Peanuts for Consumptiycs.

The Journal of Hygiene states that
DR.. Brewer has new idea concerning
food for consumption. His treatment
consists of the inhaling the fumes OF
vinegar and the eating of peanuts.
He gives his patients as many peanuts
as they can eat without injuring their
digestive organs. Two young ladies,
who had been the rounds of the doc
tors and taken cod liver oil and tonics
till they were nearly dead, were put
ON his treatment and recovered. Con-
cerning these cases, DIR. Brewer says :
"I now commenced feeding lido not
laugh) peanuts. One would think
this very indigestible diet, but they
craved them, and it has always been
my policy to find out what my patients
desired to eat. and unless it is too un-
reasonable l humor them. Both young
ladies have become quite plump and
after years inhalation have ceased
coughing and pronounced them we'll.
The peanut was long known as ON ex-
cellent fat-producer, and much more
agreeable than rancid shark oil that
oftentimes is sold for cod liver oil.
While not all can digest peanuts 0
great many even with feeble digestion
eat them without discomfort. 1t beats
the Koch lymph, and it is the most
satisfactory treatment [ have ever
tried for these diseases.

Story of n Vanished Mine.

The story of the "White Cement"
mine is a curious one. One day gold
seeker named White came into Horse
Head Gulch, California, from Northern
New Mexico, and took out of his pack
number of pieces of what looked like
hard white clay glittering with specks
of metal, Before night it was known
in the camp that Whites specimens
showed one thousand ounces to the
ton. The excitement was intense. In
the morning q party called on the
owner of the specimens, and told him
that he must pilot the men to his find.
He should have the pick of the claim,
and help to work it, but go he must;
and on his refusal, was warned that
his life would not be worth shucks if
he "stood Of" the camp. Then he
consented. The trail went down and
across the Rockies. 1t led along rocky
trails, up and down canons, and across
mountain crests. On the evening of
the third day White said the miners
were near to their journeys end.
Every one lay down that night expect
ing to arise millionaire. In the
morning, White was gone, and had
left no trace. One half of the party,
after incredible suffering, got back to
life and civilization and yet, despite
their story, one hundred men started
back over their trail two days later.
Three years after, White reappeared
in Salt Lake City with his cement
specimens as before, incredibly rich,
and again disappeared, and from that
time to this has never been heard of.
But men still wear out their lives in
seeking this "Lost Cement" mine

What Health Is.

The popular notion that ON athlete,
because of his athleticism, is healthy
man, is a delusive one. Muscular de-
velopment is not an affair of the con-
stitdtion; it is an accident. Strong
limbs and weak heart are not infre-
quently associates. Many "strong
man" dies prematurely of consump-
tion. If health may be defined as
capacity for holding on to life, then in
many cases the weaklings are the
healthiest.
IF such a definition is accurate, wo-
men are healthier than men; their
average length Of days is greater than
mans. But it is doubtful if centena-
rians, merely because they are centena-
rians, are the healthiest. I knew the
case of woman, who recently died at
the age of 105, vino was slightly par
alyzed even as child, and who was
practically helpless-completely so for
more than seventy years. Gould such
one have ever been described as
healthy? 1t is as hard to say what life
is as to say what in which unhealthy
folks are tenacious of life is not the
lesst of marvels.

NIaxims For Advertisers.

A good advertisement always brings
in more than it takes out.
An advertisement doesn't knock OH
work when the store is closed.
Persistent advertising is the corner
stone of success.
No advertisements are bad, but some
advertisements are better than others.
When wise woman has money to
spend she consults the advertising
columns of the newspapers and after
wards consults her husband.
Advertising is a plaster which mer-
chants put on the world to draw busi-
ness out OF it.
Advertisements are like birds-it
isn't always those that have the finest
feathers that are the best singers.
An advertisement is the only per-
petual motion yet discovered.
A lazy business man need never ex-
pect to get any rest by advertising fol-
it.
Advertising is the best fertilizer fol
the soil of business.-Fame.

How TO Keen Warm.

Our bodily heat is supplied by food
and preserved by clothiug. In cold
weather we lose that heat by tradition.
evaporation and conduction, and We
can control or almost suspend these
cooling processes by the judicious se'
lection of our clothing. Linen, il
worn next to the skin in cold weather,
simply means starvation by its we'll
known property of being good con-
ductor of heat, whilst flannel and
wooden clothing comfortably and
pleasantly preserves the internal
warmth of the body. Most people in
stinctively know all this; but it is not
every one that understands that han.
nei or wooden undergarmcnts arc
needed just as much in summer as in
winter. In summer, these materials
dry up profuse perspiration and check
overquick evaporation-eyapor
according to well-known law, pro-
duces cold or chill. A complete outfit
of flannel or wooden goods is really an
excellent winter Investment" and
will, in the end, be found both Geo.
nomical and comforting. 1t is often
suggested that the expenses OF these
garments limit their free use, forget
ting that well-clothed man or child
eats less than one differently clad
thus the original cost of the clothing
becomes less and less each meal.
Again, well-clothed man will not
linger about the house instead of
speedily following his outdoor occu-
patton, nor will he and his properly
clad children be so liable to colds,
coughs, rheumatism and doctor bills.
In winter, We often see it announced
that some generous individual has dis
tributed SO many tons of coal to the
poor; but, comforting and useful as
such gift must be to those to whom
q good fire is almost unknown, still We
suggest that, if the same money value
were distributed in the form Of
blankets or warm clothing, the result
ing benefits would be tenfold-for a
blanket lasts long time. while ton
of coal is only too quickly burnt away.

Rananas Are Very lsashlul.

"California celery for size, domestic
for cr1spness and flavor" was South
Water street commission merchants
answer to n question regarding the re-
lative merits of Western and home
grown celery.
"All the celery grown around Chi
cago," ne continued, "and northward
toward Kalamazoo has been of small
size and inferior appearance this year,
but in flavor it is far better than the
California celery.
"CaliIornia celery brings twice or
three times the best price paid for the
domestic, ranging as high as seventy
five cents, against ten to twenty-five
cenis for homegrown"
Chow is the supply Of orangeskeep-
ing pace with the demand?" was asked.
"rhe failure of the Florida orange
crop has sent us abroad for the bulk
of what we use. Messina, Valencia,
Palermo and other varieties have
stepped in to help out the American
market. Ocean freight rates are SO
low that it costs little more to bring
fruit from the old country than to s1lp
it across the continent. So, while
Europe supplies the American de,
fciency. it also keeps down the price
of the scarcer American product.
Bananas are fair and not ruling high,
$1.50 being the average price. Few
people have any idea OF how sensitive
fruit the banana is or how great the
risk involved in importing it. The
punches are brought here in bales OF
hay to protect the fruit from chilling.
I've known of cargoes being chilled
crossing the gulf. On the other hand,
if the fruit is kept too long it scalds.
This liability to loss through changes
OF temperature adds its proportion to
the merket price. Chicago Record.

The Air Chisel.

Much of the rich sculpturing in the
new Congressional Library building,
Washington, is being done by the use
of new invention in the shape of an
air chisel. By the use of this marve-
lous little machine the modern statue
is carved quickly and with precision
almost equal to the old masters. OF
course, modelin plaster is necessary,
the compressed air chisel being used
simply for reproduction. The tool is
not unlike the dentists drill. Itruns
under about thirty pounds pressure and
strikes blow between 1900 and 1900
times a minute. An expert does e1-
cellent work with this machine, which
cuts marble as easily as the carving
of steamed wood. Inventive Age.

Apples are also excellent brain food,

The best time to eat apples is just
before going to bed, for they are sure
to promote sound and healthful sleep.

IN THE SNOW.

Deep in snow the country road
Winds across the snowy hill,
All the fields with drifts are white,
And the flakes are falling still.
Der the pine-tree grim and old,
Like beggar in the cold,s.
Over ragged oaks that stand
Gaunt and gray on every hand,
Over elm trees bare and brown,
Still the snowaakes flutter down,
In the woods the little brooklet
Trembles as the chill winds blow,
And the white birch shakes and shivers
In the snow.
Pale and pure against the sky
Family CLEANS the villagesspire,
Steadfast still through mondays sun,
Evening mist, or morning fire.
And the snowaakes slowly fall
In their whiteness over all,
Till the slender bending stems
OF the grasses CLEAN like gems.
And crystal fret-work fine
Covers every tangled vine,
Safely, sweetly, rest the dreamers
In the quiet town below,
In the silent town, safe folded
In the snow. -
Restlessly the eager wind
Echoes like throbbing lutte,
Till the willows in the hollow
Culver and are mute.
Under rifted cloudsesof gray
With her troubles put away,
Now the old world lieth whito
In the patient hush of night,
Not dream of sorrow thrills
Through the silence Of her hills.
God has touched her cloudy valleys,
flushed her countless tones Of woe,
and with sweet forgiveness folds her
In the snow.
