HOW PEANUTS GROW.

All boys and good many. Of their sis
tiers are fond of peanuts. Everybody
knows that no circus is complete without
them, but probably not many boys or
girls either know just how they grow,
says the New York Times. The peanut is
supposed to be a native of Africa, where
it forms the chief food of certain regions,
but it is found, too in South America and
Europe, the species varying slightly in
the different countries. Here in the
United States it is cultivated chiefly in
Virginia, North Carolina and Tennes-
see. The seed planted is the meat ker-
mel and care is taken not to break the
skins. The plant grows like a vine and
the nuts hang on to it like pea pods. A
single vine will it is estimated: produce
about 100 nuts, if it is of the average good
condition. At this rate the yield per acre
is 40 bushels. Three varieties of these
nuts are grown here-the white, the red
and the Spanish. They are readily dis
tinguished, as they have individual char
acteristics. The next time you eat pea
nut with two kernels very white, with
pink skins, you will know it is Of the
white variety, which is the most impor-
tant. The shell of the red nut sometimes
holds three or four dark kernels, and it's
skin is Of decidedly dark red, so you
cannot mistake that; while the Spanish
nut is so much emaller, with a lighter
skin than either of the others, that it will
not be mistaken for either. Nearly 5,OOO,-
900 bushels of peanuts are used in this
country every year.

May they look al banquet hall,

DEBS IN JAIL.

10! the judge has paid his vow,
Sons of toll in shame must bow,
See your chosen leader now
Unjustly cast in Jail;
How can freemen tamely stand,i
Meekly kissing Shylocks hand,
While F. V. Dcbs, that hero grand,
Goes down six months to jail!
,Lawless trusts may break the law,
Private forts give hint of war,
Bit wOrkingmen must stand in awe
When courts their rights assail;
Wages may be cut In twain,
Children cry for bread in vain,
But freemen 90 ever must refrain
From strikes, or go to Jail!
Law and Order"-nothing less
Than a mask for lawleSSneSS-
Echoes from a hireling press
To make the people quail!
Sterling manhood, grander far
Than the grandest Pullman car,
Yet called by judges to the bar
To go, untried to Jail.
Listen to our Court Supreme,
All! how just it's rulings seem,
Framed to further every scheme
The rich would have prevail;
Out upon these creatures nine,
Worms in every foul combine,
So basely bribed to draw the line
Where men must go to jail!
Champion of the right of man,
Strong to do and brave to plan,
Though now beneath a tyrant's ban,
Thy cause can never fail!
Workingmen will soon unite,
Led by thee in Freedoms fight,
And Labor reach her grandest height
When Debs comes forth from jail!

Money they cannot get, r
