NEW USES FORPEANUTs.
Oil of the Nuts May BE Used for Soap
and Culinary Purposes.

In view of the fact that there is a
superabundance of peanuts raised
every year in Virginia, Nopth Carolina
and other parts of the South, the sug-
gestion is made that peanut oil be used
more extensively in pharmacy, and be
permitted to take the place, to GER
tain extent, of olive oil. Professor S.
p. Sadtler recently produced an expert
mental soda soap from the oil extract
ed from American peanuts. In report
ing this fact he remarked significantly
that the bulk of the CASTLE soap made
in Marseilles is made from African
peanut oil. The average grade Of
American peanuts is slightly inferior
to the East African peanut in oil-pro-
ducing value, but experience has DEM
onstrated the excellent quality of the
Anne Tican peanut oil.
Foreign peanut oil comes to this
country in large quantities under diff
ferent :.ames, much of it labeled 'vir-
gin olive OIL Professor Sadtler says
of his experiments with oil from Vir-
gnia peanuts: The cold-pressed oil
is of u pale yellow color, anl of & pleas
ant flavor and odor. A very slight re-
fining makes from ii an agreeable table
poses. 1t has already been noted with
English peanut oil (and l can confirm
it from my experience with the Ameri-
can oin that when once freed from the
free acid found in the raw state it does
not tend to become rancid as easily as
olive oil. I have exposed samples to
strong sunlight for weeks without de-
veioping the slightest rancidity."
There has been comparatively little
attention given to the production of
peanut oil in this country, and at pres
ent it is not an important element in
commerce However as the chemical
composition of the peanut becomes bet
ter known attention is drawn to the
food value of the peanut meal and the
peacut grits. 1t has been found chat
they are richer in heterogeneous prinCi
pies than any of the vegetable seed

a LEGEND OF AUsABLE.
\ Man Who Crossed Bridge That
Was No: ThPrp.

From the Chicago Times Herald.
To the lover Of curious scenery the
Adirondacks present an infinite variety
The region abounds in lakes large and
small, surrounded by mountains or en-
powered in forests, and the rivers
which find their way between the
mountains seem in some places to have
cut their way through. leaving the
sheer precipices on either hand to mark
their pathway. The most famous of
these gOrges is the AuSabe chasm,
which is not far from where the Ausa-
bic river flows into Lake Champlan.
The galleries, caves and castellated
columns attract thousands of tourists
yearly, but seventy years ago it was
comparatively unknown. In those car
ly days the nrecipitous cliffs were
spanned by Il wooden bridge over
which the farmers had TO pass on their
way to Ausable Forks. The bottom of
the chasm at this point was a sheer
descent of 1875 feet. In those early days
the pioneers We're not skilled in the art
OF bridge building, and so one night,
when a fierce storm thundered through
the mountains, the bridge was swept
away, With the exception of the main
stringer, a beam about eighteen inches
square. The bridge was never rebuilt,
and another road to the little village of
Ausable Forks was utilized. The old
stringer, however, still stretched across
the cliffs above the Ausable chasIn.

The Prospect of Three Legs.

\ man who had lost Il leg, witnessing
some wonderful cures said to have been
performed by Mormon preachers, joined
that sect in the hope of getting healed.
The preachers referred him to Young as
the only prophet among them capable OF
treating such cases as his; so off to salt
Lake City he went and presented him
self before Young. The Mormon leader
was equal TO the emergency. He as
sured the man he could cause another
limb to come in place of the lost mem
Der, but called his attention to the fact
that he hau but few years Yet to live,
while there was an eternity beyond the
grave. And if | now give you another
leg said the prophet, you will not
only have this one when you get to
heaven, but also the one which you lost
so you will go through all eternity on
three legs" Horrihed by such a pros
pect the man retired, satisfied to get
through the remainder Of his years on
earth with the aid of his crutches.

DESERTED HER MOTHER.
Troubles OF the Masous Who Have
Friends Here.

In addition to the numerous admir-
ers of their artistic ability, Marion
Manola and Jack Mason have several
personal friends in this city, who Will
be panied to learn that professional
and domestic misfortune has overtak-
en- them at Savannah, Ga. They Will
be remembered by most local readers
as the stars of the company that gave
two charming presentations of Friend
Fritz" at the Grand Opera house,
Christmas. Her daughter Adelaide, a
girl of eighteen. will be recollected as
the serving maid Of the play. Her rare
beauty and perfect figure excited much
comment.
However, the fair Adelaide deserted
her mother when the company strand
ed, and returned to New York with
Manager Askin and wife. She left the
following note:
Dear Mother-Forgive me for what
] have done. Don't think that it is
selfishness or that / don't love you,
for love you with all my heart. 1t is
best that I go with Mr.. and Mrs. As
kin until l can get tc my father or get
another engagement Take care of
yourself until / am with you again.
love you. Forgive. Your Baby.
In this connection the New YORK
Herald says: "Mr. Atkin was the
manager of the company. and it is said
that he filled the girls head with the
idea that If she cut loose from her
mother he would make a great actress
of her. Hence, says Mrs Mason, her
fight. Just to add to the general COM
motion, Mr.. Mason had a fight with
his leading man, Sol Aiken, on Satur-
oay. and as a result does not look as
picturesque as usual"
Mrs. Mason is confined to her bed by
an affiiction which she was suffering
when in this city. Her first husband
was a wealthy man, Harry S. Mould
Of Pittsburg. 1t is to him that the
daughter says she is going. Miss Mould
was recently reported to be engaged
to Charles Dana Burrows, of Port
land, Me-, a nephew of Speaker Reed.

Ausable; there has been no bridge there
for the last ten years."
But you are mistaken, my friend;
l rode my horse across 1t not three
quarters Of an hour ago"
Impossible, sir; tell you that the
bridge blew down ten years ago"
Again / tell you, my friend, that 1
rode across il this very night" was
the imperturbable answer ut was too
dark for me to see, but l heard the
clattcr Of my horses feet on the plank
ing and the noise of the water in the
chasm below"
The argument waxed warmer and
warmer until the stranger said that
they would wait until next morning,
when it could easily be settled If there
was a bridge or not. He made a wager
with the landlord that 1t was still
standing across the cham.
The next morning every man, woman
and child of Ausable Forks was at the
chasm. Sure enough, in the soft sand
of the road there were footprints of a
horse, and the trail led from the
stringer across the chasm up TO the
tavern porch. One young daredevil
walked across the narrow stringer and
made a startling discovery.
There was a similar trail on the
other side!
The stranger had told the truth. In
the darkness of the night his horse had
crossed the chasm on single beam.
But that was not the strangest part
of the story. When that forenoon the
stranger rode down to the Ausable
chasm to settle his wager with the
keeper Of the tavern and he saw the
perilous path over which he had trav-
elcd the night before it is said that he
was stricken with a trembling that
never left his limbs until death, and
that within the space of sixty seconds
his hair turned from q jet black to the
color of the driven snow.
