Peanuts as Food.

Brndstreet says that while in general way 1t has been known that the humble nut contains much that makes 1t attractive to man and beast, it has, however remained for German scientists to investigate and exploit the food possibilities of this great American crop. Details as to the re- suits reached have recently been pub lished, showing that 1000 parts or peanut meal or arits are worth on nutrimental basis: ,27S parts Of sofa beans, l ,67l parts of lentils, ,709 parts of navy beans, and 1870 parts of peas. The method of making peanut soup differs in no respect from that of peai or lentil soup or puree. Like all these, too, the peanut to make a first-class soup, demands soft water. fact too often neglected by our domestic cooks. Soft water Is necessary to obtain the best flavor and highest nutritiye val ue. As an addition to made dishes, ur with rice, potatoes or other foods deficient in nitrogenous material, it1s claimed to be very acceptable, and boiled with pork, the dish is said to be superior to baked beans. Mixed with flour 1t makes superior biscuit, and baked alone, with the addition of a little salt only, the peanut makes a most toothsome cracker. Raw nuts are used for these purposes being first scalded to remove the skin, then crushed and part of the oil pressed out,

out


 Peaches are tonic, an aperient, food and drink combined; or, tc put it briefly, they are meat and medicine. A good meal may be made on cut peaches, with sugar and cream, bread and butter. After meal of this var iety person will feel more like at tending to the duties of the afternoon than if he or she indulged in heavy foods. Peaches are good before break fast and after dinner; they are good for the digestion, good for the blood, and good for the complexion. Some people eat them without cream and sugar, and with good results. The fruit is SO rich in sugar and acid that it preserves it's flavor a long while, but to get the full benefit it should be eaten as soon as it is cut Redness of the nose, due to congestion, inhamed cumplexions, scrofulous and bilious tendencies are said to be materially influenced by liberal consumption of this luscious fruit.

 Professor Blount, of the New Mex leo Experimental Station, was asked the other day this question: What is the duty of water?" That is, how many inches of water is needed to ir- rigate an acre of land every year? The Professors reply was that is ques- tion which no one man answer. Diff ferent soils vary as to the amount of water they require, and so do different plants. Even in the same vicinity, soils vary considerably in this respect. Then, of course the amount of natural rainfall must be taken into considera- tion. It is a problem which each in- dividual must solve for himself Ex- perience only can teach us how much water is needed on the various soils and by the various plants One thing, however, Prof. Blount is quite certain about and that is, that in almost all cases a great deal more water is used than is necessary.

Thin-Skinned People.

The thin-skinned woman-or man
either for that matter-is greatly to be
pitied rather than blamed, for she is
hardly more responsible for having
representative nature than for having
tow-colored hair or no hair at all, and
the nature is perhaps less within her
power of dissimulation. But there are
several charges to be brought against
her. She is-and this is a charge
brought, often unjustlv, against all
women-least merciful to her own kind.
Sensitive people are as rule sarcastic
All the great satirists have been thin
skinned men like the author OF The
Dunciad," who is said TO have thrown
javelins like giant, and writhed un-
der the arrows of dwarfs- The ability
to say little things is almost always
accompanied by morbid sensi-
tiveness to the bitter things said by
others. The most scathing critics are
often more lacking N philosophical
good nature or stoicism under similar
fire So after all thin-skinned people
carry their own punishment with them.
