Committee.
Special From Staff Correspondent.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June Sat the
meeting of the state central committee
last night action was taken which was OF
the utmost Importance. 1t was decided
by a vote Of "a to to recommend to the
convention the appointment Of delegates
to a national free silver convention, to be
called later. 1t is the purpose of the man.
ayers to enter into communication immedi-
ately with the members of democratic
state central committees of every state.
They will be asked to meet in conference at
an early date and agree upon call to be
issued for a national free silver convention.
This will he completely ignoring the
democratic national committee, of course,
the only organization that has the power 10
call a national convention, but it is held
that If fair proportion of state central
committees agree to call it will thereupon
have due authority. 1t is probable that the
Invitations to the state central committees
will be sent out soon after the adjourn
ment of this convention
Today is the appointed time for the de-
mocracy of Illinois. in convention assem-
bled, to make a break. Senator Palmer
says it will be a break in the direction of
total eclipse Of the party in this state.

silver lines and move for democratic
ascendency again. The real significance of
this convention lies in the effect which its
utteranceS will have upon the Silver-loving
democracy of other states. 1t now ceases
I. to be question of the effect upon state
politics and resolves itself into a far great
er consequence. The bearing is now upon
the national democracy
Naturally it would appear that a sense
OF responsibility to the party at large and
Its welfare would occur to these people;
a personal responsibility growing out of the
force of example. They assume it cheerful
ly. 5auntily, 1t might be said, eagerly.
The excuse for this action is the asser-
ton that the move is in accordance with
the sentiments of the great masses of the
democrats of the United States; that it
represents their wishes, and that they
have right at all times to break away
from restrictions Of policy which they
themselves had imposed and which had
proven irksome or oppressive.

The origin of .Lingcr."

A correspondent sends the following
derivation of the term " linger:" Early
in the forties there moved from Yer
mont to one of the then Furnishing cot
ton manufacturing villages of New
Hampshire man with large family
of children, TO keep one of the corpora
ton boarding houses. He Was tall,
lank dyspeptic. There was but one shoe
store in the village; in the rear OF the
store was room for making and ro-
pairing shoes. Here was Frenchman,
and a lover of mischief One day the
tavern keeper entered the shop and said /;
'Hellol Are you shoemaker Yes,
was the answer, and linger ut it. The
Freuchman caught on, and in day or

the most uncouth, bunglingly made pair

BALLAST ron SPIDER CRABS.

A D5f,>usf Problem saIved II Time Of
Hood at tLe New York Aquarium.
In one q tie tanks q the New York
aquarium there are eight spider crabs.
The spider cr... is The decorating crab
grown up. The ~ ating crab plants
upon its back lialc sprays and stream
ers Of yarious marine plants, which 1t
SHIPS off with It's pineher claws. II car
ries these first to its mouth, where It
seems to keep supply Of waterproof
glue, and thence 20 its back. Il Is sup
posed to do this for protection from its
enemies, for, half buried in the mud
and with these things rising from It's
back, il is practically invisible. 1t Is
possible also that the crab uses the
sprigs for adornment, as il often selects
growths of bright colors. In its larger
growth. after il has come 20 be called
spider crab, il ceases to decorate itself,
though sometimes the seeds of marine
plants settle on its back and grow there,
but il never loses the handy use OF Its
pincher claws.
The largest of the spider crabs at the
aquarium is about 3 inches in length.
From side to side its legs spread about
eight inches. The bottom Of the spider
crabs tank is covered with gravel. The
tank was cleaned the other day and all
but about three inches Of the water
drawn off. When the refilling of the
tank was begun, all the crabs gathered
around the intalSe Crabs and fishes In
captivity usually do this, welcoming
the fresh incoming water as man IN
captivity might welcome an incoming
current of fresh air. The flow of water
through the intake pipes can be regulat-
ed at will. Here IL was permitted to
run in at its natural force, which was
about that of water flowing from hose.
The flow was broken somewhat by the
wire strainer over the opening of the
intake, placed there TO keep little fishes
and crustaceans from getting into the
pipes, but it was too strong for the
spider crabs to face. They began to set
tie themselves down into the gravel and
TO pile gravel upon their backs, appar-
emily to weight themselves down so
that they could withstand It, On a
sandy on muddy bottom they could have
buried OF partly buried themselves.
Here the work was more difficult. but
they We're equal TO it.
They would work their legs down in.
to the gravel and then lift them, dis
placing stones in that manner, and with
their pincher claws they would pick up
stones. Sometimes a crab would pick up
two gravel stones at once, one IN each
claw, and place them both on It's back.
1t might tackle stone 50 big rs to re
uuire both claws in the handling of IT
aud raise that and put it on its back.
Some Of the stones would roll off down
by the crabs legs, but they We're not
lost there, for they helped to build up
around, and the crab would 60 ahead
and put up others ON its back,
When the tank was full and the in
flow cut off, the crabs went walking
about again as usual New York Sun.

The plebeian peanut, which rejoices
In such other homely names as earth
nut, groundnut, ground pea, goober
and pindar, has assumed new dignity,
having recently been honored as
the subject of special report by
one of the experiment officers of the
national department of agriculture.
The report corrects some prevalent
mistakes as to this little article of con-
sumption, gives astonishing statistics
as to it's value as food product, and
presents many interesting facts as to
its uses.
1t is pleasant to be informed, first of
all, that the peanut is not nut at all,
but pea, and that Its shell is not
shell, buta pod. 1t is also we'll to know
that while cotton, Indian corn, pota-
toes and tobacco have usually been
considered the four plants of CONNER
cial Importance which America has
given to the world, the peanut must
be added, as the weight of authority
fixes its birthplace in Brazil. The
crop has become of primary impor-
lance since 1866, and Virginia, North
Carolina and Tennessee produce the
largest part of it. There are seven
varieties cultivated, some of them bunch
and some running vines. The yield
of this underground pea is astonishing,
and the amount consumed is testi-
monial to its popularity. The yearly
production here Is about 4,OOO,OO
bushels of % pounds. which supply the
present demand in this country. This,
however, is but small portion of the
worlds crop. The expectation from
Africa and India to Europe In 1892
amounted to nearly 40O, ZOO, 900 pounds.
The crop of the world may be safely
estimated at 600,OOO,OOO pounds.
The value of the homely little ground
pea, however, becomes especially APP
parent when its uses are considered.
1t is sorted in the factory into four
grades, the first, second and third be-
ing sold to vendors of the roasted pea
nut, either directly or through jobbing
houses. The fourth grade is sold to
confectioners, and after their manipu-
iation reappears as peanut candy,
burnt almonds and in cheaper grades
OF chocolates. The report says in this
connection: 1.-THE extent of the use of
the peanut by the American people
will be more fully appreciated when it
Is remembered that they use 1000 900

planter uses the nut as fattener for his
hogs and the vine as peanut hay for

creased when some of the nuts are
cured and fed with the hay. Millions

SUCCESSFUL SPRAYING.

oughly and Regularly.
Fungous diseases of several kinds
have spread all over the country, and,
unless checked, destroy the fruits of
apple, peach, pear, plum and cherry
trees and of vines and berry bushes.
These diseases can be checked, and
their effects destroyed, by thorough
spraying. This has been proved be-
yond doubt, and the only question
now Is how to do the work in the most
thorough manner. I believe we have
not been in the habit of beginning
soon enough in this matter. No doubt
the scab, blight and other forms of
fungous disease begin to develop very
early In the season, and are at work
long before they make any visible
signs 1t is my opinion, and my ex-
perience last year confirms me in hold
ing 1t, that the best time to begin is
before there is any sign of disease
