She Died OF Glanders.

Mrs. Robert Starks, wife OF q rancher
living between Poway and Oliveuhain,
thirty miles north Of San Diego, COL,
was standing beside team of horses
while her husband was unhitching
them when one of the animals sneezed,
blowing saliva into Mrs. Starks's face
and upon her hands. She wiped the
spots off and washed her hands and
face and thought nothing more about
it. Two days later she began to suf-
fer fearful agony, with every symptom
indicating poison by glanders. The
animal did not show signs of the dis
case, but as soon as the doctors pro-
nounced Mrs. Starks's malady as CLAN
ders the animal was killed and burned.
Mrs. Starks's sufferings grew worse
constantly, and, though the best OF
medical assistance was given, she could
not be relieved until death came. The
doctors said there was no doubt as to
the affection, as every symptom was
present. Mrs. Starks was only thirty
five years of age and in perfect health.
During the last two days of her suffer
ings she repeatedly asked for IN opiate
that would bring death to her relief.
The glands of her lower jaw were
frightfully swollen, and there was o
continuous discharge of poisonous
mucus matter very dangerous to her
attendants.-SanF Francisco Chronicle.

Growing Peanuts.

Peanuts ore grown in the South, but
like many other Southern products,
they con be equally we'll grown on dry,
warm land in the Northern States.
The nuts require long soaking before
being planted. A full week is none
too long, in which time the nut will
swell and be just.on the point OF burst
ing. Then put it two inches below the
surface and pack the soil closely
around it. Tho nuts grow underground
in punches. The plant is very pro
life, and though the nuts are small,
the yield on good soil is large. Whom
fully ripe, or just before the vines are
killed by frost, pull them, bringing up
the punches of peanuts, which will ad-
here to the vines much as potatoes do
when pulled. Some OF the peanuts
will be detached from the vines, but
not enough to pay for digging over
again. In the South, pigs are turned
in to harvest the leayings, and some
times, when the price OF peanuts is
low, the bogs harvest q good deal of
the crop. The small peanuts are earlier
than the large ones, and as they are
less likely to grow defective nuts, with
shells only, instead OF kernels, they
should have the preference for North
ern growers. The peanut needs to be
growing oil the season, as soon rs the
ground warns in spring for starting
it, and growing as long MS frost holds
of in the fall. We have eaten some
Northern-grown peanuts and they
were just as good as those grown in
Virginia and Tennessee, whence the
larger part of our supplies come

Lesson In Courtesy.

The uncourteousness Of postofice

Occasionally, however, the fair Great

utes before the closing hour, the mer-

calmly asked: Gam I too late?"
"only just in time," replied the
damsel Grossly.

"F-f-forty- -eight!" gasped the bor-

The red hat of o cardinal costs him
more money than kings pay for any
except their very best crowns. Be-

must make offerings to the propaganda

pay fees to long list of officials,

Guards. Indeed, the new cardinal has
to pay fees at every step from the mo,
