parts of the forest, to remove
cid trees which had reached a mer
Ohantabie size and were standing over
and injuring good young growth. In
ether places the only measures required
were to exclude cattle and fire, and
give the forest absolute rest.
In the process of telling the timber
the trees TO fall were first carefully
selected and marked, then sawed down
and reduced at once to cOrdwOOd or
sawlogs or both. Great care was used
I'm selecting the place for each tree to
fall and in throwing it 80 that the top
might crush the young trees among
which it fell. The result was a gain OF
probably 95 per cent. in the condition
of the young growth owe that which
usually follows ordinary numbering,
while the increase in cost was not o
than 2 or 8 per cent. The output Of
the forest was sold at market prices
ia open competition, but most of it vas
consumed by the other departments
Of the estate simply because the prices
charged made it worth while for them
10 purchase of the estate rather than
elsewhere.
During the first year a great improve
mOnt was effected in the condition Of
the forest at a very small cost. Out of
O total expenditure of nearly ten thou
sand dollars the net cost of the i'm
HFovement was somewhat less than
fear hundred dollars. During the year
1898, however, with woodsmen more
fGlly trained and the whole force In
better working order, the management
yielded a net profit of rather more than
twelve hundred dollars.

{ crops, their gathering and storing,
marketing, and preparation, down to
| the cooking and serving of the same.
The attention of the writer being
| thus drawn to the researches Of DR..
Koenig, he was ready TO accept the
statements concerning the nutritive
value of the peanut, and availed him
self of an early opportunity of testing
the alleged palatableness of the soups,
bread and made dishes prepared from
the same. The result was a very de-
lightful surprise. A pureG, made ex
actly in the same manner as bean soup,
with the nuts roasted just sufficiently
to make the membranous corteX slip
off easily, was rich and delicate IN
flavor, resembling the best quality OF
bean soup, except that 1t was a tribe
sweeter. The dried nut, slightly roasted,
powdered and made into a paste, and
thus baked, with no addition save q
little salt, made a most tOothsOme bis
cut, and we can easily conceive that
bread, more carefully prepared, would
be a luxurious article of diet. The
fully roasted nut, powdered, was
boiled, with the addition of a little
cacao, in milk, and used as chocolate,
and equalled the best that we have ever
used.
We are fully convinced that Ameri
can housewives need only be persuaded
to try peanut meal, to bring the latter
at once into use as a prime favOriCe.
Of course, to make this possible, 1t will
be necessary for some with capital,
energy and enterprise, to undertake
the preparation of the meal in guam
titles sufficient for experimental pur-
poses, at least. This could be done
from the oil cake at but a trIf1Ing ex
pense, and we sincerely hope that some
of those engaged in expressing peanut
oil will undertake the manufacture

On Sunday, February 18th, an acci.
dent occurred. The hauling cable broke
just as the car reached the higher end
Of the aerial bridge, and the car rushed
back down the incline at a frightful
speed. The conductor finally stopped
the car with the automatic brake just
over the middle of the river. Here was
another dilemma. however, for the car
had gone down the incline by gravity,
was stopped, and could not climb the
grade to the opposite eide. Fortunate
ly there was a long coil of rope on the
car and the passengers were all let
down 30 feet to a boat in the river and
carried ashore. The "a was pulled to
