Concerning the Peanut.

The origin of the peanut is shroudcd III
mystery No one appears to know ITS orig,
inal home. Some say that 1t Is indigenous
to Africa, others that it was a native OF
South America and was carried by INC
earlier explorers Of that country to SPAIN
and thence to Africa. The earliest authen'
tic tradition tells of its appearance in east
crn North Carolina, probably brought there
by some of the slaveships landing cargoes
along the coast. The native Africans rec,
ognized and used them. The agricultural
bureau at Washington does not recognize
the peanut as a nut at all, but classes II

The production of artificial cotton yarn
from wood pulp is declared bya Rhode Is
land expcrimenter to be a practicable in
dustry, tho difference between the two
materials being said to be very slight as
regards appearance, softncss, strength,
lustcr and general condition. 1t appears,
says the New York Sun, that for this pur-
pose the wood of the spruce or the pine is
used and is defibrated, after which it is
disintegrated thoroughly and subjected to
a good bleaching, much depending upon
the latter process, an essential point being
that the whitencss of the stock equals that
of the genuine cotton material. When
compared beneath strong microscope, a
difference is noticed in the yarn, the fine,
fuzzy and loose fibers SO prominent in
cotton threads being missing in the pulp
Sort though not to the disadvantage of the
latter. The peculiar twist character Of
cotton thread is also absent in the pulp
strand, while the latter seems harder and
smoother under the glass.

Blackstone is jasper variety of quartz
Of a dark green color and having those mi
mute blood red specks disseminated
throughout which give its name. There is
a tradition that at the crucifixion the blood
which followed the spear thrust fell upon
a dark green jasper lying at the foot OF the
cross, and from this circumstance the va
riety sprang. In the middle ages the dark
red spots were supposed to represent the
blood of Christ, and this stone they thought
to possess medicinal and magical virtues.

Gus and soldier loving people donated the use
of a commodious brick building, well adapted
for the purpose, and commodious grounds
