HOW N GROW.
Some Interesting Eacts Which Are No
Generally Known.

Some Interesting Facts Which Are Not
Generally known.
All boys, and a good many of their
sisters, are fond Of peanuts. Every
body knows that no circus is COM
plete without them, but probably not
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 OF certain regions, but it is
found, too, in South America and Eu-
rope, the species varying Slightly III
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 it like
pea pods. A single vine will, it is esti-
mated, produce about 100 nuts if it is
of the average good condition. At this
rate the yield per acre is 40 bushels.
Three varieties of these nuts are grown
therc-the white, red and the Spanish.
They are readily distinguished, as they
have individual characteristics. The
next time you eat q peanut with two
kernels very white, with pink skins,
you will know it is of the white
variety. which is the most important.
The shell Of the red nut sometimes
holds three or four dark kernels, and it's
skin is of q decidedly dark red, SO you
cannot mistake that; while the Spanish
nut is SO much smaller, with a lighter
skin than either Of the others, thnt it
will not be mistaken for either. Nearly
100000 bushels Of peanuts are used in
this country every year.

His Criticism.

Professional art critics are by no
G the only people whose opinions
of pictures are worth hearing, as many
an artist has found out. Michael Heri-
Thy had his little shop insured in n pop
ular company aud the agent presented
him with q highly-colored Autograph
representing the burning Of a block OF
buildings.
MI. Herlihy surveyed the picture for
some moments, mut,ering to himself the
while. At last he turned n dissatisfied
face upon the agent.
"Its moighty purity" he said, @but it's

A Rush for the Horse Show.

Some notion Of the Importance which
the horse show holds in the hearts of a
large number of Americans may be
gathered from the fact that the Bruins
wick and Waldorf hotels have practical
ly refused to accept any guests during
the horse show week.
Every room III these big hotels has
been spoken for and the Waldorf goes
so far as to that it will not
undertake to serve dinners or luncheons,
aside from those aleady scheduled, DUR
ing the entire week of the exhibition.
This announcement has, of course, start
ed a mad rush to these hotels, as the
public dearly loves to crowd in where
there is said to be no room.
The time for the horse show is still
some distance away but it is as general
ly talked about as if it were to take
place next month. 1t is evident that the
four-in-hand competitions will be a fea-
ture of the show.
The gossip over the four-in-hand con
test at Philadelphia has not yet dwin-
died out and the extraordinary COACH
ing season of last year has spurred the
drivers of tours into such unusual &C.
tivitv hat the number of entries is sure
to be double that of last year.-Boston

Tho Farm-Home Lawn.

There are but few Things which, ut
small expense, add SO much to the APP
lawn. In order that it may aid nate
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 small and very simple, yet if it
is kept clean, and the grass short und
even, it will greatly add to the attrac-
tiveness of the home to which it be-
longs. Such q lawn almost any farmer
can have simply by taking care of it.
The beauty of the lawn itself, to say
nothing of the improved appearance Of
the farm, will pay mostliberally for the
little time and labor required to keep
it in good condition.-Rural World.

been cultivated in truck and potntocs.
1t requires some care to pass the trees
without injuring them, but they will
very quickly repay this extra attention.
Each spring, about the time the leaves
begin to put out, the N.unks and larger
branches are thoroughly washed with a

o soft rag to apply it. Itkeeps thebark

more nearly representative than the
smaller Gig. y. The tenants on five
adjoining farms owned by one man were
furnished with n hundred OF more trees
to the farm. Thus the trees were all
planted at the same time, in similar soil,
and from the same lot of trees, so that
the only difference must come as a di-
rect result of the planting and after
care received. In the best one of these
orchards there was no stinting in dig

fully spread and the soil mixed with
stable manure, firmly packed about
them. Every winter the ground has
been covered with manure taken directly
from the stable, a few extra forkfuls
being thrown close about each tree,

Do Plant. navo Intelligence.

Have plants intelligence? Do they
ever think? These T interesting qucs-
tions that would have to be answered
by the statement Of an observer of the
ways of pumpkins and melons: "Plants
often exhibit something very much
like intelligence. If a bucket of water,
during q dry season, be placed n few
inches from a growing pumpkin or
melon vine, the latter will turn from
its course and in q day OF two will get
one Of It's leaves in the water" We do
not vouch for the truth Of this, but It
might make IN interesting experiment
for this eummer.-Rural World.

GOOD ROADS CHEAPEST.
Some Sensible Observations Made by /.
Missouri Farmer.

some sonsiblo obnervatiens Made by .
Missouri Farmer.
During the last winter the roads wero
never in a worse condition. Their bad
effects were seriously felt in all the
marts of trade. A quarantine would not,
have closed the Of trade and
communication more perfectly. And il
holding board meetings, writing and
talking would have built them, the time
would have been protitably spent. But
while agitation may be necessary, to a
certain extent, it requires something
more substantial to build them. And
whenever a community manifests an
earnest desire to have good roads, there
is always a way to have them. In early
days when the population vas sparse,
and there was but little travel, a mere
trail through the woods was considered
sufficient; and roads could be changed
as often as necessary. But times ave
changed. All the land that could be
used for agricultural purposes is in
closed, and, sink or swim, or stick in the
mud, we are compelled to ccnfine our
selves to the established highway.
Moreover, where there was one lond of
produce marketed so years ago there is
100 marketed to-day, and all the various
kinds of trade, traffic and travel have iu-
creased proportionately.
But good roads cannot be made with
out labor; and labor means money; and
here lies the great obstacle to be over
come in building good roads. a large
majority of taxpayers are ~unalterably
opposed to the expense of buildingthem,
overlooking tho great fact that good
roads cost less than bad ones. 1t is a
well established fact that all our civil
ICED comforts are expensive. But are we
going to reccde from the refined inHu-
ences OF civilization because they cost
something? Nay, verify. Good roads,
like churches and all charitable institu-
tions, exert a civilizing influence wher
ever they are located, and in
moro ways than one the money spentin
building them finds its way back into
the pockets of those who build them.
They draw immigration and enhance
the value of every acre OF lane with
in a reasonable distance. They save the
wear and tear of harness and vehicles.
The merchant, the farmer, them echan-
ic and the day laborer all get their por-
ton, and the whole community is bene-
flied thereby.

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 q survivor:
Suddenly l was reused by a wild, I'M
earthly scream close to my ear. My
companion stood upright beside me, her
arms raised and heA bead bent forward
in the attitude of listening. A look of
intense delight broke over her counter
ance, she grasped my hand, drew me
toward her, and exclaimed: 'Dinna ye
hear itP Dinna ye hear itp All, I'm
no dreamin'; it's the slogan of the High
landers. We're saved, we're saved!'
Then, flinging herself on her knees, she
thanked God with passionate fervor. l
felt utterly bewildered; my English
ears heard only the roar of artillery.
and l thought my poor Jessie was still
raving. but she darted to the batteries.
and l heard her cry necessarily to the
men: Courage! Hark to the slogan
to the Macgregor, the grandest O. them
a! Here's help at last!'
ITO describe the effect of these words
upon the soldiers would be impossible.
For q moment they ceased firing and
every soul listened with intense anxiety.
Gradually, however. there arose q muir
muir of bitter disappointment; and the
wailing of the wonen who had ilocked
out began anew as tho colonel shook
his head. Our dull lowland ears heard
nothing but the rattle of the musketry.
A few moments more of this deathlike
suspense, of this agonizing hope, and
Jessie, who had sunk on the ground.
sprang to her feet and cried in a voice
so clear and piercing that it was heard
along the whole lines: Will ye no be-
lieve it now. Tho slogan has ceased,
but the Campbells are coming-d'ye
hear" At that moment we seemed in
deed to hear the voice of God in the
distance, when the bagpipes of the
Highlanders brought us tidings of de-
liverance. for now there was no longer
any doubt of the fact. The shrill, pen
etrating, ceaseless sound, which rose
above all other sounds, would come
! neither from the advance of the enemy
nor from the work of the sappers. No,
it was indeed the blast of tho Scottish
bagpipes, now shrill and harsh and
threatening vengeance on the foe, then
in softer tone, seeming to promise sue
cor to their friends in need"

O'Conncll received the grateful bless
ing of an Irishman. During the course
Of his circuit in Ireland he was able to
secure the liberation Of Il young son of
Erin who had been charged with some
offense or other. On o second turn
around the country O'Connell again
saved the Irishman from the arm Of

grateful, went up to the advocate, shook
him by the hand and, in the fullness of
his heart, exclaimed: "And may the
