There is much doubt s,s to the original
nome of the peanut. Some claim that it
Is indigenous to Africa, others that it was
a native of South America. and was carried
py the earlier explorers of that country to
spain. and thence to Africa The. earliest
authentic tradition tells of it's appearance
IN eastern North Carolina, probably brought
there Dy some of the slseve ships landing
cdrsOes along the coast. The native Afri-
cans recognized and used them
Peanuts grow upon trailing vine with
leaves much resembling G small four-leayed
clover The small yellow flower it bears is
SNAPPED like the blossom of all the pea fam.
ily; indeed,the agricultur a. bureau in Wash
lhSton does not recogni .e the peanut as a
nut at all, but classes ii among beans The
soil in which 1t is cult sated must be light
and sandy; after the fb)wer falls away
the flower stalk elon gates and becomes
rigid. curving in such a way as to push the
forming pod well below the surface of the
earth; If by any accd snt this, is not done
the nut never natures.
They are planted in I ows about three feet
apart, and the vines sp :ead until the ground
Is covered by them. Harvesting is done
after after the fnst frost, I'D the yield is often
profitable crop than wheat or cotton The
vines, with the nuts slingfng to them. are
torn up with pronged hoes and allowed to
dry in the sun for a day ar two and then
stacked to cure. In about a fortnight the
nuts are picked off, tine emoty ones which
are technically called pops" being re-
jected. This is done. by hand and is slow
work, as an expert laborer can pick only
three bushels a day. They come into mar
ket in rough. dry state. unassorted and

Annuitfes for single Women.

From the New York Times.
The question of providing annuities for
daughters, after the English and Fren ch
manner, is being discussed. IN Philadelphia,
which city has a large contir gent of at
tractive unmarried young WON IN. 1t is as
serted that these annuities can now be had
in this country, abroad. and it is pointed
out that one bought end kept up for a term
of years. and perhIps incre lsed, secures
comfort and independence to the daughter
who does not marry.
Considering the lame topic from another
standpOintthe Boston II omc ournal speaks
of a society FOR this pu pose that has long
been in operation throughout Denmark, and
works well and profitably.
The general outline of the plan, 1t seems,
is that lady who does not feel sure that
she means to be MARI ed or wants to be
married should pay annual premium 10
the central office; she receives a form of
policy, duly executed. and. upon condition
that she pays her nnual pre- miums with
regularity. she Will receive. al the age of

Do Sick People Ever Sneeze:

From the Medical Record.
For something over twelve months the
readers of medical literature have been
confronted in small caps with the conun-
drum: DO the sick ever sneeze?' We do
not know why this inquiry has become so
popular: prize has been attached to its
answer; in fact, comments and replies are
not solicited. But the simple query has
been travelling around from Sheffield and
London 70 Texas. Oregon and Philadelphia,
and it has not been answered yet. There
are some problems which the human mind
sErinks from graphing, someti mes because
they a-e too deep and too consuming, or,
again, because We dread the consequences
of an awful uncertainty. No medical man
has yet dared to come out and Squarely say
in so many words that the sick do not
sneeze, and the world is cur Ious to know
whether this is due to fear o incompeten-
cy, or is it that the doctors simply do not
know

health gave way. He returned to New
