1t will be n shock 70 high born girls
who expect TO finish their education at
Vassar to know that that great institution
was built up on beer.
Its founder, Matthew Vassar, had a
most interesting career. He was the son
of a poor man who came to this country
with his brother in 1896 to enjoy greater
religious freedom. They took a farm near
Poughkeepsie and soon discovered that
the land was well adapted to the cultiva-
ton OF hops. They then began 70 grow
hops and finally to manufacture a crude
variety of home-brewed ale. They found
a ready sale for II and finally established
a brewery in the town of Poughkeepsie,
which turned out to be a most profitable
investment.
Matthew Vassar was apprenticed TO
tanner, but did not like the job and with
the aid Of his mother ran away from IT,
He secured position in store in a
neighboring village and after a few years
returned to his home and engaged with
his father in the brewing business. At his
fathers death Matthew took charge OF the
property and succeeded i'm building Up a
handsome business which finally yielded
an immense fortune.
In order to perpetuate the family name
he decided to found an educational insti-
tuition which chould do for young women
what Harvard and Yale were doing for
young men.
The charter for Vassar Female College
was obtained in 1861 and Mr.. Vassar him
self broke ground for the main building.
the spade with which the work was done
being now one Of Vassar's cherished
relics.
The war interfered with the work, but
in September. 1861 the college was opened
with more than three hundred students
and was success from the first
Mr.. Vassar gave to the institution more
than three-quarters Of a million dollars
and a half million more has been since do
mated by his nephews.
These interesting facts are CLEANED from
an article in the National Magazine for
October. by Nancy Vincent McClelland,
one of tie graduates in the class of 1897.

The watermelon season Is now over, al
though every now and then there comes
TO our ears belated call Of "Wartol
Wartog like an echo from the season
that is past.
The peanut now has the call. and talk
ing about peanuts there is a bit of inter-
esting history in connection with that Vir-
ginia product with which the readers Of
The Times are not perhaps familiar
The peanut is a native Of Africa and
its history as an article OF traffic IS init
mately associated with that OF its brother,
or perhaps we should say its progenitor'
the negro. Before the war 1t was grown
in Virginia only I'm small patches for fam
lily use, but when the Yankees came South
to give freedom 70 the colored man and
brother, they got taste Of the dainty
nut, and while they did not become quite
so fascinated with 1t as did the soldiers
OF Xenephon with the lotus. they liked its
flavor and when they returned to the
North after the war, began to clamor for
This was the beginning Of the peanut
industry and it Is a pleasing coincidence
that peanuts should have raised them
selves to greater things on the stepping
stones Of their emancipated brother. the
colored man.
II may also be mentioned that the pea
nut, like the negro, has much improved
its condition by coming into contact with
American civilization, and the African
pea, which was once largely imported
into this country, is no longer favorite
article of diet, but is manufactured into
oil, finding its principal market IN Mar
settles, France. It usually comes 10 us

The penut has been a great blessing to

is grown principally IN southampton,
Nansemond, Isle OF Wight. Surry, Sussex,
Prince George, Gloucester Princes Anne
and Norfolk. Some OF the eastern Coun-
ties of North Carolina also grow it pro-
ftably. The crop has now become so i'm
mense that the price is nothing like what
It used to be- but soon after it was intro
duced into the counties above mentioned,
it was the most profitable crop in Virginia

State Settling Up.

Alfred Dickey in Bismarck Tribune:
''Unless you have travelled over the
state and are actively interested in the
land business you have no idea of the
extent to which various parts of the
state have been settled in the past few
years. Up in Wells county, we have
sold out every quarter section Of land
we had, and other dealers have had
the same experience. The government
land Office records show the extent to
which government lands have been
taken up, and another year you will
see 3N of the government lands settled.
The railroad companies are putting
many good settlers into different local
Titles and private enterprise is doing
the rest. Many good settlers have
come up overland from Nebraska and
adjoining states, with money to pur-
chase farming lands. The advance
guard of the Dunkards have already
arrived, and the first of next month
will see the arrival of a train load.
The vo., of the past election, which
was admitted not to be full one,
gives some idea of the growth of the
state population, and many of the
settlers of the past few years are no.
voters yet. The vote of the election
of 1898 will be surprise, and will
show what has been going on in the
way of immigration in the last two
or three years"

There seems to be some doubt
as to whether the taxes for 1896
can be collected, on the ground
that the new revenue law makes
no provision for their collection
and every other law that was on
our statute books having been re-
pealed. The question has been
submitted to the attorney gen
eral and tits hoped that the taxes
can be collected. for if they could
not be collected, it would impose
a hardship on every county,
town and village in the state.
Even if it was decided that the
taxes could not be collected every
taxpayer ought to walk up to the
treasurer's office and pay them
just the same, because if they
did not do so now they would be
compelled by law to do so later.

The state prohibitionists at
Casselton last week took occasion
to roast Gov. Briggs for vetoing

bill-Mr. Rankin was the head
push in the roast. Mr.. Rankin
is the man who expected to get a
fat job had the bill been signed.
The prohibs are hard to please.
The governor could not consist
emily do otherwise than veto
both measures, and in doing so
he has only carried out the wish
es of a large majority of the peo-
pie of North Dakota and the
pledges he made when nominated
that he would keep up the pres
ent prohibitory laW and sit down
on any useless expenditures
and a temperance commissioner
would certainly be a useless
officer. Again, suppose we had
a temperance commissioner
there would be a glorious oppor-
tunity for him to make a fat
thing out of the blind pigs by
absenting himself away from
different localities-for a consid-
eration-unles he was a profes-
sional spurner. The prohibition
lists had better let well enough
alone and give the governor
credit for sustaining the law.
