According to the Philadelphia Ree-
ord, the captain Of the clipper Louisi7
ana, which lately arrived at that port,
tells good story of the way an Amer
lean boy, without making himself Of
fensive, extorted a tribute from
royalty. While the Lorisiana was ly-
big at Dublin, the prince Of Wales,
who was then the guest Of the lord
mayor of the Irish capital, sent word to
the captain that he woula Like to come
on board and see what an old-time
American cipper-ship was like. The
captains son heard what was going on,
and declared that he would make the
prince tip his hat to him. lie knew, it
seems, that the prince was not in the
habit OF uncovering in this way. When
the royal party came on board the boy
appeard on deck waving the American
dag, The prince, seeing the national
colors, lifted his hat, and the rest of
the party followed suit, to the great
delight of the captains son, who thus
had made good his boast.

The crowd is now in the most iovial
humor, and signifies its light-hearted
enjoyment by ribald chaff at the ex-
pense of the remaining victims, who
frequently retort defantly, and exhibit
the most stolid Indifference to their
fate.
Suddenly burst of merriment arises
in one corner. A portly merchant has
approached too near, and his long
white coat is splashed with blood. How
the bystanders laughl Was there ever
such good joke!
The last few heads are falling now,
when my hand is plucked by an ex-
cited youngster of ten, dancing with
delight, who cries, eagerly: "Io-tai?n

pieces with a knife.
So sldIlful is tae executioner that al
though his yiotisa soon becomes un-
recognizable as saman being, yet no
vital wound is inflicted till perhaps half
an hour of this torture has elapsed,
when the agony is ended by deeapita-

CHINESE CRUELTY.
Horrors of the Place of Public
Execution.
The Terrible Butchery of Criminals Re-
garded by the People as an Occasion
for Joking and Rejoicing
Work of the ueadsman.

Some four years ago l spent four
days in Canton, the metropolis of
southern China, on a special mission to
investigate Chinese justice, and the re-
suits surpassed my most ghastly an
ticipation, says a writer IN Harper's
Weekly.
What 1 witnessed was nothing un-
usual, and is the daily practice of the
country, but l am compelled to tone
down the details to make them pre-
sentable for publication. Nothing but
the strongest spirit of inquiry, sup
ported by an iron resolution, carried
me through the horrors of those days,
and for weeks afterward l suffered
from perpetual nightmare.
The place of execution, or ''Matou,"
as it is called by the Chinese, is a filthy
yard, long and narrow, like blind
alley, and, singularly enough, it is
used as potters field when not re-
quired for execution.
On cold January afternoon pro-
ceeded thither to witness the final re-
lease of batch of poor wretches who
had already undergone a prolonged
course of torture.
On this occasion the death squad
consists of thirteen, who are tightly
bound hand and foot and carried in,
huddled up in baskets slung on a bam-
boo between two coolies. On arriving
at the center of the ground these living
loads are pitched out unceremoniously,
and Immediately seized by the execu-
tioner and his assistants, who arrange
them in two lines in kneeling posi-
tion.
At nod from The presiding manda-
rim, and with incredible swiftness, the
butchery commences. The assistant
seizes the first victim by the shoulders
from behind, while the exeeutioner
steps up to his left side, armed with an
enormously heavy short sword with a
broad blade and a razorlil1e edge. With
out any compulsion, the victim, still
kneeling, bends his head forward, and
almost instantaneously it leaps frora
his body, severed by one swift stroke
The assistant pushes the trunk over
forward, and shrill burst of approving
"Hi-yahs' goes up from the crowd
After the uncertain and clumsy oper-
ations of the medieval headsman, one
had been led to suppose that a human
head required a great deal of sever
ance; but so adept are the Chinese ex-
ecutioners that they seem to display no
more effort or emotion in cutting off
head than they would in looping a
poppy from its stalk
With fearful rapidity the slaughter
proceeds, and not five seconds elapse
between the fall of each head. One
unerring stroke ends each life, and the
victims are so arranged that each can
witness the fate of all those in front OF
him before his turn comes.

The United States now produces
100000 bushels OF peanuts annually,
or Ss,00O,000 pounds. The total world
supply amounts to about 6e0,00O,o00
pounds. The expectation from Africa
and India to Europe during the last year
amounted to nearly 10000, 900 pounds.
Of this quantity a22,0Oo,0o0 pounds were
delivered at the port of Marseilles,
France, the bulk of it being pressed for
oil.
1t is estimated that $4,000, 900 worth
Of peanuts are eaten every year in the
United States, and most of the quanti7
ty, it is said is consumed between
meals and at odd times.

Ten Million Dollars spent Annually In
America for This "Fruit.s

America for This Fruit"
A man incidentally asked a street
vender if his peanms wore frst-class,
and the response to the inquiry was
surprising, says the Chicago Tribune.
"No," said the yender. ''You do not
get frst-class peanuts in this country
in this way, The best peanuts are used
for other purposes. They are made
into meal and grita BY scientific men,
and in Germany they are prepared 5or
sick people in the hospitals. The pea
nuts you get in candy are the very
poorest grade. And ssme of the burnt
almonds which yon get are nothing
more than fourth-rate peanuts"
"Where did the peanut come from?s
From Central and South America.
They grow there in long pods, and the
pods contain from four to five kernels.
They were carried to the old world in
the early days, and in the seventeenth
century they constituted the chief
staple of Africa. You will find if you
look it up shat the slave dealers Of
Africa in those days used to load their
ships with peanuts to be used as foed
for their human cargoes, The negroes
who were imported from Africa to this
country brought over the peanut and
they were scattered and first grew in
Virginia. And now this country is rails
ing the cropt and, owing to American
shrewdness, the nut is ground and used
FOR various purposes and shipped all
over the world.
Il reckon you know" the yender con-
tinued, that peanuts in certain eondl-
tion are more nutritious than beef.
When specially prepared they rank
with beans and peas. The peanut is
said to contain 90 per cent. of protein
and 20 per cent. of fat. WHAT'S known
as peanut meal contains 81 per cent. of
! protein and per cent. OF fat. tits the
cheapest of all food materials"
In 1861 and 1855 peanut oil was mans
ufactured largely in four southern
states, and was employed as substi-
tute for olive oil. In fact, one drug
gist admitted, some of the "olive oil'
sold now in this country is nothing
more than peanut oil. Nearly all OF the
olive oil sold in The United States is
mixed with part of the peanut. Pea,
nuts furnish from 80 to so per cent Of
the weight of their kernels in oil,
Sometimes peanut oa is used for light,
ing, and again it is utilized to advan-
tage in the making of soap and as a
lubricant in machine shops.
The American peanut is lager and
better favored than any othsr, but it
does not contain so much OIL as the Afv
riean nut. The "ealxe" which is left
after extracting the oil makes excellcnt
feed for cattle, and is used very largely
for that purpose in Germany, where it
sells for $50 to $50 ton. This country
owes to Germany the suggestion it has
received in relation to the edible quail
ties of peanuts, and the department of
agriculture is now investigating the
method of Germany in the way in
which that country has handled the
nut, and the'result is to be published
by the department for the benefit of
the farmers.
