THE PEANUT.

The peanut is the fruit OF a plant
common i'm warm countries. II is
sometimes called the ground-pea and
ground or earth nut. Still another
name for il is plndal or pindar, and
i'm western Africa II is called mandubi.
The plant is n trailing vine with
small yellow flowers. After the
flowers fall, the flower stem grows
longer, bends downward, and the pod
on the end forces itself into the
ground where il ripens. Peanuts are
raised in immense quantities on the
west coast OF Africa, in South Amer
lea, and i'm the Southern United
States. The vines are dug with
pronged hoes or forks, dried for II few
days and then stacked for two weeks
TO cure. The pods are picked by
hand from the vines, cleaned in "A
tanning mill, and sometimes bleached
with sulphur, and packed in bags for
market. Peanuts are sometimes
eaten raw, but usually roasted or
baked. In Africa and South America
they form one Of the chief articles Of
food. Large quantities of them are
made into an oil much like olive oil,
and which is used in the same way.
1t is also used IN the manufacture Of
soap. A bushel OF peanuts, when
pressed cold, will make n gallon Of
oil. Ifheat is used, more oil Is made,
but it is not so good. In Spain, pea
nuts are ground and mixed with
chocolate. Peanut vines make good
food for cattle.
The peanut gets its name from the
shape Of its pod, which is like that
Of the pea Detroit Free Press.

was sauntering along Broad street,
the other day, when ! saw a pleasant
little street scene worthy Of being
recorded.
Two ragged newsboys were trying
to sell the earlier editions Of the after
noon papers, while "A bootblack, with
his box slung over his back, was
keeping "a keen lookout for possible
customers. Meanwhile, the three
boys kept up IA running fire Of street
chat, such rs these Arabs delight in.
Presently IA man, carrying a large
bunch Of fine bananas on his shout
der, passed close by. The motion Of
his body loOsencd one Of the biggest
and ripest, and it fell TO the sidewalk.
The mar kept on, not noticing or
caring for his loss.
The banana lay on the pavement
for about half IA minute. Then the
bootblack spied it, and, with "A cry
OF delight, ran over and picked it up.
The two newsboys saw him i'm the
act, and i'm "A moment were by his

was somewhat dampened.
The others also noticed IL, and n

Huh! Jerry's got the best Of this

Jerry heard the remark, but he
grinned good-naturedly and when the
others had gone away with their
share, he unslung his box, sat down
on IL, and looked slyly around him.
/ followed the direction ~ his eyes,
and presently saw a little girl, who
looked to be about eight years Of age,
with a little faded shawl drawn
around her thin form, and a most

Double warp surahs will be a
quarter less in price this season than
last. They are considered staple
goods, but are less worn every year.
Light shades of surah with tiny
spots and bars Of the same color are
especially bought for misses dancing
school frocks and for simple evening
forms.
Shirt waists and blouses will be as
much worn this summer "a usual and
the new shirt is called tailor-made
and has a cuff masculine effect and a
very good collar.
Satin Of all kinds, and especially
black, will be worn, but it is super
seeded by the watered effects. Satin
duchesse is the favorite. Bengaline
is not as fashionable as it was.
One of the prettiest sleeves Of the
season is close fitting from the wrist
to some distance above the elbow,
and has three soft putfs or dropping
frills falling from the shoulders.
For shirt waists there are new
swivel silks of absolutely fast colors
with all sorts of pretty small designs
which retail for about tifty-tive cents
and are especially suitable for chill
dren's frockS.
Pin points Of black on light shades
are seen in the handsomeSt silk goods.
They are called pointille effects and
are as pretty in ribbons as in satin
and silk. The dot-and-dash pattern
is the fayorite, however.
Ruches Of pinked out cloth and
frayed or pinked silk and of thickly
pleated materials Of all kinds are
used on skirts which have stripes of
trimming running down from the
waist. The ruche is also repeated on
the bodice to head the lace or frills.
The attempt to revive ermine has
proved almost as fruitless as the
attempt to revive crinoline. 1t makes
an admirable lining for evening
wraps. bat as a trimming few things
could be trying to the complex

and protection they had had they

Of conveying the soil in barrels such a
long distance would prevent any but
comparatively wealthy people from
trying the experiment, but my friends
had made IL a hobby. The only other
case Of earth importing that ! have
met with is that done by the Shah OF
Persia. The traditions Of his country
prevent his treading on foreign soil,
and when he makes a trip in foreign

LAST OF ITS RACE.
Strange Story ofa Pigeon That Took
Refuge on q Shin.

In 1861 Captain Newbury, now OF
Oakland, Cal, ran out Of New York
in the ship Mary Jane and anchored
Mt Norfolk, Va, on April 10th. With
the night came the news that Vir-
ginia had gone out Of the Union, and
the Captain hove anchor and prepared
to run for it, fearing the confiscation
OF his ship.
just n the vessel was under way,
when the first hint OF the morning
was s~treaking the black Of the sky, u
pigeon, spent with the %wanderings OF
the night, fiuttered above the ship
and alighted on u yard. II was So
cured without difficulty.
From that time until "a few days
ago, during "A life Of nearly thirty
three years, IL never attempted
other flight, and lived mateless, un-
classified and lone.
Captain Newbury made "A pet Of the
bird, which had many OF the mark
ings OF IA long-distance pigeon, but
which was unlike any other pigeon
known in America. Though fire.
quently exhibited and taking valuable
prizes for It's beauty and unusual in
%telligence, no n ventured TO say TO
what family Of the a%vifauna IL be-
longed, and IL seems to have been the
last Of its race.
II scorned the nest provided for
other pigeons, but made It's home in
IA shoe lined with wool. Into this he
was tucked and covered like "A child
in "a crib. II threatened by "A preda-
tory cat or "a wandering dog Billy
would not take refuge in flight, but
hopping TO the door Of a member OF
the captains family would peck on
the door and COO plaintiyely for pro-
lection. At the approach Of strangers
he would give warning in the same
manner
Through all its days it would not
mate with any other dove or pigeon,
bnt lived a life Of bachelorhood, It's
extraordinary age OF thirty-three
years indicating that celibacy tends
20 longevity in birds rs well as men.
In ordinary demeanor Billy was
grave and reserved, but he unbent to
the music Of u waltz and tripped his
measure in perfect time and with no
inconsiderable grace.
1t was Captain Newbury's intention
TO have exhibited the bird as part Of
Alameda county's display at the
Midwinter Fair, but this plan was
stopped by death. The taxidermist
who was intrusted with setting up"
the ancient pet said the species was
entirely new to him, and IL is prob
able that Billy" had been blown
from some far shore before finding a
haven on the Mary Jane. Having
one sad experience Of flight, he never

Terrors OF q Cold Snap.

One OF the tcrrors Of a cold snap in
England j. the bursting Of kitchen
boilers. The Kitchen arrangements
OF England are about a hundred years
behind the age anyhow, and one OF
the peculiarities is a boiler set in a
range in such a way that the cook
cannot tell whether there is water in
it or not. The consequence is that
the pipes get frozen up, then thawing
out they pour the cold water in the
boiler when il is red-hot, and an ex-
plosion nsues. No less than ten
such explosions occurred recently in
one day. A cook and housemaid
were instantly killed and the lower
part OF a house was wrecked. on one
OF these occasions. The average
kitchen range is more dangerous than
any implement yet devised by the
anarchist .-lSan Francisco Exam

Some Hints A. To How lt May Be
Attained.

Few who pretend to rest give up
entirely to the bed, "A dead weight,
letting the bed hold them instead OF
trying to hold themselves on the bed.
Watch closely and you will usually
see the muscles are tense, ii not all
over, so nearly that it is fatiguing;
the spine seems to be a central point
Of tension. Ii touches the bed at
each end, it is true, but only in its
entirety as far AS the individual will
permit. The knees are usually drawn
up, the muscles OF the legs tense, the
hands and arms contracted, often
clasped above the head, the fingers
clinched, either holding the pillow or
themselves; the head, instead of let
ting the pillow have its whole weight,
holds itself on the pillow, the throat
muscles often contracted, or the
muscles of the face drawn one way or
another. This may seem exaggerated
when it is sleep that we are talking
about, but II is indeed too true.
How many poor sleepers are more
fatigued when they get up than when
they 90 to bed, and yet natural sleep
is natures sweet restorer," and al
ways brings perfect recuperation to
fit one for the coming days duties.
If | could only stop myself from
thinking is a complaint often
heard, but no n can reason himself
or herself out OF the habit. Even tho
knowledge that nothing is gained by
1t, and that IL is n drain on the
system, often adds to the difficulty
and renders the habit more difficult
TO abandon. But you say, l must
get control. reason must assert her
self over every bodily function. Try
il. You will find that the strain and
nervous tension i'm trying but add to
the difficulty. To use "A homely
phrase, 1T is less difficult to jump
out of your boots than out of your
self" II you cannot stop thinking,
do not try. Let the thoughts stream
ahead If they will, only use enough
will power to relax all the muscles,
make yourself as heavy as possible in
bed, and, while the attention OF tho
mind is drawn TO the lettih ego pro-
cess Of the muscles, the imps OF
thought find less to do i'm the brain,
because the mind Is absorbed In a bet
ter work, and soon the senseless
thinking will stop.
Five minutes Of complete rest are
worth more than an hour Of common
resting. There is no better way OF
learning TO overcome perverseness
In sleeping than TO study with care
the sleep of a healthy little child.
Having gained the necessary freedom
TO give perfect repose, the dropping
of all thought and care can be made
an easy task. To take the regular
process, first let go the muscles,
which will enable one more easily TO
drop disturbing thoughts or refuse
without resistance TO admit tho
thoughts, and freedom from care for
the time will follow. Take plenty OF
time for repose, and above all things,
court IA clear conscience before rest
ing; the latter adds much TO tranquil
sleep.-[Worthington's Magazine.

THAT WHITE STOCKING SCARE.

One day last spring, the Princess
of Wales appeared at a garden party
in IA white toilet-dead white-follow-
ing the second mourning worn for
Prince Eddy" Under a big white
sunshade, she wore a little white
bonnet with a delicate white veil.
Her dress was white, and so were her
shoes and stockings. These details
were needed by the other ladies, and
on the strength of their orders man
ufacturers set in making white silk
hosiery. But white has not been the
fashion for several years, and as
white shoes are only for slim little
feet, the white stockings were not a
success. But that's the way that
white stocking started.-New

Crepes and crepe effects Of all kind.


will be seen everywhere and milliners
have especially adopted them. There
is the chrysanthemum crepe and the
ice crepe" i'm a crackle design, To
initiate frozen water, and serpentine
crepe which runs i'm heavy lines and
is very pretty for evening dresses and
blouses. Another crepe effect il
called neige or frosted, and there are
some striped fancy crepes which will
be much worn in the summer.
In g spring jackets models for
middle-aged women remain at three
quarter length for youthful wearers
from 81 to % inches is the desired
length, the designs, as a rule, being
double-breasted and tight-titting in
the back. Black watered silk is used
on very many models for reyers and
collarette and the sleeves are simply
enormous. Braiding is used with
elegant effect on coat accessories and
vests, but a model thus finished costs
as much as a silk-lined velvet one.
