Some Interesting Facts Which Arc Not

some Interesting Facts Which Are Not
Generally known.
All boys, and a good many of their
sisters, nre fond Of peanuts. Every
body knows that no circus is com
plete without them, but probably no
many boys, nor girls either. know just
how they grow, says the New York
Times. The peanut is supposed to be
q native Of Africa, where it forms the
chief food 81 certain regions, but 1t Is
found, too, in South America and Eu-
rope, the species varying slightly in
the different countries. Here in the
United States It is cultivated chiefly In
Virginia, North Carolina and Tenncs-
see. The seed planted is the meat
kernel, and care is taken not to break
the skins. The plant grows like a
vine, and the nuts hang on to 1t like
Pea pods. A single vine will, II Is esti-
mated, produce about 100 nuts IL II Is
OF the average good condition. At this
rate the yield per mere is 40 bushels.
Three varieties of these nuts are grown
there-the white, red and the Spanish.
They are readily distinguished, as they
rave individual characteristics. The
next time you eat q peanut with two
kernels very white, with pink skins,
you will know IL Is of the white
variety. which is the most important.
The shell of the red nut sometimes
holds three or four dark kernels, and its
skin is of q decidedly dark red, 40 you
cannot mistake that; while the Spanish
nut Is SO much smaller, with q lighter
skin than either Of the others, that IL
will not be mistaken for either. Nearly
100000 bushels Of peanuts arc used in
this country every year.

There are but few things which, ut
small expense, add 80 much to the APP
pearance of a farm-home as a well-kept
lawn. In order that it may aid mate
rally in identifying the place, it is not
necessary that the lawn be either large
in area or elaborate in design. 1t may
be very email and very simple, yet II it
is kept clean, and the grass short and
even, it will greatly add to the attrnc-
~tiveness Of the home Va which it be-
longs. Such a lawn almost any farmer
can have simply by taking care of it.
The beauty of the lawn itself, tn say
nothing of the improved appearance Of
the farm, will pay most literally for the
little time and labor required to keep
il in good condition.-Rural World.

A Rush for the Horse Show.

Some notion of the importance which

Every room in these big hotels has

THE STORY OF LUCKNOW.
A Reunion That Called Up Memories OF
That Famous Relief.

Tuesday being the thirty-seventh an
niversary of the entry into Lucknow of
the force under Gems. Havelock and
Outram, the survivors of the original
garrison and of the relieving force
dined together, according TO the annual
custom, says the Blackburn (England)
Times. Gen. Sir William Olpherts, V.
c., presided, and the toast of Our De-
parted Comrades" was drunk in solemn
silence.
The dramatic story of the relief Of
Lucknow is thus told by a survivors:

above all other sounds, would come

Mostly About Julia.

I'm roaming I'm the meadow,
But I'm roaming there alone.
For my dainty little ladyb.rd
10 western lands has flown.
And the minutes seem like hours
And the days are twice as long,
But my head is full Of julia
And my heart is fun of song.
The flowers don't seem half 50 sweet,
The sky amt half 20 blue,
As twas. my little ladyb.rd,
When ] walked there with you:
j know I'm not half living,
I'm just moseying along.
With my head just full ot sunshine
And a heart Just full Of song.
SO always when I'm lonely,
or feeling sad and blue,
I start, my little ladybird,
To think and dream OF you.
And then the sun m bursting out,
My soul feels glad and strong,
When my head Is full Of julia
And my heart is full Of song.
