Products of the Peanut.

In Europe this nut has various uses
which are only beginning to be recog-
nized in this country, the first recogni-
ton being that of Virginia company
which handles the peanut products. The
principal products are peanut oil for
cooking and table purposes and confec-
TONERS use, peanut cribble for confec-
tionery, peanut grits for soap, etc., pea
nut flour for baking and peanut bran
for stock feed. The oil is highly valued
in Europe, and it is stated that fully
$5,00O,OOO worth of peanuts are brought
into Marseilles annually for the manu-
facture of oil, which is used in toilet
soaps and for other purposes. The pea
nut flour is, quite extensively used in
Europe and is made into bread, cakes,
biscuit, etc. It is one of the favorite ar
ticles Of food in the hospitals of Ger
many. The estimated product of five
tons Of peanuts amounts to 235 gallons
Of refined oil, at 81 per gallon; 175 gall
Ions of crude oil, at 80 cents; 3, $50
pounds of flour and meal, at 2 cents per
pound; $500 pounds Of stock feed, at
60 cents per hundred pounds, making
$415. 90 in all. In the mechanical han
ding Of peanuts they are first crushed
and cut between suitable rollers. Then
the cut and crushed mass is submitted
to hot bath for separating the shells
and kernels and finally the kernels are
dried to separate them from their skins.

FOOD THAT MAN NEEDS,
A Wise Combination Necessary to Kee

A Wise Combination Necessary to Keep
the Body In Order.
GAS in the daily wear and tear of
life great deal Of the substance of a
mans body is used up, it is absolutely
necessary that the repair to the body be
carefully and Systematically looked aft
er." writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer in The
Ladies' Home Journal. "'Then, too,
man must create heat and force, accord
ing to the climate in which he lives and
the occupation he follows. A wise COM
bination of food is, therefore, necessary
to keep the body in working order. In
cold weather we need a larger amount
Of carbonaceous foods-fats, sugars and
starches- than we do in summer. In
the hot climates and during the hot
months fruit and green vegetables, con-
tanning the salts necessary to keep the
blood in good condition, should be used
freely.
"According to our method Of living
in this country, we should take about
two parts Of repair food-such as meat,
eggs, milk, cheese, or, in the vegetable
kingdom, the old peas, beans and lentils
TO three parts Of carbonaceous food
such as white bread, potatoes, rice, but
ter, cream and fats Of all kinds Then
we must have certain amount Of bulky
or watery vegetables, such as lettuce,
spinach, cabbage, onions and also the
fruits. In making out daily ration We
should have at the beginning of the
meal some light dish that may be taken
slowly, to prepare the stomach for the
food that is to follow, then meat or
its equivalent. With beef we should
serve potatoes; with mutton, rice. With
chickens, either rice or potatoes

Thrifty to the Last.

An old Lancashire miller, noted for
his keenness in matters financial, was
once in a boat trying his best to get
across the stream which drove his mill.
The stream was flooded, and he was
taken past the point at which he want
ed toland, while, farther on, misfortune
still further overlook him, to the extent
that the boat got upset. His wife, real
izing the danger he was in, ran fran
tically along the side Of the stream, cry

her sheer amazement, she was suddenly
brought to standstill by her husband

THE PERSIAN GULF.
Natural Phenomena Which to tho On.
travelled Might Appear Incredible.

Natural Phenomena Which to tho Un.
travelled Might Appear Incredible.
In his address az president Of the
British Institution of Electrical Engi-
neers Sir Henry Nance said it was in
connection with athe cable to India, by
way of the Persian gulf, that his asso-
citation with the submarine telegraph
commenced. In the Persian gulf one &C.
casionally witnessed natural phenomena
which, to the untraveled, might appear
incredible. In the midst of the noun
tains near Mussendom hehad seen during
thunderstorm such displays of light
ming as baffled description. He had, at
certain seasons Of the year, observed the
water in the bay-which was large
enough to hold all the fleets of the
world present exactly the appearance
of blood. Not many miles from Mussen-
dom he had witnessed mysterious fire
circles fitting over the surface of the
sea at speed of 100 miles an hour, a
phenomenon which no one had yet been
able to explain.
While steaming along the coast Of
Baluchistan he had been called from
his cabin at night to observe the more
common phenomenon of a milky sea,
the water for miles around being sin
gularly white and luminous. In the
same locality the sea was, for short Pc
RODS, as if putrid, the fish being de-
stroyed in myriads, so that to prevent
pestilence measures had to be taken
to bury those cast up on the beach. This
phenomenon was doubtless due to the
outbreak of a submarine volcano and
the liberation of sulphureted hydrogen.
In these waters jellyfh were as large
as footballs, and sea snakes of brilliant
hue were met with in great numbers.
On one occasion a swarm Of sea snakes
forced their way up one of the creeks
in Karachi harbor, apparently for the
purpose Of having battle royal, for the
ground between high and low water
mark was thickly covered with their
bodies in positions which betokened a
deadly struggle. Boston Transcript.

A Scotch Beau Brummel.

A Scotch weekly paper named Saint
Mungo tells Of the costume Of some of
the gentry who may be seen walking
upon the fashionable streets of Edin-
burgh. One citizen is described as fol-
lows: "Mr. Theodore Napier is we'll
known figure in Edinburgh. He walks
along Princes street in a kilt of royal
Stewart or Lennox tartan and usually
has a red coat with a dark vest, over the
front of which he wears an embroidered
belt of scarlet silk instead of plain
leather. He is gorgeous with dirks,
skene dhus, sporrans and other orna-
ments, and he let's his hair fall to his
shoulders under bonnet that is cross
between Glengary and Balmoral and
trimmed with feathers
The burgher who strides along Princes
street, bearing these accouterments, is
not crank. He is a level headed, well
composed, thoughtful and wealthy gen
tleman, standing high in Edinburgh So
ciety. Suppose that man thus apparel
ed and caparisoned were to walk along
our streets! What time there would
be! Within the past few years, or since
the introduction Of bicycling. golfne
and other funny sports, some Of the men
and women in American cities weal
costumes the like Of which were not t
be seen in the old times. But for all
that we doubt whether Mr.. Theodore
Napier of Edinburgh would greatly en-.
joy life in this country if he appeared
in the public street in the fixtures de
scribed by Saint Mungo.
