The humble plebeian peanut is In a
fair way to be wrested from Its OBJ
scure sphere and to be placed in the
front ranks Of popular and pleasing
eatablee, Physicians have declared
that the nut is erich in albumen con-
tanning 50 per cent of 1t, and that 1t
also contains 20 per cent Of fat and
non-nltrogenous extractive matters"
All kinds Of dishes are now being
prepared Of peanuts, soup being espe-
cially recommended, 1t is made as
split pea soup is made, soaking the
peanuts over night. Peanut sandwiches
are said to be excellent, made by
pounding the skinned nuts and spread
ing thickly on slices Of buttered bread.
Mayonnaise dressing may be mixed
with the nuts or grated cheese. Boiled
in sailed water, roasted and sailed,
pounded, or grated, the peanut is be-
coming a staple food.

Alligators we're formerly one OF the
chief animal life tenants Of Red River
and the bayous Of Louisiana, where, be-
fore steamboat navigation came to in
terrupt them, they could be seen by
hundreds huddled together on the
banks or massed on the floating or sta
tionary logs especially Of Red River
waking the solitudes of the forest
with their bull-libe believing. Their
length was generally between eight
and twelve feet, although they some
times grew to be twenty feet long.
Their hides were once used extensively
for the making of shoes, but the leath.
er, not proving Of sufficiently close tex
ture to keep water out, shoemaklng
from this material was abandoned.

Science is ever adapting materials
from the vast laboratories Of nature to
practical use. We have almost arrived
at a rediscovery of malleable glass. At
all events, glass is now ranked among
our textile fabrics. In Venice man
ufacturer Is turning out bonnets by
the thousand from glass cloth. They
have the simmer and brilliancy Of
silk and are Of nearly any color. They
are impervious to water. For long
time in Russia had existed a tissue
manufacture from the fiber of pc
culiar filmentous stone from Siberia.
By some process 1t Is shredded and
spun into fabric, soft to the touch
and Of exquisite pliability, durable in
the extreme. When soiled, as 1t Is In
destrucible by fire. it is simply sub
jected to heat sufficient to drive out all
the dirt. In the case Of the glass silk
however, 1t will not stand such extreme
heat. 1t may be made clean again by
simply brushing with a hard brush
and soap and water, when 1t Is none
the worse for being either stained or
soiled. The material is now to be had
in white, green, lilac, pink, and yellow
1t bids fair to become fashionable for
evening dresses. The new fabric is
rather costly. 1t is also made for use
as table-cloths, napkins, and window
curtains. 1t is even claimed that glass
is capable Of being made into fabric
which may be worn next to the skin
without the slightest discomfort. An
Austrian is the inventor Of this new
textile.-London Inventor.

The land of the Free
And the home Of the Slave?
The dark clouds of unrest
are gathering about our fair in
heritance, bought at the sacrifice
of blood and fortunes of our
sainted torefathers. Great dan
gers menace us from all sides.
No foreign foe with impious
hand' threatens us, but. from
within the bounds of our own
glorious land there has arisen,
nourished by our own liberal
institutions, foe more danger
Gus, more insidious than ever
before lifted it's Hydra head" to
confront an outraged and down
trodden people. That foe is
"Plutocracy," as imp1aciab1e a
monster as ever used his unholy
endcav0rs to enslave and SUBJ

Brother Workingnen, it rests
with you. Shall we meet this
foe as men or as cravens? Shall
we bow our necks to the yoke
and in humiliation submit to our
masters ? No No.! Ten
thousand times no! Better to
die free men and lie in the
potters field than to die slaves
and be buried beneath STORED
marble.
When the "Ides of November"
again come to us you will be
called upon to decide who shall

"Goldy raised his hand half
threateningly, but suppressed his
passion and pointed towards the
door. In despair, Sanders left
the house and wandered along
the streets till dark.
Colby went back to the dining
room, his temper unrufHed, and
drank considerable wine
Sanders at length started
YEARLY toward his home, to see
how his wife was getting on.
The Parish doctor had said she
would die when last he called.
And he had there a daughter
whose honor was precious to
him.
It was with some fear that he
shambled along the dull, dirty
streets to his home. His wife
might be dead, yes, he knew she
might be dead. But what Of it?
And he beat his fists fercely upon
his breast and his breath came
thick and fast. A moment later
his passion subsidized.
AS he neared his home his pace
slackencd-it was slow enough
before he began appealing
to the passers-by for aims. But
they were in a hurry and roughly
shook him off. Some were as
destitute as himself, and chuckled
with merriment at the idea of
anyone asking them for aid!
At last he reached the tenement
in which he lived. With one last
appeal, which was answered
with a curse and an attempted
blow, he crawled up the steps.
Up, up, he went, one two three
flights, until he grew tired at the
very counting. He was home.
He pulled a key out of his
pocket, and put it in the door.
"Her honor" he muttered. He
opened the door. Lying on a
pile of straw were two women,
mother and daughter.
The younger one, who still re-
tanned the bloom of youth on
her cheeks, raised herself on one
arm and looked at her father.
Flows mother?' was the first
question.
"Dead!' said the girl sullenly
''Dead!' repeated the father
mechanically. "When did she
die?'
ABOUT noon. Did you get
anything to eat?"
no." said the man, gasping.
