Nut Cracking ~ a Trade.

There are in Chicago a considerable
number of men and women, mostly
Italians. who make a fair living by
cracking pecan nuts. 1t is a recognized
trade. They take orders regularly from
the fruit stands and stores and supply
them with cracked nuts. So far as pos
sible they keep their methods in shadow.
They crack them with hammers, but
they get no such disheartening result as
the amateur who essays the same at
tempt They have no little pieces to
pick up, but every kernel comes out in
neat, unbroken halves. This is because
they soak the nuts over night in soft
water. Chicago Tribune.

Mckinley ON silver,

The predominant feature Of Nc.
kinlcy's canvass for the presidential
nomination was up to the adoption
OF the st. Louis platform his reticence
upon the currency question. Neither
Mckinley nor his political managers
could be induced to utter one word
upon the subject. To entreaty and
ridicule alike they were dumb. From
the date Of the launching OF the Nc
kinley boom until the present time
Mckinley has Persistently refused to
define his position regarding the free
coinage Of silver. This led to the
sitting Of McKinley's financial record.
The examination disclosed the fact
that he has invariably been the
friend OF the white metal. This has
led to the widespread belief that
should he be elected to the presi-
dency and free coinage bill were
presented to him from congress he
would INTERESTINGLY approve it. A
