The Primary Conditions Necessary to
Long and Healthy Life.
In discussing longevity at the Academy
of Science recently Mr.. 3. W. Warner said
that doctor could look at a Patients
hand and tell by the signs shown there
whether he would live or die.
1.-THE primary conditions OF longevity"
The Medical Record quotes Mr. Warner as

aestiye organs, as well as the brain, should
be large. II these organs are Large. the

"In the case of persons who have short

on the other side, the question becomes
more involved. Ii Is shown In grazing

The weapons comprised short car

as their riders. and had their tails and

In 1885. when the Duke of Monmouth
made bis abortive attempt to overthrow
King James H., the Life Guards rushed
to Dsvonshire and slaughtered the few
troops which the Duke had gathered
around him. This interfersd with his

NUT MEATS.
Tho Varied Purposes For which Ehey Are
Used.

Tho Varied Purposes For which They are
Used.
Nut meats are used mostly orpQnfec-
TONERS purposes, bat they ere sod aaso
for domestic use, for home eake andcandy
making, and for table use as desSeFt. The
meats chiefly sold are shese Of English
walnuts, pecaas, hickory nata black wal
nuts, Brazil npta and almonds
Years ago, when the oonsu1nptonoa puS
meats was comparatively small, the nuts
were cracked BY hand; now they ARC all
shelled by patented machines Of tf,Eeufous
construction, varying in their methods Of
operation according 10 the kinds Of nuts
for which they are designed. Such fiuts,
for example, as pecans and English wal
nuts, the meats Of which are formed in
substantially uniform halves, are fed into
hoppers from which they fail sing1y be-
tween knives 80 arranged that they cut
only the shell, without cutting or marrang
the meat. From the cutters the nuts drop
upon sitter, constantly shaken, Whera
the, shells are shaken clear Of the msass
and thrown off. The nut meats are left
entire, and they are seldom broken. The
meats are then separated into halves to re-
move the thin partition that divides the
nut
Brazil nuts are put into machines that
cut the ends from the nut. The structure
Of the Brazil nut shell is suoh that all or
the greater part of the shell is usually de-
taohed by the operation Of cutting of tha
ends. Whatever may remain is cut of
with knives by hand. Hickory nuts are
cracked In machines. 1t is impossible to
get whole meats; there are likely to be
some halves, but hickory meats are usual
~ in fragments
The various nut meats, when they have
been taken from the shells, are put
through drying process in blowers to re-
move superhuous moisture. The meats
keep better when properly dried Nut
meats packed for domestic uses arc put up
in half pound and pound paper boxes.
The usual commercial packages of nut
meats are s5 pound and so pound boxea
and barrels containing about $50 pounds.
Nut meats are also imported. OF tho
imported English walnuts about go pei
cent come in the form Of meats. The fill
berts imported are shelled almost aatogetn'
or. From this country pecan nut meat
are exported
The cultivation Of nuts is increasing In
this country, as is also the consumption OF
| them. New York Sun.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

Some of the Things Which the Great
American Philosopher Accomplished.
Lord Jeffrey wrote Of the American in
ventor and philosopher, "He never lost
sight of common sense. :" Philip 6. HUI
bert, Jr. in sketch Of Franklin In his re-
cent book, Inventors" says, Nothing
In nature failed to interest him., and
catalogue of his achievements, showing
his activity and resource, Is conclusive
proof of the truth of both statements.
Franklin inspired and established the
Junto, the pleasantest and most useful
