THE PEANUT.
Where and How 1t Grows, and How
1T In Skinned


The eating Of peanuts. especially
among the very large class of persons
who care far more about gratifying
their tastes than cutting figure in the
fashionable world, is almost as common
as the habit of walking on other peo-
pies feet in the cars without the for
mality Of an apology AS popular
article of diet 1t ranks ahead Of the
apple and follows closely upon the
heels of the succulent orange and the
treacherous banana. It's economic
value Is equally great 1t may there
fore be interesting to note that the
popular vague supposition that the
peanut is imported from somewhere
or other and comes to the market in
the separate pods familiar to every
body, all ready to be eaten is errone-
GUS. Though the plant was originally
native of South America, 1t has since
been cultivated, not only in many of
warmer countries in the old world.
but Is now planted with great success
In the United States, especially in Vir-
g1nia and the Carolinas. The peanut
receives its name from it's pod. which
Is similar in form to that of the pea.
IL Is also known in some countries as
the ground or earth nut. It is a trail

and here, several inches in the soil. the
fruit develops and ripens. The seeds
are very oily, and are for this reason,
largely employed in the manufacture
OF soap and an oil resembling olive
oil. A bushel Of peanuts will yield
about one gallon of OIL The leaves re-
semble@ clover and are used for fodder.
Peanuts thrive best in a light. loamy
soil plowed deeply. Fifty bushels per
acre have been produced in good
ground. The nuts mature after the
hrst frost, when the vines are dug with
forks dried, and then cured by smok
Ing, after which the pods are picked
by hand, placed in a tanning mill to
be cleaned, and occasionally bleached
with sulphur. Then they are put in
bags and sent to the markets ready for
the peanut enthusiast, the Italian. who
SO Well understands the roasting of
this nut.
AS to their consumption, the figures
are something really startling, New
York city alone taking over 1000, 900
bushels annually, other cities averag-
ing in about this proportion. They are
very nutritious, some devotees to the
peanut habit claiming that a few taken
after a meal will act as pepsin.

OF the many ailments peculiar to the
United States that are exported to

that has so far baffled the preservative
qualities Of refrigeration. This is the
coquina, q small bivalve found in Flor

than half an inch long by one-quarter

sand at low tide, its whereabouts being
indicated by small tuft of grass in

employed as food, conquina when gath.

exposed to the action of the waves to
remove as much as possible the par

however, Is only partly effective. They
are boiled. shells and all, in a pot In a

Is a curious paradox that the largest
and the smallest of the CLAIMS found
on the Atlantic coast possess an iden-
teal taste. The great quOhogues, or
sea CLAIMS, washed upon our Northern
sand beaches In storms are In magni-
ffcent proportions Of the same general
shape as coquina- They also make a
delightful puree Of the same flavor as
that impaired by the minute Florida
biyalve. Moreover, they are available
for other culinary concoctions to a
very superior degree. While coquina
are never sold In Northern markets, the
great quohogue Is occasionally obtain
able. AS a rule 1t is a delicacy re-
served for those who live directly upon
the beaches: for, unless these be frozen,
the CLAIMS soon as cast upon the shore
bury themselves with surprising ce-
lerity in the sand. To find some meth

ida to our Northern markets is worthy
OF effort. inasmuch as their use In the
manner described above will offer an
epicurean diversion In field of all

WHAT WE THINK OF Ut,

To the Editor of the Globe. 80 49,
What does the G / o b think of this plan
Let every man who has one ounce OF gold
buy Sixteen ounces Of silver, or the one that
has, sixteen ounces of silver buy one ounce
of gold and receive coin notes for them. BY
this plan 1t would create market for silver
and still the country would not be hooded
with silver.
This is only an idea I suggest for the
G Lobe S consideration. Respectfully,
William Friese.
St. Cloud, Mimi. July 4, 1896.
We do not think that it would do at
all, and for several reasons. AS mat
tiers now stand everybody who had sill
yer would very quickly dispose of 1t in
exchange for coin notes at a ratio
double it's market value. because II
these notes should be redeemed in gold
the holder would make 100 per cent by
the operation, and If they should be re-
deemed II. silver he would lose nothing.
The owner Of gold. being in exactly the
opposite situation, would do nothing or
the kind These coin notes, In their
turn. must be redeemed in one metal
or the other. Il redeemable in gold
that would add just that much more to
the bulk of paper money that over
burdens our too Slender gold reserve,
and intensity the existing trouble.
which consists solely of lack Of conf
dence and fear of a deprecated cur
rency. If redemption in gold were re-
fused, then we would go to a silver
basis forthwith The very last thing
that we want now Is any more paper
money based on silver, but pledged to
command gold redemption, unless the
parity Of the metals is to be destroyed.
We may add that we see no reason
why the government should create
a market for silver" at the expense Of
national prosperity and national honor.
This is to us the most amazing assump-
ton in the whole schedule of financial
vagaries. That the government should
be under some obligation to create q
market for one particular product, no
matter what 1t costs to do so. is an ex-
tension and exaggeration Of the pro-
tective principle that Is the farthest
possible from meeting our approval.

Of commons for many years az a member for

and yet one Of the most eloquent men in the

not slight one and at times made him drop

to answer questions in the house for that

grow upon him In the glowing rhythm OF

over his weakness, and in his e1oquence there
was more poetic feryor than the house is
nowadays accustomed to, and he invariably
succeeded In impressing his hearers.
