her father on Roanoke street, of periton-
ills, aged 81 years. Miss Norris had only

ter more thorough diagnosis of the
case on Saturday night the doctorc pro-
nounctd 1t very severe at tack of peri:on-

1t was then too late to do any good,
and after suffering the most excruciating
pain, death came to release her from
further suffering.

Under this system of measurements it is

ments. The criminal is first photo
graphed in several positions, then almost
every bone in his body is measured. AT

Bertillon system was adopted BY the gov
eminent and the measurement of 100, COO
persons showed that no two were alike
and that after period of ten years had
elapsed and the criminal had taken on

have been made in this country, and al

adopted the system.

SMELLING NUTS.


Nut meats are used mostly for confec-
TONERS purposes, but they are sold also
tor domestic use, for home cake and
candy-making, and for table use as des-
sert The meats chiefly used are those
Of English walnut. pecans, hickory
nuts, black walnuts, Brazil nuts and
almonds.
Years ago, when the consumption Of
nut meats was comparatively small, the
nuts were cracked by hand; now they
are shelled by patented machines of in
genious construction, varying in their
methods of operation according to the
Kinds of nuts for which they are de-
signed. Such nuts, for example, as
pecans and English walnuts, the meats
Of which are formed in substantially
uniform halves, are fed into hoppers,
from which they fall singly between
i;nives so arranged that they cut only
the shell, without cutting or marring
the meat. From the cutters the nuts
drop upon a sitter, constantly shaken,
where the shells are shaken clear of the
meats, and thrown off. The nuts are
left entire, and they are seldom broken.
The meats are then separated into
halves to remove the thin partition that
divides the nut
Brazil nuts are put into machines that
cut the ends from the nut; the struc-
ture of the Brazil nutshell is such that
all or the greater part of the shell is
usually detached by the operation of
cutting off the ends. Whatever may re-
main is cut off 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 usually in fragments.
The various nut meats, when they
have been taken from the shells, are
put through drying process in blow
trs. to remove superfous moisture; the
meats keep better when properly dried.
Nut meats packed for domestic uses
are put up in half-pound and pound
PAPER boxes. The usual commercial
packages of nut meats are 25-pound and
a0-pOund boxes, and barrels containing
about $50 pounds.

CARRIERS AND SUSPENDERS.
The Historic GirdIe Gives Way to the
Harness.

The suspender is gaining the day over
the garter, and is indeed much more
worn by the really smart woman than
the round garter. The secret of which
is that she has learned to make it serve
a twofold purpose. The old way of
wearing these suspenders fastened to
the sides of the corset has Il tendency
not only to push the corset out In front,
but what is much worse to force the
abdomen forward. But the clever
woman has hit upon a trick worth two
of that; one so simple that it seems
strange she should have been so long
finding it out. She has discovered that
one strap holds up the stocking exactly
as well as two and this she wears
fastened to the front of her corset, just
back of the steel, the effect of which
is to press the abdomen back. Broad
bands of elastic with strong fastenings
at either end come ready to be worn in
this way; but there is scheme even
better than that which any woman can
make for herself. Take rather wide
piece of silk elastic and incase it III two
pieces of ribbon stitched together and
of the length of the elastic when
stretched to its utmost limit. Stitch
one end of this to the corset just back
of the steel. In the other end work
two strong eyelets, or, better still, have
two corset eyelets clamped in through
which to pass yard of ribbon. Then
sew loop of wash ribbon attached to
the elastic and tie in dainty bow.
This is exceedingly pretty in effect,
holds the stockings absolutely secure,
and keeps an obtrusiye abdomen in
place. ....
If the round garter is tight enough
to hold up the stocking without fold
or wrinkle it is too tight to allow the
blood to circulate unimpeded, and this
structure is apt to bring Naricose veins
| and kindred ills. Where one is afraid
to trust herself entirely to the security
of the suspender, it is a very goodplan
to wear also Il round garter tight,enough
to hold up the stocking in case of acct
dent, but not sufficiently so to affect the
circulation.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

OLD-TlME STENOGRAPHERS.
They Swap Confessions as to the Mistakes
They Had Made.


They Had Made.
They were both old-time stenog-
raphers, employed somewhere by the
week, but the consciousness of being
able, at Will, to produce pages of hens
tracks which only they could decipher
and sometimes even they failed to do
so-invested them with feeling of
intense superiority to the rest of man.

But this normal feeling was for the
moment usurped by one of humility, as
they sat on the sofa, the light turned
gently down, and the soft radiance of
the Pickering jet in the street alone
illuminating the apartment.

paved the way by saying:
