DIR. Macnish, the great Edinburgh
physician, explodes the old story Of
somnambulists waking the moment
they touch water with their bare feet.
He knew an Irish sleep-walker who
c climbed out Of bed one cold fall
night and swan two miles down q
river, got ashore, and was subsequent
" found sleeping soundly by the river
side, perfectly unconscious of the ex
traordinary feat he had reformed.

at night, find his way to the stable,
saddle and bride his horse, enjoy 8
long gallop and finally return home,
and arouse the whole family while
prowling around in a somnambulistic
sleep.
DIR. Pritchard further said that this
man could only be aroused by having
the soles of his feet tickled.
The memory Of sleep-walkers Is ex-
traordinary, not 10 say phenomenal,
especially when under the peculiar i'm
pulse of the disease which prompts
their movements. Moritz gives an IN

In a Peanut Factory.

When the peanut arrives at the
factory they are rough and earth
stained. and Of all sizes and qualities,
iumhled together. The bags are first
taken up by iron arms projecting from
an cuIless chain to the fifth story of
the factory. Here they T weighed
and cmptied Into large bins. From
these bins they fall TO the next story,
into large cylinders, fourteen feet
long. which revolve rapidly, and by
friction the nuts are cleaned from the
earth which clings TO them, and
polished, So that they come out white
and ghstening.
From thisstO-y the nuts fail through
shoots to the third and most interest
ing floor. Imagine rows of long,
narrow tables. each divided lengthwise
into three sections by thin, inch-high
strips of wood. These strips also sur
round the edge Of the table. Each OF
these sections is hoored with a strip
of heavy white canvas which moves
necessarily from the mouth of the
shoot 20 an opening leading down be-
low at the further end of the table.
These slowly moving canvas bands
about q foot wide, are called the pick
Ing aprons.
Upon the outer aprons of each table
dribbles down from the shoota slender
stream of peanuts, and ON each side of
the table, so close together as scarcely
90 have "elbow room, stand rows of
negro girls and women picking Quit the
inferior peanuts as they pass and
throwing them INTO the central see
ton. So fast do their hands 10 NJ
this work that n cannot see what
they are doing till they cast a handful
of nuts into the middle division. BY
the time q nut has passed the sharp
ewes and quick hands OF eight or ten
uickers one may be quite certain that
1t is u hrst-class article, nit for the
final plunge down two stories into a
bag which shall presently be marked
with a brand which viii command for
it the highest market price.
The peanuts from the central aprons
fall only to the second story, where
they undergo yet another picking over
ON similar tables, the best ofthese the
second grade. The third grade OF
peanuts, or what remains after the
second picking, is then turned into a
machine which brushes the shells and
separates them from the kernels.
These are sold TO the manufacturers OF
candy, while the shells are ground NJ
and used for horse bedding. So no
part of this little fruit, vegetable, or
nut, whichever It may turn out to be,
Is finally wasted, but AL serves some
useful purpose Blu and Gray.
