Peanuts For Food.
Exchange.

Exchange.
Peanuts are largely imported into
Germany for the purpose OF expressing
the oil. The oil is used as salad oil
and for various ordinary purposes, and
the residue of oil cake or meal is sold
as a food for cattle. But the German
chemists IN analyzlng this secondary
product have discovered that the horses,
sheep and cattle haye been furnished
with a goods which is of such extraor-
dinary richness in nitrogenous elements
az to be of great value for human con-
sumption. The servants have set
themselves at work to take advantage
of this discovery AS result Consul
General Mason, at Frankfort, reports as
follows:
Four preparations have been on the
market for year, and they have been
tried on 12O patients IN hispltal.
Over half of these found peanut-meal
soup paIatable aud excellent. All throve
we'll on it. It's sustaining power is re-
markable. Although easily digested
and assimilated even by invalids, its
durabiIity-for want of better term
surpasses even that of the hitherto un-
eoualed 3Soja bean" of Japan and Chi
ma. All this has been made the subject
of careful experiment by the military
authorities of Germany. In the garrl-
sons at Frankfort and elsewhere the
men have been supplied with soups
made from peanut grits, and the re-
suits carefully noted IN official reports
which have been recently made to the
Ministry of War at Berlin, and which
are not ct accessible. The first series
of experiments, which was made some
months ago, was announced by the MIN
istrv of War as having proved quite
satisfactory and if the later trials art
equally favorable 1t is probable the pea
mt meat will be included in the future
garrison rations and "field sausage" o
the German army.

CofEeeism.

Pacific Med. Journal.
The evil effects Of coffee on many
constitutions are matters we'll known.
Many a case of persistent pruritus has
been made to disappear by simply in
terdicting the use of coffee. On the
other hand, coffee taken without milk
and with but little sugar, exercises the
most tenefcial influence in many cases
of migraine, especially if little lemon
or lime juice is added to the decoction.
Some weeks before his death the late
Professor Charcot was attending upon
a family composed of the father, moth
or, and six children, who had become
the victims of an uncomfortable ment-
al instability upon the least provoca-
ton. Hardly a meal passed at the
family board without an explosion.
Upon the least pretext the father be-
came furious, the mother scolded, and
the children would give away to hys-
terical crying. The family were all
hypochondriacal. The strangest part
of the history consisted TN the fact that
domestics employed and residing in the
family would soon partake of the gen.
eral cachexia and join in the pandemo-
MUM.
In the middle ages, this house would
have been considered haunted, and
somebody would have been burned, OF
hung and quartered as having enchant-
ed the premises. This was the nine
teenth century, however, and as de-
mons, goblins, fairies and vamp Tres are
no longer the fact, Charcot looked in
to the hygiene of the locality for so
luton of the difficulties. On investi-
CATION he found that the father was q
manufacturer and a dealer IN coffee
the roasting, grinding, and packing, as
we'll as the manufacturing Of the ess
ence and of the extract of coffee, being
carried on in the lower floors of the
premises. In the apartments above
the odor of coffee permeated every
nook the furniture and clothing smell
strongly of coffee. The inmates were
suffering from chronic coffeelsm. A
few weeks residence in the purer all
of the seashore and change of habita
ton soon brought about change for
the better.

A Queer Copper Mine.

"There are many kinds of mines and
numerous inventions for saving pre-
cious METALS" said Professor L. E.
Waring of Omaha, ''but the strangest
one I ever heard of is at Butte, Mon.
When mines were first discovered in
that locality, it was found that the wa
ter contained in the assures was so
strongly impregnated with copper in So
luton that tools of all kinds were quick
ly destroyed by the affinity of the copper
for the iron. For long time the water
pumped out of the mine went to waste,
as no method was known Of extracting
the copper from it. After awhile dis
covery was made that is being used to
good advantage. Some tin cans found
their way into the small stream. In a
short time it was noticed that they had
every appearance Of being made of pure
copper, SO thickly were they covered
with that metal In noting this fact,
one man resolved to try an experiment.
He Immediately purchased the exclusive
right to the water Then he put in a
series of reservoirs and tanks along the
little gully where the water ran. These
he filed with all the old metal to be
had in the town, including old barrel
hoops. At the end Of six months he
found that the old junk was totally de.
stroyed, and in its place was a sedi.
mentary deposit in the bottom Of the
reservoirs which was 80 per cent cop

Fert;1izinr with Sugar,

There is diversity of opinion as to the
land most suited to the cultivation Of
melons. Sandy, light soil, very highly
fertilized with phosphate and with salt,
will produce an abundant crop of large,
fine melons, but there are many plant
ers who affirm that they should be
planted on a good quality of soil with
out fertilizers of any kind, as the artifi-
cial ingredients contained in the ferti-
lizers detract from the native sweetness
of the fruit. They also claim that the
highly fertilized vines bear all their
fruit about the same time, making a
short season, while vines planted n un-
fertilized soil will bear gradua-.y one
melon after another, affording fresh
fruit for long period, even until it is
SO late in October that the first frosts
have killed the vines. An old planter
of ancient days, fond of experimenting,
fertilized the soil in which he planted
his melon seeds with quantities of sug-
ar, producing most satisfactory result,
the melons being of unusual size and
sweetness. That was done in days when
expense was no obiect.-Scuth Carolina

This was the case with young man
one day last week, and this is how he
got there. Boarding a Broadway car at
Twenty-third street among a crowd Of
others, he walked forward and took his
stand beside the gripman. 1t was some
time before the conductor reached him,
when he fumbled for change, as though
he knew he had it in vest and trousers
pockets, finally remarking that since he
couldn't find it be supposed he'd "have
to get Of" The conductor saw it in
that light, too, and politely made way
for the young man, who by this time
had reached Thirteenth street.
Walking down few blocks, he board
ed the third car following, and this time
the conductor called for his fare. Again
he affected the searching process, and
again the conductor waited patiently,
while the car spun along until at last
the young man anxiously declared that
he must have lost his pocketbook. The
conductor dinged the bell, deciding that
the best thing to be done was to step off
and look for it.
Eighth street was now reached, and
again at Fifth street a fresh car was
boarded. Another search after change
was gone through and another kindly
suggestion from conductor looked for,
but this one said: "Ain't got no money!
How far are you going? Fulton? Oh,
no; you'd better get Off" And he got
off after three elaborate bits of acting

M. Grevy Was Tender Hearted.

Some one has taken the trouble to
draw up a list of condemnations to
death in France and their results since
1865 in order to show the different
ways in which successive rulers have
exercised the prerogative Of mercy. Un-
der the second empire, from 1855 to
1870, there were 1913 condemnations
and IS combinations, or A per cent;
under MacMahon, from 1878 to 1878,
179 condemnations and 112 commuta-
tions, or SO per cent; under M. Grevy,
from 1878 to 1885, all condemnations
and 1853 communications, or 85 per cent
M. Grevy, it will be seen, was most
merciful and next to him Marshal Mac
Mahon, who, although an old soldier,
had great difficulty, it is said, in turning
a deaf ear to the appeals of the relatives

BEFORE SLEEPING.

Now is the dead of night, and must sleep.
But first, my soul, II thou dost aught recall
Wherein thou hast done i'll, bid thee weep
And pray Gods tender mercy on thee fall.
Purge thyself clean of whatso bitter hate
Thou hast for them that wrong thee; sink
thy pride,
Nor deem thou standest In higher state
Than those whom God thy happier chance
denied.
Be all COR heaven; think life draws near the
close;
Give to repentance thy last conscious breath;
For more and more this mortal weakness grows
That pledges thee to take the form of death
And sleep awhile. What if In dreams the door
OF life should shut, and thou return no more!
