Peanut Oil.

The utilization of peanut oil in the
manufacture of soap constitutes an
important industry in Marseilles, some
ingenuously operating machine being
used for the purpose. After being
cleaned and shelled the nuts are made
to fall into triturating machine, con-
sisting of pair of cast-iron rollers,
and after being coarsely ground the
meal passes to another machine to be
ground finer, and thence into long
hexagonal case forming sieve, through
which the fine meal passes, while the
coarse is sent back to the rollers
again. The meal is then pressed in
what are termed "scourtins," made OF
horse hair, pressure of 2, $50 pounds
to the square inch being exerted and
left on it for an hour, which sufiices to
extract all that can be obtained in the
first yield; the meal now passes from
the scourtins, is ground a second time,
heated to a temperature of about one
hundred and tifty-eight degrees Fab.
renheit, and ano her pressing effected.
If oil of very fine quality is re-
quired, the nuts are crushed but once,
the partially ground nuts yielding a
smaller but finer product The yield
varies according to tha quality of the
nuts. Mozambique nuts produce
about 80 per cent in the first pressing,
the value being from 70 to 92 francs
per 100 kilos; the second pressing
yields about ~ per cent, the value OF
which is from 45 to so francs per 10C
kilos. 1t is stated that the quantity
OF nuts imported at Marseilles fol
this purpose in 1893 was more thar
100000 600 pounds.

Indians as Hunters.

''It is a remark often made by old
timers who knew the western country
when the red man was as common
there as the tenderfoot is now," said q
sportsman from the Rockies, "that
Indians never scare away game from u
region in which they hunt. But, they
say, wherever the white man comes
with his firearms game is bound to be
killed off or driven away. These say
ings are true, with the qualifying
statement that by reasonable game
laws game of all kinds can be pre-
served and even when nearly extermi-
mated restored to almost its original
plentifulness in districts not too fully
occupied by man and his domestic
creatures.
"Note the Indian in hunting as he
searches out and steals upon the deer
or wild turkeys with his soft tread of
moccasined feet. In the twang of his
bow string and the flight of his
whistling arrow there is no explosive
sound to alarm the creatures near the
one that is struck. He, like them
selves, is in sympathetic accord with the
tints and tones of plain and mountain
and forest, and while endeavoring to
match their craft against his they are
satisfied with trying to avoid him
without abandoning the region where
he abides.
'It is when white hunters of the
sportsman variety invade its haunts,
their presence heralded by the tread
of their booted feet, their clothes
alien in appearance to the wilds, and
their purpose shown by the crack and
crash of firearms, that game begins to
migrate to other feeding grounds.
Add to this the increasing and indis-
criminate slaughter for slaughter's s
sake that characterizes the white man s
hunting and it is easy to see why the
depopulation of the forest and plain,
when unrestricted by law, is speedy
and sure. Ever since the general
adoption by Indians OF firearms for
their hunting it has not been found
that large game has diminished ma
terially in regions in which the white
man is an infrequent visitor, although

An Unpleasant Sound.

81 was certainly more or less
scared number of times when 1 was
in the army" said an old soldier Sin
fact, 1 think soldering in time of war
is more or less harassing occupation
any way; but 1 never was any more
scared than / was once for minute
by something that had nothing to do
with fighting whatever. This hap
pened once when 1 was on picket in
Virginia. The post was in q piece OF
woods. 1t was bad enough in the
daytime; but at night, when you
couldn't see anything at all, it was
worse. 1t seemed as though it got
darker and darker and stiller and
stillcr. and it seemed as though 1t
would never end.
Suddenly it was busted wide open
by the awfulest sound 1 ever heard.
Scared? Well!
"If you've ever felt the feeling that
a man has before he actually gets un-
der fire; when he's layin' back some-
where in reserve, and pretty safe, but
hearing the crackle up ahead, and see-
ing the wounded brought back, and
thinking that pretty soon he's got to
go in himself, why, you know what it
is to have one of the most unpleasant
feelings a man ever had; but there
you know what's coming; this came
with shock. think it was the worst
scare I ever had. 1t came right out
of the air square overhead and close,
too, where I hadn't been looking for
anything-the frightfulest, most un-
earthly sound ever heard; and all 1
could do was to stand there in the
black dark and wait. A minute later
it came again. What tremendous
relief! A screech owl! I'll never
heard one before, but l knew now
what it was. New York Sun.

now TO MAKE DouaHNurs.

If the readers of the New York
Times wish to have real old-fashioned
Dutch dish, they can pi- pare one from
an old recipe which can be traced in q
straight line to the early Dutch set
tiers.
An old New Yorker, n render Of the
New York Times, has asked for q
recipe for making the "olekocks,"
mentioned in the recent interview
with Jere johnson. "Olekocks" were
made by the Dutch the same as dough-
nuts are made, but raisin was in.
serted in the centre of each. Here is
the recipe
"Take one pint Of bakers yeast,
with one teaspoonful of salt. Stir in
-four enough to make stiff batter. Do
this about dark, and put in warm
room to rise. Later take one quart OF
milk warmed to blood heat, put in it
one and a quarter pounds of sugar, six
ounces of lard, six eggs, one nutmeg,
and one teaspoonful of saleratus. Mix
these well together; then pour in the
sponge of yeast and mold up with
enough to make it as stiff as biscuit
dough, work we'll and be careful not to
get it too stiff.
'Let this remain in a warm place all
night In the morning mold out the
cakes about the size of an egg, being
careful not to work them more than is
needful. Put in the centre of each one
or two raisins. AS you mold them, lay
them on a molding board, and set
them in place as warm as possible,
without overheating. Let them now
rise again until very light, when fry in
boiling lard. After taking them from
the kettle, roll them in powdered
sugar, and lay them out too cool. Do
not pile them" That last sentence
is underlined in the recipes.
"The art of making doughnuts is said
to have been learned by the New-Eng.
land people from the Hollanders dur
ing the stay of of the Puritans in Hol-
land. Mr.. johnson, as a student of
all things Dutch and with a critical
knowledge of "olekocks," ancient and
modern, explains. These sweet and
wholesome cakes are known by many
names nowadays, and are made in
various forms. The modern New
Yorker calls them crullers. although
the crullers he eats are not always
made according to the recipe here
given. In some parts of the South
they are known as Friday cakes, a
name due partly to the fact that they
are fried in lard, and partly to the fact
that where so called they are gener-
ally made on Friday. New York
